John Bolton once called for Edward Snowden's execution. He even fantasized how, saying Snowden "ought to swing from a tall oak tree."

Bolton is now a convicted felon for mishandling classified information: not to inform the public but to profit off a book. Get the noose.

Indeed how 🤯

If removing a few temporary migrants is "ethnic cleansing", then allowing tens of millions of migrants into a nation against the native population's will is ethnic genocide.

“Capitalism is not a profit system, it is a profit and loss system, and the losses are more important than the profits.”
—Milton Friedman

But the US education system runs on the exact opposite principle.

No failure allowed. Instead of closing or losing funding, failing schools get more taxpayer money, more administrators, and more programs.
And bad teachers rarely face real consequences thanks to tenure and union protection. The “customers” (parents and kids) have almost no exit.

Real per-pupil spending has nearly tripled since 1970 after inflation. NAEP scores flat or eroding in core skills for decades. PISA rankings middling at best, with math especially weak.

Thomas Sowell diagnosed this in Inside American Education, asserting that the system is morally and intellectually bankrupt.
It has turned into a propaganda operation more than an educator primarily pushing ideology, feelings, and self-esteem over knowledge and competence.

With endless public money and zero market test, there is nothing forcing correction. Unions buy political protection so the failure machine keeps running.

Friedman and Sowell both identified the same disease and the same cure, namely real competition and choice.

Vouchers or education savings accounts let parents take the money and flee failure. Good schools grow, while bad ones finally face losses and must improve or die.

Without the discipline of losses, mediocrity is subsidized forever. And the kids, especially in the worst districts, pay the permanent price.

But that’s just the system working exactly as designed.

Step 1: Invent a new extra-bad category of crime, like "hate crime" or "terrorism", with extra-harsh punishments.

Step 2: Expand the definition of the new kind of crime to include anything, or anyone, that you want to punish extra harshly.

Women are not suitable for dealing with the amount of violence necessary to maintain civilization.

This is, again, because women are wired to care for babies with whom "zero" violence is the correct amount.

This is why the central problem of Western Civilization is childless women with political power.

Civilization requires continuity, past and future, and thus it belongs only to those that create said future. Allowing childless people authority over civilization is fundamentally suicidal.

I find this so interesting 14 years later...

Such a good example of a maker vs a taker.

[Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_]

100% correct. When I was at the Del Rio, TX Haitian bridge camp in 2021, many of the Haitians told me they had been living in Chile & Brazil for years before coming to the US illegally for economic (not safety) reasons. The Haitians were dumping & tearing up their Chilean documents at the river’s edge hide this fact from the US so it wouldn’t hurt their fraudulent asylum claims.

The idea that all these Haitians came directly from Haiti after an earthquake or assassination is false. Many of them were living happily and safely for years in South America until Biden’s open border policies became too attractive to pass up. Others also flew into the US via Biden’s CHNV mass parole program which was supposed to be for only 2 year humanitarian parole grants. Of course, most never left.

For half a century, the 7.6 million pounds of thrust from the Saturn V was the absolute ceiling of human engineering

SpaceX is now treating that as a baseline

“Starship V3 is more than double the thrust of the Saturn V… By V4, we’ll be pretty much three times” — Elon Musk

SpaceX’s first-principles engineering is on another level

When you came to Iceland in early June 2025 we had not yet started to see many of the consequences of the 2024 push to bring in people from Gaza (led by a group of women in an empathy rush). Since then, we have had a grooming gang being stopped by coincidence, revealing they had two teenage girls they had drugged in the car, a group of Hamas-connected men made an attempt to kill a person in a parking garage (on trial now, but one escaped to Jordan), another group attacked a 17 year (could have killed him) old because he had the reaction of punching the hood of their car as they drove over his foot, joined by people who came out of a nearby Kebab restaurant to help beat him up. We have gangs of kids from Gaza that are terrorising other children. We do not let our kids out the same way as before. We see pictures of them in expensive cars (how do they get expensive cars? – there was an effort to gather money to pay them out of Gaza) – some pictures with guns. Videos of them browing the horns of their cars to assert dominance. We hear their loud music in the night when they drive by our homes. There was an incident of a person walking a suburb with a machete during an argument (photographed from all angles). They (or other muslims) took over a shed by the airport that taxi drivers had to have coffee and go to the toilet and the denied everyone else entry (people that legally can use it and have used it for years) as they turned it into a place to pray. One woman, who had brought a "refugee" from Gaza and married him has now testified in an interview that he was indeed a violent Hamas member (good for her to admit that she was wrong and testify).

All this is just the tip of the Iceberg and everybody that has eyes and ears sees and hears this. This is just little Iceland in about one year since you came here. Only the ideologically possessed can't see what is going on.

@GadSaad Disturbing that a doctor, someone whose career is supposed to be healing people, would commit mass murder
