In 1889, a biologist named William Hornaday counted every bison he could find in North America. His number was 1,091. 60 years earlier, somewhere between 30 and 60 million bison had moved across the Great Plains in herds so large they took days to pass. The sound of their movement could be heard from miles away. The Lakota, Comanche, Blackfoot, and dozens of other nations had built entire cultures around them. Then the deliberate government policy of extermination to starve those nations into submission and industrial hunting with repeating rifles reduced that number to 1,091 in the span of a single human lifetime. Their recovery was driven by a handful of private citizens, ranchers, conservationists, and later public agencies who gathered and protected some of the last surviving animals before they disappeared. Theodore Roosevelt, William Hornaday, and others helped found the American Bison Society in 1905. Small herds in protected areas slowly grew. Yellowstone became especially important because it was the only place in the lower 48 where wild, free-ranging bison persisted into the 20th century. By 1902, poachers had reduced its wild herd to about two dozen animals, but the Army stepped in to protect those survivors while also adding bison from private herds. There are now hundreds of thousands of bison in North America, but most are in commercial or private herds managed largely for meat production. Only a small fraction are managed primarily for conservation, and fewer still live as wild, free-ranging bison on large landscapes where they can migrate, graze, wallow, and reshape prairie ecosystems. The recovery is real and incomplete simultaneously. A species that nearly vanished within living memory exists in numbers that would have seemed impossible in 1889. The land that shaped them, and that they shaped, is mostly gone. Both things are true and neither cancels the other. But the bison is still here.

Video📹; The oyo school children finally released…Thank you His Excellency peter obi for continuously reminding and pushing the incompetent government…. Thank you Nigerians for not relenting… Insecurity has truly done us dirty….May affliction not arise again🤦🏼 https://t.co/e7irMAChH7

One has to wonder what the Ottomans were thinking. They created a military force capable of easily defeating every other force in their empire, but composed it entirely of racial enemies and deliberately chose not to fully convert them to Islam. You would think there might be negative consequences for doing something like this - and there were! Roughly every five minutes, the Janissary corps, who were raised specifically to care for nothing but money, would decide they weren't being paid enough, and would ravage the entire empire, execute half of the government, and order the Sultan to double their wages at saber point. It was perhaps the most foolish system ever devised, but the Sultans were simply too scared of the Janissaries to ever do anything about it. One of the greatest self-owns in all of human history.

Why can’t we have people in politics who talk sense . Is that too much to ask xx https://t.co/PDKVFt67Vk

That’s not how this works, Adam. Individual provinces yanked US booze. The other issue is this is a personal thing for Canadians. Not a government mandate. There’s no legislating Canadians into buying anything American. You should be smart enough to know that. https://t.co/A0kgIeUd5b

Most of these losers who express approval for Hamas never lived under an authoritarian and tyrannical government like Hamas. This is absolutely delusional behaviour for them to support Hamas. Performative clowns. https://t.co/YsMdjh1p8d

if i owe you a text back just imagine what i owe the government

Our government quietly paid Families for Vaccine-Autism damage while publicly denying link. A report reveals the federal government has been quietly compensating families MILLIONS of dollars for vaccine injuries in children who developed autism, despite publicly denying any vaccine-autism link.

You people are not happy those kids were rescued? You'd prefer they kill them all so you can hold it against the government. Politics should not make you this heartless nau. Haba

🚨🇭🇺Huge protest in Budapest, Hungary against the government of new PM Péter Magyar! Hungarian patriots gathered to protest against the new government, which has completely surrendered to EU control. "We don’t want migration, we don’t want LGBTQ ideology, we don’t want wars." https://t.co/z75UVhHESP

The Constitution of the United States does not allow the government to trade our liberty for "safety and convenience".

"That's one of the lessons from the Holocaust apparently we didn't learn. It's not a good idea to give your government the power to kill people it considers useless." Tucker Carlson lays it out, then drops the 2010 Bill Gates clip where he openly floats "death panels" — deciding whether it's worth keeping certain people alive because of the cost. Could this actually be happening right now with expanding euthanasia laws?

Some Special Forces Soldiers are here on social media. Quiet accounts. No noise. No fanfare. Yet these are the men the government calls when the mission is almost impossible. Sometimes I wonder what goes through their minds when they see people casually belittle the Nigerian military and the sacrifices made daily to keep the country safe.

Comment (Owen Shroyer): "It's crazy that the White House is posting videos of alien space craft in flight and nobody seems to care." https://t.co/DqTTqQWK0q Response: The Roswell incident occurred back in July, 1947. Since then, there have allegedly been many UFO/UAP incidents including sightings and eyewitness reports, some from military personnel and even astronauts. But in nearly 80 years, the government has provided neither hard proof nor even convincing confirmation of a single one of them. In fact, they've all turned into a mushy pile of rumor and hearsay buried under layer on layer of denials, dismissals, conflicting explanations, and blurry, faked-looking photos. And to ice the cake, It's all been "classified". Classifying and then lying about this kind of thing for the sake of "national security" might still sound justifiable to some people - it comes down to "We have to make sure the public doesn't get a single bit of solid information on this for its own good!" But in this case, it has an obvious down side: eventually, everyone else classifies it as 80 years of nonstop hogwash. It's like the boy who cried "Wolf!" too many times, and was therefore eventually dismissed as a pint-sized con artist. And that's where it now stands and will probably continue to stand. Yes, there may be a few staged special-effects extravaganzas and a wave of scary reports from the media by way of "official disclosure", but nothing that can't be explained away as usual. The important thing - what we really need to face up to - is that the government behaves as though it's being secretly controlled by evil space aliens that have nothing in common with earthlings let alone responsible citizens. That's backed up by decades of hard proof, and therefore remains actionable.

Reform led Suffolk County Council will fly all flags at half mast on Monday to honour Ann Widdecombe. Every council in Britain should follow their lead and show respect to a former politician whose death is being investigated as a suspected murder. Politics should never strip away our basic humanity.

If you think liberals steal elections and control the weather but also let Republicans control all three branches of government, you may be f*cking stupid beyond repair.

On This Day — July 10, 1940 France didn’t just fall. It enthusiastically sold out its Jews to the Nazis. On this day, the French National Assembly voted to hand full dictatorial powers to Marshal Philippe Pétain, creating the collaborationist Vichy regime — a government that went far beyond what the Germans demanded. Vichy didn’t wait for orders. It eagerly passed its own antisemitic laws, stripped Jews of citizenship, banned them from professions, seized their property, and marked them with yellow stars. French police rounded up Jews — including thousands of refugees who had fled to France — with shocking efficiency. In this photo: Jews arrested during the 1942 Vel' d'Hiv Roundup — over 13,000 Jews in Paris (including more than 4,000 children) were packed into the cycling stadium by French police before deportation to Auschwitz. Most of the children were murdered. Vichy officials bragged about their “contribution” to the Final Solution. By war’s end, France had deported roughly 76,000 Jews — enabled by French collaboration, bureaucracy, and betrayal. The “land of liberty, equality, fraternity” chose complicity. Some “allies” were just as bad as the enemy.

Many of the self-appointed saints of the left are celebrating the murder of Ann Widdecombe. Those who celebrate the murder of a 78-year-old woman are the scum who will send you and me to the gulag because we merely don't agree with their politics The left must be peacefully and legally, albeit ruthlessly, destroyed.

Government can just do good things for people. We’ve been living under a bipartisan lie for decades. https://t.co/xQuX4d4Zro

Often looking back at some of the media interviews after I’ve done them, I think there’s many things I should have/could have said, but I never work to a script or a prepared statement, it’s always a genuine response in that conversation. I’ve just seen this though and it’s right. It is a knee jerk by the government to a public outcry, the law should have been changed 14 years ago and sorted with Pakistan, ahmed should be serving 41 years not 14, we should build more prisons. Our politicians are neglectful and reactive rather than proactive and ahead of the game. Makes me so angry, because every day I see the life long consequences for the victims who carry the trauma for the rest of their lives…. And that’s heightened when they know their rapists are back in the community! The fear is very real. https://t.co/iXhAE3MuKe

Why is Tinubu after NDC? This is the worst government we have seen. Things have changed for the worse. I stand firm with Peter Obi. https://t.co/Ira0MHO2sZ

The government doesn’t want you to know the red boxes are free…. (Allegedly) https://t.co/A05tGyVuof https://t.co/JXggJEkHJS

British politics is coarsening. As the hands on the Ming vase slip, some have resorted to dirty tricks: character attacks, whisper campaigns, false police reports, censorship and cancellation... No political movement can solve the existential problems we face if it acts dishonourably and dishonestly in pursuit of power. We can't be tempted to lie or stay silent by the promise of comfortable careers, safe seats, or the fickle approval of expedient political parties. We must honour those who passed away before they got to see the country they loved restored. My remarks at a recent New Culture Forum Locals event in Brighton.

Office Politics 101: If a meeting has no agenda, you are the agenda.

Office politics taught me this: some meetings are surveillance.

Politics is fun, i like posting this stuff and im obviously good at it but its not my real interest; i'd rather be talking clothes, culture, watches, music, etc. The only reason I'm even here is because i watched libtards ruin every hobby I'd ever had

politics is possession. watch someone get infected with ideology. eyes change. voice changes. start speaking in someone else's words. possessed people think their thoughts are their own. but they're just channels now. left right doesn't matter. same possession different demons

every politics tweet on here now is like "trump signs executive order shutting down electrical grid" and all the replies under it are just thank you jesus we have prayed for this

"Identity politics" is not inherently divisive but it is absolutely ineffective unless paired with Marxist and anti-colonial analysis. IDpol removed from class analysis and the intersections of all forms of oppression essentially advocates for a more inclusive capitalism.

Philippine politics is a circus. It’s all fun and games for the people in power, while Filipinos endure their suffering. At the end of the day, it’s about who stays in control. In the end, they win; we lose.

Claiming politics killed Disney misses a deeper truth: Disney was a symbol of magic and wonder. But they empowered nihilists who "problematize" everything from society to human nature. They gave the reins to cynics whose skewed moral framework and deep-seated resentment render them incapable of creating the very magic Disney was known for. As a result, a brand that took 100 years to build was destroyed in just 3. From Snow White to Star Wars to Pixar to the MCU--the problem is not the politics in and of themselves: The problem is that the magic is gone.
