A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…
It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.
…It has piqued your interest.
You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.
If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.
It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.
And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.
Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.
This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙

Problem is, Trump can't just withdraw this one and nominate a different deal.
The Iran deal for Trump is shaping up to be like the Harriet Miers nomination for Bush.

So I guess we see the limits of the Right's support for our men and women in uniform

When you've picked a stance and try to force the facts to fit it, rather than the other way around
Unless retroactive laws are Biblical- which is a case you'd have to prove- then there's nothing to explain here? We follow God's laws, then men's, which would be the Constitution for us.

St. Lizzie of Columbus: Princess, white martyr, patroness of "good" battered women
Unless someone slipped a pill into a woman’s drink unknowingly, the woman is not a victim in this situation and still deserves to be charged with murdering her child.
We’re speaking about murdering your child. There is not any amount of bullying that could convince me to kill my babies. There isn’t any amount of physical coercion. Put a gun to my head and im still not going to kill my own baby. No sane person would.

It's not even "toxic empathy"--it's literally being able to imagine being anyone who isn't you

Americans today will spend >$200 million less on gasoline than they did a month ago, but the cost is still $342 million more than one year ago. Americans will spend ~$1.51 billion today on gasoline.

Political parties aren't religions. Utter insanity

A Muslim Texan hoping to participate in the state Republican convention left in tears after after being told explicitly that he should leave the country.
Mohamed Hussein was among four Muslims who arrived at the convention in earnest and were met with discussions of Sharia Law that veered into outright Islamophobia. bit.ly/4eo3nfd

Ffs. Can we get some money for Americans?

In a call with reporters, a senior Trump administration official said negotiators discussed a potential $300 billion fund to help rebuild Iran.
"You'll see in the MOU, we discussed the possibility of releasing frozen funds, sanctions relief, a big $300 billion fund to rebuild their country."

Weird, I can still love it with moronic ingrates in it
“I can’t love the country that’s led by Donald Trump.” More hateful rhetoric from Robert De Niro at Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment:
“I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors and separate families. I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant. And let me just say it: I can’t love the country that’s led by Donald Trump and a sycophant Congress. For most of my life, of course, I did love this country...”

I’ve defended the administration’s America 250 plans, because I trusted they really would be non partisan, really would bring us together. But I was wrong. And it sucks. I also apologize to the musical acts who dropped out who I criticized. They saw it.

The fighter yelling “Michelle Obama is a man,” at an official White House event to honor America is utterly unacceptable and the administration should denounced it in no uncertain terms.

You could say the sun never sets on it
My theory is that the American empire is JUST getting started.
US has a stranglehold on Space with SpaceX, which is the next frontier for defense/war. It has a comically large lead. No one will be close for at least 20 years.
It is the leading power in AI by far - both in models and chips. China is catching up fast, but the US has an inherent mechanism that will increase the likelihood that it will win in the end - a free market capitalism free speech.
A free market capitalism allows for brutal competition between companies. Free speech allows for AI models to be maximally truth seeking, which means that AIs CAN and WILL BECOME smarter than humans to the point where they can tell the truth about its leaders.
This is literally impossible in China. Try having a Chinese model that says Xi Jinping is corrupt. Good luck with that.
Then, you have a country that has more guns than people and surrounded by two massive oceans and two friendly neighbors, which means any sort of kinetic take over of the country is literally impossible.
Not to mention the US has BY FAR the best and strongest military.
The only way adversaries can hope to defeat the US is by tearing it from within by pitting us against each other. This is why it's virtually guaranteed that all the division/hatred/polarization you see within the country is fomented by China/Russia Psy Ops propaganda efforts.
I'm not saying these aren't naturally happening in spots - America is far from perfect - but it would be naive to think our adversaries aren't pouring millions of gallons of fuel on a fire.
As long as the American public a) has the ability to exercise its free speech b) has a protected 2nd amendment c) capitalism and free markets continue to function and d) the populace is aware of how awesome America really is, it is literally impossible to stop the US's trajectory to global domination in the coming decades, especially as China's demographics continue to collapse.
It's the bottom of the 9th, the game is tied, and the US has the bases loaded. It's a 3-2 pitch.
All we need is a home run, and we win the rest of the century.

Trump sounds like he never wanted the great Persia back but only their oil?
That's treason. Why did those poor 40,000 people die for then?

Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds:
No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house.
Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. shop.onwardtogether.org/coll…

The logical outcome is they become mandatory snitchers, like Covid but somehow even worse.
Please don't go down this road with them, @conservmillen

Obviously it won't just be the commission of an act but its contemplation, because who, having overheard, wouldn't be liable?
In a place people come for confidential help at the worst, most vulnerable moments...dystopian

This is when you know you've gone too far in making mother & child out to be entirely separable beings. Violence toward one is violence toward the other. An attack on one is an attack on the other -- OBVIOUSLY. This is the most self-evident thing there is
On her show today, @conservmillen announced her fourth pregnancy (congratulations)!
The great news was juxtaposed with Jesse Ridgway’s viral abortion announcement & bid for sympathy.
“Typically the only victim in an abortion situation is the BABY,” Allie said.
“Yes, sometimes the woman is a victim if she has been raped – if she has been coerced into having an abortion… But you are not a victim just BECAUSE you had an abortion.”
She clarifies that the emotional turmoil after an abortion is CONVICTION.
