@Araspds @realMaalouf You swiped them from the Romans 500 years ago.

@realMaalouf Hem ülkeme saldırıyorsunuz hem biz kendi ülkemizi savunduğumuz için bizi soykırımcı olarak ilan ediyorsunuz biz kendi ülkemizi savunduk bu topraklarda 1000 yıldır varız istediğimizi yapın bu topraklar bizim ve bizim olmaya devam edecek 🇹🇷💪🏻

Today is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. Over 3 million Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, Yazidis, and Maronites were killed by the Ottoman Turks. This is what an actual genocide looks like. Not whatever people are calling a genocide today.

@RationalWrong @jihadwatchRS Excuses for rape, theft, slavery, and murder.

@jihadwatchRS An honest question. Has Islam offered anything of value to humanity?

Most people assume that Islam is one of the world's great religions, and that it's fundamentally benign and good for people aside from a few "extremists." Anyone who thinks otherwise is dismissed as "racist," even though Islam is not a race, and "Islamophobic," a word that didn't even exist until recent times. Yet is true? Could Islam actually not be good for individuals or societies? Inconceivable? Maybe not. Find out in "The Tragedy of Islam: Failure and Excuses."

@NyxLucis1o1o @jihadwatchRS Islam will remain until the end of day…. when Jesus Christ returns and drives a stake through its bloody demonic heart.

@jihadwatchRS The only tragedy is you believing in the idea of defeating Islam. Islam will remain till the end of days.

@U_Siphoz @EzekielStoneXXX @Handre Uh, you don’t like SA’s laws from the 1970’s but you like the laws of the 2020’s…. I suspect the real issue isn’t the laws.

@EzekielStoneXXX @Handre ..most countries in the continent. Countries have laws. Even the US has laws. What is rubbing off most SAns is elon's obsession with our laws. When the same laws are applied by other countries he turns a blind eye.

Current situation South Africa, a geographically large country with a rural population of millions of people. Many areas don't even have a cellphone signal, let alone internet. Elon: We can give you high-speed web access in all rural areas for less than what your local suppliers are currently asking in cities. ANC: Sounds great, but you are white. Elon: I will give free web access to 2.4 million underprivileged children. ANC: But... you are white. SA-Media: This white racist doesn't want to abide by our non racist rules. He must give 30% of his company to our black elites for free, fuck the school children.

@RealCalvin1 Lotsa folks under Satans control pushing Satans favorite religion

King Charles pushing Islam William and Kate visiting Mosque's. Pope pushing Islam Woke right pushing Islam None of this is organic.

@amuse While this is a nice article it misses the fundamental understanding that the Iranian leadership is religiously motivated by their Islamic messianic Islamist doctrine known as Mahdism.

@Ryans_Ramblings @nickshirleyy @JamesGavsie I think you would be happier on Reddit or Blue Sky.

@nickshirleyy @JamesGavsie If it puts a stop to clickbait journalism like yours, then i'm all for it. Also, for those who want to know what the bill actually is ⤵️⤵️⤵️

California is trying to pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown. The proposed bill is titled AB 2624 and was made after I exposed mass fraud by immigrant groups in America. Under AB 2624, government-funded entities like the Somali “Learing” Daycare centers would be protected from being exposed if they operated inside California. The enemy truly is within. When our politicians would rather protect fraudsters and illegal migrants, it’s time for us to stand up or face mass oppression from the traitors who “rule” over us.

@BjorkBrodern More Finnish anti-American’ism, proving there’s no reason for anyone on the west side of the Atlantic to care what happens on the east side of the Atlantic. The US needs to leave NATO. Have fun with playing with the Russians by yourself.

The mass extermination of American fauna just proves that European anti poaching laws were correct and just.

@MarinMom1 @ThaneCawdor @CynicalPublius @BishopBarron Luke 22:36 NIrV He (Jesus) said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it. And also take a bag. If you don't have a sword, sell your coat and buy one. Luke 22:38 NIrV The disciples said, "See, Lord, here are two swords." "Two swords are enough!" he (Jesus) replied.

@ThaneCawdor @CynicalPublius @BishopBarron Where. In. The. Bible. Does. Christ. Advocate. Violence? Suuuuuuper simple, simpleton.

The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media. I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.

@MarinMom1 @CynicalPublius @BishopBarron Luke 22:36 NIrV He (Jesus) said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it. And also take a bag. If you don't have a sword, sell your coat and buy one. Luke 22:38 NIrV The disciples said, "See, Lord, here are two swords." "Two swords are enough!" he (Jesus) replied.

@CynicalPublius @BishopBarron Catholic here👋 Please do let me know where I can find the Bible passage quoting Jesus as saying, “go forth and slaughter your enemy.”

@AugustinaJJD @CynicalPublius @BishopBarron Luke 22:36 NIrV He (Jesus) said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it. And also take a bag. If you don't have a sword, sell your coat and buy one. Luke 22:38 NIrV The disciples said, "See, Lord, here are two swords." "Two swords are enough!" he (Jesus) replied.

@CynicalPublius @BishopBarron Not really. "God does not bless any conflict" is self-evident. All conflict represents a failure of the will of God. God does not bless conflict.

@AmitD21546 @PlumbNick

@PlumbNick bro haw about china visa? are you paid by ccp or what?

Quick update on the H-1B state contractor analysis and a preview from a small subset of parsed HHSC Contracts. The most interesting finding (to me) so far: A single H-1B dependent contractor received payment for $10,460,376.99 in staffing contracts from the state of Texas since Greg Abbott has been in office. In only 12 days of April 2026, they've netted $309,113. They also received over $2.7M in forgiven PPP loans and approval for at least 35 H-1B workers. The images below are just a snapshot of recent HHSC state contracts for IT Staffing Augmentation - only one job has a billable rate below $90 an hour. Also of note - most of the "workers" names I've searched list different employers on LinkedIn than the contractor reporting them as the assigned worker. It almost makes you think that many of these people are either not actually working on these contracts or they can't say they are because their H-1B visa was sponsored by a different employer. However, some also show a location in India - so who knows... @GregAbbott_TX how much more of this do you need to see?

@trigaggie @MQSullivan I think you would be happier on Reddit or BlueSky.

@MQSullivan Republicans and the woke TPPF are shoving singular thinking and Christian principles down our throats. Christian principles belong in church. Our kids are in for a rude awakening not being able to think critically.

A college professor has been caught on camera telling the truth: a state university is still using tax dollars to subsidize left-wing indoctrination. Learn more in today's TEXAS MINUTE.

@ENJU1123PIPI Hello from Texas!

私はこのポストを日本語で書いてます🇯🇵 このポスト、日本以外の国の人に届いてますか？ 届いたらコメントくれたら嬉しいです！ 世界の壁を超えて、仲良くなりましょう🌏

@SamirKantT @Ofer_binshtok Since there was only the Mughal empire at the time where India is now you are saying they stole Muslim ideas and technology.

@Ofer_binshtok Just adding that British/Europe not only sucked out all the physical resources they also stole all the scientific ideas, tenor and technologies and called it their own, carried out atrocities, divided the society in various ways include caste, created rent seeking society…

In 1193 Muslims burned Nalanda, the greatest library in the world. It burned for three straight months and millions of ancient manuscripts were destroyed forever. This is real Islamic colonialism. They didn't just steal resources. They tried to destroy India's entire culture. The British looted gold. The Muslims tried to burn the soul of Bharat (India).

@_A_khalifa So, how many Christian churches, Hindu temples and Jewish synagogues are in the Arabian peninsula and the Gulf and are openly and publicly worshiping?

This war has really opened my eyes to something: a lot of people in Japan, America, Europe, & other countries have no clue what real Islam actually is. We Arabs from the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf the original heart of Islam don’t tolerate extremists in our countries. Our societies are genuinely tolerant. We welcome people from all backgrounds whether they’re different in race or religion. It’s never been an issue for us. The real hardliners and extremists run away from our region and head straight to Europe, America, Japan, & places like that. They take advantage of your freedom of speech in the worst way possible and try to tear down your customs,your culture, & your way of life. Sadly, you keep giving them that space & then later you blame Islam for the mess These people don’t represent Islam at all. What they carry is a harsh, twisted ideology mixed with their own backward cultural habits from back home none of it has anything to do with us! So please, stand strong against political Islam and groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, and all the other extremists. Come visit the UAE, Dubai, & the Gulf. See for yourselves who the real Arabs and real Muslims are !

@Noahpinion @Robotbeat You are so wrong

@moaltan @fandompulse I think you would be more comfortable on Reddit or Blue Sky.

@fandompulse Politics is life. If you are not talking about right & wrong then that simply means you are supporting the current status quo and order of things as they are. Stop the BS about being apolitical. You are very cunningly political and serving the interests of your paymasters.🤷‍♂️

Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books: "I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that." "I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that." "To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff." Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

@samuha @SgtJulier1776 @esrtweet When the Islam disease finishes absorbing Germany you will see ‘Islamic German’ tanks rolling into Poland all over again.

@SgtJulier1776 @esrtweet How many Arab no-go zones are in Poland?

Hello, Europeans. The first thing you need to understand about the rant I'm about to utter is that I'm not MAGA, not a Trumpite, but a libertarian who has in the past nevertheless been strongly supportive of US military presence overseas. Because I want the wars that defend this country to be fought in somebody else's country, as far away from me as possible with a nice big ocean in the way. Also relevant: I have a history of having lived in Europe and traveled there extensively. I was at one time bilingual in English and Spanish, and have been passably fluent in Italian and French as well. I could probably still find my way around London and Rome and central Paris reasonably well. So if you're tempted to tell yourselves that I'm some kind of parochial American hick, abandon that hope. All that was set-up. So that, when I tell you that almost the entirety of the US electorate, not just Trump supporters, is increasingly fed up with your shit, take me seriously. We've been cleaning up your messes and keeping the sea lanes open since 1917. And that was for you, not us - we, being very close to resource self-sufficient, don't need that investment so much. We've spent enormous amounts of blood and treasure on keeping you safe. We risked nuclear hellfire on our own cities for nearly 50 years to keep Soviet tanks from rolling through the Fulda Gap. Even since the Cold War ended, we've subsidized your socialist-playpen welfare states and disastrous immigration policies by taking the need to maintain militaries more effective than a sack of wet farts off the table. Now we've come looking for help keeping a bunch of rabid Islamic fanatics from getting nuclear weapons that are a clear and present danger to all of you even more than they are to us, and what do we hear? "Waah! It's another Republican president we don't like, just like the last half dozen of them! So we're going to sulk in a corner, except when we're biting at your ankles with crap like airspace restrictions." No. No, we're not going to take this anymore. It's not just conservatives who have had enough, it's moderates and people who used to be strong supporters of liberal internationalism. Our citizen's willingness to pay higher taxes to protect you was upward-bounded by your gratitude. Now that we know your gratitude has effectively gone to zero, so does our willingness. Don't expect this to change if the Democrats take power here. They are much less liberal-internationalist than Republicans now. While they might make mouth noises that soothe you, their overriding concern is the gaping, insatiable maw of their income transfer programs. They'll sacrifice subsidizing Europe's playpen socialism to feed their domestic version in a heartbeat. And there is no longer any significant Democratic constituency to argue against that. In truth, three decades after the Cold War ended there is no American constituency at all for the massive subsidies you get. It frankly surprises me they lasted this long, that we were this patient with your cowardice and your bitchy whining. This moment has been a long time coming. It's not Donald Trump sinking the transatlantic alliance, it is absolutely you.

@westernexile @esrtweet Your terms are acceptable!

@esrtweet "And that was for you, not us" You should have stopped there, because Washington neocon propaganda is recognised precisely for what it is in Europe. Pretending any of this is your charity fools nobody across the Atlantic. Dismantle the alliance, and withdraw your troops.
