One hot topic of debate at TPUSA this weekend has been the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967. If you’re like most normal Americans, you’ve probably never heard of this event. If you are or have ever been a neo-Nazi, then this is an event you know A WHOLE LOT about.

Nothing to see here, just a right wing hyper-nationalist government going to their party’s youth event sponsored by a group with a martyred leader they’ve pledged to avenge, recruiting people to join their masked police force devoted to removing auslanders from ze homeland.

Let’s take my great great great great great great great great great great grandmother Elizabeth Stoughton who came to Massachusetts in 1639. Her second husband died so she went to follow her brother. She’d be on a F4 visa nowadays and she’d have to wait ~17 years to be processed. She passed in 1647.
If immigrating from England makes you a "heritage American" then I guess I'm one too.

The Abundance movement often points to environmental groups as the obstacles to building. But who actually files the lawsuits blocking projects? It’s not environmental groups. It’s been lawyered-up HOAs protecting property values all along. Regulation by litigation is the problem.

No dean in the history of academia has ever told a job applicant they were being blocked be side they were white because (a) that never actually happens and (b) if it did there would be a massive lawsuit.
But thank you, Naomi Wolf, for confirming that this is something the Crazies believe.

You’ll never guess who else experienced ‘racism’ on the job market despite their unimpeachable academic credentials.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Trump's DOJ has been ordered to embark on a sweeping crackdown on "left-wing domestic terrorism." Civil liberties experts warn it could lead to a level of politicized FBI surveillance of Americans not seen since the era of J. Edgar Hoover and COINTELPRO.

Serious injuries from traffic violence aren't tracked as quickly as deaths, but can be just as devastating to communities. They're life-changing.
In PDX between 4x & 10x as many people suffer serious injuries as die in Portland traffic
So far in 2025 44 people died on our streets.
One is too many!

“Serious injury” is a strict legal definition signifying a life-altering injury such as loss of a limb, organ, or fetus.
There have been 11,330 serious injuries from New York City traffic crashes since 2022.
Serious injuries were at an all-time high under the Adams administration in Q3 2025.
