 The FBI is ready to stamp out the plague of shoplifting by young white actresses 
 You do have to love the equation of "You just can't be" with "You can't hijack planes." Saying the quiet part out loud there. 
 Call me controversial, but I think that as a general rule, you should not cheer on disturbed anarchists burning themselves to death to protest a non-existent genocide on behalf of an actual genocidal terrorist group. 
 Laken Riley would be alive if it were not for Joe Biden's insane border policy and the soft-on-crime policies of major metro areas like New York City. 
 This move is a preparation for a "unity government" in which Hamas joins the Palestinian government, thus taking advantage of the idiotic American proposal to have the PA run Gaza and handing Hamas victory. https://t.co/0vh7lBCgck 
 "Joe, what are you doing to that vacuum cleaner?!" 
 The insane manipulation of the House of Commons through threat of radical Islamic violence will be commonplace throughout Europe if the ongoing cult of multiculturalism has its way. 
 What is truly incredible about the media attempts to destroy @libsoftiktok is that Chaya's great sin isn't her advocacy. It's merely noticing what they're doing, and posting clips of them doing it. 
 Marriage, the definition of which fundamentally predates and acts as a basis for the establishment of government, has not magically redefined itself just because politicians and judges said some magic words 
 Hamas is overwhelmingly popular in both Gaza and the West Bank, as were the terrorist attacks of October 7. So he's lying. 
 So they're really going to go with this angle: as an alleged rape victim, she's standing with a terrorist group filled with mass-murdering rapists, and anyone who stands against her opposes rape victims 
 And since then, Lebanon has been a garden paradise dominated by Syria and Hezbollah, turned into a trash heap and a terror state! Excellent example of what happens when the West abandons former allies to the predations of terror-supporting enemies. 
 Music has no race. Congrats to my fellow Billboard #1 artist, Beyonce. 
 DEI will die because it is absolutely self-defeating. If credentialing institutions continue to substitute DEI for actual merit, they will quickly lose their status as credentialing institutions. They know it, they just refuse to say it out loud. 
 AI is a product of its creators. Their biases will be mainlined into your reality. This is why competition in AI is so deeply necessary -- and it's also why elitists in the AI field are desperately seeking to prevent the decentralization of the AI space. 
 Using your own alleged sexual assault as an excuse for defending the mass rapists and murderers of Hamas is certainly an interesting strategy 
 All of America's enemies are applying the old Vladimir Lenin adage: "Probe with bayonets. If you find mush, you push. If you find steel, you withdraw." And they're finding a LOT of mush.
