If your political ideology starts with "The Jews", "Israel" or "Zionists", you aren't America First.

Dude, they’re cheap leather “dress sneakers” that a lot of people wear.
And they’re just casual shoes not some super-secret, special footwear. You people have gotten to be so ridiculous and hopefully the gullible will realize you’re all useless grifters.
Indian Ethnonationalist posting video of Indian event with Indian entertainers for Indians living in Texas claims they are part of Texas.
Meanwhile, people aware of Texan history are looking at this going, "What an odd place to make that argument."

Didn't Dinesh freak out during the initial H1B conflict with Vivek? It was specifically his display of ethnic loyalty that turned me away from support for a multi-ethnic society.
Here's a guy who's been in the movement for decades, and an American patriot for just as long, who revealed himself as an Indian ethnonationalist and tribal loyalist the second his country came under scrutiny.
Bannon's a ghoul, but that doesn't make D'Souza an American patriot.
Oh hey California finally found a country they are willing to patrol the border to keep out.
Unfortunately, that country is America.

Sucker. They've told epic stories through RTS. They needed an RPG because they are only know how to write 'stories' like "CHAMPION, to save Azeroth from CERTAIN DOOM I need some components for [MacGuffin]. You must go take your axe and collect 300 kobold skulls from the thrall decks."

Very reasonable and understandable position to take.
Here's the problem. You literally can't end up in my position. I get what you mean by that--reservations, federal treaties, etc.
Not much of that really ever applied to me because Comanches don't have a reservation and I was raised by a White couple in Lawton, OK, but I get it.
If you are demographically replaced, the people who replace you are NOT going to set up a dedicated federal agency to your welfare. They're not going to set aside land for you, grants, royalties from resource extraction, etc.
You will be treated like the Whites in South Africa are being treated. If you're lucky, you own your home and turn it into a fortress. You need to look after yourself completely because the police aren't on your side anymore.
If you don't own your home, you'll end up in some dump paying an insane % of your paycheck just to keep the lease with your dot Indian landlord.
This is why I am hard on your guys and insist that you get as serious as you can as fast as you can because this will be your reality, and that of your kids, sooner rather than later.
Place your intra-White hostilities totally to bed. Not just aside--gone. I could care less if you're left/right, protestant/catholic, fucking whatever. This is SURVIVAL time.
I don't want my people to be in the same position that your people are. That's my counterargument to the dots who try that point out.
And much like the English and Irish, I want your people and mine to be free to work through the conflicts arising from our contentious history without either of us being replaced by the detritus of the Ganges and Indus.

WELL I was assaulted by a schizo homeless guy today in Toronto.
I was walking to the grocery store when he started stalking me. I tried to get away from him but it didn’t work. He grabbed me, pinned me against a fence, and then tried to break my hand to steal my phone. Three people passing by helped save me.
The police were quick and kind, but the officer I spoke with told me this guy had been arrested for attacking people repeatedly in the past month, and “fair warning, a judge will probably let him out by tomorrow morning.”
🫠 lovely system we got goin on here folks

My dear Wormwood,
You still think in terms of churches and arguments. That is why you fail. The churches can be left standing. What must be spoiled is the literature that taught the young to love the Enemy before they could define Him.
Narnia is one of the more irritating of those books. Children meet Aslan first as adventure and only later discover they have been handling Christ. That is dangerous. Direct attack only makes the stories more precious. So we do not ban them. We adapt them.
Give the Voice to a so-called celebrated actress. Leave the mane. Leave the pronouns. Then the thing that was a male Christ-supposition becomes a prestige performance. The story remains famous; the meaning becomes negotiable. In a generation the story will still be beloved, but the beloved thing will no longer be Lewis’s Lion. It will be the version that flatters the age.
That is how the Enemies literature is destroyed without the vulgarity of a bonfire. Keep the title. Change the sound. When the children hear Aslan, let them hear the present century speaking through Him. Once that habit is formed, the Enemies stories survive as brands. Their doctrine does not.
Do not call it persecution. Call it interpretation. The patients prefer that word, and it does our work admirably.
Your affectionate uncle,
SCREWTAPE
Meryl Streep will officially voice Aslan in Greta Gerwig’s ‘NARNIA: THE MAGICIAN'S NEPHEW’.

Inability to get angry isn't kindness. It is terror.
Somewhere in childhood, you learned that showing anger meant losing love, so you removed the battery from your own fire alarm.
Anger isn't a sin. It is your soul saying: 'This boundary matters.'

This is telling, and a criticism I receive sometimes:
You are expected to be loyal to your ethnic kin. Migrants know this perfectly well. Making their use of liberalism as a shield entirely disingenuous.

"ON THE GROUND! DO NOT MOVE OR I WILL BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT!"
Two masked men burst into a Chevron gas station at 4:30 AM in Yuma, Arizona.
The lead robber pointed a heavy black handgun straight at the cashier's face.
Standing by the counter was James Kilcer.
James was holding a plastic grocery bag in his right hand.
Inside were two bottles of Gatorade and an energy drink.
The armed criminal walked right past him, raising the weapon.
Big mistake.
In zero point eight seconds, James made his move.
He did not drop his drinks.
He snapped his left arm forward, slapping the barrel away from the clerk, and slammed his left forearm across the gunman’s throat.
The pistol flew across the linoleum.
The second robber took one look at James, panicked, and ran out the glass door so fast he nearly tore his shoes off.
James slammed the first gunman facefirst into the tiled floor.
He drove his knee directly into the man’s neck, locking his wrists behind his back.
All while holding his plastic bag of cold drinks securely in his right hand.
When deputies arrived with shotguns drawn, they found the armed robber crying on the floor, completely immobilized under a single knee.
James was leaning over him, calmly waiting for his receipt.
The sheriff asked James how on earth he reacted so fast without getting shot.
James wore a red cap and looked at the deputies:
"The Marine Corps taught me not to mess around."
Then he checked his plastic bag.
"The best part? Not a single Gatorade got cracked."
No Hollywood special effects.
No second thought.
Just a combat veteran who neutralized an armed robber in less than one second and saved the morning beverages.

Do yall remember Diane Feinstein?
I bring this up because when she was declining everyone on the right was pointing it out and everyone on the left was defending her.
Mitch McConnell is on the same path but this time I see both republicans and dems pointing it out and how this is dangerous for him and our country.
I lean more conservative because it seems like that side is for the truth and not just party lines. Willing to call out stupidity within its own party. (Albeit sometimes)
Mitch it’s time to go. There is no shame in leaving.
Don't mock Crenshaw's eye, @Con_Tomlinson. He lost it killing America's enemies. You can dunk on him all you like for his stupid policies and double-standard for the US and Israel, but mocking him for his eye is akin to mocking Sir Adrian de Wiart for his.

MFers will be three generations deep still named Piyush. Meanwhile my first generation Asian homey named his sons Charles and Brian.
People hate Indians due to the color of our skin. Don’t get it twisted.
The stunt that Bo French pulled is absolutely vile and is inherently anti-American.
These people must be held accountable for such hateful remarks.
Because we weren’t founded on skin color. We were founded on a belief that everybody is equal.
Bo French, Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, needs to apologize for this.
