Many immigrants come to America because their nations of origin suck. But when they come to America they do not want to adapt to the norms that make America not suck, prefering to keep those norms that made their home countries suck. These people should stay in Suckistan.

“We don't ask Republicans to "assimilate" into American liberal culture.” Yes you do!

@shadihamid it's really simple, shadi: immigrants are welcome to move to america provided they want to become us. if they don't — if islam is incompatible with assimilation, as you say — you are not making an argument against assimilation. you are making an argument against immigration.

GOP House Rep. Maria Salazar needs to be stripped of leadership roles and given a dressing down by House Republicans. Her support for giving amnesty (legal status and work rights!) to up to 45 million illegal immigrants should disqualify her from ever running on the GOP ticket again. If Republicans want to get serious about winning, we need standards for who we allow in the GOP. Amnesty for illegals is out of bounds and it's time for some party discipline. Enough.

The Dignity Act is mass amnesty and would constitute a terrible betrayal of our voters.

Legacy media’s last big hurrah was COVID and ‘Russia collusion.’ Thy did a terrible job, completely discrediting themselves. And then from 2020-2024 they tried to convince us Joe Biden was totally fine. Maybe the reason legacy media engagement is so low is no one trusts them.

The dorks who found reasons to be cynical and critical about this mission look dumber by the day. This whole thing has been so cool. The crew has been sharing the Gospel the entire time. And now this moment. If you can't be inspired by this, you're dead inside. An empty vessel.

If NATO is gone, Argentina is definitely invading to retake the Falkland Islands. With Chagos, Starmer completely torched the deterrence Thatcher built with the last war. And Milei could easily take it. Britain can’t do anything. No ships. Now all of LATAM now recognizes Malvinas as Argentina’s. With them also becoming one of America’s most loyal ally, chances are high the U.S. stays out and lets it happen

@MaxNordau They forget that Bobby Kennedy was killed by a Palestinian for supporting Israel

Parents who abandoned their child in the street are now heroes to the liberal media because Trump said abandoning your kid is wrong. Can't make it up. Amazingly, in this video, Liam's mother admits she didn't open the door to her own child and admits they are economic migrants, not asylum seekers. Another liberal media hoax bites the dust.

The comments prove the ukrainians can't take a joke

I'm sorry but Spiderman being the voice of reason is objectively funny.

NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets. The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural. Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they evolved past the Americans protecting them. That identity is now the single biggest obstacle to Western survival. And the darkest irony is: we helped build it. After World War II, Europe wasn’t just economically shattered. Its culture was in ruins. The cities, the universities, the concert halls, the museums. Rubble. The Marshall Plan rebuilt the economy. But culture wasn’t a priority. Not at first. Then the Iron Curtain dropped. And suddenly culture became a weapon. American diplomats, academics, artists & scholars flooded Western Europe. We funded their universities. Supported their orchestras. Rebuilt their museums. Promoted their intellectual life. Not because European culture needed saving for its own sake. Because Eastern Europeans were struggling for Maslow’s mist basic needs. We needed the view from the other side of that Wall to be intoxicating. So America built Western Europe into a showcase of self-actualization. Art. Philosophy. Cafe culture. Long vacations. Universities where people studied literature instead of surviving. We were manufacturing jealousy. And it worked. The Wall came down. But here’s what no one accounted for. When you give a society self-actualization on someone else’s tab long enough, they forget it was a gift. They start believing it was organically theirs. And when they look at the country that funded it all, a country busy building aircraft carriers and semiconductor fabs and shale fields instead of reaching the Maslow’s pinnacle. An overweight American in a ball cap who can’t tell Monet from Pissarro. Who eats fast food. Who drives a truck. Who builds strip malls instead of piazzas. And to a culture trained in aesthetics but stripped of strategic awareness, that American looks uncivilized. So the arrogance takes root. And once a culture decides another is beneath them, they stop listening. Americans say wars are sometimes necessary: crude. Oil is the backbone of prosperity: unsophisticated. Kids build companies in garages that reshape the planet: crass. Wall Street finances the global economy: vulgar. Europe has no world-class technology sector. No military capable of strong defense. No energy independence. No AI capacity. What Europe has is culture. The culture we paid for at the expense of us reaching Maslow’s pinnacle. For decades that was fine. We funded the museums, protected the sea lanes, and tolerated the sneering because the arrangement worked. Then Europeans stopped keeping the contempt private. They started saying it to our faces. In their media. In their parliaments. At every international forum. “Americans are stupid. Americans are violent. Americans are a threat to democracy.” We could have moved the Louvre to NY. We could have built a Venice here. We could have stolen your best artists, designers, philosophers and more… like your conquering armies did for centuries. Instead we funded them. And all we asked for in return was to let us visit. You don’t have the military to defend your borders. You don’t have the technology to compete. You don’t have the energy to heat your homes without begging dictators. What you have is an 80-year superiority complex FUNDED BY AMERICANS, protected by American soldiers, and built on the false belief that self-actualization is civilization. It isn’t. Civilization is the ability to sustain itself. By that measure, Europe isn’t a civilization at all. It’s a dependency with better wine. That’s not a threat. It’s a weather report. Build a Navy. Or don’t. But stop lecturing the people who made you “better than us” Our “crudeness” our “stunted liberal education” our “ugly strip malls” are because we sacrificed our culture to support yours.

The executive branch can kidnap a head of state, extract downed pilots via building airstrips under fire, and send men to the moon, all within four months. The legislature hasn't passed a regular budget in 15 years and the judiciary is arguing over whether citizenship exists.

This is exactly the person George Orwell wrote about

A bit misleading! She ends like this: “Perhaps this is too dark a message to share on Easter morning, but I have long believed that we miss out on fully celebrating resurrection if we do not acknowledge the feelings of loss, pain, and yes, death. It is the darkness that makes this morning’s light so magnificent, so blindingly beautiful. It is all the brighter because it is so desperately needed.”

in case you were wondering how our quest to shift the overton window was going: this is the first time ever that the democrats have posted an easter tweet with the graphic featuring a cross.

Moonshot. Soldier rescued. NYT doesn’t know what NATO stands for. Glorious few days we’ve had.
