"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Palmer Luckey says analysts claiming it's too expensive to manufacture in the US are lying to protect megacorps
"I think I have a more realistic view than almost anybody. One of the problems with all these analysts that are telling you that it's going to cost $37,000 to build an American iPhone or $100,000 to buy an American computer."
"They're trying to prop up a status quo that the megacorporations want to keep going. They want to outsource everything. They want to hire cheaper non-American labor."
"They are willing to say and do anything to convince you that it can't be fixed, that it can't come back, that America is this helpless, neutered, post-relevant empire, and it is just not the case."
"How do I know that? Because I have to make stuff in America every day because I work in the defense industry. The stuff that Anduril makes every day is not actually that different from a computer. My drones are basically computers. They have memory, a GPU, a CPU, sensors, batteries, a rugged integration."
"The only difference between an Anduril attack drone and a laptop is a keyboard and a screen. That is not that hard to figure out, especially for a guy like me who started Oculus and comes from the consumer electronics space."
"We're not going to let people lie about what America can and can't do anymore. We're just going to do it."

Lula locked the father up.
Then he went after the son’s passport so he could finish the job.
Flávio Bolsonaro didn’t stick around.
He got out of Brazil and made it to Miami.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Trump admin helped make sure he and his family got visas. 💪🤠
Socialists always want the opposition in a cage.
They cheat elections, change the rules, then call it democracy.
What happens if we elect the same socialists here?
This one needs to be shared with people who still think socialism works.

What the Democrats are willing to do with power is terrifying.
We saw it during Covid, when parents were investigated under the Patriot Act for showing up to schools board meetings and Catholics were spied upon for going to traditional Latin mass. If you bought a MAGA hat you went on a list. Now, Democrats are calling for Show Trials.
When you go to the polls next week—remember Democrats want complete control with no room for dissent.

Ilhan Omar is mass-deleting old posts that could prove she committed immigration fraud.
She purged a 2019 “Happy Father’s Day” post to “Nur Said” and an older post from her brother, Ahmed Nur Said, called her children his “nieces” and referred to the same man as “my father.”
If she has nothing to hide, why is she deleting everything?
It’s about to get bad for Ilhan.

How many Americans actually just straight-up starve to death?
In the latest data, from 2024, there were 22 cases.
And not even one of them was about poverty making it unaffordable to obtain food.
How many Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck? How many are starving?
The answer to both questions is--despite what you might have heard from the news media--not many.

Ilhan Omar’s father was NEVER naturalized.
He LIED.
This means that Ilhan Omar never naturalized through her father.
She LIED too.
This means an ILLEGAL is a member of Congress.
This CANNOT stand.
She must IMMEDIATELY be REMOVED from Congress.
She cannot VOTE even one more time.
This is a true Constitutional CRISIS.

Elon Musk reveals that an ex-Tesla employee who assaulted a woman for stepping on his prayer rug went on to kill three students in Austin.
MUSK: "We had someone who was working at the Tesla factory in Austin until December of last year. He was fired because he assaulted a woman who stepped on his prayer rug in the factory. Okay. So she wasn't expecting anyone to be praying in the factory, and he was praying in the factory. She accidentally stepped on his prayer rug, and he assaulted her. He violently assaulted her. So he was fired for that, and then a few months later, he went and killed three students in a bar in downtown Austin. Now, I think we shouldn't let people like that into the country. Do you?"

They hate western civilization.

Wat we weten:
1. Ze is lid van de Franse linkse partij en een activist, een van de grootste voorvechters voor het openstellen van migratie voor Noord-Afrikaanse volkeren.
2. Ze bezit een kleine chique boetiek op een chique locatie, ze stond in haar winkel in een poging die te redden van plundering en diefstal, en zei tegen hen dat ze een beroemde activiste is.
3. Ze zei tegen hen: ik ben zus-en-zo, de activiste voor asiel, ik sta aan jullie kant, ik heb jullie verdedigd en jullie toegang en verblijf in Frankrijk, ze spuwden op haar, sloegen haar neer en trapten haar met hun voeten, gelukkig leeft ze nog.
4. En ze plunderden de hele winkel, en verloren in een oogwenk al haar levenslange strijd en werk. Ze stond daar verdoofd, kon niet geloven dat deze stelende, opruiende, criminele, barbaarse horden degenen zijn die ze haar hele leven heeft verdedigd, en voor wie ze heeft gepleit om haar land binnen te vallen en te vernietigen

Making sure @HackingButLegal gets called out for the Barracks bicycle she was.
She got booted from the service for misconduct and failed to complete her enlistment.
She seems to think she gets to strut about claiming to be a veteran. She does not.
