it remains

May 22, 1782. On this day, a letter landed on George Washington’s desk at the army’s camp in Newburgh, New York. It was written by Colonel Lewis Nicola on behalf of a group of frustrated officers. They were fed up with Congress, which had repeatedly failed to pay the troops. But the letter didn’t stop there. It went on to suggest that maybe America didn’t need to be a republic after all. Monarchs aren’t always tyrants, Nicola argued, and then dropped the bombshell: perhaps the new country should have a king, and there was no doubt who they thought that king should be. It’s not hard to picture how this could have gone. A victorious general, beloved by his men and the public, with the power to take the crown if he wanted it. Plenty of men in history would have jumped at the chance. George Washington could have become King George I of the United States. But he didn’t even entertain the idea. Washington was genuinely horrified. He fired back a reply the same day, clearly shaken: “Be assured, sir, no occurrence in the course of the war has given me more painful sensations than your information of there being such ideas existing in the army… I must view with abhorrence, and reprehend with severity.” In a scathing response, Washington told Nicola to drop the idea immediately and never speak of it again, for the sake of the country, for his own future, and out of respect for Washington himself. In the end, there was only one man who could have sat on an American throne, and he wanted nothing to do with it. That exchange, known today as the Newburgh Letter, happened exactly 244 years ago today. It’s one of those quiet moments that says everything about the kind of man George Washington actually was.

My fellow dudes on x, I need to ask you a favor. My wife has discovered a new hobby, landscaping. We've spent $2,000 on plants, dirt, bark over the last 2 weeks. I'm sunburned, and out of ibuprofen I need this post go viral so I can pay for all this. Why couldn't she have chosen sourdough bread? Or crochet? Or triathlons?

But....you turned off your replies....

キャプションにはこう書かれています。「公立学校の子供たちをゲイに仕向けるまたとない機会が、毎日訪れる」。これは公立学校の教師、ハンナ・ホクシー（Hannah Hoxie）で、彼女は自分の立場を利用して幼い子供たちに同性愛を奨励していることを公然と語っていました。彼女が職を失わなかったのは、左派が自分たちの仲間を、どれほど邪悪であろうとも守るからです。

The absolute funniest shit in this clown show is watching Trump’s screeching critics go from “HE’S LAUNCHING WORLD WAR III RIGHT NOW, YOU MONSTER!” to “wow, what a pathetic cuck...he totally caved” in under twelve goddamn hours. Let’s run the fucking tape: Trump shakes the cage like a rabid gorilla, Iran’s mullahs suddenly remember how to use a phone, the Strait of Hormuz gets tossed on the table like a bloody steak, oil prices get curb-stomped into the dirt, gas is already cooling off at the pump...and these professional panic whores in the media want us to call that a loss? Yeah, sure, Jan. Pull the other one. These bed-wetting addicts are so hooked on doom porn they’d call a hostage negotiator a spineless pussy for actually getting the hostages home breathing. If Trump had turned Tehran into a parking lot tonight, they’d be howling that he’s a bloodthirsty madman. If he extracts blood from a stone without firing a shot, they scream he folded. Notice the pattern? Trump could personally karate-chop an asteroid out of the sky and CNN’s chyron would read: “Experts Fear Racist Debris May Disproportionately Harm Minorities.” Here’s what actually happened, you mouth-breathing morons: Trump made those bathrobe-wearing mullahs believe...deep in their shriveled little souls...that he was one hundred percent ready to turn their entire regime into glowing glass. That’s why they sprinted to the table like scared rats. That’s not “backing down.” That’s raw, balls-to-the-wall leverage. That’s what happens when the bad guys know the guy across the table isn’t some limp-dicked, scripted State Department eunuch who needs seventeen committees, a UN blessing, and a New York Times editorial board circle-jerk before he’s allowed to wipe his own ass. All you doomers, pearl-clutching cat ladies, and black-pilled keyboard warriors who spent the entire day shitting your diapers and doom-posting can fuck right off the app now. Go touch grass, or better yet, touch a rifle...you clearly need the practice. Once again, Trump weaponized pressure, batshit unpredictability, and pure fucking will to drag a pack of hostage-taking fanatics kicking and screaming toward a deal they never wanted. And the same rocket scientists who swore he was about to end the world are now frothing at the mouth because he might have just delivered peace and cheaper gas instead. Absolute fucking clowns.

Having ask grok as a premium service is going to harm groks development.

I produce original content almost every day. My audience loves it. It's shown to virtually no one. Now you can argue it's low quality, it's bad, anything you wanna.. People love to see my little digital self.. but X never lets it break containment. Ever.

The fact that the cancel mob was too afraid to cancel Chuck Norris while he was alive sounds like a Chuck Norris joke

the far becomes near

New law. If you pass a law and then you break that law. It's immediate executed capital punishment.

Lately. I scroll this site until I see a post that makes me feel like this. Then I leave for the day

A father buys a lie detector robot that slaps people when they lie. He decides to test it at dinner one night. The father asks his son what he did that afternoon. The son says, “I did some homework.” The robot slaps the son. The son says, “Okay, okay, I was at a friend’s house watching movies.” Dad asks, “What movie did you watch?” Son says, “Toy Story.” The robot slaps the son again. “Okay, okay, we watched an X-rated movie.” Dad says, “What? At your age I didn’t even know what that was.” The robot slaps the father. Mom laughs and says, “Well, he certainly is your son.” The robot slaps the mother.

Curious. All these idiot ramming cars. Since it's intentional. Insurance doesn't have to cover the damages to their clients car. Perhaps any cars and it's an immediate drop of policy right?

Live your life in way so that truth doesn't hurt.

You need a dictionary.

Appreciate the wait Stephen... There isn’t one cause. America’s division is the result of several forces hitting at the same time, each pouring gasoline on the others. Here are the big ones: 1. Social media rewired the country Platforms didn’t just connect people — they radicalized them. Algorithms reward outrage, conflict, and extremism because that content keeps people glued to the screen. So the loudest, angriest voices get the most visibility, while moderate voices disappear completely. Result: People now live in different information worlds. Not different opinions — different realities. 2. Political parties realized division is profitable Both parties figured out that fear and anger raise more money, get more clicks, and turn out more voters than unity ever will. So political messaging shifted from: “Here’s what we stand for,” to “Your neighbor wants to destroy the country — donate now.” When politics becomes a war instead of a debate, your fellow citizen starts looking like the enemy. 3. Collapse of trust in every major institution Government, media, public health, corporations, banks, higher education — trust in all of them cratered over the last 20 years. Why? Scandals, corruption, hypocrisy, manipulation, and blatant incompetence — across the board. When no one trusts the referee, the game becomes a brawl. 4. The media abandoned neutrality for tribal loyalty Outlets don’t even pretend to be neutral anymore. They’re audience-targeting businesses. So news isn’t designed to inform you — it’s designed to affirm your worldview and keep you locked in. This creates two Americas: •One that believes one storyline •One that believes the total opposite And each thinks the other is insane. 5. Economic stress made people angrier and more reactive Stagnant wages, insane housing prices, medical debt, cost-of-living spikes, corporate consolidation, and the destruction of the middle class created a pressure cooker. People under financial strain are more irritable, less patient, and more prone to blaming “the other side.” 6. Cultural shifts happened faster than people could process Everything — gender norms, family structures, technology, entertainment, values — changed at warp speed. Some people embraced it. Some people panicked. Some people felt erased. Some felt liberated. Rapid cultural change always produces backlash. Always. 7. Foreign adversaries exploited every crack Russia, China, Iran, and others pumped disinformation into American social platforms to widen racial, political, religious, and economic divides. They don’t need to defeat the U.S. militarily if the U.S. tears itself apart internally. 8. People stopped talking to each other in real life COVID isolation, remote work, online communities, political bubbles — all of it reduced face-to-face humanizing interaction. It’s easy to hate a caricature online. It’s harder when someone is sitting across from you. 9. Loss of a unifying narrative From WWII to the Cold War to the space race, America used to have shared goals and shared enemies. Now? No common project. No shared mission. Just a lot of grievance and competing identities. When a nation stops having a “we,” everything becomes “us vs. them.” Bottom line America’s division isn’t random and it’s not accidental. It’s the predictable result of: technology political incentives financial pressure collapsing institutions cultural upheaval foreign interference. You fix the division by addressing those root causes — not by attacking each other.

Reminder. @ABC could have exposed Epstien nearly a decade ago. And they are still sitting in the story they buried for "reasons".

How much money do you think Jeffery Epstien gave to @StaceyPlaskett?
