“As great a tragedy as this was, it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well,” GC As evidenced by Casey’s comments, grievance ideology existed in the military long before our current struggles against it. It must be torn out root and branch. politico.com/story/2009/11/c…

You can fix it now with a little pain, or later with a lot. Your call Montana.

Never Forget
Twenty-five years ago this morning, nineteen terrorists murdered nearly 3,000 people. They struck the Pentagon, forced the heroes of Flight 93 to decide how that day would end, and brought down the Twin Towers. @ODNIgov was not built as a monument. It was built as a correction: to integrate, coordinate, and warn—so the President and the country can act before the next attack, not after it. We honor the dead by doing the work they can no longer do. Remembrance without vigilance is just ceremony. Thank you to everyone who still carries that duty. May we be worthy of the people we lost, and of the people who still depend on us.

Who baked that cake?
Imagine one of them actually created a brand-new TikTok account just to post this video, proudly showing off the cake they bought to celebrate Charlie’s assassination. These people are truly sick.

The academy is dead.
EXCLUSIVE: I obtained internal messages from UNC Charlotte @unccharlotte discussing how to celebrate “kirkaversary” and mocking Charlie’s ass*ssination One message even hopes Trump dies today. We have a serious problem with the culture on our college campuses. But of course, it’s working exactly as Democrats designed. We share a country with these people…

Never Forget
Twenty-five years ago, evil attacked our homeland. Nearly 3,000 Americans never made it home. Firefighters, police officers, first responders, service members, and ordinary Americans answered the call with extraordinary courage. We honor their lives. We remember their sacrifice. We will never forget. God bless the fallen, their families, and the United States of America.

Never Forget
Today, at the Pentagon, we unfurled the American flag in solemn remembrance of the nearly 3,000 Americans who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Twenty-five years later, their memory remains with us. We will never forget.

FREEDOM
One year ago, we tragically lost a fearless patriot. A champion for freedom and for our country. Charlie Kirk changed the course of American history. His courage, conviction, and love of country will never be forgotten. ❤️ "Well done, good and faithful servant"

"The target was precisely identified: not the state, not the economy, but the institutions that reproduced the cultural hegemony – the universities, the media, the schools, the churches, the legal system. Infiltrate them. Occupy them from within. Replace the people who ran them with people who shared the counter-hegemonic project. Don’t storm the Reichstag. Get a job in the editorial office. Get a position in the faculty. Get appointed to the curriculum committee. The revolution would happen through tenure, not through barricades." - KS
Now the Third Man – Rudi Dutschke – The Man Who Gave the Long March Its Name. Gramsci invented the strategy. Dutschke named it – and then went out and implemented it, in the streets of West Berlin, in 1968, with a generation of students who had read Gramsci and were ready to march. 1. Born in East Germany in 1940, he fled to West Berlin in 1961 – two days before the Wall went up. He had seen actually existing socialism from the inside – and concluded not that the project was wrong, but that the method was. He didn’t want that version. He wanted a better one – built from the inside of the Western institutions rather than imposed from above by a party apparatus. 2. He read Gramsci. He read Mao. And he synthesized them into the phrase that named the entire project: der lange Marsch durch die Institutionen – the long march through the institutions. Not Gramsci’s phrase. Dutschke’s. Gramsci had described the mechanism. Dutschke gave it the slogan that made it actionable, transmissible, and operational for an entire generation. The phrase spread across Europe in 1968 like a match dropped in dry grass. Every student who heard it understood immediately what it meant and what it required. 3. The target was precisely identified: not the state, not the economy, but the institutions that reproduced the cultural hegemony – the universities, the media, the schools, the churches, the legal system. Infiltrate them. Occupy them from within. Replace the people who ran them with people who shared the counter-hegemonic project. Don’t storm the Reichstag. Get a job in the editorial office. Get a position in the faculty. Get appointed to the curriculum committee. The revolution would happen through tenure, not through barricades. 4. On April 11, 1968, Josef Bachmann shot Dutschke in the head on the Kurfürstendamm in West Berlin. Three bullets. Dutschke survived – but never fully recovered. He spent the rest of his life in partial recovery, moving between Germany, Denmark, and Britain, still writing, still thinking, still speaking at conferences with the damaged brain of a man who had been shot for his ideas. He died in 1979, drowning in his bathtub during an epileptic seizure caused by the brain damage from the shooting. He was thirty-nine. 5. The shooting produced something Bachmann had not intended: it made Dutschke a martyr and the movement a cause. The protests that followed — directed primarily at the Axel Springer media company, whose tabloid Bild the students blamed for inciting violence — were the largest street demonstrations in West Germany since the war. The attempt to silence the long march accelerated it. The generation radicalized by the shooting went on to become exactly what Dutschke had described: the professors, the journalists, the civil servants, the judges. The bullet proved his point. 6. Gramsci designed the theory in a prison in Italy. Dutschke gave it its name and its generation in Berlin. The 1968 student movement he led was the transmission mechanism – the moment the Prison Notebooks left the academy and became a political program with a slogan, a street presence, and a generational identity. Without Dutschke, Gramsci remains a text. With Dutschke, he becomes a movement. The long march through the institutions began, as a practical matter, in West Berlin in 1968, among students who knew precisely where they were going and had a name for the route. 7. The institutions they marched through are now theirs. The universities, the media, the civil service, the judiciary – all transformed, over fifty years, exactly as Dutschke described. He was shot for saying it could be done. It was done. The man who named the march did not live to see its completion. He died at thirty-nine in a bathtub, from the damage done by a bullet fired by someone who thought killing him would stop the march. It did not stop the march. It never does. Ideas shot in the head have a way of surviving their authors. Even the bad ones.

What's the difference between Lindsay Clancy supporters celebrating child killing and Democrats celebrating child killing?
