@JamesMaillette @MattWalshBlog Great call. Many early NA pioneers who initially colonized the continent were similar level. Cartier & Champlain in CAD 4 the French & their British + Spanish twins 2 the south . those who initially struck out West, particularly in northern US & CAD, were tough beyond belief

Christopher Columbus is the ultimate IQ test. You immediately know that someone is a retarded halfwit if they start screeching some nonsense about how Columbus was a genocidal maniac or whatever. Intelligent students of history understand that he is one of the great men of western civilization. This is an awesome move by the White House.

@MattWalshBlog Shackleton was fairly recent, and he was an incredible leader—an amazing story.

I've said before that ship captains during the age of discovery were some of the most impressive human beings to ever live. We have trouble appreciating just how unimaginably great these men were. They had to play the role of navigator, cartographer, astronomer, logistics manager, military commander, judge, police captain, diplomat, CEO, recruiter, accountant and governor, all at the same time, and all under extreme duress, out in the middle of the ocean, cut off from the rest of the world where the penalty for one wrong decision was the death of everyone on board. These are some of the most brilliant and gifted human beings the world has ever known. Nobody on Earth today can come close to matching them. They had a level of both skill and physical courage that just doesn't exist on the planet today.

@SloanInFL06 @SebGorka @joekent16jan19 When it comes to serious discussions and accusations, actual sources and posting under a real name is pretty much a necessity at this point, just too much noise on this platform.

@SebGorka @joekent16jan19 I’ll take Things That Never Happened for $500. Dr. Jill Biden Gorka… work on your security clearance problems before coming at a guy who received one. It’s no wonder Sarah Adams and Shawn Ryan think you are a poser. They are not wrong.

Just got off the phone with an operator who served in the same T1 unit @joekent16jan19 served in. Got an earful of how he has always been a sycophant who leveraged his fake-MAGA obeisance to leap from being a tactical operator and failed Congressional candidate to a being a senior IC official. He made a great point I hadn’t even thought of. By undermining the man who was actually elected by 77 million Americans to be the Commander-in-Chief and who has sole strategic insight and responsibility for the security of America, Kent has selfishly undermined the future of any veteran who actually should be trusted with such a position and understands what it means to honorably serve the Republic out of uniform. Joe Kent prioritized himself over the will of the American People. Indefensible.

This is wild. Fundamentally, her job is to do exactly as is being requested. That her best option available given the circumstances is to punt on everything is in and of itself quite telling.

Christopher Nolan refused to talk about the Joker in The Dark Knight Rises (2012) because of Heath Ledger “I don’t want to trivialize a tragedy like that.” But in the final statue scene, the Joker’s smile is right there. Best tribute ever.

The Order of Canada is absolutely unworthy of Don Cherry. If only more hockey guys like him would get out of the rinks for a bit and get their country back on track.

I cant believe how many people are burning credibility on this, just makes me sad. If anything, Kent's background and life story demands a moment for introspection and consideration that maybe, just maybe he is weighing in from a position of integriety and fundimental loyalty to his country.

There's a rule in conservative politics that a man is rarely to the right of his wife. Joe Kent lost his first wife in war and remarried a woman who now works for a far-left anti-Israel, pro-Iran website. Kent should have never been appointed to anything in the Trump admin.

A powerful scene in the Odyssey happens when Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca after twenty years of war and wandering. You would expect the story to end with celebration, with the hero coming home, the family reunited, and order restored. Homer does something far stranger. Odysseus arrives disguised as a beggar, because Athena warns him that the palace has been taken over by more than a hundred suitors who have been living there for years, eating his food, drinking his wine, and pressuring his wife Penelope to marry one of them. They believe Odysseus is dead and in their minds the kingdom is already theirs. So the king of Ithaca walks through his own halls dressed in rags while the men stealing his house sit comfortably at his tables. They mock him, throw scraps at him, and one of them even strikes him, and Odysseus takes it. That is the remarkable part, because the same man who blinded the Cyclops and survived twenty years of disasters now stands quietly while strangers insult him in his own home. Homer tells us his heart burns inside his chest and that he wants to attack them immediately, yet he restrains himself and waits. Instead of striking, Odysseus studies the room carefully. He counts the men, watches their habits, and quietly observes which servants remain loyal and which have betrayed him. The hero of the Odyssey does something most people cannot do, which is delay revenge until the moment is right. Eventually Penelope announces a contest and brings out Odysseus’ great bow, declaring that she will marry the man who can string it and shoot an arrow through twelve axe heads lined up in a row. One by one the suitors try and fail, because none of them can even bend the bow. Then the beggar asks for a turn. The suitors laugh at first, but the bow is eventually handed to him. Odysseus takes it in his hands and strings it effortlessly. Homer says the sound of the bowstring tightening rings through the hall like the note of a swallow. Then he places an arrow on the string and sends it cleanly through all twelve axe heads. In that moment the beggar disappears. Odysseus turns the bow toward the suitors and reveals who he is. What follows is one of the most brutal scenes in Greek literature. The doors are sealed and the suitors realize too late that they are trapped inside the hall. Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and two loyal servants begin killing them one by one. There is no escape, no mercy, and no negotiation. The men who spent years consuming another man’s house die inside it. It is a violent ending, but Homer wants you to understand something important. The real danger to Odysseus was never just the monsters and storms on the long journey home. It was the possibility that someone else might take his place while he was gone. When Odysseus finally returns, he reminds everyone in Ithaca of a simple truth: a man’s home is not truly his unless he is willing to fight for it.

Just got back from the gym. Was talking to some friends there... they had literally NO IDEA about the New York City bombs being a radical terrorist. Absolutely zero clue. They didn't even believe me, so I just pulled out my phone and showed them the video on my account. This has happened so many times now, it's truly incredible. The same thing happened when I called my dad and told him about Nick Shirley's Somali daycare fraud story. He had no idea and couldn't believe he hadn't heard about it at all. It's so frustrating. I remember it well though, it never feels like indoctrination because it comes from everywhere at once. CNN in the morning at the gym. Scrolling Instagram over coffee. A podcast on the commute home. They have their different tones, but they all keep arriving at the same places. The same things were important. The same people were credible. Literally ANY OTHER CONCERNS were paranoid or fringe or evidence of the kind of thinking that TRULY EDUCATED people had moved past long ago... I took this convergence, everyone, everywhere telling the same stories with the same angles... as proof. When you hear the same thing from ten different sources, your brain does something TOTALLY RATIONAL... it registers confirmation. Five witnesses describing the same event is better evidence than one. This is just how evidence works. The lie, the nefarious, sadistic like... ...is that ALLLLLLLLL your sources were never independent When I discovered this for the first time, it made me want to vomit it was so horrifying. The convergence I took as proof of truth was only proof of a shared bias. The most nefarious part of all is that the media doesn't try to convince you of an outright lie. Outright lies are often detectable. What's far more effective, what's essentially invisible until the moment it isn't, is SELECTION. The stories they choose to run. Which deaths become national tragedy and which aren't even told. Which government failures get a monster investigative series and which get 1 sentence. Which protests are worthy and which are dangerous. Which experts are credible and which are fringe. My dad, my friends at the gym don't want to dive deep into these stories, they have 5 minutes and are just trying to live a normal life… trusting that if something is TRULY important, someone will tell them. The legacy media know this. That's why they make sure you never hear the truth. Once you see that, you can't unsee it. It changes everything.
