    Justice is not served, I agree with the victims mom. It’s should not all be about money.

    Personally I think thrill killing 4 college kids in the bloom of their life deserves a more special punishment before the gas or chair:

    I think there are certain groups of people that should not be in the country. They seem to be in nature DE-constructive to our republic.

    Jackson seems one of those.

    Which is why I think the far left want open borders.

    Ok please enough with this unconditional surrender stuff.

    It prolongs wars and makes the enemy fight with harder resolve.

    You just have to have tougher conditional terms:
    1. Replace the Mullahs and clerics with the Prince of the late Shaw and have them executed or sent to Guantanamo bay for a 50 year vacation.
    2. Allow Israel and US military to have control of all Iranian nuclear forces and facilities for X years
    3. Keep and allied military force to help the Prince institute some sort of pro-western government and weed out the radicals for X years.

    Etc

    I just said to someone else this morning. I am proud of Trump for the victory but I’m afraid it is incomplete as the Clerics in soiled robes are still in power.

    That’s my first thought as well. If evil is real, is there a better way for Satan to disguise himself?

    Infiltrate a Church and pervert its preachings.

    My Agnostic side can’t decide if evil is real….

    PS
    I’m confused. The “guy” was trans and a black girl asked him out (sex) . So she is actually a lesbian ? Or they believe fake sex change is real and she thinks she is straight????🫨🫨🫨

    I really, really wish I kept a meme from a few years ago. It described what you are saying to a T.

    It showed some British kids (real British you know white English kids) and an Islamic militant type. He was showing them a long razor sharp sword and they were super interested. Crowding around him and his friends were talking to them about Islam.

    Meanwhile in the background you could see the kids actual English parents and they were marching with flowers hanging around their heads, hippy clothes and LGBTQ signs everywhere.

    Maybe it’s just because I get negative news on the 3 leftist SCOTUS.

    But they seem remarkably stupid for people who made it to such lofty heights.

    Ayn Rand showed many decades ago in her novels how it happens. The real socialists in control maneuver the useful idiots into positions of power, so they can pull the strings.

    Canada is not the same country anymore anyway.
    I believe almost a shocking 1/4 of Canada is now foreign born.

    They are being replaced…eh? Or should I say.. “Kya”?

    And it mostly being done with LEGAL immigration (a same thing is happening in Finland) . Time we revisited that supposed perfect and good process.

    Matt Walsh has a brilliant monologue on the dangers of legal migration:

    I left with the white flight to S Indiana in 1974 when they started forced busing at age 11 so I missed the Louisville dating scene. Always wondered what it would have been like to have dated city girls vs country girls.

    I still live within an hours drive,

    BTW I can’t believe Louisville STILL forces kids to drive all over the city for integration. I heard it’s the last city that does that. SMDH

    I definitely agree with that.

    I’d imagine “New Orleans” started off as actual English and was bastardized over time to what it is now ; NAW-LUNS.

    I also once had a collage of national news sources covering the big 1937 flood. All with the pronounced E in the middle.

    I queried Chat GPT and unlike the moron democratic commenters on Facebook “LMAO you people think this has something to do with Trump —laugh face—“ or “this started before Trump” the A.I. (liberal programmed AI I’d remind you) said indeed Trump tariffs were a major reason for the move back to the USA from the CCP.

    BTW What an unfortunate surname for the young lady writer 😂

    FDR—not only was he getting old for the time but he was a long sufferer of polio which weakened him— “Mens sana in corpore sane”..eh? Yes we agree he was an evil genius, I was being flippant with the word dumb. But I do believe he wasn't as sharp in 1943 as before. “ FDR had a history of polio, which left him paralyzed from the waist down since 1921, and he relied on leg braces, a wheelchair, or assistance to move. Beyond polio, he suffered from chronic conditions, including hypertension and heart issues, which were not fully understood or well-managed at the time due to the era's medical limitations.” I believe poor heart conditions can effect thought ability can they not? ————————————- Washington, Grant etc. Ok firstly it's so odd we are talking about Washington as an example to defend the principle of U.Sur in WW2. 1. He was a general in a civil war in the Romantic Era. You are comparing apples to oranges. 2. Washington was not actually an adherent to U. Sur: “ As a military leader, he prioritized victory and the survival of the Continental Army, but he was not dogmatic about demanding unconditional surrender in every case. His approach balanced firmness with flexibility” The U Sur demand of FDR in WW2 were anything but flexible, they were like a rusted span of iron wedged in 10 feet of solidified concrete. ———————— On the example of surrender of 3 southern armies I'm unimpressed. Those were SPECIFIC examples of tactical battles on the field that might have resulted in surrender anyway with conditions. You are not really suggesting massive quantitative advantages are inconsequential are you? In fact not having enough things was far more important than U Sur: “ At Appomattox, Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, roughly 26,000 men, was exhausted, starving, and surrounded, with minimal supplies and low morale. On April 9, 1865, Lee surrendered to Grant, effectively ending the Civil War in Virginia.” “ At Appomattox, Lee's Army of Northern Virginia had critically low weapons and ammunition, with many soldiers unarmed or carrying unserviceable rifles due to losses and supply shortages.” ______________________ The reasons why the Allies supported FDR rigid and unfortunate idea of (strict) UN Surr is we were literally supplying the others With the means to fight. If they didn't go along with FDR he might cut them off or reduced it: IMG-1156 ————————————— On separate peace between Germany and the USSR—- Yet they didn't did they? The reason is that while both socialist they were at distinct natural odds with each other as one favored nationalism and the other a world order. (sounds familiar doesn't it?) In fact a German-Soviet pact was a PERFECT match and would have almost guaranteed victory..and still they didn't. In 1941 when German forces launched spearheads deep into the USSR they were shocked at the miles and miles of loaded wagons, trains and trucks carrying goods to Germany. Grain, coal, rubber, ores into the Reich. Hitler was biting the hand that was feeding him so to say. An actual “potato train” from the USSR to Germany, later 1940: IMG-1159 Yet Hitler STILL risked it all and attacked. Why? because they HATED each other. IMG-1157 “Hitler viewed communism as a mortal enemy of National Socialism” “ By 1942, both leaders were locked into a fight to the death, driven by ideology, mistrust, and the war's momentum. The highest likelihood might have been in late 1941, but even then, it was slim—perhaps a 5–10% chance at most, based on Stalin's desperation and Hitler's fleeting interest in pausing the Eastern Front.” And Goebbels, whom I see as the intellectual force behind Hitler, hated communism perhaps even more. IMG-1158 Actually this is a good reason WHY conditional surrender terms from the Western Allies to Germany might have worked. They feared and hated communism and would have likely surrendered with terms (like keeping their army intact on the east on pre-1941 border) to have kept them out. No, in retrospect there was little chance of a separate peace. And the idea of the US or UK making a separate peace from each other isn't worthy of discussion. ————————————- Unconditional surrender in fact was a DISASTER in WW2: 1. It left Japan prostrate allowing the CCP to win in China. This allowed the USA to suffer the Korean and Vietnamese wars, genocides in China, genocides in Cambodia etc “ deaths attributed to communist regimes in Asia since World War II is 35–78 million, with a midpoint of ~55 million” 2. It left Germany in the same state allowing Communism to run wild in Eastern Europe. Ushering in the Cold War and nearly nuclear Armageddon etc. Sir we will never agree. 🙀 And let's not forget my original thesis; Unconditional Surrender demands did not cause ALL deaths and suffering, it allowed NEEDLESS deaths and suffering to continue past what was necessary. Well, well past.

    I’ve heard of them, read about them but this is the first I’ve seen one speak. A anti-lifer , a VHE advocate (voluntary human extinction).

    I’m not a philosopher, I vaguely remember talking a class in 1981. But this guy is a nihilist and more, he believes all life is filled with pain and suffering. That the greatest evil is to bring a child into the world. He calls for the end of humanity.

    Oddly to me he also recognizes nature is full of predators, pain and death. So his solution or hope I suppose is non-existence. A great void of nothingness, all death NO LIFE.

    But nothing is just that, it’s devoid of all merit. How can it be something to endeavor to? How can it be superior or good compared to existence when again it’s nothing?

    You can dismiss him as a fool but know his job is in fact a PROFESSOR in the UK, and I’m sure many like him are here in the USA. He is the type teaching your kids when you pay 10s of thousands of dollars for them to be educated. Then Your kids come back and wear a Bernie shirt and state they are a new gender or never want to have your grandkids and you say “how did that happen?”.

    Well his type happens to them. IMO
