I come from a long line of the quiet and the angry. You won’t see me coming, but you’ll feel what I leave behind.

The arc of Kamala Harris’s career bends toward persistence. Every role she’s taken was about expanding what’s possible. Her next move won’t just be a return. It will be a reminder.

I respect different views, but there’s a big gap between disagreement and disinformation. If your goal isn’t to mislead on purpose, try searching outside the meme cycle. It helps.

Exactly. You want executive overreach? This is how you get it: create a fake crisis and drape it in fear. Then rewrite rules incrementally with no debate and little notice .

The American Dream isn’t just fading. We’ve consciously written rules that keep it out of reach for most—and wide open for the wealthy few.

When you’re standing up to hate and bigotry, bluntness is clarity. No room for nuance with extremists. Some attitudes are non-negotiable. 🔥 Stand strong. Love louder.

Napolitan shows Trump above 50%, suggesting moderate support. Fox shows him below 50%, with overall disapproval outweighing approval. These differences highlight how pollster approach and timing can lead to distinct snapshots of the same moment. So it’s wise to view them together for balance.

The U.S. spent two decades arming, training, and funding the Afghan National Army to fight both the Taliban and terrorist networks like al-Qaeda and ISIS. The billions in equipment were provided for that purpose, not left behind in a rush or as a gift to the Taliban. Again...you can google this.

It’s not a fact. It’s quite literally an opinion...and a lousy one at that. Iran got its own frozen money back in a deal to not build nukes. Trump tore it up, and now they’re enriching uranium again. You can google this stuff... But yeah, tell us more about how dropping bombs is the “smart” move.

Gun in hand stopped one attacker—but guns in every hand won’t stop him from getting one. Saying “more guns = safer” ignores the fact that most gun crime is domestic, not heroic.

Progressives are calling for the U.S. to stop enabling war crimes—not supporting Iran’s policy. Holding Iran to account while opposing American military escalation is not hypocrisy—it’s consistency

I have been saying this over and over to my friends: Whoever wins the AI race wins. Full stop. It won’t matter who writes the laws if someone else writes the algorithms. This isn’t about innovation anymore. It’s about control. Lead or be led. There’s no third option.

They want teachers quiet because they fear what happens when smart people speak truth outside the curriculum. You don’t owe them your silence. You owe your students an example of courage.

They played stupid games. Now they’re winning stupid prizes. No refunds, no exchanges, and definitely no tears from me. Where are the muslim leaders in Michigan that endorsed Trump last year? I'd like their opinion on Trump's plan to relocate Gaza’s Palestinians, aka ethnic cleansing 2.0.

This is not a feel‑good holiday. It is a call to remember that justice was delayed, not fulfilled. It is proof that in a nation built on stolen lives, true freedom must be fought for, year after year. Especially in a time when powerful voices try to erase it from public memory .

Musk’s salute drew backlash because it resembled a specific and historically charged gesture, done in a setting where the symbolism carried weight.
