They called for this years ago.

@MattPolProf This is fixable, child abuse should also be made a capital crime. No more people in jail.

Nothing screams "Im an American conservative!" more than deciding the solution to hungry kids isnt feeding them, but throwing yet more people in jail.

BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. housingnothandcuffs.org/2026/04/16/sta…

Fix everything switch flipped, Journos and NGO scum outraged

@realJeremyCarl Why choose?

I really can’t decide who I hate more here— the judge who subverted our law and sovereignty for his entire career by granting fake asylum claims, the journalist who treats him like a hero, or the Democrats, who want to pass laws to protect people like him from accountability.

@Eschatology22 I mean i despise all the others but given the sheer amount of money spent to destroy our civilization by the mainlines, i don’t see how you could answer otherwise.

What was most harmful to American Christianity in the 20th Century?

@ATRightMovies Millard Fillmore totally looks like Alec Baldwin

It's LOOK-A-LIKE's day, and a lot of movie stars are either a lot older than they're letting on or have some doppelgangers from years gone by... First, Matthew McConaughey and a Reddit user's great-great-Grandfather. 1/25

Many different kinds of people won’t like this (objectively correct take) but Hispanics becoming Protestant is a key indicator that they have assimilated into America and it is reflected in them voting for the “We Love America” party against the “We Hate America” party.

@ErikReed Well sure, it’s walking 4-6 miles a day. Not something you do unless you actually have a walking hobby.

Getting 10-15K steps in per day is actually way harder than you'd expect. You have to be intentional in order to do it. Any hacks or ways some of you do this consistently?

@_kruptos People use “white” as shorthand for Anglo-American.

There is no unified European culture just as there is no such thing as “white” culture.

Want some truth? If the Democrats get a 53 vote majority in the Senate they will pass Amnesty and laugh at the Republicans that wouldn’t pass election integrity with a 53 vote majority. (Both will be happy)

@aledeniz Are there really places in the world where kids don’t have homework every day? What is happening right now?

I know a number of British people who lived 1 to 2 years in Italy and then came back. The constant is that they have young children. Whatever they tell you, if you ask them about the Italian school system, they will eventually admit that it was, if not the main one, one of the critical items for them. Italian primary school is much harder than the British one. An awful lot of Italian parents cope with that by literally abandoning their children to their own devices. Most take a more proactive stance, so they either start tutoring their children themselves (a couple of hours a day per child starting in year 1) or pay for tutors to do it in their stead. In primary school, British kids have homework once per week. Italian kids have homework once per day, doubled over the weekend. If you visit Italian homes in the afternoon and they have children, it is pretty standard to see the kids sitting at the main table with books and notebooks spread all around, with a parent or a tutor sitting with them for the whole session. Also, the amount of books they have to carry to school every day is borderline unbelievable. You would think they are training them to carry legionary backpacks. For people accustomed to the gentle British primary schooling, the Italian system feels borderline insane. Note also that it has massively eased up: in my childhood, we had to memorise a long poem every weekend (which back then meant Sunday, as Saturday was school day). h/t @GroovySciFi

The right has refused to take power or seriously address the existential nature of our moment to argue over the interests of some foreign country The left will not make the same mistake They will crush you, devour you, and laugh at your weakness

I hate to say it… But I’m struggling to be generous after all the fraud we’ve seen. There’s so few charities I trust now. I do a deep dive on a homeless charity… oh look, my tax dollars are funding that and it’s run by a Trump-hating Leftist. A Christian charity? Oh look, they’re helping illegal aliens. An education nonprofit? Oh look, it’s getting money from Left-wing political groups to send in Democrat activists to give lectures on LGBTQ oppression. Even my TAX DOLLARS I know are being used to fund some BS non-profit that probably has me on a list somewhere as an extremist and is actively trying to cancel me. It’s hard to be generous when I’m already being generously stolen from in taxes and when even the nonprofits aren’t actually solving the problems they reportedly exist to solve.

NINETY PERCENT of jobs created since Feb 2020 have gone to foreigners. Young Americans are being forced to compete with the entire world for jobs in our own country.

@RepThomasMassie All of the above entail doing literally anything you can to stop immigration at any cost

Congressmen should work for:

The GOP but it’s just Brandon Gill and Eric Schmitt

@owenbroadcast I’d say no because a solution requires an additional creative jump beyond the problem itself. Lots of people understood the problem of short lived filaments in lightbulbs but it took Edison to come up with the answer.

got hit with an interesting philosophical question: would perfectly understanding a problem necessarily entail knowing the solution to the problem? (assuming a solution exists)

The biggest difference between Trump 1.0 and Trump 2.0 is that 45 thought he was dealing with stupidity, not evil. He thought he was dealing with incompetents and not renegades, lunatics and traitors. He honestly thought when they were presented with policies that made sense and worked, they would come to their senses and get with the program. Dealing with stupid people is playing checkers. Dealing with those who are evil and cunning requires you to play chess. Trump 1.0 was playing checkers while Democrats and the administrative state were playing chess. Trump 2.0 gets it. He is playing chess now. He has broken the decades long pattern of Republicans always mistaking evil for stupidity and then being surprised by the knife in their back.

Saying the words "white people" in front of a room of white people is WILD, I did it recently. Watch what happens around you... EXTREME discomfort. White people have been conditioned to believe that even saying the words "white people" is a slur. That to even acknowledge themselves as a group, is itself, an act of racism. Really, it's just an insane thing to realize how successful the psychological operation has been. An entire group of people have been taught to be afraid of their own name, taught that noticing themselves is a truly evil thing to do. Yet, simultaneously, taught that EVERY OTHER demographic can speak about itself like that, but if YOU say "White people" it's a slur. The operation was SO successful, it's insane.
