Ludwig von Mises sat down in 1920 and published a paper that ended the intellectual case for socialism, even if the socialists took another seven decades to notice.

The argument was precise. Mises showed that without private ownership of the means of production, there are no real prices for capital goods. Without prices, you cannot calculate profit and loss. Without profit and loss, economic planners have no way of knowing whether they are creating value or destroying it. They are flying blind, spending real resources with no feedback mechanism telling them whether the factory, the railway, or the grain depot was worth building. Every allocation becomes a guess dressed up as a decree.

This, he called the Socialist Calculation Problem, and nobody answered it. Oskar Lange tried in 1936, proposing that socialist planners could simulate prices by trial and error. Mises read this and was unimpressed (charitably put). Lange assumed you could reproduce the function of market prices without the institution that generates them: private property, genuine exchange, real skin in the game. You cannot fake the signal and expect accurate information.

The Soviet Union spent seventy years proving Mises right. Chronic shortages, misallocated steel, surplus winter boots in Georgia in July, famine engineered by committees convinced they understood grain supply better than the price system. The USSR collapsed in 1991 under the weight of precisely the inefficiencies Mises predicted in Vienna in 1920.

You are watching this play out again today, every time a government sets energy prices, rent ceilings, or pharmaceutical price caps, and then expresses shock at the resulting shortages. The calculation problem did not expire with the Soviet Union. Bureaucrats who override price signals recreate the same blindness Mises identified. Mises told you exactly what would happen.

Sophie Cunningham: "The majority of humans are absolutely amazing… I don’t know why we let that 5-10% of people, who are kind of mean and negative, alter our brains… Yes, there are some crazies, but the majority of us are great humans..."

Aftyn Behn: “I hate Nashville.”

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed: “I hate Mackinac so much.”

Stacey Abrams: “Georgia is the worst state in the country to live in.”

Jasmine Crockett: “Texas is racist and uneducated.”

These people love running for office in places they hate. Weird.

Mike Rowe tells Bill Maher that his conservative friends “lost their minds” because he was talking to him…and his liberal friends “lost their minds” because he spoke to Glenn Beck — in the same week.

That was the exact moment Maher interrupted Rowe with a legendary one-liner that light the place on fire:

MAHER: “F*CK both of them!”

[Audience erupts in laughter and applause]

ROWE: “You know what?…”

“It was truly the first time, though, I realized I don’t think people are listening to anything I’m saying. I think they’re looking at who I’m sitting next to.”

MAHER: “Yeah, people don’t engage… I make this complaint all the time.”

“I just say to people whenever they criticize me, are you engaging with the idea?”

“If you are, we are good.”

“If you’re just saying no, you’re old, you’re White, you’re this, you’re that, or on the other side, you’re Black….”

“That’s not the idea. Engage with the idea!”

ROWE: “What a concept!”

[Applause]

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

I am so glad @mikeroweworks is having these conversations. We must have them. I think they may just be the most important conversations the country can have right now. Remember, it isn’t about the people, it is about the point, the challenge and the privilege and duty around really thinking.

I told @MarkHalperin that this story didn't start in 2020. Anthony Fauci's advocacy for gain-of-function research dates back to 2010, when he funded research in the Netherlands that introduced eight-point mutations into bird flu to make it more infectious between mammals.

A few months ago, a university professor who knows @GadSaad asked me what I think of what Prof. Saad says about Islam and Islamism.

I told him it is unbelievable that he would even ask such a question.

It shows how far the false narrative about Islam has been pushed, to the point that the plain truth Gad Saad is stating is treated as questionable.

There is absolutely no difference between Islam and Islamism.

I was raised Muslim, and the word “Islamism” never crossed my path until I encountered Western discourse.

Islam is not a religion; Islam HAS a religion.

Imagine a version of communism where Marx is a prophet and the manifesto is the holy book, that is exactly what Islam is: a political ideology with a religious aspect.

Islam is a state. Muslims are citizens of that state. It has a constitution (Sharia), it has a foreign policy doctrine (jihad), and it has a leader (the caliph).

Wherever Islam exists, it exists to rule and to replace man-made law.

Stop being afraid to say the truth.

Stop debating whether what we say is true or not.

You have been deceived into thinking there is a difference between Islam and Islamism, there is none

This guy is going to spend the next three months telling Michiganders that he's running to make their lives more affordable, but what he really wants to do is import a zillion more foreigners so they can build a Learing Center near you.

[Overton @overton_news]

Mike Rowe completely dismantles the “worker uprising” narrative behind the rise of socialism inside the Democrat Party.

Rowe pointed to one statistic that shatters that narrative: 59% of Democrats who support socialism have college degrees.

He said the reason this movement is happening is because a lot of young people wasted money on an expensive degree, “and they are pissed.”

ROWE: “I don’t know if you saw this, but the stat that got me within the democratic party right now, 59% of Democrats who support socialism have college degrees.”

“40% who support socialism don’t.”

“So this thing that’s being called a ‘worker uprising,’ it’s really not. It’s not.”

“This is happening because a lot of people with a really expensive credential are in the hole in a big way.”

“And they are pissed. And I don’t blame them honestly.”

“You can say what you want about it, but they took our advice, man.”

“They took our advice.”

“We said borrow whatever it takes. Go follow your dream. And then go get your dream job. And that was a bunch of nonsense!”

“No amount of gaslighting from the Left is ever going to convince me to green light the spread of Islam in America. I don't care how many accusations of Islamophobia.. You can call me a bigot from now till eternity. You can call me anti black somehow, anti immigrant somehow. I don't care. There is nothing you folks can say to me to convince me that the spread of Islam in America and in the west is not an issue.”

This is so refreshing to see. Majority of Americans think this way. It’s common sense. Islam is not compatible with the west and it never will be. America needs to wake up before it’s too late.

I agree wholeheartedly! No blocking any streets. No accommodations. No visas, and ramp up deportations. Ban the burka and hijab too.

[The Persian Jewess @persianjewess]

A couple of nights ago I was out with some Persian girlfriends when the conversation turned to our childhoods.

“Did your family escape Iran on a plane or were they smuggled out in the back of a truck?”

“We flew. My dad and brothers were smuggled,” one friend said.

“My parents smuggled my 14-year-old brother out so he wouldn’t be drafted into the regime’s army. For two weeks we didn’t know if he made it across the border alive,” another replied.

“My mom was pregnant when she fled with me. She gave birth alone in a hospital in Austria.”

For Iranian Jews, escaping radical Islam wasn’t a political debate. It was our family’s survival story.

Meanwhile, Western liberals embrace the very ideology our families sacrificed everything to escape, absolutely blind to the dangers of opening the West to Radical Islam.

This should piss EVERY American off.

When an American works for 40 years, they get $1,800/month Social Security.

When an illegal enters our country they are given $3,850/month in about 40 minutes.

Pathetic.

David Hoch says he contacted Amy Klobuchar for years about the fraud in Minnesota, and she never did a thing about it.

Hoch, who helped expose Minnesota’s daycare fraud with @nickshirleyy, just endorsed Lisa Demuth for Governor today.
