Responsibility drives prosperity.
In a world where government takes all responsibility off your plate, you will be starving for prosperity.

What happens when we become afraid to criticize an ideology because of who might be offended?
When criticism of Western societies, Christianity or “white people” is treated as acceptable, but criticism of other cultures or religions is dismissed as prejudice, we create a dangerous double standard.
No ideology should be above scrutiny. No belief system should be protected from criticism because of the identity of the people who hold it.
If we are serious about defending free expression, that principle has to apply consistently.
I’m so grateful to @TudorDixon for giving me the space to have these difficult conversations.

MUST WATCH: Keith Wilson came ready.
Pressed by Matt Galloway on CBC’s The Current, Wilson delivered a powerful case for Alberta sovereignty and voting Option 2.
Tough questions. Strong answers. Watch the full interview.
I honestly don't know how the US can ruin their reputation any more than how this administration is doing it now
Hegseth on Afghanistan:
I was a captain in Afghanistan, and we would go to the headquarters in Kabul, and there would be 50 flags at the headquarters.
It was a beautiful thing to see 50 different countries contributing to the NATO alliance and the ISAF mission there.
Except there were like maybe five that contributed. It was actually closer to one or two that, by the end, were actually involved in kinetic operations.
In fact, the ISAF patch, we would joke that it meant "I Saw Americans Fighting."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Over 1100 non-American soldiers from 31 US-allied countries were killed fighting in Afghanistan, approximately 1/3 of the total combat deaths.

Andrew Coyne is actively ignoring comments on his posts.
If he wasn't, he would've retracted this statement as the bank of Canada has pointed out that immigration was having an affect on costs around housing and this was pointed out several times to him on multiple posts he's made on this app.
So there is nothing wrong about the so called "path" conservatives are on.
And just like that, France will have a far right government joining Germany in the trend.

“Innovators shouldn’t innovate because some people are poor” is about the most pathetic line of thinking I could possibly imagine.

Putting a well-rounded Brazilian fighter in with a one dimensional kickboxing champ and only giving the Brazilian fighter a contract if he wins a kickboxing match is dumb. Using MMA in an MMA match is pretty smart. But sign the fat sloppy heavyweight who wont win a UFC fight.

This kind of sloppiness is inexcusable. Why would you publicly announce something as dramatic as a live-streamed execution if you weren’t absolutely sure you wanted to do it and hadn’t already thought through all of the very predicable and inevitable blowback you would get? This makes it seem like they just kind of off the cuff floated the idea of killing someone on a live stream and then changed their mind when people were upset about it. Totally ridiculous, no matter how you feel about the public execution idea. No excuse to handle it this way. You need to go into something like this very thoughtfully, with seriousness of purpose and a sense of the gravity of the situation. Instead we get a casual announcement of a public execution and then a casual retraction on social media a few days later. Absurd.

📢ALBERTA:
🗳️VOTE YES on Question 7:
✅ABOLISH THE SENATE
Taxpayers can think of 140 million problems that abolishing the unelected Senate would solve because it's costing us $140 million this year!
💰More than $1 billion past 10 years!

There were many people equating web crawlers to bot accounts on this app.
It was hilarious to watch the libtards and the Loomers make an ass of themselves over this.
Very good explainer that, alas, a lot of the claims that Ukraine dealt a huge blow to the Russian bot army were wrong or overblown. thedispatch.com/article/ukra…

The IRS sent armed agents into a family bakery and drained $68,382 from its bank account.
Their “crime”? Depositing their OWN CASH in amounts under $10,000.
Then the government demanded ANOTHER $160,000 and a guilty plea to a FELONY.
The IRS called it “structuring”: deliberately keeping deposits small to dodge bank reporting rules.
DAVID VOCATURA: “I said to them, ‘Maybe I should get a lawyer.’ And they said, ‘You don’t need one, step in the back.’”
“Until the day they came in, I had no idea what structuring was.”
“I’m a law-abiding citizen. I can’t remember the last time I got a speeding ticket.”
Nearly three years after seizing the money, a prosecutor came back with a deal that carried up to FOUR YEARS IN PRISON:
DAVID VOCATURA: “They wanted us to pay another additional $160,000 in fines and plead to a felony charge of structuring.”
They refused.
You bake bread for three generations.
You pay your taxes.
You put your own money in the bank.
And the IRS treats you like a criminal, demanding nearly a quarter million dollars.
CONTEXT: Fortunately, the IRS didn’t get away with this one. Hours after the Institute for Justice sued, the IRS agreed to return all $68,382.22. Two weeks later, it withdrew a grand jury subpoena demanding eight years of the bakery’s business records. Crazy that they tried to ruin a business over depositing money into their own bank account.

What do these products have in common? One company could soon control them all.
I have concerns that McCormick and Unilever's $45 billion merger could increase YOUR grocery prices.

I wonder if @angertab @JoelWBerry @marklevinshow @DanCrenshawTX or any of the other hacks who knowingly shared this pure bullshit will show an ounce of integrity and admit it.
The post about Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centers causing Tucker Carlson’s views to drop is fake news.
It ignores October 7 when Tucker had two posts over 2 million views, and leans on one or two viral posts in the "before" week.
Tucker's average views fall only 10%, not 71%. The post skipped Oct 7, which was his best day of the whole stretch.
Macgregor's 62% drop comes almost entirely from one viral post on Oct 5, and his typical post barely moved (the median is down 7%).
TCN does show a real dip of about 27%, but that's from only 8 posts, and its views were already sliding before Oct 7. Nothing in the data ties any of it to the strikes. Both full-data charts are below.
Mark Levin and Laura Loomer are so retarded and/or Boomer brained they don't know that there are legitimate bots that go and crawl the web for information. Yandex, like Google, has bots that crawl websites to help index and rank them for their search engine among other tools.
These were not Russian troll bots. They were web crawlers you fucking tools.
Not only that but they can't even read graphs where the blue graphs include more days and excluded October 7 entirely.
There are levels to retardation you couldn't achieve if you tried and Laura Loomer does it naturally.

I was mid-hip thrust when I found out @Shanemgillis had called me a whore. Technically I found out four hours later, when I reviewed the footage of Saturday Night Live. My tripod was on the bench, my ring light was clamped to the squat rack and my boyfriend Tanner was holding the back-up phone for the side angle. Tanner films all my content. He is not allowed to look at me.
The “joke” was about how women dress at the gym. I know it was about me, because everything is. So I did what any survivor would do. I went to my car and filmed myself crying. It took 11 takes, because the lighting in a Range Rover is unforgiving, and grief is no excuse for a bad shot. In the final cut, you can see a single tear land on my sports bra right over the logo, which clicks through to an affiliate link. My caption: “I’m literally shaking.”
Then I put on the shortest shorts I own, went back inside, and filmed my ass from three angles with the caption, “Does this outfit work for you, Shane Gillis?” I wanted to send him a message that my body is not for men. To make sure Shane got the message, I tagged him. Then I tagged every man I follow. Some people say my response proved his point. These people are rapists.
