Cancelling beer gardens is just as bad as cancelling Thanksgiving, imo.

96% of Jews in Poland were murdered by the Nazis. That is genocide. 3% of Gaza’s population, mostly male combatants, died in the war they started. That is not genocide.

Bill Maher just delivered the PERFECT case for ELMINATING almost EVERY welfare program in the U.S.: “We're still giving [money] away. How else are the 40% of adult Americans who don't work supposed to live? Yeah, did you know that? That roughly 60% of Americans work and 40% what's the word, don’t?” “Including 6M working-age men who don't work and are not looking. No getting on LinkedIn for them. They're home playing Call of Duty at 11 in the morning.”

A landmark Finnish study has found a sharp rise in psychiatric illness among adolescents following sex-alteration procedures. The peer-reviewed study, published in Acta Paediatrica, tracked every young person under 23 who contacted Finland's gender clinics between 1996 and 2019. A total 2,083 individuals were studied, with 16,643 matched controls. They were followed for up to 25 years. Finland's health registers are mandatory, which means no one opts out — this is the complete national picture. The numbers: psychiatric morbidity rose from 9.8% to 60.7% in adolescents who underwent feminising reassignment, and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising reassignment. Even after adjusting for prior psychiatric history, gender-referred adolescents faced five times the risk of male population controls, and three times the risk of female controls. "Psychiatric needs do not subside after medical gender reassignment," the authors concluded. Referrals after 2010 arrived sicker. 47.9% had already needed psychiatric treatment before their first clinic visit, against 15.3% among controls. The authors' read: for some adolescents, gender distress may be secondary to other mental health challenges. The evidence keeps mounting. The silencing continues anyway. How many more adolescents will be told this is "care"?

CBS just walked the streets of Kabul 25 years after 9/11. What they see: Taliban fighters in American Humvees with American rifles dressed in American commando gear. There’s even a Green Bay Packers sticker still on one of the Humvees Biden left behind. And yet, CBS's Imtiaz Tyab claims, "President Trump has bitterly criticized the Biden administration for what he says is abandoning billions of dollars of military hardware like this."

My girlfriend and I attended the Ed Sheeran concert last evening in our company suite at MetLife with a number of guests; 34 to be exact (36 total attendees). I am not Jewish, however some of my guests are Jewish. I have never been more embarrassed, and shocked in my entire life. @macklemore is a complete clown for pulling the nonsense he pulled at BOTH “Ed Sheeran” concerts (Friday & Saturday evening). I have always been a Macklemore fan, but after his political stunt, I cannot support him or his music any longer. When you go WOKE, you have to be prepared to lose fans. After it happened on Friday, it should have immediately been stopped. This antisemitic behavior reflects so poorly on you @edsheeran . Very sadly you were complicit in allowing it to continue on Saturday evening. When I go to a concert, I am going to hear amazing music. I am NOT going to hear “Free Palestine” rants. Macklemore spread anti-Zionist, and antisemitic propaganda. He also accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. What does any of this have to do with music ? Why do I need to hear this BS at a concert that I’m supposedly going to, to hear amazing music ? If Macklemore feels so strongly about Palestine, then maybe he should donate all of his tour earnings to them ? You were sensational Ed. You seem like such an amazing individual; someone so cool and down to earth. Someone that I would love to actually hang out with. It’s a shame that you would allow someone else’s performance to tarnish your amazing image. I just don’t get it. I saw this same nonsense a few years ago when @U2 , who I happen love, were trying to compare Michelle Obama to Harriet Tubman, and other notable women of African American descent. Why can’t music be about music ? I’m so sick of the attempted “indoctrination” of audiences that attend these concerts. There were young Jewish children in your audience last evening. How do you think they felt hearing these rants about Palestine ? It’s completely uncalled for. As a fan, I am prepared to stop attending concerts for good if this deplorable behavior continues. I will merely listen to the music I like on XM Satellite radio. What’s right is right !! What do you think about this @israeliamerican ? America is a free country. We are free to speak our minds. Maybe Macklemore thinks he is free to spread his propaganda and lies ? I am also free to spend my hard earned money how I see fit, and it won’t be on any more WOKE artists. You’re better than this, Ed Sheeran. Do what’s right here.

Sixty-two years and $22 trillion later, the U.S. poverty rate sits at roughly 11 percent, almost identical to where Lyndon Johnson found it in 1964. The government ran the most expensive social experiment in human history and produced nothing measurable. Bureaucracies perpetuate themselves, and this policy worked exactly as designed. When Washington transfers purchasing power to the poor through SNAP, Medicaid, housing vouchers, and 126 other overlapping programs, it doesn't eliminate scarcity; it relocates decision-making from individuals to administrators. Those administrators develop career interests in perpetuating dependency, because a solved problem eliminates their department. Free market thinkers identified this perverse incentive structure before Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act. Every dollar taxed from productive activity carries a deadweight cost before it reaches anyone's dinner table. Capital formation lifts people out of poverty. You build wealth through savings, property rights, and voluntary exchange, none of which $22 trillion in redistributed spending actually produced.

This is so incredibly tone deaf by @DavidCCrowley.. Paying more for groceries and gas because of a sales tax hike “isn’t a burden”.. His campaign is going from bad to worse.

Now do the K-12 district schooling system

Colorado voted Republican for president almost every cycle from 1968 through 2004. It flipped in 2008 and has stayed blue ever since. In 1980 the state was 2.9 million people and about 4% foreign-born. Now it’s nearly 6 million and about 10% foreign-born. On the 2025 state tests, only 45% of 3rd–8th graders were proficient in reading and 36% in math. Violent crime also jumped about 50–60% from 2014 to 2024. Friday those same schools emptied classrooms so kids could protest ICE. A system that cannot get most students to grade level still has time for a political rally. Our education system is broken.

Crowley not only signed off on the iPads for inmates scheme, he EXTENDED the program just last year. Crowley also changed the name of the House of Corrections (to achieve “racial equity,” naturally) and has spent his career advocating for soft on crime policies.

Obamacare is a tax on productive Americans. Your reward for not being on Medicaid (in many states 30-40% on socialized healthcare) is paying massive premiums that increase far more than inflation. Awful
