When engaging me in a point of contention or disagreement, do so respectfully, maturely, free of vulgarity and character assassination. If not, you will be blocked. I don't have time to debate with children.

I’m absolutely shocked by what I’m seeing Europeans write on X right now. They’re preaching that Ukraine must “keep fighting” and that Trump’s peace plan is terrible. Where on earth are you fighting? In the restaurants of Paris and Vienna? Ukrainians are the ones fighting and

The US should leave NATO. It's obvious they, and the EU, want war. Let them have at it and keep Americans out of a third mission of madness (a world war) by the Europeans. The Europeans have learned nothing and forgotten everything. Their leaders are insane.
UKRAINE: Europe, Canada & Japan just pushed back on the 28 point Ukraine peace plan, warning against territorial concessions & limits on Ukraine’s military. They say EU & NATO provisions need full member approval. Major global hesitation as US restarts negotiations. In a

I propose 12 years, total 2 Senate terms 6 House terms 3 House & 1 Senate None of this reach a limit in one chamber and then move on to the other and reset the clock.
The Presidency has been term limited to 2 terms. We should do the same with the House and Senate. My Suggestion would be: Senate: 2 terms Max House: 4 terms Max

Trump should cut off all money & leave NATO.
Ukraine's representative at the United Nations has rejected the Trump peace plan. Here is the summary: 1) We'll make no concessions and nothing is up for negotiation 2) We need your money 3) The only way this ends is if you give us money and we win https://t.co/IYX9smsDYS

I’m really trying to give this a fair hearing, but so far (I’m on ep.3) it’s a staggeringly negative portrayal of those who founded this country. To a point that I come away after each episode with the impression that the people who made it are not fans of The United States.

Now do Jon Stewart and the Obama administration.

I'm half way through the second episode of Ken Burns' American Revolution. The subtle phrasings (and sometimes not so subtle) in favor of Loyalists, British Officers, and the disproportionate emphasis on Blacks and slavery in the colonies makes them all appear as victims of cruel

He's just a rich hyper-privileged bourgeois kid who never had to do a real day's work in his life. It's unfair to expect him to understand the real world.
Sam Harris is the gift that keeps on giving. Here he is talking about the murder of Charlie Kirk - and he says there is no party on the left that supports this. Then he blames Trump and Elon for dousing the ground with gasoline to create circumstances where this could happen:

The dumbest talking point about immigration is using the catch all term "immigrants" as if the 150 IQ German Scientist from the 50s is the same as the 80 IQ third world H1B from 2025. "Immigrants make our country better" no European immigration made our country better, third

It appears that Massie is dogmatically principled, but not morally principled.
I’m sorry did I hear this correctly that Thomas Massie refused to censor Stacey Plaskett for talking to a convicted, a sex offender in the middle of the congressional hearing? Yeah, I never wanna hear anything about him again in terms of principles or anything else because the

I'm inclined toward the idea that Jew-hate is demonic, since I notice that Jew-hate always eventually bleeds over into hatred of Christianity and Christians and Christ. If a thing leads you into a hatred of Christ, that thing is demonic.

Here’s the reality, the argument Elon is making here is self defeating. If you import a whole new population to support your state system, then the state system doesn’t deserve to survive. A state is meant to serve its people, not the other way around. Although Liberia and

Within visual art AI isnt simply a tool. That first premise is false. I'm telling you that what we are calling AI art isnt art at all. If you are creative you would never really bother with it. Perhaps making a few silly memes but thats it. All legitimate artistic tools are
I was saying this in 2023. And as damaging as it sounds, the only way for people to stop this obsession with tech, this assumption it will cure all their ills, and get to where we need to go as a society, is to let AI destroy everything. This is the next chapter, but not the
