They wouldn't have been able to do that if the preconditions had not been in place: namely, that 'generation of young boys' had been made, by the left, to feel innately inferior and unappreciated--hopelessly unredeemable harbors of toxicity--for their entire lives. The backlash was inevitable.

This isn’t good optics for the Trump administration, even if we set aside the morality of it.

People tend to vote based how the party in power is doing, and stories like this aren’t winning over hearts and minds to Republicans.

The Trump administration should reverse course.

Eric Brakey:

I was detained by Border Patrol and Customs for 90 minutes coming back from a @RoyalCaribbean cruise today in Florida.

After they rifled through all my belongings, read my personal journal, and confiscated my phone and computer, I had to explain to them that the @FreeStateNH is a non-violent, peaceful libertarian movement that builds community, culture and political change.

We were invited to New Hampshire in the early 2000s by the Governor of the state. We reject violence as a path to creating change.

In detail, I had to explain the nature of the Defend the Guard movement and assure them that I was not part of a violent extremist group seeking to raise a militia for insurrection against the government.

At one point during my detention, I asked for clarification on what rights I had here as a U.S. citizen and was told that they did not need a warrant for anything in my possession, including all my electronic devices.

They eventually let me go.

Truth be told, I am shaken up and in shock right now.

The exact scene that cracked my mother and I up the first time we saw it. We could hardly stop laughing.

We found out that the cost of our usual hay order has doubled & the delivery charge has almost tripled!

We’ve set up a justgiving to help us.
We’re so thankful for any support, if you can, especially before the hay arrives on Tuesday: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

Thank you!

Oh no, Dani! What happened?

New Mexico has embraced universality in their free childcare system, becoming the first state with it, and providing about $12,000 a year per kid in free care. They decided they wanted to eliminate the cliff effect and stigma of means-testing, and in doing so, maximize labor force participation. 👏👏

The Anti-Defamation League reports an average annual rate of 3 murders per year by white supremacists, though not all victims are black. They estimate the actual number of blacks killed by white supremacists at 1-2 per year.
Average number of unarmed black men shot by police per year is around 10.

What really happened is that the democrats lost, fair and square--not only the electoral college, but the popular vote, because their platform did not align in any way with what people wanted or needed. Figure that out first, then figure out what to do about it.

Our government-run education is good for grooming folks for universities, but it slows most folks down.

Then those who go to the universities often end up not making enough and ask for student debt relief.

Welfare incentives are bad too, and UBI would be an improvement over what we currently have.

I believe this to be true. However, radical beer-drinking is not quite the same as, say, radical, absolutist religious fervor. Probably the latter requires a much more emphatic policy approach.
