No...Such State mandated moral exhibitionism doesn't consider the basic questions: 1. Better compared to what? 2. Specifically in what way better? 3. At what cost & who pays? 4. What hard evidence do you have this is a good idea? 5. Are results measured or only intentions?

"What was also discussed very clearly, and said by different member states, is that any participation in the 9th May parades or celebrations in Moscow will not be taken lightly on the European side," the European Union’s top diplomat said on April 14.

I don't see much difference between this activity & the same sort of extortion that has become common by the other party who sends "settlements" to leftist lobbying groups.Neither is an EG of good govt.Lets stop assigning the problem to just 1 side. Abuse of power leverages from the past abuses.

A group of five small businesses on sue President Trump, seeking to block new tariffs that he has imposed on foreign imports in recent weeks.

You don't have to worry about stubbing your TOW...

There's a good case to be made that Trump's tariffs-by-decree against Canada violate the laws and Constitution of the United States, as well as the previous agreement we made with Ottawa. Might they also violate a treaty between the U.S. and Montana's Blackfoot Indian tribe? Paging Justice Gorsuch!

They're sitting on $50bn trust fund... Why are they even taking govt money? Just stop it and be like Hillsdale...

THE MANDATE OF HEAVEN HAS BEEN LOST. How many more omens do we have to get???

With their trust fund I'm wondering why they bother taking govt money at all...

Sorry, can't keep up. Head spinning. Must be my age. Or vertigo.

Teach your kids the value of an organized and labeled utility system.

Roman Rozhavsky’s the real deal—18 years in the trenches, tracking foreign spies and sniffing out insider threats. The FBI’s counterintelligence game just got a serious upgrade. #FBILeadership #Counterintelligence #NationalSecurity #InsiderThreats #FBI www.hstoday.us/industry/peo...

Russia didn’t need to hack the system—they tried to walk right in through Trump’s inner circle. When foreign influence starts with job applications, we’ve got a deeper problem than just bad policy. #espionage #ForeignInterference #NationalSecurity lansinginstitute.org/2025/02/10/1...
