We shouldn’t be giving elective foreign aid to any country whose national debt per citizen is less than ours. That shouldn’t be controversial.

We’ll keep prior commitments, but shouldn’t sprinkle $$ like it’s pixie dust when we’re $33TN deep in debt.

It’s sheer lunacy that we gave more than $600mm in aid last year to Lebanon, which is basically controlled by Hezbollah, while expanding aid to Israel to fight its adversaries like Hezbollah. There’s a better way to do the arithmetic, folks. The foreign aid racket needs to end.

If @gavinnewsom banned the Proud Boys in California, it’d be a First Amendment violation.

When @rondesantis bans Students for Justice in Palestine in Florida, it’s a First Amendment violation.

SJP’s opinions are disgusting. But that’s exactly what the First Amendment protects.

Free speech doesn’t just protect the ideas we love. It protects the ideas we hate. The idiotic college “pro-Palestine” student groups are dead wrong to excuse genocidal attacks against Jews and spout disgusting anti-semitism, but one of the things that makes us different from Islamic terrorists is we don’t silence dissent. It’s a shameful political ploy for @rondesantis to ban the existence of pro-Palestinian student groups at Florida universities. It’s unconstitutional. It’s utter hypocrisy for someone who railed against left-wing cancel culture. Conservatives should be allowed to criticize BLM or vaccine mandates, and crazy liberals should be able to criticize Israel or the West even if they’re dead wrong about it. I’m well aware this isn’t a politically popular position right now, but if the government can censor who can speak vs not, the rest of it really doesn’t matter: we’re no different than those we pretend to fight.

I don't watch or listen to #FoxNews anymore, do they still hate #Trump?

I had to blog this. This is insane. One of the Reporters Spearheading the ⁦@nytimes⁩ Coverage of the War In the Middle East Loves Hitler And the Nazi’s. (No Really)

✨ Friendly reminder ✨ #Mastodon is older than:

* The fall of #Twitter.
* The birth of #Bluesky.
* The birth of #Threads.

If you feel like your timeline is empty, that nobody interacts with you, or that this space seems abandoned...

In summary, if you miss the artificiality of The Algorithm©, remember that you are the person in charge here 🤗 And that this is the most beautiful gift a social media platform can offer to anyone.

Mastodon has a lot of active accounts. Therefore, make your experience here more relevant by:

* Following other users.
* Interacting with them.
* Following hashtags (this is how you replace the recommandation algorithms).
* Following bot accounts (some are really great and useful).

This is gonna be fun 😊

I can't believe the videos and posts I've seen this past week:

- Members of LGTBQ community defending Palestine as if they wouldn't be imprisoned (or worse) for their beliefs there
- More and more footage of innocent civilians being tortured, killed, and paraded around
- Elected leaders unable to make a statement condemning said videos and those who committed these atrocities
- Universities explaining free speech and it's importance when it's being used by pro-terrorist groups for calls of violence on college campuses after years of suppressing the speech of those with conservative principles

When they show you who they are, believe them.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed….. the founding fathers knew that a well armed people would be free from tyranny.
“Civilian Security Team” = “well regulated Militia”

I'm all ears!

One of the wild rabbits we're hand-rearing. They are about 5 weeks old. This is the bigger by far of the two, weighing 260g

Every American should own an AR-15 and know how to use it

If you need a reminder on who the real fascists are… the left wants me to go to prison for reposting their own tiktoks

@realcaseyrollins @Twiglet @BowsacNoodle @Marbleturtle > I thought the point of this thread was

I didn't scroll up

I think he overused the Executive Order (they all do). I think economically he seemed to be doing ok up to the pandemic. I think he trusted the experts a little too much [although I don't know that I'd want a person in a position of such power that was completely unwilling to take advice from people more knowledgable either]. He fell for 2 weeks to slow the spread. He fell for the stimmies. He also fell for bumpstocks and flavored e-liquid. He acts quickly which isn't necessarily bad, but I don't think he course corrects fast enough.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL): “If this country's going down, and if we're losing the dollar, I'm going down fighting. And I don't care if that means fighting Republicans, Democrats, the Uniparty, the leadership, the PACs, the lobbyists. I've had it." ~ Matt Gaetz
