I do hope someone corrected his assignation foible. Here he is, unload all sorts of facts, but ruins the delivery of goods except it packaged with dirty diapers. JPs posts remind me of where Luther tells Erasmus that his book was so weak in substance that its elegant style only made the contrast worse. He says it is like using precious tableware to carry refuse or dung. JP is wasting critical bytes. He should have serious restrictions to keep people from harm.

Are we still supposed to believe the official assignation narrative because Erika is just a grieving widow or are we allowed to use our brains now?

@nanshisweets Yes. I didn’t like it growing up. But now? Yummmm.

What a misleading headline from The Daily Mail. The ATF ran a tool mark analysis on a bullet jacket fragment recovered from Charlie's autopsy. The result was "inconclusive" — not "no match." The jacket was too fragmented to compare, which also partially explains the lack of an exit wound. The bullet shattered on impact. "Inconclusive" means insufficient evidence to draw any conclusion. It doesn't mean the bullet "did NOT match" the rifle like the headline says. The defense wants to use "inconclusive" as exculpatory evidence — but the prosecution wants to run chemical or molecular analysis comparing the jacket alloy to ammunition recovered with the gun. Unlike tool mark analysis, it doesn't require an intact bullet. The defense is trying to block that testing from happening. That's the nuance of the real story.

The text: An initial report, not the, but an early one at least, was unable to identify the bullet. That does not mean there is no match or no other report identifying the features of the round. Simpletons like @AwakenWithJP will devour this content like they've discovered water on Mars, or in JP's case, Uranus.

@GBNT1952 @j_fishback thinks the Founders had their sites archived. Imagine all those personal letters that could have been lost to analog history.

Guys… this is just dumb. It does the opposite of prove his point: it actually lets us reaffirm that he is, indeed, as stupid as we all knew he was. Words show up after the ideas, not before. It’s kind of how history works. The Founders didn’t need the modern label of Judeo-Christian because they simply talked natural law, providence, virtue, and rights from the Creator. The Bible was all over their thinking. Guess who has a pretty big part in the Bible? Also, his stupid Ngram chart? It just shows when the fancy hyphen got popular in books. That doesn’t mean the Christian and Jewish roots weren’t there from day one (and any suggestion otherwise is pretty idiotic coming from a supposed “Christian”). It would be the same as graphing “globalization” and claiming global trade didn’t exist before the 1950s. Stupid. This dude has the critical thinking skills of an acorn.

@ConceptualJames The fake outrage from nominal Christians about the term "Judeo-Christian" is one of their most obvious tells imo

@ClassicLibera12 @j_fishback @grok Oof Similar to at least three popular historians “World War 2 had nothing to do with the Versailles Treaty.” Basically, The WW1 armistice is not necessary to the WW2 debut.

@j_fishback @grok is the New Testament contingent on the metaphysics of the Torah?

“Judeo-Christian” literally wasn’t a thing 250 years ago, let alone a thing our country was founded on. We are a Christian nation, and I’m running for Governor to revive that.

@XtremelyDad @birdflower105 I’ve been to some that say participation is a matter of conviction and conscience. Others, you have to be a member or confessionally aligned, like 1689 or WCF.

@birdflower105 As a non-Catholic (I don't call myself a Protestant and most non-Catholics don't either, because we aren't protesting the Catholic Church), I can tell you that anyone who professes to be a Christian is welcome to take part in Communion if it's being observed

カトリックでは聖体拝領はカトリックの洗礼を受けた人だけでその他の人は祝福をいただけます。プロテスタントにカトリックの信徒が行く場合はどうなのでしょうか？知ってる方教えてください🙏

@DrunkRepub Let’s hear it for Heritage Federalists!

So the libertarians now call themselves “New Federalists”? Am I understanding this correctly?

@MrLeadslinger @AhabsBones Can’t do math either…

Yes, Texas is where brisket and chili are perfected. Other states do have amazing BBQ. You should know that if you are given tomato sauce and beans in your chili, it’s not acceptable. Many of us use actual chili peppers and meat. Some seasonings. No beans or tomatoes. Fight me. I placed third in a Texas chili cook-off. That’s like the Lone Star State reached out and declared my chili official. Everyone else is trolling you. I’m here for you though.

My American friends, I'm facing a major problem here. When I say I want to eat American BBQ, some Americans say, "come to Texas," others say, "come to South Carolina," and still others say, "come to Missouri." I'm confused. Are you guys going to start a BBQ civil war?

@ia97lies I saw that in a few articles recently. Like the em dash, I have to limit the use of not, now? I need a list.

AI detection in posts: It is not X. It is Y. Like a clockwork. When ever I let AI fiddle my text I have to remove those coaching phrases, bc I personally find them very annoying. This might improve but at the time being you see it everywhere. It is not fear. It is dedication. 🤮

@0xSero I used the Instruct gguf. Very impressive watching it sort source info.

Bill Gates walked into the Tesla Gigafactory and declared the long-range electric semi impossible. The truck was already in production. Pepsi was running it on live routes. Musk: “I was like, well, but we literally have them. And you can drive them. And Pepsi is literally using them right now.” Gates was standing inside the factory that built the vehicle he was dismissing. It existed. It was moving freight. Musk: “He’s like, ‘No, no, it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.’ And I’m like… I’m kind of stuck here.” Musk didn’t argue. He asked for the math. Musk: “You must think we can’t achieve the energy density of the battery pack, or that the watt-hours per mile of the truck is too high. Which one of those numbers do you think we have wrong, and what numbers do you think are correct?” Gates didn’t have wrong numbers. He had no numbers. Musk: “He didn’t know any of the numbers.” The co-founder of Microsoft walked into an operating factory, stood next to a truck hauling Pepsi’s freight, and declared it impossible without a single figure. No energy density. No efficiency metric. No math. Just conviction wearing a $130 billion net worth as a credential. Musk: “Doesn’t it seem that it’s perhaps premature to conclude that a long-range semi cannot work if you do not know the energy density of the battery pack or the energy efficiency of the truck chassis?” One question. Nowhere left to stand. Musk: “You’d think he’d be really quite strong in the sciences. But actually, he is not strong in the sciences. It is really surprising.” Gates built his empire on software. Abstraction. Code that never has to satisfy a physics equation. Musk builds in atoms. Battery cells have energy densities. Truck chassis have drag coefficients. A semi either makes the route or it doesn’t. There is no patch. Physics does not negotiate. Thirty years inside abstraction and a man starts believing his intuition applies everywhere. It doesn’t. The truck exists. The routes are logged. Pepsi is running them. Gates declared it impossible and couldn’t produce the math to prove it. The truck already had.

@MattWalshBlog [He talked to the sound guy this morning and the producer via text. Neither one talked about Iran.]

I’ve never seen such a disconnect between the commentary on this site and what I hear in the real world. I’ve talked to dozens of normal conservatives in real life about the Iran War and I haven’t met a single one who’s actually enthusiastically in favor of it. At best they’re warily optimistic. In most cases they’re opposed. In some cases they’re not only opposed but deeply furious. And yet here if you utter a word of criticism about the war you’ll be shouted down by throngs of alleged American conservatives who allegedly have wanted nothing more than for America to go to war with Iran. It just doesn’t reflect what I see on the ground. That’s not just cope because my position is unpopular with “my side.” I’ve held plenty of unpopular positions. I really don’t care. But in this case the social media vs real world divide is stark and unlike anything I’ve seen before.

Ah yes, Tolkien, who wrote The Lord of the Rings, which has sold over 150 million copies, and The Hobbit which has sold another 100 million (ranking them 2nd and 3rd respectively in top-selling novels of all time), who created over 14 distinct languages and alphabets for Middle-earth before writing his novels, who was fluent in Danish, Dutch, French, German, Gothic, Greek, Italian, Latin, Lombardic, Middle/Old English, Old Norse, Norwegian, Russian, Serbian, Spanish, Swedish, and Welsh, who, while serving in WWI, developed a secret code to update his wife about his location to bypass British army mail censorship, who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature….. Yes, surely, he is a weak thinker.

@DisaffectedPod That's a lost skill.

Sunday at home with a friend who knows how to do separate companionable silence. I'm going to do my taxes, she's going to to sketch and draw. Reubens on homemade sourdough with split pea/bacon soup will warm the afternoon. -J

@_JessOrlando @ProjectConstitu Ha! It's 42. :) It was kind of an in-joke for anyone who's read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Similar to "What is the air speed velocity of a laden swallow?"

@ethaneharris @ProjectConstitu Correct. Just making sure we’re aligned, since my name got pulled into it. As for the meaning of life, the universe, and everything… I’d say it’s knowing exactly who you are, standing on it, and not needing to hide behind anything while you do it. ✨️❤️

🚨 TPUSA IS PANICKING: I Just Received A SECOND "Cease & Desist" Letter From TPUSA Demanding I STOP Investigating Them- My Answer Is NO!💪🇺🇸 If you needed any more proof that we are hitting the nerve and the establishment syndicate is terrified of the truth, this is it. Turning Point USA and Erika Kirk have now dispatched their high-priced lawyers to send me a SECOND formal Cease and Desist demand letter. They want me to stop investigating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. They want me to stop asking questions about the vetting of TPUSA contractors. They are calling accurate investigative reporting and protected editorial analysis "defamation" and threatening me with lawfare. But as my email reply to their counsel makes absolutely clear... I WILL NOT BE BULLIED INTO SILENCE. Attached is my official response to their attempt to intimidate a journalist. The lawyers claimed I have a duty to share specific claims so they have an "opportunity to correct falsehoods" (which I did), but they refused to answer any of the questions i posed to them. how ironic. They are sending letters because the logistics are failing them and they're reacting to the massive amount of people that aren't buying their crap. They can coordination their PR statements, send cease and desit letters, or file as many lawsuits as the want, but they cannot hide the truth from the American people. We are not backing down. 🇺🇸⚓️
