Woman says she refuses to work
“I just got out of a meeting with my DHS caseworker "...and she is threatening me once again to take everything unless I go and get a job.
I explained to her I can't go and get a job.
Actually, it's not even that I can't, it's that I do not want to.
I have been on welfare for 13 years.
Thirteen years I have been on Section 8, so I haven't had to pay rent, okay? Food stamps, cash assistance, disability— I don't even know how a job works, okay?
I don't want to work. That is the whole point; I don't want to work...

Yes, he's flexible!-----Trump opens door to Senate sanctions bill as frustrations with Moscow grow | Just The News
Previously skeptical of being belligerent towards Russia, Trump has hinted he’s now considering a tough sanctions bill against Moscow. - Steven RichardsPresident Donald Trump has increasingly aired his frustrations with his Russian counterpart over stalled peace negotiations and continued attacks against Ukraine, building momentum in the Senate to move forward with a tough sanctions bill against the Russian Federation...
- Trump, impatient with Putin’s unwillingness to entertain even a temporary ceasefire, has grown warmer towards the idea of a sanctions bill which has encouraged the Senate to act.
- After previously calling the bill “very harsh,” Trump now says that he is now “looking at” the measure “very strongly.”..
Massive, national movements are rarely pure.
America hasn’t seen this level of harsh rhetoric and politically motivated/sanctioned violence since the violent protests and the radicalism of the 1960’s. - Michael SmithMany people think of this period as the age of the Civil Rights struggle - and it was – but there was another component active as well.
It was also a period during which the desires of anarchists and communists (just anti-capitalists, really) who chose to piggyback on the Civil Rights movement, were expressed – and often violently so...
Most of this agitation, radicalism and violence had ties to academia...
- The point of this diatribe is that we have seen this all before with one very big and very important difference.
- This time, the contemporary radicals are the wholly owned subsidiary of a political party and the former 1960’s radicals form the intellectual leadership of this political party, a party hoping to use radicalism to propel them back to power.
- This radical political party is the modern Democrat Party.

“High Priests of Consensus Panic: The NYT’s Meltdown Over Scientific Skepticism”, by Charles Rotter
“The New York Times is at it again—clutching pearls and reaching for fainting couch as Trump administration dares to let a little oxygen into the musty, tightly sealed room of government climate “consensus.”…” - Stephen Heins
Right out of the gate, the Times wrings its hands over the shocking spectacle of scientists—yes, actual scientists—who “reject the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change” being allowed anywhere near the Energy Department.
- If the tone of their latest lament, “Trump Hires Scientists Who Doubt the Consensus on Climate Change,” is any indication, you’d think the barbarians had just sacked Rome with nothing but peer-reviewed papers and calculators.
Right out of the gate, the Times wrings its hands over the shocking spectacle of scientists—yes, actual scientists—who “reject the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change” being allowed anywhere near the Energy Department.

Here are the 10 U.S. cities with the highest homicide rates and the last time each had a Republican mayor: - Patrick Bet-David@patrickbetdavid 
1. St. Louis, MO – 1949

Bad policies destroy great cities.
If the leadership doesn’t change, you have 3 choices:
•Change the policies
•Change the city you live in
•Accept the consequences
But choose—because doing nothing is a decision too.

School district fined $30K for censoring school choice critic | Blaze Media
School district fined $30K for censoring school choice critic | Blaze Media:
The trouble began on August 11, 2024, when Pulaski County Schools used its official social media pages and website to lobby against Amendment 2, a ballot measure to advance school choice in Kentucky. As an advocate for educational freedom, I criticized the district for using taxpayer-funded platforms to engage in political advocacy — something clearly prohibited under Kentucky law.
It’s not the working class or even the middle class that’s boosting Zohran, it’s the activist UPPER MIDDLE class
Not the guys making 400k+, they also didn’t go for him. - Inez Stepman@InezFeltscher
It’s the second tier Ivy League “best and brightest” who
- committed to being part of the activist “movement” in the NGO complex for the good but not outrageous salaries of about $100-200k
- and can’t accept the tradeoff of their classmates who did the “bad thing” of going into finance or big law being able to afford a 2 bd in the west village with nice light for $7000/month.
