What you consume, you become:

• The books you read.

• The content you watch.

• The people you spend time with.

• The thoughts you feed your mind.

Choose wisely.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

You made it, you own it

You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.

Educate yourself.

When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it.

Read, read, read.

Study, learn, and stimulate your brain.

Don't just rely on the school system; educate your beautiful mind.

Excellent summary of an incredible first few days. As more devious activity is exposed to brilliant sunlight we will soon be reaching the point where those remaining in the Democratic Party will fall into one of three categories - extraordinarily uninformed, willfully blind or intentionally evil. Rational, normal and informed people will find the evil and incompetence foisted by the Dems on the American people to be repulsive 🤮 and will quickly seek the refuge of the red pill 💊!

I liked your comment until the very end when you eluded to Democrats leaving the blue pills and heading over to the red pill meaning Republican. My goodness how short the memories of Americans truly are. Have we no memory of the countless times Americans have been betrayed by the Republicans AFTER we have given them both the Executive and Legislative branches? The Republicans play a good game of lip service but when they are in actual power they don't do anything they promise they will do. If w…

That’s a fair point! Remember when Bush had total control and he got rolled by Tom DeLay and other R miscreants and ended up spending like a drunken sailor? Disgusting. Seems the only time in my life the government has been under control was the last six years of Clinton, when we had a moderate POTUS and fiscally conservative R Congress. When given too much money and power, most people in government fail to serve the people, rather they serve themselves.

There's this pride flag-waving Wokie tool I work with who is so seething with inner rage since the inauguration that he tries to do these weaksauce, soyboy passive-aggressive "attacks" in the group chat doing things like posting a flag at half-mast, and then a story about some local "extremist" that Trump appointed to his cabinet - without comment. He's not really getting much buy-in even though my department is chock-full of jabbed up Woke Jacobins... I must say it's a treat to watch them flou…

The people you describe remind me of a frequent commenter on these threads. Dennis Merwood.

Here, I have this urge to write in my mother's tongue, wishing deeply that you may understand_ not about translating, but understanding. Because it is a whole different emotion sparking up when I say 'Chelum' and when I say 'Wait for me'. In another world, I wish you spoke my language.

Fly with Me

I'm sitting by a seashore, staring at the settings sun with a whole lot in my mind. My dad insists I stop making music and focus on my studies or I find a home elsewhere. I wouldn't have a problem with quiting school entirely and facing whatever comes out of it but the only person I know that dared to fly, fell.
