An apt day to remember that Dolly Parton once recorded a cover of Stairway to Heaven - and, in defiance of every moral law in the universe, she absolutely owned it.

@ClayTravis Long distance calls? In the 80’s they were expensive but now virtually free.

@FoxNews How is this “news”?

Thomas Sowell spent decades documenting what the Great Society actually did to black American families, and the evidence is brutal if you're willing to read it honestly.

In 1960, before Lyndon Johnson signed a single piece of Great Society legislation, roughly 22% of black children lived in single-parent homes. By 1980, that number had climbed past 50%. By 1995, it was near 70%. Slavery didn't produce those numbers. Jim Crow didn't produce those numbers. A federal welfare apparatus that penalized marriage, rewarded dependency, and treated fathers as financial liabilities produced those numbers. The Aid to Families with Dependent Children program (AFDC) made a man's presence in the household a disqualifying factor for benefits. Washington literally paid women to be unmarried and paid them more for each additional child. You design incentives, you get outcomes. This is not complicated.

Sowell's deeper point, the one that gets buried, is that black family stability was actually improving before federal intervention accelerated. Black poverty rates fell sharply between 1940 and 1960, before the Great Society existed. Black entrepreneurship, fraternal organizations, and two-parent households were all trending in the right direction under conditions that Great Society architects later described as hopeless. The War on Poverty didn't rescue a broken community; it interrupted a recovery.

Free market thinkers from Sowell to Walter Williams explained that price floors on labor (minimum wage laws), urban renewal projects that bulldozed black business districts in cities like Cincinnati and Atlanta, and the school assignment systems that trapped poor children in failing institutions all compounded the welfare trap systematically. Each intervention generated a problem that justified the next intervention. Government failure reliably became the argument for more government.

The cruelty here is structural. Politicians got votes. Bureaucrats got budgets. Social workers got caseloads. And three generations of children grew up without fathers in the home, with all the documented downstream effects on education, incarceration, and earnings that researchers have been tracking ever since. Everyone in that system got what they wanted except the people the system claimed to serve.

🚨 SHOCKING: RFK Jr. just dropped this on live national TV

Lyme disease.
RSV (the #1 killer of American kids).
COVID-19. All of them came from gain-of-function research. His exact words: They’ve been engineering the diseases that are destroying us… and then calling it “science.” This isn’t a conspiracy theory anymore.
This is the HHS Secretary saying it out loud.

“Lyme disease almost certainly came from these experiments and is now devastating our country.”
“RSV came from a laboratory, which is now the biggest killer of children in our country.”
“And of course, the COVID-19 pandemic…

All of those have been linked credibly to gain-of-function research.”

“It’s something with enormous costs and no proven benefits.”

@ConstitustionX Just because it’s open sourced, doesn’t make it ok to broadcast to the world. That was irresponsible and dumb to say the least.

Note to Alan Ritchson:

I am MAGA.

I voted for President Trump.

And I gave you 18 hours and 17 minutes of my life watching "Reacher."

And another 1h 47m watching "War Machine."

So how fucking DARE you come at me and people like me simply for existing and voting?

Where do you get off wishing that I would wake up in a pool of my own teeth and blood?

Who are you to lecture me, when all you are is a piece of shit actor?

You built your career on playing the tough, quiet guy who protects the weak and punches the powerful.

Then the second you got a platform, you turned around and started wishing violence on half the country because they cast a ballot you didn’t like.

You don’t get to cash MAGA checks and then spit on them.

You don’t get to play the righteous hero on screen while acting like a petty, hateful villain in real life.

We conservatives supported your shows.

We gave you our time.

And this is how you repay the people who actually showed up for your work?

Dood, you’re not better than us.

You’re just louder and MORE HATEFUL.

🖕YOU.

🚨PINK THE HAS-BEEN CELEBRITY PAID $25,000 TO U.S. PARKS DEPARTMENT WORKERS TO STEAL “TRUMP” LETTERS FROM THE KENNEDY CENTER SO SHE COULD BURN THEM FOR LIKES ON HER FACEBOOK PAGE — NOW SHE’S FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES!

This is what happens when washed-up celebrities play stupid games.

Pink paid government employees $25,000 to hand over the “TRUMP” letters that were removed from the Kennedy Center so she could burn them for social media clout. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro says that’s a 3rd-degree misdemeanor for bribing government workers to receive stolen property.

The three workers involved have already been fired. Pirro is now considering filing criminal charges against all of them — including Pink.

This isn’t activism. This is straight-up theft and bribery of federal employees. Pink thought she could buy stolen government property, set it on fire for likes, and walk away like nothing happened.

She was popular for about five minutes a decade ago. Now she’s looking at charges for this pathetic stunt.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Andrew Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of the United States in 1836, delivering the single greatest blow to financial tyranny in American history. You won't hear this story told correctly in any economics textbook, because it reveals how central banking works: as a government-sponsored cartel that redistributes wealth from productive citizens to politically connected bankers.

The Second Bank held a 20-year federal charter starting in 1816. It controlled the money supply, issued currency, and held government deposits. Sound familiar? Nicholas Biddle, the bank's president, wielded more economic power than any elected official. He could trigger financial panics at will by restricting credit. He bought newspapers and bribed congressmen. When Jackson opposed recharter in 1832, Biddle deliberately crashed the economy to punish him.

Jackson called it "a hydra of corruption" and he was right. The bank created artificial booms through credit expansion, then triggered busts when politically convenient. Biddle openly bragged about manipulating markets. Free market economists and Jackson both recognized the core insight: this was legalized counterfeiting with government backing, not free market banking.

The political establishment united against Jackson. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and the entire Whig Party defended the bank. Biddle spent millions buying influence. The press attacked Jackson as an economic ignoramus. Every "respectable" voice supported recharter. Jackson stood alone with the American people.

After Jackson killed the bank, the country experienced the strongest economic growth in its history. From 1837 to 1862, America operated without a central bank. Industry flourished. Wages rose. Innovation exploded. This wasn't coincidence. When you stop subsidizing financial speculation and let productive capital find its natural home, prosperity follows.

Central banks don't stabilize economies: they destabilize them for private gain.
