@AleaeDr @bullfrog35 @DataRepublican @OwannaVictory @J_P1776 Does adding funding to a group make them more prevalent?

@bullfrog35 @DataRepublican @OwannaVictory @J_P1776 That cleared up any confusion I might get have had.

🧵🚨 THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus "democracy" ecosystem 🚨 11 federal counts. Wire fraud. Money laundering conspiracy. But here's what the SPLC headlines are missing: • The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right • That informant "helped coordinate transportation" to the rally... at SPLC's direction • There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator • His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car • The indictment says postings were made "under the supervision of the SPLC" • Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine • SPLC installed itself as that machine's definitional gatekeeper I report. You draw your own conclusions. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

@RepThomasMassie Yes, #MassieIsNOTtheEnemy

The GOP is soon going to wish they hadn’t wasted all that donor money in an effort to shrink the tent. thehill.com/homenews/house…

@aptera_motors Mint Green

Who's going to be the first to guess what color this vehicle is?

@hodads1502 Anyone have photos of Hodad's when it was in the flower barrel in El Cajon?

How many workers at Oak Ridge in WWII are a live today?

@C_3C_3 Are your run of the mill churches counted as these NGO?

Want to hear something crazy? There is a NGO/nonprofit for every 175 people in California. There is $15,443 in NGO/nonprofit money handled per person in California. Imagine the fraud. Insane.

More Vintage Computing museums should rent out cloud access to their rare hardware. SDF (Super Dimension Fortress) does it, and it’s freaking awesome. I’m literally logged into a Sun SPARCstation…anyone can do this for free, right now. Just SSH in.

As I walked past the Capitol this morning, I couldn’t help but notice the ironic presence of a garbage truck as two members resign in disgrace and shame.

@tellomobile Your "everything"?

@CNviolations Which one?

We need more of this 🙌

Roberto’s, a beloved San Diego taco shop that has been around since I was a kid is getting targeted over their political views. It’s 6 am but I’m ordering 3 rolled tacos with guac and a carne asada burrito to support freedom

@RepThomasMassie @JoleneA1 @Enquirer How can they not know that #MassieIsNOTtheEnemy

.@JoleneA1 of the Cincinnati @Enquirer visited my farm recently. In exchange for Jolene not covering her ears during my mediocre banjo playing, I agreed to answer a few out-of-the-box questions she had.

@aptera_motors Stable & repeatable, yet?

Lots of great progress on the validation line this week. Drop some encouragement in the comments for our technicians putting in the hard work! 💚

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.
