There are now reports that Secretary Hegseth may have been trying to enrich himself by trading stocks related to defense companies leading up to the Iran War. We’re launching an investigation today into what appears to be both major corruption and a national security threat.

@GovPritzker It's an 80% issue. Your whining isn't going to change the eventual outcome. Your corruption is going to stop.

LMAO, they are all squealing, "I'll see you in court!" What good are courts if you lose the consent of the people? 80% of the population demands election reform, and you fools think you can get by on lawfare? SMH. Some folks live in a fantasy world. This may not end well.

@GovernorShapiro And we'll just reject your cheating and you'll disenfranchise your entire state. One way or another, your corrution is going to end.

President Trump can sign whatever the hell he wants to, but it won’t change the Constitution. The authority to set our election rules belongs to the states — and as Governor, I will protect your right to vote. That includes your right to vote by mail.

BREAKING: President Trump signs an order directing the creation of a national eligible voter list, a move expected to face swift legal challenges. apnews.com/article/donald…

Unpopular take: it is not possible to have a hard negotiation with foreign powers without being less than honest to the American public, in the same way you can't play a good hand of poker if your cards on are display for your opponent to see.

Watching "Team America: World Police" with my teen boys and I realized I know how to solve ALL political problems. Release TAWP in theaters again. Humorless libs' heads will explode. Problems solved. (If their heads don't explode they are cool liberals.)

So damned true. We are defined by hysterical reactions to the choices of long dead men, and somehow imagine we're still reasoning creatures.
Devon Eriksen@Devon_Eriksen_

For 80 years, the political landscape of the developed world has been defined by WW2. Modern postwar liberalism became a sort of dark inverted religion, a religion not built around a god, but a devil. I call this religion "inverse fascism". Inverse fascism has no plans, no vision, and no systematic understanding of the world. It just asks itself "What would Hitler do?", then does the opposite, and congratulates itself for being righteous. Not only that, inverse fascism doesn't even understand who the fascists were, and what exactly they believed. It only sees the Axis powers as Saturday morning cartoon villains, comically evil antagonists in a half-hour show for kids. That's no way to run a world. You can't let infinity third world immigrants into developed countries just because Hitler wouldn't. You can't hug and forgive violent criminals over and over again as they hurt innocent people, just because Hitler wouldn't. You can't allow addicts and derelicts to camp on the streets of your cities, shooting up heroin, just because Hitler wouldn't. You can't pressure all your female population into in the workforce and career-building in their early 20s, discouraging them from having babies, just because Hitler wouldn't. You can't dismantle your unique culture, and destroy the racial composition of your society, just because Hitler wouldn't. To do everything you do just because Hitler wouldn't is to allow Hitler, or your notion of Hitler, to define you. Today, I saw a Japanese person making a joke about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A few days ago, I heard the President of the United States make a joke about the attack on Pearl Harbor. Perhaps in the days to come, we can hope to hear a Chinese man make a joke about Unit 731. To hear a German make a joke about the firebombing of Dresden. To hear an Israeli make a joke about the holocaust. Perhaps the world is starting to heal. Perhaps we are no longer allowing our worst moments to define us. Perhaps we don't need to scold ourselves about the wars of our ancestors. Or to blind ourselves to our virtues out of fear of repeating their sins. Perhaps we can create a new political ideology, based not on asking what Hitler would not do, but on asking what helps us colonize the stars.

People ask me why I put so much #politics in my #books. Why I have to lecture readers. I am not lecturing readers. I put politics in my books because I write incredibly opinionated characters who live in societies that have meaning. Sauron is bad because he enslaves people.

I realize I have offered few annoying opinions of late, and I apologize top my three readers, but it is gardening season. I have been either on my tractor, crawling in mud, or nursing aching muscles in a hot bath. Also, chickens.

Is it weird to ask grok about how to organize my rows of melons to cultivate with my tractor? For my next trick I'm going to go get a house in WoW with some buds and try to take over the neighborhood. Modern life, right?

I was not a fan, personally. I didn't like the effect heroes had on the game.
