@PantenePBL Almost exactly 2 years later my daughter decided to donate her hair again. She has been begging for months to cut her hair, but it hasn't been long enough. Today it was. I love your big heart, so proud of you!

Pourquoi le socialisme ne marche pas, expliqué pour un enfant de 10 ans. T'es dans une classe de 30 élèves. Un élève bosse comme un fou et a 18 de moyenne. Un autre fait rien et a 4. Le prof décide que c'est injuste et donne à tout le monde la moyenne de la classe : 11. Celui qui avait 18 arrête de bosser. Pourquoi se fatiguer si ça change rien ? Celui qui avait 4 continue de rien faire. Pourquoi bosser si on te donne 11 gratuitement ? L'année suivante la moyenne de la classe est à 7. Puis 5. Puis 3. Le prof ne comprend pas. Il pense que le problème c'est que les élèves ne sont pas assez solidaires. Alors il met en place des punitions pour ceux qui ne font pas assez d'efforts. Il surveille tout le monde. Il décide qui étudie quoi. Il interdit de changer de classe. C'est exactement ce qui s'est passé. À chaque fois. Dans chaque pays. Sans exception. URSS, Chine, Cuba, Venezuela, Corée du Nord, Cambodge, Éthiopie, Allemagne de l'Est. 40 tentatives. Même résultat. À chaque fois. Le socialisme punit ceux qui produisent et récompense ceux qui ne produisent pas. Tout le monde finit par ne plus produire. Et quand plus personne ne produit, le gouvernement utilise la force pour obliger les gens à travailler. C'est pas un accident. C'est le design.

Maybe the people saying Black people are too stupid to get an ID to vote… are the racists. Maybe the people saying married women can’t figure out how to get a birth certificate… are the sexists. Maybe the people calling everyone else a threat to democracy… are the ones trying to rig it. Maybe the people obsessed with “equity” while ignoring merit… are the ones holding people back. Maybe the people who can’t name a single limit on immigration… are the extremists. Maybe the people who say they’re fighting for the working class… while flying private, actually aren’t. Maybe the people who say they care about the poor… have run every major American city for 50 years and made them ALL worse. Maybe the people calling for more gun control… travel with armed security paid for by taxpayers. Maybe the people who claim to love science… but can’t define what a woman is aren’t following it. Maybe the people demanding unity while calling half the country fascists… don’t actually want unity.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Maybe it was never about justice, equity, tolerance, or democracy. Maybe it was always about power. And maybe the way you know that, is that they never stop accusing YOU of exactly what THEY are doing.

Republicans. I stopped arguing with Democrats about voter ID. I'm AGREEING with them now. Trap set! Republicans. I stopped arguing with Democrats about voter ID. I'm AGREEING with them now. They have told us — loudly, repeatedly, for YEARS — that requiring identification to exercise a constitutional right is racist, discriminatory, and an unconstitutional burden on marginalized communities. Identification requirements disproportionately impact Black Americans, women, and low-income citizens. Their words, not mine. Fine. I accept the premise. Which means every gun control law requiring identification must go. Background checks. NICS requirements. Waiting periods. All of them demand ID. And those requirements fall disproportionately on Black Americans and married women — by statistically documented margins. By the left's OWN logic, that is systemic racism embedded directly into the Second Amendment. So I wrote the bill. (see my X articles) The Constitutional Firearms Access Act. No government-issued ID required. Verbal attestation from a neighbor is sufficient. No background check. No waiting period Sound outrageous? It is the EXACT same standard Democrats demand for voting. The Constitution does not create a hierarchy of rights. You do not get to pick which amendments get safeguards and which ones do not. Either identification requirements are discriminatory barriers to constitutional rights — or they are not. You cannot argue both positions without exposing yourself entirely. Republicans, you have two choices. Pass the SAVE Act — voter ID for elections. OR pass the Constitutional Firearms Access Act — no ID required to buy a firearm. Democrats already made the argument FOR you. I already wrote the legislation FOR you. YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE. Look at my X Articles for the bill. But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who understands that the Bill of Rights does not come with a "pick your favorite" option. #MAGA #Trump #Veterans

One of my contrarian takes: Society peaked in the 80s, and it’s been in slow decline ever since. It was the last era of widespread optimism. You can feel it in the music and movies. “Excess meets innocence.” The 80s also mark the end of the analog world—local economies, in-person everything, and a certain forced simplicity. Malls, movie theaters, magazines, and BMX. Then, beginning in the 90s, came the tidal wave of tech: Mobile phones The internet Social media AI All incredible innovations, with lots of positives. But on the whole I think they’re *net negatives* for society. We replaced a finite, real-world experience with an infinite, digital one. Infinite information. Infinite comparison. Infinite distraction. Human’s aren’t wired for that, and you can see the consequences all around us.

@CREwithGarrett A simple example of the infinite: I often say that we carry all the world’s problems in our pocket (via social media and the always-on news cycle). We are not wired for that.

@Frankeudy I was at the Garden when your Dad won the Championship in '96. It was absolutely crazy in there.. i'll never forget it. Congratulations!! @DRxBONES

Radko Gudas injured Sidney Crosby’s knee last month and just did this. Maybe it’s time we start handing out long suspensions to goons so the stars can be on the ice. No one buys tickets to see Radko Gudas. They do to see Sid and AM34.

Time for delusional Rangers fans to cry about the deadline. Worst fan base in the NHL

Last political post for awhile I hope, but this has to be said. I’m not a Trump supporter and honestly, a lot of people who aren’t Trump supporters are still completely fed up with the far left right now. Not because of “progress,” or “fairness,” or any of the values they claim to own. It’s because of the behavior: the purity tests, the tribalism, the reflex to label anyone who disagrees, even slightly, as an enemy. One wrong word, one nuanced opinion, one “I don’t fully agree,” and suddenly you’re a fascist, a bigot, or “part of the problem.” That’s not activism. That’s a cult mindset. Compromise is treated like betrayal. Questions are treated like violence. And “the science” gets invoked like a religious slogan, right up until the data becomes inconvenient, then it’s ignored, reframed, or shouted down. Meanwhile, the same people who demand empathy have none for anyone outside their in-group. Normal people are exhausted. We want solutions, not moral grandstanding. We want reality, not ideology. And we’re done pretending this kind of insane extremism is “just being passionate.” Sincerely, Normal people everywhere

Voter ID is racist, but if you want to shovel snow in exchange for a government cheese coupon, you better have two forms of ID and your social security card. The irony here is the reason they’re doing this is because it’s ILLEGAL for any government official to knowingly hire an undocumented employee, and the only way they can be sure they don’t violate federal law, is by requiring proof of citizenship to shovel snow. Mamdani just literally made the case for how voter ID prevents election fraud.

THE GOAL HEARD AROUND THE WORLD 🥇🥇 #WINTEROLYMPICS

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z: You buy a Pokémon card for $50. Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it. The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes." You: "…I didn't sell it." Government: "Don't care. Pay up." You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received. Next month? That card drops back to $50. Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs. That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax... Now picture this. Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off. But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have. So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday. Gone. To pay a tax on money that was never real. Now picture the opposite. Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it. Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000. He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore. Does the government give him his money back? No. Does the government give him his truck back? No. Does the government care? No. They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine. You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive. You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things. It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday. They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created. There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate. I hope you understand what's at stake.

Why are we so against nuclear?

@factpostnews This kid made a bad decision because the media and politicians he trusted incited emotionally charged activism rather than promoting calm, peaceful demonstration. He's paying the price, and they're using him as a prop.

May, 2016. CNN does a segment entitled "A Day with ICE in a so-called Sanctuary City." CNN literally rode around with ICE from the break of dawn until nighttime, watching while ICE conducted raids and arrested illegals. ICE arrested some right at their jobs. CNN was not criticizing ICE. They were celebrating ICE. It was "exclusive access" during the Obama years and CNN considered it a privilege to get to watch ICE work. ICE even made a "mistake" arrest. CNN had no problem with it. Six months later Trump won the election and ICE was then labeled the gestapo.

Here you go a useless politician gaslighting people. This is exactly how people get killed. Just tell people to protest but don't obstruct. They aren't playing around let's try and save lives here.
