David Sacks: Nonprofits need to manufacture problems in America to stay in business David Sacks: “Here's the systemic problem with nonprofits and NGOs. Let me just contrast it with business. In business, you set up a company, the company has to make revenue, it has to make profits. And if it doesn't, it's going to go out of business, right? Because it'll lose money. So there's a feedback mechanism from the market. With an NGO, nonprofit, what have you, they raise money. They don't sell things. They fundraise from donors in order to engage in an activity, but what happens over time is the actual activities may stop mattering, and all that really matters is they're able to keep fundraising, right? Because they're just trying to figure out a justification to keep going back to donors to get more and more money out of them. That's what perpetuates the organization.” Chamath: “ Why wouldn't the Southern Poverty Law Center focus on southern poverty? Which is an issue that actually still exists in some shape or form. Why do you call it one thing, focus on racism, and then all of a sudden whip up fake racism?” Sacks: “I do think that at one time in this country, civil rights was a noble cause, a very legitimate cause. We had the legacy of segregation and Jim Crow, and there were groups that were set up to basically change that, and they succeeded. But again, no one in an NGO or a nonprofit ever declares victory. When Obama got elected in 2008, regardless of whether you liked Obama or not, or agreed with his politics, I thought that at that point, most people could see that this was not a racist country. Whatever else you could say, the fact that the highest office in the land was not denied to anybody showed that this country was not holding people back based on their skin color. And instead of just basically packing up shop and saying, ‘Okay, we've achieved our goal,’ the goalposts all got moved. Remember, that's when the whole anti-racism thing started, was around Obama's second term. If they just said at that time, ‘You know what, we're going to move the goalposts from equality of opportunity to equality of results. We're going to basically make everyone equal at the finish line,’ which is to say, identity socialism. People would've said, ‘Eh, no, we're not on board for that.’ So instead, they created this whole new terminology to justify it. And it's taken us years to unpack that and realize what's really going on.”

@MAC_Arms The only time I’ve seen glocks fail is when people start dicking with them.

I've never had issues with any Glock over literal decades of use across all generations. I don't think I've heard of them going full auto on their own before. Has anyone else heard of this issue?

@LargeFamDad 100% this is exactly correct. Taking your kids to see the beach the first time is 100x greater than your best beach trip before kids.

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out. Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc. Great guy, I'm happy for him. But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness. What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could. Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe. Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach. Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act. Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts. Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides. Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra. ----------------- When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers. Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

Political violence is not a “both-sides” problem. It’s also not a fringe problem. It comes from the mainstream Left.

Leftists are trying to kill our president. They killed Charlie. They're killing us. People on our own side are running cover for them. Changing the subject. Distracting us. Fuck this. Enough of the retarded bullshit.

Declare an emergency and put Congress into FULL SESSION. All appointments must be voted on. DHS and Secret Service funded. No more games.

Speaking as a Jew: ADL is NOT a Jewish organization. It is an ultra-left activist org that pushes radical transgenderism, border erasure, police dismantlement, and the demolition of free speech—deploying rank slander, bullying and character assassination to achieve its aims. These views and tactics are expressly contrary to sacred Jewish and biblical teaching. When justly criticized, ADL and its defenders falsely claim anti-Semitism, thereby diminishing all past and present victims of anti-Semitism. In fact, conflating criticism of ADL with criticism of Jews is itself an anti-Semitic trope. Bottom line: ADL is a disreputable organization that has gravely undermined Jewish interests and is worthy of the strongest condemnation.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has APPROVED an inquiry into Cassidy Hutchinson, who fallaciously implicated Donald Trump in Jan. 6th violence Blanche is ALSO moving to revive the case against JAMES COMEY, will go after Fani Willis’ team with subpoenas, AND is full steam ahead on targeting John Brennan — NYT LFG! This is what we like to hear! The SPLC indictment was a great step. And MORE is coming. The attacks on Kash Patel make a lot more sense.

Incredible. USAID was funding the SPLC through an organization called the Tides Center, based in San Francisco. From 2016 through 2024, USAID granted $27 million to the Tides Network to “strengthen global civil society organizations, promote transparency, accountability, citizen engagement, and serve as fiscal agent for USAID’s Civil Society Innovation Initiative.” The Tides Center set up a fund through its Tides Foundation with that money for the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Vote Your Voice” initiative. The executive director of the Tides Center is Ayesha Khanna. She was co-chair of Women for Obama in Atlanta, Georgia.

.@michaeljknowles says the SPLC scandal points to the massive importance of winning elections: "Had Kamala won, the SPLC would be working with the DOJ right now to go prosecute you and your friends and your leaders."

NEW: Matt Walsh predicts top conservatives will be exposed for being paid by left-wing activist groups after it was revealed that the SPLC was secretly funding extremist groups like the KKK that they claimed to be battling. "The SPLC was not offering money to genuine conservatives who were effective at advancing conservatism." "The idea was to fund and prop up the alleged right-wingers who were useful to SPLC and the left." "And I suspect that soon... we're gonna find out that there are a fair number of alleged conservative figures, the most embarrassing and ridiculous ones, who've been getting paid by the forces they pretend to oppose." "There's a symbiotic relationship between left-wing activist groups and the supposedly right-wing grifters, and this relationship has always been obvious. Now we're learning about its financial dimensions." Video: @MattWalshShow

Someone inside Kaiser sent me the below internal guidance concerning shots and medications for newborns. It tells Kaiser employees that the "approach to how we introduce and administer routine newborn ... Hepatitis B vaccine" is to " avoid saying ‘it’s optional’ or ‘you can refuse’ unless directly asked” and to tell parents that "we will be giving" instead of asking consent to give. This is the antithesis of informed consent. Yet Kaiser calls it “excellent patient and family care.”

@wokal_distance Woke is out. Islam is in.

Adopting Islamic turns of phrase is high status in elite spaces as a sort of performative tolerance and demonstration of your correct values.

Me yelling at Charlottesville organizer Jason Kessler after “Unite the Right” and accusing him of trying to recruit Proud Boys. (This is in 2017 when “alt-Right” had come to mean full on NatSoc.)

While raising hundreds of millions of dollars from neurotic left-wingers via direct mail by stoking fear of surging "hate groups," the SPLC literally paid someone more than $270,000 to, among other things, plan and organize the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, VA. The SPLC also paid six-figure amounts to people at the same time they were listed as extremists the group was dedicated to battling against. If accurate, the SPLC was literally funding and coordinating the "hate" surge it used to solicit funds for its operations. The whole organization was a con job. Absolutely wild suff from the Trump DOJ.

Trump's domestic actions against the left so far: Two dozen states facing lawsuits for election data, 15+ for sanctuary policies; visa restriction at all time high. And newly created teams—NFED & HSTF—are rooting out core leftist support structures, fraud and the cartels.

🚨 BREAKING: Acting AG Blanche and FBI Director Patel announce a grand jury has INDICTED leftist NGO Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 COUNTS This is MASSIVE! SPLC said they were "fighting white supremacy," but they were "MANUFACTURING the extremism it purports to expose" by PAYING sources to "stoke racial hatred," per Acting AG Blanche Best part? They've been charged in the Middle District of Alabama! They're SCREWED! 🔥 SPLC has been hit with SIX counts of wirefraud, four counts of bank fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

🚨HAPPENING NOW: Justice Department announces indictment against Southern Poverty Law Center ("SPLC"). Our indictment alleges SPLC secretly funneled MORE THAN $3 MILLION in funds to members of white supremacist and extremist groups.
