A new poll finds 40% of respondents believe in a baseless conspiracy theory that the coronavirus was created in a lab in China. There is zero evidence for this. Scientists say the virus was transmitted to humans from another species. trib.al/m0pJe4b

"This press conference is solely for those pieces of sh*t who are right there!" Marion County Sheriff Billy Woods exploded on a reporter who ignored the subject of his press conference -- a sting conducted to capture child sex offenders -- and asked about an unrelated case.

ALERT: Naked man who beat a delivery driver to death with the firewood he was delivering, found not guilty by reason of insanity. Scotty Jackson was delivering firewood to a home in Fort Worth, Texas, when a naked man, Christantus Omondi, approached the driver and homeowner. Omondi claimed the house was his and that Jackson and the homeowner needed to leave. The homeowner told police, "This naked man is three inches from my face, holding a key up to me yelling at me that I was on his property. He never wants to see me again. I should leave." Jackson then reportedly told Omondi that it was not his house. Omondi then shoved the homeowner and hit Jackson with a piece of wood repeatedly, before chasing the homeowner back inside and returning to beat Jackson to death. A mental evaluation report declared Omondi was “legally insane” during the attack. Omondi will now be transferred from jail to a state mental hospital. Kasey DeLeon, Jackson’s daughter, said, "I've heard that the mental hospital is a lot worse than jail, and so that kind of brings me some comfort, but then I hear he has the potential to have outpatient, and that kind of scares me."

Teaching children to wipe their backsides Muslim style, as described by an imam in an Aberdeen Mosque. You run the water with your right hand while using your left hand. The hard work is done by the middle finger. If particularly messy you can use all your fingers.

You probably would never consider committing welfare fraud, let alone turning it into a lucrative business. But someone from another place with a totally different culture and value system would not only commit welfare fraud without hesitation— they would think you’re stupid for working hard to earn an honest living when it’s so easy to get rich by defrauding the American taxpayer. That’s why we have to be way more careful who we let into the country. Most of the world doesn’t think like us

#8 state for safety. #5 state to live in. #3 state for jobs. #2 state to raise a family, and #2 state to retire. We’ve made progress, but there’s more to do to deliver security, opportunity, and freedom to every Minnesotan. I won't quit fighting until we're #1.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim. Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

The greatest threat to our national security is apathy. Every problem we have is born from a citizenry that handed over its sovereignty to the government and put little to no effort into holding them accountable. The EBT benefits issue gave me pause to think. I take no joy in the prospect of families going hungry, but welfare was created to be the exception, not the standard. Our national debt is a symptom of the same "ignore the problem because it's not my problem" attitude we're saddled with. We've allowed corrupt leaders spend money we didn't have, yet we refused to vote them out. We've allowed states all across this nation to level us with taxes that often come with zero representation. We fought a war because of this for our independence once upon a time. We allowed this. We allowed open borders, insurmountable debt, out of control healthcare costs, skyrocketing taxes, inflation, endless wars, men in women's sports (lol), stolen elections, radical communism being taught in our schools, and the list goes on and on and on. All of this was because of our apathy. I like seeing people wake up and realize the work that needs to be done, but it will require many more to turn back the tide. There's a lot to do. "In a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top, they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it." - Cal Thomas

I was a public school teacher in the hood for 11 years, and I know this type of kid. The type that would smack the kid sitting in front of him, tell the teacher “IDGAF” when corrected, and ruin an entire year’s worth of learning for the entire class. His special education teachers would describe him as “actually very smart with a lot of potential,” despite him failing every class and scoring a 9 on the ACT. There would be countless meetings with him and his mom and the social workers, psychologists , and principal would speak in soft voices and nod and smile when the kid told them he wants to be a “doctor.” They’d design all sorts of ridiculous accommodations that give him ample room to behave however he wanted and terrorize his teachers and peers with minimal consequences. Teachers would spend the entire class trying to reign in his behavior, and when they called security to remove him, they’d have to evacuate the entire class first. He’d rarely receive any consequences. The principal would reprimand the teachers for “not building a relationship with him” and accuse them of “singling him out because he was black.” As a result, they’d give up and his behavior would escalate. If he was really bad, he’d get a time out in a special room where he’d sit on his phone and tell the supervisor to “shut the fuck up” if they said anything. Maybe he’d have to partake in a “peace circle” if he became violent. He’d eventually get “socially promoted” to his senior year and there would be a massive effort to get his credits recovered, mostly by pressuring teachers to give him alternative assignments and 50% for the work he didn’t do. He’d walk down the graduation stage and everyone would cheer, and he’d probably do something embarrassing like give the finger to the audience. As a young adult, he’d walk the city behaving exactly as he did in school because he’d been socialized to learn there are zero consequences for his behavior. Depending on the city, he’d probably get similar treatment from the cops and public afraid of creating a public scene that would lead to riots in their city. One day, he’d snap, and do something like this. And only then, would everyone act surprised, as if this wasn’t largely in part due to how our public schools negatively socialize and enable the behavior of animals that should be locked up or institutionalized as teenagers.
