If you wonder why I have a bit more of an edge when I'm talking about James Talarico, this is why ๐
The only thing that stops violent men from raping you and your society are other men who are equally willing to be violent in stopping the rapists. The West has decided that the highest virtue is to quietly comply with the destruction of your civilization because to do otherwise is bigoted toward the rapists. It really is that simple.

@BurgessOwens
Milton Friedman: โKeep your eye on one thing and one thing only: how much government is spending, because thatโs the true tax.โ
โIf youโre not paying for it in the form of explicit taxes, youโre paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or borrowing.โ
HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didnโt know this. Itโs easy to check out, if you donโt believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on whatโs what and it doesnโt matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if youโre self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible]
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent โTrust Fundโ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent]
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month โ and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to โput awayโ โ you may be interested in the following.
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent โTrust Fundโ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the โtie-breakingโ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: Thatโs right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!
The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though.
Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isnโt so but itโs worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?
รa fait un moment que je me pose des questions sur le bilan (provisoire) de Milei en Argentine. On lit tout et son contraire. Alors j'ai arrรชtรฉ de lire les commentaires et j'ai regardรฉ les chiffres bruts.
L'Argentine, c'est l'expรฉrience grandeur nature que les รฉconomistes attendaient depuis 50 ans. Mรชme pays. Mรชme peuple. Mรชme culture. On change UNE variable : la mรฉthode รฉconomique.
Avant : des dรฉcennies de gestion รฉtatiste et pรฉroniste, "redistributive". Le rรฉsultat concret ? 211% d'inflation, 42% de pauvretรฉ, un รtat en dรฉficit permanent qui finance son train de vie en faisant tourner la planche ร billets.
Puis arrive Milei. Mรฉthode inverse, brutale, assumรฉe : on coupe, on dรฉrรฉglemente, on arrรชte d'imprimer.
Deux ans plus tard (photo ร son arrivรฉe (fin 2023) vs aujourd'hui) :
Inflation annuelle : 211% โ 31%
Inflation mensuelle : 25% โ ~2%
Dรฉficit public : โ5% du PIB โ +1,8% (excรฉdent)
Croissance : โ1,6% โ +4,4%
Pauvretรฉ : 42% โ 28%
Sans dรฉbat. Jugez par vous-mรชmes.
Et le point essentiel : ces gains ne vont pas "aux riches" ou "aux marchรฉs". Ils vont d'abord aux plus pauvres.
L'inflation est l'impรดt le plus injuste qui existe โ elle frappe ceux qui n'ont aucun actif pour se protรฉger. La diviser par 7, c'est rendre du pouvoir d'achat ร ceux d'en bas. Et 14 points de pauvretรฉ en moins, ce sont des millions de gens, pas une ligne Excel.
Pendant un siรจcle, on a expliquรฉ aux Argentins que l'รtat les protรฉgerait en dรฉpensant toujours plus. Rรฉsultat : un des pays les plus riches du monde en 1910, ruinรฉ. On vient d'inverser la mรฉthode. Regardez le rรฉsultat.
ร un moment, il faut accepter ce que les faits racontent : sur le terrain รฉconomique, la mรฉthode libรฉrale a livrรฉ en deux ans ce que des dรฉcennies de socialisme avaient promis sans jamais tenir. Et รงa profite d'abord aux plus modestes.
On peut dรฉtester le style de Milei โ la tronรงonneuse, l'outrance, les sorties improbables, il n'a rien d'un homme d'รtat classique. Mais on ne juge pas une politique รฉconomique au style de celui qui la mรจne. On la juge ร ce qu'elle fait ร la vie des gens.
Et les chiffres ont parlรฉ.
Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."
Israel doesn't train dogs to rape Palestinian inmates. That's a vicious, stupid lie pushed by a slimy little propagandist. But this newest blood libel is meant to distract you from the latest released evidence- including video recordings that *no credible person says are fake* of Palestinians doing the most sadistic, grotesque things imaginable on Oct 7- raping corpses while they are mutilating and murdering them, lighting genitals on fire, shooting out the eyes and genitals of helpless victims, forcing husbands to watch as their wives and children are raped and murdered-
And Palestinians did this on the *orders of their elected government* with months of planning to do exactly what they did. It wasn't spontaneous. The monstrous cruelty, the sexual degradation was the point. They knew Oct 7 wasn't going to win a war, or gain any territory. It was just an orgy of Jew hate and violence. The Palestinians were mass murdering, child rapist terrorists who did all this and were gleeful about it. They made phone calls boasting to their family members.
Did anyone in the Hamas government express remorse or regret about any of this? Or anywhere in Gaza? Of course not. They ordered it. They delighted in the extreme pain and cruelty of the Oct 7 operation against Jews.
So now some Americans, including ones who claim to be conservative, are taking the side of Hamas and claiming this was a genocide?
What do these people really think Israel was supposed to do in response to Oct 7?
Fight an imaginary "gentle" war?
No response at all?
Give up?
Childish thinking. Absurd moral preening. War is hell, but Hamas brought that hell upon Gaza.
Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.
Musk: โAfter World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We donโt even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?โ
One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.
Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.
Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.
Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.
They conquered until they collapsed.
America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.
And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.
Musk: โThe United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.โ
Almost unprecedented?
It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.
The Marshall Plan wasnโt foreign aid.
It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.
America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.
Thatโs not policy.
Thatโs a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.
Youโre being told a story right now.
That America is the villain of history.
You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.
Musk: โThereโs always like, well Americaโs done bad things. Well of course Americaโs done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.โ
Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.
The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.
And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
Musk: โThe history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning theyโre not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.โ
Probably right.
China has historically built walls, not fleets.
But the real question isnโt about borders anymore.
Weโre approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.
AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.
If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?
The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didnโt have to?
Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.
Billions lifted out of poverty.
All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.
And carries no guarantee of being repeated.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasnโt building the bomb.
It was what it didnโt do after.
Le capitalisme sort les gens de la pauvretรฉ. Et uniquement รงa.
Mais c'est la seule chose qui compte vraiment.
Imagine 100 gamins qui doivent traverser la France pour aller voir leur grand-mรจre malade. En 1800, ils sont tous ร pied. รgaux. Sauf que la moitiรฉ n'arrivera jamais. Maladie, รฉpuisement, accident. Les autres mettront 3 semaines.
C'est รงa, "l'รฉgalitรฉ" qu'on regrette.
Arrive le capitalisme. Les plus malins fabriquent des charrettes. Puis des trains. Puis des voitures. Puis des avions. Puis Elon Musk lance SpaceX et bosse sur des fusรฉes qui feront Paris-Tokyo en 40 minutes.
ร chaque รฉtape, l'รฉcart se creuse entre celui qui peut payer le mieux et celui qui prend le moins cher. Toujours.
Et ร chaque รฉtape, le moins cher d'aujourd'hui est mieux que le plus cher d'hier.
Un SMICard en 2026 prend un vol Ryanair Paris-Marseille pour 30 balles. Louis XIV, l'homme le plus puissant de France, mettait 5 jours en carrosse pour faire le mรชme trajet, en risquant de mourir d'une infection ร l'arrivรฉe.
Le pauvre d'aujourd'hui voyage mieux que le roi d'hier.
Le pauvre d'aujourd'hui mange mieux que le roi d'hier (le scorbut รฉtait frรฉquent ร Versailles).
Le pauvre d'aujourd'hui a accรจs ร plus d'informations en 10 secondes sur son tรฉlรฉphone que toutes les bibliothรจques royales d'Europe rรฉunies en 1700.
Et lร arrive le socialiste. Il regarde Elon Musk dans sa fusรฉe et dit : "C'est scandaleux. Il faut taxer."
Il ne regarde pas le SMICard dans son Ryanair. Il ne regarde pas le gamin du Bangladesh qui sort de la pauvretรฉ extrรชme parce qu'il bosse pour une usine textile qui exporte en Europe. Il regarde le sommet. Et il appelle รงa "lutter contre les inรฉgalitรฉs".
Voilร l'arnaque intellectuelle.
Parce que ce qu'il appelle "rรฉduire les inรฉgalitรฉs", c'est en rรฉalitรฉ empรชcher le bateau de monter pendant qu'il fait semblant de baisser le yacht.
Les chiffres sont lร , indiscutables. En 1800, 90% de l'humanitรฉ vivait dans l'extrรชme pauvretรฉ. Aujourd'hui, moins de 8%. Cette chute, c'est la plus grande victoire morale de l'histoire humaine. Elle n'a pas รฉtรฉ produite par une rรฉvolution. Pas par un programme d'รtat. Pas par un manifeste.
Elle a รฉtรฉ produite par des gens qui avaient le droit de crรฉer, de vendre, de garder ce qu'ils gagnaient, et de rรฉinvestir.
Et c'est prรฉcisรฉment ce moteur que la bureaucratie socialiste a capturรฉ en France.
Le mรฉcanisme est simple. Le capitalisme produit la richesse. Puis l'รtat arrive, prend 57% du PIB, redistribue une partie, et te dit : "Tu vois, sans moi tu n'aurais rien." Comme si le boulanger devait remercier le mec qui lui pique la moitiรฉ de sa fournรฉe chaque matin.
Pire : il interdit progressivement aux gens de crรฉer cette richesse. Il รฉtouffe les boรฎtes naissantes sous les normes, les charges, les autorisations, les CDI ร vie, les seuils ร 50 salariรฉs. Puis il s'รฉtonne que la croissance soit nulle. Et il en conclut qu'il faut taxer encore plus.
C'est exactement ce qu'a dรฉcrit Hayek en 1944. Un pays qui confond "รฉgalitรฉ de rรฉsultat" et "justice" finit toujours par devenir plus pauvre et moins libre. La France est le cas d'รฉcole.
Pendant ce temps, en Pologne, en Estonie, en Irlande, ร Singapour, ils ont fait l'inverse. Bas impรดts, droit de propriรฉtรฉ solide, รtat lรฉger. Rรฉsultat : ils nous rattrapent ou nous dรฉpassent en niveau de vie en 30 ans.
Le capitalisme n'est pas un systรจme qui crรฉe des riches. C'est un systรจme qui dรฉtruit la pauvretรฉ.
Et la seule raison pour laquelle on en doute encore en France, c'est qu'on a dรฉlรฉguรฉ le discours รฉconomique ร des gens dont le mรฉtier est de vivre de l'argent des autres.
Death of Hollywood.
You wonโt be missed.
Stories used to be escape. Now theyโre sermons. You pay to be insulted.
It starts with the casting.
Casting used to fit the character. Now it fits a quota.
Cleopatra. Snape. Helen of Troy. And now Achilles. Canโt even.
More effort goes into the race swap and the gender swap than into the story.
Oh and screw the Greeks I guess.
Thousands of cultures and thousands of years of human story treated like raw material for one narrow worldview, defined from one ivory tower in LA.
Even the stories themselves are gone.
Every blockbuster is a remake of a remake. IP recycled until the corpse stops twitching.
Same trauma backstory. Same girlboss arc. Same bumbling boyfriend.
Make sure while going into the quantum realm as ant-man you discuss the rent affordability crisis and how billionaires are evil. Like wtf.
Indie films starve. Originality starves. The same six studios feed you the same six stories.
Try to laugh at any of it and you get fired.
Comedy died the day cancel culture was born. You canโt laugh anymore. Someone somewhere is crying. And itโs your fault.
The funniest people in America havenโt been let in a writers room in a decade.
And the ones still inside? They think they earned a pedestal.
They didnโt. They got hired. Now they lecture you from it in $80,000 dresses about wealth inequality.
Peter Dinklage built his career as Tyrion. Then he shamed Disney into deleting the dwarves from Snow White. The movie lost $115 million. Dwarves are fine when they pay him.
Then they hand each other awards for it.
Best Picture eligibility now requires a diversity checklist. Story comes second.
They give each other gold statues for movies nobody watched.
Studio heads say men have to be retrained to like their movies. You canโt force people to eat shit.
Movies are escapes. Emotions. Other worlds.
If I wanted to be miserable, Iโd have just watched CNN or looked at my bank account after taxes.
Entertain us or sit down.
Attitude is a choice.
Gratitude is a discipline.
Bitterness is expensive.
Nobody accidentally has a great attitude.
Nobody stumbles into gratitude.
And nobody means to end up bitter, it just quietly moves in when you stop choosing something better.
Guard your peace like it cost you something.
Because it did.
Did you know, young conservative, that if you recently turned against Israel or especially Jews, you have been taken in by an Islamo-Leftist psychological operation designed to make you into their useful idiots? I'm sure that's not pleasant to hear, but it's true.
The good news is that you can do something about it. You can stop and rethink some things. Look into the topics that convinced you more objectively. You have the power to break free, and we're all hoping you do.
๐จBREAKING: DOJ charges the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with wire fraud, false statements, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The SPLC secretly funneled $3M+ in donor funds to violent racist extremist groups:
-Ku Klux Klan
-American Nazi Party
-Aryan Nation
-United Klans of America
-Unite the Right
-National Alliance
-National Socialist Movement
-Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club
-American Front
To hide the payments, SPLC allegedly opened bank accounts under fictitious entities to conceal the source and control of donor funds.
Per the indictment: an SPLC field source was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville โ made racist postings under SPLC supervision and helped coordinate transportation to the event.
FBI Director Kash Patel: "They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups โ even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes."
Acting AG Todd Blanche: "The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence. Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked."
Scheme allegedly ran 2014โ2023.
FBI calls it an ongoing investigation.
Insane!!!
Clarence Thomas' whole speech is eloquent and impactful, but I found his closing remarks particularly moving.
He makes the case against tacitly accepting injustice simply because it is socially convenient, arguing that it is incumbent on each and every individual to assume responsibility for our collective future, not simply our own personal present.
Furthermore, he argues that choosing the path of righteousness over that of least resistance creates a self-fulfilling prophecy that both improves our collective standing and makes the choice easier on the individual over time:
"Courage, like cowardice, can be habit-forming."
๐จ JUST IN: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is being praised nationwide for dropping this TRUTH on leftism and "progressivism"
"Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence, and hence our form of government. It holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from government."
"It requires of the people a subservience and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent origin of our rights."
You NAILED IT, Justice Thomas! ๐บ๐ธ
This guy is the true GOAT.
@FaraiMazhindu Iโm surprised anyone is shocked at the corruption. This has been the way the communists have taken over each country and then they become greedy despots. I grew up in Kenya. It was an amazing place when we were there. Thriving as several others were. Now they have mostly fallen.
No, Tucker Carlson, socialism is NOT Christian.
There's no such thing as "non-authoritarian" socialism. Socialism is antithetical to all Christian teaching because it places a dictatorial government in charge of everything and restricts our God-given freedom.
Promoting socialism in the name of Christianity...how is this materially different than what the Left says and does?
The Left constantly tries to manipulate peopleโparticularly Christiansโinto supporting socialism and communism in the name of their Christianity.
