Never underestimate how much Freako hates Texans.
James talarico says Texas oil and gas workers are "destroying the planet" and it's "time to transition" the industry. #TXsen

How is this possible? Minnesota you guys have to vote for @Michele_Tafoya, your state is broken.

It was an authorized search warrant approved by a federal judge as part of a criminal investigation.
No one is above the law.
Virtually zero chance this is what actually happened. But 32 million people have seen this post and she’s trying to put that small store out of business. It’s far more likely she’s an entitled brat that didn’t get what she wanted so she threw a fit.
Just drove all the way to Brooklyn to check out this store I thought looked really rad and had a few things in mind to buy and literally was looked at as if I couldn’t afford it and was told he could find something comparable for me. Wow, dude. You’re an idiot and just lost a huge sale. But y’all should go check out Art of Play in Brooklyn if you enjoy being treated like Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman. For sure, check it out 👎
The case against public execution rests on one premise: that virtually every civilization in human history was wrong, and we are the first people enlightened enough to figure everything out. We ended slavery and decided that made us the moral authorities on everything else. It didn’t. It just made us arrogant.
There’s a lot to learn from history and it’s not just what not to do. Sometimes, it’s what to do.
The Pope comes out and directly contradicts scripture. No man has the authority to declare something contrary to God’s will.
The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty
RT @DavidBCollum: I am facing issues that are really weighing on me heavily. I used to think the world was entertaining. It now just seems…

What’s terrifying about this clip isn’t their ideals…these sweet gals’ hearts are certainly in the right place. What’s terrifying is they have the civic, political, and economic literacy of a 9 year old. When a charlatan like Abdul comes along with the Jr High class president schtick of “no more homework and the vending machines are all free!”, they fall for it.
I don’t know how you get to that age with ZERO understanding of supply chains, manufacturing, labor costs…but a lot of folks think that medicine and MRIs and hospitals just materialize out of thin air like unicorn farts. They’ve never built anything in their lives, so they have no concept of how things function…things are just…there. They think milk comes from the store. They think rich people don’t pay taxes, even though the top 1% fund 40% of government with their taxes already, and yet 40% of all Americans contribute ZERO federal income tax at all. These people don’t understand that you could tax the wealthy at 100% and it would only fund the government for 120 days. Then you’re screwed.
Too many Americans simply have zero understanding of how anything works, and even though they’re living in the easiest times in human history, they think things are “terrible out there”. These commie scammers roll through and promise them things that sound great, but aren’t possible in reality, and have devastating consequences if tried…but because they don’t know anything, they fall for it. Sadly, so many of our politicians and their advisors are such atrocious communicators, there’s like zero countervailing narrative to push back on the commie gobbledygook, so we are gonna have to learn the hard way. Guys…we just had a sample of socialism: Covid. We all got universal basic income, and it ended up tripling our costs and they’ll never go down. Ever. That one brief little experiment in command and control government will haunt us the rest of our lives. Bleak stuff, man.
10 people died in the DC sniper attacks after immigration officials released an illegal Jamaican teenager that Border Patrol had already flagged for deportation in 2001.
When agents arrested Lee Boyd Malvo and his mother in Bellingham, they recommended he stay locked up pending removal.
Instead, the Seattle INS office cut him loose on a $1,500 bond in January 2002, after which he linked up with John Allen Muhammad and the pair spent the next 9 months preparing the modified Caprice they used to kill from the trunk.
Muhammad was executed in 2009. Malvo, 17 at the time of the shootings, received life sentences in Virginia and Maryland and has spent years litigating to cut them.
Maryland’s highest court refused his latest appeal in August 2026.

Secretary Marco Rubio on the world stage: Western civilization is “the greatest story known to man.”
John Kerry on the world stage: We need “money, money, money, money, money, money, money” to stop climate change.
What a difference. What an upgrade.
A hidden execution teaches nothing. A public execution teaches that we will not tolerate evil and that the community, not some government committee, is the one enforcing that standard. If that makes you uncomfortable, good. That’s the point. The alternative is a culture that flinches at the punishment and shrugs at the crime, which is what we currently do. It has not produced less violence. It has produced more violence and less justice.
Your assumption is that we are taking pleasure in this public execution. It is not so. This is a deterrent and a reminder of what happens when you commit these acts.
This was also commanded in the Old Testament so the people would hear, fear, and not repeat the offense.
I support the death penalty. God himself told Noah that those who willfully take the life of another should be executed.
The United States Army prohibits public executions, but the Pentagon does not seem to care about following its own rules.
The pagan Roman Empire relished the public spectacle of executions. Growing up overseas in an Islamic country, some executions were public. Christendom, over time, recognized that justice is not to entertain or titillate. Justice is not meant to be a spectacle.
In Ezekiel 33:11, scripture reads, “As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live.” Proverbs 24:17 echoes that for us. “Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice.”
In Chapter 19 of De Spectaculis, Tertullian, one of the early post-apostolic church fathers, wrote about the public spectacle of executions in Rome. “It is good, no doubt, to have the guilty punished. Who but the criminal himself will deny that? And yet the innocent can find no pleasure in another's sufferings: he rather mourns that a brother has sinned so heinously as to need a punishment so dreadful,” he wrote.
In Confessions, Augustine wrote of his friend Alypius, who, dragged into the Coliseum to see gladiatorial fights, shut his eyes, though not his ears. Upon the cheers of slaughter, he opened his eyes to the blood, and the bloodlust corrupted him. Augustine’s writing has long taught Christians not to be entertained by the spectacle of violence, as watching it can damage you.
I support the death penalty. Public executions are soul-twisting and we should not go down that road.

Wow, another super racist and unlikable WNBA player. These women would rather be poor than have white fans.
You get more of what you celebrate. A bunch of kids saw a bunch of other kids being celebrated for being gay, so they identified as being gay. It was always social contagion. This is why it was much higher and hard-core blue states than red states.
Young teenagers are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual than a few years ago, according to a new analysis.
“It really does look like a free fall,” Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology, said. “But what’s causing it is unclear.” wapo.st/4dtMSyQ
