No, it’s not “Pride Month.” Not for me, and not for millions of others. You’re welcome to be proud of whatever you want, in any month you like—because this is America. But what started in 1969 as a rebellion against persecution, morphed into a license for public depravity, and then morphed again into a weapon aimed at families and innocent children. Along the way it went from a day, to a week, and then a month and became official, and thereby effectively mandatory for all. Enough! If you’re gay and wondering why you are facing resistance now, the answer is that, with few exceptions, most of you didn’t stand up against the expansion and weaponization of “pride,” and the coercion that went with it. In that failure to resist, the gay community compromised any expectation that the rest of us should support “pride” at all, but especially the obscene display of hostility toward civilization and the families of which it is built, and for whom it exists. If your hackles are raised by the idea that civilization is about families, realize that families are how civilizations persist through time. Not everyone needs to form one, but we all must respect and protect them—It is the foundation of what it means to be civilized. For the small fraction of gays and lesbians who DID courageously stand up and resist expansion, coercion and the weaponization of “Pride,” I stand with you, and I have all along. But I won’t be celebrating, and I won’t be silent. It’s not too late to join the voices of reason and to confront the insanity of what “pride” has become.

Define successful, and please don't mention how many rich people we have or what the GDP is.

Clearly there was huge levels of fare evasion. Montgomery County was not leaving just $1.6 million on the table, but likely an order of magnitude more!

I will never understand the idea that if your team wins a championship, you need to then start destroying things. Where does that urge even come from?

Given the current global circumstances, I don't see how embracing carbon-intensive regulations would make things LESS expensive. My broader point is that confiscating Elon Musk's wealth and using it to construct at-cost housing nationwide would be good on both ends.

But meaningfully, I suspect that the people who are complaining about “crime” are actually just complaining about bad behavior. Hence the recent discourse shift towards “public order”, because crime statistics clearly don’t refer to the things people are complaining about
