Gavin Newsom vs JD Vance after high school graduation

8 down…

Some days you can’t love social media enough. This is one of those days. It began like this. Someone stole 12 tons of KitKats. And then the replies started coming in. Scroll down.

Hear me out…

The mainstream media's total blackout on the Japan-America Lovefest on X is interesting isn't it Over the weekend, something genuinely beautiful and barrier-shattering unfolded between ordinary Japanese and American X users after the rollout of a major Grok powered auto-translation feature combined with algorithm tweaks. Two tribes of humans separated by language and distance and.. history, just talked directly to each other in whimsical ways, shared countless pictures of BBQ meats and muscle cars, and co-created anime memes reflecting their newly formed bond. It was raw, it was real, and it was super wholesome. There was so much curiosity about the other. I saw a really respectful debate about Shinto theology versus Christianity, a viral post about fart nomenclature, treatises on why American culture and gun culture can't be separated, tips on what meat cuts to use for BBQing and how to make marinade, and the shared bonding that comes with the realization that "hey… your crazies sound and look exactly like our crazies.” Liberals love to preach about the sacred importance of “connecting” - building bridges, fostering dialogue, and embracing cross-cultural understanding. Well, here it was on X - a genuine, organic, bottom-up explosion of goodwill between ordinary Japanese and American citizens. This was human connection above borders and it's exactly what every self-proclaimed progressive claims to live for. And yet, when it finally happened, apart from @PirateWires and @TheBabylonBee, there's been a total media black hole about this. Which is maybe excusable if they didn't actually spend WEEKS covering "chinamaxxing" as a social media trend on TikTok last month. BBC, NYT, WaPo, CNN, WSJ, GQ all pumped out multiple fawning articles about influencers suddenly finding themselves at their "most Chinese time of their lives," and how Beijing’s cultural exports were winning hearts and minds. But it's total crickets when Japanese and Americans voluntarily, joyfully, and directly bonded on X. Why? Because this lovefest is not anti-Western. It’s not anti-American. It’s not pro-authoritarian. It’s two free peoples with no pretensions looking at each other going "hey, you’re pretty cool actually.” So the mainstream media doesn't really know how to cover something like that. Nor would they want to. It's not in their DNA. There is no point to score against America and particularly, the Americans they despise the most (the ones whose lifestyle the Japanese were super interested in). So there's no story there. Anyway, if X can repeat this many times over in other countries - that would be huge. Great work @nikitabier

Ok, now do the Obama library.

This is incredibly generous. TSA agents across the country are relying on food pantries and community donations just to get by. I remain the lone Dem to vote with my Republican colleagues to fully fund DHS and get people paid. It should never come to this point.

Barack Obama praises his co-conspirator.

Oh wow did a guy not show proper respect for another guy who tried to destroy his life over a bunch of made up bullshit coordinated by his political opponents wow what a lunatic

@BarackObama Far and away the worst and most vile presidential comment today on the man who was the titular head of a horrific operation to destroy countless lives, overturn a presidential election, and obliterate any trust whatsoever in federal government.

The only piece of garbage bigger than Mueller was this guy

Mueller was destructive and vindictive. He ruined people for a living. He was a terrible person and responsible for one of the worst manipulations of US intelligence in history - and he did it with full knowledge that he was lying.

I’m 100 percent convinced the Art Deco design of Hoover Dam is America’s greatest ever public project and we’ll probably never come close again

🚨Study involving 1.7 million children has found that Myocarditis & Pericarditis only appeared in children who had received COVID mRNA vaccines. Not a single unvaccinated child in the group suffered from these heart-related problems.

What they did to these DOGE kids, purely to harass them and discourage anyone else from even trying to do real civic work, is completely beyond the pale. Truly sick people. Credit to Nathan Cavanaugh for running circles around that mob.

Thinking about the time our high school English teacher gave us a poem to analyse When we finished she told us it was Donald Rumsfeld’s WMD press conference, and that was the class

Meet Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill. He’s defying an activist judge’s orders to release a violent career criminal with 35 prior arrests. He may now be sanctioned for contempt for not releasing the criminal. Kudos to @Sheriff_LVMPD!!! 👏 HERO

In 2017, the Trump administration asked a federal judge to sentence this terrorist to 20 years. The judge declined and sentenced him to only 132 months of incarceration and five years of supervised release. The Biden administration released the terrorist years before his sentence was supposed to be up, in December 2024. And now an innocent is dead, two injured and entire community traumatized.

🚨HOLY CRAP!!! It has been revealed that it was the STUDENTS at Old Dominion University who BEAT THE TERR*RIST TO DEATH... WITHOUT GUNS!!! "There were students that were in that room that subdued him and rendered him... no longer alive. I don't know how else to say it, but they basically were able to terminate the threat." ABSOLUTE HEROES!!!!!!

The charge of the Polish Hussars at the Siege of Vienna in 1683 was the largest cavalry charge in history. I am painting this epic moment one painstaking detail at a time. This is exactly what I do - bring history to life in fine art.
