Democrats in California are gonna count until they get the results they want. Then they’ll stop counting.

They’ve been cheating like this for years.

Best thing for any honest person still in California to do - leave the state and take your money and businesses with you, and never look back.

[Dustin @r0ck3t23]

Elon Musk opened the federal budget and found what both parties spent decades making sure nobody would ever see.

The receipts.

Musk: “Most of the fraudulent government payments, especially to the NGOs, go to the Democrats. Let’s say 80%, maybe 90%. 10 to 20% of it does go to Republicans.”

He didn’t say one side was clean.

He said both sides were eating.

Musk: “The honest answer is the Republicans are partly… they’re receiving some of the fraud too. They’re getting a vig.”

A vig.

That’s the word you use when the house takes a cut of every bet at the table.

That’s not governance. That’s a rake.

And when DOGE shut off the fraudulent payments, the loudest screams didn’t come from Democrats.

They came from Republicans.

Musk: “When we turn off funding to a fraudulent NGO, we’d get complaints from whatever the 10% of Republicans who were receiving the money. And they would very loudly complain.”

You tell someone 90% of the fraud funds their political opponents.

And they still fight you to keep their 10%.

Musk: “I tried telling them, ‘Well, you know, 90% of the money is going to your opponents.’”

Rogan: “They want their piece.”

Musk: “Yeah, they want their piece.”

Rogan: “And they’ve been getting that piece for a long time.”

The uniparty was never a conspiracy theory.

Musk: “The whole uniparty criticism has some validity to it.”

It’s a revenue model.

Left and right aren’t opponents. They’re co-signers on the same account.

The theater is for you. The money is for them.

Every bank on earth runs AI that flags a suspicious $47 charge before you even notice it.

The United States government somehow can’t catch billions in fraudulent payments to shell NGOs.

The technology exists. It has for years.

An algorithm doesn’t care which party you belong to. It doesn’t take a vig. It doesn’t have a donor.

It just follows the money.

And that’s exactly why they’ll never willingly deploy it.

Musk didn’t expose a partisan scandal.

He exposed the operating system of American governance.

And the most dangerous thing he did wasn’t cutting the payments.

It was proving both sides would rather protect the fraud than lose their cut.

The system isn’t broken.

It was built this way.

[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

So why aren’t you arresting these people for treason? I don’t know which is more frustrating, to know that Democrats literally staged a coup against the President of the United States, or to know that the Federal Bureau of investigation can’t find a single person to indict.

Bill Maher and John Fetterman share growing concerns that “communist” is no longer viewed as a smear on the left.

FETTERMAN: “People who are proud to be labeled as a socialist, that was like a smear… They are MORONS if they think that socialism is the answer.”

MAHER: “You said socialism, dirty word. What really was a dirty word, which isn’t anymore, is communism. I mean, this woman in New York who is Mayor Mamdani’s right-hand woman, she tweets out, ‘elect more communists.’ This guy, Graham Platner.”

FETTERMAN: “Yeah, it’s not a slur if I refer to him as a communist. That’s his own term that he used for himself.”

MAHER: “But the idea that communist is not a dirty word, I think we need to pause here and say, okay, this is a watershed mark, a moment in American history where we should pay attention.”

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Victor Davis Hanson Perfectly Explains Why the Right Shouldn't Sabotage Trump Over Iran

"What's the alternative to Donald Trump's MAGA agenda?"

Trump is delivering historic domestic wins:

- Border closed

- Deportations and self-deportations surging

- Record levels of oil and gas production

- DEI is dead

- Universities forced to follow the law

- No men in women's sports

"If you sit out or you oppose Trump, de facto — whether you know it or not — you are favoring the alternate agenda."

These victories would never have happened under a Democrat or RINO president.

We should keep pushing to end this conflict and stay laser-focused on America First priorities.

But we should not give up or help the Democrats regain power by turning on Trump.

[Sue Knows Best @sues86453]

Pay attention now!

Joe legal works in construction, has a Social Security number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.

Jose illegal also works in construction has no Social Security number and makes $15.00 per hour cash, under the table.

Ready?... now pay attention....

Joe legal: $25.00 per hour × 40 hours = $1,000.00 per week or $52,000.00 per year. Now, take 31% away for State and Federal taxes. Joe legal now has $31,231.00.

Jose illegal: $15.00 an hour × 40 hours = $600.00 per week or $31,200.00 per year. Jose illegal pays no taxes. Jose illegal now has $31,200.00.

Joe legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe legal now has $24,031.00.

Jose illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the State and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. Joe legal spends $500.00 per month for food or $6,000.00 per year. Joe legal now has $18,031.00.

Jose illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare. Jose illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe legal pays rent of 1,200.00 per month or $14,400.00 per year. Joe legal now has $9,631.00.

Jose illegal receives $500.00 per month Federal rent subsidy. Jose illegal pays out that $500.00 per month or $6,000.00 per year. Jose illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe legal pays $200.00 per month or $2,400.00 per year for car insurance. Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance. Joe legal now has $7,231.00.

Jose illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance."... and still has $31,000.00.

Joe legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline.. etc.

Jose illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline and what he sends out of the country every month....

Joe legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.

Jose illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.

Joe legal's and Jose illegal's children both attend the same elementary school.

Joe legal pays for his children's lunches while...

Jose illegal's children get a government-sponsored lunch.

Jose illegal's children have an after school ESL program.

Joe legal's children go home.

Now, when they reach college age...

Joe legal's kids may not get into a State school and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though Joe has been paying for State schools through his taxes, while...

Jose illegal's kids go to the, 'head of the class' because they are a minority.

Joe legal and Jose illegal both benefit from the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not.

Do you get it, now?

If we vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens,... we are part of the problem.

Its way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

[C-Reason🇺🇸 @CreasonJana]

In my opinion … If the war in Iran has taught us anything, it’s taught us that (or at least opened our eyes to) …

1) Europe can’t produce or follow thru with anything.

2) Europe relies on other countries outside of Europe for everything important to survive.
- Weapons
- Fuel

2) All Europe has is a Social welfare system that is running on fumes, and the people are too dependent to fix what is falling apart due to laziness.

4) Europes laziness has stopped innovation, because without the incentive of ‘possible’ wealth and advancement, most people shrug their shoulders and say “why bother?”

5) Europe makes excuses for their ineptitude because they believe they will always have the United States to bail them out of any of their problems, then they will pay themselves on the back as if they resolved their own issue(s).

Trump has seen thru this and isn’t playing their games anymore!

The truth...

[Ethan Brooks @alt_w_v_g]

Think about what just happened today.

We lit a controlled explosion in Florida, sent four humans ~240,000 miles into deep space, slingshotted them around the far side of the moon, and brought them home to a bullseye in the Pacific.

The re-entry capsule hit the atmosphere at 25,000 mph and had to thread a corridor only a few degrees wide. Too shallow and you skip off into space. Too steep and you burn.

They nailed it.

Now picture someone a thousand years ago looking up at that same moon.

They could not have imagined this. Not the math. Not the machine. Not the four people inside it. Not the idea that we would watch it live from a glass rectangle in our pocket on the other side of the world.

And yet people today are confident they know what the next 30, 50, 500 years will look like.

They do not.

No one ever does.

The cotton gin. The steam engine. The lightbulb. The airplane. The internet. The smartphone. Splitting the atom. Walking on the moon.

Every single one of them was impossible until it wasn't.

We are not at the end of the story.

We are barely past the opening chapter.

Humanity will always find a way to win.

Bullish. Always.

We live on a planet with 1.3 billion habitable years left. We've had rockets for 69 of those years. In that time, the cost of reaching orbit dropped from $54,500 per kilogram to $2,720, and SpaceX is targeting under $100 with Starship. If they hit that number, getting to space becomes 545 times cheaper in a single lifetime.

329 orbital launches happened in 2025. Almost one a day. The space economy crossed $626 billion last year and should hit a trillion by 2034. SpaceX just filed for an IPO targeting a $2 trillion valuation, worth more than every airline on Earth combined. Starship, their fully reusable rocket (both stages fly back and land), can lift 150 tons to orbit. The entire International Space Station weighs 420 tons. Three flights could put the whole thing up there.

The engineering side of this is solved. What remains is a survival problem. Researchers published a paper in Scientific Reports calculating the natural extinction rate for humans, how often we'd get wiped out by asteroid strikes, supervolcanoes, the stuff we can't control. Less than a 1-in-14,000 chance in any given year. At that rate, we'd survive millions of years, more than enough to spread across the solar system.

Toby Ord, a philosopher at Oxford who spent a decade studying how civilizations end, puts the odds of a civilization-ending catastrophe before 2100 at 1-in-6. The threats aren't from space. Nuclear war. Viruses engineered in labs that could spread before anyone understands what hit them. AI systems are smart enough to act on goals we never gave them. All things we built ourselves.

A 2017 NASA paper made this case: we have a roughly 50-year window to lock in spacefaring infrastructure before resources run thin and energy costs make a restart nearly impossible. We're 9 years into that window. Given enough time, the math takes this to 100%. The only question that matters is whether we make it through the next few decades without blowing our shot.
