TO BE FAIR, LIBERALISM’S SOLUTIONS USUALLY MAKE THINGS WORSE: Mark Judge: Liberalism’s Cure for the Man Crisis Makes Men Worse.

#JOURNALISM:

The Daily Beast is literally evil.
"Vets plead with Ron DeSantis to stop killing them"?
Then you look at it, and it's a DEATH ROW MURDERERS who just happened to have served in the military at some point.
No matter how much you hate the media, they deserve worse. https://t.co/vhbVBsc4qW

SINCE PROGRESSIVES DON’T HAVE THEIR OWN KIDS, THEY REPRODUCE BY RUINING YOURS:

A remarkable admission from an editor at NY Magazine: a lot of what passes as “therapy” is just encouraging kids to “complain to another adult” about their parents.

That’s why progressives are keen to get every kid into therapy: so they can reeducate other people’s children. https://t.co/3RyzfN0pm6

WELL, IT’S THE THEATER KIDS ON THE LEFT:

The Left have no viable alternatives. No viable Palestinian state, no alternative to NATO, no way to keep the Red Sea open, no Indo Pacific fleet. What they do have is a lot of talking heads. So they'll use that.

NONLETHAL: Meet the Taser Pulse 2 – Shockingly Effective. “The TASER Pulse 2 uses replaceable cartridges that are similar to what people may know on law enforcement models. TASER advertises a 15-foot effective range, and the cartridges can be removed to utilize the Pulse 2 as a contact device. The max output of a Pulse 2 is 50,000 Volts, which seems like a lot; however, in practice, Taser advertises that only about 2,000 volts enter the human body when deployed in most cases. This voltage is output in a very low current, precise waveform that TASER uses to claim their energy weapons ‘are tested and proven to have a reliable cardiac safety profile.'”

THIS IS WHAT PROGRESSIVE POLITICS LOOKS LIKE:

Imagine getting roughed up by six hooligans' while protecting a woman, a manly act most directly associated with chivalric conduct, only to be called 'incel' by a guy who looks like he eats bananas for the shape and not the taste.
