Your kid can't read. Your kid can't do math. But the school taught him twelve genders and how to hate his own country. That's not education. That's indoctrination with a lunch tray.

The key problem with Hamas Piker, is that he's really fucking stupid, and he just doesn't know anything. Like every other socialist in America, he's a faux sophisticate who truly has no grasp of how things work in real life. Of course he doesn't know about Vermont. He DGAF.
Hasan Piker says that single-payer healthcare is "the only solution."
Ezra Klein asks Piker what happened when Vermont tried to implement single-payer.
Piker is not familiar with it.
Klein explains that it fell apart because the hidden costs of the system suddenly become taxes.
Vermont abandoned its single-payer plan in 2014 after finding that it required an 11.5% payroll tax and income taxes as high as 9.5%.

Japan is the way Japan is because it doesn’t have left wingers like you lol
I recently spent two weeks in Japan, and I have to say, the trip really opened my eyes to just how much better we could be doing here in America.
I’m not exaggerating. Some of the differences were shocking.
Here are a few things I noticed:
- In two weeks traveling through some of the most densely populated cities in the world, I saw TWO visibly homeless people. TWO!
I saw just ONE person who appeared to be struggling with drug addiction.
- The high-speed rail system was incredible. Clean, affordable, fast, and efficient. Meanwhile, Americans are still arguing about whether high-speed rail is even worth building.
- I never once felt unsafe walking around with my kids, even in massive cities surrounded by thousands of people.
- There were barely any public trash cans, yet somehow the streets were almost spotless.
- The difference in income inequality was noticeable. The infrastructure, housing, and public services reflected a society that seems to take much more pride in making everyday life work for everyone.
Now, I already know what some people on the right are going to say.
“Japan doesn’t have mass immigration!”
“Japan isn’t run by Democrats!”
OK, but can we stop turning EVERYTHING into a partisan argument for five minutes?
Japan isn’t perfect. It has its own serious problems, and I’m not pretending two weeks makes me an expert on the country.
But what I saw made one thing painfully obvious to me.
We have normalized so many problems in America that we’ve convinced ourselves they’re simply unavoidable.
Homelessness. Dirty streets. Failing infrastructure. Terrible public transportation. People feeling unsafe in their own communities.
Why?
We are one of the wealthiest nations in human history. We have the money. We have the technology. We have the talent.
What we seem to lack is the willingness to stop making excuses and demand better.
I’m proud to be an American. But being proud of your country shouldn’t mean pretending other countries haven’t figured out how to do certain things better.
Patriotism isn’t ignoring America’s problems. It’s wanting America to be better.
And after spending two weeks in Japan, I’m more convinced than ever that we can do a whole lot better.

I personally think the spike in Muslims murdering and raping people is more concerning but what do I know

The REAL story finally came out. And THIS is exactly why I waited before jumping on the outrage bandwagon.
Not only had these individuals pulled the same stupid prank in front of FOUR other Ring cameras before reaching this apartment, but BOTH sides have now acknowledged that they didn’t even know each other. The pranksters didn’t even know the race of the people living inside the apartment.
Now these individuals are being threatened, doxxed, and dragged across the internet. One even left the university.
Was the prank stupid? Absolutely. Does that justify what is happening to them now? NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Imagine living in a world where making monkey noises into a Ring camera can potentially land you in more trouble than k*lling your own THREE CHILDREN.
Imagine living in a world where a woman pulled a stupid prank and is forced to step away from her education, but a MURDERER who admitted to k*lling a student at a track meet is not expelled and is allowed to graduate.
The world is backwards.

He wasn't robbed, he just had his wealth redistributed, according to their need.
Defund the police!

ok this looks bad but it could have been so much worse: the female here could have made animal noises to a closed door in an empty hallway.
🚨 WTF?! Video shows a male student BRUTALLY beating a female student on an Ohio school bus while NOBODY INTERVENES
This should be a national outrage!
The bus was carrying students to Mahoning Valley Community School in Youngstown. He can be seen repeatedly punching her and JUMPING ON HER 😡
The bus driver and aide never stepped in.
Boardman Local Schools has now put the aide ON LEAVE and admits parents weren't told how bad it was until DAYS later
Hold the thug, the driver and the parents accountable!

Mohammed raped a 14 year old girl and got 5 years less time in prison than Russell Brand
Don’t tell me there isn’t a two tier justice system

Six years ago, she warned the world was ending because of climate change.
Now she laughs about it like it was all a joke.
It was always a grift.
Greta Thunberg laughs hysterically when told Fridays for Future, climate change group she founded, still protesting: 'They still do that?' trib.al/NzkW0gv
