@Uggg_uggg Clean hit, just unfortunate.

Nikishin did not have the puck. He did not see the player and for that kind of dirty and dangerous play the Ottawa player gets nothing? WTF?!

The next generation deserves more than broken promises and outsourced dreams. They deserve a fair shot to work, build, and thrive in the nation they call home. I'm leading S. 2821 – the "American Tech Workforce Act" to end the H-1B scam and put hardworking Americans first.

Both groups, especially post-1990 arrivals, have an absurdly insane in-group bias and refuse to assimilate. This is because they have a false, unearned sense of superiority over Americans--the living conditions of those two countries serve as proof of that falsity. I can't imagine African nations wanting hordes of KKK members to move in to their countries--why should we let hundreds of thousands of people into ours that are essentially Han or Hindu supremacists? Yeah, it's not *all* of them, but it's far too many to say that we shouldn't drastically reduce these numbers. We shouldn't have communities in Northern DFW becoming unrecognizable overnight while Native-born Americans struggle to find employment. Immigration is a game of diminishing returns. It's why we stopped pretty much all immigration in the 1920s, and that was with almost all immigration up to that point coming from Western nations. It's why Armenians in Glendale that came over more recently engage in Medicare fraud, while Armenian arrivals to Metro Detroit in the 1910s-1940s contributed greatly to their communities. I don't have some sort of ridiculously unhealthy in-group preference to understand the nuance here, and I'm glad Marco Rubio banned naturalizations from Armenia. When it comes to India, you first got people like JD Vance's father-in-law in the 1970s. Today, you get Siraj Unpronouncablelastname from a mid-tier caste who fakes his credentials, comes here on an H1B visa to work an entry-level coding job that should have gone to a US-born STEM grad, refuses to mow his lawn, brings over his wife that refuses to dress in Western attire, and demands that a giant statue of a Hindu deity be placed in your town square in Texas as some sort of humiliation ritual. Enough is enough.

When Trump was in Berlin for his first state visit with Angela Merkel he asked the secret of her great success. Merkel told him you have to have intelligent people around you. "How do you know if someone is intelligent?" asked Trump. "Let me demonstrate." She picked up the phone, called Wolfgang Schäuble and asked him a question, "Mr. Schäuble, he’s your father's son but not your brother. Who is it?" Without hesitation Schäuble answered, “Quite simply, it's me!" "You see," Merkel told Trump, "this is how I test a person’s intelligence." Thrilled, when Trump flew home he called Mike Pence and asked him the same question. ”He’s your father's son, but is not your brother. Who is it?" After much back and forth, Pence said, “I have no idea, but I’ll try to find out the answer by tomorrow!" Of course Pence couldn’t figure it out and decided to seek advice from former President Obama, so he called him and said, “Mr. Obama, it's your father's son, but is not your brother. Who is it?" Obama answered, “Easy, it's me!" Happy to have found the answer, Pence called Trump and said triumphantly, "I have the answer, it's Barack Obama!" Trump raged and shouted, "No, you jackass, it's Wolfgang Schäuble!"

@DamonLinker @roddreher I bought it on Amazon about 15 years ago, I guess it wasn’t offensive back then.

The Camp of the Saints is incredibly offensive. I taught it in a class on the Reactionary Right at Penn this semester, and my students very much agree. But it should be freely available for purchase in a free society. This shouldn't be a close call.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 The Wall Street Journal just dropped a bombshell report on the inside story of the Iran war... The key revelations: Trump used to call the Middle East "blood and sand" and wanted nothing to do with it. Then Netanyahu gave him a "persuasive February briefing" in the Situation Room, backed by repeated calls from Lindsey Graham, and Trump changed his mind. He thought it would be as easy as Venezuela. Trump was "in awe" of the scale of the bombs, watching clips of explosions every morning. But he did "little to sell the American public on the war" and grew frustrated when he didn't get praised for it. His own team showed him midterm polling that proved the war was dragging down Republican candidates. He "quickly began ruminating on how the military action could turn into a catastrophe." On the Strait: Trump told his team before the war that Iran would "likely capitulate before closing the strait." His advisers were "caught off guard" that tanker traffic stopped so quickly. Trump later "marveled at the ease with which the strait was closed," saying "a guy with a drone can shut it down." By late March, before the F-15 was even shot down, Trump ordered his team to find a way to start talks. The war was already over in his mind weeks before the ceasefire. His aides begged him to stop doing impromptu interviews because he was contradicting himself publicly. He agreed to stop, then went right back to calling reporters. The April 1 address to the nation was Susie Wiles' idea to "reassure the country Trump had a plan." Trump didn't want to do it because, in his own words, he couldn't declare victory and didn't know where it was going. This report paints a picture of a president who was talked into a war by Netanyahu and Graham, realized it was a mistake within weeks, spent the rest of the conflict looking for the exit, and was frustrated that nobody would give him credit along the way. The war was an impulse, sold by an ally with different objectives, enabled by advisers who couldn't say no, and sustained by a president who was too proud to admit the mistake until the economy forced his hand.

@ReichlinMelnick Is that a problem for you?

It was NEVER about “legal vs illegal.” Their goal from day one has been to halt nonwhite immigration as much as possible.

For those living under a rock: LLMs stopped becoming smarter around summer 2025. Everything impressive you see since then is about finetuning them for specific tasks (mainly coding and software-tool-based task solving) and building tooling around them (such as agentic coding systems).

@Chris_arnade Dang, where is the video?

Driver pulled over twice to talk to her, eventually kicked her off two hours before, but he couldn’t leave her because no cop was around to pick her up and bus voted to let her back on rather than be delayed for a few hours

Fight on my greyhound — basically entire bus versus a crazy woman who kept provoking people until everyone was willing to kill her, some literally. Only guy who kept his cool, until the very end, was the dude who had been riding for 6 days straight from California, where he’d just been released from serving 10. When he broke, when all the anger management classes washed away when she called him a “gay ass N*** bitch”, a minute before we arrived, she was only saved by five other guys holding him back (she ain’t worth it bro), and the police waiting at station. It was absolute bedlam for last hour.

@FurkanGozukara I would totally watch this.

LMAO who made this 😭😂🤣

@MyLordBebo Chinese man named Alexey. 🤣

🇷🇺🇨🇳 LMAO: A banking scammer calls a Russian grandma to get access to her bank account … but not with her. Grandma: “I don’t want to talk to you, you have a squeaky voice.” Just listen in … that’s how you deal with scammers.

@braxton_mccoy The ocean called and they are out of shrimp 🤣

Why am I supposed to not like Russians again?

I don’t understand a word but I can’t stop laughing.. 😂

Why are there so many workers from one small region in India working in Tech? Is it Merit or Manipulation? youtu.be/lIWutWbr_BI

@RabbiPoupko @espressonline @marcotravaglio @robertosaviano @MichellSerrano @MCacciari44 @emifittipaldi @yankihebrew He looks like your sibling.

Italy's magazine @espressonline publishing Antisemitic Der Strumer worthy imagery should clarify where they got this image from. The military vest warn here is no longer in use by the IDF, the wedding ring and bracelet are never worn by ultra Orthodox men, the formation of the beard and Kippah are outlandish, and of course the very bizarre smile/showing teeth are unnatural.

This is nauseating. I spoke at a Trump rally right before Lindsey Graham in 2024 in SC in Lindsey Graham’s home county. During my speech I said no more money to the Ukraine war and talked about no more U.S. involvement in foreign wars and the massive crowd roared with cheers. After I finished, Lindsey Graham came on stage and was booed for the entirety of his speech until he finally quit and walked off stage. In his home state. In his home county where he was born and raised. This is all documented and on many videos. And Trump knew it happened, he heard the crowd. Lindsey Graham is exactly what Americans voted to get rid of in 2024, but Trump fights tooth and nail to protect. The vast majority of Trump’s endorsements are for politicians that always protect the swamp establishment and the deep state. Open your eyes and get out of the cult. The Trump endorsement should be a warning label proving that candidate will obey the very system that you hate and will be most likely funded by AIPAC which promotes Israel’s interest over America. Vote for candidates that are America FIRST!!! 🇺🇸

Yes or No: You’ve seen your favorite NHL team win a Stanley Cup in your lifetime.

@Arrogance_0024 @jlippincott I am tired of winning Mr. President. Please stop.

@ember65 @L0m3z @realJeremyCarl For me it was huge disappointment after reading Stalin’s war.

@L0m3z @realJeremyCarl The Russian Origins of the First World War was brilliant.

Sean McMeekin is the best contemporary historian. Period. His books are incredibly insightful and rigorously researched, but also great for general audiences. There is no more deserving person of the accolades and awards that will continue to come his way.

@L0m3z Stalins war was good, didn’t like the rest. Kotkin is hands down the best current historian of Russia.
