The progressive public thinks conservatives are evil, the conservative public thinks progressives are naive.
However, this is inverted at the leadership level. Progressive politicians are actually evil and conservative politicians are actually naive.
If conservative leaders don’t start treating the progressive threat like the nation-destroying cult that it is, we won’t have a nation and we will Balkanize.

Nike CEO vents as company struggles to regain footing after disappointing profits : ‘I’m so tired’ | Ariel Zilber, New York Post
Anxiety is reportedly spreading at Nike as executives are telling employees to curb excess spending in the midst of disappointing earnings, which sent the storied company’s stock plummeting by 14% on Wednesday afternoon.
Elliott Hill, the veteran Nike honcho who came out of retirement to assume the chief executive role, pleaded with employees to help turn the footwear giant around during an all-hands meeting on Tuesday, according to Bloomberg News.
“I’m so tired, and I know you are too, of talking about fixing this business,” he was quoted as saying.
“I want to move to inspiring and driving growth and having fun.”
Nike CFO Matthew Friend warned employees to tighten spending as the company grapples with a faltering turnaround, telling staff they must be disciplined about where money is allocated because the business “is not moving in the right direction,” according to a recording of the meeting.
“We’re going to be managing costs carefully as we have been doing,” the CFO said.
“I realize that that creates a tension inside, but I just need you to know that the reason why that tension is there is because our business is not moving in the right direction.”
Nike beat Wall Street expectations in its latest quarter, posting earnings of 35 cents per share on $11.28 billion in revenue, but profits plunged 35% year over year as margins shrank under pressure from higher tariffs and discounting, according to results released Tuesday.
The company delivered a mixed regional picture, with North America revenue rising 3% to $5.03 billion while greater China — a key growth engine — continued to deteriorate, with sales falling 7% to $1.62 billion despite topping analyst estimates.
Investors zeroed in on Nike’s weak outlook, which overshadowed the earnings beat and sent shares sharply lower.
The company warned that sales will drop 2% to 4% in the current quarter and decline for the rest of the calendar year, driven in part by an expected 20% plunge in China.
Over the past five years, Nike’s financial performance has been marked by stagnation at the top line and a sharp erosion in profitability.
“If Nike’s recovery is a marathon rather than a sprint, then the company seems to be hitting a wall,” wrote Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell.
“Pleas for patience from CEO Elliott Hill, a Nike lifer who returned from retirement to lead the company, are falling on deaf ears.”
Nike’s stock has fallen by more than 65% since April 2021. The Post has sought comment from the company.

🚨 LOCKDOWNS ARE COMING — THIS TIME THEY’RE USING FUEL AS THE TRIGGER
"GET READY."
A man just showed proof on camera… and it’s setting off alarm bells.
Not rumors.
Not guesses.
Actual contingency plans.
Already being discussed behind the scenes.
Here’s what’s on the table:
• Mandatory work-from-home days
• Nationwide speed restrictions
• Controlled driving (odd/even license plates)
• Heavy push into public transport + carpooling
• Coordinated response tied to global fuel supply
All reportedly aligned with emergency frameworks from the International Energy Agency.
Now connect this:
• Escalating tensions involving Iran
• Growing fears around fuel shortages
• Governments preparing for “worst-case scenarios”
He says this feels exactly like February 2020… right before everything changed.
Quiet preparation moving in the background.
The kind that doesn’t get explained until it’s already happening.
It’s not being framed as a lockdown.
It’s being framed as a “fuel response.”
Same playbook… different reason.
At what point do “temporary measures” turn into full control again?

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso.
The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes.
About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds.
Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts.
A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe.
And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence.
Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome.
Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself.
Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game.
This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first.
The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America.
Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

Patriots HC now implies that Christians are not “educated”. The major sports leagues have a serious anti-Christian culture problem in management. Perhaps players like @TreVeyonH4 and Jaden Ivey should educate THEM.

It is absolutely humiliating that Europe’s far-right is outpacing its center-left in the articulation of “sovereign foreign policy.”

The leader of the biggest opposition party, the far-right AfD, is calling for the withdrawal of US troops from Germany. Although US President Donald Trump himself has talked about this, it is unlikely to happen.

@realpeteyb123 Is there any way of getting their attention besides letting the Democrats win?
Seems to me they’re winning anyway (policy-wise) if nothing changes.

Nobody in their right mind should be voting for a Democrat.
That’s a catastrophe.
Nobody should be voting with anyone that aligns with the Islamic regime.
We need to demand, and ask more from the Republicans.
We have had enough.
Peter B@realpeteyb123
The Republican Party runs on a simple pitch: we’re nothing special, but the Democratic Party would be worse. Many accept that. It only works until you drift into the same degeneracy and madness but in different forms. That’s where we are.

@StrategicWin5 @Kiradavis @kelliwardaz One Christian lady decides to become religious after seeing many Muslims use airport prayer area. While thousands of other Christians at the airport never showed up to the prayer area. This is not about faith it’s just her hatred.

I have a habit of stopping by airport chapels when I have the time. Most of them have closed down in the US in major airports, but DFW reopened theirs and they’re basically mosques. I had a very uncomfortable experience praying in the chapel on Palm Sunday, but I refused to leave while the Muslims were being so nasty. I refused to leave what is meant to be a temple of the Lord, especially on Palm Sunday. I had a long layover so I waited them out. One man grew frustrated after about 30 minutes and left, but not before others came in. They were clearly having conversations about me in Arabic. They weren’t being shy about letting me know they were talking about me. But I sat and prayed and read the Bible and I did not leave until the last Muslim had cleared out. It was actually a very scary experience given how isolated the chapel was, but I think we need to start staking ground.

The vast data centers that power artificial intelligence guzzle huge amounts of energy but they also have another alarming impact, according to new research. They are creating “heat islands,” warming the land around them by up to 16 degrees Fahrenheit, and making life hotter for more than 340 million people. cnn.it/4rZSiG5

The Trump administration argues the 14th Amendment does not apply to people in the country illegally or on temporary visas.
If the Supreme Court agrees, it could render hundreds of thousands of children born to immigrant parents stateless. wapo.st/4bU0d1Q

@CCW4COs The Catholic Church has waged hundred of wars across Europe and the Middle East.
The Church financed and provided soldiers for every Crusade.
The Church condemned and excommunicated everybody who challenged their authority...in a lot of cases they executed people as heretics.
