Ambassador Huckabee, this is unreleased video of an American who was beaten almost to death last week by Israeli settlers. You know his name because he came to you for help, but you blew him off. That’s disgraceful. Do your job.

SCOOP: Multiple teachers at Pearson Ranch Middle School (@RoundRockISD) reportedly posted a picture of themselves wearing T-shirts PROMOTING Democrat James Talarico INSIDE the school.
Isn’t it against the law for teachers to promote political candidates inside public schools?
We reached out to the school for comment, but they did not respond.

非洲真的很缺水吗？其实“懒”才是他们穷的根本原因。有数据显示，非洲地下水储量是地表的100倍，为何他们不挖井，而是到处找水？
我之前跟着一支海外工程队在那边待了快八个月，亲眼见过太多让人匪夷所思的事，说出来真的好多人都不敢信。我们当时的营地建在一片开阔的草地上，刚过去的时候要解决用水问题，队里找了个测水的师傅随便找了个地方打井，打到不到十二米就出了清水，水质甜得很，除了供我们队四十多个人吃喝洗澡，还能引出一垄水浇我们开出来的小菜园，天天浇水都用不完。
而离我们营地不到两公里的地方，就有一个百十来口人的部落村子，我第一次跟着采购去村里的时候，就看见全村人都围着一个半米深的泥坑接水，那水浑得放半小时都澄清不了，水面上还飘着虫子和牲畜的粪便，小孩渴了蹲下来直接舀了就喝，大人也不管，不少小孩隔三差五就拉肚子，缺药耽误着能拖出大病，看着真的让人心疼。我当时就问翻译，咱们这边打井出了这么多水，他们咋不来打一口？翻译笑笑说，你往后看就知道了，不是水的事。
没过多久工程闲下来，队长说反正咱们设备人都有，不如免费帮他们打一口井，也算做件好事，结果第一步就卡壳了。村长带着一群人堵在我们选好的井址，说这块地是他们部落的公用土地，要打井就得给他们十袋面粉五桶食用油外加两箱汽水，不然别想动土。我们队里想着反正也不多，给就给了，就当换一口井给村里人用，这点东西对我们来说不算什么。
接下来要找几个当地人帮忙打下手搬东西，我们说好一天给一斤玉米面两瓶汽水，这个待遇在当地已经够一个三口之家吃饱喝足了，比他们自己瞎晃赚得多太多，结果来了五个人，干了不到四十分钟，全都撂挑子坐到树底下乘凉去了，说太阳太晒，会晒伤皮肤，祖宗规矩就是正午不能干活，要等太阳落山再干活。我们想着入乡随俗那就等，结果太阳落山之后，连个人影都没见着，第二天上午好不容易来了三个，还要求必须先给汽水玉米面，不给就不动手，我们给了之后，三个人晃悠着挖了不到半米，又坐下来歇着聊天了，一聊就是一上午，第三天干脆全都不来了，托人带话来说拿到的吃的够喝够吃好几天，先回家休息，吃完了再来。
最后没办法，我们工程队自己上手，不到十天就打出了一口出水稳定的井，还给他们在井口安了简易的提水架，放了两个大木桶，跟村长说以后大家随便来打水，只要别往井里扔垃圾就行。一开始村里人可开心了，天天排着队来打水，结果半个月不到，井口就堵了，我们过去一看，大大小小的树枝石头烂叶子堵了小半井，原来大家打完水垃圾随手就扔在井口边上，下雨一冲全进去了。我们免费帮他们清干净，反复跟村长和村民说不要扔垃圾，要保持井口干净，结果不到两个月，又堵了，之后村长干脆来找我们，说井坏了，你们再帮我们打一口新的吧，那语气说得理所当然，好像我们就该天天给他们收拾烂摊子。
我之前还碰到过一次，营地的围墙坏了一段，找了四个当地工人来修，说好一天干完给对应的工钱，结果四个工人八点开工，九点就歇着喝茶，十点吃早饭，十二点要睡午觉，睡到下午三点才起来，干了不到一小时又说要回家喂孩子，一天下来只码了不到五块砖，第二天还过来要全额工钱，说我们没给他们提供茶和饼，所以干得慢，钱不能少给，当时给我们队长气得直接把他们赶走了。
待得久了我才发现，这种事真的不是个例。有个二十多岁的小伙子天天来我们营地卖野果，我们看他挺活络，就说你干脆天天给我们营地送菜，我们一个月给你固定的工钱，比你卖野果稳定多了，结果他干了三天，第四天就不见了，过了一周晃悠过来，问他为啥不来，他说前三天赚的钱够花了，在家歇着花完了再来。还有国际援助组织免费给他们发蔬菜种子，教他们开荒种地，说种好了够全村吃大半年，结果一半种子被他们煮着吃了，剩下的随便往地里一撒，既不浇水也不除草，长不出来就接着等着发援助。
真的，很多人说非洲穷是因为气候不好历史遗留问题，可我们明明看到脚底下十几米就是清水，储量够整个村子用几十年，有人免费帮你打出来，就只要随手维护一下都做不到。他们不是没有力气，跑出去找野果跳篝火舞能折腾一整天，一说到干活赚饭吃，半小时就喊累；也不是没有资源，地下水摆在那，援助摆在那，就是不肯伸手去动。
我待了八个月见过好多口废弃的援助井，全都是打完没两年没人维护废了，当地人宁愿背着水桶走三四公里去接脏雨水，也不肯花半天时间清一清堵了的井口。你说这到底是延续了几千年的靠天吃饭的生活方式已经刻进骨子里改不了，还是真的就是“懒”才导致一直摆脱不了穷呢？你怎么看这件事？

🚨 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Ohio mental hospital CONFIRMS James Talarico was discharged from the facility earlier this week
The “flu” thing was a BIG FAT LIE
Following reporting by @SaraGonzalesTX and @CarolineWren, a hospital employee told @RheinAmacher and I that Talarico had in fact been a patient at the Lindner Center of Hope near Cincinnati, Ohio, which specializes in around-the-clock mental health treatment.
While I sympathize with those dealing with mental health crises, this man is CLEARLY not suited to become a US Senator representing over 30 MILLION TEXANS.
The job doesn’t get easier after being elected — it only gets MORE stressful.
And Talarico clearly can’t handle it.
I pray he gets the help he needs, but Texans need a real representative they can rely on.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Lindner Healing Center has refuted this
They have made a statement that James Talarico has never received treatment at Lindner Healing Center x.com/lindnerctrhope…

Fun Fact: No Christian was foolish enough to call Jesus "Yeshua" until a Judaizing Hebraist named Franz Delitzsch, of Jewish descent, called him that in 1879 as a supposed evangelism strategy to Jews.
Jesus' name is Greek. The angel gave it in Matthew 1:21. Matthew quotes the original language when the word matters, and no word matters more than Jesus' name. And yet, Matthew says His name is Ἰησοῦς.
Not Yeshua.
This is why He's called Ἰησοῦς more than 90 times in the New Testament, and called "Yeshua" exactly zero times. Claiming that it does so because the New Testament is written in Greek does not work - the New Testament preserves Hebrew names most of the time, and when it doesn't, it always explains the original: "Tabitha, that is Dorcas" and "Thomas, called Didymus."
There is no "Jesus, that is, Yeshua." It's just Jesus.
Like half of His disciples, Jesus' name was Greek. The Lexicon of Jewish Names of Antiquity records the names given to Jewish babies in that era, and Jewish parents gave their kids Greek names.
Why? It was Greco-Roman Culture. The Bible of Jesus, the Apostles, and First-century Jews was the Greek Septuagint (LXX). Every New Testament citation from Jesus quotes the LXX. He preferred it, obviously.
Hebrew was dead as a common tongue for hundreds of years. By this point, the Jews had been acclimated to Greek culture for three generations. How many of you are naming your kids in Latin? Few. Because it's dead.
You might have even heard that "Jesus is Greek for Yeshua." No, it isn't. You've been lied to.
First, that implies His name was originally Hebrew, which as you can see above, is incorrect. Second, determining which Hebrew name Ἰησοῦς should translate to is guesswork.
They might as well have pulled Yeshua out of a hat, because aside from Joshua (Yeshua) and Jeshu, Jesus is also translated as Yishwi, Abishua, and Yishwah. If their theory IS correct and Jesus' name is Aramaic or Hebrew, we would have NO IDEA which semitic form it was in, because the Bible doesn't tell us and neither does any written historical record.
So when Delitzsch called Him "Yeshua" in 1879, he might as well have called Him Yishwah. It's all poppycock.
And while the Jews did speak Aramaic (despite reading and speaking Greek), assuming Mary gave Jesus an Aramaic name because they're ethnic Hebrews is like assuming a family whose ancestors are from Mexico that has lived and multiplied inside America for a century must name their kid Juan instead of John. The logic does not follow.
It's called "assimilation" and the God-Man who preferred "the Son of Man" over "King of the Jews" was more than satisfied with a Greek name. And God the Father chose it.
Why was Jesus given a Greek name? Gentiles were THE ENTIRE POINT of Jesus coming. God saving Gentiles, not Jews, was the BIG REVEAL of Scripture.
Ephesians 3:4-6 says, “Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel.”
So while God did plan to save some Jews, their salvation was not the mystery of God gloriously revealed in the gospel. Rather, it was that Gentiles would become heirs of Christ and partakers in Abraham's promise.
Jesus would come to be known as the Savior of the Gentiles. It's only fitting that Jesus should have a Gentile name. After all, Christ is OUR King.

What the Cornell case reveals more than anything to me as a neutral gay guy observer of the gender wars is that now more than ever young women are moving like faggots. Like Diva what do you mean you STARTED the night consenting to a Ketamine fueled threesome? I’m sorry but if you put yourself in a situation like that you can’t be surprised when you end up in a gray area vis-a-vis consent —- everyone there that night was fucked up. Had this exact scenario happened to a gay guy —- and stuff like this does all the time —- nobody would have considered it rape. When I was in my early 20s, partying all the time and waking up next to some dude I barely remember even meeting I didn’t consider it rape in part because I put myself in that situation and in part because he probably didn’t know who the hell I was either. I understand why women feel differently because men are more physically powerful than them, can be dangerous etc. But we can’t have this double standard wherein an intoxicated woman cant consent to sex but an equally intoxicated man is 100% fully culpable for his actions. If women want to have wild crazy casual sex then fine but I think society, and especially their gay friends, should be brutally honest with them about what these kind of situations look like in practice because they are obviously far too naive and sheltered when it comes to this type of stuff/male sexuality etc. Nobody’s getting treated like a lady at the k-fueled orgy and when you’re 4 hours in saying something like “yeah sure you can do lines off my naked body” you should know that WILL register as implied consent to a drunk frat boy because in the (intoxicated and horny) male mind if you’re down for some kinky shit like that with him then why would regular sex be off the table unless you very explicitly say otherwise? Also, if you’re gonna put yourself in these situations —- you need to be prepared for what to do when things get off the rails. You cannot rely on drunk guy you just hooked up to take care of you. Trust no one. Put your foot down. Call an uber. Share location with a friend before you go, get them to check in at a designated time, etc etc. Gay guys do this kind of stuff when they know they might be heading into a sketchy sexual situation and not to be a dick—- but women should too if they wanna start their nights moving like weho circuit queen. We need to be real with them about this kind of stuff for their own good.
A senior at Harvard observes “a narrative emerging among young people that more than just consent is required to make a sex act ethical.”
“In the Cornell Daily Sun, a student says fraternities function as ‘a market, where women are seen as commodities.’”
“A Dartmouth contributor lambasts frat culture where brothers ‘humiliate and degrade’ and that teaches ‘men to treat women and each other like subhuman objects.’”
“The emerging picture is of a sexual ethic that cannot be satisfied simply by one liberal-autonomous agent assenting to the action of another. The new ethic requires upholding the dignity and respect of the human being involved. Respecting women is incompatible with drug-fueled orgies where the ‘shop’ is ‘open,’ regardless of how consensual said orgy may or may not be.”

Tired of this excuse. First of all, social security is not something you “pay into.” If it were, you wouldn’t need younger people to “pay into it” in order to get your check. But you do. Because this is a Ponzi scheme, not a retirement account. What you really mean to say is that your money was stolen from you — which it was — and now you want to steal from younger people to get restitution. That’s the actual case you’re making and it’s exactly as morally deranged as it sounds.
Second, your generation continually for decades voted for politicians who would keep the scheme going. You might not have invented social security, but you damn sure made certain it kept going. Why should younger people have to pay the price for the shitty policies you supported?
Third, you “paid into” social security in a different time. The country is now bankrupted and 40 trillion dollars in debt, and basic things like housing are prohibitively expensive. It wasn’t like that when you were young, because your generation of leadership created this problem.
So the theme here is that there are a bunch of problems you guys either created or contributed to. You can choose to pay the price for that now, or force your grandchildren to pay the price so you can live comfortably until you die and leave them holding the bag. You’ve chosen the latter, and I think that’s wrong. Simple as that.

There are a lot of great Boomers out there. But they didn't build this country into a superpower. They brought us the sexual revolution and the divorce epidemic and mass migration, and plunged the country into trillions of dollars of debt in the process. They will leave the country much poorer and less stable than it was when they inherited it. That's just a fact.

It's not about the money.
Money has an effect, yes, but it's a part of something bigger.
Women are genetically programmed to mate up. Not down. And not even across. Up. If she doesn't regard a man as superior to her, she generally doesn't want to have his babies.
What this means is that there is an extremely simple control dial on fertility.
More male power and status = more babies.
More female power and status = less babies.
Yes, it really is that simple.
Why? Because every species has a mating ritual, and can only breed if they can carry it out. That's why you can breed rats and chickens in cages, but not pandas. Different mating ritual.
And a critical element of the human mating ritual is "male impresses female".
Not charms. Not bribes. Definitely not respects.
Impresses.
So, if you take power, wealth, and status away from men, and give it to women, you are just plain reaching for the controls and turning down the fertility dial.
If you let men keep power, wealth and status — you don't have to give it to them because they're the ones who create it — fertility goes up.
The fertility crisis is really the equality crisis.
This idea might horrify you. You might have been taught all your life that everyone is equal, or must be, and anything else is unfair.
Well, have you looked around you at universe? Unfairness is baked into the life cycle of every living organism, not mention the food chain. Evolutionary processes don't care about fairness. They care what works.
Perhaps someday, we will be able to code DNA as easily as we code C++, and can decide what we want our instincts to be. But until that day, we are faced with a choice.
1. Stop using the political, legal, and mass media processes to force female equality, if not outright female supremacy, on the first world.
Or
2. Die out and be replaced by third world retards, who will stay on this planet fighting wars with increasingly rusty AK47s and then spears, until the next asteroid comes along.

Jesus is not a fake god. He is a historical figure with strong contemporary attestation, claimed divinity through resurrection accounts that launched the world's largest religion, and stands apart from the purely mythological figures in that image.
