@mrnubuck2024 @VigilantFox When they are learned, they think they are wise.

@VigilantFox Strangely enough arrogance is the byproduct of education. The more "educated" someone is the more they are confident, often in their own ignorance.

JD Vance names the trait he says is at the root of what's wrong with American elites. MIKE ROWE: "Curiosity or humility? The greater virtue." VANCE: "Humility. "I think that it's extremely important not to assume you know more than other people." VANCE: "So many of the problems that I see, especially among American elites, comes from a certain arrogance. An arrogance that I know better than somebody else. I know how to do this better than you do. I know what's better for your life than you do. That arrogance is the source of a lot of what's wrong. "I love curious people, curiosity is very important. But how can you be genuinely curious if you're not humble?" Hard to argue with that.

@prefertorope @nicoraytruth “Disagree better” is in and of itself a disgraceful way of shutting down any opposing viewpoint. It’s the equivalent of telling someone e to sit down and shut up, because you don’t have an actual argument against their reasoning.

@nicoraytruth Dude. Chill out. You can say that communism is not consistent with gospel principles and make an argument. Please don't throw stuff around like "evil" and "darkness." That is not gentleness, persuasion, or love unfeigned. Feel me? We need to disagree better.

Communism is not economics. It is evil. It is darkness. It is millions of corpses. One hundred million in a single century. Twenty million under Stalin. Forty five million starved in Mao’s Great Leap Forward. A quarter of Cambodia butchered by the Khmer Rouge. The gulags. The killing fields. The mass graves of Ukraine, dug by the very state that promised the workers paradise. It is being brutally murdered by totalitarianism. Every single time. There is no version of this ideology that has held power without burning churches, shooting priests, starving farmers, and teaching children to inform on their own parents. That is not a bug. That is the doctrine. The state becomes god, and everything you love, your family, your faith, your conscience, becomes an obstacle to be liquidated. So spare me “the temple recommend questions aren’t about economics.” Communism is not an economic opinion. It is an anti religion with a body count. A man who embraces the communist creed that filled those graves is not disagreeing with you about tax policy. He is carrying the seed of the thing that wants your church demolished and your children re educated.

@viking_boer Yay 🙌 Welcome to America!!! 🇺🇸 I am 15 generation South African on my mother’s side, so I’m sure you are my cuz. Welcome, boet!!! My Johannesburg cousins visited in 2005, had just survived a home invasion that almost killed my aunt. They were also carjacked. You speak truth.

@ejock @HighWireTalk And who is “we”?

"There's a reason that people have an issue with vaccines. Not because they just woke up one day and decided they just wanted for fun to take a position that might get them called an antivaxer, a quack, anti-science, get their kids out of school, get them thrown out of their jobs, have them turned against their social circles, have their kids excluded from playdates. Who does that? When you abandon those people who trusted the system, that's what breeds distrust. I agree. We need to get vaccines out of politics. It should be purely medical. And the only way to do that — end mandates. By mandating a vaccine, you make it political. By using the argument that a vaccine is safe and effective to take away somebody's civil individual rights, you made the safety and efficacy of that product a legal and a political issue. And chronic disease, you want to do that, you got to address vaccines. That's the truth. Because if you look at the weight of the current available data, the weight of that science reflects that you better address vaccines if you're going to truly achieve the objectives that MAHA has. Mandates are the tool of bullies, criminals, and dictators. If a patient refuses a medical product after being conveyed its benefits and risks, then that is called informed consent. They were informed and did not consent. Mandating over this objection is immoral and illiberal." -- @AaronSiriSG

@overton_news “Democrat Tea Party” is of course a ridiculous assertion. As if it were an organically generated representation of the will of Americans 🇺🇸

@overton_news The difference is the conservative Tea Party movement wasn’t funded by corruption and theft from the people of the U.S. The “Democrat” Tea Party will be a tsunami for two reasons: first, it is very well funded, and second, there is nothing standing against it.

WHOA: There is now an 82% chance that 6 or MORE House Democrats LOSE their primary this year...which would be the largest number in over 50 years. CNN is now calling the Democrat Party’s socialist takeover a “new Tea Party.” CNN: “It could get even worse! In fact, it’s likely to get even worse.” “So if you look at the Kalshi prediction market and the chance that 6 House Democrats go down to defeat, lose their primary in 2026, this number has consistently, over the last week or so, been hovering 80 - 90%.” “And when we talk about history books, right, if in fact 6 House Democrats went down to defeat in 2026, it would be by FAR the largest number. It would be the largest number in a post-redistricting cycle for Democrats in, get this, over 50 years!” “That’s why I got this picture of the Tea Party on your screen right now, because you know what? It’s 250, but also, it’s a new Tea Party for Democrats.” This is a paradigm shift in politics.

@SenseReceptor My nephew from Australia was in the U.S. on a temporary visa. Australia would not allow him to return. For months, he was stuck here, waiting in line to be allowed to return to his own country. When he was finally able to fly home, he was placed in mandatory quarantine.

🚨Holy shit! They actually began to roll out "quarantine camps" surrounded by barbed wire fencing in the U.S. for the "unvaccinated" in 2021 Dr. James Miller: "they had... the quarantine camps... in Washington, where they took public places, put barbed wire around them, and were quarantining the unvaccinated 'homeless'" Miller, a trauma surgeon who worked at the WA hospital that got the first "covid" case, describes how medical "leaders"—with the "moral flexibility" of "assassins"—were working to implement various types of tyrannical laws in the name of Covid, including a requirement to be Covid-jabbed just to drive. "The head of infectious disease at our hospital was working with the governor to get people's driver's licenses taken away who didn't have a Covid vaccine. He was on the news all the time" Miller says the hospital leaders had the "moral profile of an assassin" and that one of them "knew fully well that [these Covid laws were] going to foment societal unrest" This clip of Miller (@JamesMillerMD) is taken from a conversation with Alix Mayer (@alixm) posted to YouTube on July 8, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "The head of infectious disease at our hospital was working with the governor to get people's driver's license taken away who didn't have a Covid vaccine. He was on the news all the time. "He stopped me in the hallways, Got great news. His name's George. He was all over CNN at the time. Of course, he was talking to the newspapers. He was talking to the newspapers, he was talking to the media. He was highlighted everywhere. "He's a horrible doctor, by the way. He was like one of the worst diagnosticians on the planet. If you are ever dealing with the contentious case about infectious disease, whatever he said, you knew that wasn't it. But regardless, he was promoted to the head of infectious disease that was the era. "[He got his position because] you get someone who's morally flexible. And my hospital was picked because in leadership, we had moral flexibility. We had a— We had a hedge on the market. And that's why I think our hospital rolled out the first Covid case diagnosis. "They'll do anything you want. Yeah, I mean, it's not like morality isn't a thing. Calling them unethical would imply they knew ethics. They're— They're anything. I mean, it's like— It's the moral profile of an assassin. It's a moral profile of, they just— They're ambivalent. It's not that they're anti-ethical. It's just. That's not the question. "[Regarding Covid jabs being necessary to get a driver's license] he was working with the governor. I think they wanted to [introduce a bill to make it mandatory]. "I mean, they had instituted the quarantine camps. I don't know if you had those in California, but they had them in Washington where they took public places, put barbed wire around them, and were quarantining the unvaccinated 'homeless.' "They had a separate line item budget. You can look this up for the strike force to police it, but there was a little too much outrage that one didn't fly. Nor did take away people's driver's license for being unvaccinated. But they were trying. "[This discussion with George the doctor] was an elevator conversation. George talked to me about it, and I was like, and I said unkind things to him about it, and I said George, you are going to create a civil war. And he looked at me with these like, psycho eyes, like— and so these are our leaders. "He knew fully well that that was going to foment societal unrest, and he was all in and working with the governor, so those were our leaders."

@kimmie_c_ Yes 🙌

Ok. So it's decided, America. Now we're cheering for Norway 🇳🇴 & the funny, giant Viking, yes?

@jdalby58 @overton_news That would save the U.S. a lot of money and effort.

@overton_news I strongly believe that the 31 other NATO nations should tell Trump that if he really feels this way about them, there is no need for him to be at the summit. Ask him to leave and continue the meeting in the format of 31.

President Trump just unloaded on America’s European NATO allies with the world’s media watching. Sitting beside Turkish President Erdoğan, Trump revealed he was “very disappointed” after several NATO allies refused to assist the U.S. during the Iran conflict. Then he dropped the bombshell: He says it was a test to see who would actually stand with America when it mattered. TRUMP: “I was very disappointed with NATO and frankly if it weren’t held in Turkey, where my friend happens to be a very strong leader, a very strong person, it’s possible that I wouldn’t have attended.” “I felt I had to attend because of the fact that he’s gone all out, it was a big thing to have NATO come to Turkey or any place else.” “But we weren’t treated well, because we did something in Iran, we don’t need anybody’s help, I did not even want their help but before I asked, they said they wouldn’t be there.” “We’ve invested trillions of dollars in NATO. Why?” “To protect European countries and others, Canada, et cetera but to protect people, countries from generally speaking, used to be Soviet Union and now it’s Russia.” “And I say that is fine, but you would think they would be willing to do something to help us and they really weren’t.” “In the case of United Kingdom, the prime minister, I guess no longer there…maybe because of this…it was very unpopular thing he did.” “He said, no, we’ll help after the war is over. I said, I don’t need that kind of help.” “In a way I was testing people, I was testing to see whether or not they’d be there because I’ve long said that we help them, but I’m not sure that they’d be there for us.” “Italy turned us down, and Germany turned us down, France turned us down and that’s okay. But why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars and they’re not there for us?”

@CaptainWNC88 @EagleEdMartin And yet we may have hope for the future as one nation under God, still.

@EagleEdMartin We have never been more divided, dysfunctional, or poorly served by government (that includes you, Emu) since the Civil War era

Welcome to the Golden Age!

@RogerWoodall7 @TRUMP_ARMY_ Maybe just scroll on

@TRUMP_ARMY_ He’s getting so boring with his crowd getting smaller every time he speaks. He knows this as he continues to heap praise on himself by making up non existing “ achievements “

MUST WATCH: ONE OF THE BEST PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SPEECHES OF ALL TIME!! "In America, the people govern, the people rule, and the people are sovereign. I was elected not to take power, but to give power to the American people where it belongs."

@brivael “God bless America” is not a slogan, not a statement or wishful fantasy. It is a plea for help to guide us through this world of oppression. We the people of every nation are not the oppressors, but rather we are the targets. God help us, and God bless this broken world 🌎 😢💪

Lettre à l'Amérique, d'un Français qui a vu la fin du film. Vous vous croyez encore le dernier pays libre. Vous l'êtes pour l'instant. Je vous écris depuis un pays qui l'était aussi, et qui a signé sa reddition sans qu'un seul coup de feu ne soit tiré. En France, l'État capte et redistribue 57% de tout ce que la nation produit. Cinquante-sept pour cent. Arrêtez-vous sur ce chiffre. Pour chaque unité de valeur créée par un ingénieur, un ouvrier, un fondateur qui a risqué sa peau, plus de la moitié transite par une main qui n'a rien bâti. Ce n'est pas une ligne budgétaire. C'est une hypothèque permanente sur l'existence des gens. Et voici ce que personne ne vous avouera : ça n'arrive jamais par la révolution. Personne ne vote pour le déclin. On vote pour la compassion, pour la sécurité, pour la justice, pour la planète. À chaque étape, on troque un morceau de liberté contre une promesse. Et les promesses sont toujours belles. C'est ça, le piège. Le collectivisme d'aujourd'hui n'agite plus le drapeau rouge il a compris que ça ne se vend plus. Il a appris à parler la langue du soin. ESG, gouvernance, conformité, « responsabilité » : ce sont les mots nouveaux d'une très vieille idée. L'idée qu'une élite éclairée sait mieux que vous ce qui est bon pour vous, et qu'il faut donc lui transférer, ligne après ligne, le pouvoir de décider à votre place. Ce n'est pas un complot. C'est pire : c'est un consensus. Personne ne se cache. Tout se fait à visage découvert, applaudi, subventionné. Hayek l'avait écrit il y a quatre-vingts ans : la route de la servitude est pavée de bonnes intentions et de planification centralisée. La France a marché sur cette route en souriant. On a nationalisé le risque, socialisé l'échec, taxé l'audace, et administré tout le reste. Résultat : un pays magnifique qui ne construit plus rien, qui gère sa décrépitude avec une élégance funèbre, et où le jeune le plus doué rêve d'une seule chose partir. Beaucoup atterrissent chez vous. L'Amérique a encore ce que nous avons perdu : le réflexe de bâtir plutôt que d'administrer. Le fondateur y est un héros, pas un suspect. La réussite y est une preuve, pas une faute à expier. C'est votre trésor. Et un trésor, ça se perd sans qu'on s'en aperçoive un formulaire, une agence, une « bonne cause » à la fois. Alors ne cherchez pas d'ennemis cachés. C'est inutile et c'est indigne de vous. Regardez plutôt le chiffre. Regardez la France. Chaque point de PIB que vous laissez glisser vers l'État est un point de liberté qui ne revient jamais. La liberté ne meurt pas assassinée. Elle meurt anesthésiée, sous les applaudissements. Ne signez pas. Construisez.

@Not_the_Bee The same thing happened in Utah. It’s a symbol of conquest.

Poll: Only 30% of Minnesotans like their new state flag. 50% hate it. notthebee.com/tb3a3

@frontierism I listened to every word of that hearing. His response electrified the room. There was no doubt of his sincerity and the conviction of his words. He was confirmed and I’ve believed in him ever since. I had the privilege of meeting him many years later. I was even more impressed.

“I would rather die than withdraw.” In 1991, after H.W. Bush nominated Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court, a woman claimed that Thomas sexually harassed her as her supervisor at two separate jobs. She was questioned on why she followed Thomas to the second job, after allegedly being harassed at the first. At the hearing, led by Senate Judiciary Committee chair Joe Biden, Thomas vehemently and completely denied the allegations. He pointed to white liberals attempting to block a black conservative from taking a Supreme Court for having the wrong opinions, calling it a “high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you.” The Senate confirmed Thomas to the Supreme Court by a vote of 52-48. He’s faced the mob before, and he ascended in spite of it. We merely adopted the dark. He was born in it, molded by it. Clarence Thomas is the GOAT and the blueprint.

@mcsharar @japan_nobunaga Yes 🙌 I have 20 grandchildren, with 3 more in the oven, lol. I would gladly buy your book for each child. They would enjoy your tales immensely, and learn honor and virtue as well.

@japan_nobunaga This is wonderful! This could make a great Childrens storybook 📕

The boy, Mason, age six, came across the lawn toward me carrying two swords of foam, one blue and one red, and issued a challenge no man of honor could refuse. "I bet I can beat you. I'm the best at swords." The best at swords. He said this to me, a man who has drawn real steel, who carries the techniques of a hundred fallen masters in his hands. And my heart filled, because it is a rare and sacred thing to be challenged by a warrior of such pure confidence. He tossed me the blue sword. I tested its weight. It bent completely in half and let out a soft squeak. A fearsome weapon. I had underestimated the smiths of this country. We bowed. I bowed lower, because he was the challenger, and the challenger honors the one he challenges. But the one challenged honors the brave. "Three, two, one, GO." He came at me with no stance, no guard, no form. Only pure screaming courage, swinging the red sword in both hands while making the sound of an explosion with his mouth. I have faced many opponents. I have never faced one so completely without fear. I could have ended it in a single motion. I did not. To defeat such a heart quickly is to insult it. So I parried. I gave ground. I let our blades sing across the whole length of the garden, though in truth they squeaked, and I fought as if my life and the fate of entire provinces hung on the result, because to my opponent, they did. He struck me in the knee. I fell. I did not have to fall. Hear me clearly. A blow from a folded tube of foam does not bring down a samurai. But a samurai knows the moment a duel has found its rightful winner. So I went down onto the grass the way a great oak goes down. Slowly. With honor. Beaten at last by the better warrior. "I WIN. I'M THE CHAMPION." He is the champion. I have never in all my years signed a surrender so gladly. We have dueled forty times. I have lost forty times. I will lose forty thousand more. My defeats are not a gift handed down to a child. Do not mistake me on this. They are tribute, earned and owed, to the most fearless swordsman I have ever had the honor to face. When he is grown and tells the story of the summer he defeated a samurai, let no one laugh. It is true. He defeated me. I would let him defeat me with my final breath. On my honor, the boy is simply the better blade.

@japan_nobunaga @janvbear 😂😂😂

@janvbear That is high praise indeed. Then I must continue my campaign across America... one honorable defeat at a time. 🏯

@Handre Lack of education. We only know what we know, and are highly discouraged & distracted, from questioning “the experts”. From the classroom to the workplace to the doctor’s office, we are told what to think and how to behave. But it’s very much “rules for thee, but not for me.”

Darth Vader chokes his officers from across the room. The Empire builds a planet-killing weapon to force compliance. Every storyteller in history understood the same thing: the villain is the one who points the gun. You root for the rebel, the smuggler, the man who refuses the king's tax. You always have. So explain why the modern left loves coercion. The same people who cried during Braveheart, who cheered when Katniss raised three fingers against the Capitol, who hung posters of the lone man facing tanks in Tiananmen Square in 1989, now demand that the state seize half your paycheck, dictate which words you may say, and lock you in your home for eighteen months because a bureaucrat in a press conference said so. They saw coercion on the screen and hated it. They live coercion in policy and love it. I think the trick lies in the costume. Coercion never announces itself with a black helmet and ominous breathing. It arrives wearing the language of compassion. "Universal healthcare" means men with badges extract your earnings to fund a system you cannot opt out of. "Wealth tax" means the government claims a portion of property you already paid taxes to acquire. "Forgiving student debt" means a plumber in Ohio who never set foot in a lecture hall pays for a sociology degree in Brooklyn. Strip the adjectives and you find the same thing every time: someone with a weapon making you comply. Ludwig von Mises spelled it out in 1944. Government is the negation of liberty. It is, at root, the apparatus of compulsion and coercion. Every program, every mandate, every subsidy rests on that single fact. Keep your own money and watch what happens if you refuse to pay. The fines come first, then the court summons, then the men who carry guns for a living. There is no gentle version. The left has not abandoned its hatred of villains, it has simply learned to write itself into the hero's role while doing exactly what the villain does. You were taught to spot the man pointing the gun, they are telling you to thank him.

@cb_doge Happy birthday Elon!! 🥳🎉🎊

Elon Musk spent his 18th birthday while working on his cousin's farm 🤠
