-Liquor/wine budget of $300 a month, top shelf only

This bit I have to disagree with. $300/month on wine/liquor is a far cry from top shelf. Top shelf starts at $1,000/month, and quickly climbs if you're a wine snob.

I've noticed that he replies to very little, political or not. He's not here to engage. He's here to demoralize.

Florida needs to get rid their red flag laws and the RINOs who voted for them.

Drives me nuts when people bitch about illegals not getting 'due process' but a guy like this loses a constitutional right flat out for just being accused.

It was also never approved by Congress, the corrupt chairman (Rep. Rangel, D-NYC) just lied:

FOPA Hughes Amendment VOTE APRIL 10 1986 [a6Mx2UcSEvQ].mp4

The motion to proceed failed the voice vote, yet the Chairman lied and said it passed. Other Congressmen demanded a recorded vote where it failed 297-124, yet the Chairman ignored the results and still brought the amendment up for a voice vote, where again, the Nays clearly had it. He then refused to have a recorded vote until time ran out.

at around 8:41 you can see him smile while he ignores a request for a roll call vote

I'm starting to think there's something really to this. It's reminding me of when USAID was killed and a lot of media companies were suddenly going broke.

To think we actually may have had a less racist society before this shit was stirred up and took hold... instead they had to win, smear and try to destroy the right to have a soft civil war. Whats worse is ActBlue was taking money from foreign entities. That means the democrat funding machine relied on anyone from VZ, Iran, to China, Somali, terror orgs, India.

In a rational society this kinda of treason would warrant public executions.

I know, late and autistic, but something about this stuck in my craw. Education has not been forbidden to Western girls basically ever. Girls of decent social standing have been expected to be literate for centuries. Jane Austen never feared imprisonment for committing the crime of learning to read. What changed wasn't whether we educated girls, but why. What we didn't do before was educate girls to join the professional class. Now we do. We did this because they complained it wasn't fair and thought we men had all kinds of awesome fun at the office that they weren't getting invited to. Then they joined the office, discovered we weren't respecting trannies' pronouns, and here we are. But yeah, putting in a solid 40 hours at Jew day care leaves a woman with little time and energy to start a family, plus the independent income makes a lot of men less attractive to her.

While I guess you're correct about what is written in history (and popularized by the yaz kween slay historians of today), I don't think it holds for what kept the population growing (the working class or whatever your ideological worldview calls it).

But I also found out I was incorrect: the turbo-orthodox actually seem to have done what I commented on ("you'd think some population somewhere would've come up with a healthy/sustainable culture permitting female education"), as its way more common for females there to get _secular_ education (compared to males) to help support the families, they just delay it until they're married and get some children. At least from my brief look into it, anyone who has actual knowledge of this feel free to correct me.

In NC this is a massive issue. The Ukraine chick is just the tip of the iceberg. Tons of violent prisoners get out on low bond or bail. Crime is more a politically rich topic in the state, 2024 it was migrants and crime, but heres its DAs letting feral nogs loose to terrorize the population. This issue could resonate with the voters if its done right.

It’s why I thank God I live outside of the cities. Even though the area is majority black, the ferals are few and contained mostly to their areas in the towns.

"Weird for a journalist named 'Amal Khalil' to be a blonde, blue-eyed woman," I thought to myself.

Actual photos of Amal Khalil:

Why did they use photos of a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman?

Could it be that they know that even among the "free Palestine" crowd, people are more concerned about blonde, blue-eyed women than women who look like this journo actually did?

I'm going to say something that's going to make you upset. Women, in all of Western societal history, have never been uneducated by definition. This is a common misconception spread by both Feminists and woman haters who bend the idea to suit their own narrative/goal, while they hate each other they both use this tactic. I could write an effort post and make it relevant to US politics but would you or anyone even care?

Because browns and Arabs like to try and present as white to gain sympathy points.
>Appealing to liberals
>"Oh poor me! I'm just a brown poor turd worlder!"
>Appealing to disenfranchised/dumb Republicans
>"OMG you bombed a blonde White woman!!!!!!"
It's just a game to them. Makes you wonder who leaned from who. Did the liberals learn from the third worlders or the other way around.

We did.

I'm Gen X. In the 80s and 90s we knew actual racism was wrong, like real discrimination and "Kill niggers" hatespeech, but you could also joke about race, everybody knew some broad stereotypes were true, and nobody cared.

In 1985 Barry Gordy Jr made The Last Dragon, where a ghetto black kid acted Asian, Asians acted black, there was broad racial humor about blacks, Asians. Italians, etc. And nobody was offended and white kids loved the movie as much as black kids. You could never make it today.

In the 90s it started with "political correctness" and that became the pearl clutching wokeness of the 2010s. The same thing happened with male/female relations and "sexual harassment" at work. Sure, "suck my dick for a promotion" is bad, everyone knew that. But now just flirting with or expressing interest someone you don't even supervise is grounds for termination.

Society has been ruined. Zoomers and Alphas are particularly wrecked and indoctrinated and I don't see things changing back for another 50 years.

Reagan was an actor and a Democrat before he became POTUS and still managed to push his agenda. A lot of politics is not about 'legislative experience', but charisma and the ability to argue your point convincingly to the legislature. I think Trump had it at one point, but he's unfortunately just too old now.

The Democrats had legislative goals back then, too. Today, they really don't. There's nothing for them to collaborate with Trump on because their only real goals are opening the border and selling the country out to China.
