We are constantly told that there is no "deep state." Then Donald Trump threatens to re-establish unitary control of the executive branch, as per the Constitution -- and Joe Biden's response is to protect the deep state. So yeah, there's a deep state. https://t.co/qgvdvKvHaL
World Central Kitchen does good work, but this is a blood libel unsupportable by logic or evidence. Also, Andres has been accusing Israel of targeting civilians and hospitals for months on Twitter, and called for a ceasefire on October 13, less than a week after October 7.
Totally insane that Joe Biden keeps attempting to appease his unappeasable radical Left pro-Hamas base. Cornel West is earning approximately 1% of the vote. RFK Jr. is running at 10% by running as a moderate Democrat. Biden's aiming at West's crowd. It's political malpractice.
The problem is that the way DEI defines "opportunity" is effectively equivalent to "outcome." DEI proponents claim that the only way to assure "equality of opportunity" is racial discrimination, and the evidence "equality of opportunity" has been achieved is equality of outcome.
READ LITERALLY TO THE END OF THE VERSE
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; MALE AND FEMALE HE CREATED THEM." (Genesis 1:27)
According to the Biden White House, it is disrespectful and wrong to kill terrorists during Ramadan, but Trans Day of Visibility™ must be celebrated on Easter.
The fact that Hamas is ecstatic about the current Biden course tells you what you need to know. It was only a matter of time before Biden listened to his radical wing and decided that the support of pro-Hamas voters in Michigan was worth undermining Israel's war for survival.
Actually, the fentanyl epidemic in the United States rather than Mexico is because Mexico is a narcostate, and the Mexican drug cartels make their money by shipping fentanyl across the border, killing 100,000+ Americans. Check out our full investigation: https://t.co/4CkzNWr5gq
You couldn't even get Laken Riley's name right, and you downplayed her murder in order to buttress your open-borders policy. But when a troubled young girl commits suicide, it's time to blame that on generalized conservative opposition to gender theory bullshit.
I didn't think you could somehow magic opposition to a Chinese-owned psyop into an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory, but I underestimated you. Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
So the underlying problem here, according to the president of the United States, wasn't the dangerous delusion -- fostered by media and the political Left -- that a girl can be a boy, or that a girl can be nonbinary. It's bullying (which he has not evidenced).
Joe Biden is in serious, serious electoral trouble.
In 2008, 131 million votes were cast.
In 2012, 129 million.
In 2016, 136 million.
In 2020, 158 million.
Joe Biden won the popular vote by ~7 million votes.
Turnout will look more like 2016 than 2020. Which means the vote total will likely regress by tens of millions of votes.
Of the 20 million voters who voted in 2020 but likely won't show up in 2024, how many are Biden voters? How many are Trump voters?
This, in a nutshell, is Biden's problem.
Wow, turns out that cutting off your dick and balls is a bad idea. But thankfully, the Biden administration knows better, and will continue to promote castration to minors.
Depression rates for those who drop out of the workforce or retire are extraordinarily high. You don't need a job to have a purpose, but our society has also destroyed nearly every other alternative source of purpose. Church has declined. The elderly are shuttled off to homes, not integrated into an intergenerational family structure.
1. I, along with my partners, built a company that does over $200 million per year in business and employs hundreds of people with thousands of dependents. I spent a large chunk of my childhood in a two-bedroom, one-bathroom, 1100 sq. ft. home with six people.
2. I said that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme that will bankrupt the United States. It is.
3. I said that human beings require purpose and fulfillment, and "retirement" in the common sense of the word (not leaving a job and finding a more fulfilling one, e.g., but leaving working entirely) generally robs people of both. With that said, it's a free country. If you can afford to retire, do what you want.
4. Those on the cusp of Social Security are reliant on false promises by the government. Those promises should be fulfilled. We need a phase-out of the 65 year age requirement for those who are younger.
On a pure economic level, our company currently employs ~300 people, thus supporting literally thousands of dependents. And yes, I hope to work for the rest of my life, God willing.
I'm arguing that we should stop the perverse program of the government stealing your money and giving it to someone else, then stealing someone else's money and giving it to you. You should keep your own money.
Future generations. The government stole your money. It's gone. And by the way, we don't have a defined contributions plan in this country for Social Security. We have defined benefits. So chances are good that you're either getting back way less or way more than you paid in.
I agree. Any formal plan would have a phase-in with regard to raising the retirement age for those below a certain age. You're too close for such a phase-in to apply.
Yes. If you are mentally and physically healthy, taxpayers should not pay you to retire at 65. When Social Security was created, life expectancy was 64. Today, it's 78.
Also, people require purpose. If you can retire and find purpose, go for it. For many, that's a bad idea.
By "never stop working to bring your loved ones home," he means "we will blame Israel for any attempt to bring your loved ones home, and keep doing Hamas' PR"
There are some who think this is too restrictive. Actually, I would hope that the Florida legislature bans strip clubs and pornography production altogether.
Nonsense. This isn't about his strains with Netanyahu, whose opinions on Rafah are identical to those of the vast majority of Israelis, including political opponents like Benny Gantz. It's about Biden desperately trying to please pro-Hamasniks in Dearborn.
An absolutely insane comment. "If Hamas cares about the Palestinian people"? They have spent the last two decades proving they don't give a shit about the Palestinian people, and they won't surrender now, which would end the conflict today.
In Jonathan Glazer's "Zone of Interest," you don't see one Jew. Those are the best Jews, according to Glazer: the faceless victims screaming in the distance. Ironically, he's the villain: picking up awards from the bodies of those anonymous dead Jews while ignoring the living ones getting slaughtered in the Gaza Envelope by genocidal murderers.
Remember, folks, you must never label an illegal immigrant murderer "illegal." Also, you can totally botch the name of the victim and nobody in the media will care.
Over 100,000 people per year are dying of fentanyl poisoning in the United States. Joe Biden spent one sentence on it in the State of the Union, the same number of sentences he spent on AI voice impersonation.
Over 100,000 people per year are dying of fentanyl poisoning in the United States. Joe Biden spent one sentence on it last night, the same number of sentences he spent on AI voice impersonation.
Democrats are far more angry at Joe Biden for saying the word "illegal" than for screwing up Laken Riley's name. Which tells you what you need to know about their priorities.
Joe Biden started off screaming somewhat coherently. We have now descended into screaming incoherence. Soon it will be whispering incoherence. Then it will be over.
Remember, the Constitutional requirement is that the president "from time to time give to the Congress information of the State of the Union." Anybody hearing a single word about that? Or just how half the country are brutal, evil, insurrectionist sexist racists?
Comparing the Russian threat to Ukraine to Donald Trump being elected is totally absurd and incredible. Biden is dividing the country in extraordinary ways in real time.
To any sentient person, he's a terrorist. He was convicted of 5 counts of murder and one of attempted murder, and led the terror wave of the Second Intifada.
To Christiane Amanpour, he's a hero.
Because our media are filled with terror apologists.
Israel warned before bombing, created arteries for civilian evacuees, and then went house to house to clear terror tunnels. If Israel had carpet bombed these areas without warning, nearly a million people would be dead already. (Population of Gaza City: 600K; Khan Younis: 450K.)
A ceasefire as a precondition to releasing hostages? What, precisely, would Israel get in return for this ceasefire? There is only one reason this is happening, and that's because the Biden administration is pushing moral equivalence with a genocidal terror group.
Wow, maybe they'll accuse him of being a rapist traitor insurrectionist who is in the pay of Vladimir Putin.
This is the problem with always being at a "Spinal Tap" 11. Ain't no place to go from here, ya idjits.
WPATH has always been a vile propaganda organization on behalf of medical mutilation. And they've been quoted as authoritative by most of the legacy media as well as half the government.
Unanimous decision from SCOTUS that a state can't just declare a candidate for the presidency ineligible. Duh. But also another win for Trump in a season filled with them.
Joe Biden is not losing because his base is abandoning him. He's losing because independents and moderates are. Yet the media push the former narrative, because they are members of the nutball Left.
Netanyahu's democratically-elected unity government includes his chief center-left political rival, Benny Gantz. Nearly 250 IDF soldiers have been killed going door-to-door to protect civilians. Dictator Assad used chemical weapons on civilians. This comparison is asinine.
Day 4 and Duke is still silent.
We know what we’ve uncovered is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the threat of DEI. So we’ve opened up a tip line.
If you have something we should look into—about Duke or anything else—send it our way ASAP: https://t.co/xyvd0GWZ58.
Put my name in the subject line so it gets to my team immediately.
Members of Congress are calling for action after our investigation revealed Duke’s @vigneshramanmd admitted to ignoring research by whites and to 'abandoning' metrics to ensure more DEI surgeons are hired.
But Duke is still silent.
What do @DukeMedSchool Dean @MaryEKlotman and @DukeHealth CEO Craig T. Albanese have to say about these videos? Do they stand by Dr. Raman’s racist comments? Are they ok with rejecting the work of qualified doctors and future doctors because of their race? Are they comfortable with putting patients at risk because of doctors’ personal politics?
Duke must be held accountable.
Biden failed to govern as a moderate, which means he's losing independents and moderates. Which means that now, the crazies in his party have him by the short hairs.
Here's what we know: the videos, which are labeled as @DukeMedSchool DEI Townhalls, were posted by the Duke resident-run account @DukeSurgRes. Duke has yet to comment on the videos. Did admin at Duke ask for these videos to be taken down? Does Duke stand by Raman's comments? Is Duke ok with its surgeons discriminating against patients and future doctors?
Following our investigation, Duke Medical School has taken down videos in which one of its doctors, Vignesh Raman, admitted to "abandoning ... all sort[s] of metrics" in hiring surgeons for the sake of DEI. Unfortunately for Duke, we saved copies.
As @elonmusk aptly put it, DEI puts the lives of your loved ones at risk.
We’ve reached out to Duke, Raman, and the North Carolina AG for comment, and are in touch with U.S. Rep. Bishop who intends to ensure the laws here are fully enforced.
