I've been seeing a lot of "broken promises are why I'm staying home" and zero "he was too mean to illegals so now I'm voting Democrat!"

The Empire in "Star Wars" is bad because they created a weapon entirely for the purpose of annihilating entire populated planets and killing billions of people. The original trilogy has a very black and white Saturday-morning cartoon morality.
It was only when Lucas came back to it as an older man and actually started thinking about the question of why Anakin Skywalker would abandon the Jedi to join the Dark Side that he really began to add complexity to it.
And considering the OT was made by a boomer white guy lefty who was slyly suggesting in the 1970s that the Vietcong were the good guys, the prequels function as a pretty sharp critique of democracy.
The Republic is completely paralyzed by competing factions trying to extract rents for their constituents at everyone else's expense, and anyone trying to get anything productive done has to do complex horse-trading involving paying wasteful graft to these interests in order to build a coalition for their policies. This is what all the Trade Federation nonsense in Phantom Menace is about.
And while the Republic was trying to keep all these disparate interests united by paying off special interests, its entire structure got turned inside out by Palpatine.
And the Jedi were too preoccupied with running nonsense errands on behalf of the Republic Senate and being sent around the galaxy like rent-a-cops to solve problems for the various factions that they didn't notice any of this happening.
And the reason that Anakin was susceptible to corruption by Palpatine is that the Jedi and the Republic didn't offer him any possibility of a good life. They bound him to a code of celibacy and service to these grubby little factions and their dysfunctional, wasteful, corrupt government. And that's supposed to be good, because, what, democracy?
Honestly I can see how a politician like Palpatine who spent his career in Republic institutions might reasonably decide that fascism enforced with a planet-destroying space laser would be a superior system.
Of course, Palpatine sucked too. Anakin didn't get anything he was promised in exchange for betraying the Jedi. He still lost his family and he got turned into a cyborg terminator, and it didn't even work out that well for Palpatine, whose engagement with the dark side of the Force turned him into a cryptkeeper.
But things didn't go much better for Obi Wan, who spent the rest of his life squatting in a hut in the desert.
And even the sequel trilogy (if you consider that canon), the galaxy immediately turned into a mess after the Empire fell, the new Republic had all the same problems the old one did and Luke's commitment to the Jedi ideals got him the same crappy life Obi Wan had.
"Star Wars" ended up being about how everything is terrible no matter what you do.
Nobody has made a convincing argument the Empire in Star Wars is actually bad. They run clean organized starships and create trillions of jobs across the galaxy. When the Jedi run the government - an unelected council that somehow has infinite money to build giant buildings and own fleets of starships - Coruscant still has a redlight district with drugs like death sticks. Either keep civilizational order by nuking rogue planets, or be slaves to sexless fake Jesus types who slice you with laser swords with impunity.
Gonna tune in for the tele-rally in Iowa or whatever to hear our favorite president talk about gay buttcheeks.

Hilarious watching Israelis crashout over foreign money in their elections.

“allegedly attacked”
Please follow this entire thread.
Tucker Carlson is deranged. He accuses me personally of ignoring a US citizen allegedly attacked in Judea/Samaria by Israelis & says I "blew him off." Tucker knows how to contact me, but he'd rather make unfounded accusations than get facts.
Here is a timeline of Embassy Jerusalem American Citizen Services' interactions on this case. We have never been able to speak directly to the father, (name redacted) who was allegedly injured in an attack by settlers, only to his son in Chicago, (name redacted). The son has repeatedly asked that he be the only person with whom we speak with.
19 Oct – ACS received an email from (son) alleging his father had been attacked at his home in Turmusaya by settlers and was now at Istishari Hospital in Ramallah. We called the son in Chicago the same day and asked for contact information for his father which he was unwilling to provide. We followed up the same day with an email to (son).
20 Oct – We followed up with another email to (son) asking for contact information. (Son) asked us to call him. We called the son twice that day and there was no answer. We called the hospital in Ramallah several times but were unable to reach anyone.
21 Oct – Received another email from (son) saying his father was undergoing surgery at the hospital. We called the son in Chicago who said he would send contact information for next of kin in the WB which we didn’t receive. He stated he didn’t want to pursue the matter with the local authorities and said family members would travel from the States to the WB and wanted assurances they wouldn’t be denied entry at the airport.
22 Oct – We spoke again with (son) who subsequently wrote in an email…”Thank you for taking the time to speak with me and for your understanding regarding the tragic incident involving my father. Thank you again for your time, support, and assistance during this difficult time.” We responded in an email that we would like to speak directly with his father or his uncle and asked for local contact numbers. We didn’t receive any numbers. We received another email that same day saying his brother and mother were traveling to the WB from the States and he wanted assurances that they would be allowed in. We also received medical reports and photos passed to us from the son showing the wounds of his father.
23 Oct – We called the hospital in Ramallah but were unable to reach the father.
26 Oct – We called the (son) in Chicago, but no answer. We left a message asking if the brother and mother had arrived and contact numbers for them. We haven’t received a response or contact numbers.
Tucker, you can apologize when you find your conscience & acknowledge the facts.

The fact of the matter
“So it is with the Holy Scripture. In the hands of someone inspired by God, who is in the state of illumination or glorification, it is divinely inspired. In the hands of a pseudo-theologian, however, Holy Scripture is nothing.”
-- Fr. John Romanides
“Having never seen (Christ) and never having deserved to hear His voice, how can His holy will, as pleasing as it is perfect, be taught to you? If you say that you will learn it from Scripture, I ask the question: ‘How will you, who are completely dead and lying in darkness, hear it and put it into practice, so that you become deserving of life and of the vision of God?’ In no way at all!”
-- St. Symeon the New Theologian

In another major blow to Americans looking for work, the Economic Times is reporting that the US has begun approving H1-B petitions without the $100,000 fee.
This can't be real. I refuse to believe it's real.
NEWS: Trump erupted after he learned Alina Habba signed a $50 million deal. He told allies she should donate a portion of that money to his future presidential library or another Trump entity. He also suggested the family should not pay out her contract.

What If?
Before the politically homeless right, former supporters and realists get blamed for getting smoked in the midterms, perhaps some self-reflection is due?
Have they ever considered that their own actions might have something to do with it? Of course not!
Pointing out real things that occurred isn't being a doomer, but hey what do I know.
Some privilege.
Black freshman enrollment at Harvard falls nearly 50% following the Supreme Court’s 2023 ban on race-based affirmative action, declining from 18% to 9.3%.
Meanwhile, Asian student enrollment climbs from 29.9% to 43.2%.

Why are the TPUSA guys still debating? Every “debate” clip I see from them now is just:
> “You should not kill me.”
> “Ok but we’re going to.”

Ambassador Huckabee, this is unreleased video of an American who was beaten almost to death last week by Israeli settlers. You know his name because he came to you for help, but you blew him off. That’s disgraceful. Do your job.
