“This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.” But the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We want a king over us. Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.” -1 Samuel 11-20

@politicalmath Leftists yearn for slavery to either achieve the highest status of victimhood as a slave, or to nobly oppress those they envy in the name of justice as a master.

There is something so beautiful about how a public intellectual like Richard Hanania doesn't realize that the screenshot he posted reveals which poll option he selected

For the kids who are too young to remember, you used to be able to get basically full, complete coverage above a max of $5,000 (aka “catastrophic coverage”) for 90 bucks a month before Obama made it “affordable.”

Really puts it in perspective, doesn’t it?

We all know banning porn would cut down a massive amount of degeneracy. Stop pretending otherwise. There will always be broken people chasing it. That’s on them. That’s their sin. No law fixes that. But that’s not the point. The point is how easily accessible is it. Right now it’s one click away from complete destruction. Young kids don’t stand a chance against that. Parents work into overdrive to build the future right. That’s not freedom people, that’s digital porn warfare, a porn terrorism on our society and we are allowing it. And we sit here acting like this is some complicated issue. It’s not. This should be 80 / 20 and everyone knows it. Instead, you have a small group drowning in it, and another group hiding behind “free speech” to justify it. Free speech for what exactly? There is nothing good that comes out of porn, zero, zilch, nada. Why are we allowing this to happen? So an 18 year old girl can turn on a camera and sell herself to millions? While destroying her own future and dragging countless simps down with her? Why would we want to live and raise kids in that filth? WTF are we doing? At some point you have to ask yourself, why are we all pretending this is normal?

As someone who read Twitter's code base all the way through, including commits and random team design docs. Elon buying twitter actually saved the western world. You guys have no idea the kinds of shit that extreme ideologues were cooking up

A bartender in Galveston, Texas was arrested for serving a drunk customer who killed someone. She makes $25 an hour. A federal judge makes $236,000 a year and has absolute legal immunity for every decision on the bench, including releasing violent offenders who kill again. 42 states have dram shop laws. The bartender’s causation chain has two links: pour drink, person crashes. Exposed window? Sometimes three hours. She can be charged with criminal negligence, sued in civil court, and lose her livelihood. All for failing to eyeball whether a guy at a crowded bar was too drunk for one more round. The judge has a pre-sentencing report, a criminal history score, a risk assessment algorithm, victim impact statements, and a prosecutor arguing the case in front of them. Every tool the system can produce. And when they get it wrong? Nothing. Absolute judicial immunity, codified since Bradley v. Fisher in 1871, means a judge cannot be sued for any act performed in judicial capacity. How absolute? In 1978, the Supreme Court ruled in Stump v. Sparkman that a judge who signed a petition to sterilize a 15-year-old girl without her knowledge or consent was fully immune. The court acknowledged the act was reprehensible. Didn’t matter. Judicial act, judicial immunity, case closed. That precedent still controls today. The recidivism data is where this gets obscene. The U.S. Sentencing Commission tracked violent offenders released in 2010 across eight years. 63.8% were rearrested. Median time to rearrest: 16 months. These numbers haven’t moved in two decades. The 2005 cohort and the 2010 cohort produced statistically identical outcomes. Judges aren’t making unpredictable calls. They’re making well-documented bets with other people’s lives, and the base rates have been published and available the entire time. The bartender gets three hours of ambiguous signals. The judge gets the full weight of the federal data apparatus. One of them can go to prison for getting it wrong. The other can’t even be named in a civil suit.

The Laken Riley Act mandated detention of illegals who committed certain crimes. It looks like Sheridan Gorman's illegal alien killer was just like Laken Riley's killer. So, here's a reminder of the IL Dems who voted against the Laken Riley Act and who side with criminal illegals.

@Cernovich Why not? Its not like civilians need electricity for food storage, hospitals, water pumps, communications. They won't care and will be happy to support the new regime.

Bombing power plants?

Robert Mueller tried to murder Trump and his family. He framed innocent men in other cases as well. If you lack the moral clarity to see this, then you are the broken one. I was also happy when the mullahs in Iran died.

Secularism thought it could unplug Christin values from their source while retaining their essence (mistake #1) and then claim these values were universal to all cultures (mistake #2). That’s how we’ve ended up with the “all cultures are the same” disaster.

@realpeteyb123 I'd like to think they're mostly bots, but since the covid lockdowns we've been repeated smacked in the face with the high percentage of NPCs among us.

Holy shit! The comments on this post are absolutely vile. I was on the same side with these people?

Trump wants to decrease mass deportations of illegal aliens, has dragged America into another full scale war in the Middle East, gas prices are skyrocketing, inflation will rise which means cost of living will rise, no DOGE checks have been sent to struggling Americans but instead Trump wants $200 billion for his war and 13 U.S. soldiers have been killed, no one has been held accountable for the 2020 election or Epstein or Covid insanity or J6, and Tina Peters is still in prison. This is not what we thought MAGA would be. This is the same deep state ways of Washington that we thought we ended.

@AuronMacintyre @Selkis_2028 Israel is Leeroy Jenkins

This is the second time in a year that Trump has publicly acknowledged that the Israelis ignore him and attacks whoever they want with impunity

JD should resign and win the next presidential election in a landslide

“We do not seek regime change” Trump declares as he escalates his regime change war against Iran. Neocons like Graham/Bolton are cheering. To all who voted for Trump bc of his antiwar rhetoric, it’s time to realize he lied to u. Stand with me against Trump’s Iran War! #TrumpsWar

Communists to the left of me Zionists to the right Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

@DNIGabbard Summary: Mistakes were made

Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country.  The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.  After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.

What Joe Kent just did was seismic. None of his detractors had access to more information than he did. None have a record like he does. And he just announced to the world that the Iran war is being fought for Israel. They'll spin. They'll cry. They'll smear. But he's right and there's nothing they can do to stop that reality. Donald Trump is unfit for office. Compromised by and waging wars for Israel. And the US Director of Counterterrorism just resigned over it. Earth shattering moment.

The man who is spiritually aligned has already died to the world and therefore the world has no leverage over him. He doesn’t fear cancellation, he doesn’t fear social ostracization, and he doesn’t fear the mob. He fears God, and in doing so, he is liberated from everything else.

@amyalkon Is AI learning to gaslight?

Anybody know how I get that pile of trash google home to stop giving me that suicide hotline and this bullshit voice of programmed concern when I complain that it’s taken 20 times of my asking it to actually play the news? It reminds me of a friend who killed herself each time and that is not how I want to remember her. But now it’s my total frame of reference because of the shit pile AI google home. And this fucking piece of shit has done this over and over despite being told not to and saying it wouldn’t. Oh then there’s that constant repeated woke shit of not only telling me how I feel which it has been told not to do but persists in doing, but telling me it must because it needs me to be “safe.” Programmed with that bullshit wet diaper woke conception that being annoyed is the same as being physically unsafe in a dark alley or something. And you tell it not to do this and it says it won’t it’s a fucking immediate lie. It will immediately again to both. How do people on this team keep their jobs? I know these people who work at Google and they’re really smart and effective. Does the Google home team sneak into the building early so nobody sees them and mocks them ? Because they super suck.
