FDR is the most overrated president in American history and it is not close.
People treat him like a saint. The reality is he inherited a recession and turned it into the longest depression in the history of the developed world. Every other major economy on earth recovered faster than the United States did under FDR. Sit with that. We had the most resources, the most industry, the most capacity, and we recovered slower than countries that got bombed.
Unemployment was still 19% in 1938. Six years into the New Deal. Six years of "bold experimentation" and one in five Americans still could not find work.
Why? Because his policies were economically illiterate. The NIRA cartelized entire industries and made it illegal to lower prices during a deflationary collapse. He paid farmers to slaughter livestock and plow under crops while people stood in bread lines. He launched a war on business so aggressive that investment dried up because nobody knew what insane rule was coming next. Even his own Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, admitted in 1939 that they had spent enormous sums and "it does not work" and that unemployment was as high as when they started.
Then in 1937 his policies triggered a second brutal crash so embarrassing the textbooks gave it its own polite little nickname, the "Roosevelt Recession," so they would not have to attach his name to the failure in the obvious way.
A UCLA study in 2004 concluded the New Deal prolonged the Great Depression by roughly seven years. Seven years of extra suffering sold to you as heroism.
So what actually saved the economy? Not the alphabet agencies. Not the fireside chats. A world war. Twelve million men shipped overseas and the entire planet's industrial competition reduced to rubble. That is the "recovery." That is the legacy.
Strip away Pearl Harbor and FDR is a guy who took a bad recession and stretched it into a decade of misery with bad economics and a cult of personality. He is not ranked on results. He is ranked on the luck of being in the chair when Hitler invaded Poland.
Greatest marketing job in the history of the presidency. Nothing more.
Report: Female cop shoots Jewish rabbi outside Pornhub office in Canada while hiding from Marxist gunman who killed immigrant officer named Mohamed

It was a lady cop? It was a rabbi coming out of PornHub headquarters? Shooter was a communist? The other cop was named Mohammed? It was in a gun free zone? Took place in Canada?
I went to a prestigious prep school (Choate).
By default, I know way too many people who slid into the USAID grifter circuit.
It’s way worse than you think: nauseating buzzword-filled circle-jerks on Zoom calls, business-class conferences in Zurich, private champagne dinners, and endless layers of outsourcing (each one taking their fat cut) - all on unlimited expense accounts.
Saying 90% of the “aid” disappears into admin, overhead, and fraud is a gross understatement.
And for what?
So these con artists can LARP as humanitarian saviors, feign respectability, and send their kids to private school…
…all on the backs of hardworking American taxpayers.
It's a lifestyle racket. A facade.
And the worst part is that we're all expected to hold these people in high regard.
So-called internet racists all wanted a black African Pope not a shitlib who everyone knew would be used to try to divide American Catholics. Make of that what you will.
Has the Pope condemned the violence and discrimination against Afrikaans in South Africa, a country they made habitable and wealthy (look at it now), or does that not fit the tenor of his his third worldist worldview?
My whole life we have been told, "Feed the African children, they are all starving to death," and yet somehow there are billions more since those Sally Struthers commercials. Something is not adding up.
Are we morally obliged to keep feeding people who can’t feed themselves but continue to reproduce, creating exponentially more people who can’t feed themselves, and if so, is there a limiting principle to this?
Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm show on Amazon is the most radicalizing piece of mainstream media I’ve ever seen
Just one example (bear with me):
Badgers became a protected species in Britain 40+ years ago.
The population has exploded and now frequently transmits tuberculosis to cows
But farmers can’t cull the badger population to protect their cattle because the government still considers them to be endangered
Instead of addressing the root cause, the UK has the most batshit testing regime for cattle
There’s no TB vaccine. So the cattle have to get tested. The vets administering the test have to measure welts on the cows neck. Whether a cow lives or dies comes down to a vet trying to discern 1mm on a caliper (reactive vs non reactive).
If a cow tests positive, the farm (already running on super thin margins) is quarantined and starts hemorrhaging money.
Jeremy Clarkson’s cow (pregnant with twins) has an inconclusive test so it’s separated from the herd. It receives a second inconclusive test so they have to kill it (before it can give birth to the twins).
Now here’s the kicker: the autopsy reveals no sign of TB. It was a healthy cow needlessly killed
So - silver lining the farm should be removed from quarantine, right? WRONG - it’s still under quarantine and has to keep testing and can’t sell its beef
Kafkaesque doesn’t even begin to describe how f’d up it is for British farmers
The media sold the world fear. Tourists brought back the receipts. They came expecting chaos and left praising Trump’s America. Turns out reality hits a lot harder than CNN talking points. 🇺🇸
Every city on earth I’ve visited without blacks is highly nocturnal.
People sit around all night.
People walk around all night.
Everywhere is open until 2 or 3am even malls.
When black people arrive all of this ends as it leads to murder.
@Keir_Starmer You tolerate muslims raping a quarter million girls.
You will resign on Monday.
And you should be in prison along with everyone that covered up for the rapist muslims
The feminist silence on the 250,000 children raped by Muslim groomer gangs is the most shocking of all
Why would feminists be silent about coordinated rape by a real-world rape culture, whose men rape hundreds of times more frequently than white men?
An unsettling answer:
Feminists don't care about rape victims whose stories they cannot weaponize against white men
That is why they are silent; these rape victims are simply not useful for their real agenda
Feminists don't care about rape
Feminism is a power politics of hysterical, enraged resentment
And it was always about waging war on the achievements and legitimately earned authority of white men
The feminists are just as monstrous as the Islamists
That is why the feminists are in coalition with the Islamists and the socialists
None care about civilization or justice
All they care about is subversion, resentment, and power
Their silence about the Muslim rape gangs tells the entire story
