Gonna show my kids Die Hard II: Die Harder because they are so #based after their bad father showed them the first one their minds were blown when I just showed them the trailer for the second which they didn’t know existed until five minutes ago.
I dad moderate with the remote control, Karen.
They just rejected a rich sample of other movies they wanted to see because of the new shite coming to light that there was another Die Hard movie.

🧵Everyone needs to clearly understand this: "3 yrs ago, Joe Biden issued an executive order titled, 'Promoting Access to Voting.' Its stated goal was to 'promote & defend the right to vote,' and Biden directed every agency in government to participate." theblaze.com/columns/opinio…
"Federal agencies were somehow supposed to look into voter registration, expand vote-by-mail, and use approved third-party organizations to help them get it all done. We all saw what approved third-party organizations meant in 2020. It meant partisan politics with strings attached. In short, Biden refused to let us know just what this executive order was meant to do."
"...it’s essentially “Zuck Bucks” on government-funded steroids, and new information appears to prove this... This email was revealed by the @OversightPR:
Y'all had asked for some data on voter registration through NVRA [National Voter Registration Act] at the state level, which I’ve pasted below. So the Department of Agriculture — of all agencies — had enlisted the support of this approved third-party to get their info at state level on voter registration data."
🧵If what Fournier says is true it is the first I, the Editor in Chief at @TheBlaze, has heard about it. However, earlier today, we received the following statement from Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), Chairman of the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight (@standwithbarry/@RepLoudermilk):
“An allegation of a Capitol Police officer lying under oath is very serious and must be fully investigated. For this reason, I am releasing these still frames from USCP CCTV video footage, with timestamps, showing the movements of Officer Lazarus on January 6, 2021.”
The root of all the ongoing madness, division, and lack of trust in institutions is that, over the last 7 years, something surfaced from previously unseen depths—and now you either see it or vehemently deny it.
2 big catalysts:
A) The campaign against Trump claiming Russian collusion, etc. by government agencies & actors, politicians & partisan operatives, media, & major institutions.
B) The response to COVID-19 by government agencies & actors, politicians & partisan operatives, media, & institutions.
Special nod also to what’s been exposed in the education system, which is having the same effect.
For many, one or all of the above revealed the deep corruption of the authorities.
For everyone on all sides, each of these revealed how corrupt and evil their opponents are.
"This shift will soon become the most significant change in America in living memory."
Wrote this before Rich Men North of Richmond, Bud Light, Target, Sound of Freedom, etc., but all these ever-increasing examples pale in comparison to what's coming.
THREAD on exciting news and my personal trajectory amidst all the madness.
In 2020, as we hurtled towards election day, @rikkiratliff (champion) had me on with @glennbeck to talk about how the Right had failed to organize and prepare for what was coming.
The response from the audience was overwhelming; it saddened me as I knew it was too late to do any of what was need to change the outcome. When the inevitable happened that November, I knew I needed to stop complaining and just go out and build things I knew were needed.
At time I was a VP at @ClaremontInst, where I founded @theammind w/@jamespoulos & headed up the Fellowship programs, all of which was fostered/made possible by @RpwWilliams.
Still involved! Will meet this yr's Lincoln & Marshall Fellows later this month.
Over a decade ago I spent the better part of three years of my life testing teachers and student in American history nationwide while studying the founding era and my conclusion was: we are screwed.
You can’t/won’t keep republican form of government like this. Not possible.
There’s no coming back anytime soon. The damage is done and baked deep into the system itself. Red states can, should, and must radically reform their entire educational systems. This requires wholly new means of credentialing and teaching teachers.
That’s your only hope.
Generations now have no deep cultural anchors or ties to shared meaning—no clear understanding of their nation’s basic workings or history or anything at all about religion or ideas—except for a smattering of corporate products like video games and TV shows and movies.
