Historian Johan Norberg says the Golden Age of America was brought by capitalism, by entrepreneurs like Elon Musk

He says it socialism takes over, and socialists like Zohran Mamdani keep gaining popularity, America will fall

This isn’t just a prediction, it’s based on real world examples

“Most people would say if any country is having a golden age, it's the United States. There's more prosperity than ever before, enormous wealth creation, inventions. People care about the environment for the first time in history. But you say golden ages die”

“I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in human history than in this point because we have made such remarkable progress when it comes to expanding freedoms, reducing poverty, increasing life expectancy, and so on.

But it takes a conscious effort to keep it going. The American experiment is now 250 years almost. Few golden ages live past their 250th birthday. And that's because there are constant challenges, there are constant problems, of course, but there are also these constant tensions where the institutions of freedom and of progress are controversial

People often want something else. They want a bigger government to protect them, to create stability and protection. And unfortunately, that then undermines the progress, the innovation that we need to keep golden ages going.

So If we want a golden age to keep going, we have to fight for it — One of the most worrying signs in history's you begin to take wealth and comfort for granted. It's just there and give us more of it. And then you forget what made it possible to begin with.

And you begin to attack the entrepreneurs and the businesses that create this wealth. And that's an obvious way to undermine your civilization”

“That's a lesson of history — You can focus minds, you can decide to double down on the institutions of liberal democracy, free markets, and in that case, you can unleash new waves of innovation and of progress. So there is still time. We can still save this golden age”

I did an expert search on AI (included) and asked what’s the best path forward for extending America’s Golden Age, is it capitalism or socialism. I said to take in all historical information to make the decision

Basically if we switch to socialism, it’s over. America will fall and it said in great detail why

When police are killed in the line of duty I always hear the same sentiment
"They knew the risk when they took the job."

How come we can’t apply this logic when criminals are killed during arrests?

"They knew the risk when they did the crime."

We’ve got less than a month to save America this year

By passing the SAVE America Act

An easy workweek isn’t worth losing the opportunity

Mamdani's Culturally enriched New York 🗽🇺🇸 where you can't walk your dog because it happens obviously that they hate dogs.
Look at their courage, how they become dominant over the Americans.
If you don't do something now, you will regret it tomorrow. Mamdani has no place in US.

The solution to America’s literacy problem is is simple: Start failing kids if they can’t read at a satisfactory level at an early age. It’s what they did to get a big bump in reading scores in Mississippi.

Alas, most of our corrupt education administration won’t do that.

Online user ‘Maxonymous’ films being confronted by the FBI at his home

He says he’s being targeted for his social media posts and activity. He says the Trump Admin is treasonous for doing this

What’s really going on is the FBI has information he was in contact with the account “United Worldwide” on TikTok

For those that don’t know, “United Worldwide” was linked to the recent planned terror plot targeting a UFC event at the White House grounds

So the FBI isn’t targeting over his social media activity like he claims, he’s being asked questions, very calmly and nicely, about his involvement with someone who planned a terrorist attack on Trump and the White House

This is why you can’t trust social media videos and people’s reaction. You don’t get the full story

The men involved were planning on carrying out a mass casualty event

If your country is giving $70 billion per year to other countries in foreign aid, then your taxes are too high.

Just.. stunning. A must watch.

WOAH 🚨 My jaw literally dropped listening to this

The Los Angeles Police Department came and tried to clean up Skid Row and in a response a nonprofit working with Mayor Karen Bass SUED THEM and stopped police from EVEN BEING ALLOWED TO ENTER

“LA CAN, which is another organization (an NGO), they get very, very upset and they sue the LAPD when they come and do street cleaning down here. And they're basically saying that their encampments are their Private property. Police can't enter, and they sued the police more than any other organization”

Translation: They are suing to keep the homeless population right where they are so the NGO homeless money laundering industrial complex keeps running

This same NGO has also launched protests to stop Skid Row from being cleaned up

Pure insanity. It’s criminal

Asmongold reveals the real reason people hate capitalism

"Do you know why people hate capitalism? Because capitalism is the acknowledgement that you are a failure of your own design. The reason why you don't have what you want is because you're not smart enough, you haven't put in enough work, or you haven't come up with a good enough idea to earn that thing."

"Capitalism is accountability. Socialism, communism, this is group consensus accountability. And nobody ever really gets held accountable for doing something right or wrong ever. And that's it."

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Dave Ramsey explains why the government stopped making you pay your taxes by hand, and what would happen if it started again.

RAMSEY: “If we brought this back, there would be a revolution. People would burn Washington, DC, down.

“If the tax person from the IRS had to stand in the lobby of your company, and you got paid in cash, and you had to take your cash and hand it to the tax collector and count it out every time you got paid, people would realize how big a tick on your butt the government is, how big a parasite the government is.

“And they would, I’m telling you, there’d be pitchforks and torches.

“If you actually saw and physically had to take possession of the money and then give it back in cash to the government when you got paid, people’s faces would melt off.”

KAMEL: “Just the amount of $100 bills you’re just giving to the IRS for doing nothing. That hurts. It would be a Tea Party round two.”

RAMSEY: “So it was a really brilliant idea to do income tax withholding.”

KAMEL: “Just make it all behind the scenes.”

RAMSEY: “Brilliant psychological trick.”

🚨 JUST IN: Congressman Randy Fine (R-FL) demands American traitor influencer Jackson Hinkle be ARRESTED ON THE SPOT if he reenters the country after leading a "DOWN WITH USA" in Tehran, Iran

FINE: "This is treason. Arrest this scumbag the second he lands back in America."

The DEFINITION of a traitor! Bring him maximum FAFO if he steps foot on our soil EVER again.

Now this is mind blowing

Joe Rogan “Kids Wish Network:

- They raised $127 million
- They paid to solicitors $109 million
- They spent large percentage on direct cash
- Aid to the actual kids is ONLY 2.5%

- Look at the Cancer Fund of America. LESS THAN 1% went to the actual thing”⠀

I looked more into this and it’s mind blowing

- In 2012 they raised $18.6 million, but only $240,000 went to actually granting wishes. That only about 1.3%
- Overall over a 10 year period only about 2.5% or less was direct aid
- Founder Mark Breiner pocketed almost $5 million

Cancer Fund of America is even worse

- They raised tens of millions. One of several linked orgs totaling over $187 million across their entire network
- Professional solicitors took 80+ cents of every dollar
- Less than 1% went to actual patient aid in many years

These orgs were shut down after FTC and multi-state actions in 2015. It was one of the largest charity fraud cases at the time
