The last act of shia terrorism that I can think of.

Was the Marine barracks bombing in the 1980s.

Which was in...

LEBANON and at a direct military target rather than some place full of plebs.

So its pretty sus with all these sunni allowed terrorism against plebs on Westoid soil.

there's lots of shia terrorism outside of the west

The US is as big as all of Europe, so keep in mind that coastal voters here understand why voters in the plains supported Trump just about as well as Irish voters understand the concerns of Italian voters.

Yeah completely. But I do think that it's also indicative of the fact that people all over the West have been very divided. There are people in Ireland, Italy and various parts of the US that have more in common politically with each other than with their neighbour. And that's not a remotely natural situation.

All I know is it is estimated by Agricola to have took a single legion for the Romans to pacify ireland and they never had significant issues with them. Servile people.

Rome never made any attempt to "pacify" Ireland. They had seasonal trading posts there, but no permanent military presence. Agricola considered the possibility of annexation, but there's no evidence he ever attempted it, nor is there any evidence that it was more than a passing fancy. His estimate that it would only take one legion was based on supposition and little else.

New Supreme Court case to watch: "Supreme Court takes up Colorado conversion therapy case" (archive)

The Supreme Court granted a Colorado therapist’s request to review her challenge to a state law banning mental health care providers from engaging minors in conversion therapy, a discredited practice that attempts to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity to align with heterosexual or cisgender norms.

Kaley Chiles, a licensed professional counselor in Colorado Springs, challenged the law in 2022, claiming it interfered with her ability to treat individuals with “same-sex attractions or gender identity confusion” who “prioritize their faith above their feelings.”

The court’s decision to take up her challenge comes after the justices previously turned away opportunities to weigh in on conversion therapy bans. The case is set to be heard during the Supreme Court’s next annual term, which starts in October.

Chiles, who only uses talk therapy in her counseling practice, said in court documents that she works with adults seeking Christian counseling and minors “who are internally motivated to seek counseling.”

She argued that she assists her clients only in their “stated desires and objectives,” which sometimes include reducing or eliminating “unwanted” sexual attractions or learning to “grow in the experience of harmony with one’s physical body.”

Chiles, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, said Colorado’s 2019 law had forced her to deny voluntary counseling exploring sexuality and gender in violation of her and her clients’ religious beliefs and free speech rights.

A Colorado district court rejected Chiles’s suit in 2022, as did a panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled in 2023 that the law regulates professional conduct, not speech.

I know it's not completely good but it needs to be done to keep things going. Massie should be focusing on the September budget, they all should, and I'll shit on Johnson when he doesn't get it done then. But right now there should be no speedbumps for what Trump et al are doing.

This post made my day. Thank you.

it's not that it's not even completely good. this is one of those times where massie isn't just taking the easy route, he's actually right. this bill is fucking awful. it doesn't cut anything, and actually DOES restore shit that doge has cut. like i said, you ought to take a read into it and see why in this case it's actually not good. johnson is a niggerfaggot who needs to tie his own rope, because he's awful for the republicans and i'm still salty they voted that cunt in for speaker again. retarded.

There could be actual demons from hell and European countries would be like “no guys we have to accept them because of diversity” and then there would be massive protests from like 20-something college students demanding that they let in the horrible demons.

Killing the ontologically evil is a moral good. Give me a shotgun and a demon invasion would have like, 0.7 less demons. Because I'd probably die, but have fun killing (hopefully) at least one demon.

DHS can use data from prior CBP One registrations to track migrants for removal.

And that was the day Democrats learned why people don't want to register their guns with the government.

The Irish have a weird relationship with Palestine/ Gaza where they have sucked their dick for 20+ years. I have no idea why, but it persists to this day, so naturally, most lean to Gaza and must hate Orange Man.

You would have thought that if the Irish were so against oppression, they would have joined the fight against the Axis in WWII.

But apart from a few volunteers that went to England to fight, the nation just sat on the sidelines.

I can't figure out if they are too cowardly to fight an active war or just too drunk.

As the economic situation continues to worsen, I begin to wonder what exactly the plan is for paying off the debt. Let's just look at the numbers:

As of the end of last year, the US has $35.46 trillion in debt, at an average interest rate of 3.32%. This means that by the end of the year, assuming zero deficit, the debt will go up by an extra $1.18 trillion. However, we won't assume zero deficit because Congress is the one in control of money, and they project a $1.9 trillion deficit for 2025.

So we have a pretty simple goal: if we want to just tread water and keep the debt exactly where it is, Trump needs to come up with $2.98 trillion in additional revenue by the end of the year. Let's call it $3 trillion for simplicity. Where will the money come from in 2025?

Increased tariffs on China: $20 billion
Tariffs on Canada and Mexico: $110 billion
DOGE: $105 billion (claimed)
Removing Dept of Education: $102 billion

Okay cool, so far we're at $0.34 trillion, a ninth of the way there for 2025. In the meantime, at his joint address to Congress Trump called for renewing his expiring 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which allows a $4.5 trillion increase in the deficit from tax cuts over the next decade so long as spending is cut by $2 trillion. If spending is not cut by $2 trillion, the cap on tax cuts will be reduced dollar-for-dollar; if spending is cut by more than $2 trillion, the cap on tax cuts will be increased by the same.

I'm gonna be honest: I think this is retarded. This is Congress saying that they're going to buy a private yacht on their credit card, and Trump is agreeing so long as he gets a $20 discount on the annual maintenance. I don't know what the solution is but this ain't it.

I really have no idea WHY cause no on the left side of gamergate looks good or even accomplished anything in the past ten years. Just a cascade pile of failures and scammers with each one being worst then the last.

There is no solution to the debt because it's built on a pyramid scheme.
Solving the debt crisis would require cutting social spending, which ain't gonna happen because over half the electorate depend upon it.
Or you force every woman to have 10 kids.

That extra 4 trillion in tax is just going to make everyone poorer while the debt remains unmanageable.

1) The total unfunded liabilities of the US are 73 trillion dollars as of 2024.
2) Federal revenue has nothing to do with spending(deficit/new debt).
3) Tax cuts don't reduce revenue.

You don't even have the basis of the issue correct, your opinion is worthless.
