@SeanTrende God bless you and your wife. There is a special place in heaven for you!

I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them. realclearpolitics.com/articles/2026/…

@Castantine @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn Are my DNA guesses good😂😂

"The reason why Elon Musk has tweeted repeatedly about the casting of Lupita Nyong’o is more straightforward: Musk, a South African émigré, is just mad a black lady is playing Helen of Troy. Never mind she’s not only an Oscar-winning actress but also a renowned beauty... She’s black. Can’t have that now, can we?" thebulwark.com/p/the-weird-ri… via @SonnyBunch

@Castantine @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn Well, I was distracted by that good looking blonde in your picture. Your beard looks reddish are you sure some Northern European didn’t sneak into your gene pool😂😂😂

@metzgerbj @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn Speaking of fluidity of Mediterranean culture, is my last name Greek, Italian, or Turkish? 🤔

@Castantine @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn I suspect that I’m more conservative than you but we need to learn how to treat each other with respect. I wish POTUS (someone I didn’t vote for) would learn this too.

@metzgerbj @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn Agreed. And again, apologies for the offense

@Castantine @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn Well, you indeed are a rare creature on this website. I’m an old man & my only hope is that when you engage on this site that you initially give the benefit of the doubt. Some, most, will be idiots, taking the high ground is best. Accusations don’t serve you

@metzgerbj @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn You'll notice that I deleted that comment immediately because it was unnecessary. I've been arguing with disgusting racists over this all day and projected that on to you. So I apologize for that, which is something very rare on this website.

@Castantine @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn Young man, you called someone you don’t know a “racist retard” for pointing out that the genetic mixing that supported your argument didn’t occur til centuries later. What does an honorable man do in your position?

@metzgerbj @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn

@Castantine @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn You made the point about Greek culture mixing with Egyptians to justify your post. You called me a racist for calling to your attention that was hundreds of years later. The basis of your argument was wrong so you resorted to an ad hominem attack.

@metzgerbj @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn What falsehood? Lmao. That Greeks and Mediterraneans were not Anglo or Germanic whites because they're DNA is a fucking mess from the cradle of humanity?

@Castantine @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn May I point out that the extension of the Greek Empire into Egypt under Alexander the Great happened hundreds of years after the Trojan war. Does this cause you to rethink things or are you locked into falsehood?

@metzgerbj @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn You do realize that the Greek empire extended intro Egypt and there was a mixed Greek-Egyptian fucking queen of Egypt, right? Do you have any understanding of the ancient Mediterranean world? They were mixed race people's.

@Castantine @msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn Okay, if she was a real human, I suspect that Ancient Greek DNA might produce a different result than what is on a Greek vase. Please be a little rational.

@msuspartans353 @metzgerbj @samstein @thomasjoscelyn Also... x.com/i/status/20554…

@msuspartans353 @samstein @thomasjoscelyn So you believe a Greek God (kinda questionable that he existed) and a swan produced a beautiful human.? Have I got that right?

@metzgerbj @samstein @thomasjoscelyn Helen’s dad was Zeus and her mother was a swan. Helen hatched from an egg so doesn’t that make any genetic probabilities you are referring to go out the window?

@EODHappyCaptain I have nothing that can match that. 1984 given contract in responsibility for Army Special Access programs. 3 weeks later got a letter from the Russian embassy in DC. Thought I was invisible but that sobered me up.

Over the years, I’ve worked with the people who were with him on that mission. He was a true American hero whom I am said I never got to meet.

When did you first realize the weight or importance of your job? For me, it was when we had just arrived in Afghanistan. I had graduated EOD school less than a month earlier. While we were en route on the plane, Captain Jason McMahon, the company commander for our sister unit, was mortally wounded. Everyone rushed to the hospital to say their farewells. He was a prior NCO and absolutely loved by everyone. The next day I was tasked to be a Rifle Bearer at his ramp ceremony. I remember standing there as his flag draped casket was loaded onto the aircraft and feeling the enormity of the task that lay ahead. I probably mentally aged 10 years in that moment.

@BowesChay Now do PUTIN😂😂😂

The EU knows Ukraine is rotten to the core with corruption. The EU knows men are being forced east to die. The EU knows Zelensky is an unelected Dictator The EU Knows Ukraine can't and won't "win" But they don't care about the truth. The only care about keep the War alive

@Timodc This is so detached from reality that it shows that normal folks with Common sense should ignore you and the attached opinion.

JVL gives Platner somewhere between a 5 and 33% chance of being the Dem nominee in 2028. And I don't think that's crazy at all. Floated similar on a pod last fall. Before you scoff - read the case! thebulwark.com/p/platner-2028

@Alex_Oloyede2 Russia is such a bunch of limp dicked people. Complaining about their precious parade. I’d bet a lot that the Ukrainians don’t launch from border regions. They don’t have to but Russians need to cope.

‼️JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Russian GRU might have just thwarted Ukraine's massive drone setup for attacks on Moscow. The border state of Chernigov, majorly used by the Kiev regime for drone attacks on Russia is in flames. Secondary explosions were reported.

@EggerDC In case I’m not clear, I think the Bulwark has the same objectivity problem that the MSM has. @JonahDispatch is much more objective in his analysis than the Bulwark is.

@EggerDC You should have let this one go . Everyone one who works for an organization wants to defend it. Decent conservatives of my age, have no problem remembering Bill Kristol’s past views or understanding your owners views & how that affects coverage.

Honestly I don't find this psychological explanation compelling at all. The big difference is positional.

@ASFleischman The people of Alabama, including many republicans like me, had the good sense to vote for his opponent that’s probably a larger pool of Alabama residents to judge from. Funny that William Pryor a former Alabama AG is now the chief judge of the 11th Circuit.

So here's the thing. I hear people talking about wanting to do away with actual malice. Do we really want a world where newspapers can't tell people about child sexual predators, for fear that some strained reading of a LITERALLY TRUE sentence will lead to millions in damages?

Roy Moore "dated" 14-year-old girls as a 30 something lawyer and was kicked out of a mall for being creepy. (Trump still endorsed him). An ad ran on those facts, he sued, and an Alabama jury awarded him an 8 million dollar verdict. Today, the 11th Circuit vacated it. /1

@EsotericCD A hard read

In high school my dad had the hardback edition. Even when you slipped off the dust jacket the spine of the book still had a big damn swastika. So when I read it in public, I'd just periodically shake my head in disgust, like "that darn Hitler!"

@MaxNordau @JonahDispatch Well, let’s see if this Democratic Icon words have any impact on someone needs to put this in front of his grandson.
