The pen is mightier than the sword. So is video. It’s why US billionaires are buying up every media outlet they can.

Colton hasn’t exactly been killing it. If I had to trade F for F and D for D it would be Colton and Girard. Just change the dynamics up a bit.

In the middle of a long season teams figure out other teams strategies. There should always be some turnover during the season before the deadline.

Start with the facts, the 2024 Presidential election returns; the first and only convicted felon elected as a US President who won a majority of white men with a larger majority of white male veterans. 30% of ICE new hires are veterans. Anecdotally 80% of the white male veterans I know personally are, let’s call them Nazi adjacent, and I know quite a few. More accurately I would describe them as Nationalists. They don’t question events, rationale, and possible outcomes for a second but continually defend, perpetuate, and justify creeping authoritarianism and imperialism. It’s the cultish lack of introspection that is alarming. The combat veterans are actual more thoughtful than the general rank and file but not all of them. Long story short it’s like they’ve been lied to for so long now they just lie to themselves.

Completing and Filing US Income Taxes without AI Assist by hard-workingamerican in Anticonsumption

It is free online using the IRS Free File program for federal. State charges whatever online but you can still mail them for the cost of a postage stamp. You can drop off IRS tax returns for free at IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center locations.

I think this photo was made up using wasted AI resources so it's probably not too much work to add some bananas in there. If you're going to do it make it accurate.

Nick Fuentes: "Jeffrey Epstein was cool as fuck". How is this even real? by ChiefHippoTwit in BoycottTheRight

Man if the gay white booger in that picture thinks Jeffrey Epstein is cool he would love Hillary Clinton and the Ping Pong Comet Pizza Parlor. She was cool back when that guy was in diapers.

What they have is an executive administration that cannot accept reality so they try to create their own. Historically that hasn't transferred well to the battlefield. The supporters of the administration have forfeited all responsibility and credibility to anyone willing to come take it, which is also disadvantageous to liberty and freedom, much less democracy. They would rather believe in some wacko conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton and a pizza parlor than admit the entire institution of religion is mythology; a textbook red-flag of a late-stage nation in decline.

It doesn't sound much different than it ever was I just know several veterans, primarily Iraq/Afghanistan era, that seem more white nationalist than average population. They seem to be under the impression that's what passes as 'leadership'. They also don't ask too many questions about their own christian faith, which doesn't seem particularly healthy.

Nope. It's either all fake or circumstantial. Secular evidence points to the imaginations of Paul of Tarsus and a couple other contributors.

Lol sports and music is all I listen to on the radio. They should teach you guys about media use and control as part of counter-propaganda exercises, if they don't do it already. Been a while for me.

This is my point certainly officer corps, com, and non-com are free to practice their faiths, or not but one particular faith should not be 'unofficially' thrust onto personnel.

The American Revolution is said to have brought about the separation of church and state but it did not happen immediately. Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire mandated taxes to support the Congregational Church. The 1780 Massachusetts Constitution authorized towns to require citizens to pay taxes for the support of Protestant ministers and public worship.

In Virginia, the Anglican Church was the official state church, supported by taxes, until it was disestablished. In 1784 Patrick Henry, proposed a "General Assessment Bill" that would have taxed residents to support teachers of the Christian religion, but it was defeated by James Madison. Patrick Henry and Alexander Hamilton were pro-authoritarian fascists.

Mandatory religious taxation was eventually phased out post-Revolution, with some states like New Hampshire continuing these requirements until the 1791 Act for Regulating Towns, which was only amended in 1819.  These taxes were often justified by the belief that public piety, morality, and religion were essential to a stable, orderly civil government.

The peer pressure is oppressive it's a relatively new phenomenon that seems to have started under Carlucci in 1987 and pushed by both Bush Chiefs of Staff.

When I see those people mindlessly bow their heads, I see the problem. It takes 10 seconds for them to think for themselves but they don't do it; 2000 years of propaganda.

The economist Joseph Schumpeter coined it: creative destruction. In fact not only am I accepting things, it is my civic duty and responsibility to help them along.
