It is good to remember that when Republicans lose, we move on, we go to work, we do our jobs. We kiss our children, we live and move on. When Democrats lose, they riot and burn government buildings. Expect riots when the Democrat socialists fail to deliver. Even though they won.

“𝐉𝐄𝐖𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐒 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐄” 𝐈𝐒 𝐀 𝐌𝐘𝐓𝐇 — 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄’𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐂 𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐃 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 Every time Israel comes up, someone claims Jews and Christians lived happily under Islamic rule until Zionism ruined everything. Gad Saad, who grew up Jewish in Lebanon, has a better description of that “golden age”: “𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵.” Here’s what “tolerated” meant. Classical Islamic law divided the world into Dar al-Islam, the House of Islam, and Dar al-Harb, the House of War. Jews and Christians under Muslim rule became dhimmi: protected subjects who paid a special tax, the jizya, for the right to keep their faith. The rules that came with it were humiliating by design. They couldn’t build new churches or synagogues, ring church bells or carry weapons, and they had to give up their seats to Muslims. In the year 850, the caliph al-Mutawakkil ordered Jews and Christians to wear 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲-𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, more than 350 years before Europe forced Jews to wear badges. Look at what’s left: • Egypt’s Coptic Christians were once the majority. Today they’re roughly one in ten. • Iraq had well over a million Christians before 2003. Its own human rights commission estimated about 250,000 remained in 2021. • About 850,000 Jews lived in Arab countries in 1948. 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧. Saad: “𝘑𝘦𝘸𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘐𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘮 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦.” And the “genocide” charge? “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘷𝘦-𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘥.” It has. The West Bank and Gaza went from under 1 million people in 1967 to about 5.5 million today. There’s a slogan heard in parts of the Arab world: “First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.” Saad’s summary: “𝘐𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘑𝘦𝘸𝘴, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘑𝘦𝘸𝘴.” 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧.

Most people will say 6…!!! But only the sharp ones will spot the real answer. 👀🤣 👇 What’s your answer?

Marco Rubio speaks sense.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio just delivered the most brutal indictment of Third World Mass Immigration and Open Borders I've ever heard. “They tell us that we are compelled by a sacred legal obligation to give up our power, to surrender our sovereignty, to submit to the whims of our enemies, to allow our cities to descend into violent anarchy, to welcome in any foreigner from anywhere in the world who arrives at our doorstep without permission, to transform our towns into refugee camps for the entire planet.” “And beyond our borders, too, they would have us believe that we must allow our rivals to act against us with impunity, that those who flood our country with drugs and crime and death should be met with little more than the occasional and polite complaint.” “There is nothing, there is nothing in our history or the history of any other great nation that requires us to recognize the authority or legitimacy of any of these ridiculous ideas.” So good 🔥

She was a Pakistani Muslim, who had been on Haj when she was 14.
She was beautiful, brilliant and part of our family for almost 4 years. Now she is dead, she believed “the man”

By the way, the south Asian person that explained to me what alhamdulillah meant is dead. She’s been dead for four years because she got two jabs and three boosters and died of “long” Covid. She died. Vaccine likely cause.

It’s funny. I dictated Alhamdulillah to Grok and it came up to something quite unacceptable. (It said I wanted to have sex with God. I won’t recite it here. )
Right. I use Arabic to explain what Islam means. so that means I am shadow banned. Alhamdulillah. God is. ❤️

Typical example of being shadow banned.
The way you learn what Democrats want to do or would do if they were in charge is to simply look at what they accuse Republicans of doing or being. That’s what they would do. Pure projection.

The purple hair minions of X are continuing to keep me from being heard. Of course, Elon said freedom of speech is not equal to freedom of reach, but who should determine the reach? The same lame folks who moved to Austin w Elon.

They are overweight, unattractive and burdened with debt for low ROI degrees And this is the demographic “ college educated voters “ that determines the math. Angry female incels with low paying jobs and unconscionable college debt. My 39 year old autistic son says college is a scam. For lots of lemmings, it is.
Yeah, it’s obvious.

Yeah, it’s obvious.
A while ago, I started a research project with one of my graduate students (who disappeared and never completed it) exploring the morphological features associated with one's ideological beliefs. I hope to revive that project at some point. In the meantime, I genuinely believe that good-looking people who possess high mating value are much less likely to be progressive suicidally empathetic degenerates. The wood crickets commit reproductive suicide by subcontracting their frustrated lack of sexuality to the "Cause."

Bravo @SecRubio
Wow. THIS is how you defend your President. As a non-American. I am extremely jealous you guys have Marco Rubio. He always stays loyal to his country as well as his leader. Would you vote for him to be President?
30
Yup. Only stupid countries don’t respond.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Only stupid countries don’t shoot back when you’re shot at. And we’re not a stupid county. The redline is clear – if Iranian boats threaten Americans, they’re going to get blown up. 🔥🔥🔥

Be careful what you wish for. 1 Samuel 9:2.
Male R candidates need to be carefully vetted for handsomeness, facial symmetry, good gonial angles, clear skin, trim build, thick hair. Basically 99% of the GOP candidates who lost failed the most basic looksmaxxer test, even when adjusted for age. This seems silly, but I want you to remember who the customers are for the product the GOP is trying to sell. Brandon Gill won easily for a reason. Adbul did too, for a similar reason (although his manlet muscular appeal is lost on me) I'm not kidding, I think Clavicular should be consulting on America First candidate physiognomy.
