There was once a shepherd who found a wolf caught in a snare at the edge of his pasture.
The wolf begged to be freed.
“I was hungry,” it said. “That is all. Spare me, and I will remember your mercy!”
The shepherd cut the rope.
The next night, three lambs were gone.
Again the shepherd found the wolf. Again it pleaded. Again the shepherd convinced himself that mercy was proof of his goodness.
By winter, half the flock was dead.
An old farmer finally asked him, “Why do you keep freeing it?”
The shepherd answered, “Because I refuse to become cruel.”
The farmer looked at the empty field and said, “Then understand what you have done. You were not merciful to the wolf. You were cruel to everything that trusted you to keep them safe.”
That’s the lesson.
Mercy without judgment isn’t virtue. When someone openly intends to destroy what has been entrusted to you, endless forgiveness doesn’t make you righteous. It makes everyone behind you pay for your vanity.
We all know how this ends.

Good Lord, Lula has fucked up so badly that the COMMUNIST PARTY is defending Bolsonaro
Flávio Bolsonaro está sendo perseguido porque teve quase 60 milhões de votos, disse Rui Costa Pimenta. Veja o que ele disse na Análise da 3ª:
"A perseguição não tem nada a ver com o defesa da democracia. É uma perseguição política. Por que o Flávio Bolsonaro está sendo perseguido? Porque ele teve quase 60 milhões de votos. Porque ele tem maioria, ele tem uma bancada muito expressiva no Senado e no Congresso. Ele pode conseguir o impeachment de determinados ministros do STF. Então, a perseguição é por causa disso, é um jogo de poder."

Something that @TuckerCarlson has been doing is laying the foundation for the argument that Russian war crimes can't be that bad, because you just have to look at ours, by way of comparison.
Thst is sick and it's evil.
Tucker Carlson and Matt Cubbler discuss the sadistic nature of the U.S. special forces.
Navy SEALs are encouraged to commit the most heinous acts of barbarism against civilians as it makes them far more compliant with future assigned tasks.

Ask any Japanese tuna fisherman why he trusts the United States Navy with his life, and he will tell you what happened when a boat was sinking on a jagged coral reef.
Just before Valentine's Day in February 2014, the Japanese commercial fishing vessel Daiki Maru No. 7 lost power in heavy swells and slammed onto the razor-sharp reef off Spanish Steps near U.S. Naval Base Guam.
Freezing ocean surf poured into the cracked hull while ten fishermen clung to the tilting deck.
U.S. Navy harbor patrol boats rushed to the scene, but they could not pull alongside because the fishing vessel was wedged atop shallow coral heads where breaking waves would smash any rescue boat's hull and propellers to pieces.
Without hesitation, young American sailors from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 25 launched in their MH-60S Knighthawk helicopter.
Fighting fierce crosswinds directly above the whipping steel antennas and masts of the sinking boat, the American pilots held a rock-steady hover over the churning whitewater.
One by one, they lowered their rescue cable into the spray and hoisted all ten fishermen off the reef without a single life lost, flying them straight to U.S. Naval Hospital Guam.
Then American sailors and Coast Guardsmen spent days pumping sixty-five hundred gallons of fuel from the wreck to protect the sea.
Japan will never forget the hands that lifted our fishermen from the waves.

While in Israel I was given a tour of an orthodox neighborhood where there were Palestine flags painted on the walls because the residents view the state of Israel as a secular abomination and want to see it fail.
There are layers to this.

Never in my life did I think I would witness something so abhorrent in a Western country. To see rape openly glorified as resistance is beyond sickening. If this is what some pro-Palestinian activists are promoting, I do not want anyone who advocates such barbarity in our country, regardless of who they are.

After forty years in front of the camera, I’ll be directing my first feature film, SO HELP ME GOD: a Civil War epic about a Union soldier named Albert Townsend, who should have received the Medal of Honor but didn’t.
Clerical error.
I learned of Albert through his descendants’ archival research. What I found was more than an injustice waiting to be corrected. It was a story of friendship and extraordinary courage: an unassuming young man becoming a soldier who held his ground, and his principles, under fire.
That’s a story worth telling on the largest possible scale. And we’re inviting the people who want to see it told to help bring it to the screen, as investors in the film through Republic.
We intend to do it justice: real cannons, one hundred horses, and the cast in period-accurate uniforms. We’ve brought on Mark Huffam, whose work includes Saving Private Ryan, Game of Thrones, and The Martian, to produce it. He knows what it takes to make an epic, and how much depends on the human story at its heart.
At the Medal of Honor Heritage Center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, I introduced the project alongside Civil War historian Brad Quinlin, members of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, and representatives of Civil War Roundtables. We’re also supporting the campaign for Albert’s posthumous Medal of Honor. His descendants are still fighting to see his courage properly recognized.
This picture is about friendship, love, and honor — and common people rising to accomplish extraordinary things. I want to give that story everything it deserves.
I hope you will lift the banner with us.

Should be interesting. Joe Manchin is a remnant of a previous era and came in clutch for the country a few times.

You don't get to liberty by aligning yourself with people who want to end Capitalism.

There is a wide difference between people who are libertarian because of a moral grounding desire to respect consent and property rights and those who use it as cover for a contrarian, acerbic personality.

This collapse is happening in Portland, Seattle, and other cities. These places haven't recovered from the COVID era, which gave us lockdowns, the George Floyd riots, and the de facto legalization of drug-and-crime-generating homeless encampments. A policy disaster.
Portland’s Royal Sonesta: bought for $108.3M in 2016. Now reportedly sold for $6.83M for 220 rooms—just $31,000 per key. A staggering 93.7% price collapse.
This is what happens when government fails at public safety, downtown disorder spirals, Measure 110’s consequences go unaddressed, and Multnomah County’s mental-health system fails people in crisis.
Tourism doesn’t thrive where visitors feel unsafe and downtown businesses struggle to survive.
Portland didn’t get here by accident. Policy choices have consequences—and taxpayers, workers, businesses, and property owners are paying the price.

What Socialism Is.
Socialism is not a real model to be applied in the world – it is a contradictory rhetoric used to gain power over people, by manipulating those who are easiest to manipulate.
It is anti-life, because it contradicts reality. Its contradictions stay harmless only as long as it stays on paper. Try to implement it, and they come due.
It postulates equality – and produces the most unequal societies of all: the nomenklatura in its special shops, everyone else in the queue.
It says it frees the workers – and in 1980, ten million Polish workers had to rise up against the workers' state.
It postulates abundance – and gets rid of the people who produce it. Venezuela, sitting on the largest oil reserves in the world, watched its people lose an average of eleven kilos in a single year.
It says the state will wither away – and builds the biggest state in history.
It postulates peace – and needs an enemy for every failure.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." Needs, of course, especially of the immoral, are unlimited. Ability is punished.
Someone has to resolve these contradictions. In socialism, that someone is the police, by force. When the theory says one thing and reality another, it is never the theory that gets arrested.
That is why it is anti-life. Life works by getting reality right: every living thing survives because it reads the world correctly. Socialism switches off the instruments – prices that say what is scarce, profits and losses that say what works, free speech that says what is wrong. A society that can no longer see where it is going ends up where socialist societies always end up: first the queue, then the famine and the camp.
And yet it keeps coming back. Why? Because socialism is not an economic theory that failed. It is a technique of power that works. The economics always fails. The rhetoric never does – on those easiest to manipulate, and for those who rise by manipulating them.
Socialism has never delivered what it says. It has always delivered what it is for: power.
