“Men of God and men of war have strange affinities.” ~ Judge Holden, Blood Meridian

Dana Point, CA
The Ride to Donnally’s Fort (May 28, 1778) From Straight Creek’s mouth and Back Creek’s stone, where twenty-five were all alone, the alarm came down the ridge at ten— three hundred Shawnee on the wind. No drum, no flag, no captain’s call, just Bradshaw, Slaven, Lockridge all; they kissed their wives by firelight low and turned their horses to the snow. Black night, black trail, black water’s roar, no moon to guide, no open door. Over Keeney’s Knob they flew like ghosts, past war-paint shadows on the posts. Sixty-five miles of mountain hell, hooves struck fire on the rocky swell; they changed to fresh at every gate— the frontier itself kept them from fate. At break of day the palisade beheld the riders they had made: dust and blood and powder smoke, the gate flung wide, the war-cry broke. The Shawnee saw the dawn arrive on twenty-five still half-alive and knew the mountains would not yield— they turned and left the bloody field. Because one night, one desperate band refused to lose their hard-won land, a nation kept its western door and freedom reached from shore to shore. Bradshaw. Slaven. Lockridge. Ride on. Your thunder lives in everyone who carries still that midnight spark— the will to gallop through the dark.

Alex Karp of Palantir is the last classical liberal left in the West. Dems are so unhinged, he sounds like a wing-nut to them. Imagine if a true right wing populist was President?
Palantir CEO Alex Karp on what model companies are really asking for when they call for regulation and why they will be nationalized. “It's a weird twist. They're asking for societal regulation to get out of the first line of defense, which is if you build a technology that can destroy 10% of the of the world, that has civil and criminal liability attached to it.” “The only way to deal with this kind of liability is to go to the government and say nationalize us, please.” "Another problem we have is seemingly everyone who understands this is on some payroll."

EISMAN: “These companies are very nervous. They realize that there are no moats around their business .. they're trying to manufacture a crisis that will create regulation — that they think they can then manipulate to create .. the duopoly that they want."

There is an unseen hand pushing AI safety as a political ideology. Effective Altruists believe a tiny group of technocrats should decide how much technological progress the rest of us are allowed to have…. and how many shrimp your life is worth. You are witnessing their attempted coup. thefp.com/p/dangerous-ideolo…

Bo French is the one foretold in the prophecies
I heard UT graduation this year looked like this. I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.

You may see something better today than Willie Nelson drinking a beer while hanging out with Earl Campbell, although I highly fucking doubt it.

Calvinist resistance poetry: The lesser magistrates must draw the steel, To guard the border where the legions kneel. Against the flooding tide that breaks the wall, Before the foreign host, the realm will fall. A covenant forged in blood defends the land, No alien yoke shall crush the Western hand. Rise up, ye captains, purge the creeping rot, And hold the holy rampart, yield it not!

It’s so nice to be at a Texan airport and see all of the employees wearing the Freedom Veils. Nothing says Texas like a dress code from Pakistan, Yemen, and Bangladesh. Texas is Islamic Land. Keep sleeping. It will all work out.

We owe so much to the Scots-Irish and Comanches. The baddest mothers to call America home.

The southern gate is cracking. Stone groans under the weight. Black hulls press the narrow strait like a blade against the throat. No mercy in the numbers, no end to the advance— only the slow, ruthless closing of the hand. The saints have come ashore and the camp is already full

Day by day, month by month, doubt by doubt, law and order became fascism; education, constraint; work, alienation... Christianity... and the West... and white skin... Your universe has no meaning to them.

BREAKING: Congratulations. The West is finally starting to act. The GREATEST WEEKEND is about to begin.17 countries have PULLED embassy staff OUT of Tehran, including the UK, Germany, and some French personnel. Saturday and Sunday will be hell for the Islamic regime in Iran. It will lose control of its islands, airspace, and bases. Zero tolerance for terrorism.

The numbers don’t lie—at UCSD Medical School, black and Latino applicants were more likely to be admitted than white and Asian applicants with higher scores. Using “hardship essays” as a proxy for race-based admissions is ILLEGAL—@CivilRights @TheJusticeDept is taking action.
