I'm constantly astounded that people don't get just how deeply the idea of "Screw you, I do what I want" is ingrained into American culture.

In 2017, there was a huge global crisis related to Qatar. Almost the entire Arab league issued a blockade because they said Qatar’s open support for terrorism (especially via Al Jazeera) made relations intolerable. Donald Trump publicly backed the blockade and spoke out about

They say this stick: "Rapid fire killing machine." Cave Catgirl look. It bolt-action stick. One pull. One bang. Work same hundred winters. Now bolt stick also "rapid fire?" Words mean nothing now. This show truth: There no finish line called "gun safety." First chief say:

The murderers fired 33 rounds in the first minute at Bondi. There's blood on the hands of the politicians and regulators who enabled that, who sold out to the gun lobby to put rapid fire killing machines in their hands. Mine for MWM https://t.co/l9kecwGYtS

Step 1: Take a bus. Paint lines on the road. Add sensors. Step 2: Rename it a “trackless train.” Compare it to rail instead of buses. Let the audience do the rest. Step 3: Show a sleek CGI aircraft. Say it will “fly in air.” Attach the word breakthrough. Step 4: When people

This is my take on immigration, in a nutshell. We should allow Americans who, through no fault of their own, were accidentally born outside of our borders.

Exactly. And our immigration policy should be geared to finding “Americans” and bringing them home. There are “Americans” everywhere living amongst filth. It’s not that hard to sift out the dirt and bring home the diamonds.

The "1,800 gallons of water goes into making one pound of beef" statistic is brilliant deception. They calculate "water footprint" using three categories: green water (rainfall), blue water (actual irrigation), and grey water (theoretical dilution water). For beef, 94% is green

I also think we should be making efforts (as locally as possible) to help immigrants learn English. e.g. Free classes via a community college. Or something similar.

I am not a hardliner "You MUST speak English to live in the U.S." That's not how language works. I do, however, think that if you are living in the U.S. you should at least try to learn English. It will make life easier for everyone.

When Jews lived as dhimmis under Islamic rule, Muslims had no issue acknowledging the Jewish connection to the Temple Mount. That was taken as an obvious historical truth. For example, in 1925 the Supreme Muslim Council published a guidebook to the Haram al-Sharif. On page 4 it

I survived female genital mutilation, and I carry its scars with me. But I refuse to accept that another girl in America must endure what I did in Somalia. Alaska lawmakers have the power to stop it. https://t.co/C3FihoPGMj

This isn’t dog sledding — it’s a theme-park imitation. What we’re seeing here is a tourist attraction: underfed dogs, reluctant to run, dragged through repetitive short routes for photo ops. That’s the opposite of how real sled dogs are managed. In legitimate sled-dog

Reminder that if a politician wanted to legalize stomping on puppies, they would call it the "Protect Puppies Act" and accuse anyone who criticized it of wanting to stomp on puppies.

Every stoner comedy is just, "huh huh, weed," "huh huh, yeah, weed," "weed, dude, huh huh," "isn't funny that we're smoking weed? Huh huh," "huh huh, that alien is smoking weed too," "huh huh, yeah, the mere existence is weed is funny."

“If he gets deported, he’s really dead." Guan Heng risked his life exposing China's Uyghur camps, taking on-the-ground videos that served as evidence for investigators around the world. Now, after fleeing to the US, he's been detained by ICE and is facing deportation to China.

The first Trump admin did a lot for the Uyghurs, including declaring (correctly) China was committing genocide against them. Guan Heng helped expose that genocide. If Trump deports him, he will be turning away from the genocide he himself declared. Defining moment for Rubio.
