TRENDING: A New York #Jets team chef posted a behind-the-scenes video of the INSANE amount of food the staff cooks for the front office during the first round of the #NFL draft.

@TheTNHoller It is fucked JP, but can’t the SCOTUS decision also be used by Dems to do the same thing? The focus should be putting pressure on them to implement more black majority districts instead of whining about red state wins.

@NYJetsTFMedia The height of every jet fan’s season. When all of our draft picks get pumped before being dropped into Woody’s meat grinder of an organization.
He’s the only owner with an F-rating by the players for a reason. 4-13 incoming.

Cade Klubnik is SO pumped
Frank Reich is SO pumped
LOVE THIS 🔥🔥
Frank Reich tells Klubnik "you're our kind of guy" & that "everything just felt right" when they first met with him
Klubnik says to send him the #Jets playbook as soon as they can
I'm starting to feel really good about this ✈

@Connor_J_Hughes So he’ll be holding a clipboard the entire time in the league and might end up being a decent HS football coach.
Great pick.

@x26457474 @scottlincicome @CatoInstitute As usual, reading isn’t exactly a strong suit for MAGA. It’s Dec, 2024 vs Mar 2026.
Maybe they should have called that out to you in a picture book…

@scottlincicome @CatoInstitute There was only 60k illegals that tried to enter in 2024? Only 10k got through?
I've never seen such absurd lies. CATO should be destroyed.

There is a video circulating on the internet that is difficult to watch. A woman sits on a pavement in Louisville, Kentucky. She is wearing a hospital gown. It is 36 degrees outside. Her belongings, everything she apparently owns, are in a plastic bag on the concrete beside her. Behind her, through the glass doors she has just been escorted through, the hospital hums along as normal. The security guards who brought her here have already gone back inside.
She couldn’t afford her bill.
This is not a scene from a developing nation or a history book. This is the United States of America.
The country in which it happens has spent decades telling the rest of the world that it has the highest GDP on earth. Which is a bit like a restaurant proudly displaying its bill on the wall. Enormous number. Terrible meal. The lobster was frozen, the wine came from a box.
Europe, by comparison, has spent the better part of a century building something rather different. The food, for a start, is extraordinary. Not in a showy way, but in the way that a simple lunch in Lyon or a glass of wine on a terrace in Lisbon reminds you that eating is one of the genuinely good things about being alive. The wine is the wine that the rest of the world has spent generations attempting to replicate, mostly without success.
Roughly 35 percent of Europeans live with a chronic illness. In America, that number is 76 percent. The difference is not genetic. It is architectural. It is the slow accumulation of decent food, walkable cities, actual holidays, and a healthcare system that does not require you to crowdfund your own appendix.
Europeans work fewer hours. They have more purchasing power on a smaller salary once you subtract the cost of health insurance, medical debt, and the private school their child needs because the local public one has a metal detector at the entrance. They live, on average, about ten years longer. Not ten years of decline and doctor visits, but ten years of being a person in the world.
In the first quarter of 2025, the number of Americans leaving the United States doubled compared to the previous quarter.  Europe was their top destination. Not for a sabbatical or a gap year. Permanently. These are not people who failed. These are people who did the maths.
There is a man somewhere in America right now who has worked fifty-hour weeks for forty years, taken one week off when his employer permitted it, and will, statistically, be dead before he sees seventy. And there is another man, not very far away on a map but an entire civilisation removed in practice, sitting on a terrace in the afternoon sun with a glass of something cold and no particular place to be. He has had six weeks off every summer since 1987. He knows his neighbours by name.
The first man’s country has the higher GDP.
The first man’s country tops the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) index. The second man tops the Quality of Life Index (QLI). The better health. The longer life. The afternoon.
MAGA America calls that losing.
Ask anyone.

@ElBandito2015 @Knesix There won’t be a signed agreement. He’ll do exactly what every other intelligent non-cultish American knows he’ll do.. tuck tail and run without achieving any of the stated objectives while claiming victory.
And you chumps will eat it up.

@BKdogproblems @Knesix That's not a signed agreement, dumbass.

@DailyPlanetoid Lo que yo si me pregunto es, en el aluminaje anterior no quedó clavada la bandera ? No había n quedado restos de equipo? Porque eso no lo ve nadie ? No hay imágenes de eso, y eso que todos suben fotos y videos extraordinarios de la Luna. Eso me llamó la atención siempre.

@Scaramucci Mooch what’s with all the “we” sh!t? It’s him. MAGA isn’t a we, it’s whatever he wants it to be (by his own admission).
Truly frightening times for the country.
English

Let me read you the MAGA checklist. 👇🏼
We were going to release the Epstein files.
Until Trump showed up in the Epstein files. So we bombed people to distract from them.
We bombed a school in Iran with young kids in it.
We built Alligator Alcatraz — a sewage-backed penitentiary for immigrants in Florida — and laughed about it on camera.
We kidnapped children and didn't know where we were sending them.
We manipulated the markets. Repeatedly.
We accepted a $400 million jet as a bribe and kept it after leaving office.
We excoriated allies who stood with us for over a century.
Threatened to attack a NATO country. Treated Canada like an enemy.
We came after the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights of American citizens.
Every price in America went up because of the tariffs.
Then came the tax bill - if you make a million dollars or more — $7,000 benefit.
If you make $50,000 or less — we're taking $500 away from you.
But here's what's finally moving the needle: Gas prices.
It turns out the red line for MAGA is $8 a gallon going into the 250th birthday of America.
Nobody wants to grill hot dogs and explain to their kids why it costs $120 to fill the tank.
The approval ratings are going into the gutter.
And he doesn't care.
That's the part that should terrify everyone.

@MattWalshBlog It had nothing to do with the meaningless wars, two shuttle explosions and utter pointlessness of going to a rock in outer space that we’ve already been to… all DEI and our welfare state?
We’ll forget about the hundreds of billions in taxes undocumented immigrants have paid…
English

The reason we haven’t been back to the moon has nothing to do with your retarded conspiracy theories. The reason is that NASA destroyed itself with DEI while our country bankrupted itself with an out of control welfare state and mass immigration from the third world. Now we spend billions of dollars every year buying Doritos for fat people and providing health care to African immigrants. It’s really not that hard to connect the dots here. You don’t need to invent any cinematic conspiracy scenario or start babbling about how “space isn’t real” like a schizophrenic crackhead. It’s the welfare state and immigration. That’s the reason why we stopped doing most of the cool shit we used to do. The reason is the welfare state and immigration.

@WenaVoetsek @Microinteracti1 You morons have no idea…
Take a guess which country invoked it…

English

@Microinteracti1 Your arguement is flawed!
Why should the American taxpayer foot the bill for European security?
How does being in NATO benefit the ordinary American citizen?
Secondly the US could conclude bilateral security arrangements with individual European nations
English

If America Leaves NATO, the Bill Lands in Washington
“NATO wasn’t there for us. We send billions of dollars to them every year to protect them. We would have always been there for them. But based on their actions, I guess we don’t have to be, do we? Why would we be there for them if they’re not there for us?”
That argument sounds airtight. It also gets almost everything backwards.
The Industrial Logic No One Wants to Say Out Loud.
For decades, NATO membership has functioned as the world’s most effective arms sales platform. When a country joins the alliance, it buys American. F-35s, Patriot batteries, HIMARS, Javelins. It becomes structurally dependent on American spare parts, software updates, and maintenance contracts. It is the most sophisticated captive market in military history.
Poland alone devotes 4.7 percent of its GDP to defense. These are not abstract trade figures. They are jobs in Fort Worth, Orlando, and East Hartford. They are the economic foundation of entire congressional districts.
A US exit from NATO does not preserve this arrangement. It ends it.
Canada and Portugal have already signaled reservations about F-35 commitments worth up to $19 billion, citing political unpredictability in Washington. When two countries walk away from an American platform, others begin running the same calculation.
EU member states spent 343 billion euros on defense in 2024, a 19 percent rise from the year before. The political momentum behind “Buy European” is real and growing. The market will remain.
NATO gives the United States something no defense budget line can purchase: forward positioning, intelligence integration, and political legitimacy across 30 countries. These are the operating system of American global influence.Without them, the United States becomes alone.
The Indo-Pacific pivot is not wrong on its merits. But forward positioning in Europe is not a drain on Pacific readiness. It is the network that makes global power projection coherent. Cut one node and the whole system degrades.
The Quiet Withdrawal Already Underway. A formal exit has not happened. But the functional retreat is well advanced. The Trump administration has told European allies the US will no longer serve as NATO’s primary conventional defense provider after 2027. Joint force commands are being transferred to European generals. Intelligence-sharing arrangements built over decades are being quietly renegotiated.
Each move is individually defensible. Collectively, they produce the same outcome as a formal withdrawal, without the legal fight or the Senate vote.
The irony is considerable. The administration that views NATO as a bad deal for America is dismantling the mechanism that made American arms exports dominant in global defense markets. The alliance was never just a security arrangement. It was the most durable commercial advantage in the history of the defense industry.
So back to the question. Why would America be there for allies who aren’t there for America?
Because “there for us” included $343 billion in European defense spending flowing toward American suppliers. It included 30 countries hosting American bases and intelligence networks. It included the political architecture that let Washington call itself the leader of the free world and have other governments agree.
Not a subsidy to Europe. A return on investment that took 75 years to build.
The bill for dismantling it will not arrive in Brussels. It will arrive in Fort Worth.

Prospect Park turned into an outdoor mosque with the mayor in attendance.
Funny how New York, once the world's capital of everything, now hosts public prayers that would see Christians or anyone else moved on sharpish.
This is what happens when borders become suggestions and natives become an afterthought.
