As explained by Helen Mirren on FB. the strongest thing you can do is walk away—not because you have nothing to say, but because you recognize that some people aren’t ready to listen. LIARS are never ready to listen. They are just here to beat you over the head with their NONSENSE and INSULTS. That is why I have 4 on ignore now.7 points

https://www.dailywire.com/news/kevin-oleary-blasts-bozo-tim-walz-for-cheering-tesla-stock-drop-beyond-stupidTime “There’s this thing on my phone, I know some of you know this, on the iPhone. They’ve got that little stock app,” Walz said at an event Tuesday evening in a clip he posted on X. “I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day,” Walz said as the crowd erupted in laughter. “225 and dropping!” he exclaimed. One little problem with that. Walz, the former vice presidential candidate, neglected to mention that as recently as last summer, Minnesota had 1.6 million shares of Tesla in its retirement fund and 211,000 shares of Tesla in its non-retirement fund. During a debate, Tampon Tim actually called himself a knucklehead. He was right.6 points

Borrowing from the playbook of yet another successful dictator, Trump is attempting to purge history, art and science of ideas he doesn't like. We've seen it at NIH, we've seen it at the Kennedy center, and now it's coming for the Smithsonian. Politico (and everywhere else) Vice President JD Vance has a new job: erasing what the White House considers “improper ideology” from the Smithsonian, a task that allows him to cast aside the progressive ideas he has decried since long before he was elected to public office. The vice president, who sits on the museum network’s board, has been tasked with slashing funding for exhibits or programs that promote “ideologies inconsistent with Federal law and policy,” including those that recognize trans people, “degrade shared American values,” or “divide Americans based on race,” according to an executive order President Donald Trump signed behind closed doors on Thursday. I have no doubt that this aggressive, ham-handed attempt to use political office to dictate culture will be celebrated by so-called conservatives (who clearly aren't), but it should be recognized for the sinister, cynical scheme that it is.5 points

The Trump Tariffs, to be announced today after stock markets close will be the undeniable display of Trump’s sheer incompetence and dishonesty as well as the inability of any of the few sane adults in the room to point out that the Mad King has no clothes. By Trump’s own (totally made up) numbers, the tariffs will impose a $6 trillion sales tax on the American people, the largest tax increase in American history by far. The half-hearted and explanations Trump apologists have barely even attempted to offer range from forehead-slapping stupidity (“tariffs actually a tax cut”) to outright shameless (tariffs are paid by the export country, Canadian fentanyl, misrepresentation of various alleged trade grievances etc). Their attempts at explanation have been weak because they know they don’t have to explain themselves to their mindless unquestioning supporters and they couldn’t come up with anything remotely plausible if they tried. American prices will increase. American jobs will be lost. The Stock market will continue to tank. All because of the stunning stupidity of one man and the shameless sycophancy of his administration officials. Remember Trump said everything would get better on DAY ONE of his administration not that he was going to destroy the economy then build back better from the ruins. For the American Trump supporters out there, as you watch your country spiral into a completely self-inflicted economic crisis caused by ONE MAN ALONE, just remember: elections have consequences.5 points

Let's be clear about 1 thing: Trump's hostility towards Canada isn't a "conservative" or "Republican" phenomenon, it's an American phenomenon. The Dems and their sycophant media outlets don't give a sh1t about Canada. Who in the US is at all displeased with this "take over Canada" rhetoric? Most leftists probably don't know this, because CNN and CBC never said it, but we've had conservative leaders on both sides of the border going back generations, and this was never even on the radar when Reagan was president, Bush Sr, Dubya, Mulroney, Harper, etc. It wasn't even bandied about during Trump's first term... And despite Trump's awful rhetoric, I still haven't met any Canadian conservatives who hate Trump more than Trudeau. While it's nice to see Liberals suddenly caring about Canada, the Libs' denigration of Canadian culture over the past ten years is what made Canada look easy to take over in the first place: If a group of people no longer shares any pride in their collective identity, what's to stop them from just assimilating into a larger group? The liberals and their government were proclaiming to the world that Canada is a "post-national state", and constantly saying that being Canadian was something to be ashamed of. They even tried to make the case that we were genocidal child molesters ffs. According to leftard lore, even muslims are more tolerant towards women, gays and other religions than Canadians are. Islam is "the religion of peace!" 😂 Why would Canadians with any concern for this country at all suddenly start believing that Liberals were the ones to represent Canada now? I don't trust the LPOC any further than I can throw them all. If it came right down to it, I'd rather become an American and adopt their national identity than adopt Trudeau's vision of Canada. Hell, I'd go to war against Trudeau's Canada, in a heartbeat. If we were as bad as he made us out to be, I'd definitely sign up to fight us. And honestly, who woulda thought that Trump could make leftists hate electric cars and make Canadian liberals like Canada? He even has LIBERALS talking about the dire need for new fighter planes, protecting our northern territory, etc... Is this all some kind of joke?5 points

The Natural Basis of Global Climate Change Global climate change, often framed as a modern crisis driven by human activity, is fundamentally a natural process that has shaped Earth’s environment for billions of years. While contemporary discussions emphasize anthropogenic contributions like carbon dioxide emissions, a broader examination of geological and climatic history reveals that climate variability is an inherent feature of the planet’s systems. This paper argues that global climate change is primarily a natural phenomenon, supported by evidence of past climate shifts, natural drivers like solar activity and volcanic eruptions, and the Earth’s long-term climatic cycles. First, Earth’s climate has undergone dramatic changes long before human industrialization. The geological record shows periods like the Ice Ages, with the Last Glacial Maximum around 26,000 to 19,000 years ago, when vast ice sheets covered North America and Eurasia. Conversely, the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), approximately 56 million years ago, saw global temperatures spike by 5-8°C due to natural greenhouse gas releases, likely from volcanic activity or methane clathrate destabilization. These events, driven by natural processes such as orbital variations (Milankovitch cycles), tectonic shifts, and oceanic circulation changes, demonstrate that significant climate change predates human influence and operates on scales far exceeding modern records. Second, natural drivers continue to play a critical role in climate variability. Solar irradiance, though relatively stable, fluctuates in cycles (e.g., the 11-year sunspot cycle), influencing Earth’s energy balance. Historical correlations, like the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715)—a period of low solar activity coinciding with the Little Ice Age—suggest solar forcing impacts climate. Volcanic eruptions also exert short-term but potent effects, injecting aerosols into the stratosphere that reflect sunlight and cool the planet, as seen with Mount Pinatubo in 1991. These factors operate independently of human activity, underscoring nature’s capacity to alter climate. Third, the Earth’s climate is governed by long-term cycles that dwarf human timescales. Milankovitch cycles, involving changes in orbital eccentricity, axial tilt, and precession, drive glacial and interglacial periods over tens of thousands of years. The current interglacial period, the Holocene, began roughly 11,700 years ago and follows a natural warming trend after the last Ice Age. While human emissions may amplify warming, the underlying shift from cooler to warmer conditions aligns with these pre-existing cycles, suggesting that the trajectory of change is not wholly artificial. Critics argue that current warming rates and CO2 levels are unprecedented, pointing to industrial emissions as the primary cause. However, this view often overlooks natural analogs. For instance, during the PETM, CO2 concentrations rose rapidly (albeit over thousands of years), driven by natural carbon cycle feedbacks. Today’s accelerated pace may reflect human influence, but the mechanisms—CO2 as a greenhouse gas, atmospheric dynamics—remain natural processes. Moreover, proxy data (e.g., ice cores, sediment records) indicate that abrupt climate shifts have occurred before, challenging the notion that speed alone proves artificial causation. In conclusion, global climate change is a natural phenomenon rooted in Earth’s dynamic systems. Historical climate shifts, ongoing natural drivers, and long-term cycles demonstrate that variability is intrinsic to the planet. While human activity may modulate these processes, it does not negate their fundamental natural origin. Recognizing this context reframes climate change as a continuation of Earth’s history, rather than an anomaly requiring solely human-centric explanations.5 points

https://www.foxnews.com/us/domestic-terrorism-hits-tesla-drivers-dealers-former-fbi-field-boss-warns-could-get-worse Suspected Tesla arsonists hit with federal charges in acts of 'domestic terrorism': AG Three individuals were charged in federal cases after they used Molotov cocktails to violently attack Tesla properties around the country in acts of "domestic terrorism," Attorney General Pamela Bondi announced Thursday. "The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended," Bondi said. "Let this be a warning: if you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars." All three face charges carrying a minimum penalty of five years and up to 20 years in prison, the department said. Adam Matthew Lansky, 41, on Jan. 20, threw approximately eight Molotov cocktails at a Tesla dealership located in Salem, Oregon, federal prosecutors said. One vehicle was completely destroyed, and several others were damaged. Lansky also threw a "large heavy object through the dealership window," they said. At the time of the attack, he was armed with a suppressed AR-15 rifle. Lucy Grace Nelson, also known as Justin Thomas Nelson, 42, was arrested in Loveland, Colorado, on Jan. 29 after attempting to light Teslas on fire with Molotov cocktails, prosecutors said. Nelson was later found in possession of materials used to produce additional incendiary weapons, including a container of gasoline, bottles, and wick materials, on Feb. 24, prosecutors said. This is no different from this. It's called DOMESTIC TERRORISM.5 points

The article argues that the Freedom Convoy was not an insurrection but a legitimate protest against government overreach. It refutes claims that the convoy was violent, extremist, or attempted to overthrow the government, highlighting inconsistencies in media and political narratives. The author criticizes the use of emergency powers, freezing of bank accounts, and the treatment of convoy leaders like Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, calling it an authoritarian overreach. The piece also challenges accusations of foreign funding, Nazi affiliations, and business disruptions, citing legal rulings and intelligence reports that found no security threats. Ultimately, the article warns that labeling protests as insurrections sets a dangerous precedent for democracy. Read the article here: https://substack.com/home/post/p-1586304515 points

LMAO the numbers are the same everywhere loser. You don’t know shit in real time or delayed time So can you link me to where Trump promised he would destroy the stock market and economy for half his presidency before it got better because I can only find clips of him saying the markets and economy would take off ON DAY ONE and where he said the economic success Americas experienced in 2024 under BIDEN was because markets knew he was going to win the election and the Trump economy had already started.

This will be a confusing time for the Republican base, who don't seem to know anything of politics aside from the price of eggs and gas. They don't know or care about the unprecedented attacks on civil liberties, private business, the environment, education, human rights etc., but they are all consumers. We are 3.5 months into this unmitigated disaster, but most of them aren't aware. They will notice this though.4 points

If you come from a major position in the private sector you’re likely to have some potential conflicts of interest, not bizarre Trumpy ones where you’re clearly trying to rip the whole country off but as a natural consequence of your previous work. If we want such people in politics we need to give them some leeway on this. Somebody even mentioned the use of tax havens. To this I would say, if something is legal and you don’t like it, campaign to get the law changed.4 points

In a coordinated effort by the U.S. Marshal Service (USMS) Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force (SERFTF), USMS Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Chicago Police Department, a high-ranking member of the Venezuelan street gang Tren De Aragua (TDA) was arrested yesterday in Cobb County, Georgia. Ricardo Gonzales, 32, had an arrest warrant from the Chicago Police Department for kidnapping and is wanted on probable cause for two counts of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. These charges stem from an incident on January 28 where Gonzalez is accused of kidnapping three female victims and taking them to an alley in Chicago where they were all shot in the head. Two were pronounced dead on the scene and the surviving victim was able to escape and call 911. And the left will tell you that they are stealing you SSN and destroying government while the government is actually doing it's job far more effectively than any time in my life.4 points

The vast majority of those things weren't actually him saying the same thing as what trump was saying.

This is no different than the democrat strategy of constantly calling Trump Hitler, or when they tried to pass off shear as a white supremacist or O'Toole as anti-vax and pro-covid, all your side does is lie about the other guy and hope that they can scare people into silence for a short enough time to win an election4 points

Guardian Senior members of Donald Trump’s cabinet have been involved in a serious security breach while discussing secret military plans for recent US attacks on the Houthi armed group in Yemen. In an extraordinary blunder, key figures in the Trump administration – including the vice-president, JD Vance, the defence secretary Pete Hegseth, the secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard – used the commercial chat app Signal to convene and discuss plans – while also including a prominent journalist in the group. Signal is not approved by the US government for sharing sensitive information. Buttery males!!🤣3 points

Trumps have discovered social engineering. Openness and acceptance of LGBTQ is regarded by them as social engineering, not a common value. Did liberals make a mistake on that one ? Objectively, how much does the government get to decide what is a 'common value' ? Or, furthermore, to interpret recognized value-words like 'Freedom' ? Freedom seems to mean you can buy a message and broadcast it whether or not it is true. Nobody would argue that. But it doesn't mean freedom of equal access to education or health. Postmodern Republicanism truly is a wonder to behold. It will lead back to a kind of 19th century pastoralism, I suspect. Maybe with a monarchy though.3 points

You know that famous quote of Wayne Gretzky? Don't focus on where the puck has been, but where it is going? So, where is Trump going? Clearly, he is not Hitler. Hitler is Hitler and Trump is Trump. But there are definite parallels in how they attained power, which we ignore at our peril. A society is built on stories. Some stories (like the US Constitution) are originated for the good. Other stories, like the stories perpetuated by the leaders of Nazi Germany, Stalinism, and Trumpism, are for the bad. They are false and harmful stories that lead to mass delusion, in a climate of hatred and fear. Trumpism, Nazism, Stalinism - all held together with deluded ideas founded on lies and cruelty3 points
