We got a lot of growing up to do and there’s still … a lot of men who do not feel like they can be led by a woman and we saw it.

Not "they," the country. A lot of men do not feel like the country can be led by a woman.

But of course Big Mike wouldn't be able to begin to imagine doing something for the good of one's country rather than just the good of oneself.

The rebates -- $38 billion worth -- are the product of President Bush's tax legislation

To celebrate the mailing of the first checks, Vice President Dick Cheney and Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill went to a government check-writing facility in Kansas City, Missouri. Friday. Bush joined them via satellite

Bonus:

At Wal-Mart stores across the country, people can cash their checks on site or spend the amount in the store against the value of the check.

Some things never change.

I’ve seen a lot of articles about how Monster Hunter Rise has been selling better and inevitably the author dives into cope about it being due to Rise going on sale for $10.

If Wilds was good people would be paying so they can play with their friends who play it. But it’s not, so they won’t.

Has the economist always been like this?

They’ve supported every Democrat since John Kerry in 2004. They’re better than Forbes but they’re only “centrist” by European standards.

"I'm going to order you to pay with an impossible timeframe. That way you won't have any time to appeal and the MSM can say Trump broke the law."

I've been told by a good source that the UPS MD11 had a 2 hr delay for maintanance on the #1.

This means that the #1 engine (the one that appears to have departed the aircraft) was being worked on by maintenance right before this occurred.

Unless this plane was overloaded or calculations were done incorrectly, the MD-11 is capable of taking off with only two engines. A massive fire on the wing changes the equation.

One potential factor here is that since the MD-11 is a trijet, the #2 engine (the one in the tail) may have injested debris or hot air from the fire on the wing. It's also possible that the fire itself disrupted lift to an extent that the aircraft was unable to climb.

Oh no...

“During my Kennedy Center show on Thursday night, a group of Tr*mp supporters boo’d me when I mentioned Ric Grenell and seemed to be there to intimidate me,” yet “playing that Malcolm X video in that space and forcing this current administration to reckon with the damage they’ve caused, while also promoting joy and the power of music to the audience … this is why I do what I do.”

Why was a race grifter that would play a Malcolm X video even allowed to "perform," and why would any Trump supporters even show up?

My takeaway from this is that people attending these "performances" are there for political patronage (which isn't exactly a shock). Just tear it down.

For Israel, losing control of its data to authorities overseas was a significant concern. So to deal with the threat, officials created a secret warning system: the companies must send signals hidden in payments to the Israeli government, tipping it off when it has disclosed Israeli data to foreign courts or investigators.

...

The strict controls include measures that prohibit the US companies from restricting how an array of Israeli government agencies, security services and military units use their cloud services. According to the deal’s terms, the companies cannot suspend or withdraw Israel’s access to its technology, even if it’s found to have violated their terms of service.

The Democrats would have you outraged that the people who would do this to thousands of Americans are having their boats destroyed. Maybe if more people saw videos like this, they might be outraged at the Democrats instead.

Sad thing is, the western design would be much uglier than that in reality.

I do think that the current valuations due to AI are a potential risk, but that's hardly Trump's fault. In fact, Trump's work to bring manufacturing and other sectors back to the US may help.

Given the serious implications of this Court decision and the pending appeal, The City is hosting an information session

"Come learn more about how we're giving your land and dwelling away. We'll use it as an opportunity to determine if we should show up to your house like the ATF at Waco. Maybe we'll even arrest you now."

These people are pure fucking evil.

Not a single person below the age of 50

There are a lot of boomers who grew up trusting the MSM and still trust them. And the younger communist footsoldiers are off being destructive and intimidating people, not standing around holding signs.

they would not argue in good faith but play stupid and act like they don't understand basic words and concepts in order to frustrate and discourage disagreement

Yup. Just look at them embrace the term "woke" while also claiming you can’t define it.

He said they're going for a "70s aesthetic" (not "70s reality" or accuracy to the setting of the original movie) and from that perspective I'm not sure having a black character is entirely wrong. This was the decade that brought audiences All in the Family (in which a liberal man plays a "bigot"), The Jeffersons, and an overall massive increase in black actors compared to the previous decade (which had its own issues).

The leftist long march through the institutions was long underway by that time.

For awhile the South seemed to be covered pretty fairly, then the CRT shit happened and they became deliberately evil slave holders hurting black people for the fun of it

World War I tends to be covered more objectively IME, though I think a large part of that is that people just don't care because there are no victim points to be gained in 2025. Either that or people just lump it together with World War II.

You forgot “Because these hack comedians got sacked we’re justified in digging through every 10 year old tweet every conservative has ever made and debanking them if they said anything we find remotely offensive.”

motivated more by Halo and similar fantasy role-play than by substantive political discord

Firstly, it's "discorse," not "discord."

Secondly, fuck you Geraldo for downplaying the violence of the political left. Anyone who has read or watched mainstream news has been bombarded with articles about how Trump and anyone left of Mao is a literal fascist and is going to destroy democracy. They need to be held accountable.

And before the Elite's split from the Covenant there were no Grunts vs Elites, same team.

I'm pretty sure he just thinks that "Grunts" means the marines (and other humans).

Hollywood isn't about making money, it's about indoctrinating people into a worldview.

It can't be understated how much of a danger shows like this can be, and how useful they can be as propaganda.

I've met normies who confused shit they saw on Law & Order SVU with things that actually happened given a few years' separation from the actual events.

There's plenty of male cheerleaders doing flippy shit, tossing women, hell even doing masculine dance routine.

It's a thing in Japan and can be seen in some manga.

Sites should just collectively block traffic from the UK. Let their government have their China / North Korea style net, and maybe it will inspire their populace to do whatever is needed to put a stop to the censorship.
