“How thoughtful of God to arrange matters so that, wherever you happen to be born, the local religion always turns out to be the true one.” — Richard Dawkins

“Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is the man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.” — Homer

“Practice any art… no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.” - McKellen reciting Vonnegut

True.

“Bodily vigor is good, and vigor of intellect is even better, but far above is character.” — Theodore Roosevelt

The "strength in strength" philosophy is very old. Thucydides recorded it in 416 BC. The Athenians, negotiating with the people of Melos before massacring them, said: "The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must." The Athenians were at the height of their power when they said it. Within thirteen years, Athens had been defeated by Sparta, its empire dismantled, its navy destroyed in Sicily in one of the greatest military catastrophes in ancient history. The Melians, whose entire male population Athens had killed and whose women and children Athens had enslaved, were eventually resettled. The Athenian empire is gone. The philosophy of strength in strength has been restated, with fresh confidence, by every dominant power in the history of human civilization. Every one of them is gone. The people they applied it to are, in most cases, still here. This is not a coincidence. This is the central pattern of history that the "strength in strength" philosophy is specifically designed to make you unable to see. Because if you could see it, you would notice that the philosophy has an almost perfect track record. Of eventually being wrong.

The family of a child who was repeatedly raped by a man who Ken Paxton let off with no new jail time is speaking out: “The fact that Attorney General Ken Paxton allowed this man to get away with molesting and sexually abusing [our] son for three years is completely disqualifying. Adam Hoffman could have faced life in prison. Instead, Ken Paxton and his office offered him a deal that kept him off the sex-offender registry and included no new jail time.”

@Pappapyoung @theliamnissan Red hats love to lie to themselves about their Epstein Mafia cult leader’s failures. This is nothing new.

Lara Trump: “I wish people would appreciate how much easier Donald Trump’s life would’ve been if he'd never gotten involved in politics. He's the one President to leave the White House with less money than he went into it with”

WOW. Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, now hitting $6.5 billion. And that’s before we even get to how much his rich friends and big-money donors have made off his presidency. Remember that next time he brags about donating his presidential salary.

Ken Paxton gave a plea deal to lawyer Adam Hoffman, his friend, for raping a boy (his son’s friend) over three years starting in third grade. Instead of a felony and sex offender registration, Hoffman gets only 30 days in prison and no registration.🤬

@BloodyRedBaron @Pro__Trading It was a red hat on the roof. It was a red hat in the bushes. It was a red hat who attacked Paul Pelosi. It was a red hat who killed Hortman. It was a right winger who killed CK.

@DD_Geopolitics @OthmerBarbara Most of Donald’s cabinet is in the Epstein files, right alongside the red hat cult leader.

If they’re willing to attack the US Capitol, beat up law-enforcement officials, threaten to kill the vice president, and try violently to stop the legitimate and democratic transfer of power, imagine what else they might do.
