Just a reminder, Webster’s and other dictionaries have changed the definition of ‘fascism’ to match the Allies of WW II. The historically-accurate definition (from an older hard copy of Webster’s) below. Looking up current definitions is left as an exercise for the reader.

Spoiler Alert: there won’t be any next year either. @grok what is the most recently published Fare Box Recovery rate for the NYC transit system?

@OCpatriot_ @CynicalPublius The super taco was the preferred comfort food for me and my BMX newspaper boy brethren in the late 70’s. Eat all the edges first then the meat and cheese packet in the center.

@CynicalPublius I respect you so much, that this is legimately painful for me to read. It's the Jack-in-the-Box not really a taco. Followed by In-n-Out Double Double animal style.

When I first started posting on X there was a particular declarative post that generated more passionate outrage and debate than anything else I had ever posted. I'm going to post it again now. Ready? The best fast food item in the USA is the McDonald's Filet-o-Fish sandwich. Come at me bro.

@CynicalPublius You’ve never had the Fish Sandwich from @CalicoFishHouse and it shows.

@VeryBrexitProbs @grok please summarize military equipment by country for the top 20 countries, in descending order.

MAGA thinks Europe can't defend itself without America. Here's what they don't know. 1. France and Britain have 515 nuclear warheads and 8 nuclear missile submarines. 2. European defence spending hit €481 billion this year. That's more than Russia and China spend combined. The EU's ReArm Europe plan is mobilising another €800 billion. 3. European countries have over 1.7 million active troops. Russia has 1.3 million. 4. EU and UK air forces fly over 1,400 combat aircraft. Their navies have five aircraft carriers, over 60 submarines, more than 120 frigates and destroyers. 5. Europe has over 6,000 artillery pieces and that's before the biggest rearmament wave since the Cold War. Poland alone is adding 212 new howitzers. 6. The British SAS invented modern special forces. The US copied them to build Delta Force. From France's Foreign Legion to Poland's GROM, Europe's elite units are among the deadliest on earth. 7. Europe already has joint military commands ready to fight. The UK leads a 10-nation rapid reaction force across Northern Europe and the Arctic. Finland alone can mobilise 900,000 trained reservists all prepared to fight in arctic conditions. 8. Europe has its own satellite navigation (Galileo), its own defence programme (75 active projects) and is building its own rapid deployment force. The "helpless Europe" story was never about defence. It was about keeping Europe dependent and buying American weapons, relying on American intelligence, following American foreign policy. Thanks to Trump, that now ends.

Article II of The Constitution says the President makes treaties with other countries if 2/3 of the Senate concur. Congress isn’t involved in that. It is silent on canceling treaties. Note: just because Congress makes a law does not imply the law complies with The Constitution. Article II also says the President is the Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces. Which effectively grants him a veto in dedicating forces to NATO under the treaty. He can simply give a stand down order. Thanks for playing.

@NO56303819 @FaytuksNetwork I don't think you understand we don't live in a Dictatorship EO's are illegal and Congress has more authority

BREAKING: Trump "threatened to leave" NATO and "unloaded his frustration" at NATO Secretary-General Rutte in their latest meeting, using the meeting as a "venting session." An EU official says the meeting "went shit," and the "conversation was nothing but a tirade of insults"

@AngryBritbong @MichaelARothman lol you think if we wanted the strait open, it would remain closed? You’re a fool.

@MichaelARothman Usa doesn't control Hormuz, Iran does and there's fuck all USA can do about it..Venezuelan oil is low quality and expensive to refine and years away from being available at scale. So yeah, low iq analysis.

It’s about 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 — and America is winning on every front. Start with oil. The Strait of Hormuz carries 𝟒𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚’𝐬 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲. Trump effectively captured Venezuela’s oil supply in January. As Armstrong put it: “𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘸𝘩𝘰’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯.

Then Europe. With Russian energy off the table and domestic energy hollowed out by the “𝘭𝘦𝘧𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘯𝘦𝘵 𝘻𝘦𝘳𝘰,” Europe is becoming 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐚𝐬.

When a foreign ally’s own news anchors are publicly acknowledging that Trump’s strategy is working — even as it leaves them behind — that tells you everything about who has the leverage.

@JWDalsager Cool. Go ‘defend’ yourselves, parasitic leeches.

NATO. Is. A. Defensive. Alliance. You. Attacked. Someone. Absolute dimwits.

The Trump administration is aiming its counterterrorism machine at far-left groups like antifa, pushing allies to recognize their “political terrorism,” despite offering little evidence that the groups present a dire threat to U.S. citizens. nyti.ms/3Qdgt6F

@AwakenedOutlaw They just sacrificed any remaining sliver of credibility they ever had by saying “something that was done cannot be undone”.

REALITY: It's neither foolish nor impossible. Turns out you can just do things... especially when it's the right thing to do, and it greatly benefits the lawful citizens of your country.

Sending back masses of immigrants would be foolish and impossible economist.com/europe/2026/04…

@SaltyGoat17 FUCK THAT

DIGNIDAD ACT: “This is an amnesty bill, plain and simple. What it does is it gives legal status to about 12 MILLION illegal aliens." HELL NO!!! This cannot be allowed to pass!!

@JLee2028 @Harlan1776 @unlimited_ls You mean like driving a scooter while high? Get your head out of your ass.

SCOTUS - Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985) Cop is guilty sorry. Under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, a police officer may use deadly force to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect only if the officer has a good-faith belief that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.

BREAKING: Despite more than 11,000 officers signing a petition to keep NYPD Sgt. Erik Duran out of prison, a judge sentenced him to three to nine years for throwing a cooler that killed a fleeing suspect on a scooter Former NYPD Sergeant Erik Duran was sentenced to three to nine years in prison for the 2023 death of 30-year-old Eric Duprey Prosecutors said Duran threw a cooler at Duprey during an undercover operation as he fled on a scooter Duprey crashed into a tree and die at the scene. Duran was convicted of second-degree manslaughter in February A police union backed Duran and gathered over 11,000 signatures asking for no jail time

@SteveBakerUSA @CapitolPolice This actually makes sense to me, unlike the 'Gait Analysis' buzzword which comes off like pseudoscience. Maybe the FBI is painting a decoy while they continue investigating Kerkhoff?

THREAD: 🧵What this video means and why it’s an important first disclosure of our work. (Instructions included in comment thread below.)🧵 These side-by-side videos of the gray hoodied J5 pipebomber and former @CapitolPolice officer Shauni Kerkhoff were taken approximately 18 hours apart and less than 2,030 feet (0.384 miles) from each other.⬇️

@TRHLofficial The very fact that Netflix is a merger target indicates they are on the brink of dire straits. Another case of go woke go broke.

In case you missed it, the Netflix Warner Brothers Discovery merger failed. It would have been one of the largest acquisitions in history at $82.7B, putting Warner Brothers under Netflix direct control and producing more woke content, but Netflix withdrew and Paramount has made a $110B offer.

One of the sane ones imo. Trump rarely gives a roadmap to his plans. And he never seeks approval. To me, war isn’t something I favor. I trust Trump to have gone this route for a good set of reasons and he is confident he will achieve his objectives and it will be better for America. And I would add, anyone who doesn’t see Islamic Terrorists as an existential threat to Western Civilization isn’t in touch with reality.

Am I one of the sane ones that understands this concept? Or am I a crazy that doesn’t know he’s crazy?

@nikitabier can you please explain why I'm only seeing stupid videos from people I follow and not the information sharing posts I followed them for (that I see when I click into their timeline)? This new 'feature' of the selection algorithm is increasing my regret index.

@LibertyCappy Stalemate between Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee

Who wins?

@nettermike I think I'd rather witness Democrats' very public discarding of a formerly-useful comrade.

Who else wants to see Steve Hilton crush Swalwell in a debate?

@_Sierra____ @PoliticalStacy x.com/krassenstein/s…

@PoliticalStacy Plz tell me its real lol

Fucking HILARIOUS. 😂

@RonnieHugh13818 @RickD_GK @LynneBP_294 You might want to have that case of CDS looked at.

@RickD_GK @LynneBP_294 California deserves it let more illegals in

A man in California filmed himself at a toilet paper factory saying they need to pay their employees better. As he was doing so, in multiple places he lit areas on fire which caused the factory to burn down. There were no injuries reported, but massive damage to the facility. What are your thoughts on what the outcome for him should be? And could this be avoided if companies would start paying employees better
