The take away here is that many women generally just have less agency or "softer" agency compared to men. For a woman, a man refusing a condom mid-coitus is akin stopping a house sale mid-signing to demand a roof repair.

A man refusing condoms is "a preference" but a women refusing pregnancy is "murder". That isn't morality, it's misogyny.

It's a sunk-cost fallacy and she feels like she can't back out of the whole deal, even though it would be perceived as show stopper issue earlier in the deal. If you assume a fetus isn't a baby, there's literally very less downside to an abortion compared to refusing sex.

Why do moderate liberals pretend like fair and transparent elections is some high-level unseen technology that must require endless committees and oversight? Ban mail-in ballots or make it extremely difficult. Require ID. Literally every other developed country does it.
A close friend of mine is cancelling his voter registration today. He is convinced Spencer Pratt was robbed of the election. I explained to him that in California we count absentees first (which skew older and more conservative) and election day voters are younger and more Democratic. The slow count is largely because of policies to maximize participation, including postmarking a ballot on Election Day. Regardless, we need to figure out in California how we can get the vote counted faster and results tabulated so it does not drag on. We should make the investments in operational improvements and resources in the wealthiest state in the nation. It is worth spending the resources to get the vast majority of the vote counted within 48 hours. Right now the system is eroding trust and spawning conspiracy theories.

For reference the greens are 10lb and the yellows are 35. The blues are usually 45lb/44lb. So he's shittily squatting 105lb with 70lb in fall-away plates, grunts while overhead pressing 65lb and drops it like it's work, and then benches 155 with 70lb fall-away. 🤷‍♂️🤷🤷‍♀️

Any realistic martial artist takes it upon himself to be responsible for his own protection and those around him, and any realistic perspective of that will comes with it an understanding that weapons (especially firearms) are the tools which maximize that ability.
I've lost count of the Black Belts that still carry guns.

Even though our kids won’t see our love “grow old together” from an earthly stand point; they’ll see it from a Heavenly one. And I’ll tell them of our love story any moment I can. Happy Anniversary to the love of my life.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30 smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000 will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

I'm willing to bet that there's a very strong correlation between the blue button people and the people that wanted Covid lockdowns and forced vaccinations.
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

A managerial jew who despises personal heroism and selflessness, calls them cattle, and then complains about paying taxes.... This shit writes itself.

Beyond China's world-famous high-speed rail, there's another side to its trains: This is the "village slow trains" (公益慢火车) winds through remote mountains in Guizhou. Farmers casually bring goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, fruits, and vegetables on board to sell in town. Lowest ticket: just 2 yuan (~$0.28). No extra charge for livestock. 81 pairs still run nationwide, mainly -a public welfare lifeline for rural communities.

Today we see if Fairfax County gets to control 5 of the 11 congressional seats in Virginia. BTW that's the same county that keeps releasing illegal immigrants with multiple violent felony charges back on the streets to murder Virginians.

People that argue against UBI are missing the point. You can't stop it, because the alternative is social collapse that threatens elites so it will absolutely happen in the form of Disability, welfare, and social programs fraud. It is already happening.
UBI will quickly morph into a deadly social control system. "You get money as long as you please us!" Jobs will dry up for regular workers, then dissidents will be denied UBI, and they will starve.

On this day in 1865, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant. Lee showed up dressed in his best, looking like a dignified gentleman. Grant was covered in mud after riding all morning. Before anything was signed, the two men spoke about their shared service in the Mexican War -- a reminder that Confederates and Union soldiers were nonetheless countrymen tied by mystic chords of memory. Grant did not create terms of surrender to humiliate the South. Grant and Lincoln understood that to unify the nation, you could not imprison half of it. Confederates were allowed to keep their sidearms and personal horses. When Grant learned that Lee's men were quite literally starving after having not eaten for days, he ordered 25,000 rations sent to them immediately. Lee said this would have "a very happy effect" on his men. When Lee rode away after signing terms of surrender, Union soldiers cheered. Grant forced them to stop, reminding Union soldiers that Confederates were "now our countrymen" and there would be no cheering over their downfall. (In fact, days later when actual ceremonial surrender occurred, Union Gen. Josh Chamberlain reportedly ordered his men to salute passing Confederates as a sign of respect) Lee also worked diligently to stop Confederates from waging guerrilla warfare, encouraging them to set their arms aside and return home and in peace. He was a titan in his own right. If the spirit of 1865 had been driven by the urge to shame and punish, the Union would not have lasted. So many people today misunderstand that and as such, they try to rewrite America history. God Bless America.

What a misleading headline from The Daily Mail. The ATF ran a tool mark analysis on a bullet jacket fragment recovered from Charlie's autopsy. The result was "inconclusive" — not "no match." The jacket was too fragmented to compare, which also partially explains the lack of an exit wound. The bullet shattered on impact. "Inconclusive" means insufficient evidence to draw any conclusion. It doesn't mean the bullet "did NOT match" the rifle like the headline says. The defense wants to use "inconclusive" as exculpatory evidence — but the prosecution wants to run chemical or molecular analysis comparing the jacket alloy to ammunition recovered with the gun. Unlike tool mark analysis, it doesn't require an intact bullet. The defense is trying to block that testing from happening. That's the nuance of the real story.
Bullet used to kill Charlie Kirk did NOT match rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson, new court filing claims trib.al/sWEJfeN

Historically, the two deadliest mass murdering ideologies on Earth have been Islam and Communism... together responsible for more death, destruction, and human misery than anything else in recorded history. And right now, the Democrats have gone all-in on both. They’ve wrapped themselves in the blood-soaked banners of these twin evils like it’s some kind of flex. The party of tolerance is proudly platforming the two most intolerant, freedom-crushing death cults humanity has ever known. Say what you want about the Democrats, but they’ve got impeccable taste… in totalitarian nightmares.

Many people, even self-described conservatives, think socialism would work if human nature were different. No. Socialism cannot work, even in a hypothetical society of selfless genius saints. Why not? Because socialism centralizes economic choices. How much lumber do we produce? How much wheat? What should the hourly wage of a garbage collector be? How much should insulin cost? How about bread? Socialists think that if you elect the right people, they will make these decisions intelligently and altruistically, and everything will be great. But it doesn't matter how smart and benevolent you are... you can't make a good decision without the right information. The Socialist Central Planning Committee, however wise or benevolent, doesn't know what's wanted, or what's available, because that information is conveyed in prices, and accurate pricing is the very thing that socialist governments wipe away with the bureaucratic pen. Capitalist networks are decentralized. They distribute decision making to where the information is. A man selling metal doesn't know anything about desks, or lumber. He doesn't know how many desks people want, or whether they should be made out of oak, or folded metal. But he does know how much it costs him to smelt iron ore into steel, and roll it into sheets. So he sets a price, and others decide whether, and how much, to buy. That price contains the information others need to decide whether steel is plentiful, and should be folded into anything you can make out of sheet metal, or is scarce, and should be saved for things that can only be done with steel, and furniture should be made out of oak, or pine, instead. Socialism works, or rather doesn't, by using the threat of force to set the prices of things, or take money from one person and give it to another. But every time this happens, critical data on supply or demand is erased... data that you need to make decisions. Individual prices are a decision, a guess at where supply and demand cross paths. But since free markets reward those who guess correctly, or copy a correct guess, aggregate prices are data on supply and demand. For a socialist central planning committee to order the manufacture of the correct number of cars, or to correctly set the price of a car, they need to know a thousand thousand thousand things about steel and aluminium, welders and assembly robots, rubber and glass and lithium batteries and copper wire, which they must gather, along with trillions of other pieces of data, from literally everyone in their entire civilization. Tesla only needs to know how much people charge them for the stuff they need. At every transaction in a captialist society, vital data is compressed into its most compact and useful form, then passed along to the adjacent step, where abundant brainpower is waiting to make decisions with it. Any defective node in the web that fails to make good decisions receives swift and automatic feedback, and either heeds that feedback or goes out of business, to be replaced by someone who will. Yes, in a capitalist system, there are many undesirable results. But capitalism doesn't create these results. It discovers them. They are inevitable consequences of the state of technology, and will persist until something is invented that changes the terrain. In socialism, no such solution is possible, because all the inherent problems you need to solve with progress are hidden from view by the far worse problems you created for yourself by separating the place where decisions are made from the place where information is known.

Mises obliterated the entire socialist project in 1920 with one devastating insight: "Where there is no free market, there is no pricing mechanism; without a pricing mechanism, there is no economic calculation." The socialists spent the next century pretending this problem didn't exist while their economies collapsed around them. And yet here we are, watching politicians promise they can "fix" healthcare, housing, and energy markets through central planning. They can't even calculate the cost of their own programs correctly — how exactly are they going to allocate resources across an entire economy? Every Venezuelan breadline, every Soviet grain shortage, every Chinese famine was just Mises being proven right in the most brutal way possible. But sure, let's try democratic socialism this time. What could go wrong?

The democratic system is infected with retards who don't understand the difference between private business and public infrastructure services. They literally think every bit of money that's isn't currently in their pockets is in a giant pile somewhere waiting to be allocated.
I don’t want data centres. I want better roads, equipped hospitals, safety social nets for the unemployed, old and disabled, and developed public schools.

Trans people have zero grounding with the truth & reality. They should not be trusted with any complex decision making more than what to eat for lunch. We should be listening to them at all, and most of them should probably forcibly committed into mental asylums.
I think the fact that she was a far-right loser has more to do with her being a school shooter than her being trans, actually. She's one of yours bro!
