Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 25, 2025

Xitter is part of the War!

Tweeting is now rated X.

The next wars will be because Trump thinks he deserves Canada, Greenland, the Panama Canal and Ukraine’s mineral rights.

I once overheard a couple of guys on the bus arguing about whether compulsory military service should be reinstated in my country. One was saying “but it’s so dangerous, we could be sent to a combat zone” and his friend replied, “Of course it’s dangerous, it’s a war! If no one kills anyone else they’re just having an argument!”

Of course usually those things they don’t see the same way are “we want your land and people for ourselves,” rebutted with “no”, and then the first one decides to just take it by force.

Or it’s because one is so insecure about their economic system despite claiming it being perfect that they force their way into another country for not having the same economic system.

Is RAT ACTUALLY convinced that what GOAT said is good marketing for TWITTER?! Is that what RAT wants to participate in?! Does that ACTUALLY make RAT happy? Dan aka…ps or does RAT just want “truth in advertising?”

Are you a Tweeter or a re Tweeter? Or an X-citing tweeter?

To have peace, everybody must work for it.You only need one to have war.

Since media has been exposed as nothing more than a propaganda tool used by the ruling elites to manipulate the people to shape their opinions, perhaps there will be fewer proxy wars orchestrated just for profiteering and corruption via the Military Industrial Complex arm of the Global Corporate Collectivist Cabal. Or perhaps not. Humans are pretty warlike.

What is it good for?! Imagine….

Sounds like the Comments page on Non Sequester. Or often here, too, as a matter of fact. God Bless America and American Patriots like The❤️Count and millions of others who got things Right last November.

Stop dead naming ‘X’.

It’s all about power!

It is interesting how more people are giving up on calling it “X” and have just gone back to the “Twitter” name. I guess too many folks are tired of the whole “Formerly Known As” thing and saying “X” just sounds stupid.

There’s a great book about war correspondents “The First Casualty” by Philip Knightley.

There’s a story about a Vietnam era antiwar reporter. He went in hating the war, and got wounded. While he was recuperating he was approached by a publisher who wanted to do an antiwar book. The publisher said they wanted a book that would deglamorize war.

The reporter told him that they’d do better with a book deglamorizing sex.

You left out the beach side golf resort and casino called Gaza.

Why can’t we all just live in peace?

Not true. ALL wars are fought over territory. Who rules the land we’re standing on? Can our soldiers take and keep that land? Even religious wars and civil wars are really about land-holding. That’s why the US hasn’t fought or won a real war since WW2.

Twitter is a warzone, confirmed.

I’m ok with the Ukraine mineral rights so we can get some of the billions that Joe Biden gave to them , but please do not take on the problems of those other countries , please !

Never grasped thre statement, “Stop at nothing to….”

X is nothing compared to the comments under “Pearls Before Swine.”

Has anyone noticed that we haven’t seen Zebra in a very long time?

I stay on Twitter to promote my YouTube videos and irritate MAGATs.

I’ve heard it really ticks-off the maker of the Swasticar if you call Twitter Twitter and not some other stupid name that isn’t Twitter.

So keep up the good work.

Some big names on X, far more interesting than Facebook

War is the most profitable business on Earth. You should ask the defense contractors like Lockheed-Martin. Why “win” a war when you can drag it on for years and rob the people and the Treasury of trillions. Wake up, America.

And it will be called “The Civil War – Part Two”.

I feel like we’re at War with our own Country. The King Clown actually talked about hoping the Blue States would disappear. That’s called secession and that might be the most logical thing to do to break away from this idiocy running the Country now

Twitter? I thought it was X now?

War doesn’t determine who’s right, only who’s left.

Goat AND Rat actual made good point. Is Pig going to start growing wings now?

All part of the Trump & Musk plan to distract the public with chaos & nonsense while they funnel billions out of the US Treasury into their own coffers. MAGA politics is an entertainment industry run by swindlers.

And the reasons for war are endless … there even was one over Roses.

Wars are promulgated for two reasons: to force one’s religion (mythology) on someone else; to make profits.

Steph, stop feeding the Trolls.

The wars I don’t understand are religious wars. Don’t all religions spout peach and harmony?

Most every border in the entire world that are not determined by water have been made by war. The History of mankind is measured by war. Mankind is driven by greed.

40-some years ago, I went to a Museum of War (don’t recall if that was the specific name) showing all sorts of weaponry going back centuries. I found it depressing to think of how much time, brainpower, and money has gone into finding new ways to destroy the other guys…

A poem titled “The Box” by Kendrew Lascelles Abercrombie comes to mind.

Wow. Mouse said something sensible

Can anyone explain how 20 million Americans over 100 years old ended up on the social security rolls? And that’s just the live ones. People in Washington said they weren’t getting benefits, I don’t care about that now. What I want to know is how and why they were put there in the first place. Even if they were just not marked deceased yet, that would take 200 years of 100,000 people a year dying. I got news for them social security hasn’t been around that long

The sane people have all moved to Bluesky.

France and Germany are already making contingency plan for an invasion by the Russo-American Alliance. Placing French nukes in Germany to replace the American forces.

Agree.

There’ll be peace. Someday.

And here we are, 3 years later, still referring to it as Twitter and not as X. And they want us to start calling it the Gulf of America overnight.

Could also apply to GoComics. Occasional a$$holes tend to spring up. Especially when they smell blood. They just can’t admit they’re wrong and would rather die than see someone get the last word.

I thank he shood get it for us
