Cautiously Pessimistic

@SamanAhsan @GitaGopinath Hi there.

@GitaGopinath @RobertMackey A table full of men deciding the future of the global economy while women carry economies on their backs every single day through unpaid care work, labor, survival, and crisis response. #GenderEquality #WomenInLeadership #Feminism #CareEconomy

A painting of the end of meritocracy: A meeting of the two largest economies and not one woman at the table.

@CollinRugg Restriction, theft, and destruction. 3 things government does best.

NEW: NYPD crushes more than 200 illegal mopeds as the city ramps up seizures of the illegal rides. The 200 scooters are just a small portion of the nearly 6000 that have already been seized. Mopeds are legal; however, thousands of people living in New York aren't registering them, aren't insured, and don't have licenses. The mopeds are a popular ride for illegal immigrants, who swarmed New York City thanks to former President Joe Biden's open border. Video: New York Post.

@blockhim2026 Socialist regimes have started several wars, so your point is thoroughly retarded.

Socialism is so sick I love when tax dollars go to schools instead of wars

Truth.

@BernieSanders So you're saying Mamdani does not stand with ALL his constituents.

Congratulations to Mayor Mamdani. He inherited a huge budget deficit, brought it down to zero, and still invested in childcare, housing and city infrastructure. When municipal governments stand with working families, not billionaires, there is nothing they cannot accomplish.

@AP Retards: "2A only protects muskets, not modern weapons." Same retards: "Muskets are too deadly and must be restricted!"

A musket from 1776 can fire a lead ball at a velocity of around 1,000 feet per second. Imagine what that can do to a human body. Yet under federal and most state laws, it’s exempt from gun regulations. Many antique or replica guns aren’t considered firearms and even convicted felons can own them.

@NYPDnews Priorities.

The NYPD is crushing it when it comes to taking illegal mopeds and scooters off our streets. So far this year, the NYPD has seized over 5,700 of these dangerous, illegal vehicles — and we are not letting up.

@Mrgunsngear "...engaged in business..." "...distributing information..." Sounds American to me.

National treasure, Jordan Derrick (better known as Dugan Ashley), has been arrested by the feds. Charging language below ⬇️ His videos, that are cited in the language below, have been on the internet for years and are still up on his social media as of this post... "KANSAS CITY, Mo. – United States Attorney R. Matthew Price today announced the filing of a criminal complaint against Jordan Derrick, 40. The complaint charges Derrick with one count of engaging in the business of manufacturing explosive materials without a license, one count of unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device, and one count of distributing information relating to manufacturing explosives, in violation of U.S. law. The complaint alleges that beginning no later than Sept. 18, 2023, Derrick began using several social media sites to distribute videos of himself making various explosive materials, to include detonators, nickel aminoguanidine perchlorate (NAP), ethylene glycol dinitrate (EGDN), hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD), hexamine dinitrate (HDN), Research Department eXplosive (RDX), silver acetylide double salt (SADS), trinitroxylene (TNX or R-salt), trinitrotoluene (TNT), pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), aminoguanidine bicarbonate, and ammonium nitrate/nitromethane (ANNM). In his videos, Derrick provided step-by-step instructions on how to make these explosives. According to the complaint, Derrick’s videos were downloaded from his publicly available video sharing accounts and used by Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the individual who conducted an attack in New Orleans on Jan. 1, 2025. Jabbar had created IEDs consistent with Derrick’s instructional videos. The devices placed by Jabbar did not detonate and were subsequently rendered safe by law enforcement. Also, according to the complaint, on May 4, 2026, an explosion occurred at a private residence in Odessa, Mo. Investigators who searched the private residence after the explosion, found two components suspected of being used in explosive devices. The occupant of the residence told investigators that he manufactured explosive devices after watching online tutorials on a social media account that is believed to be utilized by Derrick to distribute information relating to the manufacture of explosives. An investigation of the Odessa explosion is ongoing. If convicted of engaging in the business of manufacturing explosive materials without a license, Derrick would be subject to a sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison. If convicted of unlawfully possessing an unregistered destructive device, Derrick would be subject to a sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison. If convicted of distributing information relating to the manufacture of explosives, Derrick would be subject to a sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison. In the federal judicial system, there is not the possibility of parole. These maximum statutory sentences are prescribed by Congress, and they are provided here for informational purposes. Any sentence would be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Trey Alford and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon Chlarson with valuable assistance provided by Trial Attorney Michael Dittoe of the National Security Division. It was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The allegations contained in the complaint are accusations, not evidence of guilt, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law." #DuganAshley #HoldAnAK

@scrowder Ok then.

Mamdani is so full of sh*t. NY state handed him a bailout, he delayed funding pensions, and he's banking on money from a tax that hasn't even passed. Inevitably at the taxpayers' expense.

@JohnStossel AOC says "No one ever makes a billion dollars. You TAKE a billion dollars." She just described government.

AOC says "No one ever makes a billion dollars. You TAKE a billion dollars." That's nonsense. Under capitalism you can only get rich by offering people something they want. Here’s how capitalism makes most everyone richer:

@PolicyProtest @MrAndyNgo Your approach to X: “oh sick. A press release involving a scary item I hate. Let’s attack Andy to generate clicks.” Everyone else: Stop being a whiny hoplophobe.

@MrAndyNgo Andy’s approach to journalism: “oh sick. A press release involving an ethnic or ideological group I hate. Let’s ask a question designed to generate clicks.” Everyone else: why are guns so accessible in America to the point you could fill the back of a car with them?

Why are foreign national Muslims trying to smuggle dozens of firearms into Canada?

@MarioNawfal Did she get kissed this time?

🇺🇸 A 28-year-old woman enrolled in a NYC high school pretending to be 16, and nobody caught it until the principal went digging on Facebook. She used a fake name, a fake birthdate, and walked into a Bronx classroom for a year without a single verification check flagging her. Wild

True.

@VAGAMU @elonmusk Found the retard.

Our history is better than anybody else history” 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🥴🤣🤣🤣🥴… Imagine having only 250 years of history built on wiping out indigenous cultures, ignoring your roots elsewhere, and still being this arrogant. Looks like a bunch of failed Yellowstone episodes.. There’s a difference between being proud and thinking you're superior to everyone else. What a massive superiority complex. LOL

@2Aupdates @NewYorkStateAG Trannies are uncommon, unusually dangerous, and have a propensity to terrify the public.

Fan fact: This event is located in New York, which bans the sale of body armor. @NewYorkStateAG defended the ban last week by arguing that it isn't commonly used for self-defense, is "unusually dangerous," and has a "propensity to terrify the public"

@bradybuzz Oh, no! Serialized firearms won't need a second serial number engraved on them! It'll be the Wild West! There will be blood in the streets! Drumpf man bad!

The Trump admin has made a disastrous move to weaken ATF firearm regulations & policies. These changes do nothing to protect 2A rights, only serve the special interests of the gun industry. You cannot claim to be tough on crime while taking actions proven to increase violence.

The numbers out of Argentina are jaw-dropping. Everyone said Milei would fail. He inherited GDP in freefall, soaring debt, and exploding deficits. Two years later, every single one of those numbers has flipped. Spectacularly.

@hrkbenowen @JimmyKimmelLive @ABC @Disney Just do like most Americans do and don't watch that trash.

Retweet if you’d like to see @JimmyKimmelLive fired. @ABC and @Disney are tagged.

Just for fun, I thought I'd count the number of state and federal gun laws that Would-Be Assassin #3 ignored. Not "gun violence" laws. Just gun laws. The type that regulate possession for everyone under the theory that it somehow stops criminals. I'm at 10 different laws.📜

Watch and learn, New York. You choke supply with rent control, then act shocked when prices explode and units vanish. You remove the chokehold, supply floods back in, and prices fall because people can finally build, rent, and negotiate freely.
