@shipwreckedcrew Desantis is 47

GOP has had 1 nominee under 45 since WW2 - Thomas Dewey was 42.

@KenLaCorte It’s not that complicated like most of Latin America there is only a small percentage of what in America we identify as “middle class”. 10% of the population own 90% of the wealth. Status Quo works well for those in power so they hold on to it afraid of change.

Why is Latin America so poor? You can drive from one of America's wealthiest cities into a neighborhood of dirt roads and open sewers in about 20 minutes — separated by nothing but a border fence. It's not because of geography or genetics. Here's what I learned ... Video Chapters: 0:00 - Intro 1:37 - Legacy of Colonization 8:10 - Independence Without Order 13:42 - The Rule of Law

Using victimhood and virtue signaling to push bad ideas will eventually hurt society as a whole.

@TheShadowIntelX Thomas Edison didn’t have the internet, never went to college, and only had about three months of schooling. What allows you to educate yourself is the thirst for knowledge the Internet just makes it easier

Elon Musk just put the entire university system on trial. Not the curriculum. Not the professors. The premise. Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.” For a thousand years, universities held one monopoly. Access. You paid the toll or you stayed ignorant. The internet erased that in a decade. Every lecture. Every framework. Every textbook. Free. From any screen on Earth. The six-figure tuition is no longer buying knowledge. It is buying a signal. Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.” That is the product. Not intelligence. Not creativity. Not vision. Compliance. You are paying $200,000 to prove you can tolerate bureaucracy on a schedule. Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.” The entire system is a sorting machine for corporate HR. It does not measure what you can build. It measures whether you can sit still, follow directions, and deliver on command. Four years of obedience dressed as education. Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.” The system optimizes for average. It rewards the compliant. It certifies the patient. It quietly filters out everyone who refuses to wait for permission. The ones who reshaped the modern world never finished the test. Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.” They did not drop out because it was too hard. They dropped out because the speed limit was too low. The most dangerous thing a university does is convince a generational talent that finishing the syllabus is the achievement. It is not. It is the floor. A degree is a receipt for compliance. The future has never belonged to people who finish their homework. It belongs to the on

@ElmarByl @Jason_R_Burt Wrong - M2 is a browning .50 cal and if you were referencing a Carbine or a SMG you would say so

@2ndBCD @Jason_R_Burt Designated in US service as the Submachine Gun, Cal. .45, M1 I wasn't being pedantic, I was making the joke that pretty much everything was an M1. M1 carbine M1 SMG M1 rifle M1 browning .50 cal Somewhere there is probably M1 toothpaste.

If you can place this photograph, you’re my kind of people. 😎

@HammerdBracelet @Jason_R_Burt M-1 was a vastly superior weapon to a Thompson, in every way except for spraying bullets inaccurately.

@2ndBCD @Jason_R_Burt Close quarter firing positions doesn't allow swinging a long rifle. Clearing rooms with 20/30 round mag submachine gun is preferred over an 8 round clip long gun. He looks like a Paratrooper or a Ranger with the jump boots, Thompson, 1911, binoculars and knife at the ankle.

@ElmarByl @Jason_R_Burt That’s a Thompson

@2ndBCD @Jason_R_Burt That IS an M1.

@robm321 @Jason_R_Burt They didn’t clear houses in WWII they destroyed them

@2ndBCD @Jason_R_Burt Close quarters, he's glad he has a Thompson.

@robm321 @Jason_R_Burt In WWII other than maybe a Tanker no one wanted a Thompson over an M1 - it was an inferior weapon

@2ndBCD @Jason_R_Burt 50 meters is not close quarters.

@49ers_dude @Jason_R_Burt M-1 is way more accurate and the 30 caliber round has a lot more thump to it. No one wanted in WWIi other than a Tanker wanted a Thompson

@2ndBCD @Jason_R_Burt Why do you think he wishes to has an m1 over a Thompson? Looks like he is in a city. Close range combat.

@KurtSchlichter Rock n Roll HOF ? Grand Funk, Foghat and Jethro Tull aren’t in the HOF how the does the frickin Monkies get in the HOF 😂

I want to defend to the death idea that the Monkees are an incredible band and totally underrated and should be part of the rock ‘n roll Hall of Fame

@JaredDHardin It depends on what you want right - warm clear water and soft sand you can walk barefoot in Florida, stunningly beautiful vistas, sunny 72 every day with nice waves it’s California

Florida gulf beaches > California beaches Not even close

🚨 Innocent 29-year-old chased down and stabbed to death in broad daylight for clout Teen gang members (Stokey16) got a text: “notch your blade or get kicked out.” Random target. Joshua even paused mid-escape to check on a little girl he bumped into on roller skates — before they caught and killed him. Pure evil!
