So true.

“Elon didn’t earn that money” -politicians becoming multimillionaires off my hard earned tax dollars

Can you spot the difference? I see a spine.

Anyone else wake up this morning smiling because they're NOT a dumbass liberal?

Is there any way to to see a thread you posted to, then someone commented on your comment? Sometimes I can't tell which thread I commented on that they are recommenting to me on. It's annoying.

Why are the Moderators on X so pro abortion??? They let them spew distorted facts and lies, and attack people, but when you fight back as a conservative, it's all Hate speech, your account is blocked, etc. Free speech not so much for us...

PETA: People Euthanizing The Animals PETA took in 3,317 animals in 2024 and euthanized 2,213 of them. That’s roughly 67%. They adopted out just 63. This is the brutal record of an organization that raises tens of millions of dollars every year under the name “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.” According to their own FY2024 tax filing, PETA reported about $71.3 million in total expenses, yet spent only 0.17% on animal shelters and animal-related groups. Meanwhile, hunters spend millions of their own money every year improving habitat, monitoring populations, and supporting healthy, natural lives for wildlife in the wild.

RE Fast Food debate - I was born in 1960. My sister in 1958. We only went out to eat once a week at most. Mom cooked the rest of the time. There weren't many fast food places in Richmond Va in the 1960s. We ate at Bill's Bar B Q, Pancake House, Bob's Big Boy.

Hmmmmm

Wow..so much clickbait on X these days. Been almost 3 years since I was shut off. Now I'm back, and it's just mostly non serious posts about junk. Ugh. Oh well, I wanted back on, and now I am. I'll take the good with the bad. At least I can see Catturd and others again.

Anyone else collect Keychain fobs? These are just a few of my favorites, not including the ones I use daily.

The Department of Education began in 1979. In 1978, America was ranked #1 in education. Today, America is ranked 28th in Education. The Department of Education is a FAILED experiment. SHUT IT DOWN.

Cathie Wood just named the contradiction nobody wants to touch. She compared Elon Musk to Thomas Edison. Not as praise. As a pattern. Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.” The media sees a reckless billionaire setting fires. Wood sees the only person in the room building anything at all. The gap between those two readings tells you everything about who controls the narrative. Start with Tesla. Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.” He built the exact machine environmentalists spent thirty years begging for. Didn’t lobby for it. Didn’t write a whitepaper. Built it. Forced every major automaker on Earth to abandon the combustion engine. Then the second he won, the same movement made him the enemy. Because the establishment never wanted the problem solved. They wanted the problem funded. And those are two very different things. A solved problem kills the committee. Kills the nonprofit. Kills the careers built on managing the crisis instead of ending it. Musk ended it. And they have never forgiven him. SpaceX looks like an escape hatch if you never read past the headline. Which is exactly what the press counts on. Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.” Mars was never the exit. It is the lab. Build under conditions so brutal that every breakthrough changes what is possible back home. You learn to keep a human alive in a frozen irradiated vacuum. Fixing an energy grid on a temperate planet becomes arithmetic. He is not running from the cradle. He is stress-testing the technology that preserves it. But that story doesn’t sell ads. Doesn’t move polling numbers. So they bury it under hit pieces and congressional theater and call it journalism. Most people who reach his level stop building and start protecting what they have. They buy senators. They buy newspapers. They buy silence. Musk keeps picking the hardest unsolved problems on the planet and running straight at them. That is what terrifies the establishment. Not that he might fail. That he might succeed without them. Without their funding. Without their approval. Without anything they can hold over his head. A man they cannot buy is a man they cannot control. So they do the only thing they have left. They send the media after him. Every legacy outlet runs the same playbook. Strip the context. Clip the quote. Frame the motive. Let the algorithm do the rest. It has worked on every builder before him. It will not work on this one. They will spend their careers trying to tear him down. He will spend his building the thing that saves them anyway. The stones always come from inside the walls.

In 2 years when your car won’t start because you criticized the government just remember….. Thomas Massie was right.

Imagine that.

Damn right! When the government starts fearing an armed populace, that’s the exact moment you know the tyrants are planning something evil. They don’t want us armed because they want us obedient. They don’t want resistance, they want control. The Founding Fathers knew this. They lived it. That’s why they told us to stay armed and stay dangerous to anyone who tries to strip our God-given rights. This government fears the people because they know what we’re capable of when we finally say enough. The more they push, the more we load up. Period. Shall not be infringed. No debate. No surrender.

I know, right?! I thought the democrats hated guns? Funny how that works.

Elon Musk just exposed the one lie every modern nation tells itself. Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the moon.” Rotary phones. Computers the size of rooms. Slide rules. We put a human on the moon with less processing power than your watch. Musk: “Then the space shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit.” The most advanced nation in human history went from footprints on the moon to zero capability of leaving the atmosphere. That is not a funding problem. That is civilizational decay dressed up as a policy decision. Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves… it will, by itself, degrade.” That sentence should keep you up tonight. We treat progress like gravity. Like it pulls us forward whether we try or not. It is the opposite. Progress is a boulder on a hill. The second you stop pushing, it rolls back over you. And it never announces itself. Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that.” They did not run out of stone. They were not conquered. They got comfortable. And the knowledge bled out so quietly that nobody noticed until it was already gone. That is the real threat to everything we have built. Not a nuclear flash. Not an asteroid. Not some dramatic Hollywood collapse. A quiet forgetting. Every chip we fabricate. Every rocket we launch. Every data center we power. All of it held together by a thin fraction of the population working at a pace that would break most people. The moment that fraction gets tired or outnumbered by people who believe the machine runs itself, everything dissolves. And here is the part nobody wants to say out loud. We are not special. We are running the same operating system as every civilization that came before us. Comfort is the sedative. Complacency is the flatline. One generation that stops fighting is all it has ever taken. You do not lose the future in a war. You lose it in your sleep.
