What I don't get is how lethal injection is both expensive and horribly painful and protracted when it's condemned criminals in the USA, and also so cheap and easy a Canadian MD can assess someone for MAID outside Tim Horton's then drive him to a murder centre for despatch

The Memorial Day speeches are over. The wreaths have been laid, and the holiday graphics have been taken down. Now, Congress is back to work—and it’s time to turn those words into action. True reverence for our military legacy means keeping the promises made to those who survived the battlefields. Leaving 54,000 Chapter 61 combat-injured veterans behind in a broken budget is a devastating double standard. The discharge petition for H.Res. 1247 is open. The #MajorRichardStarAct has 330 bipartisan cosponsors. If yesterday's tributes were meaningful, prove it today. Stop the platitudes. Sign the H.Res. 1247 discharge petition. Finish the job for our combat retirees. #HouseGOP

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video. Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments. The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times. Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it. Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone. The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

Tom Steyer’s argument collapses immediately once you separate compassion from ideology. Yes. Every child deserves dignity, protection, love, and safety. That should not even be controversial. But protecting children does not require society to suspend biological reality. There is no third reproductive pathway in Homo sapiens. No third gamete. No third chromosomal reproductive architecture. No separate human species classified as “trans.” Human biology is sexually dimorphic by design: male and female. Got it? That is basic anatomy, endocrinology, reproductive biology, and evolutionary science. What modern Democrat activists have done is take psychological distress, identity confusion, social contagion, trauma, autism-spectrum overlap, peer influence, online reinforcement, and adolescent insecurity… and reframe all of it as immutable biological truth. Lies. That is an enormous leap unsupported by long-term historical human biology. And notice the emotional mechanism always used: “Kids are under attack.” “They are unsafe.” “They are vulnerable.” “They might hurt themselves.” The moment emotional panic enters the conversation, rational scientific discussion gets suspended or shut down. But protecting children from confusion is not hatred. Questioning irreversible medicalization is not cruelty. Protecting girls’ sports and spaces is not oppression. Refusing to redefine biology is not extremism. Black Americans are increasingly disturbed that adults with power are encouraging minors to view perfectly healthy bodies as problems needing chemical or surgical intervention before the brain is even fully developed. That is not compassion to black parents. It looks like ideological experimentation on children. Which we know all too well from you democrats. Also remarkable… the same activists who say “trust science” suddenly abandon biological science entirely when it conflicts with gender ideology. Chromosomes still exist. Bone density differences still exist. Puberty differences still exist. Musculoskeletal advantages still exist. Reproductive biology still exists. Reality does not disappear because politicians emotionally narrate over it. And here is the larger concern black parents have: children are impressionable. Identity formation during adolescence is highly plastic and socially influenced. When schools, media, celebrities, algorithms, entertainment systems, and Democrat politicians continuously reinforce identity confusion as fashionable, heroic, or spiritually enlightened… vulnerable children absorb it. A civilization should protect children from permanent decisions made during temporary confusion. Real compassion requires truth. TRUTH. Understand? Not ideological Democrat affirmation detached from biology. We are not with that nonsense. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

@TheModerateCase I wasn’t going to like this, then I went back to see what she was responding to, and actually you were very nice to her. What disingenuous BS.

Where did I say that? Is that statement in the room with us? The United States bombed funerals and weddings multiple times in the Middle East throughout the 2000s and 2010s. We have even accidentally bombed allies and our own forces. The strike on that school was very clearly a tragic accident. If you cannot understand that horrific mistakes happen in war, that is a failure of your own moral grandstanding, not mine. You are not making a serious argument by immediately appealing to the tragic, but clearly unintentional, killing of schoolgirls. You are just trying to posture as morally superior while ignoring the reality of war. And again, my post had nothing to do with justifying war. Stop asking random bad-faith questions just so you can feel smarter than you are.

A very sad announcement. I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration. In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least. Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration. In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence. Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.” That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth. Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration." You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible. Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it. The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration. Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail. Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win. If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM. If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

@FrankenforIowa @CynicalPublius Actually he is kind of famously vetted… and doxed. You are a POS.

@CynicalPublius Says the Bot which never did or ever will serve.

Perfumed Prince is big mad that the US Navy has decided to promote based on merit and not genitalia.

A good example of how crime statistics don’t capture the reality of crime in LA is the increase in young women being trafficked on Figueroa in South Central. The state repealed a low allowing cops to arrest women loitering for prostitution. Gangs took advantage and trafficked underage girls out in the open. Fewer arrests, more crime. nytimes.com/2025/10/26/mag…

"Congratulations, ChatGPT. You've earned it."

Two girls aged 14 & 15 were gang raped by three Irish Travellers in Fordingbridge in Hampshire. The Judge Nicholas Rowland failed to jail them. One if the victims speaks out.she believes it condones their behaviour & what was the point of going to court? The Attorney General is reviewing the sentences.

Radical leftist Jennifer Thompson killed her SEVEN-MONTH-OLD unborn baby in an abortion. Thompson aborted her viable, late-term unborn baby after discovering unexpectedly that she was nearly seven months pregnant. The abortion was purely elective – and she got taxpayers to pay for it. Thompson is an “extremist abortion and BLM activist” who attends Antifa riots and advocates for violence. Her posts about her abortion include “graphic detail” about her decision to “end the life of her viable baby at nearly seven months of pregnancy." Thompson said she thought she might be pregnant on when she noticed an abnormal discharge. When a pregnancy test showed positive, she said she called Planned Parenthood and the Lilith Clinic, both abortion facilities, to discuss her “options” and then scheduled an abortion appointment for the next day. She said the Lilith Clinic told her how to apply for the state Medicaid program so that taxpayers would pay for her abortion, and the program “immediately accepted” her because she was pregnant. At the abortion facility, Thompson said the ultrasound technician informed her that she actually was close to her third trimester, somewhere between 27 to 29 weeks, and they could not do an abortion that late at the facility. She said they told her about late-term abortion facilities in Colorado and New Mexico. Instead, she went to the Oregon Health & Science University where, just three hours after learning she was pregnant with a viable, late-term baby, the hospital began the abortion process, according to the archive. "At OHSU getting a full confirmation of how pregnant I am — 27.5 weeks. I get a shot through my abdomen to stop the heartbeat,” Thompson wrote. "I’m admitted to the hospital and I start taking medication to induce labor.” The next day, after a “grueling night” of pain and labor, she said she gave birth to a “2 pound, 7 inch girl. "With no heartbeat.” Thompson ended her story with a profanity-filled tirade against anyone who is not as angry as she is about pro-life efforts to save unborn babies. “While this was probably the most emotionally traumatic thing I’ve experienced, this abortion saved my f—— life,” she wrote. “… But more than that, f—— fuming for those who don’t have that access. F—— fuming that our autonomy is being stripped away. Just know that if you’re not feeling that rage, you’re selfish.” While Thompson claimed aborting her unborn baby was life-saving, medical experts say late-term abortions are never necessary to save the mother’s life. And Thompson never provided any medical reason why she had to have her viable baby killed in an abortion. Approximately 11,000 late-term unborn babies are aborted every year in the U.S. according to the CDC. We must end abortion.

In 2025 Sanjay Gupta said it was a mistake for people to claim that the vaccine stopped infection and transmission. He said other people made those claims but that he never did. As you can see in this video, Gupta is a liar and a fraud.

She was forty-one. Her family called her a beam of light in dark places. February 23, 2026. A bus stop in Virginia. A little after seven at night. A woman gets off the city bus. She steps into the lighted shelter to wait. That is where they found her. Stabbed. Again and again. In the chest. Gone before the ambulance could do a thing. Now here is the part that should make your hands shake. The man charged with killing her was already known to everyone who could have stopped it. More than thirty arrests. A conviction for stabbing a seventy-three-year-old man so hard the blade snapped off the knife. And a pattern the police could see coming. Read this slowly. Months before she died, police emailed the prosecutor's office. Not once. Three times. They wrote that this man had a history of stabbing people. They wrote that he was escalating. And in one email, an officer wrote a sentence that should haunt this entire county forever: It is not a question of if. But when he will wound someone again. Or worse. Or worse. They saw it coming. They said it out loud. In writing. And he stayed on the street. So a woman who never met him sat down in a bus shelter on a Monday night and the warning came true on top of her. She should be home right now. She should be annoyed about the bus running late. She should be the light in someone's dark room tonight. She should be alive. The police knew. The prosecutor was told. The paper trail exists. And a forty-one-year-old woman waiting for a bus paid the price for every ignored word. God bless every family who got the phone call no one is ready for.

LEGACY: @DNIGabbard declassified highly sensitive records and internal documents from the Obama White House. The records make an even stronger case that the 2016 Russia collusion narrative was not rooted in credible intelligence. Rather, intelligence was manipulated by the outgoing Obama Administration in coordination with IC leadership to fit a preferred political narrative. As of May 2026, DNI Gabbard has declassified well over half a million pages of government records that were previously withheld from the American people.

Most Americans have no idea what the “universal health care” system is doing to people in Canada. Dr. James MacLean assessed 45 year-old Thomas Dillon at a Tim Horton’s in Ontario. Dillon told MacLean that he suffered from inflammatory bowel diseases as well as addiction and mental health issues. He was depressed that he had lost his job and was living with relatives. He was experiencing suicidal ideation. The doctor concurred with Dillon’s belief that suicide was the correct response to his problems. MacLean drove Dillon to a funeral home, killed him with a lethal injection and left the corpse with the undertaker. Dillon’s family, who had learned of his intention to kill himself, was frantically trying to save him, but the assessment was so brief that, when Dillon’s sister reached the Tim Horton’s, the doctor had already taken her brother away. The doctor carried out the euthanasia without attempting to contact his suicidal and mentally-ill patient’s family. After the family complained, the doctor was instructed to undergo six months of supervision where his requests to kill someone must be signed off on by another doctor before they are carried out. About 80,000 Canadians have died by euthanasia since 2020.

“Many of these women have been sexually abused, and now they’re required to be strip searched, videotaped naked, and they know that the footage is being saved in the cloud. “This is causing them severe emotional distress.” Today we’re going to take a look at another facet of the hell that the California prison system has created for women. You see, trans-identifying male inmates in the CA penal system are legally required to be treated as female. This means that strip searches of these male inmates must be conducted by female guards if the male inmate demands it. Since the state of CA does not require these men to have had surgery, or even to be on cross-sex hormones7 in order to qualify for transfer to a women’s facility, almost all of these men are still fully intact males with working genitalia. These men were becoming visibly aroused during strip searches, and sexually harassing the female guards. Because CA lives under the progressive version of sharia law, prison officials decided that the reports made by these female guards were not reason enough to justify having these trans-identifying male inmates searched by other men. Instead, they decided to film the strip searches — but because they couldn’t be seen as targeting the trans inmates, they decided that all strip searches in CA’s women’s prisons would have to be filmed, including those of actual women. Furthermore, the videos of these searches must be stored to the cloud. Obviously the knowledge that they are being videotaped naked and the footage is being kept is very distressing to female inmates, ~90% of whom have survived severe physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. Strip searches are already a dehumanizing, degrading, and humiliating experience — and filming them has only made it worse, even as it increased the…enjoyment…that trans-identifying men experience in the process. Does this matter to the state? Don’t make me laugh. California has long since decided that the safety and wellbeing of female inmates is to be sacrificed without hesitation in the pursuit of special privileges for any male rapist, pedophile, or murderer willing to call himself a woman. These monsters locked 3 women in a cell with Tremaine Carroll, one after another, even though he was a convicted sex offender who impregnated his first cellmate and raped the next two. They don’t care what happens to incarcerated women. The virtue signal is everything.

@CultureExploreX Highly educated, morons. And they can’t see that they themselves are to blame for the loss of respect for them and their institutions.

A civilization begins to weaken when its leaders can follow instructions but cannot make decisions. A graduation ceremony should teach young people that achievement deserves dignity. Instead, Centennial High School gave them a lesson in institutional stupidity. Four years of work ended with students sitting soaked in the rain because someone treated a “Rain or Shine” policy like sacred law instead of using basic judgment. This is how societies lose their ability to think. Rules become excuses. Policies replace common sense. Adults hide behind procedure while children pay the price. The issue was never the rain but that no one in charge had the courage to say, “This is ridiculous. Move it inside. Delay it. Protect the students.”
