Colorado, California, New York, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Washington, Oregon, Michigan . . . . Between communism and Islam, America is literally shrinking before our very eyes. Apparently no one in DC has noticed it. Or, if they have, they don't care. I want a divorce while there's still time. Trump has to start attending to this matter. The hour is very late.

White libs: "Trump is racist" Random black lady:

@newstart_2024 He's right: there are very few clear answers in life. Things change. The nature of problems changes over time, AND the nature of the solutions changes, too. And, sometimes inaction is a perfectly valid solution.

One line from Thomas Sowell completely rewired how Konstantin Kisin sees the world: “There are no solutions, only trade-offs.” Kisin says we’ve lost the ability to think like this. We treat every big issue — climate change, the NHS, COVID lockdowns, free speech — as if it has a perfect fix. But every policy, every choice, comes with real costs. Locking down might save some lives but costs others. More free speech means some people will get offended. Trying to “solve” complex problems usually just moves the pain around. The brutal truth? Most of our loud political shouting matches are childish because they pretend one side can magically eliminate problems that are eternal. Once you internalize “no solutions, only trade-offs,” a lot of the noise starts sounding ridiculous. What’s a trade-off you’ve had to accept recently — in politics, health, career, or relationships — that made you realise there really are no pure wins?

Jeg er dansker. min datter har født endnu en medborger. En dreng der kom ved kejsersnit. Han skal hedde Bjørn. Hilsen morfar.

@SecRubio He is risen, indeed!

He is Risen.

I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.

@saltysquidswife When they're about 12.

My youngest, who is a 19-yo college freshman, is really bummed that I didn't put together an Easter basket for him. At what age is it okay for me to stop? 😂

@damekatydenise_ Leftists are insane.

Trans womxn are womxn. Trans men are men. Non binary folx are non binary. Anorexics are fat. Validate someone’s identity! Think: Affirm. Respect. Support. Encourage. 🏳️‍⚧️

@Orangemanround3 Being a bad Christian. But I know how you feel. Exactly how you feel.

What's it called when you want to follow Jesus but also knock the shit out of people?

@Tener_president I don't believe that for a moment. The left and the CCP love to run propaganda cmapigns against Trump in hopes of dividing his support. We see through it, and it ain't heppening. They WISH we'd stop supporting him.

「反ポリコレ反リベラルでトランプを持ち上げてたけど、あまりにもトランプがやばすぎたので、トランプ支持を今になって後悔してる」みたいな人が最近Twitterでも散見されるようになったけど、僕はここ数年でむしろ逆にますますトランプ政権への好感度が上がった側の人間なので彼らに全く共感できない

Vietnamese Americans are the most anti-communists and passionate patriots in our country. I met many of them in New Hampshire. They never forget why they came to USA and how precious freedom is!

私はこのトランプ大統領を愛おしく思います🥰 トランプ大統領が安倍元総理を本当に信頼していたのがわかります。 私はそれがとても嬉しいのです。 日本国民のひとりとして、この二人の姿を見ると安心したし微笑ましかった。 もう二度と見られないのが悲しい…

@serketmaxxing And that makes a difference --how?

Do cis people know most of us don't get 'the surgery'?

@mattvanswol Frankly, I think if they ever take back the government, they're going to start killing us.

Today has been a stark reminder that the Left is literally foaming at the mouth for conservatives to die. They fantasize about it. I'll never forget what I saw when Charlie Kirk was ass*ssinated. They didn't even try to hide their glee. Don't forget it.

@FiredUpCoug Fish cake.

My Japanese friends. What are these little things that look like candies? I have seen them in a few images of Japanese dishes posted on X.

在一家公司干满45年，走的时候能带走什么？ 一位土耳其裔移民，在德国宝马工厂干了整整45年。 把所有的青春都留在了流水线上。 今天他正式告别岗位。 宝马没有发什么纪念奖杯。 直接送了他一辆零公里的全新宝马。 老工人接过钥匙，开着这辆车驶出了他打卡大半辈子的厂区。 一个人把一辈子交给一家公司。 公司用最体面的硬通货还他人情。 这种老派的工业时代契约，现在的企业根本学不会。

WOW 🚨 A new Data Center is being built in the Texas Panhandle that will use more power than ALL THE HOMES IN TEXAS COMBINED TIMES 2 - It’ll be the largest data center in the world, at 18 million square feet - The site will span over 6,000+ acres (9 square miles) - It will use up to 11 GW - The on-site generation is described as producing more electricity than 15 states use at their peak

@WallStreetApes They should make it illegal to build these things unless the builders are prepared to supply all their own power and water.

From Martin Iles, reposted: Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I've realised something. The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned. We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, "Freedom!" because we truly think we're as free as they are. Wrong. We're not. Not even close. The laws, the mindset, and the behaviour, is totally different in this regard. Most of all, the governments are totally different. The USA's convictions around core freedoms are on a scale we do not share. Meanwhile, Donald Trump wins the popular vote, the electoral college, the House, and the Senate... a man who, in every other Western country, is held in open derision, if not contempt. For these and other reasons, we are not the same. Yet the West, including Australia, fully expect to rely on the USA for our very survival. If the world turns bad (which will happen - only a question of time), then the whole West, without America, is toast. So, you may ask - if we're not very aligned ideologically, then it must be that we bring something to the party militarily? Well, no... actually... we don't matter that much militarily. The USA has about 470 ships in its navy, including 11 aircraft carriers, 69 submarines, 75 destroyers... plus 110 new ships in the pipeline. Australia has about 30, including 3 destroyers, 7 frigates and 7 outdated submarines. The UK does a little better, with about 60. Meanwhile, the US has over 14,000 military aircraft. A staggering number. Australia has 252 military aircraft. The UK has 556. The US army has just shy of 1,000,000 uniformed personnel in its military. Australia has about 45,000. The USA spends 3.4% ($968 billion) of its GDP on defence. Australia spends 2% ($36.4 billion). The US spends as much as the next 15 largest military-spending countries (including China) combined. The USA has a fighting culture. The men shoot things (a lot) and hunt things, the veterans get favoured in everything from parking spots to boarding planes. A uniformed young man is thanked in the street a dozen times a day. "Oh, the Americans and their guns!" we say, in our smug way. Yes, they have a warrior culture. We do not. We don't have to, because we're a leech on theirs. How many young British men are willing to fight for their country? Now ask the same regarding young American men. The difference is about as wide as it could be. Militarily, we don't offer squat. Meanwhile, look at the way Australia works against America's interests by loving on China. China made us rich and we stay close. This is a Marxist regime with expansionist aims. Again, you have to spend time in the USA to realise just how vast a gulf there is between us on China. Europe, too. They let China have their way everywhere from Germany to Greenland, all the while importing Islam and sending their own people to court for saying hurty words. Somehow, we have landed the deal of a lifetime with the USA that says, "when the baddies come, you'll save us ok?" Because we can't save ourselves. And we live in peace. But we keep gnawing away at freedoms, keep enabling China, and get flabby and disinterested about our military because Uncle Sam's got it. And, let's be honest, Americans are widely looked down on. To add insult to injury, we don't think that highly of our protectors. So, the USA is finally saying "enough." I am here, I can tell you what the vibe is, and that's it. Trump is doing what people want in this regard. They're over it. And we come across all shocked and hard done by. We behave like people with no self-insight at all. Yes, the global alliance system is all over the place now. From America's perspective, it's about time. And I must say, though I be a proud Australian, I am forced to agree. Something has to change.

All you need is two politcal parties. That way, voters vote along the broadest possible lines; otherwise, you end up with multiple parties, each pulling in their own eccentric direction, and the 'winner' of the election is always thwarted when the losing parties coalesce to defeat their policies. It's a recipe for inaction. Sorry, but that SUCKS, and you can keep it!

@TKratman Can you point to any single metric of "freedom" where US is so much better than the rest of the west? It certainly isn't freedom of press at least. Also just two political parties that control everything.
