@AbigailShrier Having the moral clarity to know evil for what it is and vanquish it, is distinctly different from anything as abominable as revenge.

These Iranian children,women, men are the BRAVEST people in the world

Now over 16,000 innocent Iranians brutally murdered by Islamic Regime JUST this week.

This is the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.

The people silent are the most COWARDLY people in the world.

Did you know how much Argentina’s economy has improved since Javier Milei became president?

GDP growth: from -1.6% to +5.2%

Inflation: from 211% to 31%

Poverty rate: from 42% to 28%

Argentina is the best example that free markets work. More countries should follow.

Sentiments of Venezuelans

I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable.

If you have never lived in Venezuela
If you did not grow up there
If you did not watch your country collapse in real time
If you did not stand in food lines
If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built
If you did not have to leave your home with nothing

Then shut the fuck up.

You do not have an opinion.
Your opinion does not matter.
And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there.

I’m Venezuelan.
I lived there most of my life until my early twenties.
I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes.

This is not politics to me.
This is trauma.

Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked.
There was trade.
There was money coming in.
There was investment from the US.
There were jobs.
There was food.
There was medicine.

My family had five businesses.
We had our home
We had investments.
We had a future.

Then the government started nationalizing everything.
Private companies were taken.
Foreign investors were pushed out.
Imports were blocked.
Price controls destroyed production.
Corruption exploded.

And everything died.

Not slowly.
Violently.

People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online.

They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope.

People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology.
They are trying to survive.

They are trying to find food.
Trying to find medication.
Trying to keep their families alive.

So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that”

No.
It’s not complicated.
You’re just ignorant.

China is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela.

They are stealing.
They are extracting.
They are draining what’s left.

If the US comes in and reinvests
If refineries get rebuilt
If infrastructure gets restored
If imports open back up
If food, water, and medicine become accessible again
If people can work and earn with dignity

Then yes.
Let them take all the oil they want.

Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed.

This is something to celebrate.
Not because it’s perfect.
But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope.

Hope that families can eat.
Hope that people don’t have to flee their country.
Hope that Venezuela can function again.

If you’ve never lived through a country collapsing
If you’ve never watched socialism destroy everything around you
If you’ve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation

Then again
Shut the fuck up.

This isn’t theory.
This isn’t politics.
This is lived experience.

🇮🇷 I hate to pause your Venezuela celebrations, but I have to report that right now the Iranian people are seizing and setting fire to several Revolutionary Guard bases. This is historic.

Trump on Putin and Zelensky: "They hate each other, and it makes it a little bit difficult."

Look, we “hate” Russia, including Putin, because they kill us, destroy our cities, abduct our children, and do everything they can to erase Ukraine from existence.

Putin hates us because we refuse to let him.

It’s not the same. One hate is irrational enough to justify invasion. The other is a basic, human response to being attacked. I genuinely don’t understand what’s so hard to grasp about this. I really don’t.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

The Russians do not understand the cost of all these blackouts, of all the hardships that the people of Ukraine experience and endure during this war. And this is not even a question of their morality, which they lack, but of their physical perception. Ukraine does not kill civilians. But they must understand the price of this.

Ukraine strikes back, hitting military targets and energy facilities that sell their energy resources. Russia sells its energy resources and then uses that money exclusively for war. That is why Ukraine is taking absolutely just steps. We would gladly not do this. We would gladly wish there were no war, but the Russians do not want that. For now.

That is why only pressure can stop this war. Pressure that is multidirectional. The pressure from Western countries today is not enough. Nor is there enough unity in applying that pressure. We need more pressure from the United States, more pressure from Europe. As for the Global South – we do not yet even feel their pressure on Russia to make it stop. And the second vector is Russian society itself. They are killing us. They cannot be allowed to feel comfortable. And when they no longer feel comfortable, they will begin to raise questions with their leadership.

The empirical state of climate danger today compared to the past is very clear, and very positive.

In recent decades, climate danger has been lower than ever. Climate-related disaster deaths have decreased globally by 98% over the last century.

@DutchyPatrick Socialists want the productive sacrificed to the unproductive. That morally perverse evil aside, the delusion is that the productive will remain productive.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

In 2006, Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” was peak climate fearmongering.

He showed maps of cities underwater, claiming melting ice from Greenland and Antarctica would displace hundreds of millions. He said our maps "would have to be redrawn."

18 years later, none of it has happened. Not even close. The apocalypse was always a decade away.

Meanwhile, the man selling the panic got rich. Very rich.

While you were told to feel guilty and lower your standard of living, Al Gore built a $300+ million personal fortune from the climate industrial complex.

He became the first "climate billionaire." He made his money from:

Green investment funds (Generation Investment Management)

Board seats & advisory roles

Massive speaking fees ($200k+ per speech)

Carbon credit trading

He didn't save the planet. He monetized your anxiety.

The truth is, the predictions were always more profitable than they were accurate.

If the Senate wants to "extend the Green New Scam," as they are currently working to do, they should announce this intention to the public and to the President.

If the Senate wants to "terminate the Green New Scam," they should strengthen the House's termination.

It seems the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire has finally found a government it can trust: one that stones women, funds death squads, and swears by holy scripture to burn the world down. All it took was a few turbans and a hatred for the West, and suddenly the champions of “Don’t Tread on Me” are cheering for Hezbollah.

This is what happens when a man hates government more than he loves freedom. He’ll mistake every despot for a liberator and call every act of self-defense a crime. He’ll shout “peace” while holding hands with terrorists and call it principle, when in truth it's just the last twitch of a bankrupt conscience.

These folks don’t stand against war. They kneel before anyone who promises to wage it against the country they’re too cowardly to leave and too bitter to defend. Give them a tyrant with a flag they don’t recognize, and they’ll call it resistance. Give them a democracy under fire, and they’ll call it warmongering.

Their motto should be stitched anew:
“Please tread on me—just make sure you’re not from a constitutional republic.”

There’s no wisdom here. Just the kind of ignorance that wears a costume of principle and smells faintly of gunpowder and goat hair. If Twain were alive, he might say it’s the first time he’s seen people dig their own graves and complain that the shovel is too heavy.

Seven points why the Earth will not "cross a key climate threshold in two years":

1. The claimed 1.5°C "threshold" is not a threshold determined by any sort of science and has no physical meaning.

2. The 1.5°C estimation is not possible to confirm. Between: the urban heat island effect; lack of global temperature data, especially historical; and climate hoaxer temperature manipulation, the difference between pre-industrial temperatures and present temperature is pure guesswork.

3. Even accepting for the sake of argument the climate hoaxer idea of a temperature threshold and its estimation, the Earth has exceeded 1.5°C since the apparent 2023-2024 warming spike.

4. As the WMO has so far incorrectly predicted its own threshold, why start believing it now?

5. There is no direct evidence that any sort of warming anywhere is due to GHG emissions.

6. Recall that it was as warm or warmer 1,000 years ago and warmer during the last three interglacial periods. https://t.co/WUgKU5n48E

7. Last but not least, it's been overall cooling for 485 million years, and warming for the asteroid 20,000. https://t.co/wu7T931fhC
