Republicans struggling with bigotry among younger conservatives
www.yahoo.com
... Some Republicans have raised alarm bells at the growing number of young conservatives who have been influenced by far-right online personalities that espouse negative opinions of Jewish people, women, people of color and more.
Streamers and podcasters who have been accused of sharing such views, such as Nick Fuentes, Myron Gaines and others, have grown in popularity over the last few years " appealing to a younger bloc of conservatives disgruntled with traditional politics.
"We don't think Hitler is, like, the worst person ever," Alec Beaton, a 23-year-old former Trump campaign staffer, told the Washington Post at a national young conservatives conference. Beaton added that he praises Adolf Hitler to "mess with people."
Fuentes, a 27-year-old white nationalist with a Rumble platform of more than 600k, said during a recent stream that women "just lie and they're whores. Not all of them ... but it is a serious problem."
Gaines, a 36-year-old streamer, podcaster and author of a book titled Why Women Deserve Less, wrote on X in October, "Yeah we like Hitler. No one gives a f*** what you woke jews think anymore." ...

Men At Work - It's a Mistake (1983)

Lyrics excerpt...
...
[Verse 1]
Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cockin' up their guns
Tell us general, is it party time?
If it is, can we all come?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't think that we don't know
Don't think that we're not trying
Don't think we move too slow
It's no use after crying
[Chorus]
Saying it's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
[Verse 2]
After the laughter has died away
And all the boys have had their fun
No surface noise now, not much to say
They got the bad guys on the run
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't try to say you're sorry
Don't say he drew his gun
They've gone and grabbed old Ronnie
He's not the only one

Saying it's a mistake
It's a mistake

[Verse 3]
Tell us, commander, what do you think?
'Cos we know that you love all that power
Is it on then, are we on the brink?
We wish you'd all throw in the towel
[Pre-Chorus 3]
We'll not fade out too soon
Not in this finest hour
Whistle your favourite tune
We'll send a card and flower
[Chorus]
Saying it's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake
It's a mistake, oh
[Outro]
It's a mistake (It's a mistake)
It's a mistake (It's a mistake)
It's a mistake (It's a mistake)
It's a mistake (It's a mistake)
It's a mistake (It's a mistake)
It's a mistake (It's a mistake)
It's a mistake, it's a mistake
(It's a mistake)

Carrier USS Gerald R. Ford Arrives in Souda Bay for Repairs After Laundry Room Fire
news.usni.org
... USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) pulled into port at Souda Bay, Greece, the Navy announced Monday.
Ford, the flagship of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, is in port for maintenance and repairs following a March 12 fire in the aft laundry room.
A ship spotter saw Ford and three destroyers head into the Suez Canal on Saturday. A replenishment ship also accompanied the aircraft carrier. It's unclear whether the destroyers also finished the transit north through the Suez.
Ford is scheduled for more than a week of repairs, USNI News previously reported. The Navy's Monday announcement did not say how long Ford is expected to be in port.
"The aircraft carrier remains fully mission capable," reads the Navy statement. "The port call allows for the ship to undergo efficient assessment, repairs and resupply."
More than 200 sailors were treated for smoke inhalation, with one sailor medically evacuated from the carrier, after being injured in the damage control effort. Two others were treated for lacerations, USNI News reported.
The smoke damage from the laundry room fire extended to the berthing. The Navy took 1,000 mattresses off the future USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) in Newport News, Va., to send to Ford. More than 100 racks were lost in the fire, a Pentagon spokesman told USNI News. ...

...
The subject of the song, the injustice suffered by Australian Aboriginal people and the need to repay the debt that generations of settlers owe them, is one of the reasons for its success.
[Pre-Chorus]
The time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our share
The time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back
[Chorus]
How can we dance when our earth is turnin'?
How do we sleep while our beds are burnin'?
