so fucking true!

At the conclusion of the trial of Lindsay Clancy, I may have to write an opinion piece myself on my verdict.

Add The Best and The Brightest by David Halberstam for number 10. Also, in no particular order!

Just planned out the next ten books I hope to read by the beginning of next summer (given my semesters of schooling and other duties in the coming year). Very good list!

Okay, but literally only the last two are good; the first one is retarded: why delete the data at all?

Going to begin reading Bill Clinton’s 2004 memoirs probably next week. Then, the 9/11 Commission Report. Then, summer is over— wow.

Can you imagine supporting abolishing the electoral college and other forms of Republican government in favor of universal democracy? Gross, populism is and always has been— all the way back to Jefferson and Jackson— totally disgusting and perverse. I oppose excessive tax cuts for the wealthy and favor a social safety net and active government role in improving lives, but can you imagine being in favor of government run healthcare, wealth redistribution, and opposing tariffs? What the fuck. Left-wing economics is retarded. And that’s not including their social views on pro-LGBT, pro-abortion, anti-White, open borders and pro-amnesty views, normalization of political violence, etc. Fuck the Left.

One of my favorite speeches ever.

People might not like me to say this: but George W. Bush demonstrated incredible leadership in the aftermath of 9/11 to protect the homeland, unify the Country, and heal the soul of America through an image of consolation and strength in our darkest days. I disagree with his decision about the war in Iraq, but let us never forget that he was right to adopt the Patriot Act, open Guantanamo Bay, and go after the Radical Islamic terrorists in the Middle East swiftly and decisively. In that respect, and regarding his success in banning partial birth abortion and seeking a constitutional amendment to defend marriage between one man and one woman— something Trump would never dream of— we were infinitely better off with him than Al Gore in the White House. Also, people forget but Bush won the 2000 Republican primary because he was the pragmatic and compassionate but principled social conservative over McCain and less hawkish on foreign policy than both McCain and Gore; he literally condemned nation building in the presidential debates and said we were overstretched militarily.

Went to the movies this evening to watch The Brink of War with my grandfather, about Reagan’s summit with Gorbachev at Reykjavík, Iceland in October 1986. Really makes me reflect on the importance of the foreign policy leadership of presidents! For real: thank God for Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush who helped us win the Cold War through their peace through strength, anti-communist, and prudent diplomacy in the 1980s. Very important for America! Reagan built up the military to bring the Soviets to the table, was willing to walk away from a deal for our strategic defense abilities (particularly SDI) when the Russians pushed him, and Bush refused to “dance on the Berlin Wall” once it was torn down in 1989– instead opting to show restraint and thus develop the diplomatic capital necessary to get Gorbachev to agree to the reunification of Germany, arms control and reduction deals, and even to agree to support our intervention in pushing Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait in the Persian Gulf War! These were statesmen— particularly Bush. Remember what he wisely said in his 1992 RNC address: We have a lot to be proud of, a lot. Some want to rewrite history, want to skip over the struggle, claim the outcome was inevitable. And while the U.S. postwar strategy was largely bipartisan, the fact remains that the liberal McGovern wing of the other party, including my opponent, consistently made the wrong choices. In the seventies, they wanted a hollow army. We wanted a strong fighting force. In the eighties -- and you remember this one -- in the eighties, they wanted a nuclear freeze, and we insisted on peace through strength. From Angola to Central America, they said, "Let's negotiate, deliberate, procrastinate." We said, "Just stand up for freedom." Now the cold war is over, and they claim, "Hey, we were with you all the way." You know, their behavior reminds me of the old con man's advice to the new kid. He said, "Son, if you're being run out of town, just get out in front and make it look like a parade." Well, make no mistake: The demise of communism wasn't a sure thing. It took the strong leadership of Presidents from both parties, including Republicans like Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan. Without their vision and the support of the American people, the Soviet Union would be a strong superpower today, and we'd be facing a nuclear threat tonight. My opponents say I spend too much time on foreign policy, as if it didn't matter that schoolchildren once hid under their desks in drills to prepare for nuclear war. I saw the chance to rid our children's dreams of the nuclear nightmare, and I did. Over the past 4 years, more people have breathed the fresh air of freedom than in all of human history. I saw a chance to help, and I did. These were the two defining opportunities not of a year, not of a decade, but of an entire span of human history. I seized those opportunities for our kids and our grandkids, and I make no apologies for that.

I had an autographed letter from Congressman Seth Moulton of Massachusetts— now running for Senate against Ed Markey— somewhere in my house from back in the summer of 2019 when he was running for president, but I can’t find it now, sadly. I’m not endorsing anyone!

Lindsey Clancy’s fans have raised over $700k for her after she killed her three children while on a cocktail of prescribed psychiatric drugs. https://x.com/AFpost/status/2089129618485768688

I don’t like this guy and I wouldn’t have confirmed him for multiple reasons! https://youtu.be/ovwCBL3NVWE?is=FzoOZB_pYXKrnz0g

I like Pete Buttigieg more than Wes Moore, even though he’s gay and I won’t vote for either— especially a scandalizing sodomite. I can’t stand when these Democrats do their performative outrage to Trump and Republicans— and Josh Shapiro does it, too, which is intolerable. Newsom, of course, is the king of this. Fuck that.

Wow, I hope he’s totally cooked https://youtu.be/gUup-tOhcs4?is=qJ5a66QmizfjpMDG
