@SarahLazarus16 I’m a proud “bitter clinger” (2008), “deplorable” (2016), “MAGA extremist”(2022), and “floating piece of garbage” (2024).

@profstonge When Anheuser-Busch ran these beers from St Louis, they spoke truth and were genuine, not to mention they had legendary ads: Real Men of Genius, Bud Frogs etc. Selling out to InBev killed them.

The New York Times claims: "We acknowledge mistakes in our reporting with corrections. If you spot an error, please let us know at [email protected]."

OK, we spotted a big one in 2018. It's your Pulitzer submission for the Russiagate hoax you perpetuated. Will you correct it?

🚨🚨 Tate fans. I want you to understand it's game over. The boys had a decent run, but they're cooked. Their only hope is Trump intervening - which is not going to happen. Trump doesn't need Tate. They are facing life in the UK. Then life in Romania. Hubris a bish.

@Sassafrass_84 I married a half-Greek/half-Italian woman. I give her lots of space when she’s talking.

A chart that tells you all you need to know about the difference between the two parties in the year 2026.

People with advanced degrees, but lower incomes are the most likely to vote Democrat. People with no college degree, but higher incomes are most likely to vote Republican.

It is a simple fact that actual "working class" people-- those who grew up poor, slugged it out, and made something of themselves-- now solidly vote Republican.

Whereas, the intellectual elite of America, those who couldn't turn their second master's degree into a stable living, are more likely to hate capitalism and vote for Democrats.

NEWS The GAO now says the U.S. government wasted $3 trillion on overpayments since 2003 out of programs like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, SNAP, the EITC, the VA and more. That’s about the size of France or Italy. Stunning that Democrats attacked Doge and Elon Musk trying to stop colossal waste like this. What the DSA and Democrat communists won’t tell you is that the U.S. spends $7 trillion annually on socialist-style programs—that’s where most of the overpayments come from. $3 trillion isn’t a rounding error. It’s a governing error. That’s not just waste. It’s systematic government failure. The GAO says this has been a government-wide problem for years. Washington’s biggest growth industry is fraud and overpayments. This is abuse of U.S. taxpayers. @USGAO #news #breakingnews #BreakingNews @x @ap @reuters @cbs @abc @nbc @FoxBusiness @FoxNews @EveningEdit @DOGE @DOGE @elonmusk #doge

Pro-tip: Don't

1. film yourself doing the pimp thing
2. brag about doing the pimp thing with underage girls
3. brag about how you defraud your victims and end up with all their money

The sex trade is not for idiots.

Andrew Tate is an idiot.

This has been a public service announcement.

I regret to inform you that, once again, the thing that never happens has happened.

Actually, it happened 6,600 times.

Soooo.... Illegal aliens are registered to vote & actually voting in New Jersey?

And it's because of a "computer glitch"?

I wonder how many more "GLITCHES" there are around the country casting votes for Democrats?

I’ve just finished reading Gad Saad’s book Suicidal Empathy.

It ranks, along with Chris Rufo’s America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything and Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay’s Cynical Theories, as the best take-down of the lunacy at the heart of the wokeist philosophy.

For Saad, empathy—in itself a perfectly decent trait—has become so grossly exaggerated that it threatens truth, reality, and justice.

Cases in point abound: so they won’t feel bad about themselves, we’ll allow biological men to compete in women’s sports and crush the dreams of thousands of young women; so as not to undermine the self-esteem of minorities, we will permit unqualified candidates to have positions in universities and the corporate world; so that everyone might feel included, we will characterize the meritocracy as “white privilege,” etc.

As I was making my way through Saad’s book, I kept remarking the sharp distinction between empathy and love.

To empathize is to enter profoundly into the experience of another and to endeavor not to hurt that person’s feelings. But to love is, as Thomas Aquinas taught, “to will the good of the other.”

As I said, in itself and all things being equal, empathy is a good thing. But it is not the same as love, which, depending on circumstances, can very much involve hurting someone’s feelings.

When a professor gives a student a “C” as an honest reflection of his work, he might well be insulting him, but he’s also telling him the truth and perhaps even urging him to try harder.

When, in the Confessional, a priest tells a murderer to turn himself in to the police, he’s undoubtedly making that person’s life more uncomfortable, but he’s also willing the man’s good.

Any decent parent knows that showing real love for her children means engendering all kinds of bad feelings in them.

In light of this distinction, we can understand why Jesus didn’t say, “have empathy for one another,” but rather “love one another.” And why St. John the Evangelist didn’t say, “God is empathy,” but rather “God is love.”

It occurred to me as I was reading Saad’s book that one reason Wokeism has seized the consciousness of so many in the West is that Christianity has faded as a cultural force and Christians themselves have forgotten what stands at the heart of their faith.
