Chaos at the End of History - Wow! Endless words beating a straw man (Fukuyama) and not one expended in the defense of individual liberty. Like Ackerman (see yesterday's links), he's busily chewing on 'purple pills' and hoping the chaos he helped foster will go away if only the MAGA people will be 'reasonable'. Sorry, no sale.

Pinker is a long-haired, East-Coast establishment intellectual fraud - with a big vocabulary, that he trots out to impress, savoring the big words.

Lakewood Church Shooter Identified as Transgender Immigrant from El Salvador

Onliest problem with the article is the continued use of the pronoun "him," when the only official record that (may have) included a genital inspection lists this murderous nutjob as FEMALE. Why is the writer pandering to a psychopath?

I'm beginning to think that a good share of the MSM writers are psychopaths and mentor the psychopaths that aren't in the media.

Instead of sending billions to Ukraine we should send a million illegal aliens to help them fight Russia. Wow! What a win/win! Continue to follow me for more awesome advice.

An interesting juxtaposition. Hamas inflates the death toll in their war and always has. They also claim women and children are the ones dying even as we see the Hamas soldiers are the ones fighting in the middle of the civilians and even killing their own civilian population if they dare to escape the war zone. But in Ukraine some estimates are that 400,000 Ukrainians have died. Could be lower but could be higher. But Ukraine (and Russia) deflate the death toll. Both of these wars are neck deep in propaganda and lies. They lie in Ukraine to keep the American dollars flowing in and they lie in "Palestine" to try to prevent Israel from eliminating the terrorists group Hamas.

And Palestinian reporters doing double duty as Hamas commanders. Found today at Pam Gellers web site.

When you're fighting a war - regardless of what side you're on - you don't generally go out of your way to help your adversary to make accurate intelligence assessments of your losses.

"Both of these wars are neck deep in propaganda and lies."

Of course they are. Propaganda and deceit are legitimate components of any wartime operation. You're aiming to defeat your enemy or at least prevent him from defeating you.

Well, I'll certainly lay awake nights thinking about that. NOT!

Abolish DIE to save the academy... the academy can not be reformed much less saved. End the student loan program. Any university student studying a productive subject will have no trouble getting a commercial loan, grants, or scholarships.

re The wealth of Hamas leaders

No surprise. Anywhere people have control/access to large sums of money they will generally figure out a way to siphon some off for themselves. The less accountability there is, the more they can get.

One wonders how rich we have made those in the Ukrainian ruling class with our "aid"?

There is something very different about how congress treats the war in Ukraine compared to previous wars. They seem too eager to allocate billions and even distressed if the billions are reduced in the slightest. My theory is that both sides are getting kickbacks from anyone and everyone who profits from this war. In addition I think the Democrats are siphoning off some of the money they allocate in these bills to their own NGO's that is then used to win/steal elections. There is laterally tens of billions of dollars in these bills without specifics about how it is to be spent. And since the modus operandi of our government over the last 20 something years is to shroud everything in secrecy we will never know where many of these billions goes. It's time for a forensic audit of our federal government.

Just like in California's HSR debacle, there's a lot of confusion as to where the money's all gone. I wouldn't be surprised at all that there's a lot of folks in DC getting kickbacks. And the screaming at a possible cut in money going out - the folks screaming the loudest are likely getting the most.

The Democrat Denver Mayor has announced that he is going to cut services at the DMV and parks and rec so that they can allocate money for illegal immigrants. I don't ever remember any mayor announcing cuts in budgets and services to aid homeless or sick and injured veterans. Or to help victims of crimes. Or even to help fight homelessness.

A Boston councilwoman is advocating that the suburbs step up and take in more illegal aliens because Boston can't handle them all. Why wouldn't her first idea be to cut the mayors budget for parties for staff people of color only?

I do not understand why mayors even choose to budget for this at all. I am sure that in every city in our country that during budget meetings that there are choices made to simply not budget any money at all for it. Why does a city set as a priority money for illegals? If I went to Denver and show up at city hall and say I am broke, homeless and hungry would they cut their budget to fund my needs?

"If I went to Denver and show up at city hall and say I am broke, homeless and hungry would they cut their budget to fund my needs?"

No. Because they've got their priorities, and it's pretty clear that the legal residents of this country aren't on that list.

I don't know if it's the need to virtue-signal or what - but it really seems like a lot of folks running this country don't like the people that put them in the job. Prioritizing illegals over citizens may get them virtue points, but it's not likely to get them re-elected in anything but the most liberal parts of the country - and even then it'll be iffy.

“Whites are psychopaths, and their behavior represents an underlying, biologically transmitted proclivity with roots deep in their evolutionary history.”

If this were true, you'd think they'd be a lot more careful about pissing us off. I'm actually hoping that there is some truth to it, and when they reach the threshold that trips our trigger, they will regret it. Big time.
