I’m building my voice in political commentary. Expect opinions on politics, society, and current affairs. No noise, just takes.

@MarioNawfal Not just trade routes, this was also about spheres of influence and rising imperial competition.

🇬🇧🇩🇪 A railway stretching from Berlin to Baghdad was enough to make London nervous. Prof. Richard Werner argues that around 1900, Germany and the Ottoman Empire began building the Berlin-Baghdad Railway, a Deutsche Bank-backed project designed to connect Europe and the Middle East by land. The route threatened to bypass British-controlled sea lanes and weaken one of the foundations of British power: control of global trade. @professorwerner

@BasilTheGreat Religious freedom is legally protected in many countries; accommodation isn’t “go back,” it’s coexistence.

The FBI needs a database of these blood thirsty liberals “I'm so glad World War III has finally started. It's gonna be so nice to see these conservatives finally die — just like Charlie Kirk” We cannot coexist with people who want us dead Several studies and large surveys find that self-identified liberals report higher rates of mental illness Pew Research in 2020: Among white liberal women under 30, 56% reported a mental health diagnosis, compared to 27% for moderates and conservative women in the same group General Social Survey analysis found extreme liberals had a 150% increased rate of mental illness compared to moderates Gallup polls found Republicans consistently reported higher “excellent” mental health scores of 58% vs 38% for Democrats Liberalism is a mental disorder. There is statistically proof for this

@gtconway3d Some of these points raise valid harm-reduction and media ethics questions, but they still need consistency, standards shouldn’t shift by party or candidate.

A fair, thoughtful, and nuanced assessment worth reading.

I have so many thoughts about this Platner sexting story I don't even know where to start. Here they are and you can all yell at me about them: * I doubt this changes anybody's vote in the primary or general election. There's already so much shit out there about him, and a lot of Mainers are sticking with the guy — which is probably a testament to how pissed off people are about the economy and the political establishment in both parties. * That said, the vetting on Platner was horrific. I get that a lot of people are excited about his economic messaging (I like a lot of it too) and the access they have to him, but his backers really should have done a better job of finding a better candidate (most of them are writing that economic messaging that everybody loves and most of them are people I respect and admire.) * Leaking a private conversation you had with a candidate's wife is shitty, and I would never work with someone who would do that. Hope the money was good for whoever did it, and I hope you get a cushy job shitting on Dems on Fox News. That's a fundamental violation of trust, even if you hate the guy. * Platner doesn't seem like an especially good dude, but Susan Collins sucks. She's a rubber stamp for Trump who will approve his SCOTUS picks and certainly isn't going to stand up to him on launching stupid forever wars. If you think about this purely as a harm-reduction voter, I'd rather Platner be in the Senate than Collins. I know she's going to sell out the people of Maine while pretending to be a moderate — I don't know what kind of senator he'll be despire all this oppo. * Ken Paxton is also a creep and an adulterer and a lot of the Republicans reveling in this are disgusting for ignoring how shitty of a human being Paxton is. Not to mention Trump himself. Paxton literally protected child sex predators he was friends with—that's worse than any of the oppo out there on Platner... yet. Have at it. Love you people.

Tourists always head to the beach here in Northwest Florida, and I don't blame them. We have the world's most beautiful beaches right here on the Gulf of America. However, they miss our unbelievable crystal clear springs and creeks. If you come to Northwest Florida beaches, I promise you'll have your best day of vacation, kayaking or canoeing down these wonders. There's businesses who rent the kayaks and they'll pick you up way down stream and bring you back to your vehicle. Just look into it. You'll thank me later.

British students and their teachers visited a local mosque to hear an imam preach about “peaceful Islam.” The UK has fallen to Islamic invaders. Do you agree we should ban radical Islamic immigration and start deportations before it’s too late? A. Yes B. No
