    Woman who burned Wyoming's only full-service abortion clinic ordered to pay $298,000

    Her voice was even and low,
    . Her eyes were level and straight.
    There was neither sign nor show,
    . When the nice girls began to hate.

    You're right that the status quo is consuming a lot of energy. Which is all the more motivation for Israel to not have this go on another 70 years. There are only 3 outs: one side leave, one side gets wiped out or lasting diplomacy. The latter requires both sides to come to the table. The first 2 only require a big enough stick. And Israel has the bigger stick.
    There is a fourth option you didn't mention; Fuck you Israel, we are not fighting your wars for you anymore!
    No, we will not give you money or give you the bigger stick or remove millions of people to expand your borders.
    Why should we care when two desert critters behave like desert critters?
    Let nature take its course on them.

    Regarding the discussion in the podcast about Lord of the Rings. I agree with Rusty about it being the last film of its kind. And by that I mean it might be the last unadulterated expression of western culture we will have in pop media.

    Just imagine if we, not Ben Shapiro, but we had the means to produce movies. It would be a cultural revival perhaps never seen in history. And it could happen tomorrow.

    The fundamental issue here is that this is no longer our culture. There was a far older American cultural war that was decided shortly after the second world war. No one talks about this.

    Q: What is the art of the magician?
    A: To misdirect your attention.

    Nick gets it. AI is a nullifier. God made man, AI made them equal.

    Video and photography has always been forged. AI nullifies the monopoly. Video evidence is henceforth insubbmissable. We are back in the 18th century in the best way.

    We are seeing other potential levelings of the playing field with drone use. These are interesting times.

    One thing to consider regarding monarchy. In our system the psychopaths inevitably rise to the top. In a monarchy, you are making a genetic gamble. Certainty vs less than certainty. Monarchy wins.

    The monarch must, of course, be of your own kin. The importance of skin in the game.

    In a forum that began on the topic of covid, I'm struggling to relate to a position that encourages giving in to the boot-wearer, who has been stepping on your neck for decades, and thinking they will then take it easy on you. I don't pretend to know more than fck all about the history and what is going on now, but it appears many Palestinians (not Hamas), given the choice of status quo and probable death (resisting the big stick), are finding it a relatively easy decision.

    Surber is especially good today: Worst century ever - Don Surber

    But the biggest problem with this century are the lies. The media outlets no longer are content with telling just one side of a story. No, now they make things up and report on imaginary facts. The Russian election interference hoax was used to discredit the 2016 election. The insurrection hoax was used to discredit legitimate concerns about the 2020 election and to throw shade on the 2024 election.

    Democrats in Colorado and Maine are pretending there was an insurrection to invoke the 14th Amendment ban on Confederates seeking federal office — congressman, senator and elector in the Electoral College — to ban Trump from the presidential ballot.

    Rather than mock these loons by pointing out the fact that he was never charged or convicted of insurrection, the media promotes this idiocy.

    AP reported, “Congress did remove that disability from most Confederates in 1872, and the provision fell into disuse. But it was rediscovered after January 6.”

    How could Congress magically remove a section of the Constitution without ratification by three-fourths of the states? AP does not say. Instead it says the ban magically “doesn't require a criminal conviction to take effect.”

    Says who?

    The story does not say. In fact, the story quotes no one on anything. There are no citations with the exception of quoting the Constitution. The story pretends to give both sides to the legal argument without bothering to talk to any of the lawyers. It is the weirdest thing that I have seen in journalism.

    Which means it totally fits in the 21st century.

    It's a position plenty of armies and indigenous people have found themselves throughout history. It boils down to their priorities. Revenge or striving for safety & a better for home for their children. As an objective observer, I'd rather be a Maori child than a Palestinian one. It does not help that they're indoctrinated from birth to be good little martyrs.

    Ultimately their choice of course. At the very least, don't cry about the consequences. Lamenting being boxed in when your stance is: "Let us out so we can hunt you to the ends of the earth and fuck you to death." Firing rockets and storing weapons in civilian areas then acting shock when the bombs drop? "Leave us alone so we can try kill your civilians in peace!" Committing a mass terror attack (endorsed by 100s if not 1000s of people cheering in the streets) then scurrying back to use your kids as fodder?

    If probable death is an easy decision. The bear you poked is more than willing to oblige. Guess that's a win/win?

    What an amazing take. No, you're right. These people (like the frankly haughty Maori, may I add) should have just stood around with their hands in their pockets since 1948, meekly accepting the rule which states if you don't have the means to engage your invaders in convential warfare, then any struggle would mean you'd be doing a "TERRORISM" and that's, y'know, immoral and bad and stuff. (obviously it would be impolite take anything more than a retard's cursory glance at the history or discuss groups like Irgun, Lehi, etc.)

    And so, Matt, the reality is that these "people" are no longer people. They are animals. They have sworn to kill everybody that's not them. That means the Israelis, the Catholics, Africans, me, you, and everybody else. And it doesn't matter why. All that matters now is that this is what they are going to do. So you're on your knees with your head about to leave your shoulders, and you say, "I understand why you're doing this. It's a failure to adapt to the supreme injustice of the last 75 years of Middle Eastern history. If I were you, I'd kill me too, since my kind facilitated this horrible injustice. Please, I beg you, be quick, and do not get my blood on these expensive new pants I'm wearing."

    And you're just fine with that. I understand that some of you guys here don't like the Jews. I get that. I understand your argument. But at some point this turns into you hating yourselves. And fuck that. If we walk you, Matt Jackson, into Gaza by yourself and leave you there, how long do you live despite the fact that you understand why Allah commands that they kill you? Do you hate yourself so much that this is okay with you? And is this okay enough with you that you condone these animals fucking Israeli girls while they stab them in the back until they cum covered in the girl's blood??

    The Palestinians are just like hundreds of other groups of people who were unable to not be conquered by other groups of people. If the southern plains Comanches had not assimilated into western society a hundred years ago to the extent that they now own big fancy Casinos all over Oklahoma, would it be okay with you that they continued butchering women and children for sport, since they had suffered injustice at the hands of the US Government? Who hasn't suffered injustice at the hands of the fucking US Government? At what point do we say that yeah, this shit was wrong when it happened, but now is now, and what are we going to do about these fucking savages we mistakenly left alive? Can you not come to grips with the very adult idea that "fair" and "right" are children's concepts that keep society somewhat together, and that "is" and "is not", like up and down, are the only real concerns?
