Today, I visited the USDA lab in Kerrville. Remarkable place. To protect Texas, they’re releasing hundreds of millions of sterile screwflies.

I’m calling them Talaricos!

Academia concentrates intellectuals because it’s a low accountability bubble where bad ideas like socialism thrive.

According to Thomas Sowell, intellectuals produce ideas judged only by peers.
An engineer’s collapsed building ruins him and a businessman’s flop means bankruptcy.
But if an intellectual’s grand social scheme fails disastrously, he pays no price for being wrong, thanks to tenure and echo chambers.

And according to Ludwig von Mises, capitalism rewards those who serve consumers.
Many intellectuals resent this.
Their ambitions are frustrated, so they retreat to academia/government to denounce the “system” that didn’t crown them, subsidized by the markets they hate.

They excel at abstractions and peer validation, not reality tests.

And the result is a self-selecting club where sounding smart to colleagues takes precedence over delivering results that work for real people.

Because the real world is harsher, and a lot more honest.

This is nonsense.

Over the last century, there has been no increase in heatwaves in the United States, as confirmed in a new paper just published in the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Climatology. Christy (2026) states very clearly,

Two countries split from the same colonial body in 1965. One picked economic freedom. The other picked handouts and racial spoils. You already know how this ended.

Singapore had no oil, no farmland, no hinterland. Just a swamp and a port. Lee Kuan Yew looked at that and trusted trade, low taxes, and hard money. Central planners hate what he did.

Malaysia went the other way. In 1971 Kuala Lumpur launched the New Economic Policy, a state program handing quotas, contracts, and university seats to ethnic Malays. Politicians decided who got what. A commissar fantasy dressed in liberal language.

Now let's look at the numbers. In 1965 both places sat around $500 per capita. Today Singapore clears $84,000. Malaysia sits near $13,000. Same climate, same starting line, one sixth the result.

The Singapore dollar holds its value because the Monetary Authority of Singapore manages it against a currency basket and refuses to print its way out of trouble. The ringgit has lost roughly two thirds of its value against the Singapore dollar since 1981.

You cannot subsidize your way to wealth. You cannot redistribute what you never let people produce. Every ringgit funneled through a quota is a ringgit some bureaucrat spent on his own vision instead of a customer's.

Malaysia bet on planners deciding outcomes. Singapore bet on people deciding for themselves. The gap between $84,000 and $13,000 is your answer.

This is crazy.

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

It's not the poor who want socialism.

It's a "luxury belief," says @robkhenderson.

Because socialism's biggest promoters live a life of privilege.

Trump Accounts are Donald Trump’s New Deal.

But instead of making Americans dependent on government, they will make every child in America a capitalist.

Every child will be an owner. Every child will have a stake. Every child will see that America’s free enterprise system is not something happening far away in Washington or Wall Street — it is something they are part of.

I authored Trump Accounts because ownership changes lives. It builds wealth. It teaches responsibility. It creates capitalists who believe in America.

The first 250 years of this country were the greatest in the history of the world. With President Trump’s leadership, the next 250 can be greater still.

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell and her husband have announced that they are donating ~$325 million of SpaceX stock to Trump Accounts for more than two million children across the U.S.

Every one of those kids will now have a direct stake in a company whose mission is the most ambitious in human history: to make life multi-plantary 🚀

[Kaizen D. Asiedu @thatsKAIZEN]

Mamdani says he saved NYC’s budget by taxing the rich & socialism.

In reality, ~5% came from taxing the rich.

~53% mostly by taking money from people who don’t live in NYC & future taxpayers.

~35% from…Wall Street

Capitalists create success, socialists claim it as their own.

The next time Democrats roll out “affordability,” talking points, ask them if they’ve read this story yet.

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

Capitalism haters say, "We have a finite amount of money.”

“Jeff Bezos has $100B. His wealth is making people poorer.”

But, that’s just ignorant. There ISNT a finite amount of money.

Capitalists create new wealth!

Here’s how trade makes everyone richer:

“100° temperatures are now a reality in all 50 U.S. states.”

They have been a reality for well over a century. Alaska’s record of 100°F was set in June 1915.

But you forgot to mention that.

I wonder why?

[John LeFevre @JohnLeFevre]

Incredible gift.

If Gwynne Shotwell didn’t work for Elon, she’d be universally celebrated by the media as one of the greatest executives alive.

The same people who worship “strong women” suddenly go blind when she stands next to the "wrong" man.

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

73% of Americans say they are proud to be Americans.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA! I love this country deeply. We have the freedom to disagree, to voice our opinions & change through voting. We have the opportunity to succeed and live what this country offers everyone… The American Dream. Thank you all military personnel past & present.
