When they show you who they are, believe them.

“…we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

Kevin Roberts president, Heritage Foundation, July 2024

San Antonio
Corpus Christi

The dementia-addled president is deeply delusional and his poor mental state is going to lead to American citizens being hurt or killed.

On their national newscast tonight @nbcnews.com showed a clip of Trump saying Portland was burning to the ground and made the decision to neither confirm nor refute the claim. That is not how you do news.

When will we learn that just because someone says they are going to do something doesn't mean they really will be able to? My forty years in and watching the info tech industry has shown me the really big things generally come from folks who work quietly for years and only announce when it is real.

Indoctrination anyone?

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

After the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, it was natural that his allies, including Trump, lionized him as a patriot, free-speech advocate, and activist.

Here’s the problem: Kirk built his movement with falsehoods. And his advocacy was laced with racist and bigoted statements.

We had one of our highest turnouts for that vote. People will show up if they are convinced they can make a difference.

Yes

Agreed. I cringe and feel the need to apologize for senator dodger nearly every day.

Following the heinous murder of Charlie Kirk, the admin offered no ideas to protect us from gun violence but has been very busy trying to control free speech. They believe in the 2nd amdt but not the 1st. Recipe for little freedom & a whole lot of fear.

Just an observation…

A half-century ago, Kansas leadership in Washington pushed back against executive overreach • Kansas Reflector Fifty years ago, Kansas still had Republican leaders capable of independent thought and action, and our senior senator, James Pearson, was one.

the thing thats so galling abt the whole “Charlie was just a sweet boy who loved good faith debate“ line is that he was the opposite! He took advantage of naive college kids who believed in good faith debate, baited them into emotional responses and posted them online to a rabid fanbase of rw haters

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.

‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah.

Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence.

Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

It is incredibly simple to acknowledge that violence in any form is awful and erodes society.

And it isn't a Democratic hoax?

The cops heard Mills on speaker phone coaching the victim on how to obstruct justice and he's still walking around free because men's right to beat women is a core GOP principle.

The idea that Biden couldn't cancel student loans, a power explicitly given to him by Congress, is hilarious in light of what they are allowing Trump to do this year.

This says so much about his beliefs and those who elected and continue to support him.

Studies repeatedly show that most people age out of "hardcore" crime by their late 30s and 40s.

And nobody is "born to be" a criminal. Even Trump, who is a hardcore criminal who has not aged out of his illicit behavoir, was not born like this. I blame his parents.

important to reiterate from time to time:

"artificial intelligence" does not exist.

there is no sentient artificial being. no threepio. no demerzel. no terminator.

what the tech publicists call "a.i." is just big, crappy databases and mindless and often incorrect autocorrect.
