@RealSpitfire I'm with you, I'll be voting too. But a lot of young voters who got Trump over the line Are FURIOUS. And are going to, at best, sit at home. I'm expecting a bloodbath.

No matter how angry I am with Republicans, I will never stay home and willfully hand my country over to Democrats. They want us dead or imprisoned. Not gonna happen.

It's Biblical and good to convey something along the lines of, "God can give your future husband the supernatural capacity to get over it, and give your marriage the grace to overcome your past." That's godly. While you're at it, you should also explain that "many quality Christian men won't want to touch you with a ten-foot pole, and that's okay, because God's got plans." But this sounds more like, "Your previous whorishness has given you a bouquet of imperishable glory roses" or "your past harlotries will turn into holy rubies and purity pearls." Redeemed sin is a blessing paid for by a bloody Savior. But there's nothing "beautiful" about it. It's still ugly as sin. Something ugly, baptized in blood, is still ugly. It's just covered. Romans 8:1 says, "There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those of us in Christ Jesus." But the lack of shame in forgiven sins does NOT mean those sins are something you take pride in. That's the error here. God allows your sins to be overcome, but He doesn't turn them into purity piñatas full of little chastity medals. Romanticize whoredom any more for the easy X-likes, and you'll have church girls aiming for slut-trophies so they get a good testimony out of it. I promise you that's not far-fetched.

Does the pro Iran war crowd have an argument other than, "YOU'RE AS CRAZY AS TUCKER!"? This is getting to be the persuasion-by-threat I wrote about this week re: voter fraud, masking, climate change, etc etc. You might intimidate people out of saying what they believe, but you don't change any minds.

@MattH_4America I'm listening and screaming at the top of my lungs to my peers, to anyone who will listen. I hope I can get at least some of them to rouse from their slumber and honor their God-given duty to the next generation, to their own, not strangers. But it's a hard sell.

For most Americans under the age of 45, the American Dream is dead To everyone over the age of 60, married, with 3 kids, 6 grandkids, and a home that is paid for, just understand this: Your country will radically change in the next 10-15 years because no one is listening to us

@creation247 What an enlightening and honest lesson!

Every teacher in America should do this:

The younger generations, millennials and Gen Z, want life affordability, good jobs, and an America focused government, not one that engages in more foreign wars. It’s a cruel irony that the American troops soon to be sent into Iran will be Gen Z and millennials (again), by the very President and admin that promised no more foreign wars, to make life affordable for Americans, and a strong American economy producing good American jobs.

@tenyearsnow Birds are notorious for their ability to sense free handouts

Unpopular opinion: waiting to have sex until marriage is one of the *best* things you can do for your long-term chances, because co-learning sex is one of those key bonding rituals which glues you to your spouse. Emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Guys who arrive at the wedding chapel with a body count often have a disassociated capacity for personal intimacy, and women who arrive at the wedding chapel with a high body count often have warped self-respect. In each case, they will end up trying to repair damage *on top of* trying to re-teach themselves the art of doing it new. Just spare yourself the headache, and wait. Yes, it'll be clumsy education as you're both fumbling and bumbling through it. But if neither of you has a lot of experience, it's all new, and there can be a great deal of joy in that.

Put up a picture of who hired them and it will explain everything

American citizens are now keenly aware that their taxes are just redistribution programs for foreign carpetbaggers, comfortable retirees, and social degenerates. We have not seen the bottom yet caused by this loss of legitimacy.

I agree that women shouldn’t be discouraged if they have a promiscuous past. What they should do however is be prepared to do the work to recondition their reward system and behaviors and reverse whatever trauma they caused or experienced. Telling them that they can just magically be great wives because Jesus saves is a lie. You aren’t going to become a professional athlete or mathematician because Jesus saves either; you actually have to train and learn. Being a great “wife” or “husband” requires self development. If you have been doing all the wrong things, then you are going to require MORE self development then a woman who did the right things. And that’s ok. But what is not ok is these simp pastors lying to these women and telling them otherwise.

American grads can’t find work but 381,000 foreign student were granted work authorization ! America last policy

I didn’t want to say this too soon, and I still hope I’m wrong and I’ll gladly eat these words, but I think Donald Trump just pissed away a ten year legacy of the most remarkable political career in a hundred years, just to give Israel their war

The Senate's institutional hollowness was exposed when Thune and Schumer pushed through a 3 AM vote to strip ICE funding with only 5 senators present. I no longer take seriously any appeals to procedure or tradition. The rules are engineered to serve K Street, preserve lawmakers' comfort, and sideline the public they claim to represent.

The war in Iran is turning young voters away from the GOP, and anyone telling you otherwise is gaslighting you. They may not switch to voting Democrat (as they should not, because American foreign policy has been awful under both parties), but many will simply stay home. The GOP already struggles to generate large voter turnout for anyone who is not Trump, and this conflict is disenfranchising younger voters and independents in record numbers. The only people who support war with Iran are boomers who believe Israel is the source of all good in the world, and spiritual boomers who treat Fox News like a direct link to God. Every single person I know in real life is against it. Diehard MAGA supporters cannot deliver a midterm victory on their own. Why is this approach failing so badly? Because conditions in the country are not good enough to make it palatable without widespread backlash. If the economy were booming, the cost of consumer goods were much lower, foreign visa workers were not replacing American jobs, and younger people could afford homes, it would have been an easier sell. The truth is that Trump has faced incredible roadblocks at every turn, both judicially and legislatively. He cannot even get the SAVE Act through, which should be a slam dunk. Our Senate has been largely useless and often malicious. If things are not already going well, you cannot simply pile on something like this. I am not one of the "deportations are not even happening" people, because they absolutely are. We now have net negative immigration for the first time in decades. The problem is that there is no realistic way to deport people at the rate they were entering. We should have paid Erik Prince his proposed bounty to take over operations and complete the task successfully. You cannot treat political X as an accurate reflection of how the rest of the country feels, but the sentiment is clearly trickling down into the broader population. Our support for Israel is becoming a major issue with younger voters. Even political normies are starting to talk about the country being owned by Israel. Water cooler discussions are shifting toward billionaire pro-Israel donors like Miriam Adelson, with people claiming Trump is owned. This represents a huge shift. Democrats offer the same level of support to Israel (look at the funding provided during the Israel-Palestine conflict), but they are much quieter about it. Republicans throw a celebration every time they mention Israel. This completely turns off younger voters. This is not black-pilling. While I do not believe the midterms will bring a total blue wave, I do believe Democrats will take the House and Senate in the coming elections. Why would Republican voters turn out when Congress has failed to accomplish anything meaningful in the last year? 2028 is not entirely lost, but at this rate it will be. Trump needs to pivot all of his focus back to the domestic issues that won him his elections. That is what normal people care about. When average soccer moms are talking about Netanyahu being the president of the United States, your party is in trouble. The bombings are already unpopular, but boots on the ground would be a disaster. US casualties would not sit well with anyone, and for a party already suffering from dwindling support, it would be a death sentence in the elections.

Health care is ridiculously expensive because a shrinking group of people who have to pay for their own health care also has to pay for a growing group of people who don’t have to pay anything at all.

@benlandautaylor You don't have to kill all the predators. You merely have to kill enough of them to where they understand that they might actually have to pay for their crimes.

@benlandautaylor Swift justice serves as a deterrent, not a transactional "bargain". But we've let the predators dicker their way down to "affordable" penalties. As of now, crime really DOES pay. But once flock awakens and "street justice" begins in earnest, the predators will think twice.

The Bar Association won't like me stating the obvious, but this is the inevitable conclusion if the Courts don't make a massive corrective turn in the very near future. We're about to see lynchings and local tribal protection racket gangs come back out of sheer necessity.

@dissidentwest "Doesn't benefit us"???? Don't be silly. It's disposing of your extra income for you! All those extra dollars you're spending on gas would have been WASTED on savings or a nicer car, or home improvements, or travel with the family. Learn some gratitude, son!

Hey we may not have gotten $5k DOGE checks, $2k tarriff rebates, 20 million deportations, the abolishment of the IRS and the Department of Education or cheaper gas but at least we got a war that nobody wanted that doesn't benefit us in any material way whatsoever.
