@JaredRyanSears Did you just insinuate that Democrats campaign on their record. That may be the craziest thing I have seen in awhile, and this is X, it's nothing but craziness on here but that takes the prize.

For anyone who is worried about the communist threat facing America, here is some important information:
No one was eating the dogs or the cats.
No country emptied it's asylums or prisons into America.
Schools were not setting up litter boxes for kids.
America did not win the war in Iran over 30 times. It lost.
Other countries didn't pay the tariffs, you did.
DOGE didn't cut $2 trillion from the budget. It cost more than the tiny amount it did cut.
There is no communist threat. Not one person who has won a primary for Congress this year is a communist.
A political party that can't run on its record because it has been such a massive failure resorts to baseless fearmongering. That's all.

@locotaquito @Arianikle I just assume that I am always talking to bots. I look at it as an argument practice for the real world.

Dismantling the Dept of Education is a great step forward. Created in 1980, it has overseen trillions in spending with little gain in outcomes.
Federal K-12 funding is 8-10% of total $2,500/pupil, yet per-pupil spending exceeds $16,500 nationally. NAEP scores in reading/math have stagnated or declined over decades despite real increases, with recent drops for 13-year-olds and lagging PISA international results.
Education is a state/local matter under the Constitution. The DOE adds bureaucracy, compliance costs, and one-size-fits-all mandates that distort priorities without boosting achievement. States handled it effectively before 1980 and can target funds better today.
Block grants or phase-outs free resources for tax relief and innovation. Competition via choice, charters, and homeschooling drives results especially for low-income students, far better than distant bureaucracy. Local control and accountability work. Time to return power to states and parents.

You have this great platform to educate people about black culture and history, and while slavery in America is a part of that it's not the only part. I mean we get it already. White men, all of us are horrible wretched things. Including the 320,000 white men in the Union that died to help end slavery. Let's never forget that.

I remember those days well. In the 80s we stood proud as Americans learning that communism was the enemy of everything we held dear. We grew up knowing our country was forged in liberty not chains. Our teachers taught us the horrors of the gulags the famines and the fallen walls so we would cherish the freedom our parents and grandparents defended with their blood.
Now they are feeding our youth the lie that communism is good. What happened to real history and real values. Instead we get participation trophies for everyone and a generation raised on entitlement instead of merit. No more winners and losers just the soft slide into mediocrity and dependence.
This is a betrayal of the American spirit. We are the land of the free because we rejected tyranny not embraced it. Time to fight back teach the truth again and restore the fire that made this the greatest nation on earth. God bless the USA.
English

Remember when being a statesman meant something bigger than padding your wallet and peddling influence?
Leaders who confronted hard truths, owned failures, and put the republic before personal brand.
Gavin Newsom, Mayor Karen Bass, and the rest of California's far-left activist class will never apologize. Never admit their role. Never take real accountability for the wreckage they've presided over.
Newsom promised to end homelessness in San Francisco. As governor he poured tens of billions into the crisis yet California became home to roughly a third of the nation's homeless, with streets turned into open-air nightmares of tents, addiction, and waste.
Housing pledges became stretch goals while construction lagged and costs exploded. Violent crime rates tower over the national average, property crimes surged, and working families voted with their U-Haul trucks heading for saner states.
Bass inherited a mess in Los Angeles and delivered more of the same: encampment sweeps and programs that cycle people through temporary fixes while the underlying chaos festers. Billions spent, headlines chased, results elusive.
This isn't leadership. It's managed decline dressed up as compassion.
These officeholders embody the opposite of what made America magnetic: a country that rewards grit, creativity, and enterprise. One that welcomes those ready to live its ideals, not import division. A place where pride in self, family, and community wasn't optional, and you stood unapologetic against those peddling hatred and resentment.
We once understood that true statesmanship defended opportunity and ordered liberty, not excused failure or centralized incompetence.
California's slide isn't fate. It's the fruit of ideology over reality. Everyday Americans see the contrast clearly. The refusal to reckon with it speaks volumes.
Time to reclaim what we built.

NYC electing Zohran Mamdani mayor at age 34 is one of the most astonishing acts of political theater in modern American history. Born in Uganda to a Columbia professor father and acclaimed filmmaker mother, he moved to the US young, earned a degree in Africana Studies, and built a pre-political resume of rapping under Mr. Cardamom, brief stints as a community organizer, and housing counseling in Queens.
A passionate activist and Democratic Socialists of America figure who served in the State Assembly, he excels at protest, hunger strikes for causes like taxi debt relief, and progressive rhetoric.
What he lacks is any meaningful executive experience managing budgets, infrastructure, public safety, or a complex economy at scale. This is not the profile of a battle-tested statesman forged in the American tradition of competence and results. It is the elevation of ideology and identity over proven leadership.
New York, the beating economic and cultural heart of the Republic, deserves leaders who embody merit, grit, and pragmatic stewardship of the greatest city ever built not experiments in activism.
Patriots understand this moment risks accelerating decline in housing, crime, business vitality, and quality of life. History will judge it harshly if the city falters under untested hands.
Thank the wisdom of the Founders and the Constitution that naturalized citizens cannot seek the Presidency, preserving one vital safeguard for the nation.
America rises through excellence, not vibes. New Yorkers chose change. Let us hope competence follows.
English

What a cheap shot. Criticize Mamdani’s policies all you want, but saying he has built nothing because he hasn’t built companies at your scale only shows how narrow your definition of value has become.
Public life, organizing, legislation, and representation count too.
Wealth does not give anyone a monopoly on contribution.
Greatness should come with humility not Lex Luthor style hubris.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
@FoxNews Mamdani has built nothing. He is a taker, never a maker.
English

They always scream “pay your fair share!”
But ask the simple question: What’s the number? What exact percentage is enough?
They never dare attach one. Because even if we all woke up tomorrow and handed it over, it would never be enough.
They’ll bleed dry everything and everyone they can. Their problems aren’t financial — they’re emotional and ideological.
Billions get dumped in? Stolen. Mismanaged. Squandered. And the problems always get worse, never better.
Don’t let their feelings march us into the socialist/communist abyss. Demand specifics.

Idea for a Citizen Swap Program – A Thought Experiment for National Renewal
America has always been a beacon because people choose her. Yet today we see deep fractures: millions of citizens who seem to despise our history, our values, our system, and our very way of life. At the same time, countless decent, hardworking people around the world look at the United States with genuine admiration and would give anything for the opportunity to live here under our Constitution, contribute productively, and raise families in freedom.
What if we took this mismatch seriously?
Proposal: A voluntary Citizen Swap Program.
Step 1: Open applications for U.S. citizens who feel fundamentally incompatible with American society. They would formally renounce citizenship and select a destination country that better aligns with their worldview.
Step 2: Simultaneously, create a fast-track pathway for vetted international applicants who demonstrate strong alignment with American founding principles: individual liberty, rule of law, self-reliance, and patriotism. Full background checks, skills assessment, ideological compatibility review, health screening, and basic English proficiency required.
Step 3: Execute structured, bilateral swaps where feasible (or one-way where logistics demand). Prioritize swaps that maintain population balance while upgrading net human capital.
This isn’t about coercion — it’s about consent and clarity. Let people vote with their feet in the most literal sense. Those who stay would do so by renewed choice, strengthening social cohesion. Those who leave would find societies more to their liking. Those who arrive would bring fresh appreciation for the miracle that is the United States.
Economically: We’d replace net consumers of government services and cultural discord with net producers and cultural reinforcers.
Politically: Reduce the endless internal sabotage.
Morally: Honor the universal human desire for self-determination.
We already have immigration processes, asylum rules, and expatriation law. This is simply an honest, large-scale matching mechanism that acknowledges reality instead of papering over it with slogans.
America doesn’t need everyone to love her — but she thrives when those who remain do. And the world has no shortage of people who would cherish the chance.
Just a hypothetical worth debating in a serious country.
What say you, America?

If a foreigner hates America, fine. But why then become a citizen here? Better yet, why would the US allow someone to become a citizen who hates the country?

JUST IN: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani used America’s 250th anniversary to sharply criticize the country, accusing the U.S. of allowing children to go hungry while billionaires and “oligarchs” gain more power. He said America’s wealth was built by working people with “calloused, dirt-streaked hands" while accusing the country of allowing the wealth built by workers to be concentrated in “the soft hands of a precious few.”

A Leftist attempted to light an American flag on fire in downtown Durham, NC on July 4th (arson is typically illegal and can pose a danger to the public).
A middle aged man came over to stop the fire from being lit by attempting to take the American flag away.
Several Leftists tried to attack him in response, and ended up getting thrown to the ground.
The man walked away without a scratch while the Leftists were whining for someone to call 911.

Oh no. Is she ok? How bad was she hurt? I assume you're saying all that because she was assaulted or harmed. Did anyone even say anything to this girl. The answer, I'm sure is no. She is fine. I'm sure I could go to NYC and take a picture of a white girl surrounded by black people. Do I get a prize. The reality of this photo is that it's nothing it's just a person on a train. Now I don't know those people on that train and don't know who they are or what they are doing. I do know that the average white people in America are just plain tired of being the villain in your stories. Take a break.

This photograph today deserves a Pulitzer Prize.
A black girl sits in the middle of dozens of white supremacist patriot front members in Washington DC on the Fourth of July.
This is so representative of the country. We’re living in under Donald Trump right now. I want my country back.

Trump has done something profound: He’s forced the mask off.
He didn’t create the extremism on the left, he simply brought it to the surface where all could see. The hate was always there, bubbling beneath the slogans of tolerance and inclusion. Trump made it impossible to ignore.
What we’ve witnessed is a great revealing of character. Those who lectured us for years about compassion, dialogue, and “love trumps hate” have embraced censorship, lawfare, and open contempt for half the country, the builders, the servers, the voters who simply want secure borders, fair rules, and a functioning republic.
Their tolerance was conditional. Their inclusion had asterisks. The “resistance” wasn’t just to one man, but to the constitutional system that lets Americans choose him.
This unmasking is painful but necessary. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Americans now see the stakes clearly, not just for one election, but for the soul of the republic. The American idea endures because truth surfaces and free people can still defend it.
The mask is off. Now we decide what kind of nation we will be.
