Because he doesn’t care about anyone other than himself. And either do his supporters.

Cruelty is the point. The deficit is just the distraction.

🚨A Bible-thumping Arizona elementary school teacher who shared #SaveTheChildren posts on Facebook has been arrested for allegedly being a child predator himself. Chester Cox, 31, of Cottonwood was arrested on three counts of s*xual conduct with a minor and two counts of child m*lestation. The investigation began after the mother of an 18-year-old man reported her son had been abused by Cox when he was approximately 11 or 12 years old. Cox had been teaching at Dr. Daniel Bright Elementary School for roughly seven years and also served as a community youth coach. Authorities say the abuse occurred at a private residence — not school grounds — and the victim was not his student. While Cox was allegedly preying an innocent child, he was sharing PragerU videos, MAGA content, and Bible verses on Facebook. When MAGA posts portray themselves as defenders of children, they always seem to be trying to mask their own predatory behavior.

I don't think anybody really grasps how desperate this situation is. University professors are now saying they are unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. College kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages. Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures. There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them. If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything. Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings: Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them. Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history.

You thought Epstein Island was bad? Israel built the only military prison in the world designated for children. Children are subjected to beatings, torture, and rape on a regular basis. Conviction rates in courts reach 99.7%. This applies only to non-jewish children.

And those arrested for protesting a genocide will likely face more jail time than this psychopath.

According to Oxfam, Elon Musk’s wealth as a trillionaire is equivalent to the combined wealth of the poorest 46% of the world’s population. That's about 3.8 billion people - nearly half of humanity.

BREAKING: Stanford University graduates staged a walkout during Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s keynote address at commencement Sunday. The walkout was organized by Students for Justice in Palestine and No Tech for Apartheid as a protest against Google’s contracts with the IDF, Dept. of Homeland Security, and ICE.

BREAKING: Tommy Robinson has been arrested at Heathrow under terrorism laws, coming back from Moscow—where he was hanging out with Errol Musk. Elon Musk spent all last week encouraging Robinson and mass violence in Europe. Welcome to the world’s first trillionaire.

Musk is the leading example of an illegal immigrant living off public welfare in human history and the man spends every day pretending the real problem is a woman cleaning motel rooms in West Murfreesboro Our species has let this evil man prosper and we will pay the price for it

“A trillionaire nazi is getting ready to build more rockets” sounds like the plot line to an Indiana Jones movie, but nah, it’s just the world in 2026.

The US & Iran are to sign a deal today that not only will end their war but also impose a ceasefire between Lebanon & Israel. So this is what Israel did to Beirut sabotage Trump's attempt at peace. And Israel will do more sabotage unless Trump imposes a cost on Israel.

Everything they told you about China and Russia is actually true of Israel Zionist meddling is a national security emergency

MAGA are unstable people

Trump on tape. Claiming E. Jean Carroll enjoyed being sexually assaulted by him. In his own words. This is the MAGA Leader. A Fucking Rapist.

Somehow he’s not right wing ENOUGH for Cons.

The World’s First Trillionaire Is Not Your Friend, And Other Notes It’s so pathetic watching Elon Musk’s groveling bootlickers fall all over themselves on social media to defend their favorite oligarch from criticism as he becomes the world’s first trillionaire. They’re like “Don’t be mean to the trillionaire, just become a trillionaire yourself! All you need is luck, connections, wealthy parents, the ruthlessness to step on anyone who gets in your way, and a willingness to cooperate with murderous imperial institutions like the Pentagon and the CIA!” Elon Musk is a military-industrial complex plutocrat who is balls deep in the US intelligence cartel and recently facilitated the US-Israeli regime change operation in Iran. You have infinitely more in common with the average person in Iran, Cuba, Lebanon or Palestine than you have with the world’s first trillionaire. It’s so gross how many fawning admirers this freak still has. The trillionaire is not your friend. ❖ People who say “Zionism is just the belief that Jews should have a homeland” are hilarious. Zionism isn’t some abstraction; we can all see its material manifestations with our own eyes. We can all see that Zionism means genocide, apartheid, and nonstop wars and abuse. This isn’t some kind of theoretical debate where we all get to have our own opinions about what Zionism is and what it entails. It’s 2026, not 1890. The facts are in and the case is closed, kids. This is what Zionism is. This is the only Zionism in existence. What you see is what you get. And what you see is quantifiably one of the most evil things happening on our planet. ❖ Some guy told me, “Why are you fine with the existence of approximately 50 Islamic nation-states, but the single Jewish one is apparently too many?” I showed him an illustration of a nail stuck in somebody’s foot and said, “Why are you fine with an entire foot made of flesh, but a single metal spike is too much? The only possible explanation is that you have a seething hatred of metal. It can’t possibly be that you object to a foreign object being violently forced into a region where it does damage.” He got upset and wound up telling me he hopes I get murdered by Mossad. ❖ Hasbara is so gross because it’s just Zionists throwing walls of language at you to convince you you’re not seeing what you’re seeing. You see raw video footage of the most horrifying thing imaginable in Gaza, and then you see them in the replies going “This is actually fine and normal because words words words words words words words.” You see a news report about Israel doing something astonishingly evil in Lebanon, and there they are underneath it going “There’s actually a lot more to the story because words words words words words words words.” You see some far right Israeli minister spouting nakedly genocidal rhetoric, and they’re swarming all over it saying “Well this isn’t actually what it looks like because words words words words words words words.” You see every major human rights group on earth saying Israel is guilty of genocide and apartheid, and they’re running around frantically telling you it’s a giant conspiracy to frame Israel and the truth is that words words words words words words words. You see more and more mainstream news institutions reporting on the mountains of evidence of widespread rape and torture in Israeli prisons, and they saturate the airwaves claiming it’s an antisemitic blood libel because words words words words words words words. The idea is to just pound your intellect with a firehose of verbiage until your inner sensemaker has been shredded and you’re too confused to form a coherent picture of what’s actually going on. It’s a disgusting, abusive, and profoundly unethical thing to do to people. But the good news is it’s not working anymore. Language is immensely powerful, but its power has its limits. Israel’s behavior has become so transparently unacceptable that no amount of word magic can manipulate people into seeing anything other than what’s happening in front of their face. ❖ Reading by Tim Foley.
