The very first task of any newly-established tyrant is to seize control of the secret police (there's always a secret police).

The second task is to get rid of the Jews.

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

The meme accidentally answers itself.

If people are selfish, capitalism channels self interest into production, trade, and value creation.

If people are generous, capitalism leaves them free to help others voluntarily.

The system works either way.

The real contradiction is claiming people are too selfish for voluntary charity, but selfless enough to hand those same people unlimited political power.

It's socialism that requires saints in theory and produces politicians in practice.

@grey4626 Now do Conway Twitty singing "It's Only Make Believe".

I don't know how much actual heartache Linda Ronstadt experienced, but she could sing a cryin' song like no one else. Listen to Long, Long Time and tell me I'm wrong.

@AVGirl4Life You can be smart, or you can be a woke liberal . . .

🚨 JUST IN: Sec. Scott Bessent PUMMELS lying Democrat Rep. Sanchez in a FIERY moment

"This is the most corrupt Treasury Dept. in our nation's history."

BESSENT: "That is a SLANDEROUS STATEMENT!"

"She seems SHORT on facts and LONG on HOT AIR!" 🔥

"It's a DISGRACE to make a remark like that!"

"The Congresswoman is SLANDEROUS, she has nothing but unsubstantiated opinions and I will NOT stand for that. There is nothing corrupt. We move at the highest levels and she just cannot get the answers she WANTS."

👏🏻👏🏻

@FloppingAces I'm generally not in favor of doxing on principle.

But I'm beginning to reconsider.

Perhaps there should be some exceptions.

[Flopping Aces @FloppingAces]

These arrogant fucking pricks at NIH thought they could just waltz through Detroit customs with 113 vials of mpox they grabbed in Congo and nobody would notice. Told the agents it was “diagnostic equipment.” What a goddamn joke. Styrofoam coolers full of select agent material, no proper paperwork, no chain of custody, and these BSL-4 clowns apparently figured their federal badges made the rules optional.

This is years after COVID. After all the hearings, all the promises, all the “we’ve learned our lesson” bullshit.

And the best the agency can do when two of their own get caught allegedly smuggling pathogen vials is issue some limp statement about activating protocols and doing an audit? Fuck that. That’s not accountability. That’s ass-covering.

Rocky Mountain Laboratories is supposed to be one of the most secure high-containment facilities in the country. Instead we’ve got scientists allegedly playing fast and loose with live material from an active outbreak, lying to customs, and the institution that employed them responds like this was a minor paperwork fuck-up.

The same people who spent years demanding the public shut up and trust the experts were apparently running their own little import operation without following basic federal transport laws.

This isn’t a system that reformed. It’s a system that got caught. And the second they did, the response was the usual bureaucratic circle-jerk instead of actual consequences.

If this is what “oversight” looks like in 2026, then the whole goddamn enterprise is rotten to the core and needs to be burned down and rebuilt from scratch.

No more internal reviews. No more “protocols.” Real fucking accountability or shut it down.

@RockChartrand "It's less a political philosophy than a trust fall with civilization."

Good one.

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

Anarcho communists are my favorite communists because they're the only ones who looked at every communist experiment ending in authoritarianism and concluded the problem was that there wasn't enough wishful thinking.

Their entire political theory is: "Nobody will own anything, nobody will enforce anything, nobody will have authority over anyone, and somehow everyone will voluntarily obey communist rules forever."

It's less a political philosophy than a trust fall with civilization.

The moment someone says, "No thanks, I'd rather keep my property and trade voluntarily," the whole theory faces its first encounter with reality and immediately starts looking for a government to pretend it isn't one.

[Art @ZarkFiles]

Most people don't audit elections. That's normal. When life is busy, it's easy to trust the professionals, convenient to assume competence, and less scary to assume honesty.
It's like a restaurant kitchen. You could ask to inspect it. Most people don't — because they don't want to know.
Someone has to look. What they have found is not reassuring.

[Rick White @RealTexasRick]

@johnkonrad That's their story, and I expect they're stickin' to it.

@physicsgeek They're not "scientists".

Get your facts straight, OK?

[Physics Geek @physicsgeek]

"Scientists": We think it's fine to unleash a bioweapon on the population because of our politics

People: ::people respond angrily and with venom::

"Scientists": Oh noes, teh backlash

Me: A real backlash would involve ropes, stakes, honey, and an anthill. Keep going like this and see how long it takes to get there.

@grey4626 "The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right name."

I prefer the term "National Socialist". I know, I know. "Nazi" has a big payload, and that's sometimes what you want.

But communists call themselves "communists", I think we should do the same with today's NSDAP.

Debra Messing slithers forth once more to vomit her venom…

This isn’t mere ignorance…it’s the pathological bleating of a mind marinated in ideological necrosis.

As an atheist…I dismiss her with the contempt she earns…not because I clutch pearls at blasphemy…but because her statement reeks of neurological rot…the classic progressive prefrontal cortex hijack where moral grandstanding supplants historical literacy and raw intellectual honesty.

Her amygdala fires on cue at any symbol of transcendent order…while her frontal lobes atrophy under the weight of Hollywood echo chambers and selective outrage addiction.

This is cognitive dissonance weaponized, a woman who champions the industrial…scale slaughter of the unborn daring to lecture on “Nazism” from her perch of sanctified barbari.

First…the historical pathology…Nazis didn’t wave Bibles as talismans…they despised and supplanted them.

Hitler’s regime orchestrated the Kirchenkampf…the Church Struggle…imprisoning pastors like Dietrich Bonhoeffer (executed for plotting against the Führer)…shuttering seminaries…and promoting “Positive Christianity”…a grotesque Aryan forgery stripped of Jewish roots and Old Testament fire.

The Confessing Church resisted precisely because Scripture condemned the pagan blood, and…soil cult.

Romans 13? Twisted by tyrants…but the full canon…from Genesis imaging every human (including the preborn) in God’s likeness (Genesis 1:27) to the prophets railing against child sacrifice (Leviticus 18:21...Jeremiah 7:31), stood as an eternal indictment of totalitarianism.

Messing’s fake Hitler…Bible meme?

A doctored lie…neurologically symptomatic of the left’s pattern.

Fabricate the threat…amplify the hysteria…pathologize dissent.

This is projection from a death cult.

Abortion activists like her traffic in euphemisms…“choice…“reproductive justice”…while wielding scalpels on the innocent.

Contrast that with the Bible’s lethal clarity…Psalm 139:13…16 weaves the fetus in the womb as fearfully…wonderfully made by the Creator.

Exodus 21 treats the unborn’s harm as capital crime.

Her “activism” isn’t compassion…it’s Moloch worship rebranded for MSNBC…a neurological lobotomy that severs empathy from the most vulnerable while hallucinating fascism in a leather…bound book.

Theologically…she’s a fool in the Proverbs mold (Psalm 14:1). Not for atheism per se…but for the venomous stupidity of slandering the text that birthed Western conscience, human rights, and the very dignity she perverts.

The same Scriptures fueled abolitionists…civil rights marchers and Nazi resisters.

Her crowd? They cheer “from the river to the sea” while bodies pile up…then clutch pearls at a President holding Scripture outside a burned church.

This is spiritual psychosis…the godless void filled with rage at any reminder of objective morality.

It triggers their limbic system like holy water on demons because deep down…they sense the accountability.

As an atheist…I see no deity…but I recognize pathology when it parades as prophecy.

Messing’s brain is wired for performative moral superiority…dopamine hits from owning the rubes…while her soul (or whatever electrochemical ghost remains) rots in service to Thanatos.

The Bible doesn’t whistle to Nazis…it thunders judgment on all idolatry including the progressive one that sacrifices children on the altar of autonomy.

She embodies the reprobate mind of Romans 1…the exchange of truth for lies…the futile thinking that ends in approving every form of evil.

This washed, up thespian…peddling death while cosplaying as antifascist…deserves the intellectual contempt of every thinking mind.

History…neurology…theology…and raw human decency eviscerate her.

The Bible stands…a sword against tyrants and butchers alike.

She's Just another symptom of a civilization flirting with self…annihilation.

@Arkypatriot What is this "stick" to which you refer?

[Chief Steven Sund @ChiefSund]

I made 13 separate requests for outside support, beginning on January 3. Every request was denied until 2:09 p.m. on 1/6, when then-@SpeakerPelosi’s Sergeant at Arms finally approved assistance.
Two minutes later, the first Capitol window was broken.
The next day, Speaker Pelosi went on national television, singled me out by name, and forced me from my position.😡

🚨 TOASTER UPDATE: I now have a MOTHERFKING FOURTH PINK TOASTER. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I think I’m starting to truly understand how Marvin Heemeyer felt. 😑 (Happy Killdozer Day, to those who celebrate.)

I’m so pissed off at @amazon and their utter incompetence at this point, that I’m ready to take a bath with one of these stupid things and call it a fking day. 🤬

@grey4626 Secretary Bessent's remarks to Sen. Warren had an important sub-text that they all missed.

"I have the goods on all of you. Every. Single. One."

[LHGrey™️ @grey4626]

In the coliseum of empires...where the clash of civilizations is no longer waged by legions but by liquidity traps, tariff blades, and algorithmic dominion over chokepoints...few men stride the marble halls of power with the predatory elegance of Scott Kenneth Homer Bessent.

Treasury Secretary in President Donald J. Trump’s second administration, Bessent is not another suit reciting Keynesian catechisms or Davos platitudes.

He is a hedge-fund forged scalpel in the fist of history:

Yale-honed, Soros-tempered, market-tempered into something colder and sharper.

A philosopher of capital who treats economics not as a dismal science but as war by other means...precise, merciless, and waged without apology.

Where lesser minds see spreadsheets, Bessent sees vectors of national survival and civilizational decline. Where the regime’s courtiers preach convergence and managed decline, he calculates rupture, retaliation, and renaissance.

Watch him in the arena of congressional hearings.

He does not debate.

He dissects.

With the calm lethality of a man who has shorted currencies, broken consensus illusions, and built fortunes atop the graves of flawed regimes, Bessent eviscerates the “ramblings of a capo in the most corrupt regime in American history.”

No theatrics. Just finality.

The intellectual violence is surgical...delivered with the quiet ferocity of one who understands that in this age, the pen may be mightier than the sword, but the balance sheet is the executioner’s axe.

This is no accidental ascent.

Bessent’s mind was forged in the crucible of real financial reckonings: the currency wars of the ’90s, the sovereign debt bloodbaths, the slow-motion suicide of monetary orthodoxy.

He carries the institutional memory of predators past...those who grasped that gold, guns, and GDP are merely different languages for the same ancient contest: who commands the future.

In an era of managed mediocrity and performative compassion, Bessent represents something rarer and more dangerous: unapologetic American economic sovereignty, wielded by a mind that refuses to kneel before Beijing’s mercantilism, Brussels’ regulatory suffocation, or Wall Street’s own captured pieties.

The article that follows is not hagiography.

It is a dispatch from the front lines of the real war...the one fought in basis points, supply routes, and reserve currency hegemony. Read it as you would a battle plan.

Because that is precisely what Scott Bessent is executing.

And the enemy...whether in Zhongnanhai, Foggy Bottom, or the rotting institutions of legacy consensus...already feels the blade at its throat.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
