WARNING: You will lose IQ points if you watch this.
These are the economically illiterate rubes who Mamdani has hoodwinked and are pushing socialism. "I'm a Dior bag socialist" and she says there's enough wealth in this country where nobody should have to live in poverty, but it's being hoarded by 10 guys.
The combined wealth of the 10 richest guys in America is $3 trillion...now keep in mind, kids, they don't have that in cash. That's the combined value of all their businesses. If you were to seize 100% of all their assets, you'd have to compel the sale of all of their stock and their entire businesses. You wouldn't eve be able to get the full $3T because the forced sale of their stock and businesses would crash the entire market and you would only get pennies on the dollar. Not only that, by seizing the means of production, you've now decimated businesses that employ 2 million people...these are taxpayers. Those businesses generate wealth and tax revenue, every year, in perpetuity...if you wipe them out, you collapse the entire economy and all the tax revenue required to fund all your social services.
But even in this imaginary Mamdani world, if you were to somehow seize $3T, that might sound like a lot, but that would only fund government for 5 months. That's it. Then it's gone forever, and all the annual wealth and revenue that their businesses create would be gone, causing a cascading collapse of tax revenue that would make the entire government go belly up. Even if you were to distribute that $3T as direct cash payments to every American, you know how much that would give you? $8,900. That's it. 4 months rent, at the expense of wiping out the entire American economy.
When I tell you these communists are stupid...I mean, they are dangerously stupid. They are truly like children; they fundamentally lack any understanding of how things work, so they can LARP as adults in this fantasyland of free everything.
And listen to what she says at the end...it perfectly sums up everything wrong with these socialists: "I'm not a political scientist, so if that's wrong, I don't care"
I can't stand these people. They are going to destroy our civilization.
Victor Davis Hanson: Could France’s Crisis Happen in America?
Riots across Europe are exposing deep divisions over immigration, assimilation and national identity. From mounting cultural tensions to economic pressures and security concerns, Europe faces difficult questions about its borders, its values and its future.
As similar debates intensify in the United States, Europe’s struggles raise serious questions about the consequences of failed integration and what lies ahead for the West.

Drove from L.A. to San Diego. Wildfires across SoCal. Of course our immediate thoughts are with the firefighters battling to keep people and property safe.
But honestly, we are so done with these politicians who NEVER take the common sense action to prevent and prepare. I will:
Victor Davis Hanson: Rubio’s Warning About the Decline of the West
Marco Rubio’s speech in Athens delivered a powerful message about the importance of defending Western civilization and preserving its legacy.
Tracing the West’s roots from ancient Greece and Rome to the founding of the United States, the speech highlights the achievements of Western culture, including the rule of law, constitutional government and free-market capitalism.
But with declining confidence in Western values, anti-Western ideologies and growing threats from within and abroad, the future of Western civilization is increasingly uncertain.

What’s terrifying about this clip isn’t their ideals…these sweet gals’ hearts are certainly in the right place. What’s terrifying is they have the civic, political, and economic literacy of a 9 year old. When a charlatan like Abdul comes along with the Jr High class president schtick of “no more homework and the vending machines are all free!”, they fall for it.
I don’t know how you get to that age with ZERO understanding of supply chains, manufacturing, labor costs…but a lot of folks think that medicine and MRIs and hospitals just materialize out of thin air like unicorn farts. They’ve never built anything in their lives, so they have no concept of how things function…things are just…there. They think milk comes from the store. They think rich people don’t pay taxes, even though the top 1% fund 40% of government with their taxes already, and yet 40% of all Americans contribute ZERO federal income tax at all. These people don’t understand that you could tax the wealthy at 100% and it would only fund the government for 120 days. Then you’re screwed.
Too many Americans simply have zero understanding of how anything works, and even though they’re living in the easiest times in human history, they think things are “terrible out there”. These commie scammers roll through and promise them things that sound great, but aren’t possible in reality, and have devastating consequences if tried…but because they don’t know anything, they fall for it. Sadly, so many of our politicians and their advisors are such atrocious communicators, there’s like zero countervailing narrative to push back on the commie gobbledygook, so we are gonna have to learn the hard way. Guys…we just had a sample of socialism: Covid. We all got universal basic income, and it ended up tripling our costs and they’ll never go down. Ever. That one brief little experiment in command and control government will haunt us the rest of our lives. Bleak stuff, man.
Islamic History Expert on Why Islam Spread So Fast
"The genius of Muhammad is that he basically created a religion that catered to man's most primordial desires and lusts. All you have to do is say a few words, now you can be a pirate and a plunderer. You can go fight, you can go kill, you can r*pe, you can enslave, and you can get rich."
"And if you die, you get the same stuff in heaven, because you go straight to heaven. The greatest martyr is the one who dies in jihad, and he goes to heaven where he has nonstop sex with supernatural women known as houris. This is all in the Quran, this is Islamic doctrine."
Victor Davis Hanson: Europe Is of No Value to Us Anymore
The U.S. was forced to remove planes from a British Air Force base because Europe has become an unreliable ally.
Politicians in Britain have let out terrorists, the former director of German intelligence was a spy, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni refused to let us land in Sicily, and French President Emmanuel Macron said we can’t go into their airspace.
“When you combine green madness with Middle East madness, with socialist madness, with infertility madness...with disarmament pacifist madness, you get a cesspool.”

This is the clearest case you will ever hear for banning Muslim immigration to America.
Islam produces war, violence and instability. Not even Muslims want to live in Islamic countries. Why would we want to import that culture here?
They will not adopt our way of life, we will end up being ruled by them. Muslims aren’t looking for assimilation, they’re looking for domination and conquest.
Our Constitution was meant to govern Christians and is incompatible with Islam.
Banning Sharia Law isn’t enough, once you get the right amount of Muslims in one place, Sharia is the end result. You have to prevent them from coming here. That is the only way.
Total masterclass, @AuronMacintyre
If you're having a hard time understanding what's happening in France right now, just watch this clip from Lioness. It articulates this situation perfectly. We're watching a 50-year war on our institutions, driven by the Red-Green alliance using an army of "useful idiots" to tear down the West from within. THIS IS WHAT THEY ALWAYS DO. France is just showing us what the end of that road looks like.
America, look at the upcoming midterms. From Senate seats to local school boards, the DSA is executing this blueprint step-by-step.
France is what happens when you let them in. We stop them at the ballot box now, or we're next.

White House religious events.

led slaughter of Egyptian Christians.
* It was you who appointed your chief adviser, Valerie Jarrett, an Iranian, who is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. It was you the whole time who ushered in this mess were in
Victor Davis Hanson takes on Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker, and Ilhan Omar over a glaring double standard in their attacks on America.
They condemn the United States and Israel over colonialism, inequality, oppression, and war—but rarely apply that same scrutiny to Uganda, Turkey, Somalia, and the countries they or their families came from.
Hanson’s message is simple: before condemning America, look in the mirror.

HILARIOUS: When #Bills quarterback Case Keenum went UNDERCOVER at training camp to see how many autographs he could get from his teammates without them recognizing him.
💀💀💀
One of the greatest football undercover videos ever.
Listen to all three minutes. No notes, just a mom who doesn't play about her kids.
This is the new standard for parents who care about what their kids are learning in school.

🚨 TULSI GABBARD: “OBAMA ORDERED THE OVERTHROW OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT” 🚨
🔥 Only 38 seconds — and it changes everything.
Former DNI Tulsi Gabbard just said it out loud:
“Barack Hussein Obama ordered the overthrow of the United States government — on behalf of Hillary Clinton — after the 2016 election.”
When Americans voted for Trump, the Obama machine refused to accept it.
So they manufactured a false intelligence narrative, alleging Russian interference to delegitimize the President the people chose.
From Obama down — Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Rice, Lynch, Yates, Monaco, Clinton, Schiff, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Mueller, Rosenstein, Weissmann, Jarrett, Rhodes —
they built a shadow coup against a sitting U.S. President.
This wasn’t politics.
This was treason.
The so-called “Russian collusion” story was not a mistake — it was a calculated act of sedition to reverse an election and nullify the will of 63 million Americans.
They called it “protecting democracy.”
But they were overthrowing it.
Watergate looks like a parking ticket compared to this.
And history will remember it for what it was —
a coup against the Republic itself.
🚨OMG… THIS IS THE SINGLE GREATEST CRIME EVER PERPETRATED AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY THE ENEMY WITHIN.
Border Czar Tom Homan: “No one ever talks about it. I’ll talk about it.”
“Why did the Democrats release illegal aliens into the interior United States rather than put them into an ICE bed? Why not put them in an empty ICE bed — $127 a night — rather than a hotel at $500 a night?
The Democrats did it on purpose. If you put them in an ICE detention bed, they get a hearing in 35 days.”
In other words, you’ve been robbed, deceived, betrayed, extorted, blackmailed, and defrauded—and sedition and amnesty are what they want next.
