You'll notice no one flees to Africa, the Middle East, India. Why? Because White cultures are superior. What makes the superior? White European Christians. End of fucking story.

@StefanMolyneux This is a constant theme now in TV shows. It’s completely unrealistic in historical dramas like Count but even shows set in the current day strain credulity with their consistent use of this device. It’s very off putting.

Freedomain - with Stefan Molyneux, MA
I started the Count of Monte Cristo with high hopes for historical European authenticity. Tapped out at the first interracial romance.

@Tablesalt13 Canadians are quite obviously lacking in intelligence and in the instinct of self preservation.

I cant believe that Canadians voted for the same party FOUR TIMES in a row that saw the largest decline in happiness in the history of Canada -- down 20 spots. Only sub-Saharan Africa saw similar declines. "but Poilievre said biological clock!"

@RodneyMarshall1 In whatever color, it’s great, especially if you overlook its drastically undersized luggage space for two guys traveling across the country!😄

George Maharis: "A lot of people are under the impression that the Corvette was red. It never was. It was light blue in the pilot and early episodes, and then it was beige. They found that the blue color shot in black-and-white would reflect too much light." #Route66

Eric Swalwell is not LEGALLY allowed to run for Governor of California. He must declare he has been a California resident for AT LEAST 5 years. He has LEGALLY declared his DC condo to be his primary residence since he purchased it in 2020.

Dear Cadbury, “From Cadbury this season.” What season? Go on, say it. It’s EASTER. You are selling EASTER eggs for the EASTER SEASON. How dare you profit off a Christian holiday while erasing its Christian origins. They are Easter eggs. It is Easter. Shame on you.

@Wurmserscribit It is definitely time for Europe to step forward and actively engage to end this evil Islamic regime.

Iran just blew Oman oil storage. It issued a threat to Doha. And they are trying all day to strike Dimona in israel, and we all know what they were targeting. They have drawn blood in Israel tonight. Simply, Iran is now going full Samson option But keep in mind, it means they know it’s the Samson moment. It means they know their days are numbered and they want to tear down everything they can on the way down. Like Hitler ordered Paris detonated (his commanders didn’t follow the order) or in the end said let Berlin be destroyed. Probably the wrong saying for that part of the world, but it’s part the approaching Samson Option moment and part a Hail Mary pass that in the destruction, they hope we will lose nerve. In that vein, I strongly suspect they will lash out at the weak link from which the lost nerves are likeliest to come: Europe itself, such as Rome or Paris. But israel was wounded tonight. It will not back off. Nor do I suspect President Trump would. And the Gulf Arabs are at their last molecule of patience with Iran. So from Muscat to Jerusalem, a consensus to go all the way no holds-barred has emerged. Europe won’t be heard if it loses nerve. Like the Iranian people themselves, the greatest victims, the mood is emerging everywhere to just do whatever it now takes to bring the tyrants down as fast as possible. It often looks darkest before dawn, but one thing is clear; these are acts of despair by a dying gang of tyrants, not the product of confidence or sage strategy.

@OgWolf55 The concept of a standard, full size sedan equipped with a powerful fire breathing engine and a 4-speed makes these early muscle cars fascinating.

There were over 4,000 driver-in theaters in the US in the 1950s, the height of their popularity. Today, there are about 300. Who has seen a movie at a drive-in?

The POW Who Kept His Promise to the Kaiser. In 1914, British Captain Robert Campbell of the East Surrey Regiment was severely wounded and captured by German forces just weeks into World War I. For two long years, he languished in the Magdeburg prisoner-of-war camp, completely cut off from his family. In late 1916, Campbell received devastating news: his mother in England was dying of cancer. Desperate to see her one last time, he took a wildly improbable shot in the dark. He wrote a personal letter directly to Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, begging for a brief compassionate leave. Astonishingly, the Kaiser personally granted the request. The German leader offered Campbell two weeks of leave to visit his dying mother in Kent, on one single condition. Campbell had to give his "word as a British officer" that he would voluntarily return to the enemy prison camp when the fortnight was up. Campbell traveled across war-torn Europe by boat and train, reached his family home in Gravesend, and spent a precious final week with his mother before she passed away. He then did the unthinkable: he kissed his remaining family goodbye, packed his bags, and traveled right back to Germany. Honoring his word, Captain Campbell walked directly back into the Magdeburg POW camp and surrendered himself to his captors. He spent the next two years imprisoned until the war finally ended in 1918, proving that for some men, honor holds far more weight than freedom.

I am a white man born in Scotland (hey! no booing at that back!) I'm not particularly religious or have any objection to other religions as long as they keep themselves to themselves. The UK is a Christian faith built society. Not an Islamic one. Not a Hindu, Sikh or Buddhist one. Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhist fully understand this. They live their own life mindful of their host country and the religious foundation it is built on and was attractive to them. Why is it only the followers of Islam that cannot understand they are guests in the UK and have at no time be requested to change British society?

According to the left, any videos predating today are right wing propaganda. They actually just don’t want you to remember what was stolen.

@MichaelARothman @Gigiluvs2020 The depths to which the Democrats will go to oppose Trump obviously have no bottom. Because Trump wants a strong and successful America, they actively fight to bring America down. The party really needs to disappear.

𝗧𝗢 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚 𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗧 𝗔𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 "𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗠𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗬": 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗗. The Iran war has done something no political consultant could have engineered. It has stripped the Democratic Party down to its bare operating principle — in front of everyone — in real time. For years the hypocrisy was easier to hide. They could talk about human rights in the abstract. Democracy in theory. Women's rights as a campaign slogan. But the moment the United States moved to destroy a regime that has been murdering its own people since 1979 — a regime that k!lls women for removing their hijabs, that hangs teenage wrestlers in public squares, that has financed every major terror network on earth for 47 years — the Democratic Party had a choice. Side with the Iranian people fighting for secular democratic freedom. Or side against Trump. They chose against Trump. Which this time meant siding with the IRGC. And people finally saw it. Here's the ideology that produced that outcome. The Democratic Party's entire worldview runs on a single binary: oppressor versus oppressed. America is the oppressor. Therefore anyone fighting America is the oppressed — even when they are the ones doing the murdering and oppressing. The IRGC hangs protesters in the streets and the left categorizes them as victims because they are anti-American. That is not a political position. That is a moral illness. The Iranian people are in the streets. They are getting shot. They have been sacrificing their lives for secular democratic freedom — the exact values the American left claims to champion. The left's response before the U.S. attacked: silence. The moment the U.S. attacked to help end the regime oppressing them: outrage. That sequence tells you everything about what the party has become. When your entire ideology collapses into opposition to one person, you no longer have an ideology. You have nothing. And the war with Iran proved it in real time — not because anyone set a trap, but because the moment demanded a real answer and the party gave the only answer it has left. Whatever Trump does is bad. Even when what Trump did was strike the regime that has been murdering Americans and oppressing Iranians for nearly five decades. If you are a lifelong Democrat feeling politically homeless tonight — you did not abandon your party. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂.
