Squatting in a private residence should be considered home invasion and lawful to evict by force of arms. The right to private property is basic to personal freedom.

DUI should mean a permanent ban from ALL public employment, local, federal and military. Drunk drivers don't care who they kill and are fundamentally irresponsible.

There is no excuse for failure to say ANTI-JUDAISM instead of "anti-Semite" which ignores every other Semite. To imply no other peoples are Semites is ethnicist and racist. Of course no one in TYT management reads the comments and this insulting error will not be corrected. Precise speech matters.

Gaza have the option to surrender but they prefer to hide among civlians. They built tunnels with construction aid, build Qassams with water pipe, and their civilians helped because massive projects requiring collective effort don't happen by magic.

Sane celebrities should stay as as far away from young people as practical. For example smart rappers have their crew filter the waterfall of thots and some have them sign consent forms because NO ONE can be trusted. Anyone who wants to get personally close to a celeb wants money, fame or sex, there being no other logical motives. Guilty or not guilty it's utterly stupid not to curate who you allow in your space.

Kissinger didn't order the bombing Cambodia nor was he even in position to command troops Please hire historically literate copy writers. The phrase "his bombing" is not ambiguous. He supported the policy during a global existential conflict with the Soviet Union/Warsaw Pact and Maoist China. Mistakes were made but erring on the side of deleting Communists is no vice. Like it or not most of the policies he shaped were useful in stemming the expansion of Soviet and Maoist proxies in a war with global thermonuclear stakes. His generation saved Western culture and secular democracy from Soviets and Maoists.

Cite the case. Assertions should contain supporting evidence assuming we still practice Western civilization. The burden of proof, onus probandi, is always on those making assertions and including proof bolsters their contention.

No wonder skilled capable people are not attracted to education. Hiring standards are already low and it's still hard to fill teaching slots with US-born teachers. I don't blame them a bit. I wouldn't want co-workers like that fraudster either.

If it's not STEM it's a joke because education is for profit else borrowing to pay for it is a terrible choice. Fund useful education only, not "recreation" so the taxpayers get a capable workforce out of the deal to fund their Social Security. What the economy does not demand should not be gifted. Loaning someone who is months out of childhood and has no job that much money for anything else is absurd.

@basspig The US is huge. Don't live in NYC! So easy. I left that area years ago. Since when should everyone be able to live where they cannot afford to live? That's absurd.

@nursynikki When you have years of your life to leave, you can leave if you are dead serious.

Only fundamentalists are true believers, the rest are hobbyists wanting a social club. This is awkward for apologists on either side of the political aisle because it makes most of them uncomfortable. True religion is not weak and gentle except between the deserving faithful. The rest get the sword on their way to hell.

No one in their right mind in Egypt wants that invasion. A nations ONLY duty is to ITS OWN people, the rest is charity. The fate of people not one's own is mostly academic. Outsiders don't care about Egypt, they care either about Israel or Hamas. Egypt saw what happened in Jordan and wisely does not want a repeat on its own soil.

How many have that option? I did at a community college (a decent gig but without much career progression) but individual examples of success do not invalidate enormous numbers who don't have my lifetime of good luck.

Copeland CHOSE to publish the quoted pictures in full knowledge (as a pastor you don't get an excuse) that his conduct towards his congregation was hypocrisy. REposting internet content originally FREELY posted by the creator is no crime.

Cannabis permits me to use (much) lower opiate pain medicine dosage so I function far better than otherwise and can sometimes manage to sleep. I'm a disabled USAF veteran with upper and lower spinal damage and a dominant side shoulder replacement with nerve impingement so bad a layperson can see it when I weld or write. I got the idea from my even more damaged vetbros and sisters for whom it also works for PTSD. My damage is progressive and I will be fully crippled in a few years, yet prohibitionists santimoniously work to deny the public a NATURAL substance used for thousands of years while doing nothing about nicotine (whose body count dwarfs the total of all US war and crime casualties).

If the Hamas attack happened on US soil the country it came from would be made a memorable example of. One cannot expect enemy civilians to matter to adults (other than outside spectators pontificating from ivory towers). In cultural struggle the concept of innocence is irrelevant which is why Hamas and Israel pay mere lip service to it. This difference of opinion will only end when one side is destroyed so pick a side and own that choice without pretending your chosen opponents matter, at all, because in real life they do not matter to each other nor should they in an existential conflict. Both sides require mutually exclusive ethost8s. War will decide who gets the prize and until the perpetual low-level war with surges will remain normal by mutual consent.

Now a key Leftist subgroup famous for its transactional exploitation of the civil rights movement has become politically unfashionable. Political conflict can only accelerate. It would be hilarious if division split the 2024 vote re-electing Donald Trump.

Why do windowlickers associate every government function with the POTUS? Rikers is not a Federal prison. Also why care what happens to inmates? It's too bad they survive to prey (again) on those of use who are good.

What does that mean in English? Military self-help unit projects are normally done by volunteers and save Uncle Sugar money because they don't require a contractor etc etc. I've done some while I was in and they made life much better at unit level. Not everything has an endless money spigot. Procurement comes before Operations and Maintenance comes before unit quality of life. There being thousands of talented G.I.s with our own tools and equipment who volunteer it works out nicely.

Silly acid casualty doesn't know the correct meaning of "false flag" in English. Why anyone cares what a non-expert thinks of anything outside his own specialty is a mystery but most humans are rather stupid. Presumption of Israeli competence needs to end, like presumption of US military competence after multiple failures in constabulary operations. The image of the IDF is very much a product of people with PERSONAL interest in promoting it. OTOH we see what disastrous reliance on sensors instead of HUMAN border pickets properly equipped for their task got them. It will be interesting to see if any military careers suffer for that military leadership failure.

Any such diagnosis will trigger many threatened high functioning Level 1s. I took interest in some of my "narrowly awesome but otherwise socially impaired" creative bros who do superbly at their crafts in ways normies do not generally manage. Being a non-"foamer" railroad buff I've met a few there too. Level 1 is emphatically NOT "crazy" on its own but it can have observable effects especially when someone so afflicted is easily triggered by things which do not trigger normies, become angry when questioned normally (especially about something outside the scope of their real abilities in regions where they presume competence but are obviously haven't a clue). Level 1s who are high functioning often have low self-awareness. Story time because this works better than dry dead terms: My bro is brilliant at a particular branch of military history with a superb grasp of detail such that he has a fair number of senior officers rightly taking him seriously on his key specialty. The challenge is he presumes the same (VERY) high competence elsewhere and has the following symptoms: Messianic religiosity in which he's the sole valid believer (a Christian sect of one, himself) and instantly freaks out when (calmly and with utmost diplomacy) queried about any logical or reasoned support (despite superior competence in his military field of specific interest). He unironically references inappropriate "humor" attempting to mimic humor but has zero idea how wit works. He has rather odd, messianic social ideas such that Putin appeals to him. When I asked why he preferred Putin (he is unable to study history in other than highly mechanistic ways without social insight) he said "Putin seems stoic and moral". He managed to be an expert on war yet immune to social/political understanding. The are plenty more like him. He's kind, generous, otherwise decent but in that respect the lay term "batshit crazy" is not an exaggeration. His type is startlingly common once you are alert for them. Putin's skill and will likewise enabled his high competence (mastering Soviet then post-Soviet structures) at which he is of course outstanding. Putin's failures likewise are due to his apparently compulsive narrow perspective. How does a former FSB agent trained to understand humans manage to reconcile the epic graft he had to know about with maintaining the very armed forces he relies on for his power and legacy? Ukraine demonstrates he wasn't even cunning and there is no 3D chess in play. I'll gently suggest to the offended they NOT take it personally BUT carefully learn about the subject (not presume anything based on their experience or ANYTHING personal which impairs perception of others) because if you're high functioning yet also aware you can use your advantages over normies to adapt to your reality. Many skilled and creative people have a bit of Aspie (self included!) but if you're able to self-guide through self-awareness your life can be quite rewarding. There's no need to become a normie but learning mimicry (after first learning why it's useful) can serve you well as it serves others. Observing Putin's choices over time is more instructive by far than observing his trained FSB simulated stoicism and (traditional, deliberate) Russian cultural preferences for facial expressions. I watched for many years and his actions fit a pattern of narrow high competence, blaming others he installed for decisions anyone capable of social insight would not have hired to run the armed forces, firing reformers, and generally behaving like my bros. (This is not tied to conventional "good" or "evil" which are subjective, but to functional performance. Putin demands unconditional affirmation which has obvious problems when dealing with humans of vastly greater subject matter expertise. (Putin fired Russian military reformers.) BTW those who don't get what I just wrote would be happier ignoring it so do that and toddle off happy and self-affirmed. The above is not intended for you and you'll be comfortable skipping it.

It's childish (that means stupid) to imagine that Hamas are not wildly popular and do not represent Palestine. The US Left naturally hates Israel and was cheerleading every Jihadist group against Israel. It will continue to do so.

Russia is the ontological enemy of Western civilization and Putin wants to revive the Soviet Union he grew up serving. Revenge alone is ample justification for US support of every enemy of the Kremlin considering nearly every US casualty after WWII is connected indirectly or directly to Russian support for our opponents. There is more to defending the West than US partisan squabbles. I was alive before the Berlin Wall came down and stationed in West Germany. Lest we forget anyone trying to flee to the West over, through or under that barrier was shot unless they lucked out. Russia has not changed, only been temporarily weakened. Eastern Europe is not ruled by the US Democratic party. It resists Russia because it's been invaded by Russia more than once. The Ukrainian PEOPLE are collectively resisting Russia. All governments are corrupt because humanity is corrupt (and greedy and stupid) by nature. That does not mean a nation should welcome invasion by an enemy which murdered millions of its people in living memory (the Stalinist era). Russia also supports Israel's enemies Hezbollah, Iran and Syria. No version of Russia was ever good.

Specialty equipment focused on Iran is not MEANT to monitor local attacks from other directions. It's to monitor specific areas for ballistic missle launches and a ballistic missile flies a different path than a short-range cheap Qassam. Military illiteracy is inexcusable in 2023 especially by people who should be informed. Remember radar does not SHOOT DOWN missiles and the US base is not tasked with interception which is not the same as intel collection. The Israeli radar system is for monitoring inbound LOCAL missiles. Integrated defense systems like Iron Dome and Patriot have that mission. It's incorrect to assert the US system somehow failed. YT don't care since this is all about drama.

Slow news day much? All the important things going on in NY and THIS is seen as worth covering? JFC... They did a "self help" project AT THEIR OWN RISK in a building generations had worked in without dying. Self-help projects have been common (but with authorized unit funds) in the armed forces for many decades. Other government orgs have plenty of skilled DIYers so why not use them? They save money on break rooms, snack bars (12+ hour shifts require coffee and snacks to keep workers functional) and other useful facility upgrades. Rikers has always been a hellhole and them improving some of it for temp use before it gets demo'ed is not a big deal.

It's absurd to expect affordable housing in areas where everyone wants to live, so I don't live there. The US is enormous.
