A hard, cold wisdom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil.

Checked my trail cams today & am 100% convinced this fox is messing with me.

I don't need to search the world for things to be concerned about. My concerns are the ones right in front of me: my family, my friends, my town. I get that neocons will neocon. But even a handful of people on the actual right are cheering about Iran. How are house prices doing in America? How about the lost souls wandering the streets of our cities at night, or the conservative families who did everything right but their kids got caught in the trans hideousness anyway? It is the left that, bored with bourgeois life, historically inverted this natural order. Rousseau was all tears and pity about the earthquake in Lisbon, but put his own children in a foundling asylum. John Lennon wanted world peace, but had no contact with his son from his first marriage. The best line in the Tucker Carlson interview of the heretical Mike Huckabee was when Huckabee said that without Iran we wouldn't have the problem on the border with Lebanon, and Tucker responded, the way a conservative would, by saying: what problem on the border with Lebanon? I'm not having a problem on the border with Lebanon. I live in Maine. And we weren't born yesterday: no right winger, observing the American regime, thinks to himself: these people care deeply about the Iranian public. But as our own country crumbles, the temptation to get excited about foreign adventures increases. It's a perverse paradox. I promise you, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin do not steer you right, and they are not steering you right now. If you're on the right, you have an appreciation for the precariousness of the human condition. You certainly do not think: if the regime deposes a man it dislikes, this will lead to a better outcome. You do not know that. History is not kind to that kind of naïveté, and if there's one thing right-wingers are not, it is naive. The true heart of America is not Ben Shapiro but John Quincy Adams (and Henry Clay, and so many others who echoed the same sentiments): "[America] has, in the lapse of nearly half a century, without a single exception, respected the independence of other nations while asserting and maintaining her own. "She has abstained from interference in the concerns of others, even when conflict has been for principles to which she clings, as to the last vital drop that visits the heart.... "Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. "But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. "She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. "She is the champion and vindicator only of her own."

I don’t want to be accused of being silent on this. I completely condemn US involvement in Iran. Trump’s statement was absolutely outrageous, and this has nothing to do with US national interests. As a political realist, I don’t mind doing seemingly nonsensical things from time to time in order to get something in return, but there’s nothing that Israel can give to us here— there’s nothing we need from them that they can provide. Things like this are a gift to the very worst characters in American politics, such as Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin. The American people are sick and tired of doing the bidding of leeches like the state of Israel. The result is going to be more chaos, more refugees, more destabilization, more debt. America is breaking apart at the seams, and the Trump administration is unwilling to take extraordinary action domestically— but it seems it can be pressured to take extraordinary action internationally on issues that don’t benefit the remnants of America. You should be furious.

More Iran strikes than deep state arrests. More Iran strikes than Epstein arrests. More war spending than DOGE cuts. Board of Peace launches war. Ran against the unpopular Mid East foreign policy of Bush. Said we'd put America 1st, foreign interests happier than Americans.

Replying to @RoKhanna @chamath
why not just raise income tax rates? because your real intent is not to just ā€œprovide healthcareā€. you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens. you’re calling it a ā€œwealth taxā€ or a ā€œbillionaires taxā€ or ā€œmillionaires taxā€ or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.) the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a ā€œbetter lifeā€ but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen. the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure. it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking. that a ā€œsimple taxā€ of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all. i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%. want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes. want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…

It needs to be understood that the moment the brown university PD, staff, and likely most of the FBI learned that the victim was a Republican, they simply stopped caring.
This Brown University situation is unbelievable. At this point, it’s almost laughable no video, no footage, 800 cameras, and nothing. The suspect is long gone.

Bloodbath for the GOP. Trump embracing the neocons has been a disaster. Advice to Trump - 1. Stop involving America in these pointless wars. Americans are sick of Ukraine and Israel. 2. Work on that healthcare plan you promised 10 years ago. Until that is ready, fund ACA. 3. Eliminate all H1B visas. There are no good jobs for young people. 4. Quit changing the tariffs every week. Develop an economic policy and stick with it. 5. Accelerate the deportations. We cannot have a country filled with Third World savages. 6. Fire Rubio for lying about the situation in Ukraine. 7. Work with JD Vance to get a non Boomer perspective about the reality of the situation. 8. Stop posting emotional drivel on Truth Social like you are an emotional teenage girl. You are President. Have some gravitas.

Annual throwback to Halloween 2008 when Rand thought our ten trillion dollar debt was so scary he created a costume about it. Now it’s $38 trillion… with one trillion dollars of debt added in JUST THE LAST THREE MONTHS!! Truly terrifying for the future of our country.

She's not saying this because she's stupid. She's saying this because she thinks her voters are.
We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was: a man who believed that the Civil Rights Act that granted Black Americans the right to vote was a ā€œmistake,ā€ who after the violent attack on Paul Pelosi claimed that ā€œsome amazing patriot out thereā€ should bail out his assailant, and accused Jews of controlling ā€œnot just the colleges – it’s the nonprofits, it’s the movies, it’s Hollywood, it’s all of it.ā€ His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans – far from ā€œworking tirelessly to promote unityā€ as asserted by the majority in this resolution.ā€ We can condemn his horrific assassination and the scourge of political violence without uplifting these ideas.

They spent 5 years meticulously hunting for J6ers, arrested 1200 of them. Every SINGLE person posting calls for murder online needs to be: Debanked Fired Put on no-fly lists Arrested and prosecuted for solicitation of murder.
URGENT. FYI. After Charlie Kirk, on the sky app there are people asking for the next person to be targeted. These include JK Rowling, Matt Walsh, Trump, Ben Shapiro, Libs of TikTok, Elon Musk, and Andy Ngo. I took as many screenshots as I could.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON by Rudyard Kipling It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate. They were not easily moved, They were icy -- willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate. Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate. It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate. It was not suddently bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the Saxon began to hate.

The Right still doesn't get the Left. Moral certitude + positive rights ethics = absolute belief that opposition must be per se evil. Violence to thwart evil is justified. Even those who publicly condemn it admit to understanding it.
Charlie Kirk did not live by the sword. That hasn't stopped the left saying he lived by the sword. Lefties just INVENT your alleged crimes to justify their own violence. That's why they say things like "silence is violence" and "systemic racism is violence".

I woke up even angrier. I want justice for Charlie. Everyone responsible, everyone celebrating, everyone who encouraged this or fomented it in any way -- I want them all held to account. They want us dead. They're killing us. Now is not the time for kumbaya stuff. This is real.
