Isn’t it weird that forcing pork on Muslims is disrespectful, but forcing LGBTQ on Christians is called “tolerance”.

.@elonmusk Agreed.
The “tolerance” we’re often demanded to practice today is not the classical liberal version—live and let live, with reciprocal respect for individual rights—but a one-way ratchet: tolerance for illiberal ideologies, parallel societies, demographic replacement without assimilation, and active hostility toward the Enlightenment values that built the West (free speech, reason, merit, secular governance, due process).
Karl Popper framed this clearly in The Open Society and Its Enemies: unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. We must claim the right to suppress, by argument and if necessary by force, intolerant philosophies that refuse to reciprocate. A society that can’t draw that line will eventually be ruled by those who won’t tolerate it.
Western civilization isn’t a suicide pact. It produced unprecedented prosperity, liberty, and scientific progress precisely because it prioritized truth over dogma, individuals over collectives, and open inquiry over enforced piety. Pretending every culture or ideology is equally compatible with that track record isn’t compassion—it’s historical illiteracy dressed up as virtue.
The practical implication isn’t cruelty or blanket exclusion. It’s simple consistency: enforce the same standards for everyone. Assimilate or don’t stay. Debate ideas fiercely but protect the Overton window that allows debate in the first place. Prioritize citizens and the civilization that sustains them.
Tolerance of the tolerant. Intolerance of the intolerant. Anything less is managed decline.

@MikeBales @BMoyers Saw this earlier today. Sums up what tolerance really means vs what is being demanded of us…

@PNWrefugee Funny because I just posted a YT video this morning that has a 1972 Interceptor lll for sale $29,500. It has a 440 with a blower and dual quads.

DID YOU KNOW?
In 1973, it was possible to buy a brand new car with a 440 SIX PACK!
It was called the Jensen SP and it came with a 440 Six pack (385 H.P. & 490 lb. ft.).
Jensen, a British car company, purchased a little over 200 440 Six Pack engines from Chrysler in 1971.
Chrysler had them laying around and wasn't going to produce cars with them anymore.
The Jensen SP was sold from 1971-1973. The 440 Six Packs were paired to a 727 torqueflite automatic.
Some modifications were made like the accessories, they painted over the orange Chrysler paint with black because that was their typical engine color. Jensen valve covers replaced Chryslers metal orange ones.
British magazines road tested the car and achieved a top speed of 151 miles per hour.

ALERT: Man says he exposed himself in the parking lot of a TJ Maxx to a minor because he lost a dare.
James Bell, 44, allegedly exposed himself to 2 girls, one of whom was a 17-year-old, in a parking lot in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The Greensboro Police Department arrested Bell after the incident, and he appeared erratic in court, rambling about how it was a misunderstanding before the judge muted him.
"It was a huge stripper accident. I apologize. Huge misunderstanding. I was dared. The dare won… Sorry for wasting your time.”
"I'm sorry for this huge misunderstanding. I know this is weird to a lot of people. It's not to me. It was a dare, and I lost. … Once again, I'm sorry."
Bell’s bail was set at $10,000, and he faces a felony indecent exposure to a minor charge and a misdemeanor indecent exposure charge.

Doesn't @MSNOWNews have White House correspondents? They could very easily ask this question if they want to.
You know why they won't? Because the answer is glaringly obvious.

@Viktor03000 It IS a great scene. But I gotta be ‘that guy’, Seth. You couldn’t get the 455 until ‘70. ‘69 Judges had the 400 Ram Air III or the round port 400 Ram Air IV (exceedingly rare).

Germany continues to prove itself an incredibly poor ally to America.
Merz disparages our country, mocks our military, and ignores our Commander-in-Chief…all while surviving off the American economy.

BREAKING: CIA admits to using Bitcoin for intelligence gathering, according to Deputy Director Michael Ellis.

I’ll explain this like you’re five:
People who spend decades researching complicated problems sometimes change their minds based on evidence.
That’s called learning.
If most experts in a field reach similar conclusions, your first question shouldn’t be, “Why are they all left-wing?” It should be, “What do they know that I don’t?”
This really isn’t the flex you think it is.

Your median professor sits so far left that AOC, Sanders, and Warren would count as moderates in any faculty lounge. Faculty from 55 elite universities form one towering blue spike of ideology far out on the left, density exploding past 6, with virtually nothing on the conservative side. This was built through decades of selective hiring, social enforcement, and the systematic purge of dissent. And because they credential the people who run media, law, government, and tech, the monoculture leaks into every elite institution downstream.

@skiingmammoth There’s some irony in that song (and my quoting it) that maybe you’re missing.
But, yes, I agree with you 100%

And then? It never works. Again.
And so, we keep revisiting this socialist/communist b.s. over and over. And keep tallying up millions upon millions of dead bodies over the last 130 years.

@MAGA_X_Times @AprilSpark1890 @ICEgov Nit to pick: you said “minivan” in your post, the witness says “car” and it was, in fact, a car - compact sedan.
