@JohnCleese By all means, American taxpayers are sick of underwriting your defense budgets.

Yes

@DrInsensitive @KColbertReport People will simply request Hindu-free medical doctors. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Now that India has flooded the world with FFMGs (Fake Foreign Medical Grads) we must rely on other means to exclude impostor doctors. The US has two main defenses against impostors: 1. US doctors must complete a supervised US residency. Unfortunately, this residency requirement has been eliminated in 19 states, including mine. 2. Our second and final safeguard is the licensing exam. Almost all US doctors must eventually pass the three parts of the USMLE (US Medical Licensing Exam.) Unfortunately, exam fraud is as simple as hiring a ringer to take the test for you (he needs to look vaguely like the picture on your driver's license) and avoiding the test centers that check fingerprints. (Grok summary attached.) Or, impostors could obtain the questions in advance, from insiders or from earlier test takers. If this sounds like a conspiracy theory, well, it already happened, and you will never guess where. In 2024, hundreds of scores were invalidated due to leaked questions in Nepal (an Indian suburb) and to anomalous high scores at international centers in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Jordan. The statistically-unlikely scores were eventually blamed on early exam takers sharing the questions in WhatsApp groups. In other news, you can take the first 2 parts of the US medical licensing exam in India. Then you can start practicing medicine in the USA. Your Indian doctor might be a resident who purchased his Indian medical diploma then purchased the US licensing exam questions and took the test in India. Fortunately, Part 3 of the exam, which must be passed at some point during residency, can only be taken inside the USA. So we can breathe easy, right? Well, not exactly. The US medical licensing exam is written and scored by two organizations. The first is the FSMB (Federation of State Medical Boards) whose president and CEO is.... wait for it.... Dr. Humayun Chaudhry. The other organization that writes and scores the US medical licensing exam is the NBME (National Board of Medical Examiners.) NBME's Chairman of the Board is.... wait for it... Dr. Reena Karani. That's her picture below, and why yes, she does happen to be Indian. The physical testing centers are managed by a company called Prometric, whose Chief Products and Technology officer is.... wait for it.... Jay Chakrapani Are you seeing the problem with our safeguards against fake doctors? grok.com/share/c2hhcmQt…

Eric Weinstein just put his finger on something real. Liberal societies go illiberal in two different ways. One is hyper-liberal illiberalism. Open borders, fluid everything, “no person is illegal,” that whole vibe. The other is the backlash - hypo-liberal illiberalism. Hard borders, strong pushback, masculine energy. “Enough.” He was talking about Britain especially. Told them to stop the self-hatred. You built something special. That dry humor. That irreverent creativity. That ability to take ideas and make them world-class. Be proud of it. This feels like one of the clearest explanations I’ve heard for the pendulum we’re all watching swing right now. When one extreme goes too far, the correction comes hard. Societies need both openness and boundaries. Lose your sense of who you are, and things get messy fast. Do you think the UK (and other Western countries) actually need this corrective phase right now, or is it heading the wrong direction?

@C_3C_3 Put us back on the gold standard, and this sh*t will dry up overnight.

How to lose a country and it’s culture… The % of white population in America: 1970: 88% 1990: 80% 2000: 75% 2010: 72% 2020: 62% 2025: 57% The % of immigrant households on government benefits: 1970: 6% 1990: 9% 2000: 18% 2010: 51% 2020: 59% 2025: 61% All by design. Insane.

@80s_Kidz “Slaughter High”—the only time in my life I use the word *trauma.

For me....American Werewolf In London😫

@AlexTran677026 Criminally underrated film.

This is one of the greatest cut-to-credits moments in cinema history. After everything Cage went through — the loops, the deaths, the impossible mission — all it takes is one laugh, one look at Rita… and cut to black. Perfect ending. No explanation needed.

If you could say one thing to this protester that got hit with a bean bag, what would it be? 🤣

It’s true.

@Ally_Sammarco #RepealThe19thAmendment

There is no room for creepy men in positions of power ever. We can and should demand better candidates.

@MensHumor That is the only conclusion that would explain this level of degeneracy.

Is Jeff correct?? 😂

@TheLaurenChen That’s right. An anointed pederast. No thanks!

Never in my life have I seen a white person claim Michael Jackson was white

@elonmusk Don’t vote for him now and there won’t be enough Anglo-Saxons left to elect anyone with their interests in mind.

Frank is right

@RealEmirHan Despite the fact that she’s made herself known as an insufferable feminist, I don’t think that’s accurate.

@GarandThumb1 @krassenstein The only exercise that @krassenstein twink has ever done involves running his hands across his keyboard.

@krassenstein Have you never done crossovers to warm up? Pretty standard with AFSPECWAR and SOCOM.

This is our Secretary of a War, Pete Hegseth. No wonder why we appear to suck at war.

@isaacrrr7 @KColbertReport I never thought I’d come to the realization that our fellow Americans, and more to the point our own brethren, are selling us out to our enemies.

ÚLTIMA HORA - Después de que se revelara que se abrieron 50 mezquitas en Dallas Fort Worth en los últimos 24 meses, una mujer descubrió que el mayor donante del gobernador de Texas, Greg Abbott, es un musulmán paquistaní que le ha dado más de 14 millones de dólares, incluidos 2 millones de dólares solo este año.

@ianmiles They are.

I can't figure out if stoners who make weed their entire personality are more insufferable than militant vegans.

@RealJamesWoods @CityBureaucrat My God she’s ugly.

Are Virginians regretting this yet?

@destinytrack -8

On a scale of 1-10 how excited are you for the Monument of Triumph update? | #Destiny2 (1 lowest, 10 highest)

@CinemaTweets1 Because he’s the guy who all the theatre dorks were ignored by, a man that’s good at everything.

Tom Cruise is profound in The Last Samurai. This performance is unlike anything else Cruise has done in his career. And while this movie earned 4 Oscar nominations, Cruise wasn’t one of them. I just don’t get the Academy’s affinity with constantly snubbing Cruise over and over.

Imagine the worst thing you can say about Joe Biden is that he got old while carrying the weight of the country on his shoulders. He beat Trump when no one else could. He gave America and the world a fighting chance. He rebuilt the economy, passed historic legislation, stood with our allies, and restored dignity after four years of chaos and incompetence. Yes, he believed he still had more to give. That is not a moral failing. That is a man who loved his country and did not want to walk away from the fight when his nation needed him. In the end, he didn't fail the country, we did, because we fully knew the stakes. History will be much kinder to 46 than the pundits ever were. That I know. I’ve got his back. How about you?
