Notes from the Resistance
“We view ourselves on the eve of battle. We are nerved for the contest, and must conquer or perish. It is vain to look for present aid: none is at hand. We must now act or abandon all hope! Rally to the standard, and be no longer the scoff of mercenary tongues! Be men, be free men, that your children may bless their father’s name.” – Sam Houston Addressing the troops on April 21, 1836.

“I hate Republicans,” Piker said on “Pod Save America.” “I oppose them. I say that all the time. I think that the Republicans are far more damaging. The biggest terrorists, the biggest domestic terrorist in this country, the biggest terrorist internationally is the Republican Party. And not only that, but it’s just like, they … I want to fight against the growing fascist movement in this country.” [More]
I just don’t believe he doesn’t realize Mussolini said:
“Do not imagine that by tearing up my membership card in the Socialist Party you can forbid my socialist faith or prevent me from continuing to work for the cause of socialism and the revolution”
Maybe he’s resorting to a form of Taqqiya:
Hasan Doğan Piker was born on July 25, 1991, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, to Turkish parents. He grew up in Istanbul and was raised as a Muslim.
I know, I know: Give it another generation of two.
In the meantime, The Newsraper of Record says he’s not the enemy, which I guess means Republicans are.

Best reason I’ve heard yet to leave NATO and not expend one dollar or life defending the government he wouldn’t have if not for us.
I’m guessing Stephen will never have the intelligence or integrity to admit he’s a f_g idiot.

The crowd greeted Albanese and Tony Burke, the home affairs minister, by calling them “genocide supporters” and “putrid dog.” They even chant “Allahu Akbar.” [More]
So this is what happens when useful idiots are no longer needed…?

Google AI…? What say you?
Many freedoms protected in the U.S. are illegal in Dubai, UAE, due to strict conservative laws and autocratic governance. Key restrictions include prohibitions on criticizing the government, public displays of affection, LGBTQ+ rights, independent media, public protests, and certain expressions of religion. Violating these can lead to fines, imprisonment, or deportation. U.S. Department of State (.gov)
Not that I’m saying AI is GIGO curated leftist opinion or anything, but it avoided something. I said “avoided” instead of “forgot,” because it knows:
Dubai has extremely strict gun laws under UAE Federal Law No. 17 of 2019, making private firearm ownership difficult and heavily regulated. Licenses are required for purchasing or possessing weapons, with illegal possession resulting in severe penalties like imprisonment and deportation. Ownership is limited to specific purposes like sport or hunting, requiring strict licensing.
Mr. Franklin…? (And yes, I’m aware of original context.)
Maybe the wrong people are “influencers.”
Still, he has a point about cities and the dangerous oppressiveness of Democrat rule.
What this means is that the war with Iran, and bombardments of other countries like Lebanon, will destabilize the entire Middle East and create a massive amount of refugees. [More]
I’d wonder how they’ll vote once they complete the pathway to citizenship, but I don’t want to p!$$ anybody off…

I was just thinking we could really use more rigorous diversity in this country.
So… any bets on sleeper cells or lone wolves letting the Great Satan know they’re here…?
