@infantrydort Meritocracy is the implicit operating system of the USA. It's embedded into the Constitution. The suicidal empathy crowd sees it as a flaw. The deconstructionists see it as an attack vector.

@RepDebDingell This kind of shit has been happening for many years. Don't pretend it's new because orange man.

The administration stopped monitoring foodborne illness, and now it’s turning into a shitty situation for Michiganders.
I’m going to be leading an oversight effort demanding answers from the CDC on why they weren’t prepared and how they plan to respond.

Chinese cars are a national security threat. We cannot let them map our country and send sensitive information back to China.
That’s what our Protecting America from Chinese Cars Act is all about.

@amitisinvesting Trump changed his mind. Wow. Sure wish we had Biden back, he would do something stupid and never change it.

This is like an old SNL skit.....When SNL was funny.

Isn’t it weird how little vitriol most people have for Fauci even after we all know he actually invented the COVID virus & 100% lied about it? Also 100% lied about it causing the Covid pandemic.
People who wanted your kids taken away if you didn’t give them a completely unnecessary vaxx, wanted you to be unable to work & support your family, have zero animosity toward the mad scientist & criminal who is responsible for all this?
I know it has to do with their beliefs about Trump Bad & Fauci (science) good.
Those are load bearing beliefs. If you take those beliefs away their entire world view & self identity will collapse.
It’s a definite flaw in what seems like the majority of humans. It should be studied, cuz it certainly seems like something that makes human extinction possible.
Rand Paul@RandPaul
For years, Anthony Fauci funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, then lied about it. Declassified documents show he didn't just fund it, he personally shaped what the intelligence community told the American people about COVID's origins. 18 agencies relied on his guidance. On July 29th at 10 am, he will testify publicly before my Committee because the American people deserve the truth once and for all.

These are foundations with empathetic sounding missions, that often fund nutty woke politics. Grok:
Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation
The largest of the four, it primarily funds reproductive health, family planning, and abortion access globally, along with education (including scholarships for Nebraska students) and poverty alleviation. Named after Warren Buffett’s late wife, it emphasizes women’s rights and evidence-based public health initiatives.
Sherwood Foundation
Led by Susie Buffett, it focuses on making Nebraska (especially Omaha) more equitable. Grants support public education, child/family welfare, human services, social justice, arts, behavioral health, and community programs. It prioritizes local nonprofits addressing unmet needs in education and equity.
Howard G. Buffett Foundation
Led by Howard Buffett, it targets global food security, conflict mitigation, water security, and countering human trafficking. It invests in high-risk areas to improve living standards for the world’s poorest and most marginalized populations, often in Africa and Latin America.
NoVo Foundation
Led by Peter Buffett, it promotes leadership of girls and women, gender equity, and ending violence against women/girls. It also supports systemic change in education, social justice, and indigenous rights through catalytic grants and partnerships.

WARREN BUFFETT JUST GAVE AWAY 12 MILLION SHARES OF BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY STOCK
Buffett gave
- 9 Million shares of $BRK.B to the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation
- 1 Million shares to the Sherwood Foundation
- 1 Million shares to the Howard G. Buffett Foundation
- 1 Million shares to the Novo Foundation
12 Million shares of Berkshire Hathaway is currently worth around $6 Billion

@RepHaleyStevens No one gives a fuck about your stupid feckless “Hold ICE Accountable” bullshit. The agency is rotten to the core and must be ABOLISHED
English
@Cathy44365595 @RepHaleyStevens Sorry the guy got killed. I avoid interfering with LEOs doing their job, and it helps me avoid getting killed. You should try it!
English
@PowderkegPro99 @RepHaleyStevens Well, this guy came to mind. Someone who isn’t a racist piece of trash anyway.
English
ICE agents have now shot and killed two people in the past week. The blatant disregard for human life from Donald Trump's ICE is horrifying and outrageous.
This is exactly why I wrote the Hold ICE Accountable Act—everyone at ICE, from the bottom to the top, must be held accountable for crimes they commit. The families deserve justice.

@DagarothB @johnkonrad They could accept a bad username and reject after pw is entered.
UI/UX design is maybe why they changed it.
English
Another pet peeve. Websites that make you type a username, submit it, and then ask for the password.
NO, thats security 101. Username and password together. Fail to login if either are bad. DO NOT say which one is bad. After the login, ask for 2fa. When did they start getting so lax
English
Is it just me, or are a lot of websites making logins absurd?
“Approve this sign-in in the app.”
Okay… but the app isn’t signed in either.
So I log into the app with a 2FA code, go back to the website, and then it sends another approval request to the app.
Why can’t I just put the 2FA code into the website directly?
Who designed this?
English
@Cathy44365595 @RepHaleyStevens Sure. Over forty years of paying taxes and obeying all the laws, I should definitely be replaced. Who do you have in mind?
English
@PowderkegPro99 @RepHaleyStevens I mean…you’re precisely the kind of piece of shit who needs to be replaced and I couldn’t be prouder of the small part that I’ve played in making sure that happens

@DavidBCollum This persistently high inflation is corrosive to people. It burns to pay 1.5x or 2x for something you remember lower prices of, recently.

Just went to the grocery store. Not a fancy one, a generic one. The sliced turkey was $14.99/lb. There were several choices; they were all $14.99/lb. How do the people working in that store afford to eat.
English
ICE is a great law enforcement agency.
This is why I love First World countries. Here in the First World, we burden LEOs with so many rules and regulations and laws they have to enforce, we give them Qualified Immunity. It helps keep parasitic immigration attorneys like yourself at bay.
The way we hang onto our First World Country status, BTW, is to stop importing 3rd world people. It is amazing how the koolaid drinkers are oblivious how immigration has been weaponized against them, and they cheer for the invaders.

Go on Indeed and search for entry level welding jobs. The listings are sparse and the starting pay is about the same as a job chopping fries at In-N-Out.
Something is not adding up with this narrative.

HONEST QUESTION:
We hear it declared all the time that "Diversity is our strength"
Is it?
More options do not necessarily = better options
Wouldn't a better mantra be "Let the best option win, no matter where/whom it comes from"?
IMO, America's success so far has not been due to the "melting pot" per se, but rather because it didn't discriminate against whomever was putting forth the best idea (i.e., ANYONE could excel, not just a restricted class)
To focus on diversity misses the mark. It assumes variety results in better outcomes. It does not necessarily. For example, recruiting shorter people onto your NBA roster for the sake of height diversity will not automatically make the team more competitive -- in fact, quite the opposite.
Instead, we should focus on unfettered merit. Performance & ideas from anyone, anywhere should compete, free of bias -- and let the best win out.
To those who may be inclined to dredge up the "This is racist!" trope -- it is not. It is the OPPOSITE of racist. It is a source-blind approach that allows ALL to compete, evenly.

@TFL1728 Principles are just stories, he says. States are just stories. Sounds like a message to his followers, to tear these things down.

Here’s a story I made up.
You’re not human
#𝕎𝕒𝕣 ℍ𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕫𝕠𝕟@WarHorizon
WEF Advisor Yuval Noah Harari Says That Human Rights Are Fiction and should not exist. "Many, perhaps most, legal systems are based on this idea - the belief in human rights. But human rights are like heaven and God. It's just a fictional story"

@laralogan The mismanagement of Europe is the biggest problem in the world. They'll provoke another war to avoid recognition of their policy failures. They need to turn the ship, hard.

This makes me want to vomit. But it has to be said and it has to be known. It is too large, went on for too long and is too brutal to be swept under the rug. Rape is how you alter bloodlines, culture & identity. It is how you conquer a nation. It is a weapon of war. And always has been.
Tomasz Froelich@TomaszFroelich
🚨The Most Brutal AfD Speech of All Time? Grooming Scandal Reaches the European Parliament‼️ These were harsh words, but they needed to be said: “250,000 white underage girls were systematically sexually exploited for decades by grooming gangs in Britain. The girls were deliberately targeted by their abusers, manipulated, plied with drugs, beaten, strangled, tortured, burned with cigarettes, and repeatedly raped. Their tormentors called them ‘white slags’, ‘white whores’, ‘white cunts’, ‘white trash’ and ‘kuffar slags’. Among the victims was Chloe, just twelve years old. She was given whiskey before being raped. When the perpetrator was finished, he forced an empty whiskey bottle into her vagina, where it shattered. Kate, in turn, was raped by a dog while Pakistani men placed bets on whether the dog would penetrate her vagina or her anus. The entire ordeal was filmed, and Kate was forced to watch the recording over and over again. This imported horror is not a collection of isolated cases — it happened on a scale of hundreds of thousands. Police, politicians, the media, and MeToo feminists — they all stayed silent. Why? To avoid accusations of racism. So-called anti-racism has, in practice, become cowardly racism against whites, suicidal empathy for foreign rapists at the expense of white girls.”
