@bethanyshondark I assume that's a dance class

RIP Bethany Mandel. Killed by her preteen son after she informed him she’s signed him up for a Latin class next school year.

@PeteHegseth @KidRock @USArmy Our military is now allowed to do cool shit. And also, practice a damn good static hover.

Thank you @KidRock. @USArmy pilots suspension LIFTED. No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots. 🇺🇸

@gooberbite @Griot2325 I think it was always the plan. We think its about right and left, but its about pragmatism vs resentment. Look at everything through that lens and its all clear.

@MenAreSpeaking @Griot2325 When they were at their most right-wing, on that note, why did Nick just copy Richard Spencer's career?

Why is almost every right wing influencer either a grifter or the biggest degenerate known to mankind?

NOW - Trump says the U.S. will leave the Iran War in 2 or 3 weeks.

I’m done with @RealCandaceO I’m done with @mtgreenee. I’m done with @TuckerCarlson. I’m done with @Nero. I’m done with @JackPosobiec. I’m done with @Timcast. I’m done with @megynkelly. I’m done with the @hodgetwins. I’m done with the entire cottage industry that built empires on the backs of a movement and now wants to lecture that same audience like they just discovered virtue. What we’re watching isn’t some great awakening. It’s a rebrand. It’s a pivot. It’s a group of people reading the room, spotting where the next pile of money is, and sprinting toward it while pretending it’s about conscience. That’s the part that insults people’s intelligence. These are not newcomers finding their voice. These are professionals who understood exactly what they were doing when they built their platforms. They knew the audience. They knew the message. They knew the stakes. And they were more than happy to cash in on all of it. Now, with a different set of incentives, they’re suddenly above it all. Suddenly they’re the referees. Suddenly they’re the ones telling everyone else they’ve been misled. No. They didn’t discover truth. They discovered a new revenue stream. There is serious money right now in turning on the very people who made you relevant. There is attention, media amplification, and a fresh audience waiting to reward you for it. So the script flips. The tone shifts. The lectures begin. And the same people who once spoke with certainty now speak with superiority. They wrap it in big language about principles and clarity, but look a little closer and the pattern is obvious. The timing is perfect. The messaging is coordinated. The outrage is monetized. This is not bravery. This is market positioning. Meanwhile, the people actually living in the real world, the voters, the families, the ones who don’t get paid to post, are treated like props in someone else’s content strategy. Talked down to. Written off. Used when convenient and discarded when not. That’s where the real frustration comes from. And here’s what makes all of this even more absurd. They’re squandering a once-in-a-generation moment. Donald Trump is not a polished conservative intellectual. He’s not Buckley. He’s not Reagan in tone or temperament. He’s blunt. He’s transactional. He’s often crude in ways that make even his supporters wince. And yet, in the only place that ultimately matters, results, he has governed like the heir to Reagan’s legacy. He reshaped the federal judiciary in a way conservatives had talked about for decades but never fully delivered. He put forward justices who helped overturn Roe v. Wade, something that for years was treated as a distant goal. He proved it was real. He pursued policies rooted in national interest, economic strength, and American leverage, not as theory, but as action. That combination unsettles people because it does not fit neatly into any ideological box. He is not a movement conservative in the traditional sense, but he has delivered outcomes that movement conservatives once said they wanted. And politics is not a clean business. It never has been. It is rough. It is personal. It is unforgiving. And it demands a level of resilience that most of the people commenting from the sidelines have never had to show. Trump has taken hit after hit, from media, from institutions, from political opponents, and yes, from people who once claimed to be on his side. And he keeps standing. They threw everything at him, and when that wasn’t enough, someone tried to take his life in Butler, Pennsylvania. That is not rhetoric. That is reality. And by the grace of God, he survived. Most people would disappear after that. Most people would step back, protect themselves, and walk away. He didn’t. So spare me the lectures from people who found a more comfortable lane the moment things got difficult. It is easy to posture. It is easy to pivot. It is easy to cash in. It is a lot harder to stand in the fire and keep going. And while all of this noise floods social media, something else is happening that people should be paying attention to. Foreign actors are pouring fuel on every internal disagreement, amplifying the most divisive voices, boosting the most inflammatory content, and creating the illusion that the country is more fractured than it actually is. They do not need to invent our disagreements. They just need to magnify them until it feels like there is nothing else. That distortion becomes reality for people who live online. It creates a collective illusion that America is coming apart at the seams, that neighbors have nothing in common, that the center has collapsed. But step outside of that bubble and it tells a very different story. Most Americans still believe in the core principles that built this country. Individual liberty. Personal responsibility. Equal justice under the law. The idea that rights come from God, not government. Those ideas have not disappeared. They are not fringe. They are the quiet consensus that does not trend on social media because it is not designed to provoke. What we are seeing online is not the country. It is a distorted mirror of it. And too many of these influencers are either blind to that or actively participating in it because it benefits them. You don’t have to like everything about Trump. Nobody does. But pretending this moment is ordinary, or that what has been accomplished is meaningless, is not serious. Some people are willing to take the hits to move the country forward. Others are just trying to make sure they land on their feet when the winds shift. And people can tell the difference. President Trump is the president we need at this historic moment. And he needs our support now, more than ever!! #MAGA

@gooberbite @Griot2325 Groypers are kinda quantum leaping out of the right and into the left rn, too.

@MenAreSpeaking @Griot2325 Groyper affiliations they kicked him out because he wouldn't get clean for one night

@Kingbingo_ Iran has won 😑

The Trump attacks on the UK seem absurd but might be tactical. The narrative could be (US) are walking away, "get the oil yourself". And Iran will charge $2m per mega tanker, adding $1 per barrel. This pivots a US loss into a perceived UK loss. And ignores that Iran won.

@GamewithDave The music was pretty good. A good variety, two. Every radio station seemed to have it's own thing going. Rock, alternative, punk, reggae, ska, EDM, pop, metal, rap, etc. Today, everything has blended into the same EDM-rap-rock-pop song.

People who actually experienced the 1990s: What is something you miss from that decade that just isn't the same today

@StrangerWho934 @Griot2325 The Israel hatred turns people's brains into mush. I see them as useful. They kill Muslims, so for what that's worth, I am happy about that. I like them like a spider in my house.

@MenAreSpeaking @Griot2325 Bro the thing is, I also don't like Isreal...but I am not going to become pro Iran, Palestine or whatever other terrorist state because I don't like Isreal, funny enough you can hate both

How does this make him look bad?

@kengakusha1 Honorary state then. You can vote for President, but you have 0 electoral votes. We just get to hear what you think.

日本は日本 唯一無二の国 良き友でいれたら嬉しいね

@Panagiotou90St His face says "aren't you ashamed?"

Zack Polanski enlarged kristi Noem’s husband’s breasts with hypnotherapy.

@ArchmagosKiran @DastDn Their policy is going to mean having no gas, then.

@MenAreSpeaking @DastDn Europe has built its internal security on notion that no state has any right to claim for territory of any other and certainly its unacceptable to force such claim using military fource. European post 1945 consensus is that annexation of territory in any way is unacceptable.

Europeans are mishandling the Iran war on a monumental level. I don't know if it's fear of Iran's retaliation, payback for Trump's thuggery, reaction to the domestic political imperatives, or a combination of all of these. But denial of base/airspace use, to quote Talleyrand:

@twisokhou Genius.

@nightrolling_ There is a PAWG surplus in Japan. I repeat, PAWG surplus.

私は運動できる筋肉もあるぽっちゃりでいたい。 ガリガリ至上主義の日本では私はデブ扱いです✋

Quick video message for the UK while I am fixing my mower

Little chickies are out in the run now.

@pocha_matching 3. 🇺🇸

これガチで海外の人に聞きたいんだけど、この画像だと何番からが「ぽっちゃりしてるな」って思うのかな？日本人の感覚と全然違うと思うんだよね・・

@mattforney @Osborne75603086 Cucked by the mullahs, again @Panagiotou90St

France gave Khomeini sanctuary during the 70s and effectively allowed him to launch the Islamic Revolution from their territory. Unsurprising that they turned out to be cucks.
