"they're raising the most non-resilient people possibly known to man, where every single micro-aggression, every single thing that can trigger you, all those are removed, and you are just raw and vulnerable."
[AceOfSpades] ... We cannot have a functioning society if there are no shared goals based on a unified culture. That does not mean that our citizens must reject their origins. Far from it...until a few generations ago it was entirely acceptable to consider oneself an American, but with strong emotional and cultural ties to the homeland, be it Germany or Ireland or Italy or Mexico or The Philippines or Norway, etc.
But the core was American, with enough common cultural norms and ethics that we could look around and say, "Yes, we are America!"
Now of course one is gay or Latinx or a "person of color" or Ghanaian or gender-nonconforming lesbian or Filipino first, and then a pause, and then perhaps "american" with a small "A."
But many (hopefully most) Americans reject that, which is one reason why Donald Trump's aggressive populism resonated with so much of the country. Contrary to the media's protestations, his Americanism is fabulously inclusive, and the voting trends among minorities back that up.
And America seems to be rejecting the most overt attempts to force this sort of mushy-thinking nonsense on us (Disney...I'm looking at you), and there are ways to push back that are, at least in the short-term, bearing fruit. Progressive School boards across America have been rejected by parents who have had enough of pretty much everything the Left has shoved down our children's throats for years. State legislatures are creeping away from the Left's grasp, and there is a small but growing alternative to the captive media.

Well yes, that's why it was concocted in the 1st place.

A historic note of caution: "modern estimations on slave population [for Rome and environs) estimate the figure of more than 2 million by the end of the Republican period." Then it was good-bye Republic, hello Dictatorship.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] vs. 6 million from Covid in two years? ”Science!”: 1.1 million over 30 years equals 36,666.7 deaths per year total gun deaths. But according to the article that includes suicides and accidental shootings as well as homicides. Given that accident-prone people have all sorts of accidents, not just with guns, and the truly suicidal will use another method if their preferred method is not available — in Japan they like to jump off mountains and in front of trains instead of shooting themselves — only the homicide category counts.
Funny how the CDC's own statistics on fentanyl don't get the same publicity as their gun stats which would of course include the number of people killed in righteous self defense or law enforcement.
Let's see: 150 x 365 = 54750 deaths per year
so: 54750 x 30 = 1642500 deaths from fentanyl in 30 year if we keep going like we are with an unsecured border and no reprisals against Mexico or China for their roll in smuggling this poison into our country.
Bottom line: 1.6 > 1.1
So, yeah, before you get your panties all in a wad about guns, do something about the fucking border.

[Bee] MONTECITO, CA — The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced a brand-new Netflix docuseries entitled Harry and Meghan that talks about why the famous couple wishes they had more privacy.
"Our groundbreaking series, which drops on December 8, covers the trials and tribulations of constantly being in the public eye with no privacy," said Meghan to reporters. "Most people — the rustic farmhands and lowly milkmaids of America — haven't a clue how difficult it is to be as wealthy, famous, and oppressed as we are. We hope you enjoy walking through all six hour-long episodes in our shoes."
Reception of the announcement has been mixed, with reactions ranging from those asking who "Harry" is and others who are asking what the heck a "Sussex" is.
"We hope everyone will watch this new peek into our lives so we make some money, and please give us some bloody privacy," said Harry. "For goodness sake, leave us alone! This isn't fair! I can't do this anymore! PLEASE!!"
At publishing time, Netflix's hopes for strong viewership were dashed when Meghan told Oprah that white people watching the show was an act of racist voyeurism.

Someone has got to ask about Harry's residency status. He is here, making money, and yet I suspect has no green card or work visa. I'm pretty sure instead he maintains a Diplomatic Passport from the UK, which renders him immune from US law, but also should limit his commercial behavior.

I’d reckon he has some type of immigration status vs dip status. A dip passport alone does not confer immunity. He’d have to accredited and be on the rolls as an embassy or consulate.

I believe she is a USCIT, so he gets a 'free ride' correct ?
Imagine that, a member of the British Royal Family getting a.... free ride.

Yahoo says she left England before fulfilling the residency requirement for citizenship, so she is still an American citizen. And the children are American by birth.
But the National Law Review went on at length last year about Prince Harry here.
[Zeihan on Geopolitics]President Biden is getting into the holiday spirit by slapping a bow and some American Flag wrapping paper on a sweet little surprise for Europe...The Inflation Reduction Act. Inside they'll find a wide array of pro-American manufacturing programs that are less than favorable for the Europeans.
Europe has enjoyed 75 years of safe and lucrative trade thanks to the guns and butter deal we know as globalization, but the Americans have outgrown that model. They are ready to bring some of their manufacturing home, and not in a small quantity...we're talking 12 zeros here. This comes at a time when Biden needs some new footing with the organized labor faction and nothing speaks louder than money.
Europe isn't happy about the American's leveling out the playing field and WTO action has been threatened, but at the end of the day, the Biden administration is going to get its way.

Utterly disgusting assholes. Europe has been subsidizing and protecting its industries for EIGHTY YEARS, while we stood by with a stupid grin on our faces and let them fuck us.
Now, we finally decide to give them the same treatment, and suddenly they are outraged. Fuck these pieces of shit. How dare they even protest a tiny little bit. It's OK when they do it to us, but when we decide to do the same thing? Suddenly it's not OK? Make up your fucking minds, you callous fucknecks, you prolapsed assholes, you grotesque monsters, you vengeful petty tyrants. They can eat shit. All of them. They can eat a boot covered in shit.

Feel free to step in dog shit and kick 'em in the teeth, there, Spike. I'll be cheering you on. What's difficult for me to believe is that it's Biden who's doing this.

[WND] Government watchdog Judicial Watch says the U.S. Secret Service essentially is being irresponsible with its response to questions relating to an incident in which Hunter Biden apparently submitted the wrong answer on a federal form in order to buy a handgun.
Judicial Watch has been investigating that situation, since there never was any accountability for the younger Biden for his claim that he was not using drugs when he made the purchase, a status that would have disallowed his purchase.
The gun reportedly was disposed of in a garbage bin in Delaware.
When the watchdog started investigating, the Secret Service said there were a few records of the gun transaction.
#OPINION: #Daesh’s victory-starved leadership in #Syria and #Iraq has been heavily promoting its African victories in its worldwide propaganda, glorifying its African territories and encouraging extremists to migrate, writes Baria Alamuddin. https://t.co/sQTEVVKJHR
[ARABNEWS] The life expectancy of ISIS’s "caliphs" gets ever shorter. The group has been forced to acknowledge the second death of a leader in just a few months. Militants are not even particularly grieved about these losses because they know nothing about either the new or the old leaders; they simply blindly pledge cult-like loyalty to these shadowy figures.
In Iraq and Syria, ISIS’s murderous activities mercifully appear to be in terminal decline, with sharply reduced numbers of attacks confined to a dwindling number of localities — in particular, areas like Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... Nineveh and Salahuddin, where Iran-backed Hashd paramilitaries appear happy to turn a blind eye. ISIS sees these Tehran-affiliated paramilitaries as its most promising route back to preeminence, given their unceasing efforts to destabilize the Iraqi state and trigger sectarian tensions. Hezbollah and the Hashd never tire of demonizing all Sunnis as ISIS supporters, despite the group’s actual presence in Leb
