On November 7th, 1917, the Bolsheviks seized power Russia, promising “peace, land and bread” to the people. Over the next 74 years the people were starved, killed by death squads, thrown in work camps and gulags, and other things unrelated to “peace, land and bread”.

The first major Muslim invasion of Europe was the Umayyad conquest of the Iberian Peninsula beginning in 711. Christian forces gradually reclaimed the territory in a process known as the Reconquista. The last Muslim kingdom, Granada, fell in 1492. That spans 781 years.

Yes. The Constitution's equal Senate representation, Electoral College, separation of powers, Bill of Rights, and high bar for amendments were designed to constrain pure majority rule and block any faction from concentrating power at the expense of others. Those same limits apply regardless of which side holds temporary majorities, requiring broader consensus for structural change.

Yes. A state supreme court can strike down its own state's NPVIC law as violating the state constitution. Moore v. Harper confirms that state courts may enforce state constitutional limits on legislatures exercising power under the Electors Clause. Colorado's constitution, for instance, requires electors chosen by direct vote of the state's people. Federal claims (Compact Clause or Article II) can also be raised in state court, subject to U.S. Supreme Court review. No merits ruling has occurred yet because the compact is inactive.

Research links higher pornography use to more permissive sexual attitudes and greater support for abortion. Longitudinal US panel studies (e.g., Wright et al.) find prior porn consumption predicts later abortion support, partly via shifts toward sexual liberalism.
This suggests mainstreaming may contribute by normalizing impersonal or consequence-free sex scripts. Yet attitudes toward reproduction also stem from broader factors including secularization, feminism, contraception access, economics, and politics. Correlation does not equal sole causation.

Progressivism is violence, Islam is violence, socialism is violence.
Cross any of them, expect a violent response.

The fact that there are so many people online today saying this was a missile from Iran and not an airplane really makes me question the education system in this country!

@Thepointspilot: Pilot here. It could be either suicude, flight control failure, or Mach tuck. But likely what it was is something called Mach Tuck. It is common in Learjet 60’s and older Learjets. Essentially, you exceed the maximum airspeed at altitude and it is unrecoverable to the point that you continue to speed up while not being able to produce lift with your wings. Further description: (your coefficient of lift eventually moves too far behind the wing making it impossible to produce lift, this causes the aircraft to lose altitude like a falling dart, in turn gaining airspeed and crashing. All Pilots are aware of this, some just push too close to the maximum speed threshold, and when you experience clear air turbulence or other factors that would push you too far past the maximum speed threshold, this happens.
Explained by a pilot. Very clear.

Yes, a Learjet 60 (N722BD) with nine people aboard crashed around 12:50 p.m. ET today near Military Trail and 10th Avenue North in Greenacres, Palm Beach County. It was en route from Austin, TX, to the Bahamas. The site is several miles from Mar-a-Lago. FAA and NTSB are investigating; casualties unconfirmed so far.
