Congratulations to the modern Western ruling class! You inherited democracy, constitutional liberty, modern science, industrial civilization, and the fucking Moon landing, then somehow concluded that the whole magnificent achievement was embarrassing.
What an extraordinary collection of geniuses.
Standing before the Parthenon, Marco Rubio exposed the intellectual bankruptcy of these self-appointed guardians of enlightenment. The ancient Greeks built upward. They celebrated excellence, competition, ambition, and the relentless pursuit of greatness.
Our modern cultural aristocracy? They've turned lowering standards into a moral crusade.
Imagine explaining this bullshit to the people who built the Parthenon.
“We've discovered that expecting excellence is exclusionary, competition hurts feelings, and exceptional achievement creates uncomfortable inequalities.”
The Greeks would have wondered how civilization survived long enough to produce such spectacular idiots.
Their intellectual descendants explored the world, built cathedrals, unlocked the laws of physics, conquered impossible engineering challenges, and sent astronauts hurtling toward the Moon.
Today's credentialed mediocrities hold conferences about why celebrating those accomplishments is problematic.
And these sanctimonious clowns expect applause.
They condemn the history that produced their freedoms, sneer at the patriotism that sustained their nations, and congratulate themselves for dismantling the standards that made extraordinary achievements possible.
They've even managed to transform national prosperity into a source of guilt. Imagine being handed the accumulated achievements of twenty-five centuries and deciding your greatest contribution should be an apology.
That's one hell of a résumé.
The Parthenon survived empires, invasions, and twenty-five centuries of history.
Our modern cultural gatekeepers can barely survive the possibility that somebody might outperform somebody else.
And here's the most breathtaking arrogance of all: people whose highest intellectual achievement is finding new reasons to lower the bar have appointed themselves the moral authorities qualified to tear down the civilization that raised it.

I’ll be candid: Some of the online forecasts I saw—not from other TV stations in town—were unnecessarily alarmist. My forecast consistently called for 2–4 inches of rain, with isolated higher amounts. You can look back through my feed and verify that.
In more than two decades of forecasting weather in North Texas, I’ve never seen this much panic and overreaction surrounding a forecast of 2–4 inches of rain, an amount we see fairly often. Heavy rain deserves attention, and localized flooding can be serious. But the messaging should reflect the actual risk.
I believe some online weather sources helped fuel that anxiety. This kind of fearmongering seems to grow every year, and the consequences go beyond one forecast. Repeatedly overstating threats erodes public trust. Eventually, people may tune out warnings altogether—including the ones they urgently need to hear.
That’s the “boy who cried wolf” scenario, and it’s dangerous. Our responsibility is to help people understand the risk and prepare, without creating unnecessary fear.
I know @Fauci has a pardon, but can't the govt get him civilly? His actions seem to me represent a massive tort against the country.

5 Thomas Sowell Lessons the West Refuses to Learn
1. Poverty is not evidence of injustice
2. There are no solutions, there are only trade-offs
3. Decision makers must face consequences
4. It's not greed to keep what you earn
5. Don't replace what works with what sounds good

Iran didn’t win a deal. They signed their own death warrant and called it a victory.
On paper, the MoU gave them everything they could have dreamed of ... a $300 billion reconstruction slush fund, sanctions relief, and American forces supposedly pulling back from the region.
In reality, Trump gave them a performance-based contract that demands they stop being the Islamic Republic to collect a single cent. No nuclear program. No terror proxies. No IRGC spreading revolution.
That’s forcing a regime to commit ideological suicide and then dangling money in front of them while they bleed out.
They can wave the brochure around and scream about their big win all they want. The fine print is crystal clear: they only get paid if they betray the very reason they exist. And if they refuse ... which they almost certainly will ... Trump already put it on record. More bombs. For weeks. For years. However long it takes.
This wasn’t weakness dressed up as diplomacy. It was a trap with better marketing. Obama handed them $150 billion with no strings attached. Trump handed them a loaded gun, pointed it at their own head, and told them the safety’s off until they stop acting like Iran. They got the dream sheet. He kept the trigger. And the only way they cash out is by destroying everything that makes them who they are.
Good luck collecting.

Cute theory, let's play it out.
A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last.
But... oh wait, there is no pile.
It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded.
The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it.
Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0.
The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession.
But it gets worse.
Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all.
Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees.
So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked.
So the monkeys sit there.
No bananas.
No rockets.
No coordinates to get more banananas.
Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer.
OH
And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.

🇺🇸 Most Badass Americans You Don’t Know D-Day Edition: John J. Pinder Jr.
Technician Fifth Grade John J. Pinder Jr. landed on Omaha beach on his birthday. He didn’t make it off.
Born June 6, 1912, in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, Joe Pinder was the oldest of three children. His father worked in the steel industry.
He graduated as valedictorian of Butler High School in 1931.
Pinder spent the next several years as a right-handed pitcher in the minor leagues.
He played six seasons in the farm systems of the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, Washington Senators, and Brooklyn Dodgers.
In 1941 he won 17 games and was still chasing a shot at the major leagues when the war came.
He entered the Army in January 1942 after Pearl Harbor.
Assigned as a radio operator with the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, he fought in North Africa and Sicily.
In Sicily he earned a Bronze Star for staying at an observation post under fire.
On June 6, 1944, Pinder landed with the first waves on Omaha Beach on his birthday.
Communications were shattered. His job was to get a working radio ashore.
He made it off the landing craft. They were 100 yards off the beach.
Then he was hit. A round tore into his face after only a few steps off the boat.
Pinder held the torn flesh of his face together with one hand, carried the radio with the other, and delivered the radio to his unit, while wading thru waste deep water.
That should have been enough. It wasn’t.
Weakened and bleeding, he turned around and went back into the surf and fire three more times to salvage communication equipment.
He even recovered another workable radio.
On the third trip machine gun fire hit him again, this time in the legs.
Still he kept going.
Weakening but exposed on the beach, he helped get the radios working so the men around him could call for support.
While doing so, he was hit for the third time and killed.
Medal of Honor. Posthumous.
It was presented to his father on January 26, 1945.
Pinder was initially buried in Normandy.
In 1947 his family brought him home to Grandview Cemetery in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania.
He was the only professional baseball player awarded the Medal of Honor in World War II.
John Pinder is an American Badass
Thank you, John! 🫡🇺🇸

🚨PRINCE REZA PAHLAVI JUST WENT FULL NUCLEAR ON THE ENTIRE EU PRESS & PARLIAMENT! 🔥🧨
I want to speak DIRECTLY to the people of Europe. In the past two weeks I held TWO MAJOR press conferences — one in Stockholm, one in Berlin. Over 150 JOURNALISTS showed up. We spent MORE THAN TWO HOURS with them…
And guess what?
NOT ONE SINGLE of those 150 journalists asked about the 40,000 IRANIANS SLAUGHTERED on the streets of my country on January 8th and 9th!
NOT ONE asked about the 19 political prisoners EXECUTED in the last two weeks.
When I told them 20 more are currently sentenced to death — CRICKETS. Not a damn question.
I stood right next to a grieving mother and father who lost their sons in that massacre and begged them to listen to their stories…
NOT A SINGLE ONE of those 150 journalists asked them a thing.
Let that sink in.
My 40,000 BRAVE INNOCENT COMPATRIOTS who were butchered fighting for liberty? They don’t give a damn.
They are too busy criticizing America and Israel for taking out the dictator who’s been slaughtering our people for 47 YEARS — instead of going after the regime that’s actually doing the killing!
They’d rather dig up Iran’s history than talk about what’s happening RIGHT NOW or the free democratic Iran we’re fighting for.
One EU parliament member even had the nerve to say Iranians aren’t ready for democracy. To that coward and to every fake journalist in the room I say this:
Iranians aren’t just “ready” for democracy… 40,000 of them just DIED for it! And I will NOT let their blood be in vain.
SO HEAR ME LOUD AND CLEAR:
Whether Europe stands with us or not…
Whether your journalists do their damn jobs or not…
Whether your politicians grow a spine or not…
I WILL FIGHT FOR MY PEOPLE AND MY COUNTRY.
Even if we have to do this ALONE — we are fighting until IRAN IS FREE! 🇮🇷💪
