Deporable

@MarkRuffalo While you often advocate for democratic socialism and corporate accountability, Rand viewed laissez-faire capitalism as the only social system based strictly on individual rights. In her philosophy of Objectivism, she argued that capitalism allows individuals to trade freely as independent equals, using reason and mutual consent rather than government force. For Rand, capitalism was not just an economic tool for efficiency. It was a moral system that rewarded innovation, personal achievement, and self-reliance. She believed that when creators, scientists, and entrepreneurs are left free to pursue their own self-interest, society naturally benefits from their technological and economic progress. While your views focus on correcting systemic inequalities, Rand’s work serves as a reminder that the original premise of capitalism is rooted in human creativity, personal liberty, and opposition to state coercion.

How Conservative is Jake Merrick? Jake Merrick is gaining popularity in the Oklahoma Governor 2026 Republican primary, especially among Christian conservative and America First voters looking for a candidate focused on principle over politics. 🔹 Background Merrick is a former Oklahoma State Senator for District 22 (2021–2022). He is a seminary graduate with a Master of Divinity, former pastor, college professor, business owner, radio host, and adoptive father. His campaign centers heavily on faith, family, and Christian conservative values. 🔹 Strong America First / Conservative Positions Merrick stands out as one of the strongest social conservatives in the race: • Abortion: Self-described abortion abolitionist supporting a total abortion ban from conception with no exceptions. • Social Issues: Authored legislation restricting transgender students from opposite-sex school restrooms and blocking vaccine mandates from state agencies. Strong supporter of parental rights, homeschooling, religious liberty, and traditional family values. • Second Amendment: Supports expanding gun rights and takes a strong constitutionalist position on firearms. • Limited Government / America First: Advocates reducing bureaucracy, cutting taxes and spending, ending foreign ownership of Oklahoma land, protecting private property rights, and limiting lobbyist influence. His campaign is heavily grassroots-driven. • Energy & Economy: Strong supporter of oil, gas, agriculture, and “Oklahoma First” economic policies. 🔹 Record & Controversies Merrick’s legislative tenure was short but largely consistent with his platform. • Lost 2022 Re-Election: Defeated in the Republican primary after opposing a major school voucher/school choice bill he argued was influenced by special interests. Supporters viewed the move as principled; critics saw it as anti-reform. • Minor Optics Controversy: Merrick once won a raffle for a cosmetic laser resurfacing procedure during a campaign-related event. He reportedly never used it, and no ethics violations or misuse of funds were alleged. No major corruption allegations or personal scandals have surfaced publicly regarding Merrick. 🔹 Overall Assessment Strengths: • Strong on life issues, Christian values, parental rights, and cultural conservatism. • Anti-establishment messaging resonates with grassroots conservatives. • Authentic faith-based background appeals strongly to evangelical voters. • Consistent ideological positions. Potential Weaknesses: • Limited legislative experience and loss in his only re-election bid raise electability questions. • Some positions, particularly abortion with zero exceptions, may be viewed as politically difficult statewide. • Lower fundraising and name recognition compared to larger candidates like Drummond and McCall. Bottom line: Jake Merrick represents the Christian conservative and America First wing of the Oklahoma GOP. Supporters see him as authentic and uncompromising on core principles, while critics question whether his approach can win statewide in 2026. What do you think? Is Jake Merrick the grassroots conservative Oklahoma Republicans are looking for? #Oklahoma #OKGOP #GovernorRace #JakeMerrick #AmericaFirst #ConservativeValues

@C_3C_3 Please, have some compassion. Do you know how stressful it is trying to coordinate that many vacation days around your corporate lobbyist fundraisers, while ignoring the American citizens they supposedly work for.

The Senate is on vacation again… “Public Servants” 200 vacation days Sexual harassment slush fund Taxpayer funded pension Cadillac healthcare Gym membership Insider trading Lobbyist bribes Armed security Flights & Food Childcare Allowance Etc No wonder they never leave.

@ClownWorld Teachers unions too, if that isn’t too much to ask…? 🙏🙏 Lol.

Hell yes

Remember when the GOP gave Elon Musk a standing ovation in front of the American people... ...and then only voted on 1 DOGE cut, didn't defund the Taliban, gave $315 MILLION to a far Left group that DOGE defunded, and never passed the SAVE ACT? I don't understand the GOP...

Key criticisms of Rep. Gabe Vasquez on law enforcement: Critics, primarily Republicans and conservative groups, accuse Vasquez of gaslighting voters in his competitive NM-02 district by rebranding as a “strong ally” of police while his 2020 record shows alignment with “defund the police” rhetoric during the George Floyd protests •2020 BLM statements: As a Las Cruces City Councilor, he attended a protest (reportedly disguised) and told a reporter: “It’s not just about defunding the police, it’s about defunding a system that privileges white people over everyone else.” He called for deconstructing “systems of oppression” including law enforcement. •Support for budget cuts: He replied to a constituent pushing a 50%+ cut to the local police budget with “full support” for “transformational reform” and the BLM movement. Critics link this to rising local crime. •Deleted posts and flip-flop: He scrubbed old social media posts rationalizing unrest and now highlights votes for police funding, rural department grants, and anti-crime bills — actions opponents call a calculated moderate pivot for elections. Additional attacks include past personal police incidents (e.g., alleged threats, racial slurs in old reports) as evidence of contempt for law enforcement.

Democrat Rep. Gabe Vasquez (NM-02) is trying to gaslight voters by presenting himself as a consistent ally of law enforcement. His record says otherwise. 👇

America owes it to our combat veterans for giving up their life’s to protect ours! This legislation needs to pass. The legislation would end the VA offset that reduces retirement pay for combat-injured veterans medically retired before 20 years of service, allowing them to receive both full military retirement and disability compensation.

Losing winnable elections through over-explained academic white papers referencing why the party can’t define a woman. Infighting: Spending months debating a single vocabulary word instead of passing the bill. Aesthetics: Designing organic, fair-trade canvas tote bags for protests that get rained out. Apologizing: Issuing a 12-part public statement expressing deep regret for a tweet from 2011. Anxiety: Worrying about the political strategy of an election happening eight years from now.

Drawing a blank! Whatcha all got?

Juries still out, haven’t been able to find any provable quotes or action, share additional information. Legal and Official Actions as AG: Drummond has repeatedly joined or led multi-state coalitions supporting Trump administration policies, including: • Backing Trump’s executive order on sex designations on passports. • Urging the Supreme Court to uphold Trump’s birthright citizenship policy. • Defending Trump’s activation of the National Guard in cities like Chicago, Portland, and Los Angeles. • Supporting funding cuts/withholding over issues like transgender bathroom policies in schools and other enforcement actions.

🚨Exclusive News: Democrats on Reddit are encouraging Republicans to vote for Gentner Drummond in the GOP primary for Governor, arguing he is the most moderate, most anti-Trump, and “least crazy” candidate in the race Earlier this year Senator Shane Jett said Drummond is encouraging Democrats to vote for him in the Republican Primary for Governor The day Drummond announced he was running for Governor he loved a comment on Facebook that said: “Democrats for Drummond” What does this tell you? The link will be provided in the comments so you can check this thread out for yourself

@JakeMerrick4Gov @grok What have other states experienced in raising the minimum wage.

I believe in the FREE market! I hope the general public can see past the superficial compassion mandatory minimum wage comes cloaked as. It’s actually government overreach that will drive prices high and good businesses toward closure. Vote NO on SQ832

@WallStreetApes I’d hirer her with core goals of holding students accountable, stop dumbing down standards, and ensure grades reflect true learning.

This American needs to lead the Department of Education “This is my audition to become the head of the US Department of Education - My first act of office will be immediately abolishing the No Child Left Behind Act. Yes, we will be leaving children behind. If they fail a class, they will have to repeat it - My second act is one that I'm very passionate about. We will be bringing zeros back. If you don't know, in many schools in the US right now, students receive 40% or 50% if they do zero work, if they do not complete an assignment. And my school included, and many other schools, are not going to be allowed to give a student a 50% if they do not turn in any work. They will have to receive a zero. Likewise, there will be no completion grades, If you just attempt an assignment, that doesn't mean you get a 55%. Like, if you get a 1 out of 10, you earned a 10% on that assignment, and that's okay. Sometimes failing happens, and we don't need to just inflate the grades just for fun. Grades will reflect students' actual performance and understanding of the content - The third one I'm very excited for as well. Teacher evaluations will take place once a year and teachers will be observed by another current teacher from a different school. Teachers would volunteer to be evaluators. They would get a sub for the day, no questions asked, and then they would evaluate objectively. That way the person evaluating you does not know you and does not have any personal bias towards you. Hopefully. - The fourth one, I think this should be common sense, but I hear that it happens all the time at some schools. Never at mine. But teachers shouldn't be expected to work for free. I hear elementary teachers are doing these before and after work things that they aren't getting paid for, like lunch duty or recess duty or pickup duty, whatever it is. The school needs those things covered. People can volunteer for it, and then they have to get paid for it. They can't force you to cover other people's classes for free. They have to pay you extra if they're gonna take away your lunch or your prep or whatever time that is supposed to be yours and then force you to do something without getting paid. There will be no more voluntelling. Hire this woman. The most important thing we need to do is hold students back and force them to learn the work. No more dumbing down out standards

It's not your cute little 5mW cat pointer. This is big-boy territory — probably a fiber laser cutter/engraver repurposed (or sold) as a "burning laser" / directed-energy toy for people who think "Molotov cocktail" is too mainstream. Think 50–300+ watts continuous output, 1064nm infrared (invisible to the eye, hence the visible spot from the thermal bloom and any visible helper beam). The yellow lens cap, heavy cabling, and separate controller box are all telltale signs of serious power. Basically: the kind of device that makes range officers nervous, gets you on multiple watchlists, and lets you dramatically announce "the tree is now my bitch" while your neighbors wonder why their insurance premiums just went up. Peak 2026 deplorable engineering. 10/10 for commitment to the bit, 0/10 for subtlety.

You can now get 1kW lasers that can cut through tree branches This IS the future we were promised

Let’s get it clear once and for all. It’s not about race, folks. That’s a Democrat trick. It’s about CULTURE. Am I a racist? Absolutely not. Am I a culturalist? Unequivocally, yes. If you can’t assimilate to this culture, our values, our laws, and our traditions, get out.

ATTENTION MODERATE DEMOCRATS: This is what your party leadership has wrought, all because you either weren’t paying attention or you partook in the social contagion of the syndrome of hating the other side so much that you just didn’t want to admit how utterly wrong this is. It’s time to reassess.

Oh, no. Please don’t go. How will the country survive if the heroic public servants working a grueling 140 days a year—while dragging in a mere $174,000—abandon us for the private sector? Let’s do some quick math for the folks back home. The average American clocks in for 260 days a year [1]. The majority of those people bring home less than $45,000 annually [2]. That means everyday workers are putting in nearly double your hours for about a quarter of your pay. Yet, somehow, you are the ones facing an existential crisis over "proper compensation." The threat that we will be "left with some real idiots" if you leave is especially rich. Have you looked around the chamber lately? If a six-figure salary for a part-time schedule is the only thing keeping our brightest minds in Washington, the system is already broken. Don't let the revolving door hit you on the way out. The private sector expects people to work in August.

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

The Reality Check •The "Gerry-Mander" Special: Acting shocked when a hyper-partisan map gets blocked is peak political theater. •The Outrage Formula: Pretending it is about "democracy" when it is actually about math and job security. •Both Sides Do It: It is always a "threat to our republic" when the other side does it, but "voter empowerment" when your team tries. •The 2026 Strategy: Maybe try winning over voters with actual policies instead of relying on creative cartography.

The Supreme Court of the United States has now joined the Supreme Court of Virginia in choosing to nullify an election and the votes of more than three million Virginians. These Virginians made their voices heard — casting their ballots in good faith to push back against a President who said he’s “entitled” to more seats in Congress before voters go to the polls. As Governor, I will make sure voters know when and how to cast their votes this year. Because our votes are how we choose the representation we deserve.

How corrupt is our Congress? You can get 357 Representatives to protect their sexual harassment files but you can’t get 60 Senators to protect our elections. It’s sickening.

Hakeem Jeffries: “Not a single undocumented immigrant in this country gets a dime of federal taxpayer dollars for any part of Medicaid coverage.” Lying under oath is a CRIME. CHARGE HIM.
