Mental State of the Union

@NotTheirScript She speaks confidently. People believe her. People don’t care about competence.

Candace Owens found a story that keeps her audience angry and she just keeps rewriting it every 90 days. New detail. New villain. New reason to distrust the official account. By the time anyone fact-checks the last version she’s already dropped the next one. She isn’t seeking the truth. She is seeking attention, validation, and clout. I’m not sure what’s more sad.. Her or the people that take her seriously.

@nypost There were so many treatment alternatives for her. Spain just chose to get rid of the problem. The world needs to hold them accountable. Her life had meaning.

People are reacting emotionally first and interpreting second. The report doesn’t say the bullet wasn’t from the gun, just that it was too fragmented to confirm. That’s ambiguity, not innocence. But the brain hates uncertainty, so it fills the gap with whatever fits its bias. Fast outrage > slow thinking.

What will life in the United States look like in 4 years if Democrats regain full control of the federal government?

@NotTheirScript I don’t want to even imagine right now.

@seanmdav @NotTheirScript Thank you for the clarification. Unfortunately, the cognitive pattern will drive the conspiracy community: find the gap, live in the gap, refuse to zoom out.

The “science” of matching bullets to specific rifle or pistol barrels is nonsense and always has been. There is no scientific process that allows you to take a spent round that has been deformed and fragmented and then conclusively determine that it came from this or that specific firearm. Same goes for matching bullet casings to specific guns. It is 100% junk science. Same goes for matching bullet casings to specific guns. Anyone who still believes in this junk has spent way too much time watching fictional network crime drama. Thankfully courts have finally started rejecting this fake evidence and refusing to allow so-called experts to provide testimony relying upon it.

I’m troll hunting tonight. Easy pickings.

@catturd2 How people are not seeing this is beyond me. They are trying to hijack the movement that Trump literally created. In addition, you can’t say you care about the country if you are willing to allow democrats to be back in power.

All of this - followed.

Post-traumatic suicidality is a crisis state. PTSD from sexual assault has some of the highest recovery rates in the clinical literature. It does take a commitment, and it can be expensive, but there are so many treatments that are specifically designed to treat her issues. This is so sad. It did not have to happen.

Noelia Castillo Ramos was gang-raped by migrants from North Africa because of policy decisions the government made to let in millions of men from Muslim-majority countries who believe white women are there to be raped. She is rightfully struggling mentally, tried to commit suicide by jumping out of a fifth-story window, failed, and the Spanish government decided they have the power to tell her it won't get better for her and that she deserves to die at 25 years old because her mental struggles (that they caused) are incurable. This is not "government-assisted suicide." This is execution.

@catturd2 She was the mom in Titanic, right? The mom who disapproved of Jack. Which honestly tracks…. she’s been playing disapproving aristocrat for so long she forgot to stop when the cameras turned off.

@libsoftiktok Just another part of a broader judicial pattern where the rights of people who broke the law to enter the country are weighed against the interests of citizens, and the citizens keep losing.

@libsoftiktok @AULiberalArts He’s part of a pipeline, mentoring PhD candidates specifically selected by group identity, who then get placed into faculty positions, where they run the same programs. The “Woke Mind Virus” cycle.

Meet Dan J. Svyantek, a professor at @AULiberalArts in Alabama, who proudly lists the "DEI Activities" he's involved with at this taxpayer-funded university. Activities include: -Increasing "gender equity" -Promoting "gender inclusiveness" -Hosting DEI groups -Running programs to hire people from "underrepresented groups" This university needs to be investigated and defunded @DOGE

BREAKING: Katherine Menendez, a Biden-appointed judge, just DISMISSED a DOJ lawsuit against Minnesota and ruled that public universities can continue offering scholarships and in-state tuition to illegal aliens. Another activist judge putting foreign invaders before Americans. IMPEACH

@NotTheirScript Yes. It is. Both parties do it, but this time has been egregious from democrats.

If politicians are willing to withhold income from everyday citizens just to prove a point, isn’t that economic terrorism?

Who?

@catturd2 Yep. She’s past the point where anyone close to her can course correct, because anyone who tried has already been reframed as part of the conspiracy. Her spiral will continue to be self sustaining.

Batshit crazy.

@RWMaloneMD A society that punishes caution is a society that’s optimizing for compliance, not safety.

True story - early on, I spoke at length with Eric about how to deal with family, who were not happy with him speaking out... Like many of us, he lost a lot personally due to his advocacy. He is a true hero.

@Breaking911 They’ll hold this position until the news cycle moves on, then quietly agree to something cosmetic and call it a win.

RECORD BREAKING SHUTDOWN: The partial DHS shutdown stretches into record territory as Democrats reject blame for the escalating stalemate.

@Breaking911 The filibuster was designed for a Senate that operated in good faith. That Senate doesn’t exist anymore. Preserving the tool while losing the country really doesn’t make any sense. And Democrats have shown they will stop at nothing for power

Trump on terminating the filibuster: "That's part of being a leader. You have to get the votes."

@nicksortor The fact that they keep coming back tells you they’ve already done the math on consequences. And the answer was zero.
