There is a term floating around online right now that you might not understand. But plenty of people in MAGA know exactly what it means to be “black-pilled.” What exactly is it? Well, it means to slide past skepticism and frustration into full-on defeatism. It’s when somebody gets so demoralized, disgusted, or convinced the system is broken beyond repair that they stop thinking clearly and start believing everything is hopeless.Right now, that mindset is gaining traction. The Iran situation has put many people on edge, and fairly so. There’s real fear, distrust, and a lot of emotional baggage because Americans have seen this movie before. They’ve watched presidents

Not sure what is going on or what to expect or how to prepare but I will soldier on. I do admire the dems in that they have cut out the middleman and are allowing the middle east chaos to enter the country and move into your neighborhood. Then ignoring all the crap these people are trying to foist upon us. Send them back to where they came from. Also found that the progressives were furious with Trump when he said he would bomb them and they were furious when he said lets go with a two week ceasefire. Damned if you do damned if you don't.

What people have watched over the last sixty years is a government willing to get into a war with no objective or will of actually wanting to win the war. It became a money-making business for those in government and those with connections to government. The people being sent to fight did all they could with their hands tied behind their backs with rules of engagement. These conflicts never seemed to have an objective or an end. Is it any wonder why the American people are skeptical of any military involvement of any kind when much of the population has never experienced a military victory that did the country any good.

I support Trump. I have no reservations about his actions on Iran. For the mass number of idiots in this country, I fully understand why the founders set up a republic, and not a democracy.

I support the war in Iran, but I want it done. I want the Mullahs out of there, I want Irans constant threats and terrorism stopped. What worries me most is TDS. Half of this country is suffering from it and it is damaging us as a country. For all the good things Donald Trump he has done he has yet to get any recognition from Democrats. All they can do is pizz and moan.

Well #5, sorry to tell you this but Trump is not the first GOP President to be so virulently hated— although earlier haters may have been a tad less obvious. I lived through Reagan, Bush l, and Bush ll, and I can tell you they were just as hated as Trump It has nothing to do with anything except the Lefty desire for absolute naked power and control. The only choice we have is to completely and utterly crush the Lefties. Don’t know if we can do it but we sure have to try.

If totalitarian socialism is not crushed and exterminated, the future looks grim for the US. Due to the lack of concern and/or ignorance on the part of a vast number of residents in the US, malevolent progressives keep getting elected to positions of power. Is there a cure for that? Societal collapse is a group effort. that drags the good down along with the banal and the clueless. I am not optimistic, and I fear for my children.

OREM, Utah — Detectives investigating the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk seized ammunition, computers, and a DNA sample from the suspect, according to search warrants. The warrants reviewed by FOX 13 News also recite a note the suspect, Tyler J. Robinson, allegedly left for his roommate. The two had a romantic relationship. The roommate then gave a copy to an FBI agent, the warrants say.“Luna, if you are reading this per my text, then I am so sorry,” the note begins. “I left the house this morning on a mission, and set an auto text. “I am likely dead, or facing a lengthy prison sentence

You almost have to admire how far some Republicans are willing to go to lose the 2026 midterms — and ultimately, the country. Throughout their recent two-week vacation, several GOP lawmakers have been making the media rounds to tout “bipartisan” legislation they claim will finally solve America’s broken immigration system. There’s just one teensy-weensy important detail that somehow gets brushed aside: The bill would allow millions of illegal aliens to continue living in the United StatesSponsored by Reps.

Republican Mike Lawler is trying to pull off one of the oldest tricks in the Swamp, and he’s using the left’s playbook to do it. Lawler is taking amnesty, dressing it up in soft compassion, slapping a warm and fuzzy “marketing” name on it, and hoping voters are dumb enough not to notice. That’s exactly what the so-called “Dignity Act” is. It’s massive amnesty with a brand new makeover, but no amount of spin is going to change what it really is.(snip)The people who’ve been here illegally for years aren’t more sympathetic because they managed to stick around longer.

On Colorado highways, it’s now illegal

Posted by Big Bopper 4/10/2026 4:12:22 PM Post Reply
In Colorado, the highest posted speed limit is 75 mph. I can live with that, even though I think 85 mph might be better and perhaps just as safe. This speed limit of 75 means that it’s against the law to go faster than that. Trust me on this, I used to be a lawyer. But now, Colorado has announced that if you go the 75-mph speed limit in the left lane, or even if you violate the speed limit by going 85 mph, and people stack up behind you who want to go 95, then you’re violating the law by impeding traffic. And you’ll be ticketed for it.

That idea, of course, was lost long ago as the lust for “diversity” and “multiculturalism” overtook the political and media elites, but up until Old Joe Biden opened the floodgates to any sentient being that could be relied upon to vote Democrat, most Americans took for granted the idea that people who settled in this country should obey the existing laws.

President Donald Trump slammed Iran Thursday night for doing a "very poor job," of letting oil pass through the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf. The United States and Iran reached a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday that was contingent on Iran reopening the Strait, which is a critical waterway where about 20% of the world's oil passed through before the conflict broke out in February. "Iran is doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz," Trump posted on Truth Social. "That is not the agreement we have!"

What does this mean? Perhaps Donald Trump's latest statement is meant to paraphrase a line from the most worthwhile Star Wars film: You have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it further. Sometime in the next few hours, talks will begin in Islamabad between the US and Iran in an attempt to end the war. Trump agreed to a two-week cease-fire that stopped a massive American attack on energy and transportation infrastructure in exchange for a full re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz and an end to Iranian missile and drone attacks.

federal judge ruled Thursday that the Pentagon cannot impose its new press restrictions, which he claimed was an effort to negate his previous order. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman last month dismissed parts of the Pentagon's guidelines released last year and ordered it to restore the press passes of seven journalists for the New York Times. The War Department then changed its protocols late last month for its media briefing room, which includes the relocation of reporters to workspace outside the Pentagon. It also closed the correspondents' corridor within the Pentagon.

The State of Minnesota requires schools to allow boys to compete in girls’ sports. It also requires schools to allow teenage boys to shower with the girls, and otherwise avail themselves of girls’ locker rooms. This is not, to put it mildly, a popular policy, especially with the parents of teenage girls. But Minnesota’s DFL party defends it doggedly. It gets worse: the federal government has sued Minnesota, alleging that the state’s anti-girl policies violate Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments. That lawsuit potentially could cost Minnesota up to $3 billion in federal education funding. But none of that matters to Minnesota’s Democrats.

Ortiz was found guilty on nine counts of assault and battery and not guilty on three counts. The judge dismissed one count against Ortiz. All of the charges were misdemeanors. Ortiz is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador who entered the United States in 2024. He is currently an eleventh-grader at Fairfax County High School.
