@WarClandestine True that. Trump has so boldly and in their faces called them cheaters, that you'd think they'd be red in the face screaming that it's a lie. But no. And remember, the Dems excel at phony outrage. If ever there was a time for that performance, it would be now. Weird, isn't it?

Trump and the GOP openly talk about the Dems cheating in elections, and the Dems barely even deny it. If they were innocent, shouldn’t they be loudly screaming that these allegations are false? Instead, they are opting to not bring more attention to it, because they are guilty.

@RonSwanonson Spot on. Gold's single biggest drawback is its physicality: Transport. Storage. Divisibility. Confiscation and theft. Verification. Problems solved by Bitcoin.

I always cringe when people try to discredit Bitcoin for not being “physical” Bitcoin not being physical is one of its most important traits The entire premise of Bitcoin is that it requires real work from from the physical world to create, but then doesn’t carry the burden of being physical Physical asset settlement at scale will ALWAYS be ripe for manipulate Bitcoin is the first asset that solves physical settlement vulnerability and maintains absolute scarcity This is also why tokenizing physical assets is mostly a fool’s errand

@rabbriansamuel I've heard it's happening especially in Iran. People are being directed to seek out certain individuals who can lead them to Christ. The Iranian church happens to be the fastest growing in the world right now. PTL.

I'm being told that Muslims are coming to Jesus in large numbers, and that He is revealing Himself in dreams and visions. I pray this is so. Does anyone know if this is true?

@WarClandestine Here's what I think will happen: they pass the save act, the Dems lose in a landslide, and the MSM and the left REFUSE to admit. They say the landslide is due to voter disenfranchisement, and everyone on the left believes it. No one is converted, and discourse is even more toxic.

A timeline is forming: -Trump implements voter-ID -Dems lose 2026 in landslide -Huge drop in Dem turnout (illegals) -Dem fraud confirmed for all to see Once the public see the Dems are cheating in elections, accountability will be substantially easier for the public to swallow. Once we prove to the public that the Dems are using illegals to cheat in elections, then all the sudden, the rest of their crimes seem much more believable. That means the Dems did leave the border open on purpose to import voters, which means the Dems actually are guilty of treason, meaning Trump was right about EVERYTHING. It will prove that the Dems are indeed corrupt, it will discredit anything the Dems have ever said, they will have zero credibility left, the public will no longer be able to deny it, and much of the public will be demanding heads to roll, rightfully so. The 2026 election is shaping up to be the watershed moment in the information war. If we pull this off, the veil that hovers over the brainwashed public will be lifted, and justice for the corrupt establishment becomes achievable. Arresting people is the easy part. Convincing the brainwashed masses to accept high-profile arrests of people they have been conditioned to trust, and getting them to accept the harsh reality that they have been deceived… that’s the hard part.

@Milajoy Yes. It looked very much like a worldwide full-court press to unseat him. After Russiagate, two impeachments, and the Mueller report, followed very closely by COVID...if anyone thinks it was organic or a coincidence, I've got a bridge to sell

I believe COVID was released ON PURPOSE to stop Trump. What do you believe?

@ALX23uz @pureMetatron Good points. I wasn't thinking of Marx's theories so much as their realization under the Soviets. That's not to say Marx was not an evil man, but I suspect the Frankenstein monster his thoughts birthed may have exceeded even his expectations.

@DavidSm9054342 @pureMetatron 1. It was made to justify why Karl Marx was such a lazy loser. It's important to be factual on evidence. 2. It seems people have a hard time distinguishing between a priori and a posteriori arguments.

Communism the most evil ideology ever created by mankind. Agree or change my mind.

@Simon_Ingari I'm 76, so maybe my life experience qualifies me to have an opinion 😉 I always treated good jobs as windfalls, not as my due. I would do my best, enjoy the work if possible, and save as much as I could. When it came time to change, I would leave with no regrets.

One thing I was unprepared for in the professional world was how they do layoffs. There was this one guy who had worked at the company for 10 years. He had moved closer to the office to cut down his commute. He had never talked bad about the company, and you could tell that this company was his life. One day, he gets a call from his boss, who he had worked with for 10 years, and he joins a Zoom. Immediately, HR joins the call, and he knows what's going down. After that call, laid off. He goes back to his desk, picks up all his stuff, doesn't even say anything to anyone, doesn't say bye. I don't blame him, though. He's probably in so much shock. Gathers all his stuff, walks out the door. Just like that — 10 years, and gone. That's how layoffs happen. And the craziest part was no one around me looked surprised because it is so normalized. It's just another day in corporate life. And even the people who had known this guy for about 4–5 years weren't surprised. If you ever think a company cares about you, just know they don't. They're going to do what's in their best interest, and so should you.

@realtalkstruth I still do.

Would you still post on X if you got zero likes on all your posts?🥸

@ALX23uz @pureMetatron After reading the Gulag Archipelago, I would debate your assertion that the evil of communism is not foundational. I could not avoid the conclusion that the whole purpose of that system was to completely invert the moral and the good.

Pretty sure ancient Aztecs were worse. Also, in communism, evil is an emergent property rather than a foundational one, which makes it tricky to rank. Suppose what makes it evil is how deluded it is about reality and humans, and trying to bring forth something this detached can only result in tragedy.

@pureMetatron I dunno...Islam keeps over a billion people in bondage. Communism is horrible, but it doesn't (quite) have the religious hold on hearts and minds that Islam has. Islam proved itself the stronger, BTW, when the former Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan.

@cecegkh Dr. Strangelove

Name a doctor you would trust more than Jill Biden? Dr. Frankenstein

@JDunlap1974 According to the Bible, the false accuser should suffer the same punishment as he/she intended for the accused. She should be sent to prison for six years. And that's EVEN IF the accused isn't convicted. In this case, he was. Should the punishment of the accuser then be greater?

This man was a high school football star until he got charged with a rape of a 16 year old girl. The charge was eventually dropped after 16-year-old girl confessed that the rape never happened. Unfortunately, he spent 6 years falsely imprisoned and broke down when the case was moved to dismissed. Do you think this girl should face any consequences? And if so..... what?

@flowidealism Great catch. These are young adults. They're bored silly being treated like children. They want to do real stuff, but we won't let them. Amish kids start doing adult stuff at 12 or 13, with real responsibilities. No delinquency problems.

A majority of American students began going to high school in the 1930s. A majority started actually graduating from high school in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Look at what happened immediately after: Rebel Without a Cause in 1955. Juvenile delinquents became a cultural phenomenon. The whole troubled teenager trope emerged. This timing is not coincidental. We took young people out of the workforce and caged them in institutions. We gave them nothing meaningful to do. Then we acted surprised when they acted out. The rebellion was a predictable response to the cage.

@rabbriansamuel Oh my. I'm absolutely appalled. I feel so deflated, so let down. This is the most hubristic, utterly self-absorbed take on the passage I could have possibly imagined. God is going to have to do a great work of humbling in these hearts.

I’m often asked how Jewish people understand Isaiah 53. What follows is my own paraphrase of the chapter based on the classic Jewish interpretation. This is my own paraphrase. It is not copy/pasted from any real translation. But it portrays the verse by verse Jewish interpretation. I am not saying that I agree with all of this. This is for informational purposes only. In this reading, the suffering servant is Israel. Also, it is important to know that the first-person actually speaking is the nations of the world, shocked in the end times as they witness God redeeming Israel, and realize they were wrong about the Jewish people all along. --- Isaiah 53: 1: Who can believe what we are seeing, how the Lord is redeeming Israel? 2. Israel grew up before God as a tender shoot, a root out of dry ground. There was nothing about Israel that was at all attractive to us. 3. Israel was despised and rejected by everyone, viewed as sad and pathetic. We didn't even want to look at them. We despised them and would not esteem them. 4. Yet it was us that caused Israel pain from our own sins. We thought Israel was stricken and afflicted by God, 5. But it was our sinful actions that caused Israel to be pierced, our iniquities that crushed Israel. Israel was chastised while we had peace. Israel was striped while we had healing. 6. We, all the nations, like sheep have gone astray, each one turned to his own way. But the Lord allowed our sinfulness to be a burden on Israel. 7. The righteous of Israel were afflicted and oppressed but they didn't complain about it, like a lamb led to slaughter or a sheep before its shearers. 8. We oppressed and judged Israel and we killed the Jews. But we were the transgressors, not them. 9. After we killed them, we put them in graves with other wicked, rich people. Even though they didn't do anything wrong. 10. Yet it pleased the Lord to cause Israel to suffer from our hands. Still, Israel will continue to prosper generationally, and God's ultimate will for Israel will be done. 11. Because Israel suffered so much, God will be satisfied. And then Israel will teach us the ways of God and forgive our iniquities. 12. Israel in the end will be great and victorious like one who enjoys the spoils of war. This is because Israel poured out his soul unto death and was counted as sinners, even though he bore the brunt of our own sins. In spite of all of this, Israel intercedes for us.

@JosiahForYeshua What's even weirder, why do they blame today's Jews, but then say today's Jews aren't really descendants of first century Jews?

How come people still blame today’s Jews for killing Jesus, but they don’t blame today’s Italians for killing Julius Caesar?

@GenX2001 @Cr7Godbrand That's odd...never been to Key West but heard the population there is mostly male

@Cr7Godbrand I'm in my mid 50s and short, just 5'5"...but also SVP, Business Ops...very successful...was in #KeyWest this past weekend, there's no shortage of women in 20s - 30s looking for someone stable and well off to share life with.

We grew up around younger women. We saw how they told us we were not on their level. They were partying with older men, getting into clubs for free, sitting in VIP sections, having no jobs but wearing expensive clothes, hair and the latest phones, with their bills being paid. They had so many older men they could call for money and gifts, and we saw cars coming to pick these women up at universities every Friday night. They call us broke for not having a car and money at 22 years old even thought they don’t have a car. Meanwhile, we were hustling and focused on making money. We finally made it in our late 30s, and now you want men to go date a woman who is 40 because she is “mature”? Mature in what? Multiple dicks , trauma, heartbreak, and high body counts? No. Let these men go enjoy what you enjoyed at a young age. What happened to those men you were partying with? Why didn’t they marry you? If you didn’t struggle and build with these men in their 20s, you have no fuckin right to tell them to marry older women in their 30s and 40s. We don’t want no retired menopausal baddie. Yall can go to hell.

@BrianAtlas My first thought: What was she thinking? My second thought: She must be a high school teacher

Is this an appropriate outfit for a teacher?

@DiianaD_ I've lived in way smaller spaces than that. What a waste.

Be honest, men is this enough to start your life ?

@klara_sjo Your logic is impressive.

1 in 6 people in the world are Chinese, so if you know 5 people and they aren't Chinese, then it's you.

@TavCannaLLC You came late to the party, Seth. It's not your fault, it's just that you're young. When I read the Bitcoin Standard, I was able to skip over the first several chapters dealing with money and fiat currency. Why? Because I'm an old Ron Paul hard money advocate. I knew all that.

The paragraph that finally convinced me to buy Bitcoin. I hope you are paying attention. 🧡🇺🇸 “Unsound money was a boon to tyrants, repressive regimes, and illegitimate governments by allowing them to avoid the reality of costs and benefits by increasing the money supply to finance their undertakings first, and letting the population handle the consequences later as they witness their wealth and purchasing power evaporate. History is replete with examples of how governments that have the prerogative to create money out of thin air have almost always abused this privilege by turning it against their own people.” (p. 152. para 2) 📙The Bitcoin Standard By Saifedean Ammous: @saifedean 📙 #bitcoin
