Not to sound like a woke libtard SJW cultural marxist critical race theorist white genocider, but it is genuinely remarkable how, while never accounting for more than a quarter of the population, Black Americans invented pretty much every major genre of American popular music

We found that the purpose of the assault wasn't to inflict high casualties, but rather to show how little control the Pakistani military had on certains areas of the province. It took the military 2+ days to fully secure a paramilitary camp attacked by the BLA, for instance. For hours, as well, BLA fighters mingled with the crowds, visibly unperturbed, after attacking banks, prisons or police stations.

This is fantasyland stuff. Mike Lee proposed the biggest federal lands sale in recent history, focusing on the most valuable parcels closer to cities, and it was scored it at $5-10 billion over a decade (a lot less than $36 trillion).
