If you need convincing that #Socialism is in fact the gospel of envy, all you need to do is look at the replies to ANY @elonmusk tweet. The socialists will not rest until everything Musk has is redistributed to them.
What I find interesting is that until recent times, @elonmusk was apolitical. It’s my guess that he viewed politics as nothing more that wasteful, anti-intellectual mud slinging.
But I suspect, based on his recent tweets, that he may view navigating the American political landscape equally as challenging as a trip to Mars.
Based on Musk’s working habits, I can’t imagine any socialist matching him in terms of drive, ambition, and ingenuity. If, as Marx said, “religion is the opiate of the masses,” then socialism is rat poison for the mind and the destroyer of human vitality. ImageImage

So, a couple of days ago, Twitter awarded me with a 12 hour timeout. Why? Because I made leftists REALLY mad. They reported me for “promoting violence against other people based on their religious affiliation.” I was then forced to delete a tweet.
So, what was the tweet? It was one in which I was lamenting the fact that Jews were unarmed during the rise of the Third Reich, and they were left defenseless as a result. We all know what happened after that. The Holocaust.
But my point was even larger than that. It was that self defense is the most basic of all human rights. Just about anywhere in the world where defenseless people have existed, a genocide has followed.

I remember when the GWOT was raging. There was a movement on the left that called for sensitivity in the way the terms “Islamic” and “terrorism” were used.

Obama himself said:
Emile Nakhleh is a retired CIA Senior Intelligence Service Officer at the CIA claimed that Obama was right to not say "radical Islam." According to him, avoiding the phrase isn't "politically correct." It's “strategic.”

I remember a lot of incitement and threats made against Trump. I also remember that it was encouraged by those on the political left. It was fashionable.
And the results?

This morning, and article written by @akarl_smith caught my eye. It’s about a supposed “political battlefield” that Trump and his supporters have “cultivated.”
According to @akarl_smith , “Schools have become the focal point for culture war fights that animated former President Donald Trump's base and have been advanced by conservative activists and influencers since he left office.”
I will summarize the piece here: Leftists are very upset that their efforts to indoctrinate children are now being opposed after decades of inaction by anyone on the political right.

So if you’re in terrorist-occupied territory, and the terrorists are telling you that you can’t leave until a certain set of demands or conditions are met, then you’re not… a hostage?

Once again, leftist journalists turn themselves inside out to concoct a ridiculous narrative.
Question: When are hostages not really hostages?

Answer: When the hostage situation makes a Democrat look bad. Then they’re not really hostages. They’re just guests who have not yet been invited to leave.
Let’s do a thought exercise, @NaveedAJamali. Let’s say Trump is still president. In this scenario, Trump completely botched the withdrawal. For days and days, the Taliban blockades the airport and refuses to let Americans leave. A bomb explodes and kills 14 Marines.

Thread.

It’s going to take a while to get this out, so bear with me.

Begin:

Malala Yousafzai has become an international symbol for feminism and female education equality. The political left holds her as a hero.
Malala is the daughter of educational activist, who were determined to see that their daughter get a proper education in a part of the world where women and girls were banned from attending school.
On October 9, 2012, after attending school and taking an exam, Malala and two other girls were shot. Malala herself was shot in the head and nearly died.
