@chae_davidelvis @ericmetaxas Same reason that people would complain if Brad Pitt was cast to play Porgy and RuPaul to play Bess in the Opera Porgy and Bess.

@ericmetaxas It’s a fictional characters this is like someone wanting to use a different ethnic actor for Paul Bunyan or Peter Pan…why are u guys so fucking weird about whiteism?

The Odyssey is one of the greatest works of literature in history. As a lover of Western Civilization -- and as the proud son of a Greek immigrant -- I denounce Nolan's sacrilege in perverting this great epic with DEI & trans lunacy. Shame on him & shame on Hollywood.

Israel developed the bomb in secret. In fact, they still do not acknowledge that they have nuclear weapons. Iran bragged about it and let everyone know they were trying to develop the bomb. Had they not said anything they too would have the bomb. Israel was told they could not develop the bomb but they did so in secret and no one knew or they would have been stopped also.

@USTreasury Why can Israel have nukes but Iran can't??

Today, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control is designating 12 individuals and entities for their roles enabling the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) sale and shipment of Iranian oil to the People’s Republic of China. The IRGC relies on front companies in permissive economic jurisdictions to obfuscate its role in oil sales and funnel the revenue to the Iranian regime. Instead of using this revenue to support the struggling Iranian people, the regime directs it toward weapons development, backing terrorist proxies, and funding security forces that suppress citizens’ freedoms.

You are correct. The 2010 work was a complete rebuild. Much of the rebuild eventually failed. At the time the project was awarded to Berger, Berger was being sued and had pled guilty to fraud for 69 million dollars in phony over billing and shoddy workmanship on other government projects. They were awarded the contract by the Parks Department in charge of the federal property.

@MrsMalindo @AlecLace It wasn't the same project.

🚨 Obama spent $34 MILLION of your tax dollars renovating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. No Media meltdowns. Here’s some reactions when it reopened 👇

The gas prices being compared were adjusted for inflation. Obama inherited the war but did nothing to try and stop it, in fact he expanded the military presence. But even so, he certainly is not responsible for that war. The prices for gas cannot be blamed on Obama either. Oil speculators drove the per barrel price up, OPEC refused to pump more oil, therefore controlling and driving up the barrel cost (even though Obama requested they produce more oil). Obama did not personally oversee the construction work on the reflecting pool. The Park Service awarded the contract to a company that had just been found guilty of fraud (over billing for work done for the military). The work was apparently shoddy as some of work had to be redone by Trump. The comparison on the pool work is faulty in that the 2010 work was a complete rebuild, including the foundation, where the current work is only partial repair work that failed after the completion of the original work in 2010-2012.

@AlecLace Gas prices WERE NOT HIGHER!! And Obama didn’t START THE FRIGGIN WAR!! He INHERETED IT from a REPUBLICAN who also attacked IRAN on BS “they almost got a nuke!’ grounds! Lying POS.

Not a private bid. It was an open bid that went to the lowest bidder, Louis Berger Group. At the time, Berger Group was a privately owned company out of New Jersey. At the time the bid was awarded, the Berger Group was being sued for Fraud and had been found guilty for massive over billing the government (to the tune of 69 million dollars) for projects it was doing for the military. In 2010, it was the low bidder for the reflecting pool reconstruction and was awarded that contract.

@AlecLace Did Obama personally oversee the process, and use no bid contracts for his friends?

@soxnation345 @catturd2 My fault. I read your statement wrong.

@dilonsfo @catturd2 I'm aware

Learn to code ✌️

@soxnation345 @catturd2 Biden told coal miners to "learn to code (program)" when the miners faced losing their jobs in 2019 due laws that he promised to pass via ER that would outlaw coal burning in the USA if he was elected President.

@catturd2 Who the fuck says learn to code? For the record he already knows how? You could not be any more old and cringey

@Owls_4_America @catturd2 You are right....however, so in Catturd and he did it to be sarcastic taking a cue from the famous Biden quote.

@catturd2 lol. He actually does know how to code. Thats how he started. Hahaha

@Demand_Voter_Id @catturd2 Not one Masse bill has passed into legislation but he has helped pass many democrat bills.

@catturd2 Hes the example of wjat we want in leadership. Not a fan boy of Trump. I voted for trump twice, went to rallys. I just dont believe in blind allegiance.

Masshole is the biggest fraud in Congress.

Are you saying that voting with dems is showing he loves liberty? You mean the man who tied all of his politics capital on the Epstein files, lied about having 20 names given to him by the victims. A man who lied about 4 innocent men saying they were on his list of pedos given to him by the victims only to find out they had nothing to do with Epstein. That's the man you say is one of the few politicians who loves "liberty." Seems to me he does the same thing most politicians do...lie about a divisive subject to get on camera, talk about it, blame someone else and do absolutely nothing he says needs to be done.

@catturd2 The Dude here. Nothing quite like watching people who claim to be patriots and lovers of liberty attack one of the very few politicians who also loves liberty and votes that way. I wonder how much they get paid to do it?

That’s why we call them massholes.

@cwinkler85 @FischerKing64 Congress could pass a law and then the Supreme Court would find that law unconstitutional. The court discovered it's power was redefining what the authors the Constitution meant rather that what they wrote.

@FischerKing64 Congress could fix it, but i feel silly even mentioning it. The founding fathers were in many cases young men. There might be a few food reasons why we should try to emulate that again.

I think Jack is right here, and I think they’re going to hold back the birthright citizenship ruling till the last moment, knowing it will cause a firestorm. Fundamentally it is batshit crazy to let 9 old lawyers make a decision like this - reading centuries old texts in ways that can destroy the fabric of society - because ‘that’s who we are.’

Sorry...but the current "living " Constitution worship began when Eisenhower (Greatest Generation) appointed Earl (must read them their rights) Warren as head justice to the Supreme Court. Warren, along with Douglas and others appointed by that generationbegan this "new and modernized" reading of the Constitution that has destroyed the legal system and made attorneys filthy rich and criminals run free.

@FischerKing64 It’s not who I am. “Muh constitution” worship was a boomercon disaster. That ideological cult 100% tracks with the time in which this country was gutted like a fish and thrown into a deep fryer. Of what use was the rule?

@leucinedreams @0hour1 I suggest you read up on history... particularly the Iran-Iraq war to see how much the Iranians value children's lives

@0hour1 At least that money doesn’t come from people who like shooting children for fun.

Multiple influencers being looked at for any Iranian regime money 💰 transfers.

I must have missed the part about red states bailing out California. You are right that no Red State, or any to other state, is going to jump in and throw money at California. It will have to be the federal government that does the bailing and they will require a plan from California that they are going to sell land, divest of certain investments, reopen the oil drilling off the coast, cut the current "charity programs" and eliminate certain government organizations, and give up control in certain others to the feds.,etc. I don't think at this moment the current political leaders have any idea about what to do. California says it is the 5th largest economy in the world. Certainly, if that is true a management plan can be put together. It will be rough for many years but it has to be done. But because it will add to the federal debt, taxpayers across the country are going to pay to bail them out in the short term at least. In my opinion any politician who conspired to commit fraud with friends, family, pay offs from companies should be charged with that crime. That won't bring down the deficit but it would stand as a deterrent for future politicians.

@tarpara @sourceryy @friedberg This doesn't answer my question at all. @friedberg claims red states would be the ones bailing out California. That doesn't seem to be the case. It would be the tax payers and mostly the tax payers from California. Don't see the connection to the red states.

.@friedberg says "California is functionally bankrupt": "People don't realize how screwed California is. I worry that if California falls, so does the union." "We're $250 billion to $1 trillion short." "If it was the federal government, they would just print more money. California doesn't have the ability to print money, so California has to pay this out, and you can't restructure retirement benefits." "There's a Supreme Court case in California that said once an employee has been offered retirement benefits, even if they're currently an employee, you can never restructure their retirement benefits. It has to stay forever." "And the state cannot declare bankruptcy. There's no way for the state to functionally declare bankruptcy. There's no law to allow it." "No state has ever declared bankruptcy, and the the retirement benefits sit senior to the bonds in California. So you have to pay out the retirement benefits before you pay out all the bond holders that have loaned California the money that they use to run all their programs and services." " This isn't about taxes and Billionaire Tax Act. I don't think you can tax your way out of this problem. People will just leave the state." "California's functional bankruptcy is a major risk to the country and we need to figure out what we can change to fix it." At the @HillValleyForum 2026

There is over 1 billion dollars in the Trust fund for the Sioux as payment for the Black Hills land taken in 1868. It grows at 5 per cent interest year after year. The Sioux have refused to touch it. This is the result of a settlement in 1980 between the government and the Sioux and awarded by the Supreme Court in which the government lost to the Sioux. After winning the award new leadership had the money placed in the trust. Now they want the land rather than the payment they sued for and were awarded.

@0hour1 Lesson: a few years in prison the day with a cellmate named Bubba can change a man's outlook on life

White Nationalist goes Transgender

@catturd2 After listening to him I can understand why Michael Jordan slapped the hell out of him and knocked him out cold when they were teammates on the Bulls.

Everybody is.

@catturd2 Seems like great parents.

Timeline cleanse.

@Maxxiimmuusss @catturd2 Alex Jones also warned everyone that the slaughter of all those children at school was a government fake. Was he right about that? Answer: he was a billion and a half times wrong.

@catturd2 Alex Jones warned you about SPLC a decade ago, but go off about how he is anti American or some shit, you dumb old fuck.

And all brand new clothes.

@catturd2 Most interesting that the guy was a paid informant for the SPLC and the FBI at the same time. Oh, and the FBI was working with the SPLC at the time this was going on to develop and expand the Hate Group list.
