@infantrydort Hear, hear.

Where is the Spirit of 1775? As a child, I was haunted, nay, inspired by a single image: a line of farmers, blacksmiths, and preachers standing shoulder to shoulder on a quiet patch of grass called Lexington Green. It was a cold morning on this day in April 1775. The British, the most feared military on the planet were marching toward them in perfect formation. Their uniforms were pristine. Their boots struck the dirt with rhythm. And they carried the weight of empire behind their bayonets. But our ancestors stood anyway. I think of them often. I try to imagine what it felt like to wear their coats, grip a musket with shaking hands, breathe in that cold air, and lock eyes with trained killers. And the more I think of them, the more I realize something difficult to admit: They all died that day. Maybe not in flesh. But inside. Long before they ever shouldered arms. You see, tyranny has a way of killing men while they’re still alive. Slowly. Quietly. One freedom at a time. One humiliation at a time. One injustice at a time. Until something in the soul snaps. There’s a line. Thin, invisible, but absolute, between tolerable suffering and spiritual death. When a peaceful man is pushed past that line, he becomes something else entirely. Not a brute. Nor a savage. But something more ancient. Something elemental. Only peaceful men truly understand this. Only men who love their families, who go to work, who pray in quiet, who hope for a better future. They alone carry the burden of that final transformation. When the last door closes, when every appeal is ignored, when they see more value in risking death than in living as a slave… something awakens. This is what tyranny did to them in 1775. And this is exactly what progressivism is doing to the West in 2026. We must all hold the very line of civilization itself. Because what’s unfolding before our eyes isn’t progress, it’s regress.

@trad_west_ He was the last great Pope. Sadly, the current Pope is a profound disappointment.

>Pope Saint John Paul II >Survived Communist occupation of Poland >Told millions living under Soviet rule: "Be not afraid" >Called out communism >Helped collapse the Soviet Union >Called out unbridled capitalism and consumerism >Called out declining birth rates >Calls out the modern "culture of death" >Called out the Iraq war >Took a bullet from an assassin and survived >Forgave his own attacker face-to-face >Fiercely defended the traditional family >Spoke 12 languages >Declared a Saint by the Church Pope Saint John Paul II was amazing.

@infantrydort Nice one Dort.

We Will Not Be Replaced It is quite insane, really. The entire world now arrays itself against the United States the moment we remember we have a right to self-determination. Borders. Continuity. The simple demand that this nation remain ours. I have never witnessed anything like recent events. The Catholic Church hierarchy and the mullahs of Iran suddenly chanting the same refrain. The UN. The Pope. Most Western governments. All reciting the identical globalist Marxist filth in a propaganda symphony that would make Goebbels himself stand in silent awe. The message is not subtle. It's delivered with the cold precision of those who actually run the world: >You will be persecuted if you want a country with borders. >You will be smeared if you refuse infinity migrants who rape and don't assimilate. >You will be damned if you reject sharing the earth with terrorist regimes. >You will be hunted if you deny the ruling class its “Epstein” privileges over your daughters. Submit. Dissolve. Perish quietly. You will never be thanked for it. Only chastised until you sheepishly die. But we see you. Every last one of you. The globalist chorus that suddenly finds common cause with our enemies. You are not hiding. You're telling us exactly who you are, and we believe every damn word. This isn't holy compassion you peddle. This is the deliberate weakening of the West so that it can be replaced. Our lands overrun. Our women violated. Our children’s future auctioned off while we are lectured about “welcoming the stranger.” Where was this moral thunder when it matter most in recent years? Nowhere. Because the goal was never mercy. The goal was erosion. America doesn't ask permission to exist as itself. We don't negotiate our survival. And we certainly don't apologize for refusing to roll over and die. WE are the ones who underwrote the peace you enjoyed. WE are the ones who carried the bill for your delusions of borderless utopia. The invoice is now due, and this latest outburst is proof you feel the weight of it in your bones. A sovereign people does not debate its own replacement. It secures its right to remain. Pressure will come dressed as virtue. It always does. Shame, sermons, sanctions. Tired old tools with new voices. They mistake restraint for weakness. They always do. America is not sustained by your worthless approval. It is sustained by will. It's sustained by steel laid down long before the argument, by ships already at sea, by a people who have paid in blood for the simple right to decide their own future. That memory does not fade. It simply hardens. We are NOT asking permission. Nor are we seeking consensus. We are setting terms. We will not thin out. We will not be dissolved. We will not be replaced. We remain. And all you can do is shriek at a country that has heard it all before. But the world runs on something older than your arguments. If you want us to die, you'll have to do it the old fashioned way.

@MarioNawfal What I see is strategy. Iran will be crushed economically, while America and its Gulf Arab allies benefit. It’s the effective use of leverage.

In one month, Trump went from OPENING the Strait of Hormuz to now BLOCKADING it Anyone else see the irony?

@shadihamid No one has a "right" to be in America, except those born here to legal residents. Everyone else should be required to fully assimilate, and swear full faith and allegiance to the United States.

Should a minority community's right to be in America depend on their willingness to converge with the cultural mainstream? No, it shouldn't depend on that. It shouldn't depend on anything. We're all Americans, after all.

My new @washingtonpost column: Why do Muslims need to be like everyone else? A case against assimilation. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

@shanaka86 Perhaps the military works differently in Australia, but in America general officers do not get to say "no" to lawful orders. In fact, "resisting" a lawful order is indeed misconduct.

Twenty-six generals and admirals in fourteen months. No misconduct cited for a single one. A former Fox News weekend host who never held a senior military command has removed the Joint Chiefs Chairman, the Army Chief of Staff, the commander of Army Transformation and Training, the Chief of Chaplains, and at least 22 other senior officers from the most powerful military on earth. He blocked four Army officers from promotion to brigadier general, two Black men and two women, by unilaterally striking their names from a list of 36. When Army Secretary Dan Driscoll refused to remove them, Hegseth did it himself. No hearing. No review board. No Senate consultation. The names were struck because the man who reads the list decided they should not be on it. The pattern is not random. It is architectural. Every removal serves the same function: shortening the distance between a presidential decision and its execution. The officers who remain are the ones who did not resist. The officers who resisted are gone. The replacement for the Army Chief of Staff is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve, who served as Hegseth’s personal military aide. The man who carried the briefcase now signs the orders. The chain of command has been rebuilt so that every link answers directly to the man who removed the previous link. General Randy George was the commander of the United States Army’s ground forces. That title matters now in a way it did not matter six weeks ago. Before February 28, ground forces in Iran were a theoretical exercise discussed in war colleges and think tanks. After five weeks of air strikes, with the IRGC publishing bridge target lists across four allied nations, with the President saying the military has “not even started” destroying what remains, with MEUs staged in the Gulf and the 82nd Airborne deploying and JSOC operators at forward bases in four countries, the ground option is no longer theoretical. It is a logistics package. And the man whose job was to assess whether that package should be opened was told to retire the same day the President posted “much more to follow.” Lieutenant General Hodne ran the command that trains every soldier who would execute a ground operation. Major General Green led the chaplain corps that would minister to every soldier who dies in one. George decided whether the operation should happen. Hodne prepared the soldiers to carry it out. Green prepared them to live with it. All three were removed on the same afternoon. Congress has not held a hearing. No subpoenas issued. The legal authority for a Defence Secretary to unilaterally override promotion lists and force immediate retirement of Senate-confirmed officers during wartime has not been tested because nobody with the authority to question it has chosen to. The IRGC has said attacks will “intensify from next week.” The Ford carrier is heading back. The CNN intelligence assessment confirms half of Iran’s launchers and thousands of drones remain. The President has named the next targets: power plants, desalination, oil wells, Kharg Island. And every general who might have said “this crosses a line” is already gone. Twenty-six officers. Zero misconduct findings. One question that every general still serving is asking behind closed doors: who is left to say no? And what happens when the answer is nobody? open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@baypinar35 Yummy.

@harukaawake Well said.

🇯🇵 I often see endless third world resentment toward the West and feel only pity. Hiroshima & Nagasaki were destroyed by atomic bombs. We lost everything. We didn't scream about trauma or demand endless reparations. We rebuilt. Today these cities are beautiful. So, drop the victimhood. Stop blaming history. Change and build something or otherwise get used to being disliked.

@nanshisweets Yes we do. And also apple pie.

@ColumbiaBugle It was similar in America when the population was 80% white.

Japan’s homogeneity (97% ethic Japanese) creates incredible levels of social cohesion. Their kindergartners run errands alone. Their stores display wares with no security measures. Tokyo (pop. 14M) is among the world’s safest cities. And visible diversity kills social cohesion.

@elonmusk @XFreeze Indeed, a very special league.

@XFreeze Optimus 3 is in the same league as Raptor 3

First, make it exist, then polish it later

@GuntherEagleman There should be no dual citizenship. Period!

There should be no “dual citizens” in elected office… You’re either an American or you’re not.

@Adam_FaithfulM The same cannot be said about Mohammed.

There is a lot of evidence supporting Jesus' existence. Eyewitness testimonies of his resurrection. Over 5,800 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament — and up to 25,000 when including other ancient languages. 500+ witnesses to His resurrection. This is not fabricated. It is solid historical evidence. Even outside the Bible, historians like Josephus wrote about Jesus. Jesus Christ is real — and He is God.

@OldeWorldOrder More specifically, they executed the criminals. It was quite successful as a matter of public policy.

STEPHEN MILLER: "The West only achieved the place that it did in human history because it spent previous centuries eradicating the criminal elements within its territories."

@infantrydort @KurtSchlichter Only people who have never been in combat would think that way.

Imagine fighting fair in war. Imagine actually thinking that thought.

@infantrydort Wow, nice 80s movie reference. The Last Starfighter was a fun film.

We all just gonna pretend Iran didn’t execute the strategic version of a death blossom? Firing munitions at almost every country around them. Understand how insane that is. But yea, they can have nuclear materials right? 🙄 Homie, they shouldn’t even have a photo of uranium.

What if between no war and forever war there was a third thing

@ImtiazMadmood @SteveYates Donald The Magnificent

Trump on course to be by far the most consequential President ever and likely most transformational world leader of modern times. Globalism, dead. BRICS, dead. Trade, reset. Every major region, reset to pro-American terms. Absolutely remarkable. - @SteveYates

@Geiger_Capital Palmer Luckey too.

I’d prefer Elon to be in charge of our government’s AI war machines over both Sam Altman and Dario.

@CynicalPublius Nice use of that quote from the movie Patton. Such a great line.

"Stay seated if you value illegal aliens over American citizens." (Trump you magnificent bastard, I read your book!) Such brilliant showmanship. Never bet against Donald Trump.
