Insane. Barely even made national news: an underwater IED was discovered at a reservoir dam in Alabama. No word yet about suspects.

Key to winning: Choose to be positive and grateful. Then, just keep at it. Time is the great compounder and will do the rest. So many people just don’t have the discipline to stay positive and grateful. Then time compounds the bitterness instead.

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago: “If it’s endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining.”

I saw a quote that said "to procrastinate is to willingly endure the discomfort of anticipation, rather than the discomfort of action. Both are burdens, but only one leads to progress" and if that didn't light a fire in me.

I hate that being cognitively masculine and principled is just seen as autism. For example this is what I do in my personal life: As an employer: it’s my job to maintain quality control. Thus, I will hold you to standards and if you cannot uphold them I’m going to fire them. I will state your duties upfront and then not expect you to do anything besides them. We’re going to try to do things in a timely and organized manner even if we don’t reach that perfectly. In dating: You need to treat me with respect and empathy while actually listening to the things I say. Otherwise I’m kicking you out immediately. Understood? In intellectual work: I refuse to say or produce things that I cannot put a confidence of certainty on or that I don’t have a sense that I genuinely understand. Otherwise I will state my lack of certainty. I will also show you my mental leg work so you can reverse engineer how I reached that conclusion. In personal life: I will state my boundaries and intentions up front so when we talk there won’t be any undercurrents we have to worry about later. In morality: I live my life according to a code of values. If soemthing violates that code I won’t do it. Habits: I do certain rituals when I wake up, go to bed, start or finish work, or when I move to a different place. These exist to center me and provide mental frame. Cultural consumption: I maintain standards for the music, books, food, movies or people I deal with. If something is beneath those standards I will abstain even if I’m hungry or bored The reaction a lot of people have to this is “autism” but from my perspective this is just being virtuous and organized. It’s not rigid because these things allow frame for more chaos or disorder. I thought this is jsut how white people are. Don’t we follow abstract moral codes and then apply them to life? Am I just supposed to live in discord and chaos all the time? Why would I do that? I was taught that issues should be faced head on early rather than avoided. That concept is alien to many though. Isn’t the whole point of liberalism that you get to arrange your own order in your private life. Otherwise it’s just anarchy. These rules are unilateral goods that make life easier, not repression. Saying otherwise is dumb

🚨 WOW! SPENCER PRATT with the PERFECT response "You're a Republican in a deep blue city...the odds are stacked against you." PRATT: "It's just the socialists and the communists that don't back me!" "My supporters in LA are Democrats. Everyone I know, my family, are all Democrats. I grew up in LA!" "Everybody that texted me last night, amazing, congratulations, are all Democrats. So what people are confused on, the Democrats all are behind me." "I'm confident I'm probably going to win with 51% on June 2nd because I don't do a political message. I don't do national politics." "I don't do tribal politics. I don't talk about other states. I'm localized." "I just want to fix our streets, get the lights on. I want people to feel safe. I want to get our tax money to not be robbed by these literal criminal NGOs stealing from our tax to increase the homelessness!" "So my message isn't political. It's common sense. So I have Democrats love me. Republicans love me. Independents love me. Libertarians love me. Constitutionalists love me. It's just socialists and communists." @spencerpratt VOTE FOR THE GOLDEN AGE OF LA = Spencer Pratt

Most people aren't paying attention anymore, but Venezuela has worked out. 1) More political prisoners released than ever before 2) Delcy is purging Maduro loyalists 3) Supporters of Machado can now organize 4) More oil flowing Trump did a heroic thing by removing Maduro.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

Funniest part about the JPM sex slave hoax is the sex-crazed woman asking an Indian guy if he played college basketball

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired. The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass. A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed. Everything else was improvised. I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76. What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation. I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one. She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure. The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet. The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent. That's priority. The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago. A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced. That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details. I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column. I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously. 188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken. A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

It’s so funny because this is exactly what Dems said would happen to conservatives: they’d become radicalized by the internet and act out violently. They used that fear to justify the Censorship Industrial Complex. Turns out it was libs who were having their brains 🧠 boiled.

So the wannabe shooter’s manifesto was just a list of media lies - >Russia hoax >blown up drug boats were fishermen >Trump is convicted rapist > Trump is pedo >Ice raped migrants >ice starved migrants to death He basically wrote “CNN made me do this”

If you spend your days openly wishing that someone takes Trump out and then immediately claim “It’s staged” after it appears that someone may have tried to do it, you are broken and also a retard.

@hmmmmmrva @mkhammer Computer, please beam some common sense into this poor retards lost mind. Computer, then grant him everlasting happiness and satisfaction in life.

@mkhammer If he could “demonstrate” why the ballroom is needed, yes. The press already doesn’t hold him to account. Also, why has he not participated in his “dream scenario” every other time he had the opportunity? Why this time?

You idiots who think Trump is staging assassination attempts. You think he would agree to a plan wherein someone STOPS HIM FROM TROLLING A CAPTIVE ROOM OF THOUSANDS OF JOURNALISTS FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF? This is his dream scenario.

“You missed. Again.”

After tonight's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, Democrats will now spend the next two hours calling for everyone to turn down the temperature on the rhetoric. Tomorrow morning (if they actually wait that long this time), Democrats will go right back to inciting violence against the President. Also, it probably won't be long before we hear the grifters start to claim that whatever happened tonight was staged.

Tesla started Cybercab production 18 months after this article lol
