(1) If you are obsessed with another person's wealth, you are a loser.
(2) Do not spend time with people who think like that. Spend time with productive people whose brains never entertain such juvenile thoughts.
(3) Instead, you should have a feeling of gratitude for what you do have, which would have astonished literally everyone who ever lived in every other time and place.
(4) For one thing, for all the complaints we may have about our food supply, your diet is not limited to bread, porridge, cabbage, onions, and turnips, with very occasional meat. Instead, you have a varied and nourishing diet. You have citrus, too, and scurvy is unknown. You don't worry about seasonal starvation every year, or food spoilage. You can drink clean water instead of ale. You have fresh produce in winter.
(5) Likewise, your child's life is not at risk if he breaks his leg or has a tooth abscess. For that matter, you don't have to endure medieval dentistry.
(6) Transportation you can forget about. Before the market brought mass production to the population, you walked. You had no maps. Even our poorest people use modes of transportation that would have astonished people in previous ages.
(7) You probably like having toilets rather than chamber pots and outhouses, not to mention showers, clean water, soap that doesn't burn, deodorant, and toothpaste. Even the poor have eyeglasses, beds with mattresses, lighting at night, heat at the turn of a dial, and instant communication.
(8) You probably prefer not to have a single-room hut made of wattle and daub, with no insulation, no chimney (smoke escaped through a hole in the roof, slowly), an open hearth (which contributed to respiratory problems), a dirt floor, a thatched roof that often leaked and attracted vermin, and a shared sleeping space for everyone, often including livestock.
(9) In the old days -- in other words, all of human history -- you would have had at most two outfits, you would have dealt with course wool and linen that were itchy, heavy, and hard to clean: laundry would have been done by hand with lye, which destroyed fabric (and wasn't good for the skin, either). For footwear you may have had wooden clogs but would sometimes have gone barefoot.
(10) We can go on and on like this. Yes, of course we want even more wealth for everyone, and yes, we want to repeal everything the government and the Fed (socialists are weirdly quiet about the Fed, which is the actual exploiter they pretend capitalists are) are doing that makes housing and other things more expensive: economist Bryan Caplan says repeal of regulations alone would cut housing prices by half in many places.
(11) But for heaven's sake, how deranged and psychotic and ungrateful for our ancestors and their institutions would we have to be when, living in a way that literally every single person (even kings and queens, who had to shit in a pot) who ever lived would have envied and scarcely even believed, we're instead concerned about some people having more?
(12) The only thing -- the absolute only thing -- that makes this phenomenon possible, the only thing that allows us to live at this level and even conceive of improving it, is capital accumulation, the very thing "Diana Moreno" works day and night to undermine or destroy.
(13) "Diana Moreno" thinks we should liquidate Elon's holdings and send everyone a check for $12.
(14) She would look at a pile of seed corn and be furious that the capitalists didn't want to distribute it for consumption purposes. "I could feed lots of people with this seed corn," we can hear "Diana Moreno" saying as she destroys civilization.
(15) Richard Tawney's description of Luther is apt here: "Confronted with the complexities of foreign trade and financial organizations, he is like a savage introduced to a dynamo or a steam engine."
After 7 decades of "civil rights" activism, we have a huge black population that believes murder ought to be legal if against a white person.
Black students ought to pretend to be white on college applications, since we are said to live in a "white supremacist" society. Strangely, they do not.
That's because the truth is this: white people, in the 7 decades since the civil rights movement, crippled their own children with preferential policies that favored much less qualified black applicants in schooling and employment.
Any qualification that blacks couldn't meet at the same rate as whites had to be thrown out (or you bankrupt yourself in court by trying to show, with a team of vulture lawyers after you, that the requirement was absolutely necessary).
Countless jurisdictions have had to throw out entry exams entirely after no amount of dumbing them down could get enough black students to pass them.
The campaign against "gifted and talented" programs, meanwhile, has been driven partly by the "disparate impact" doctrine.
You've heard some of the news items. Seattle phased out its "highly capable cohort" (separate accelerated classes/schools) starting around 2021-2022, and aimed for full phase-out by 2027-2028 (with some delays). The rationale? Addressing "historical inequity" and overrepresentation of white and Asian students.
Your student can't have those programs because we've decided there are too many people in them who look like him.
Rockville Centre, New York, has long moved away from gifted tracking toward mixed-ability classes. San Francisco Unified delayed Algebra I and eliminated honors/gifted math tracks for "equity" purposes. We could go on and on.
Even though some of America's most politically "progressive" people are in education, and despite repeated and aggressive (and expensive) efforts across the country, no school district anywhere in America, no matter how progressive, has ever managed to eliminate the black-white educational achievement gap, which by 12th grade is estimated as a four-year difference.
And vastly fewer black students percentage-wise choose to take advanced-placement classes even in school systems in which such classes are open to anyone.
Given that nobody anywhere has been able to solve this problem, why, apart from hatred and spite, should bright students be singled out to be deprived of a program that benefits them?
The disparities are evident even at the very beginning of the educational process. The National Center for Educational Statistics found that blacks entering kindergarten we're already disproportionately testing in the bottom, quarter of students in reading, math, and general knowledge.
Behavioral differences are also evident that early, and they persist to the future. On average, black students are much less likely than whites to be described by kindergarten teachers as a tentative, eager to learn, and persistent in carrying out assigned tasks, and they are more likely to be described as argumentative, quick tempered, and violent.
These discipline disparities persist over time. Later in life blacks are 2 1/2 times as likely to be suspended or expelled from school as whites.
Faced with statistics, like these, so-called civil rights groups, typically accuse white teachers of arbitrarily, singling out blacks for punishment. To the contrary, black teachers have been found to be even more critical of black students than white teachers are.
Moreover, Asian students are less than half as likely as whites to be suspended or expelled, and it is unreasonable to ask us to believe that an anti-white, pro-Asian bias permeates the American educational system.
And educational disparities between the races persist even when social class is taken into account, so that comfortable explanation doesn't work.
The crime statistics tell us everything: if you based your opinions on TV or the movies, you would think the big problem in America is white-on-black violence. In fact, the reality is so overwhelmingly the opposite that most people would be shocked to learn the real numbers.
Per 10,000 whites, 3.4 violent crimes are committed against blacks. Per 10,000 blacks, 153 violent crimes are committed against whites.
As time has gone on, special accommodations for blacks, and disabilities placed on whites, have only grown more intense.
In 2023 the percentage of white men in tenure-track faculty positions at Harvard declined from 39 percent in 2014 to 18 percent. That doesn't happen by accident.
Oh, who cares about Harvard faculty, some will say.
But it reflects a society-wide problem. Here are some other numbers we now know, that also incorporate the anti-male bias in hiring:
TV/Hollywood Writers: White men comprised roughly 48% of lower-level TV writers in 2011, dropping to 11.9% by 2024.
Medical school matriculants: White men accounted for 31% in 2014, declining to 20.5% in 2025.
The Atlantic staff: In 2013: 53% male / 89% white; by 2024: 36% male / 66% white.
University faculty hiring (tenure-track): At UC Berkeley, white men comprised 52.7% of new tenure-track faculty hires in 2015, dropping to 21.5% in 2023.
Humanities/social sciences faculty hires: UC Irvine hired 64 tenure-track assistant professors in humanities and social sciences since 2020 — only 3 (4.7%) were white men.
At UC Santa Cruz, of 59 assistant professors in Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (2020–2024), only 2 (3%) were white men.
Law school matriculants: White men accounted for 31.2% of law school matriculants in 2016, falling to 25.7% in 2024.
Corporate/tech entry- and mid-level (specifically Amazon): Entry-level “professionals” (college graduates) were 42.3% white male in 2014. By 2024, mid-level managers had fallen from 55.8% white male in 2014 to 33.8% (nearly 40% decline).
Tech workforce (specifically Google): White men represented nearly 50% of the workforce in 2014, dropping to less than one-third by 2024 (a roughly 34% relative decline).
Four years ago a survey of a thousand hiring managers in the United States came out that showed 16 percent of such managers had been expressly told to stop hiring white men.
Further, 48 percent of hiring managers say they have been instructed to prioritize "diversity" over merit, and 53% believe they will lose their jobs if they don’t hire accordingly.
All across the country there are special programs, of every shape and size, for minority applicants. If you had any idea of the scale of it, you would be shocked -- no matter how much you think you know about the subject.
Instead of the kind of gratitude you might expect from people who have benefited from the most systematic effort in any society to assist a minority group -- I haven't even mentioned the literal trillions in wealth redistribution -- it is never enough, and the recipients will scream "RACIST" in your face even for pointing any of this out.
We can hope that the Karmelo Anthony case accelerates the coming of the day when whites say: we have done everything humanly possible for you, and received only hatred and ingratitude in return. You are on your own now.
It’s absolutely wild that you can be photographed on Epstein Island, evade hearings about your ties to a convicted child predator, and still show your face at an NBA finals game because you're rich and connected.
If that isn’t a broken system, what is?
3 weeks ago I ran into this little guy when jogging.
He was tiny and completely broken from living on the streets.
We’ve been fixing him up and you won’t believe Jimbo today… (1/7) 🧵
Sometimes it’s easy to forget where we have come from. I see Chance every morning and I genuinely now forget her history given how happy she is…
A year ago I adopted Chance after she had been stabbed in the stomach several times and had a tough time recovering from her injuries.
I called her Chance, hoping that she would get a second chance in life, and she really has had now.
I’d love to take the credit on this one but Big Hank is the main reason that she feels so at ease. She changed completely once she came into his care.
I know Chance might just be a small little street dog in Thailand but I think she’s a wonderful example for any of us humans who might be suffering from anything from addiction to abuse to tough situations in life. She’s proof that there is always a way back, no matter how challenging and how hard that road is. You can make it ❤️
It is criminal that our government enabled a bat virus to infect and spread between humans. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a bigger betrayal of our species.
It is equally troubling that the mad scientists who did this then gaslit all the people of the world about it, including those who CORRECTLY interpreted the evidence.
Then, of course, the very same monsters amped up fear of the Covid frankenvirus and steered the panicked public away from safe medicines, and toward an obviously dangerous gene-therapy which they falsely called a vaccine in order to lure us into acceptance.
These are among the greatest crimes EVER committed against humanity. We now have persuasive evidence of everything I have said above.
If we don't correct the record and hold the perpetrators to account, this pattern will happen again, and again, and again--shortening our life expectancy, and degrading our quality of life each time that it does.
This is our Nuremberg moment. We can not simply move on from this ghastly chapter of history. We must finish it.

I just signed a legally binding contract under penalty of perjury.
The terms are simple: if I break any one of my promises as Florida Governor, I cannot run for re-election.
Politicians in both parties have lied to us. That ends with me.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Most important point in the reported 14-point deal, because it explains the rest:
The US and its allies would support reconstruction plans for Iran worth at least $300 billion.
That tells you almost everything you need to know.
Combined with sanctions relief, it helps explain why a deal could be reached in exchange for Iran and the GCC allowing the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) to profit from normalization, reconstruction, investment flows, and regional integration, while simultaneously negotiating an exit from a Military Industrial Complex (MIC) forever-war framework with China & BRICS.
The rest was execution.
The on-again, off-again negotiations look less like failed diplomacy and more like checkpoints along a broader process.
There will be more checkpoints to come.
The war was not separate from the negotiations.
The war was part of the negotiations.
Israel was MIC bad cop.
US was FIC good cop.
IRGC was negotiation resistance.
If you’ve been following my work for years, you’ll know exactly why this matters and how it fits into the larger thesis I’ve been discussing since 2023.
And it’s no surprise that this happened today either.
SpaceX needs a pump.
The drama does not end here, but the direction will be the same in my opinion.
Follow the money.
See you on my live show tonight.
I'm too spent to offer much of an update, but she's home. She's where she needs to be. There was one final twist, which I will tell you about later. It might be meaningful down the road and it is mingling my relief with a sense of disquiet. But she's home. Thank God.
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.
In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

The jewish settlers bound his genitals 'with a plastic zip tie and pulled it tight'.
They threatened the Palestinian man: 'if you do not leave this place [his land], we will burn you and rape your women'.
My Dad once said about national healthcare, "Sounds good in principle but when you ask the government to spend your money they do a terrible job. Here are over $1.2 billion of your tax dollars being given to Pfizer to give Covid vaccines to kids and other vaccines to adults. This is a crime syndicate and there seems to be nothing--absolutely nothing--we can do to stop it. You ain't gonna solve this at the ballot box.
