People will post this as if the US doesn't pay for over 55% of all cancer research while being 25% (or 14% adjusted for PPP) of the world GDP, we spend a vastly disproportionate amount on it relative to everyone else and all they do in return is despise us.

Are you kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me right now? Is this fucking joke? Fukushima? Really? I mean, Japan did some pretty awful stuff in WW2, but... Fukushima? Of all the ridiculous things to feel guilty over... Fukushima was hit by multiple 50 foot tidal waves from a 9.1 earthquake at sea. That's not a fucking nuclear accident. That's your nuclear plant being hit by the hammer of god. And after that, you contained it. You took the hand fate dealt you and you played it with everything you had. You had workers volunteering to be heroes, to stay and fight to shut that thing down. And you saved... everyone. Not a single clearly connected death. In the middle of a natural disaster that cost you fifteen thousand souls, your people fought this thing and won. Chernobyl is something for Russians to be ashamed of, because that was their own screwup, and stupid communists can't do anything right. Fukushima wasn't your screwup. Fukushima happened to you. And your men stopped it. Fukushima is not your national shame. It is one of your finest hours.

Minnesotan here ✋🏻 Just dropping by to say that no one in this state is surprised by this sentence. If a white native-born Minnesotan like me stole $3 million in taxpayer money, Walz and his DFL cronies would crucify us - publicly tar and feather us, seize every asset, lock us up for decades, and unleash their rabid mobs to endlessly harass our entire family. The idea that we’d get one year and a day in prison while only paying back $123K and walking away with the rest is laughable. It’s just (D)ifferent, rights guys?

After doing some digging into the proposed budget for Colorado, it's alarming what our tax dollars are going to. Here's a few:  Taxpayer-funded abortions doubled in just one year. Over FY25-26, we will have paid $2,928,800. This is projected to double the following year to $5,857,600.  The Office of Gun Violence Prevention gets a little over 3 million a year.  Immigration Legal Defense takes $350k of our tax dollars!  As of right now, we are still in a $500 million deficit from the statutorily required 15% reserve. This comes after extensive cuts.

Swalwell: This is another example of Trump going after his political opponents. Also Swalwell: When we retake power, we’re going after our political opponents.

I think I know why everything sucks... ...and it's because everything is fake We are getting fake college degrees that cost 4 years and six figures that teach you fake education and get you fake jobs. We are eating fake food, with fake ingredients, funded by fake research. We are scrolling through fake lives, with fake relationships, who take fake, curated vacations to promote brands that make fake products. We are voting for fake candidates, who run on fake promises, inside a fake system that was never designed to fix anything. We are raising kids in fake schools that teach fake history, fake science, which quietly produce fake adults who can't think for themselves. We are watching fake news, about fake crises, produced by fake journalists, for fake outrage. We are borrowing fake money that was printed from nothing, to fund a fake economy that would collapse in an afternoon if people stopped pretending it was real. We are buying fake organic food that's just a paid label, and drinking fake juice with two percent juice in it, and putting fake cheese on cheeseburgers that's just "cheese product" on fake burger meat. We are donating to fake nonprofits where the moeny never makes it to the people and then funding fake foreign aid that buys real weapons to prop up fake governments. We are going to fake therapy that teaches fake coping skills instead of telling you hard truths. We are buying fake furniture made of fake wood that's actually compressed sawdust and glue that looks like wood, ships in fourteen boxes with instructions written in a fake language that isn't quite any language, requires tools it doesn't include, takes 4 hours to build, wobbles on day 1, and is totally destroyed in 6 months. We are downloading fake "free" apps that charge a subscription after three days for AI features that don't work, hidden behind a paywall we didn't see, protected by a privacy policy we didn't read, buried inside Terms of Service written by lawyers specifically so we wouldn't read them, that we agreed to by tapping a button the size of a thumbnail, that gave a company we've never heard of the right to sell our data to companies we'll never hear of, to build a profile on us we'll never see, to influence decisions we'll never know were made. IT. IS. ALL. FAKE. And we all yearn for what was once real. Don't you remember? Did you forget? There was a time with a simple handshake between men was a contract. When bread went stale because... well, that's what real bread does! When kids played outside all day until it was dark, and nobody tracked them. When a family could live off a single income. When music was made by people who LIVED something real and you could feel it. When schools was HARD... and that was the point! When doctors knew your name and your family, they even came to your house, When you bought something once... and it was yours forever. When the chair your grandmother bought once lasted 70 years and she passed it onto your dad. And now nothing is real, and that's why everything sucks.

If the average person getting $4k/mo from social security could have put that 12.4% of every paycheck into the S&P instead, they would currently be getting $32k/mo instead of $4k. And their kids would continue to get that $32k/mo after they died. Social Security is a scam.

I was raised in the most perfect place on planet earth- Encinitas California. Back in the 90s it was surreal. Quintessential crunchy surfer town where everyone drove VW buses and old mustangs to school. It was peak 90s culture- no conspicuous consumption, garage bands, you ditched school to surf. 72 degrees with an ocean breeze year round. Terrible place to be raised because your mental benchmark for weather is perfection. I spent my single years living two blocks from the beach in HB in the early 00’s. Another idealistic era, where you’re woken up on the 4th of July by your neighbor playing the Star Spangled Banner on the electric guitar, and ended the day watching the fireworks by your bonfire on the beach. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life in San Clemente- close to my parents but with Camp Pendleton as a nice barrier. Then I had kids, and I knew it was never going to happen. I, like millions of others, left California due to Democrat policies. I gave up paradise to live in a society that aligned with my belief system. My first year in Fort Worth Texas there was 100 days over 100 degrees. You did not want to leave the house it was so hot. You also never walked barefoot on the grass because it was filled with red ants and spiders. You know what there is to do for fun in Fort Worth? Get on an airplane and go somewhere else. You drive for 8 hours and guess what- you’re still in Texas. Miles and miles of ugly nothing topography. And you assholes have the audacity to move to our unappealing red states and try to turn them blue?! GO LIVE YOUR SOCIALIST FANTASIES IN PARADISE!! LEAVE OUR HOTTER THAN HELL BUG INFESTED CONSERVATIVE STATES ALONE. What’s that you say? You can’t afford to live anywhere on the entire West Coast? Gee Whiz moron. I wonder why that is…. There’s nothing I loathe more than a red state liberal.

EXPOSED 🚨 New audit of the Denver Colorado homelessness program reveals expenses spent in the program ARE NOT BEING TRACKED $20 million dollars is “missing” “The audit found the Mayor's Homelessness Initiative cost $178 million between 2023 and 2025. So the problem here though is that the mayor's office told City Council it cost $158 million. That's a $20 million gap. The auditor found that no single person or office has ever been responsible for tracking how the money was spent.” “Denver's homelessness program just got audited, and the results raise serious questions about how the city has been spending and tracking your taxpayer money” “Instead, individual agencies track their own costs and decided on their own what counted as a program expense. Denver auditor Timothy O'Brien put it plainly for a program that costs almost $200 million. Not tracking expenses is irresponsible”

The NBA allows Steve Kerr to do press conferences and turn them into political speeches with the NBA logo in the background. He calls the president Hitler. He calls federal law-enforcement Nazis. They do nothing to him. Jaden Ivey expresses his Christian views on his personal social media and he's fired within an hour.

Okay, time to explain guns to our new friends. Every day, when I leave the house, I attach a holstered handgun to my belt, under my shirt or coat. I would no more leave the house without a gun than I would walk around outdoors without shoes. Is it because I "need" a gun? No. I live in rural Tennessee, which is state in the American south. It's very safe here. The dangerous parts of America are big cities where the local government is leftist, and they shelter illegal migrant from the third world, and won't send violent criminals to prison. Places like Chicago and New York City. Yet, any time I leave the house, I put on a gun, knowing that I will probably never have to use it, and if I do, it will probably be on an aggressive stray dog, not a human. So why do I do it? Why do many other people who live around me do it? Why do we do this so much that carrying a gun is considered totally normal? If someone spotted it, it would not even arouse a comment, much less any fear. In fact, it is legal to carry a gun openly here, without covering it up. Covering it up is just considered polite. So.... why? Well, try thinking of an English nobleman, during the reign of Elizabeth the First. When he dressed to go ride to court, he would hang a slender fencing sword, called a rapier or smallsword, from his belt. He didn't expect to be attacked. He didn't even expect to fight a duel. And if he was challenged to a duel, he wouldn't need his sword right then. He would meet his challenger later at an agreed-upon place and time. No, he wore his sword because it was an expression of who he was. He was a gentleman, a person of status, with the legal privilege of carrying a sword. By carrying a sword, he asserted his rights and prerogatives as a nobleman. In Japan, you had the same sort of thing happening. The samurai, members of the bushi class, wore the two swords not because they expected to be attacked at any moment, but because the two swords were an essential part of who he was. So, in these two cases, weapons were carried by noblemen as an assertion of status. They had the right to do so, and they did so in order to assert, exercise, and retain the right. Americans carry guns because every American citizen is a nobleman. When we fought the British for our independence, that war began on April 19th, 1775, when British troops, fearing American rebelliousness, marched out from Boston to confiscate guns from people living in the surrounding countryside. Our ancestors did not submit to this. We shot them instead, and they fled back to Boston with their tails between their legs, to cower under the cover of the guns from the warship HMS Sommerset. Thus began several years of war. And when we won that war, we made a country where no government, and no man, would ever be allowed to disarm the people. No agent of the government may say to us, "I may have a gun, and you may not." Because to say that is to say "I am a nobleman, and you are a peasant. I am a master, and you are a slave." We are not peasants here. We are all noblemen. That is the most basic principle of what it means to be an American. I can be impoverished, so I can to be so poor that I live in a van down by the river. But however reduced my circumstances, as an American, I still have the rights and freedoms of a nobleman, of a daimyo, because that is the basic founding idea of the nation we forged on that day. If you come to America to visit, if you walk among us, you will pass many people carrying guns. You will not notice this. You will not see them. You will witness no violence. Everything will be normal. But the guns will be there. Because that is who we are. We don't carry guns to be violent. We don't wish to be rude, or to intimidate people. We keep our guns covered up. But they are the deepest, most essential part of what it means to be American.

With the latest revelations from ODNI we now know the truth: Democrats never wanted to stop the war in Ukraine because they have been using the war as a money laundering scheme to kick back billions in American tax dollars to fund their operations. This may be the greatest, most corrupt scandal in American history.

If we replaced all 535 of our DC "representatives" with regular folks with No Ties To Donors - they would probably Balance the Budget, and pass the SAVE America Act, in 2 weeks.

@cbradhorton @robprogressive Wasted, frauded, with zero accountability for any of it. Its such a disappointment how much we've ruined our potential it makes me sick.

@robprogressive @JTthe2 850 X $2.6M That's what we have spent in the last 30 days just on Tomahawks. Over a quarter of the current national debt has been accrued under 1 president. Unsustainable.

Everyone screams ‘tax the rich more’ But the  top 1% pay 28.5% of all income tax And the bottom 50% only pay 9% of all income tax The problem is not the rich The problem is how much tax is wasted

🚨 $2 Trillion Later, The Green Revolution Collapsed: How Chasing Weather Power Bankrupted the Grid and Cost the World $40 Trillion in Growth Between 2010 and 2026, governments and corporations poured roughly $2 trillion into solar, wind, and “net‑zero” programs under the promise of an imminent clean‑energy transition. What the public received instead was an illusion—a fragile grid, higher electricity prices, and negligible climate benefits. Energy remained just as carbon‑intensive, but far more expensive and unreliable. The fundamental error was confusing installed capacity with delivered power. Wind and solar often produce energy only 20 % of the time; fossil and nuclear plants generate 60‑90 % consistently. Billions went to weather‑dependent infrastructure that must still be backed up by coal and gas. Once backups, grid stabilization, and battery losses are factored in, true delivered costs for renewables reach $120–250 per MWh, double or triple those of gas, coal, or nuclear. When measured by physical reality rather than marketing slogans, that $2 trillion bought roughly the energy output of $400 billion in conventional power. It displaced almost no fossil fuel consumption and arguably reinforced it, since idling backup plants waste fuel. Worse, dependence on Chinese supply chains for solar panels and rare‑earth minerals eroded national energy independence and inflated emissions through hidden mining and shipping costs. If that same capital had been spent on modern nuclear or advanced natural‑gas infrastructure, the outcome would have been transformative. $2 trillion could have built about 285 GW of nuclear capacity (powering 250 million homes reliably for 70 years) or 1,650 GW of efficient gas plants (enough for 900 million homes for 30 years). Either path would have cut 70–80 gigatons of CO₂, reduced global electricity costs by half, and created genuine energy security. Instead, the current “green” trajectory delivered rising utility bills, rolling blackouts, and greater reliance on geopolitical adversaries. Global power costs rose roughly 60%, contributing to deindustrialization in Europe, worldwide inflation, and a cumulative $37–40 trillion loss in global GDP—about half of one year of global economic output. That’s the price of mistaking ideology for engineering. The lesson could not be clearer: physics determines prosperity. Dense, dispatchable energy such as nuclear or gas remains the backbone of civilization, and no amount of subsidies or messaging can legislate thermodynamics. The so‑called green transition did not decarbonize the planet—it impoverished it. The road to sustainability is not paved with solar subsidies but with unapologetic engineering and scientific honesty.

Stephen A. Smith: “Do we really think that Zohran Mamdani was the most qualified candidate to be Mayor of New York City? Come on now! We know better!” “He had NEVER done anything.” Bill Maher: “He’s also a communist… that’s his political view.”

Meanwhile, the other 332 million normal Americans spent their weekend with their families and friends having cookouts, going for scenic drives, or to the beach. Protesting is what useless people do to feel important.

9 million attended the “No Kings” protest against President Trump. No protesters were killed. Millions of Iranians protested the Ayatolla and the Iranian Regime. Over 30,000 were killed. They were shot by snipers. They were hanged from cranes. Do you see the difference?
