Here’s a solution for Haiti that Yarvin might like: give it back to its rightful owner, Christopher Columbus XX. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristóbal… His ancestor discovered Hispaniola, the island Haiti 🇭🇹 is on, and he was shipwrecked off of what is now Haiti, on Christmas Eve, 1492.

His claim to Haiti precedes that of the descendants of African slaves.

1/11 How the British prevented Jamaica 🇯🇲 from turning into Haiti 🇭🇹. 🧵 from Jan Morris’s “Heaven’s Command”, excising a bit of her anachronistic editorializing. Image 2/11 The main character here is the Governor of Jamaica at the time, Edward John Eyre. Image

The main takeaway here should be that the minority Marxists cheering Hamas are dumb, and lacked the theory of mind to understand how this would go over.

But their antipathy toward Jews isn’t new.

So why the establishment crackdown now? 1/9 🧵 The main reason is the scale of the Hamas attack.

It appears to be the 2nd-worst terrorist incident in history in terms of deaths (with 9/11 being the worst).

Terrorism death counts over 1,000 are extremely rare. 2/9

Arnold takes a brave stand here against (in reverse chronological order) @RichardBSpencer’s tiki torch march in Charlottesville, Apartheid, Nazi Germany, and the Confederacy.

I have some thoughts, but first watch this; it’s very well done. 🧵 1/ First, I think you’ve got to be a miserable person to dislike Arnold or Trump. If you were born in America in the ‘70s or any decade after, they’ve been deservedly famous for as long as you can remember. 2/

Would be curious to see the average test scores of cops who do this. I’m willing to bet they’re fairly low. I live in a diverse area and can’t remember an incident like this.

Cops here get paid very well and you’ve got to ace the cop test to even get an interview.

Literally hundreds of guys take the test when one spot opens up.

This is stupid and wrong on multiple levels.

1) The ~$100 billion we’re spending on the Ukraine is 164% of Russia’s annual defense budget and nearly 9x the cost of a border wall that would actually protect America.* Image *(Going by NPR’s $11 billion estimate.)

2) Russia’s conventional military poses no offensive threat to us, as evinced by their struggle to project force next door in the Ukraine.

Why can’t @CBSSports stop broadcasting this blowout and show the @Bengals game instead?

Even their @paramountplus app doesn’t let you switch.

Imagine letting the left hang Charlottesville around Trump’s neck while Biden (and, admittedly, nearly all of Congress) is funding and arming guys like this. In four years, @noahpinion has gone from accusing Trump of tolerance for murderous Nazis to supporting murderous Nazis himself.

Seems clear now that no one in the Biden administration, the EU, or NATO thought through the implications of the Russia sanctions at all.
zerohedge.com/markets/zoltan… If the current trajectory continues, it's going to lead to inflationary forces that central banks won't be able to control, because they're based on real world, physical constraints imposed by the sanctions regime.

Take the Aframax oil container ship, for example... Image

My #UFC271 picks. Have a big parlay (see next tweet), money line bets on the rest, plus an extra bet on @bambamtuivasa to win by KO/TKO. Here’s the parlay. You can break this up in two if you want a better chance of winning.

My #UFCVegas47 picks. Took these six in parlay, with straight bets on the rest. If this gets busted early, may add a few live bets.
