Happy New Yea....aaaa...fuck.

I still loved America when Joe Biden was president. I disagreed strongly with him. I opposed almost all of his policies. I thought most of the things his administration did were damaging to the country. But here's the thing: I never stopped loving America. You see, America is bigger than her government. America is not Joe Biden. America is not Donald Trump. America is not Congress. America is not the bureaucracy. Governments come and go. Administrations rise and fall. Politicians make mistakes, abuse power, pass bad laws, and sometimes do genuinely terrible things. But America is bigger than any of that. It’s the culture, the people, the communities, the traditions, the freedoms, the churches, the charities, the families, the businesses, the neighbors who help each other when disaster strikes. It’s the idea that free people can govern themselves and build something better. (And disagree while trying) A president can damage the government. A Congress can damage institutions. Neither Biden nor Trump can destroy the spirit of America unless we decide to surrender it ourselves. If your love of your country depends entirely on who occupies the White House, then what you love isn’t really your country. It’s a political administration. I loved America under Biden. I love America under Trump. I’ll still love America long after both of them are gone.

History won’t remember the people who said it couldn’t be done. It will remember the people who did it anyway.

Hey Jasmine… Black pilot here. I think you missed the plot. Then again, that’s becoming a pattern. I graduated from West Point. I went through Army flight school. I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache. I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad. Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color. Nobody lowered the standards for me. Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.” That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand. Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting. I didn’t want a different standard. I wanted the same standard. And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is. They care whether the pilot is qualified. Merit isn’t racist. Excellence isn’t discriminatory. And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.

No going to lie, this SpaceX shirt - even with Elon making Starship look "Pointier" - look like it has a bunch of dildos on it. Love SpaceX, but this isn't a great shirt.

NO white person alive today owned slaves. Teach your kids that. NO black person alive today was born a slave. Teach your kids that. Not all white people owned slaves back then. Teach your kids that. Millions of white people fought and died to end slavery. Teach your kids that. People should not inherit guilt from their ancestors. Teach your kids that. People should not inherit victimhood from their ancestors. Teach your kids that. You are responsible for your own actions, not the actions of people who lived 200 years ago. Teach your kids that. America is not perfect, but it is not uniquely evil. Teach your kids that. The West is responsible for some of humanity's greatest advances in freedom, science, medicine, and prosperity. Teach your kids that. Loving your country is not racism. Teach your kids that. Wanting secure borders is not racism. Teach your kids that. Wanting safe communities is not racism. Teach your kids that. Wanting merit over quotas is not racism. Teach your kids that. Questioning political narratives is not racism. Teach your kids that. People should be judged by their character, not their skin color. Teach your kids that. History should be taught honestly, not used as a weapon. Teach your kids that. A nation that teaches its children to hate their heritage will not survive. Teach your kids that. Your country is your home. Protecting it is not something to be ashamed of. Teach your kids that. You do not owe an apology for being born. Teach your kids that. Never let fear of being called names stop you from speaking the truth as you see it. Teach your kids that.

Je me suis longtemps passionné pour la psychologie, et une période m'obsède plus que toutes les autres. L'après-guerre. Le moment où des chercheurs se sont posé la question la plus dérangeante du siècle: comment l'Allemagne nazie avait-elle transformé des pères de famille ordinaires en bourreaux de camp? La réponse, ils ne l'ont pas trouvée chez des monstres. Ils l'ont trouvée chez des hommes parfaitement banals. Hannah Arendt a appelé ça la banalité du mal. L'historien Christopher Browning, en étudiant le bataillon de réserve 101 (des policiers d'âge mûr, des pères, des commerçants), a montré que ce ne sont pas des fanatiques qui ont fusillé des civils, mais des hommes normaux incapables de désobéir au cadre dominant. Puis vint Milgram. À Yale, environ deux tiers de gens ordinaires ont infligé ce qu'ils croyaient être des décharges mortelles, simplement parce qu'une autorité en blouse blanche le leur ordonnait. L'expérience de la prison de Stanford a montré la même chose sous un autre angle: donnez à quelqu'un un rôle et un cadre, et il s'y conformera jusqu'à l'inhumain. La leçon n'est pas allemande. Elle est humaine. Le mécanisme s'active dès qu'un cadre moral dominant fait craindre la sanction sociale plus que ne compte le témoignage de ses propres yeux. L'individu cesse de voir ce qu'il voit. Il voit ce que le cadre l'autorise à voir. Maintenant, regardez Southampton. Henry Nowak, 18 ans, poignardé, allongé au sol, répète aux policiers « j'ai été poignardé », « je ne peux plus respirer ». Réponse de l'officier: « I don't think you have, mate. » Pendant ce temps, son meurtrier retourne la situation d'une phrase: il aurait été victime d'une agression raciste. Quatre mots ont suffi pour déplacer le soupçon de l'agresseur vers la victime. Et l'officier a obéi. Pas à un ordre. À un cadre. Un cadre qui lui a appris, pendant des années, qu'une plainte pour racisme est l'accusation la plus dangereuse de sa carrière. Plus dangereuse, dans son réflexe conditionné, qu'un corps qui se vide de son sang devant lui. Exactement le mécanisme de Milgram, de Browning. Un homme normal qui cesse de croire ses propres yeux parce qu'un cadre moral lui a appris ce qu'il devait craindre. C'est précisément ça qui me terrifie. Souvenez-vous: le monde entier s'est agenouillé pour quatre mots, « I can't breathe ». Des entreprises, des gouvernements, des stades entiers. Henry a prononcé les mêmes mots, en train de mourir. Il n'y aura ni genou à terre, ni hashtag, ni minute de silence. Parce que sa mort ne sert pas le cadre. Elle le contredit. Et un système qui apprend à une société entière à faire passer l'accusation de racisme avant les faits, avant le corps, avant la vie, n'est pas une posture morale inoffensive. C'est une machine à fabriquer des hommes qui, face à un enfant en train de mourir, choisissent les menottes.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST DESCRIPTION OF THE HIGHJACKING OF DEBATE YET👇👇👇🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

⚡️ 🛰

I remember... Do y'all remember?

Japan has 124M people. The U.S. has 339M people. Japan had 19,000 suicides in 2025. The U.S. had 27,000 gun-related suicides in our highest year (2023). Upwards of 64% of all gun deaths in the U.S. are suicides. Japan is culturally homogeneous with a more Conservative culture. Gun control doesn’t save lives.

DeCarlos Brown was capable of getting welfare, food stamps, welfare housing & free medical care. He was capable of getting tattoos. He was capable of getting arrested. He was capable of arming himself. He was capable getting on a train in Baltimore. He was capable of unaliving.

🇺🇸 やっとわかったよ、アメリカの友人たち。 何でそんなに日本を大事にしてくれるのかを。🤝 NATOの本当の危機は、防衛予算の数字だけじゃない。 それは欧州の「文化的優越感」だ。😤 80年間、**アメリカの納税者**が欧州の安全保障の大部分を負担してきた。💰 戦後のマーシャル・プランでは、アメリカ政府が約133億ドル（今日の価値で約1500億ドル相当）をほぼ全額、米国の税金で欧州に投入した。 冷戦期も、アメリカの政府と財団のお金で大学・美術館・オーケストラ・芸術活動を支え、「西側は洗練された自己実現の社会」と世界にアピールした。🎨 それでベルリンの壁は崩れた。🧱 しかし、皮肉な結果が生まれた。 他人のお金（主にアメリカの税金）**で長年「優雅さと高尚な文化」を享受すると、それを「自分たちの文明の成果」だと勘違いしてしまう。❌ 一方、アメリカは空母、工場、半導体、エネルギー開発といった現実的で地味な仕事を、汗水たらして担ってきた。💪 欧州の目には、それが「粗野なアメリカ」に映るらしい。 アメリカが「負担を公平に分け合おう」「エネルギー自立が大事だ」と言うと、「野蛮だ」「俗悪だ」と切り捨てる。🙄 現実を見よう。 欧州には世界をリードするグローバル企業も、完全なエネルギー自立も、米国抜きで本格的な軍事力を発揮する能力もない。 あるのは、アメリカが長年支えてきた文化と優越感だけだ。😌 文明とは、講義やシンフォニーではなく、自分で自分を守り、維持できる力のことだ。⚔️ 欧州よ、もう優位ぶるのはやめよう。 自分の海軍を強化し、エネルギーを自前で確保し、現実的な負担を果たせ。🚢 アメリカの強さを「当然の安全網」にしながら、見下すのはもう十分だ。⛔️ 私たちは十分に寛大だった。 本物の同盟とは、相互の責任を伴うものだ。講義ではなく、行動で示してくれ。✅ 一方、日本はどうだったか。 日本は日米同盟を基盤にしつつ、**自国の税金**で防衛力を着実に強化してきた。2025年にはGDP比約1.8%（約700億ドル規模）に達し、2026年以降さらに増額。 技術（半導体・AI・ロボット）やエネルギー自立にも実務的に投資し 「文化的優位で実務を軽視」する欧州型の心理とは明確に違う。🇯🇵 日本のように「同盟を大切にしつつ、自らしっかり負担する」姿勢こそが、健全な同盟の理想形だ。👍 アメリカの友人たち、そして日本の同志たちへ。❤️ 私たちアメリカ人は、80年間、自由を守るために血と汗と税金を注いできた。 日本は、その信頼に応え、静かに、しかし確実に自らの責任を果たしてきた。🙏 この絆を、感謝と敬意と現実的な行動で、さらに強くしていこう。 欧州の幻想に振り回されず、日米が手を取り合って、真の自立と相互尊重の同盟を築く時だ。🤝 私たちは、一緒にやれる。 そして、一緒に強くならなければならない。💪🔥 #NATO #BurdenSharing #JapanUSAlliance #AmericaFirst #StrongAlliances

Thank you @KidRock. @USArmy pilots suspension LIFTED. No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots. 🇺🇸

This. It feels like this lesson has been learned and is being applied here over the long term by the left. By the sound of it, in Japan , UK, Australia.... basically everywhere. His post is a long read, but well worth it.
