"When you're stupid, you think you know everything without questioning and when you're intelligent, you question everything you think you know."

Finally getting over the asthma - and here's the org chart of the Newark protests, as promised. A few are missing, particularly the Catholic NGOs. But this is the basic template for how mass protests are coordinated so quickly.
When a scientist or an engineer earns a Ph.D., it is usually based on reproducible, verifiable outcomes drawn from the laws of the natural world.
When a social "scientist" earns a Ph.D. in a "social science," it is based on collating the written opinions of other "social scientists" into a heavily footnoted thesis, and those people who were footnoted earned THEIR Ph.D. based on collating the written opinions of other "social scientists" into a heavily footnoted thesis, and those people who were footnoted earned THEIR Ph.D. based on collating the written opinions of other "social scientists" into a heavily footnoted thesis, and so on, and so on.
A Ph.D. in science or engineering is based on the laws of the natural world.
A Ph.D. in any "social science" is based on regurgitating the writings of other people who never had to prove anything. A "social science" Ph.D. is an intellectual Ponzi scheme--one based largely on restating the (often mistaken) opinions of those who came before you as if their opinions were fact, but arranging those opinions in such a way as to create your own novel and equally untrustworthy opinion.
We are at a point in society where anyone with a Ph.D. in a non-scientific or non-engineering field is more untrustworthy than random people on the street.

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
@MattRooneyNJ and cuts to StayNJ for seniors who've worked and paid taxes in NJ their whole lives....
@VoteKanitra Cuts StayNJ for seniors who have worked and paid taxes here their whole lives, but this... It IS insanity!
@Congressman_JVD She's cutting StayNJ for seniors who've worked here and paid their taxes all their lives, but she has $ for this??
These stats are INSANE. Democrats don’t want you to know this:
The state of New Jersey’s health inspectors went to Delaney Hall and didn’t find even one single violation.
Meanwhile their inspections say the NJ state prison system has “DEPLORABLE” conditions.
- you are 2x more likely to die in a NJ State Prison
- ICE has 2x more medical personnel than NJ State Prisons
- 32% of healthcare was delayed within the first 48 hours in NJ State Prisons
- in 2025 there were about 50 complaints a day about conditions in state prisons, treatment, and issues with healthcare
- some prisons were found to have severe flooding, mold, sewage buildup in cells, and issues with temperature control. One prison was even evacuated 3 times in 1 year
- NJ State prisons average about 40 deaths a year
I don’t want to hear another word from a single Democrat about the “conditions” in Delaney Hall.

He’s the President of the United States — not your ex, not your personal villain, and not the cause of your misery. You don’t have to support him. That’s America.
But if someone is simply backing the sitting President and it makes you rage, cut people off, attack families, or act like garbage — you are the problem.
You’ve turned politics into a personality disorder: nonstop outrage and toddler meltdowns online. Grow up. He won. The sky didn’t fall. Pay your bills, care for your family, touch grass, and move on.
The Carroll case rested on a sequence of legal maneuvers with no precedent in American civil litigation. Democratic legislators passed a retroactive temporary law eliminating the statute of limitations for decades-old accusations that could not be dated, located, or defended with alibis. The day the temporary law took effect, Carroll filed her pre-prepared lawsuit, the first in the state to do so.
A Democratic mega-donor secretly funded the plaintiff’s legal costs through a nonprofit. The arrangement stayed hidden until one of Trump’s lawyers discovered it. A Clinton-appointed judge then sealed all records so the jury never learned the billionaire backer had publicly committed to Trump’s political destruction. Every participant in the legislative, funding, and judicial steps operated inside the same political network, and each decision produced the same cumulative result.
The jury explicitly checked “no” on the verdict form’s specific rape question. The judge ruled rape proven anyway, claiming the jury had used a common rather than statutory definition… an impossibility, since their rejection under the common definition precludes rape by any standard. Trump’s team was barred from arguing innocence before a second jury, which awarded $83.3 million ($65 million punitive) on the rape finding the first jury had rejected.
A defendant was sued for defamation over denying an accusation, prevented from asserting that denial as a defense, tried before a judge who concealed the plaintiff’s political funding, and hit with a nine-figure verdict built on facts the jury itself refused to find.
No comparable sequence exists in recorded U.S. civil litigation history.
@DHSgov @RepJeffries Delaney Hall was repurposed under Obama for ICE immigration detainees.
What's changed?
Here’s a fun fact:
Cory Booker was the Mayor of Newark when Barack Obama used Delaney Hall to house detainees.
Now he’s on television lying and pretending this is a Trump thing.
We need a miracle and send Cory Booker home from the Senate

An African man is now suing the Japanese government.
A Tokyo court rejected his application for naturalization because he lacks sufficient Japanese language skills.
His response?
He is demanding ¥3.3 million in damages for the “stress” this decision caused him.
This is not integration.
This is entitlement.
He wants the immense privilege of becoming Japanese, but refuses to meet the most basic requirement — the ability to speak and understand the language of the country he wishes to join.
Japan is not a welfare office.
Japan is not a hotel.
Citizenship is not a right.
It is a privilege earned through respect and effort.
Japan has every right to decide who becomes one of its own.
This case is a perfect example of why careful immigration control matters.
Japan must protect its culture, its language, and its future.
Please do a quick read of this. It’s short, well written, and will remove a bit of wool from over your eyes.
Bezos went on CNBC yesterday and said "You could double the taxes I pay and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens."
And all the bureaucrats and socialists lost their minds.
Promise the teacher a raise. Tax everyone. Launder the money through Washington. Then blame the billionaire. We aren't morons Ro, we've seen this before.
Bezos said the bottom half of earners should pay zero federal income tax.
A nurse in Queens making $75K hands the IRS $12K a year. He said cut it to zero. She keeps her full paycheck. No bs refund, paperwork or shady government program.
Simple.
They won't do it. And you should ask yourself why.
They don't ACTUALLY want to help anyone. They just want to pretend they tried and get your votes while making you hate the ppl they scammed.
They want the money to flow through Washington, the city, every ponzi department and consultant and charity so each one can wet their beak.
By the time it reaches the teacher it's maybe $100, if that...
And then they'll blame the billionaire who hasn't paid their "fair share." Right Warren???
Lets take a gander at Mamdani's education budget.
NYC spends $42K per student per year, 3x the national average ($15K). Highest in America. Florida pays $9K.
NYC spends more per pupil than most people pay for private school or college. Its frickn insane.
The budget has gone up every year, enrollment has gone down. With all that money only 3 out of 10 kids can read in the 8th grade. Cuba can read better english and they speak spanish lol.
So where is the money going? Def not to teachers. but shh, ro doesn't want you to know that.
A starting teacher in NYC makes $65K. Mamdani's city spends $42K per kid, runs a $40B budget. You could pay every teacher six figures with that money and have 12 kids per a classroom. But thats too logical.
It goes to administrators. Consultants. Overtime. Unions. Friends and family businesses. Pensions for people who left a decade ago. Studies about studies. Buildings that take ten years to renovate. Everyone else but the kids, teachers and actual schools
THERE IS ENOUGH MONEY.
Politicians decide where the money goes. Teachers are underpaid because of how government spends money. Not because Bezos doesn't pay enough.
Then they stand outside a billionaire's apartment with a camera and tell you he's the problem.
That's the SCAM.
Ro Khanna says tax billionaires to fund $60K teacher salaries. NYC already spends enough to fund $100K teacher salaries. The money's there, Ro. Your people are the ones who won't give it to her.
Federal level is the same story. DOE spending up 649% since 2000 and kids aren't any smarter. GAO found $186 billion in improper payments last year. $3 trillion in errors since 2003. It’s criminal.
Stop taxing the nurse. No bureaucracy. Just let the woman keep her full paycheck.
Outrage is deflection.
They'd rather she pay.
Because her keeping her own money doesn't fund the machine and they lose the one thing that keeps the whole racket going: a billionaire to blame.
Gilles, je vais démonter ta prémisse de départ, parce que tout le reste de ton argument s'effondre avec elle.
Tu pars du principe qu'il faut une « sensibilité de gauche » pour ne pas laisser créver les gens de faim. C'est l'inverse total de ce que dit l'histoire économique des 50 dernières années.
Les chiffres bruts.
1990 : 2,3 milliards de personnes en pauvreté extrême. 38% de l'humanité.
2025 : 831 millions. Environ 10%.
1,5 milliard d'êtres humains sortis de la misère absolue en 35 ans. La plus grande réduction de souffrance humaine de toute l'histoire de l'espèce.
Qui a fait ça ?
Pas l'aide internationale. Pas les ONG. Pas les programmes de redistribution. Pas la « sensibilité de gauche ».
Le marché. L'ouverture commerciale. La Chine de Deng en 1978 qui abandonne le maoisme. L'Inde en 1991 qui libéralise. Le Vietnam, l'Indonésie, le Bangladesh qui s'ouvrent au capitalisme.
Les seuls endroits où l'extrême pauvreté a EXPLOSÉ sur la même période ? Le Vénézuela socialiste : de 27% de pauvres en 2008 à plus de 80% en 2018, avec une inflation de 130 000% et un Vénézuélien moyen qui a perdu 11 kilos par dénutrition. La Corée du Nord. Cuba. Le Zimbabwe de Mugabe.
La gauche ne nourrit pas les pauvres. Elle les fabrique.
Le capitalisme produit tellement de richesse que même ses « perdants » américains vivent mieux que la classe moyenne soviétique. Un pauvre US a un frigo, une voiture, un téléphone, l'air conditionné, internet. Un pauvre cubain attend du riz.
Ton argument selon lequel « le social aux USA est un désastre » repète une légende française. La réalité : le PIB par habitant américain est de 80 000$. Français : 45 000$. Un Mississippien — l'État US le plus pauvre — a un revenu médian supérieur au Français moyen.
La vérité que la gauche française refuse de regarder : dans un système libéral, il y a plus de richesse créée, plus largement distribuée, et beaucoup moins de pauvres. Partout. Sans exception. Sur toutes les périodes mesurées.
ÊTRE de gauche en 2026 face à ces données, ce n'est pas avoir de la « sensibilité ». C'est ignorer 35 ans de preuves accablantes. C'est préférer la posture morale au résultat.
La compassion sans résultats, ça s'appelle de la vanité.
