My feed this week: "🇺🇸 人 ...か?" "アメリカ人 ...か?" "アメリカニキ ...か?" Me in replies:

He wasn’t on the hedonic treadmill, amazing how that works.

The GOP used… Pro Forma sessions to stop Trump from making recess appointments. Blue Slip tradition to stop Trump from filling judicial positions. Zombie Filibuster to stop Trump from securing elections. All giving us the middle finger. They’re happy we lost. Treasonous.

St Thomas Aquinas, one of the foundational moral theologians of western civilization, reasoned that we have a natural hierarchy of duty, the ordo caritatis. We owe highest duty to God. The next is to your own eternal soul (you don’t sacrifice your own salvation for someone else’s). Following that are your spouse, children, and family in that order. Then friends and neighbors, and then to your own temporal existence, especially as is pertains to the wellbeing of those close to you (neglecting yourself is neglecting your loved ones). Only once all these needs are met (emphasizing again that this is determined through reason as well as scripture) do we have a duty to other groups of people, other nations, or ‘the world’ as a whole. So this leftist hierarchy of world > country > loved ones > self is mixed up and fights against at least 800 years of societal development as well as reason itself.

“That guy’s the best general. Put him in charge of the troops.” “But he’s the enemy’s general, sir.” “Oh, didn’t realize you hate meritocracy.”

Let me be very clear, Garrett Archer is trafficking in election misinformation. The only “identifiers” that have been removed from the view of verifiers during the Signature Verification process is the voter’s personally indentifiable information, including party affiliation. Put simply, the verifiers should not know anything about a voter other than whether the current signature matches the other historic signatures for the individual. This protects all voters and has no bearing on rejection rates.

There was once a shepherd who found a wolf caught in a snare at the edge of his pasture. The wolf begged to be freed. “I was hungry,” it said. “That is all. Spare me, and I will remember your mercy!” The shepherd cut the rope. The next night, three lambs were gone. Again the shepherd found the wolf. Again it pleaded. Again the shepherd convinced himself that mercy was proof of his goodness. By winter, half the flock was dead. An old farmer finally asked him, “Why do you keep freeing it?” The shepherd answered, “Because I refuse to become cruel.” The farmer looked at the empty field and said, “Then understand what you have done. You were not merciful to the wolf. You were cruel to everything that trusted you to keep them safe.” That’s the lesson. Mercy without judgment isn’t virtue. When someone openly intends to destroy what has been entrusted to you, endless forgiveness doesn’t make you righteous. It makes everyone behind you pay for your vanity.

RT @FoscoJoseph: An Open Concern About Appearances: The Catholic Church and the Midterms I am Catholic. I say the rosary. I go to Mass. No…

The month Charlie Kirk died was the last month charts like this were discussed in the White House.

Correct. Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be. Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them. Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week. Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact. Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia. SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR. That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell. End of story.

With each ballot drop looking less and less favorable to Democrats, everyone in Arizona has noticed the local media becoming more and more outwardly hostile toward Republicans in their coverage, hoping to sway remaining voters. The mask is off. Don't let corruption win.

So it turns out that Ukraine's issues with Starlink were caused by Ukraine. Starlink terminals disconnected at speeds above 160 KPH, as determined by the Starlink terminals internal GPS. To get around this, Ukraine hacked the Starlink terminals to think they were stationary regardless of speed. SpaceX figured this out, and updated the system software to detect excessive speed by seeing how rapidly the terminal switched from on satellite to another. This broke Ukraine's hack, and Starlink would no longer work at high speeds. Ukraine was using Starlink in a way that violated the terms of service. Starlink figured it out and stopped it.

Thank you so much for sharing the news about HORIZON’s return!! I really appreciate it!!🥰🥰🥰 Volume 1 of the English edition of HORIZON will also be released soon by Kodama Tales!!!! I’ve heard the English edition is going to be fantastic, so I’m really looking forward to it too!! I’ll keep studying English so I can read it together with all of you!!!!!!!!✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻 (And while I can’t say too much just yet… let’s just say that editions in other languages might be closer than you think👀👀👀)

This is how you ruin studios. Chris Avellone details how a Bioware producer would scan new hire for political alignment. If your social posts were 'problematic' you didn't get the job. Now, this is happening at a lot of studios, not just Bioware. It was never about diversity.

I asked a reporter why they haven't reported that I have received every major law enforcement endorsement. She said her editor wouldn't let her. I appreciate her honesty. But it shows the sad state of where AZ media is. We made history. A challenger to the sitting AG received every major law enforcement endorsement and they don't report it. If a Republican AG was the incumbent and the Democrat challenger received every major law enforcement endorsement, you would hear about it 24/7 and in every story about the race.

Holy crap The “conspiracy theorists” were right

A Europa será destruída por mulheres que projetam naqueles animais a maternidade que cabia aos filhos que elas abortaram.

Turns out Raspail was wrong. They're not tired nor cold, if fact they're taken better care of than the average Frenchman. They'll burn your beautiful oak door because they hate beauty and, most importantly, they hate you.

There is no magic soil. A nation is its people. These barbarians are not French.
