Dire Straits fans, this is my labor of love. For 17 years I’ve carried it alone, sharing this music with you. I turned off subscriptions because it was never about money. My only goal is to keep Mark Knopfler’s music alive. Please support the page. It means everything to me. 🎸❤️
The next Governor of CA just told everyone to avoid CA Mexican restaurants like Tito’s Tacos and Don Antonio’s and instead go to an illegal street vendor who doesn’t pay taxes nor follow any health codes. And he thought “yeah let’s post that on main”.
CA is so screwed.
IMHO, a lot of conservatives are missing the Biblical forest for the woke trees in Nolan's Odyssey. Yes, the casting of Elliot Page is silly and egregious. But here's the thing: Nolan's "The Odyssey" is an apologia for Christian morality poured into a Greek vase.
The entire movie is rooted in what Nolan terms "Zeus' law." That law is: "Treat others as you would want to be treated, because anyone might be a god." Now, clearly, there's nothing like that in Greek mythology. It's not implicit in Homer. It's a direct rip from Biblical morality, substituting "because anyone might be a god" for "because man was made in the image of God."
Nolan then takes this rule and uses it as his moral glue: the idea is that Odysseus, in utilizing the Trojan Horse, violated Zeus' law and led to full-scale slaughter. That sin has led to the unleashing of broader globalized sin (the "sea peoples" who don't respect Zeus' law and are invading surrounding areas). This is a highly Biblical message: that sin is infectious, and that sin also affects the world at large, not just the sinner.
Odysseus has sinned, and he must atone for that sin through self-imposed exile. He must also sacrifice his own aspirations to restore the possibility of a moral universe: because he has unleashed catastrophic violence and violation of Zeus' law -- manifest in the suitors' cynical use of Zeus' law to eat Penelope out of house and home -- he must violate Zeus' law one last time and then accept the penalty, which is exile.
This is a not only a movie that will make millions of people go read classical literature again. It also reinforces the idea that violation of the Golden Rule has disastrous consequences.
I dunno. I'd consider that, on balance, a large-scale win for civilizational values, when weighed against the woke casting of Elliot Page or the dumbass discussion over whether Lupita Nyongo is good-looking enough (she is, and for the record Diane Kruger is German, not Greek).
🚨 NOW: Senator Mike Lee just spent the last nearly 90 MINUTES on the Senate floor trying to pass the SAVE America Act, laying out every way to get it done and calling on leadership to CANCEL RECESS
"Show who they are who they claim to be! Our right to vote, our most sacred incident of US citizenship requires NOTHING LESS."
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you, @BasedMikeLee!
After this week, the House and Senate won’t be in session at the same time again until SEPTEMBER 14 if we keep the current schedule.
That’s insane. We STILL need to pass the SAVE America act and prevent Democrats from shutting down the government in October.
This would NOT fly in the business world. We need to stay here until we get ALL our work done. That’s what the American people expect of us.

The far-left Spanish government does NOT represent the people! 🇪🇸
Rome (2005–2007) was meant to run for five seasons, but HBO’s soaring production costs cut it short after two. Even with a rushed ending, it remains one of the richest and most immersive historical dramas television has ever produced.
This Changes Everything.
Twenty CIA and FBI agents have blown the whistle, confirming that Barack Obama and his Chief of Staff, CIA Director John Brennan, created the false Russia hoax, doctored intelligence to overthrow the duly elected president of the United States in 2016, and locked the report in a CIA vault for nearly a decade.”
DEVIN NUNES VINDICATED
On March 21, 2017, Devin Nunes traveled to the White House and informed President Trump that he was being overthrown.
The following day, March 22, 2017, he stood alone, holding an unexpected press conference confirming that Barack Obama had spied on Trump and the Trump campaign.
On April 17, 2017, Devin Nunes was forced to resign from the House Intelligence Committee’s Obama-Russia inquiry—because Paul Ryan is a piece of garbage.
Now, give the man the Presidential Medal of Freedom—at once.
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING
Oz (1997–2003) walked so HBO’s golden era could run. Long before The Sopranos & The Wire, it proved television could tell morally messy, uncompromising stories with an ensemble cast that never felt safe. Brutal, unpredictable & still ahead of its time.
Imagine this: you get paid by our tax dollars and you don’t even show up to do your job when it involves our tax dollars being stolen.
Wtf are these people doing in office if they don’t even care about our money being stolen and wasted? They are simply working against us.
