The 9/11 memorial has been vandalized.
This is the Mamdani effect.

@TuckerCarlson writing the foreword for a booking outlining the "final solution for Jews," might be the absolute most sickening thing I've heard an American media star ever say or do in my entire life. He's officially cemented himself as a Nazi.

For 300 years the Ottoman Turks were stealing Christian kids from their mothers. This was the most brutal thing humanity ever witnessed. They were waiting for women to birth, raise their kids, and then at the age of 8 were collecting them. The devsirme known as "collection of children" or "blood tax" or in Greek as "paidomazoma", was a systematic practice by the Ottoman Empire from the late 14th century until the mid-17th century, that forced the recruitment of young Christian boys, typically aged 8–18, from Balkan provinces as a form of tribute.
The Turkish envoy would appear in the villages and demand that all fathers present themselves before him with their sons. From these, he selected the best-built and strongest to become Janissaries. Initially, the Turks took children aged 6-7 years, and only one child per family. Later, however, recruitment extended to ages 8-10, and gradually the number of children per family increased, until it was possible for all male children to be taken.
Christians went so far as to marry off their boys at a young age or convert to the faith voluntarily to avoid the child levy. But even this was not always helpful, since the Turks paid little attention to such details. The child levy was perhaps the greatest wound for Christians during Turkish rule.
These boys were taken from their families, converted to Islam, and rigorously trained to serve in the empire's military, administrative, and bureaucratic roles. This created a loyal class of elite soldiers and officials who were dependent on the sultan rather than on hereditary Turkish aristocracy.
They were separated according to ability and could rise in rank based on merit. The most promising boys known as "inner boys", received elite education in Constantinople's Enderun School, covering warfare, administration, sciences, and Islamic theology.
Many became Janissaries, the empire's elite infantry corps, or rose to high positions like grand viziers, provincial governors, admirals, or financial bureaucrats.
We estimate the total number of Christian boys taken across the entire Ottoman Empire (primarily Eastern Europe aka Balkans) around 300.000 kids. From those kids at least 180.000 were Greek kids (over 300 years 1362-1648). It means more than the half of the total kids that were stolen were only Greek.
For example in 1540, a levy in the regions of Thessaly & Macedonia took 1.000 Greek boys in one season and in Chios (Greek island) 200 boys taken in 1567 alone. The peak was 5.000 kids/annual from Greece. A generational trauma, with thousands of Greek families losing sons every few years for centuries.
The system began under Sultan Murad I (1362–1389) and largely ended by 1648.
Greeks, as a major Christian population in the Ottoman Balkans, were heavily affected by the devsirme. After the fall of Constantinople in 1453, Ottoman control extended over most Greek lands, making Greek Orthodox families prime targets for recruitment.
On 28 February 1395, Archbishop Isidore Glabas of Thessaloniki denounced it in a speech as "paidomazoma" (child-gathering), describing the anguish of parents: "mothers scratching their cheeks in grief and fathers beating their breasts and the violent Islamization of children and their hard training in the use of dogs and falcons."
A 1550 Greek poem by Ioannes Axayiolis, appealed to Charles V of Germany to liberate the Christians from the Turks (for liberation from this "sorrow"). The text is found in the Codex Vaticanus Graecus of 1624.
In another account, the Roman Catholic bishop of Chios in 1646 writes to the director of the Catholic Greek Gymnasion of Rome asking the latter to accept Pavlos Omeros (lol my name literaly Pavlos Homeros too), a 12-year-old boy from Chios, to save him from the devshirme.
Once taken, boys were circumcised, renamed with Muslim names, and forbidden from contact with their families. They were raised as Muslims, effectively erasing their Greek cultural and religious identity to foster loyalty to the sultan. Historical records show Greek-origin devşirme boys rising to prominence, such as Mimar Sinan (chief architect of the Ottomans, possibly Greek) and several grand viziers like Ibrahim Edhem Pasha (from Chios).
The devshirme was the greatest wound inflicted on Hellenism during the period of Turkish tyranny. The children who were seized were considered definitively lost. In Epirus, in fact, on the first Sunday after the abduction, their parents would go to church dressed in black, where a funeral service was chanted. In this service, the names of the children were read aloud as if they were dead.
Now, I think you understand who the real ancestors of the Muslim Turks are and why they are afraid of DNA tests. Keep in mind that whole villages and cities in Anatolia were wholly Islamized, and they became Ottomans and Muslim Turks (from Christian Greeks, Armenians, etc.) in "one night." This is one of the many reasons Turkey is a paper nation, a sandcastle, a pseudo-nation without historical and genetic continuity.

Because I am for the US destroying the enemies that have consistently attacked and murdered countless Christians for almost 1500 years, including thousands and thousands of Americans, I apparently support the massacre of innocent women and children.
This is their idiotic logic.

June 6, 1944. An American paratrooper jumps into Normandy in the dark and lands on the roof of a church.
By the end of the war he had been declared dead, held a funeral he didn't attend, escaped the Nazis, and fought his way toward Berlin in a Soviet tank unit.
His name was Joseph Beyrle. He's believed to be the only American soldier to serve in both the US Army and the Red Army during World War Two.
Beyrle was from Muskegon, Michigan. He joined the 101st Airborne, the Screaming Eagles. His buddies called him Jumpin' Joe.
On D-Day night his plane was hit by flak and he jumped early. He came down on a church roof, slid off, and lost his unit in the chaos. For a few days he fought on his own, blowing up a power station and cutting German communications.
Then he was captured.
Here's where it gets strange. A German soldier ended up wearing Beyrle's uniform and dog tags. That German was killed. When the body was found, the Americans identified it as Joseph Beyrle.
The army told his parents their son was dead. His hometown held a funeral mass for him. His obituary ran in the local paper.
Meanwhile, he was very much alive, being moved from one German prison camp to another.
He escaped more than once. One time he and two other prisoners jumped off a train heading east. They thought they were heading for Russia and freedom. They got lost and ended up in Berlin, where they were caught by the Gestapo, beaten, and tortured.
In January 1945, from a camp in eastern Germany, he finally made a clean escape. He went east, toward the gunfire. Toward the Soviets.
When he found a Soviet tank unit, he walked out with his hands up, holding a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes, and shouted the only Russian he knew. American comrade.
It worked.
He asked to join them. And they said yes.
For about a month, an American paratrooper rode with Soviet tank crews as they pushed toward Germany. He used his demolition training. He fought. He was reportedly welcomed by a Soviet officer who was one of the rare women commanding a tank battalion.
Then a German dive bomber attacked. Beyrle was badly wounded.
He was evacuated to a Soviet hospital. Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov reportedly visited, heard his story, and gave him papers to get to the American embassy in Moscow.
When he showed up, the embassy didn't believe him. As far as the US was concerned, Joseph Beyrle was dead. They held him under guard until his fingerprints proved who he was.
He made it home to Michigan in April 1945.
In 1946 he got married. In the same church where they'd held his funeral.
Decades later, in 1994, he was honored at the White House by President Bill Clinton and Russian President Boris Yeltsin for serving both countries.
And the last twist. His son, Joseph Beyrle II, grew up to become the United States Ambassador to Russia.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Joseph Robert “Joe” Beyrle had two sons. The elder son, Joe Beyrle II, served during the Vietnam War, but wasn’t a US Ambassador. That was the other son, John Beyrle.

Chapter 1 of 12
Some of you, burdened by the evil that you see being propagated by the state, and the righteousness being suppressed by it, think that you possess the mental fortitude to oppose your own government by either civil disobedience or other means, yet you can’t even fight against the lust that resides in your own heart.
Now listen to me when I say this: any shame or guilt you feel about your past failures, I cast that off in the name of Jesus the Christ.
Of course you’ve failed and continue to fail despite your best efforts.
You’ve found yourself in the most violent war of the soul known to man, without any of the proper equipment or training to see you through.
“This is the saddest warfare that any poor creature can be engaged in. A soul under the power of conviction from the law is pressed to fight against sin, but he has no strength for the battle. He must fight, but he can never conquer. He is like a man who thrusts himself on the sword of the enemy on purpose to be slain. The law drives him on, and then sin beats him back. Sometimes he thinks he has foiled sin, but he has only raised a dust, so that he cannot see the sin. He stirs up his natural affections of fear, sorrow, and anguish, and this makes him believe that sin is conquered when it is not even touched. He soon must be at the battle again, and the lust which he thought to be slain is seen to be not even wounded.”
- John Owen, Mortification of Sin
I’m not going to tell you to get an accountability partner, you’ll just lie to them.
I’m not going to tell you to get internet software, you’ll just find a way around it.
I certainly won’t tell you to discipline yourself because the same snare that trapped many of the bravest warriors and wisest kings of biblical history will do the same to you.
I only want you to understand one thing.
Your salvation is in the struggle.
In the combat of the soul, in the strife of this war - you are being refined, and that is the purpose of this war that rages on within you.
You are bombarded with hyper-sexuality from every side of culture and media; it’s in your face at the gym, at the mall, on social media and at the tips of your fingers at any moment of the day.
It’s waiting for you around every corner; ambush set, ready to fire.
And yet the modern pulpit either ignores the issue entirely or is ultimately incapable of giving you proper battle plans for the most important fight of your life.
To have victory in this theatre of war means to have victory in your sexuality, in your marriage or relationship and ultimately in your emotional and psychological well-being.
Defeat means the absolute destruction of all those things and ultimately the destruction of your very soul.
Defeat in this means the failing of your marriage, the broken heart of your spouse and the insecurity and despair of your children enduring the pain of a broken home.
Your wife, your fiancé, or your girlfriend is depending on you to fight for her.
Your children need you to fight for them.
And that is how you achieve victory.
You have to love what you’re fighting for, more than the temptation.
Read that line over and over again.
You have to love your family, your wife, your kids, your purity and love the Lord your God more than you love the gratification of sinful pleasure.
In your willingness to sacrifice the temporary for the permanent, you begin to understand what you’re truly fighting for.
Yet there is still one more lesson from the scriptures we must learn if we are to fight the good fight and it’s in the despair of Judas and the redemption of Peter.
Both men rejected the Christ.
Though they walked closely with Him for years and all professed at the last supper to never betray Him, both Judas and Peter failed their Lord.
Judas betrayed him for 30 pieces of silver and Peter denied Christ before men, very explicitly on three separate occasions in single one night.
Both men felt immense remorse for what they had done; a seemingly unforgivable sin.
Judas fell into despair and killed himself, but Peter repented.
He humbled himself, repented of his ways and was restored by the Lord.
Now I need you to understand something; you will fail.
You are up against a billion dollar industry and literal demons that are eons old and who saw firsthand the creation of the earth itself.
You will absolutely fail, but here is your final key to victory.
Do not fall into despair.
Always come back home.
Do not fall into despair and become utterly defeated and sink further into your sins, because there is always forgiveness for you.
The price of everything you have done and ever will do has already been paid in full at the cross.
And you, Christian, hear now the words of Moses.
"This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.”
Your salvation is in the struggle.
You have to love what you’re fighting for, more than the temptation.
Do not fall into despair. Always come back home.
“So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.”” (Luke 15:20 NIV)
Prodigal son, your heavenly father is waiting with arms outstretched, running towards you the moment you come back to him.
Now get up, and come back home.

Today I issued an Executive Order designating “Seminole Wind” by John Anderson as the official anthem of Florida.
I have also directed the @FLSecofState to erect historic markers in the City of Apopka depicting John Anderson’s contribution to Florida’s heritage.
In addition, I have tasked @FLDEPNews to work with the @SJRWMD to designate wildlife drive and trail system within Lake Apopka North Shore as the John Anderson Wildlife Drive and Trail System.

Do not listen to polling… you never did before.
They said Hillary would win in a landslide.
She didn’t.
And definitely don’t listen to polling from betting websites… that’s just stupid.
Get out and vote Republican down the ticket, because the communists are all Democrats.

Also, who still remembers that back in February, Anthropic refused to let the Pentagon use Claude for war—and the left cheered them as heroes?
Now the same people are attacking Elon for doing the same thing, only this time people are actually dying.
The double standard clearly shows they don’t care about Ukraine; they’re just anti-America.
I think about this often. It would be a nice Christmas gift, @elonmusk.
