How do I know media brainwashing is real?

Obama’s ICE Chief received an award for removing over 900,000 illegal aliens.

Trump’s ICE chief was called a Nazi.

It is the same person - Tom Homan.

The difference? What the media told people to believe.

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Animal Farm by George Orwell, in short:

1. Old Major, the fattest pig on the farm, delivers a sermon about "liberation." He has never missed a meal in his life – but he is the most envious of the Man – the producer, the entrepreneur…

2. “Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy” – the ideology is manufactured from the start, designed not to free the animals but to direct their resentment away from the pigs and toward a useful target. Every revolution needs an enemy. The pigs chose the farmer.

3. The revolution’s commandments were never a constitution. They were a management tool – sacred enough to motivate, vague enough to rewrite, and controlled from the beginning by the only ones who could read – the pigs.

4. Boxer the horse, the most honest creature on the farm, decent, loyal yet naive, totally devoted, responds to every setback with the same answer: “I will work harder!” He means it completely. He works himself half to death. It is the most heartbreaking sentence in the book – because the new system is perfectly designed to absorb exactly that kind of devotion and give nothing back.
When he finally collapses from exhaustion, he is sold to the knacker. For cash. The pigs buy more whisky with the proceeds.
The other animals are told he died in a hospital receiving the best care. The most useful animal on the farm is the one who never once suspects he is the product.

5. The commandments get rewritten at night not because power corrupted the revolution – the rewriting was always the plan. Language was the weapon from the first speech Old Major ever gave.

6. “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others” – this is not the system’s failure. It is the system’s true face, finally visible once the animals are too exhausted and confused to object.

7. Orwell’s message: the lie came first. And the "liberation" it promised delivered something far worse than what came before – because the fattest pig was merely selfish at the start, but by the end is selfish and fluent in the language of "justice." He took all the eggs. He took everything. And made the hens thank him for it.
The fattest pig knew what he was doing all along…

The majority of Muslims are not jihadi Salafists, but the majority of Muslims do not theologically disagree with jihadi Salafism.

The difference between "normal" Muslims and the jihadists is not a different interpretation of the faith.

Both sanctify the same man and the same book.

The difference is in the level of commitment, not in the underlying belief.

Think of it by analogy.

The overwhelming bulk of active missionary conversion in Christianity is done by one branch, evangelical, born-again Christianity, with Catholicism as the next largest share.

But while not every Christian or Catholic is a missionary, nearly all of them regard proselytization as an essential part of the faith.

They don't devote their own lives to the mission, yet they approve of it, and they support it wherever they can.

Jihad functions in Islam the way the Great Commission functions in Christianity.

Most believers won't carry it out personally, but they affirm it, they won't condemn it, and the doctrine itself sits at the center of the religion, not the fringe.

Today I’ll work a 9-hour day to pay for illegals to have free housing and healthcare. Most of my paycheck will go to taxes , my inflated mortgage and my insanely high health insurance costs—my taxes will fund fraud, global communism, and illegal border hoppers. I’ll put away a measly amount so my children can hope to one day afford college, while the illegals who just showed up here will go for free. My American children will be paying loans well into their 30s while they compete with debt-free foreign invaders for a low-paying job outside their degree.

This is the new American dream brought to us by criminal politicians and corrupt judges. 🇺🇸 🆘

🚨ISLAMIZED DEARBORN: THE POLICE FORCE IS BEING TAKEN OVER

Dearborn Muslim Police Chief Issa Shahin stands proudly in front of a Lebanese flag and openly boasts about transforming his department.

He praises his “Arab American” police force, now 45% Arab (up from just 3%).

He celebrates hijabs being respected even when facing the justice system.

He closes most speeches with “Hamdullah.”

He brags about his strong, proud Palestinian wife and admits he has been actively recruiting to make the force more “representative.”

The goal is clear: 100% Islamic control so the city, state, and eventually the country live under Sharia.

This is not diversity or community policing.

This is the deliberate Islamization of American law enforcement.

When the police chief himself pushes religious accommodations and demographic replacement while ending speeches in praise to Allah, you no longer have officers protecting the Constitution. You have Sharia enforcement in uniform.

EXCLUSIVE 🚨 Fort Worth, Texas - On June 27, 2026, at Trinity Pride Fest in Fort Worth, Texas, street preachers Richard Penkoski and David Grisham were subjected to multiple violations of their First Amendment rights while attempting to preach on public property.

Upon arrival, they were immediately met by Fort Worth police officers who blocked their access to the public street and sidewalk, threatening both men with arrest for trespassing if they entered the area. When Grisham reminded officers that he had previously sued the City of Fort Worth in 2014 over this exact issue - a lawsuit that resulted in a settlement and an official apology from the city - the officer dismissed the prior case, stating, “I don’t care, you can file whatever lawsuit you want.”

After being forced outside the barricades, the confrontation escalated as multiple officers allegedly threatened to cite the men based on the subjective reactions of attendees. A female officer stated they would be cited if they said anything “offensive.” When Penkoski responded that offensive speech is protected under the Constitution and is not a crime, the officer claimed it fell under disorderly conduct, stating, “Well, yes, that is the conduct.”

Another officer further confirmed that citations would be based solely on whether others were offended. When Penkoski asked whether calling a biological male a “male” would result in a citation if someone took offense, the officer responded that if he continued doing so and someone found it offensive, he would be cited. Penkoski also pointed out that he was deeply offended by half-naked men walking around children at the event, but the officer dismissed the complaint, responding, “There’s really not much I can do about that.”

During the encounter, Penkoski pulled up and directly showed an officer established U.S. Supreme Court precedent confirming that the government cannot prohibit citizens from accessing traditional public forums such as streets and sidewalks simply because a private group holds a permit. Although the officer acknowledged the information by responding, “Huh,” he continued enforcing the restriction. (This video will be in the thread)

As officers repeatedly pushed the preachers farther away from the event, David Grisham was ultimately issued a citation for “unreasonable noise.” When asked to explain what constituted unreasonable noise under the circumstances, officers were unable to provide a clear definition, vaguely suggesting it could involve “sticking a megaphone in someone’s ear” - which Penkoski states did not occur, as the megaphone was held at waist level - or simply offending people.

When the officers were asked how they justified suppressing the constitutional rights of Christians and veterans who fought for the country, they offered no meaningful objective explanation. As a veteran who was willing to die defending American liberties, Penkoski said he found it deeply alarming that a Christian preacher in modern America could be threatened with arrest and cited while standing on public property simply because his message offended those listening.

Hi everybody. Welcome to the release of the second lecture from my extensive tour archives.  We’ve been working together late at night when my symptoms recede enough so that I can finally concentrate to make this release a possibility.

At the same time recently, I've been able to write a little bit and I'm working on three essays at the moment, which I hope to finish and release in the near future. One deals with the climate lies propagated by the socialists and the leftists. Another deals with the issue of the alphabet mafia and the associated Pride movement. And the final one deals with the so-called “rape gangs” in the UK, asking whether the terminology “rape gang”, which is definitely an improvement over “grooming gang”, is sufficient to accurately describe the magnitude of the crimes that are being committed.

In any case, I'm working on these now, hoping to contribute something to the ongoing public debate about these crucially important issues. I'm unhappy with my silence, however necessitated it might be by the conditions of my illness. I would like to get back to.

Thanks for your time and attention. I hope you enjoy listening to this second lecture as much as I enjoyed delivering it.

This is the second lecture from the We Who Wrestle With God tour.

What does it mean that your God is whatever you put first? Why are the stories that grip you not false but hyper-real? Why is work identical to sacrifice, and what does that reveal about the nature of the covenantal relationship between humanity and the spirit of being? What happened when Cain offered his second rate effort and why is that same temptation available to every one of us in every decision we make? What is the story of Job really about? And what is the one promise that runs through the entire biblical corpus for those who are willing to offer their best?

These are not abstract questions. They are the questions that determine the structure of your life whether you answer them consciously or not.

Lecture filmed in Adler Theatre in Davenport, Iowa on February 18, 2024.

Saw this on FB: 🔥 🔥

On day 1 of my high school history class, our teacher got up and said:

“You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago, people your age were married, planted crops, had children and built a cabin before winter.

You can do your homework. The bar is set embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies.

You just have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe air-conditioned room.

You have no excuses.”

This is the kind of teachers we need.

[JB and family @SimmonsBart]

Last week, a Muslim woman entered our family ranch store and asked for Halal beef. When I told her we do not offer it, she demanded to know why not. As she turned to leave, I extended my hand in a simple gesture of goodwill—only for her to refuse it outright. The same person who expects us to accommodate her faith’s ritualistic slaughter of our livestock—complete with specific blessings and throat-cutting methods—could not bring herself to touch a Christian man’s hand. It was a stark reminder that some demands for tolerance flow only in one direction: ours.

[Nazi Hunters @HuntersOfNazis]

Imagine strapping an 8-kilo explosive vest on your 14yo son, promising him Islamic paradise for bravely blowing up Jews.

Then you watch IDF soldiers spot the threat, clear civilians, and calmly talk the boy into letting the bomb squad remove it — because jail is better than death.

Now imagine his family having the audacity to launch a global campaign, outraged that the ‘evil Jewish supremacists’ imprisoned their ‘sweet boy’ under ‘apartheid.’

You don’t have to imagine it. This is the Israeli experience, with far too many variations of it happening to absurd degrees.
