What's going on in Washington State?

Housing supply is going absolutely vertical.

And just broke 29,000 listings in August 2026.

That's up 128% in the last three years. And the highest level for August back to 2017.

Homeowners are fleeing Washington State in droves, and tech layoffs are surging.

The locals who want to stay are priced out of the market, with the typical home costing $591,000.

This is a nasty combination for home values, which are already declining.

Washington ranks our biggest 'downward forecast' state in 2027.

Hiring Tony Robbins today costs 1 million dollars for just one day.

This is a 21-minute tape recorded in his own home more than 30 years ago.
There, he explains exactly how to get anyone to say yes.
The same material for which they now charge a fortune... completely free.

It's a rare, unfiltered recording from the time when he still didn't charge millionaires just for being in the same room.

When someone says no, they give two excuses:
“I don’t have time” or “I don’t have money”
Neither is true.

The real reason is that they still don’t believe it’s worth it.
It’s not a money problem. It’s a state problem.

Tony teaches something he calls “attack and confess”
Instead of arguing the objection, you confess your own:

“I had the chance to go six months ago and I didn’t until two months ago.
I can’t even imagine the time I wasted”

The room goes silent. No one argues.

Then he gets the person on the “yes train”
Each little yes adds to the next.
Until saying no at the end feels harder than saying yes.

When it’s time to sign, the person has already said yes five times without realizing it.

Just 21 minutes.
There you learn the two only moves that people pay 1 million a day for:
how to read anyone’s state… and how to shift it.

Most people spend years guessing in sales.
He wrote it on a flipchart in his living room in less than half an hour.

A seat in that room cost $125 dollars.
Today it costs $1 million dollars a day to sit in front of him.

The tape is free right now.
And the answer is in this video.

🚨🇺🇸 CAR@LHO, QUE LAPADA! 🔥🔥🔥

CNN: “Este é um imigrante sem documentos...”

Miller: “Eles estavam aqui ILEGALMENTE?”

CNN: “Quero que esta seja uma discussão de boa-fé...”

Miller: “Quando você usa uma linguagem feita para ocultar a verdade, isso NÃO é boa-fé. Um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL é um ESTRANGEIRO ILEGAL. Eles não são ‘imigrantes sem documentos’.”

CNN: “Stephen, estamos tentando humanizar o debate...”

Miller: “Humanizar? Então vamos humanizar o Código Penal também. O assaltante de banco passa a ser ‘especialista em retirada sem agendamento prévio’. O estelionatário vira ‘empreendedor de narrativas financeiras alternativas’. O cara que entra na sua casa sem convite é só um ‘visitante com documentação pendente’. Que tal?”

CNN: “Isso é uma analogia grosseira.”

Miller: “Grosseira é fingir que a lei federal some porque a redação da CNN inventou um eufemismo mais fofo. ‘Sem documentos’ soa como alguém que esqueceu a carteira no Uber. Não. É alguém que cruzou a fronteira sem autorização, ficou, e agora a imprensa trata o estatuto jurídico como se fosse uma questão de estilo de escrita.”

CNN: “Mas muitos contribuem para a economia...”

Miller: “Ah, o argumento clássico: o crime deixa de ser crime se a pessoa lava prato ou constrói telhado. Pelo mesmo critério, o contrabandista de cigarro também ‘contribui’, gera emprego no transporte. Quer que a gente chame ele de ‘empreendedor logístico informal’? A CNN topa?”

CNN: “Você está polarizando.”

Miller: “Não. Eu estou recusando o dicionário de marketing. Vocês mudam a palavra, depois acusam quem usa o termo legal de ser ‘desumano’. É o truque mais velho do livro: primeiro suaviza o vocabulário, depois declara vitória moral. Os Estados Unidos já cansaram desse teatro. Chamem o que é. Ou admitam que o objetivo nunca foi clareza — foi controle da narrativa.”

Elon Musk just gave the clearest AI timeline we’ve heard so far.

In under 10 minutes he lays out:

1) AI surpasses all human intelligence in ~5 years
2) Humans most likely lose control within 10 years
3) Most probable outcome: an age of amazing abundance
4) “Even if there was a stop button — we probably shouldn’t press it”

This is denser and more direct than most hour-long podcasts on the topic.

If you still think AI is “just another tool”, this 10-minute segment will recalibrate you.

Every person living in a western nation needs to listen to every word of this

Katherine Berbalsingh went to the University of Oxford and is Headmaster at Michaela Community School in London, UK

She PERFECTLY explains the mass indoctrination into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, and of hating White People

I will write only some of this out because it’s very important, however you should listen to it so you can hear the passion:

“The culture shift comes from what children learn at school and online. Ask any young person what history they learned at school, and they’ll tell you, Hitler. Ask them what else? Slavery. Ask them what else? American civil rights.

In fact, what little they know of history will be all about Black and brown people fighting for equality against the white man, women fighting men for the vote, gay and trans people fighting for various rights. Our young people have been taught that history is simply one long story about various groups struggling under the oppressive dead white man.

— History is taught through an oppressor lens. The triangular slave trade, white men held the power. What about Britain ending the slave trade? More than a quick mention, if at all? Mm, no.

What of the Arab slave trade that lasted 3 times as long as the triangular slave trade? Mm, no.

Okay, so GCSE history in Britain is often taught as migration through time, so the idea that Britain has always been a land of immigrants is embedded in our children’s heads. Most schools would prefer to concentrate learning about the tiny number of Black people who existed in Tudor England over a thorough analysis of England’s break from Rome.

— Not to mention weeks on King Mansa Musa of Mali because he was a Black Muslim. His bearing on British institutions, laws, and faith is nonexistent. And the fact that he is said to have been the richest man in history, thanks in part to his massive slave-owning society, is a detail somehow that teachers rarely ever teach.

But it isn’t just our schools. It’s our general culture too. Take your kids to a museum or an art gallery in any Western country, and you’ll find the same narrative.

As an example, when learning about aviation in London’s Science Museum and the extraordinary feat that is man making massive machines move in the sky, a write-up on the wall explains that women and Black people were historically barred from aviation schools and the military. Similarly, James Watt, the man who invented the steam engine and is considered the founder of the Industrial Revolution, has a write-up on the wall explaining that his early career involved slave trafficking, with a bonus analysis of the whole of Britain’s complicity in the slave trade.

They flatten the entire human story and all of its complexities into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, leaving young people unable to see the world in any other terms.”

We have to end the mass indoctrination

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

September 10th began as one of the best days of my adult life. A new business I was helping out hit its first inflection point, the flywheels were spinning, I had quality time with the family. Cracked open a can of nitro cold brew and got ready for another day of war on X. 10/10 day.

My wife said, “Charlie Kirk got shot.” I opened the video and then life changed for everyone.

The grief fell down on me like a ton of bricks.

I was not as close to Charlie as Posobiec and others were. Charlie would text me, like he would hundreds of others each day. He was a modern-day Benjamin Franklin, and I was fond of him from afar. Who wasn’t? Charlie was one of the most impressive men who ever lived. Will Durant would need to return to life to give Charlie’s life the treatment it deserves.

I wasn’t sure what to make of him at the time. I watched his star rise at Turning Point and saw him navigate difficult media attacks and grow an empire.

One of the first people I talked to was Jack Posobiec, who said what I was thinking, “We thought it’d be you.” That wasn’t an insult. He wasn’t saying it should have been me.

All of us know that we might be murdered. It’s something we talked about frequently. Who will get shot first? We can say that it’s tragic to live this way, and so what?

As men you accept that there are enemies of civilization, not many allies, and those on the front will be framed for crimes, sued into bankruptcy, or killed.

I went to great pains to put my assets into vehicles for my children, to fund their 529s, to make sure that my family would have financial security. I nagged everyone in the fight to do this, literally telling people, “Assume you will be destroyed, your children will know their father was a historically significant person, your absence will be hard enough to deal with, don’t leave them broke too.”

I embraced the Stoic and samurai ideals of meditating on death. (Since then I’ve returned to Christianity, that is a different story for another time.)

I watched him show up at the RNC in 2016 shouting on a megaphone, “Socialism sucks.” Sadly, I lost most of my video footage from that era, but was able to locate that classic Charlie moment. (I posted it a couple of weeks before his murder.)

Why Charlie?

We kept asking that. Charlie was pure. If anything he was too righteous for this world. A lot of us to this day ask, “Why not me instead?”

I racked my brain and reached some conclusions that may not look good in the written word without facial inflection, but here we go.

Charlie was too pure. No one thought, “If I murder Charlie, then his followers will kill me and my friends and family.” I’m not saying this to criticize Charlie. He lived his Christian values. Some others on the right are seen a bit as more in the “grey area,” not walking fully in the light, as Charlie did.

Morally it’s a question I fight with almost daily. Are we too pure? Will all of our families be lined up against the wall like Tsar Nicholas’ was, as the neo-Bolsheviks bayonet our children?

Are we too Christian and kind?

My own regrets.

When text messages began to leak, my heart broke again. I’m going to carefully word these next sentences to avoid embroiling myself into the endless controversies and drama. I want no part of any of that and reject fully anyone’s attempt to bring me into it.

I wish I had talked to Charlie more often. I had no agenda or angle to work. He needed someone older and removed from the day-to-day whose only question was, “How can I help you, Charlie Kirk?”

We attended Charlie’s memorial service. Most impressive to me was the President of Hillsdale College. Even looking for this video has me choking up. This man loved Charlie. He didn’t see Charlie as a political tool or way to launder a pet political cause onto college campuses.

This is grief. This is true paternal love.

“Why is dad crying?”

During a trip to see my sick father in the hospital, I was listening to the worship music from Charlie’s memorial, weeping on the plane.

There was some comedic relief to the grief. I loathe worship music. Yet there I was playing megachurch jam band songs from the Charlie Kirk memorial. (Someone posted a Playlist on Spotify.)

“How the f—k did I end up a weepy mess listening to this shit?” As the saying goes, you either laugh or cry. For me it’s been both.

Between Scott Adams’s passing and Charlie’s, I was often getting up to leave the house. Had to walk, collect my thoughts, and go cry alone. I get over stuff that happens to me easily, probably too much so. My wife’s biggest complaint is, “You’re too nice and people take advantage of you.” My dad is the same way, and it’s something I’m working on with my oldest. You have to stand up for yourself. Not everyone shares our values. (In fact, most don’t, and they’ll even steal from you if given the chance.) Even so, there’s a lot to be said for not caring about yourself too much. The opposite end of that is endlessly brooding and greed.

I can get over a lot.

Charlie’s death is not something I am close to getting over.

Charlie Kirk got us back into church.

My wife and I hadn’t ever gone to church together unless it was for a wedding, and I hadn’t been inside a church to worship for decades. We went to a local church our friends attended, and it was packed. The pastor immediately mentioned Charlie’s murder and said he would talk about it.

I hated the sermon, as did my wife. We wanted a message of vengeance, not forgiveness and contemplation, and brotherly love. I rebelled against Josiah B. Trenham’s homily calling for us all to reflect for 40 days.

I’ve tried. I’m still full of hate and anger, almost one year later. Maybe my heart isn’t Christian enough, or maybe Christians have lost touch with the Polish Winged Hussars and other warriors who fought back against the Ottoman Empire and other primitives. Maybe Tsar Nicholas should have taken the Bolshevik threat more seriously.

My wife said of the church service we attended, “Maybe that’s the message we needed to hear.” I don’t have it in me to forgive Charlie’s murderer, the far left, nor the Tech and Wall Street guys who funded it all. I am not Charlie Kirk.

God knows I’m not Charlie Kirk.

There's never been anything like the Henry Nowak case where the victim is non-white and the assailant is white, and the police respond the way they did. That whole combination of events could really only happen to a white person. The BLM narrative is the exact opposite of reality
