Everything the government touches gets more expensive.
Everything it leaves alone gets cheaper.

Since January 2000, overall prices are up 93%. Wages are up 131%. Now look at what happened sector by sector.

Prices that exploded:
- Hospital services: +240%
- College tuition: +180%
- College textbooks: +150%
- Medical care: +140%
- Childcare: +122%
- Housing: +111%

Prices that collapsed:
- Cellphone service: -45%
- Computer software: -70%
- Toys: -73%
- Televisions: -97%

That is not a coincidence.
It is a mechanism.

Every sector in the first list runs on subsidized demand and somebody else's money. Student loans pay the tuition bill. Insurance and Medicare pay the hospital bill. Subsidy programs pay the childcare bill. When the buyer never sees the real price, the price stops behaving.

Every sector in the second list makes you pay directly, against global competition. There is no federal television loan program. So TVs got 97% cheaper over the same 25 years tuition nearly tripled.

None of this is new. In 1987, Reagan's education secretary Bill Bennett predicted that every increase in federal student aid would simply be swallowed by tuition hikes. Economists call it the Bennett hypothesis. Four decades of data have called it correct.

And yes, new cars sit on the market side at +25%. Someone will bring up the bailout, which is fair. Washington spent about 80 billion dollars on the auto rescue and taxpayers ate roughly 10 billion of it. But a one-time rescue of two companies is not a standing subsidy to every buyer. You still pay for your own car, and Toyota still exists. Even with bailouts, mandates, and tariffs, cars rose 25% while inflation ran 93%.

So the next time someone tells you healthcare and college are expensive because of market failure, show them the chart. The market is the part that worked.

🚨 BREAKING:

🇺🇸 President Donald Trump declared that if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the United States, no one will be allowed to arrest him.

🇺🇸 U.S. politician Zohran Mamdani responded by saying that if Netanyahu enters an area under his authority, he would order his immediate arrest, arguing that he considers Netanyahu a war criminal.

🇺🇸 Trump fired back, saying that the United States is under the authority of the federal government, and decisions of that nature will not be made by individual politicians. He added that anyone attempting to have Netanyahu arrested would face serious consequences, including possible removal from office.

Day of Reckoning

So the Iranian IRGC is perhaps the most audacious defenseless military in modern history. It’s lost most of its assets and yet continues to issue one threat after another. The President then is faced with further escalating or abandoning the effort and it’s clear his strength is back and he will likely take out Pickaxe mountain.

Iran has threatened to rein terror down all US allies, continuing to hold on to its declining chokehold on the global economy. So perhaps those US allies are getting close to going on the offensive as shooting missiles at all your neighboring countries at some point brings all those allies together in working to destroy such a regime.

Then the question is whether they cross the Israel line and add them to the attacks, knowing that Israel will definitely respond with full force. The Iranians seem to be leaning in that direction as you can’t blame Israel and stir up your proxies unless they are part of the battle.

So it’s likely that Iran will seek to broaden the war and at that point the missiles will be flying in all directions because then and only then do they believe they can get another ceasefire. But maybe not this time. Maybe this time the US and the allies will realize only again crushing the IRGC has a chance of bringing peace to the region.,

As Keir Starmer prepares to resign, this is an appropriate time to remind everyone that he declared a "State of Palestine" the same week as Hamas released footage of a starved Israeli hostage digging his own grave underground.

Andy Burnham will be worse by the way.

🚨DISTURBING: A Jewish doctor in Sweden was fired after reporting antisemitic abuse from a colleague.

The coworker allegedly accused 69-year-old Gregory-Zvi Wirschubsky of "killing Palestinian children," called him a "f***ing Jew," and shortly after he reported the abuse, his consulting position was terminated.

Wirschubsky, who has lived in Sweden since the age of seven and has no connection to the Israeli military, said several coworkers witnessed the antisemitic abuse, but no one intervened.

“On October 7, Israel launched an offensive on the Gaza Strip.” 👀

That’s from Amnesty International’s Genocide Report.

So she says throw the report in the garbage.

I say throw Amnesty International in the garbage.

Muslim who came to kill me and others at one of our EDL rallies is set be released from prison, against the wishes of even Lammy!

They brought shotguns, swords, knives, a nail bomb containing 458 pieces of shrapnel, and a partially-assembled pipe bomb to blow us up.

Even according to the UN, Sudan is the number one humanitarian crisis in the world.

Jihadists are slaughtering, enslaving, and displacing Sudanese by the millions, part of a nearly 1400 year-long legacy of Islam in Africa.

Saudi Arabia organised and financed this involvement, which brought financial resources to the RSF. In 2016–2017, RSF had 40,000 members participating in the Yemeni civil war. In October 2019, 10,000 members had returned to Sudan.
