This was a building my grandfather built in 1950. I have watched the old film of my 5 year old father driving nails helping his father. My grandfather got his start as an independent builder in the alphabet streets. He would buy a lot, build a house, sell it, rinse and repeat. This was his legacy. Now I have 6 good tenants that are homeless. Not drug tourist junkies living off your and my taxes, but actual productive members of society that any of you would be proud to call a friend. Voters passed a multibillion water bill 11 years ago but the fire hydrants ran dry. We pay the highest taxes in the country but are told the fire dept doesn't have enough personnel or funding. The house where I live in the San Fernando valley was in danger of burning again today because our elected "leaders" allow junkies to camp in the park. If you can stomach it, watch the press conferences and these same "leaders" will break their arms patting themselves on the back. I'm in tears as I write this, not for the loss of the building. It was insured and even if it wasn't, it's just a thing and my treasure is not here on earth. I'm sad that the legacy of my grandfather and so many others who built this city, state and nation has been so degraded and disrespected by the grifters and fools who rule over us. It's time to channel that anger and change direction before it's too late.

@Hotshot_Movie @jenvanlaar If not for Milker, Raman would still be winning because they would have just "found" more mail in ballots for her.

Alan Miller spent $3M+ to get 3% of the vote for LA Mayor. He obviously never had a chance, but 28,782 anti-Bass/anti-Raman people wasted their vote on him instead of the viable alternative, Pratt. If not for Miller wasting votes, Spencer would lead Raman by 5K votes right now. Miller is a smug, rich asshole who took FireAid money, bankrolled Eric Swalwell, and had the tacit support of fellow impotent, smug, rich asshole, Tricky Ricky Caruso...not only would his ego force him to stay in the hopeless race, but his political advisors undoubtedly lied to him, told him "our internals look good, Alan!"...all so he would keep cutting them checks til the bitter end. They took advantage of him being a rich doofus, and he stayed in the race, siphoning off potential Pratt voters and spoiling the election for sane people who wanted a real change. Miller voters are truly the dumbest motherfuckers in LA. Good work, guys!

@sappholives83 @WingsScotland So this bigot thinks men can't get pregnant?🤣

Man who says he wants to be treated like a woman is annoyed when it happens because people assume he’s female and it reminds him that no, he actually isn’t.

This. #Gold #Oil

@neiltyson And then the anal probing, always the probing!🤡

If I were ever abducted by Aliens, the first thing I’d ask is whether they came from a planet where people also deny science.

@mike66442 @Guysloveguns Exactly this! .223/5.56 is going to be the most available caliber in the US. I'd go 9mm for the same reason.

@Guysloveguns 5.56-45 it's the only choice in north America, mite be different in Europe

@Stellaaa @slicetweetz In this neighborhood Rays is pretty good but the crown jewel is Banh Banh Burger on Sawtelle. Thai smashburger and the best burger in LA, IMHO. Haven't seen the rocks but one of my tenants works at that library, I'll ask her what she knows.

What the Hell is going on at West LA Municipal Building? Does anyone know what’s going on here because it seems to be abandoned and those ain’t construction materials I can tell you that right now. It’s giving Antifa riot weapon vibes ngl 🎥: @slicetweetz

Leaked Mossad Docs Expose Israel Hiring Illegals to 'Slaughter White People' in Western Nations Official Mossad documents have just been released by Iranian hackers, exposing Israel's calculated plan to destroy the West through unchecked immigration and forced multiculturalism. Israel wants blood on the streets of every Western capital. They want chaos in every city. Beheadings, mob violence, pedophiles operating in plain sight. You name it. They want Western civilization torn apart.

@CallSchelly @TheCriticalDri2 20 years ago, I was at the theatre at least once a month. Now I go once ir twice a year. The product has become pure crap. I don't go until a film has the CD seal of approval.

@TheCriticalDri2 Sounds like one of those “was gonna see it but now just gonna watch drinker’s review” sort of films

So... is Disclosure Day meant to be a comedy or something? Because I was laughing my ass off during most of it.

A Frontier Airlines employee had to physically remove a bonnet scholar. The scholar paid for one dog but was caught trying to sneak a 2nd one on board. Instead of simply paying for the extra dog, her low impulse control took over and now the dogs are in the pound and she’s in jail. Retarded ass culture.

George Floyd said “I can’t breathe.” The world erupted. Politicians took the knee. Police took the knee. Corporations changed their logos. The media demanded national soul-searching. Henry Nowak said “I’ve been stabbed… I can’t breathe.” Where were the protests? Where were the headlines? Where were the politicians? Where were the police chiefs taking the knee? The establishment told us that race should never determine how much a life matters. So why does it feel like some victims receive national outrage while others are quietly forgotten? Watch the video and decide for yourself.

@ollieparrot Most people don't know the true definition of government: a monopoly on the use of force.

To assert that violence is never justified is wholly specious. The state uses violence all the time, in a myriad of ways. The use of violence in the administration of justice is what the social contract is all about. The people give up their right to settle disputes and defend themselves with the use of violence in exchange for the state undertaking to protect us and provide mechanisms for dispute resolution. By this means, it assumes the monopoly right to use violence. When the state fails to honour its side of the bargain, the social contract is voided. The state can no longer legitimately claim its monopoly right and the people are entitled to act in order to remedy the state default. This is where we are at right now. In the current situation, the people can legitimately claim that the right to use violence has reverted to them. The judicious use of violence in such circumstances is entirely justified.

Iain Dale left stunned by calm caller on LBC A composed caller named Mike told Iain Dale on LBC that Britain “will remain almost ungovernable until we have mass deportations”. The exchange was striking because the caller spoke in measured tones, clearly articulating a view held by millions of people across the country. Yet Iain struggled to process it, repeatedly falling back on “you can’t do that”. Mike highlighted the obvious disconnect: the British public have consistently voted for lower immigration, only for politicians to deliver record levels instead. “There’s a massive disconnect between the political class and the people of this country,” he said. “We never gave any consent to this and there’s certainly no mandate for the scale of immigration we’ve seen.” When Iain pushed back, saying you can’t deport people here perfectly legally, the caller was unflinching: Caller: “You mean end indefinite leave to remain?” Iain: “You can do that for future people but you can’t do that for people who have already got it. That would be outrageous.” Caller: “Yeah you can. Of course you can.” Iain: “From a fairness point of view, you can’t suddenly tell people who’ve got a perfect legal right to be here that we’re changing the rules now…” Caller: “You can, Iain.” Iain: “Well you can do that but is that really the kind of country you want to live in?” Caller: “Yes!” Iain continued to argue that you can’t “take it out on perfectly legal, law-abiding people”, clearly unable to grasp how widespread this frustration has become. The public didn’t always feel this way. Years of politicians ignoring the public on immigration have shifted attitudes dramatically. As the caller made clear, people never voted for this transformation and the consequences of fixing it now rest with those who created the problem. Well worth a listen. The gap between Westminster and the rest of the country has rarely been clearer.

The message of a protest is "we don't like this". The message of a riot is "we don't like this, and we're able to do something about it". People who unconditionally call for peace and calm, regardless of the provocation, don't fundamentally understand how politics works in the real world. They do understand that the purpose of politics is to provide an alternative to violence, but that's as far as their understanding goes. They don't think through the implications, usually because they are quite comfortable with things as they are. If politics is an alternative to violence, then politics is a proxy for violence. And that means you have to dole out power in proportion to capacity for violence. Or someone's going to figure out they can do better by flipping the table. Monarchy wasn't replaced by democracy because of fine-sounding philosophical ideals and eloquent documents declaring this or that. Democracy happened because if you added rifling to the flintlock firearm, suddenly a individual farmer with a tube was the pinnacle of military technology, and now you had to keep all the farmers with tubes happy by giving them political power. (Ancient Greek democracy had a similar relationship with the hoplite warrior.) When political systems work well, for a while, the violence they represent becomes further and further from people's minds, and those who can't effectively commit or direct violence worm their way into power, and begin to take it away from those who can. And they'll defend their position by saying that violence is unthinkable, barbaric, always bad, must be disavowed at all costs, etc. This isn't some sort of high-minded principle on their part. It simply means one of two things. Either "the status quo works for me, so I don't want you to upset it", or "I suck at violence, and I don't want to have to fight". They want young men demoralized, so that their artificial meritocracy of spreadsheets, or their non-meritocracy of patronage networks, can be protected from the natural meritocracy of conflict. This means that riots aren't actually for achieving any specific material aim. They are for reminding the comfortable that judges and bureaucrats and policemen have home addresses and families. And that violence is always on the table. A protest would only send the message that the Irish don't want to be ethnically cleansed. But the bureaucrats and judges and lawyers already know that. They just don't care. A riot reminds them that they have to care, because the Irish have a long tradition of doing something about it.

This article was written by a 26 yr old college student by the name of Alyssa Ahlgren, who's in grad school for her MBA. What a GREAT perspecitve..👍🏽 My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us! I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it. Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought. We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!! Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ?? Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity." Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in. When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided. My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress. Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country. People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism. Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism. We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

Is time speeding up? People are saying monks on Mount Athos have noticed something strange. Supposedly, they have been using the same candles for 400 years. They are specially made to last 24 hours. But now they only last 18. Can anyone confirm this?

Democrat Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, INSULTING locals and bragging about how she ignores their concerns. “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' and doing it anyway.” Democrats don't care about you. 📹stopsalinedatacenter on IG
