I’ve heard the saying that “God gives his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers.” But when I see the disciples that Jesus chose and suffered for His name sake, I don’t see Him choosing the “toughest soldiers”, as I learn about men and women in the past and even today who have laid down their lives for Jesus, once again I don’t see God choosing His “toughest soldiers.” But I see a strong and mighty God choosing weak men and woman, and empowering them by His Holy Spirit to face some of the toughest battles and be used for His glory.

I once thought I was a “tough soldier” until I met Jesus, I then realized that I’m so weak without Him, and apart from Jesus I can’t do anything. I need Jesus daily. The only way that I can truly become who God wants me to be and truly do what God wants me to do, is not by my power not by my might, but only by The Spirit of The Living God. Thank you Jesus.

“It is so hard for people to get out of the notion that life is a zero-sum game. They think if one man benefits, another must lose. But in a free market, both people can benefit.”

“The United States had free immigration throughout the nineteenth century, and up until World War I, really. But that was possible because the United States was not a welfare state.”

Thomas Sowell: “One of the most important reasons for studying history is that virtually every stupid idea that is in vogue today has been tried before and proved disastrous before, time and again.”

One of the cleanest experiments in history already settled the economic debate on capitalism vs. socialism.

Same Germans, same starting line in 1949, the only variable was the system they lived under.

West Germany under Ludwig Erhard abolished the old price controls and introduced a new currency in 1948 and industrial production jumped 50% in 6 months.

East Germany went Soviet-style central planning with the state controlling prices, production, and property.

By 1989, East Germany’s GDP per capita sat at about $9,679 while West Germany’s was roughly 3x higher, and at reunification in 1990, East German output per capita was only 55% of the West’s.

The wall fell, but the gap never closed up to this day. All to say it’s been easier to recover from an atomic bomb than years of socialist rule.

The top 5% pay 66% of income taxes

That's about 45% of total federal tax revenue.

60% of the federal budget goes to welfare.

That means the top 5% alone pay for most of the welfare state.

Socialists want them to pay even more.

Socialists do not care about the wealthy paying their fair share; they already do.

Socialists just want to destroy the wealthy.

It is not about justice.

It is about envy.

It is not about justice.

It is about injustice.

[Stacy is Right @PoliticalStacy]

I'm old enough to remember when everybody was MAGA.

Bill Clinton 1993: "We have to end welfare as a way of life and make it a path to independence and dignity."

Barack Obama 2005: "We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected undocumented unchecked and go around our communities without our knowledge of them."

Hillary Clinton 2008: "If they've committed a crime deport them. No questions asked. They're gone."

Chuck Schumer 2009: "Illegal immigration is wrong plain and simple."

Joe Biden 2006: "I voted for a fence. I voted for 700 miles of fence."

Harry Reid 1993: "No sane country would grant citizenship to children of illegal immigrants."

Bernie Sanders 2015: "Open borders is a Koch brothers proposal that would make everybody in America poorer."

The Secure Fence Act of 2006 had yes votes from Obama, Hillary, Schumer and Biden.

Don't you dare allow them to gaslight you into thinking your values are racist and radical. These used to be mainstream Democrat positions.

They only changed their minds once their party decided to use illegals to steal power from the American people.

$109M for 278 homes = $400K per. There are 400+ mobile homes for sale around Fresno from just $20K, with the average home in Kings County at $105K. With $109M, you could house 4x the people, with ZERO construction emissions...but you can't launder tax $ which is all this is.

When you use:

Rape
Incest
Disability
Poverty
Foster care

As the reason abortion is necessary, you are telling millions of people who were conceived in, or have overcome these circumstances, that their life is not valuable

Our worth as humans isn’t conditional, it is inherent

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

LGBTQers are melting down over a new billboard in Lima, Ohio, that says "No child has two dads" and "No child has two moms."

The LGBTQ community complains they are being targeted, claiming the sign is "hateful."

The billboard is attributed to the organization Them Before Us, a "global movement defending children’s right to their mother and father."

Them Before Us is firing back at the LGBTQ critics, saying that a "mother and a father are a fact, not a feeling."

What a great (and true) message.

[Commentary - Sowell Economics @sowelleconomics]

Thomas Sowell: "I was raised by people who were interested in me, and they were interested in my education.

The liberals today want to take children out of the hands of their parents so the 'experts' can raise them, they don't know what they are doing. The parents might not have PhD's, but they know what's best for their children.

The first three years of a child's life are very critical for development."

SHOCKER...the LA homeless count is going UP!

I warned you guys: the more homeless people, the more money Nithya Raman and Karen Bass can launder through their corrupt NGOs. You will NEVER fix this problem by electing people who profit off it.

[Lila Rose @LilaGraceRose]

Women who have abortions are:

155% more likely to commit suicide

110% more likely to abuse alcohol

37% more likely to have depression

34% more likely to develop anxiety disorders

Abortion destroys mental health because deep down we can’t escape the reality that abortion kills a baby.

Envy needs an ideology, and socialism has always been happy to provide one. Mises wrote a whole book about this in 1956, The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality, and the diagnosis holds up: people who resent the outcomes of voluntary exchange will always search for a doctrine that transforms their resentment into virtue. The woke left found theirs.

Notice what wokeism and socialism share at the root. Both start from the premise that unequal outcomes prove injustice. You earned more than your neighbor? Exploitation. One group outperforms another in median income? Systemic oppression. Neither doctrine ever asks whether people made different choices, took different risks, or produced different value for others. Asking that question would ruin everything, because the entire project depends on assigning blame rather than understanding prices, profit, and loss.

Once you accept that unequal outcomes equal injustice, you need a corrector. Someone powerful. Someone with the authority to override contracts, seize property, and redistribute according to a moral hierarchy the planners themselves define. That job description has exactly one applicant: the state. This is why the woke activist and the socialist always arrive at the same policy desk, demanding rent control in New York, wealth taxes in Sacramento, hiring quotas in every HR department from Seattle to Brussels.

Marcuse and the Frankfurt School figured out decades ago that the Western worker refused to play his assigned role as revolutionary. He got rich instead. Capitalism handed him a car, a house, and air conditioning, and he stopped listening to men promising utopia through expropriation. The revolutionaries needed a new client base. Class became identity, but the machinery stayed identical: oppressor and oppressed, guilt and grievance, revolution and rule.

The love affair with socialism, then, follows logically. Wokeism supplies the moral demand for coercion; socialism supplies the economic apparatus of coercion. Neither can survive in a world of private property and voluntary exchange, because in that world you rise by serving customers, not by capturing committees. Venezuela ran this experiment from 1999 onward. The grocery shelves reported the results.
