THEY can no longer be allowed to weaponize our empathy against US.

Sad individual stories CANNOT be used as defense against or justification for poor policies.

The elites WILL employ tactics that exploit US wanting the best for our fellow Americans.

Dismantle the Hollow State.

[John Robb @johnrobb]

How do you fix a hollow state? You remove the rotten assumptions.

Rotten assumptions are assumptions that;

> were initially used to justify policies (programs, laws, or regulations), allocate funding, and hire people or companies to implement them.

> are either false at the start, proven false when tested by experience, or become false as conditions change.

> are never fixed, measured for effectiveness (measurements are ignored), discussed in public (discussions are shut down or shunned), and nobody responsible for them is held accountable.

See the report "Blitzing the Hollow State" for more.

This is not a political situation. This is a royal family of an area where a quarter of a million girls have been repeatedly and routinely sexually brutalized.
This isn’t political; this is unspeakably evil. @RoyalFamily

@japan_nobunaga No truer words.

@Kronykal Is that you Becky?

In the 1980s, dermatologists launched a PR blitz blaming sunlight for cancer.

Why? To push expensive skin cancer treatments.

Skincare industry has enjoyed the fruits of the sunlight scare as well.

Perhaps no country does business with the UK until they can sort out this repulsive disregard for women and for humankind at all.

Dear LGBTQ+ Americans:

We support your right to do anything you want to yourself or with consenting adults.

We have long been tolerant and accepting of that.

But somewhere along the way our tolerance and acceptance turned into YOUR hatemongering intolerance and bigotry against our deeply held religious beliefs.

The SF Giants hat controversy is just the tip of the iceberg. If you don't start tolerating us, the tolerance and acceptance we currently show you will vanish.

That reality is getting closer and closer.

You have been advised. Wise up.

Love,
The Rest of America

The panic-stricken efforts by the state to force digital ID on the proles while simultaneously securing anonymity and cover for themselves and their own is a wonder to behold.

[Tussen @tussen29]

@japan_nobunaga Not even a tiny little bit. I spent years taking my children to 2 different schools, less than 7km apart, with my home in the center. No buses, no trains, no safe pathways.
It was more than 1hr round trip driving every day.

@japan_nobunaga Consider that a well tempered blade both cuts and bends.

[Tussen @tussen29]

@japan_nobunaga This is the importance of a shared national culture and heritage.

🚨 THREAD: What do Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Elaine Chao have in common? They were all paid by a Marxist-Islamist Iran group that was designated as terrorist until 2012.

No, this is not a joke.

Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) was founded by leftist Islamists to oppose the western-backed Pahlavi, and participated in his 1979 overthrow. Khomeini barred MEK afterwards. MEK was implicated in multiple bombings, including that of Americans, and remained an openly armed group until 2003.

Since they got de-listed as a terrorist organization in 2012 on procedural grounds, MEK and their fronts have been actively recruiting US politicians selling themselves as a moderate alternative to Khomeini. But RAND Corporation says MEK meets the qualifications for a cult, citing criteria such as forcing their members to work 16+ hour days and forced divorces.

Polls of the Iranian-American community shows that they do NOT accept Rajavi, MeK's leader, as legitimate, with a 46-point net disapproval - numbers nearly as bad as the existing regime.

As Pence's former Chief of Staff, Marc Short, has already weighed against Trump deal, it's helpful to recall this.

Receipts below. As always, patience as I pull the thread together.👇

Policies like this are necessary to swell the ranks of those dependent on the State, solidifying an important part of the democrat voter base.

McDonald's announced they're replacing cashiers with kiosks in California just after the $20 minimum wage kicked in. Shocking to absolutely no one who understands basic economics. When you artificially price labor above its market value, employers find substitutes. Machines, automation, or they simply eliminate positions entirely.

The teenagers who desperately need that first job experience? Gone. The single mother trying to re-enter the workforce after years away? Priced out by someone with more skills. You've just created a legal barrier that prevents the least skilled workers from competing on the one thing they had going for them: willingness to work for less while they build experience.

Politicians pat themselves on the back for "helping workers" while unemployment among young minorities hits double digits. The workers who keep their jobs benefit (temporarily), but the invisible victims, those who never get hired in the first place, don't make headlines. Economics doesn't care about your good intentions.

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

When I said this throughout my campaign, CNN people called me cruel and unhinged. Now, after they helped secure the election for the 2 dorks responsible for all these problems, CNN is now echoing my campaign talking points as gospel. Fascinating!

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

For decades the American intelligentsia and the laptop class have demeaned, diminished, defamed, derogated and disparaged those of us who work with our hands and/or live in the American heartland.

For those same decades we just took it because all are entitled to free speech under the First Amendment.

We were actually polite about it. For decades.

But somewhere along the way the verbal attacks turned into functional, material attacks on our culture, our way of life and our pocket books.

But still we were polite about it and thought that we could express ourselves through the ballot box, and we did in 2016 by electing Donald Trump.

This was unacceptable to the intelligentsia/laptop class so they decided to launch a literal coup through the “Trump/Russia Collusion” hoax, they stole an election in 2020, and when that didn’t work for the next election, they tried to imprison the man we first elected on all manner of fabricated charges.

So we stopped being polite about it and no longer give even the slightest care about what our self-appointed “elites” think.

I just explained why we really, REALLY do not care that on the lawn of the White House a UFC fighter called Michelle Obama a “man.”

We REALLY don’t care, “elites.” You destroyed comity long ago, and you had this coming.

Plus you are going to get plenty more where that came from, I promise.

Deal with it, losers.

God bless America.
