All Leftists do is obfuscuate the truth with slogans. >"Being undocumented is not a crime." Actually, under 8 USC 1325... illegal entry is a federal crime and reentry after deportation is a felony. >"Being born is not a crime." Nobody said it was. This is a strawman. Enforcing immigration law has nothing to do with criminalizing birth, OBVIOUSLY. >"Seeking asylum is not a crime." Legal asylum seekers go through ports of entry and if you are denied asylum, you must leave. If you didn't do that and crossed the border illegally, you are a criminal. >"Building a life in this country is not a crime." Building a life here illegally, after violating federal law to get here, while using public resources you didn't pay into, while cutting the line ahead of people who did it legally... is yes, illegal. >"We won't let Trump rewrite the law to fit his cruel agenda." Trump isn't rewriting anything. He's literally enforcing laws that Congress passed and the Biden administration before him just ignored. You have no arguments against this. Zero. All you have is emotion and semantics designed to make people feel bad without any solutions and it's very clear.

@KimK91fw I’ve started to notice a trend among Japanese gun enthusiasts—they seem to love tiny pistols! I wish they knew how miserable they are to shoot.. Regardless, sharing our gun cultures continues to be a fun experience. 🔫 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 🔫

アメリカ人よ！ 君たちの持っている拳銃を見せてくれ！！ 俺はワルサーPPKが好きだ。 もちろん、これはエアソフトのものだ。 もしも日本で市民の拳銃所持が許されるなら、本物を持ち歩きたいがな！

There is no credible evidence supporting the specific claim in that X post.** The post by @MENA_Puls (dated April 4, 2026) states: > "🚨 🇺🇸 Breaking: An hour after announcing his resignation, the US Army Chief of Staff says: 'A madman will lead the great US military to ruin.'" It includes two unrelated stock photos—one of Donald Trump pointing and one of Gen. Randy George in uniform. What *is* confirmed by multiple major news outlets: - **Gen. Randy George** (the 41st Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army) **was asked to retire effective immediately** by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. - This occurred around April 2–3, 2026, amid the ongoing U.S. military conflict with Iran. - It is part of a broader pattern of senior military leadership changes under the current administration (Hegseth has removed more than a dozen top officers). - The Pentagon’s official statement (via spokesperson Sean Parnell) was neutral: “General Randy A. George will be retiring from his position as the 41st Chief of Staff of the Army effective immediately. The Department of War is grateful for General George’s decades of service to our nation. We wish him well in his retirement.” No reason was publicly given.43 - Confirmed across outlets including CBS News, CBC, BBC, The Guardian, Fox News, Arab News, and others.30 What has **zero supporting evidence**: - The dramatic quote (“A madman will lead the great US military to ruin”) attributed to Gen. George “an hour after” the announcement. - No video, audio, transcript, press release, or reporting from any reputable news organization attributes this (or any similar public rebuke) to him. - Extensive searches of news sources and recent reports turn up **only** repetitions of the same viral social-media claim—no sourcing, no context, no follow-up stories. - Major outlets that covered the retirement in detail make no mention of any statement from George at all, let alone a provocative one. This appears to be a case of **misinformation** that spread quickly on X and other platforms, using the real news of the retirement + stock photos for dramatic effect. The underlying event (the forced retirement) is factual, but the quote is not. If new evidence emerges from a credible source (e.g., a verified statement or recording), that could change things—but as of now (April 4, 2026), none exists. The post is misleading by presenting an unverified (and likely fabricated) quote as breaking news.

🚨 🇺🇸 Breaking: An hour after announcing his resignation, the US Army Chief of Staff says: "A madman will lead the great US military to ruin."

Voters elected a Republican Senate to do a job, and all they've done is hide behind procedural headwinds to justify not doing that job. The desire to protect the "institution of the Senate" is causing the Senate to lose its credibility.

How the podcast idiocracy works Tucker interviews Dave Smith Dave Smith interviews Theo Von Theo Von interviews Candace Candace interviews Dave Smith Joe Rogan interviews Theo Von Tucker interviews Theo Von Joe Rogan interviews Dave Smith Etc etc etc You get the idea

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

I agree, US bases in Europe are part of the NATO logistics network. These bases and the ability they give us to project power are the primary benefit the US receives in the NATO alliance. When you deny us the use of that benefit and deny overflight the NATO imbalance is more greatly exposed. Our ability to use our bases and receive overflight should be an expectation amongst allies, and is a minimal ask.

American bases in Europe are part of the logistics network for the US military when it is fighting abroad. Closing them down would hamper US operatins. If you want to close them in order to hurt Europe, sure that would hurt Europe, but is also shows what a petty bitch you are if you are willing tot hurt yourself in order to hurt Europe.

Ukraine and Iran are both problems for Europe and the US. We live in the stupidest timeline where Europe and the US are drifting apart instead of sticking together. And dont come to me with your thoughts about who you think is to blame and who started this. Shut up. We need to come together and not alienate each other even more, whoch just serves the interest of the third world dictators.

Notice the (D)ifference

@JayTC53 @theamerican2006 I’m pretty sure Ukraine blew the pipeline, but I agree with the sentiment. A bridge than can and has been used to transport military combatants is a legitimate military target. It doesn’t take a military genius to figure this out.

@theamerican2006 I don't listen to leftists, im pointing out how ridiculous they are

Joe Biden and NATO blew up Russia's Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Leftists cheered it on. President Trump blew up a worthless bridge in Iran. Leftists are calling it a "war crime" These people are unserious lunatics.

The administrative bloat in hospitals unlike anything I’ve seen. There is so much overlap it’s unclear who’s responsible, so nobody’s accountable. Basically all supply contracts are handled through GPO’s when you can almost always reach substantially better agreement direct. This is easier, but much more costly. Unfortunately this is standard practice. All equipment comes with costly service agreements and/or software licensing that in practice and effect continue in perpetuity. This is largely where companies make their money, and can be predatory. Ex. A hospital paying ~$150,000 for bi-annual certification of 8 treadmills used in cardiac rehab. These are normal treadmills, the certification does nothing but test function and safety, it takes under an hour. There is no alternative “certification” provider. Treadmills must be certified for liability. Hospitals rarely run a single seamless operating system. Instead, they bolt together dozens of separate SaaS tools over time for EHRs, billing, labs, imaging, patient portals, analytics, supply chain, and compliance as needed arises. These are linked through custom integrations and middleware. When issues arise, and they do with every software update, internal IT teams lack the vendor-specific knowledge required to fix them quickly, forcing an ongoing reliance on specialized consultants. Consultants are overused everywhere, but this is where I saw them the most. Auto-renewing agreements slip through the cracks due to poor visibility, decentralized purchasing, missed cancellation windows, and a lack of centralized contract tracking at most facilities. The amount of zombie contracts this can lead to is astounding. If you want to learn where the waste is talk directly with Contract Directors/Managers and Sourcing Directors/Managers. They see where and how moneys is spent across all departments within a hospital. This is why I got out of healthcare. It’s honestly depressing how dysfunctional it is behind the scenes.

Why aren’t any of these at risk hospitals publishing their full accounting so everyone can see where they spend their money ? All but one group of hospitals that I have looked at potentially investing in, spend so much on consultants and fees that it’s no wonder they are at risk Plus, I have NEVER seen an industry that is worse than hospitals when it comes to buying medications and items like implants, screws, other devices. They overpay for everything. And then when you show them how to save money, their “supply chain” employees resist any change. They are so set in their ways, it’s a shock more don’t go out of business. Prove me wrong.

Brother, the UK has as well, as you conveniently ignore. Get over it. You offer no alternative, realistic or not, and your arguments come across as half baked and disingenuous. We get it, you are not a fan of the US. We don’t care. But stop trying to present yourself as an intellectual capable of objective thought and opinion.

@jrebiv @subataxia92 @pegobry_en @CyberPunkCortes A far greater concern her in Europe compared to he states, yet you've been fkn with that region for the last 3 decades....

@subataxia92 @jrebiv @pegobry_en @CyberPunkCortes "while contributing overwhelmingly more to NATO than any other member," Oh and I think Germany or something actually contribute more to NATO. It's a common mistake that Yanks make on here. The budget that you think is NATO is just the Yank military budget. Not NATO.

Yeah the cia, mi6, usaid etc did all sorts of things in Ukraine in the past in attempts to install and support pro western leaders. This was a long running competition by the West and Russia to have Ukraine in their orbit. McCain sabotaging talks is kinda a Russian talking point though as he was advocating closer ties with the West and Europe during the Euromaiden protests?

@subataxia92 @jrebiv @pegobry_en @CyberPunkCortes And that's without mentioning the coup caused by the US in Ukraine, John McCain sabotaging talks in 2010s directly causing the war, etc. etc.

A few things you may not know and a couple to consider. Ukraine did not possess the financial resources or the technical expertise to maintain the nuclear weapons located in its territory. Ukraine also did not have operational control of those weapons. The warheads were physically in Ukraine, but the launch authorization systems and codes remained in Moscow. Security assurances were provided by the United States, the United Kingdom, and, ironically, Russia. The war in Ukraine has had a far greater impact on Europe than on the United States. It’s also a far larger concern in Europe than it is here. The conflict has gone on for years with neither side making meaningful gains. We’ve surpassed the length of wwII. Despite this Ukraine and many European countries do not appear willing to pursue a peace agreement that involves ceding any territory to Russia. The sentiment is understandable, but it’s not realistic. PURL is a way for Europe to take on a greater share of responsibility for Ukraine’s defense. Finally, I find it difficult to believe you think a better alternative would be for the United States, a nuclear power, to directly fight Russia, another nuclear power, in Ukraine. In my view, the level of assistance currently provided is close to the maximum that can realistically be sustained without that eventuality.

@subataxia92 @jrebiv @pegobry_en @CyberPunkCortes As of right now and for the last 2 years, Europeans have been providing Ukraine's defence through purchasing American equipment. During the 90s, America promised Ukraine that if they gave up their nukes, the US would defend them from Russian Aggression. They still haven't.

Diplomacy failed. An agreement that’s not abided to by both parties is failed. This is easy to research. You’re either ignorant or disingenuous. Tariffs are just and legal. All countries use tariffs including your own. Apparently the US acting in its interest, which all countries do, hurt your feelings. My opinions are my own, derived from diverse media sources on the left and right. You don’t have to like them. Your uninformed reply lacking any substance was a waste of both our time. Take care Charles.

A war of necessity after diplomacy and appeasement repeatedly failed. The alternative was doing nothing. Tariffs intended to balance trade and address unequal access to each other’s economies. Long overdue. I am more than willing to discuss differing perspectives, as I would expect from a European. But if your opening includes ad hominem attacks, that reflects on your education and character, not mine.

Europe didn't even have to join us in the war. They just had to let us use the military bases that we built and that we pay for and that we supply. And they wouldn't do it.

It appears the fate of the Republic hinges on whether or not one specific middle-aged white woman is willing to be slightly mean to minorities..

Birthright Citizenship was written for freed slaves, NOT the anchor babies of illegals. Pass it on.

This isn't complicated. Alliances don't exist by some religious rite. We do not need a defensive alliance with France or Spain. They offer nothing of value to us in that respect. The value is in base usage and the ability for the US to project power around the world in exchange for defending Europe. If NATO devolves into the Euro members not even letting the US use their bases or airspace, then it offers little to no value for America. You may believe we owe it to Europe to spend trillions of dollars protecting them no matter what. But we don't. And if they want to play this game, then they will suffer the consequences. No amount of yelling "retarded" is going to change that.

oh no someone call the moon police
