Some truth in this analysis and some other parts I do not agree with (such as letting the Democrat leaders off the hook on their actions & agenda) but worth a listen. I believe it’s important to listen to other perspectives to protect ourselves from confirmation bias and intellectual blind spots.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpoXth-ocuE

@truthbait This could have & should have been handled better by the ICE agents. Pretti too could have handled himself in such a way that he would still be alive today.I'm not against ICE doing their job. But deadly force by federal agents is lawful only to stop an immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm, not simply because someone is protesting or legally armed. Only an imminent deadly threat justifies the shooting. Not sure that requirement was met in this case.

@amerika @truthbait Trying to be fair instead of making knee jerk reaction for or against. Pretti was stupid to get in the way, absolutely. But I'm not sure his killing was justified & it was certainly not necessary. In the future, it could be our side protesting the next Democratic administration. Don't we want our rights protected? If these officers overreacted & used excessive force they should be held accountable. If they didn't then maybe this is a wake up call to protestors.

@PNS She is doing a public service. She's letting men know which vehicles pre-emptively screen out shallow and self-centered bitches like her the most effectively.

@PNS The math question seems like a joke. Probably was given to gauge kids reading of word problems & realization that there is nothing there that is solvable.Also, just because a parent is conservative doesn't mean they are good parents.Was it just one particular teacher & pupil having this kind of difficulty or was it all three? Was the complaint about attendance for all or one?I need the teaches' view on what's going on here. It's not always the school. Some parents have issues too.

@PNS I don't want to go into all my personal experience as both a parent & educator that shapes my viewpoint. Suffice it to say that Ithere are at least two sides to what is going on with this family. Plus we don't know the student in question.Yes, system has gone woke & there are many libtard teachers but not all. I've seen shitty parenting by conservatives & homeschoolers too. Not enough information to objectively analyze this situation. One cannot just go by what parent says.

If Canada refuses to purchase US fifth-generation F-35 fighter jets, Washington will have to invade the neighboring country's airspace more frequently, said US Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra.The diplomat noted that the US will have to purchase more F-35 jets for its own Air Force & send them into Canadian airspace more often, "to counter threats approaching the US".Canada should worry about it's own borders, instead of having a bunch of SS descendants control it's foreign policy.

The American Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been instructed to avoid using the word "ice" in reports about the powerful winter storm.Officials fear that calls like "be careful of the ice" could provoke a wave of media criticism and political memes about the immigration service ICE.✨ Impossible to be politically neutral amidst the craziness that is America 2026.

1/4Headline: "Despite running $75 billion automaker General Motors, CEO Mary Barra still responds to ‘every single letter’ she gets by hand."https://share.google/MKH623pjSzZoFXYaAQuestion:Is Mary Barra destroying GM by prioritizing ideology over business?The Evidence:EV Overcommitment - Barra pledged to eliminate gas vehicles by 2035, not because customers demanded it but to lead on climate. Now GM loses $30k+ per EV sold while demand lags.

2/4Failed Basics:While chasing ESG awards & the "electric future," GM's core products are failing. The 2.7L turbo, transmission problems, quality control collapses - bread-and-butter engineering is broken while leadership focuses elsewhere.Stakeholder Capitalism:Serving everyone (workers, communities, environment, shareholders) means accountability to no one. Divided attention, diluted results.Has GM been run to win in the brutal global auto market, or to earn approval from ESG raters?

3/4Under Barra, GM has increasingly adopted characteristics associated with feminized institutional culture:Consensus over decisiveness - Stakeholder capitalism requires pleasing multiple groups rather than making hard, unpopular choices.Social approval over market dominance - Prioritizing how GM is perceived (climate leader, diverse employer, responsible corporate citizen) over whether it's winning against competitors.

4/4Risk aversion in execution, recklessness in ideology:Won't fix basic engine problems or failing strategies, but will make massive ideological bets on untested EV timelines.Compassion theater & fundamentals decay:Focus on being seen as caring (about climate, stakeholders, etc) while actual customers get defective engines.Under Barra, GM has become less focused on hard metrics—reliability, profitability, market share—& more focused on soft metrics like ESG scores & social positioning.

@EvolLove @OneEyeKing Communism and fascism both deify the State, treating rights as government-granted privileges rather than inherent to humanity. The Founders' genius was anchoring rights in the Creator—a power above the State—making them truly inalienable. When rights flow from government, they can be revoked by government. Both systems suppress speech and autonomy for this reason.And that's why I will always fight fascism and communism because you tards want to put us in chains.

@truthbait If we stay off topics of foreign wars and taxpayer support for the government of a particular tribe that wear funny little hats, then we can get along."Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

Now Carney says Canada was complicit in the Holocaust. Speaking at the event at the National Holocaust Memorial in Ottawa, Carney said Canada was complicit in the murder of millions of Jewish people during the Second World War because it stayed silent.[Silence is violence....blah blah blah]https://www.cp24.com/news/canada/2026/01/27/carney-says-holocaust-remembrance-day-a-time-to-remember-canadian-complicity/
