Just today I was in a store with a black guy who was mumbling to himself
After he walked out a woman went to the counter and told the cashier that he had scooped several items into his bag before leaving
The cashier said he does it all the time but the company wouldn’t let her call the police because they wouldn’t do anything anyway and it looks bad
Everyone has been in this situation, they see a black person breaking the law or just the basic rules of civilized society but they stay quiet because they know that the black person will likely become violent if confronted and they will be called racist
Austin Metcalf broke the sacred unwritten law of the United States
He held a black man to the same standard he would hold a white man to and paid with his life
Milton Friedman's greatest regret.
The federal government discovered the perfect crime in 1943: make employers collect taxes before workers ever see their paychecks. You think you earn $60,000 per year, but you actually earn $75,000 and hand over $15,000 to politicians without ever touching it. The psychological difference is enormous.
Before payroll withholding, Americans wrote quarterly checks directly to the Treasury. Picture yourself sitting at your kitchen table, writing a $3,750 check to the IRS every three months. The pain was immediate and visceral. Politicians faced constant pressure to justify every dollar because citizens felt the extraction in real time.
Withholding transforms this concrete loss into an abstract accounting entry. Your employer becomes an unpaid tax collector, and you never experience the actual cost of government. Worse, most people celebrate their tax refunds as government generosity rather than recognizing them as interest-free loans they provided to politicians. The Treasury collects your money throughout the year, spends it immediately, then returns your own cash and receives gratitude.
This system enables the explosion in government spending you witness today. Defense contractors billing $640 for toilet seats, agricultural subsidies for corn syrup, and congressional salaries for 535 people who rarely show up to work. When taxation feels painless, voters stop demanding accountability for how their money gets spent.
Milton Friedman helped design withholding as a wartime emergency measure and later called it his greatest regret. Free market economists recognized that the psychological pain of direct taxation creates political pressure for fiscal restraint. The temporary always becomes permanent in government hands, and the emergency justification disappears while the extraction mechanism remains forever.
@Samwise_Ganji Fiat is a sham, the banking class is corrupt, decentralized digital currency and the blockchain are the inevitable future, and the incumbents will fight it to the death.
This isn't even an exaggeration. The talking points that get you labeled a 'Nazi' today were just vanilla Democrat talking points not even twenty years ago.
@MarkleResists@RealJamesWoods He may or may not be wrong.
But calling him stupid makes you look ignorant. Go look up Woods IQ. Its stratospherically high.
If he's wrong its not bc he's dumb.
The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of “racism” is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder!
So if police show up at a crime scene and a British boy is bleeding out and an immigrant says the British boy is racist the cops will cuff the dying British boy.
Republicans are currently at a combined 39.54% of the statewide vote for Governor and Spencer Pratt isn’t even cracking 30% in Los Angeles.
Pratt has run a phenomenal campaign on social media and I don’t want to knock him at all. He’s done a terrific job, but Los Angeles is just not interested in anything except yet more managed decline at the hands of gay race communists.
There’s absolutely nothing in California to be optimistic about. The state is dying and there’s no signs whatsoever that it’s going to voluntarily course correct any time soon.
Caleb Williams made a huge throw against the Packers on a national stage, and that throw made it onto the cover of Madden
And he just so happened to make the Jumpman pose, which Michael Jordan made famous as the face of Chicago sports
It’s a coincidence, but it feels like fate
Imagine you are a dental hygienist and live in Sweden..
You are employed to help “migrant children” with their dental issues.
As part of your job you examine the wisdom teeth development of the kids and you notice that 80% of those “kids” have fully formed wisdom teeth, implying they are not kids at all but adults older than the age of 18.
You tell the Swedish Migration Agency and they advise you to put it in writing.
When you send exact details, with examples of specific patients you are suspended, investigated and fired for disclosing private information relating to patients.
This happened to Bernt Herlitz in 2017.
When he appealed the unfair dismissal he ultimately lost and was fined about $50,000.
He and his family faced financial hardship and almost lost their home, until some generous benefactors raised money for him. Bernt remains unemployed today, despite staff shortages for dentists in his area in Gotland.
At the time, Sweden scoffed at the tests and claimed they were “discriminatory” but since then they have quietly brought in mass dental testing, for those whose age is in doubt, by the National Board of Forensic Medicine.
Bernt deserves a medal. Not vilification and unemployment.
11, 12, and 14 years old.
Raped for days by more than 20 Pakistani immigrants.
Tortured—one had her tongue nailed to the wall to keep her still while they raped her.
The police ridiculed, insulted, and ignored them.
The feminists turned the other way.
If it hadn't been for Elon Musk, who publicly shared the trial testimonies, sparking outrage from Reform UK and internal investigations, no one would have known anything.
You're not angry enough.

Family Man Beat To Death By Migrant Teenagers In Dublin.
On Sunday 17 May 2026, at around 4:15pm on Mill Road in Blanchardstown, 37-year-old Alex Coughlan was attacked by two 16-year-old boys without warning.
The defenceless Irishman was forced to his knees, pleading for mercy as one teenager repeatedly punched and kicked him in the head. The second boy filmed the assault on his mobile phone. Alex screamed for help and begged them to stop. He had already handed over his wallet and bank cards, but hesitated when they demanded his gold ring, a gift from his father.
That moment of hesitation cost him his life.
The beating continued. Alex was left unconscious on the ground. He died three days later on 20 May in Connolly Hospital from catastrophic head injuries. His family made the selfless decision to donate his organs.
Two 16-year-old boys were arrested and charged with assault causing serious harm and robbery. The main attacker is a second-generation migrant born and raised in Ireland. The other, who filmed the attack, is a migrant with dual nationality. Both were described by locals as having non-native features.
Gardai later recovered the stolen ring from one of the boys homes, and Alex’s father identified it in court.
The teenagers appeared in Dublin Children’s Court on 27 May. A judge imposed strict reporting restrictions, warning against naming them or sharing the video of the attack circulating online due to their age. Bail was refused, and both teenagers remain remanded in custody.
On Saturday 30 May, what would have been Alex’s 38th birthday, hundreds gathered in Ballyfermot to farewell him. He was remembered as the glue of his family, a kind, gentle, and selfless man who brought laughter and joy to everyone around him.
A dedicated Bupa worker and passionate rugby fan, Alex is survived by his mother Brigid, father John, sister Zara, and brothers Philip and Jack. Mourners sang Happy Birthday and Ireland’s Call. Tributes described him as a truly beautiful soul and caring human being. A private cremation followed at Glasnevin Cemetery.
While Alex’s funeral took place, the Irish mainstream media gave far more coverage and focused far more outrage on the death of Congolese national Yves Sakila, 35. Sakila, who had dozens of previous convictions and multiple prison terms for repeated shoplifting, died on 15 May after being restrained by security staff during another shoplifting attempt. His death was quickly framed by activists as Ireland’s George Floyd moment, sparking protests, political speeches, and claims of racism.
Alex’s killing, a local Irish family man robbed and beaten to death in broad daylight while pleading for mercy received far less attention. Coverage focused on the attackers age and anonymity, with zero discussion of backgrounds or nationalities.
There were no mass candlelit vigils when Alex died, no major protests demanding justice, no political statements, and no national campaigns declaring that his life mattered.
No Netflix documentaries will ever examine Alex's final moments.
Certain tragedies fit a preferred political narrative and ignite weeks of outrage. Others, like the brutal murder of a gentle Irish family man, are treated as less newsworthy. This selective response from the Irish media and political class is an insult to Alex and every family who has lost someone in similar circumstances.
Alex Coughlan’s life mattered. He deserved better, and the people of Ireland deserve the truth.
RIP Alex Coughlan.
Both teenagers are next due in court on 24 June.

Moments of the Unknown is a film to celebrate humanity. Every day for a year, I created ten-second Super-8 portraits of people across all 7 continents. To show that, as humans, we are one. My mission is to spread peace, love, and friendship through the lens of life.
The soundtrack honors the Voyager Golden Record, curated by Carl Sagan and launched by @NASA in 1977. A portrait of Earth sent out to the stars. Half a century later, that record is still traveling outside of our solar system. This artwork is its echo. A message once aimed at the stars, now returning home.
Happy Earth Day 🌎
En bien ou en mal, Wemby est tellement rafraîchissant pour la NBA et le sport en général
- Il pleure de joie " juste " après une qualification en playoffs et refuse la meta nonchalant
- Il dit clairement qu’il voulait le MVP, qu’il estime avoir été volé, et assume vouloir prendre sa revanche en playoff, Pas de discours mainstream crari : " je pense uniquement aux trophées collectifs "
- Il s’est créé une rivalité avec un joueur beaucoup moins fort que lui parce qu’il l’a battu à 15 ans, il le hagar à chaque match et va ensuite dire aux journaliste qu’il est nul 🤣🤣
- Il demande à ses remplaçants d’aller cogner les adversaires quand le match est perdu mdrr
Le poto est fou et il assume
