MINIMUM WAGE = MAXIMUM POLITICS 🍕

This Brooklyn pizza shop owner just dropped the most based, no-BS breakdown you’ll see all year.

Frank from Paesan’s Pizza was asked what he’d say to people demanding “livable wages” for teenagers working cashiers at Burger King and Hooters.

His answer? “Well, they live in their mom’s basement. What livable wage?”

Then he went nuclear:

The market dictates wages — not politicians, not activists. These are entry-level jobs for kids still in school or living at home. They’re meant to teach work ethic, skills, and how to climb: dishwasher → counter → manager → owner.

Force “livable wage” math on thin-margin businesses (10-15% profit) and you get exactly what happened to Hooters — closures, skyrocketing prices, and workers replaced by kiosks and AI.

He even says he wishes minimum wage was $25–$30 an hour… because he’d just charge more for pizza and make more money. But the numbers don’t work.

This is the entire game in one video.

Politicians don’t care about giving teenagers their first shot or teaching them the value of a dollar. They care about sounding compassionate while buying votes. Every time they jack up the minimum wage, they price the bottom rung of the ladder out of existence.

The free market isn’t cruel — it’s the only system that actually creates real opportunity and real wealth. Mandates just create unemployment, automation, and $10 coffees.

A must to listen/read...

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.

The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.

Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.

Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.

They took until there was nothing left to take.

America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.

And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Not almost unprecedented.

It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.

The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.

Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.

That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.

Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.

No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has blood in its history.

But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.

It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.

When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.

By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.

Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.

The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.

They shaped the modern world.

AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.

1945 was the first test.

AI is the last.

That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.

The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.

This is what it’s all about! Freedom is worth fighting for - and the fights not over!

[Hillbilly @JamesHu27192912]

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men
who signed the Declaration of Independence? Their story. . .

Five signers were captured by the British as traitors,
and tortured before they died.

Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.

Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army;
another had two sons captured.

Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or
hardships of the Revolutionary War.

They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes,
and their sacred honor.

What kind of men were they?

Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.

Eleven were merchants.

Nine were farmers and large plantation owners;
men of means, well educated.

But they signed the Declaration of Independence
knowing full well that the penalty would be death if
they were captured.

Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and
trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the
British Navy. He sold his home and properties to
pay his debts, and died in rags.

Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British
that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
He served in the Congress without pay, and his family
was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him,
and poverty was his reward.

Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer,
Walton , Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.

At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that
the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson
home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General
George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed,
and Nelson died bankrupt.

Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed.
The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.

John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying.
Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill
were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests
and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his
children vanished.

So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and
silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.

Remember: freedom is never free!

I hope you will show your support by sending this to as many
people as you can, please. It's time we get the word out that patriotism
is NOT a sin, and the Fourth of July means more than beer,
picnics, and baseball games. True "reflection" is a part of this country's
greatness. Please be a participant.

🎸 16 Basic Guitar Chords – Quick Guide

• The vertical lines represent the 6 guitar strings. String 1 is the thinnest string, and String 6 is the thickest.

• The horizontal lines represent the frets. When a diagram says "fret 3," place your finger between the 2nd and 3rd fret wires.

• Numbers inside the black circles indicate which fingers to use. They're just a guide—you can use different fingers if it feels more comfortable.

• X above a string = don't play that string.

• O above a string = play the string open (without pressing any fret).

• The thick line at the top of the diagram is the nut.

• Strum all the required strings in one smooth motion while avoiding any strings marked with an X.

• Chords with an m are minor chords (e.g., Em = E minor). Chords without an m are major chords (e.g., A = A major).

Practice these 16 basic chords regularly, and you'll be able to play thousands of songs.

[Roy Rogers Happy Trails Music Shop  @RoyRogers_HTMS]

In one of the coolest moments in rock history, Eddie Van Halen stood inside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History and broke down exactly how he invented his legendary finger-tapping technique.
He explained how he stumbled on the idea as a kid — inspired by piano and classical techniques — and later saw Jimmy Page playing with one hand and turned it into the explosive sound that changed guitar forever. Then he plugged in and unleashed “Eruption” live, right there in the museum.
Watching Eddie demonstrate the birth of modern tapping in such a historic setting? Pure magic. That two-handed technique went from his bedroom to stadiums worldwide and influenced an entire generation of players.
Eddie didn’t just play guitar — he rewrote the rules.
One of the greatest innovators rock has ever seen. Rest in power, EVH.
