This is my politics.
It was so beautiful I cried.
I’m sorry but America did not spend 250 years turning “what’s over there?” into the most powerful civilization on earth just to finally arrive at the most consequential technological frontier in generations and decide actually we’re scared of frontiers now. We ARE the fucking frontier. We cross oceans. We build railroads across continents. We split atoms. We put men on the moon. We turn sand into computers and computers into a global nervous system.
Of COURSE AI is terrifying. The frontier is SUPPOSED to scare the shit out of you. That’s how you know you have, in fact, located the fucking frontier.
The answer is not recklessness, but it sure as fuck isn’t paralysis either. America’s comparative advantage is an unusually high national tolerance for ambitious weirdos staring at impossible things and saying “Yeah... I think I can build it.” That trait is rarer than oil, harder to manufacture than semiconductors, and responsible for a frankly preposterous amount of the modern world.
And you absolutely will not fucking regulate it out of us.

University debate: "The gorilla proves you can build strength on plants alone."
Vegan: "400 pounds of muscle. Never touched a steak or a protein shake. If leaves are enough for him, they're enough for a man in a gym."
Anthropologist: "How much does he eat?"
Vegan: "A lot. He's a big animal."
Anthropologist: "40 pounds a day. He chews for most of his waking life. Where does it go?"
Vegan: "His stomach."
Anthropologist: "His colon. More than half his gut is a fermenting vat. Bacteria break the leaves down. Into what?"
Vegan: "Nutrients. Energy."
Anthropologist: "Fatty acids. Nearly 60% of his calories arrive as fat, made in-house."
Vegan: "That can't be right. Leaves have no fat in them."
Anthropologist: "The leaves don't. The gorilla does. One of those acids is butyrate. It's named after butter."
Vegan: "Then we can do the same."
Anthropologist: "With what? Your colon's a fifth of your gut. You'd get wind and about 5% of your calories."
Vegan: "Plenty of vegan bodybuilders manage."
Anthropologist: "On pea isolate, soya isolate, creatine, B12 and a blender. None of which grows in the Congo."
Vegan: "So the gorilla isn't plant-based?"
Anthropologist: "The gorilla is a fat-burner with a brewery attached. The only one in this debate living on raw carbohydrate and willpower is you."
Moderator: "Does the proposer wish to respond?"
Vegan: "He's still vegan."
Anthropologist: "He also eats his own droppings. I'd pick your role models one habit at a time."

Hasan Piker says that single-payer healthcare is "the only solution."
Ezra Klein asks Piker what happened when Vermont tried to implement single-payer.
Piker is not familiar with it.
Klein explains that it fell apart because the hidden costs of the system suddenly become taxes.
Vermont abandoned its single-payer plan in 2014 after finding that it required an 11.5% payroll tax and income taxes as high as 9.5%.

Can't believe @CBSMornings has not booked this couple for a lengthy sit down interview

Soldiers are expected to remain completely still at all times. Breaking protocol is very difficult for them, but on rare occasions, it does happen.

A woke chemist tries to school Matt Walsh on puberty blockers, insisting the effects are “objectively” reversible.
He expects an easy win. Instead, Walsh exposes the fatal flaw in that claim, and the entire room CHEERS.
ACTIVIST: “I happen to be a chemist, so I’m a little bit familiar with this. Do you know what chemical castration is?”
MATT WALSH: “Yeah, chemical castration is using a drug that ultimately has the effect of sterilizing children.”
ACTIVIST: “What’s the drug, and what does it do?”
WALSH: “Lupron is one of the drugs.”
ACTIVIST: “Perfect. [...] basically it desensitizes your body to the production of sex hormones.
“Within a couple of weeks of going off of it, that process is reversible. Now you can argue there are a variety of other things that may or may not be irreversible—”
WALSH: “Why do that to children though?”
ACTIVIST: “No, no, no, but, but what I’m, but I’m, what I’m curious about, because you use the term chemical castration. Castration is a permanent thing. If you give someone an orchiectomy, as far as I’m aware, you can’t undo it.
“You can’t put the balls back on. [...] You give someone Lupron, an adult, a child, whomever, you take them off of it, it goes away. So I’m just—”
WALSH: “That’s not true.”
ACTIVIST: “That’s objectively factual.”
WALSH: “That’s not true. That is NOT true. Okay, that is absolutely not true.
“You cannot sit here and say, for a fact, that it’s totally fine to give Lupron to young kids, and that when they’re adults it will have no effect on them—”
ACTIVIST: “I’m not saying that.”
WALSH: “And that their fertility will come back. You cannot say that. That is not true.”
“The only way to confirm something like that would be to do that to a whole bunch of kids, and then just sit back and wait for like a decade or two to see how it works out.
“And my point is that, to begin with, performing those kinds of Frankenstein butchery medical experiments on children is wrong. PERIOD.”
[crowd cheers]
You don’t need a chemistry degree to understand that.

May I suggest you hold your Pride Night and Muslim Night on the same day next season so we can see what happens?

A Black man was caught peeing on a White couple's side door. When they confronted him to stop he charged them with a knife.
Where's the CBS interview?
Where's the doxxing campaign?
Where's the round-the-clock TV coverage?
Where's the civil rights investigation?
Where are the activists and professors calling it a hate crime?
Where's the media trying to ruin his family's business?
Where's the congressional hearing?
Where are the politicians disavowing him?
Where's the demand for a national conversation?

The Big Bus drove so Airplane! could fly.
Both are loving skewers of 70s, star-packed disaster epics. Dropping four years earlier, The Big Bus essentially wrote the playbook; same comic structure, archetypes, and deadpan delivery, setting the runway for Airplane! to perfect it.

Built by some of WWII’s most visionary minds, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) carried American resolve into the hardest places and against the most determined enemies. It embodied the determination of Americans who believed they could achieve the impossible.
Today, after 81 years, the OSS returns.
Our operators deserve a voice equal to the burden placed upon their shoulders. @ASWAndersonSOF advocated for a Secretariat for Special Operations that operates in both name and function, setting the pace, driving coordination, and ensuring SOF has the resources needed.
This redesignation strengthens SOF representation within @DeptofWar and reaffirms America’s commitment to the forces entrusted with the Nation’s most demanding missions.

Here’s this same activist last month crediting help from the CCP-tied communist group Party for Socialism and Liberation and the Green Party for helping her kill the data center her community needs.
This is literally why we can’t have nice things.
An activist just helped block a $5 BILLION data center on a Maryland mall site that's been sitting empty for over 20 years.
The activist behind it told Fox she'd rather have an indoor trampoline park, so it doesn't "just benefit the ones that can get a job at a data center."
Her county faces a severe budget deficit.

I still think a Lewis and Clark Argonath would be one of the coolest monuments in North America.
And the Snake River would be the best spot for it.

“I can’t believe a woman in Hegseth’s entourage giggled briefly at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier” shrieked the Communist weirdo who thinks America deserved 9/11 and the Constitution is invalid because it was written by white men.

In Germania vivono 39 mila giapponesi con solo 2 crimini commessi. In Italia vivono 330 mila cinesi con soli 7 crimini commessi. In Italia vivono 5,6 milioni di Musulmani con 3,7 milioni di crimini gravi commessi. Abbiamo importato criminali. Chest’é.😤

This story about a potential $5 billion economic development project being blocked by a functional midwit backed by Chinese money is the perfect metaphor for America's utterly insane society today. Incredible.
