Consider these words from 1920, written by French author Hilaire Belloc:
“The modern world imagines that it has outgrown religion. It has done nothing of the kind. It has merely forgotten it. And because it has forgotten it, it no longer understands itself. Men do not realize that the whole framework of their moral judgments, their political habits, and even their intellectual methods were formed within a Christian society and cannot exist long outside it. When that framework breaks, they will not find themselves enlightened, but bewildered; not free, but enslaved; not rational, but confused.”
Freedom has never been free.
Thank you to every warrior, patriot, hunter, rancher, worker, law enforcement officer, first responder, and veteran who keeps the American Spirit alive.
Happy 250th birthday to the greatest country on Earth.
God Bless America. 🇺🇸
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
I once talked to Charlie about the Bolshevik revolution
Charlie asked, "How did only a few thousand people take over the whole Russian Empire?"
"They didn't take it seriously"
My wife and I own Forest Park Pharmacy, and we don't accept insurance. None of it. That decision is exactly why we could fix what happened to a patient today.
A family came in wanting to transfer their kid's antibiotic to us. The child had already STARTED the course. Then, mid-treatment, the insurance company decided the last 14 tablets suddenly needed a "prior authorization" before the other pharmacy could hand them over. A sick kid, halfway through an antibiotic, and the answer was "please hold."
The drug is linezolid. It's a generic. It's been generic for over a decade. It treats serious gram-positive infections — the kind you do NOT want to stop antibiotics in the middle of, because an interrupted course is how you breed resistant bugs and end up right back where you started.
So why the hold-up on a cheap, common generic? Follow the fake math.
Insurance and the PBMs behind them price drugs off a number called AWP — "Average Wholesale Price." People in my industry have another name for it: "Ain't What's Paid." It's a benchmark number, not a real-world cost. On paper, the AWP for just those last 14 tablets is about $2,500.
My cash price for the same 14 tablets? $18.
Read that again. The system that's supposedly "protecting" this family from cost is the same system that inflated an $18 medication into a $2,500 line item, then slapped a prior auth on it to "review the expense" THEY invented. They manufactured the problem, then billed everyone for the privilege of solving it — and made a sick kid wait while they did it.
This is the whole game. When a drug is priced honestly, there's nothing to "manage." When it's priced off a fantasy benchmark, you get spread pricing, PA paperwork, pharmacy phone trees, and delayed treatment — all dressed up as cost control.
Here's the part nobody tells you: roughly 90% of prescriptions are low-cost generics. For the vast majority of what people pick up every day, running it through insurance does two things — raises the real cost and risks delaying your care. That's it. That's the value-add.
That's why we fired the insurance companies. No middleman deciding your kid can't finish their antibiotics on schedule. No fake prices. Just the real number, on the shelf, today.
The medication was always cheap. The insurance was the expensive part.
This idea of mass mail-in voting is not normal. You are being conditioned to accept a system designed to accommodate fraud as normal. It is not normal.
Here’s how you solve it:
-Ban mail-in voting
-Require voter ID and proof of citizenship
It’s that simple.
🚨BREAKING: Alec Penstone WW2 veteran dies aged 101.
Born in Tottenham, London, on 23 April 1925, Alec was just 15 when war broke out.
He volunteered as a part-time air raid precautions messenger during the Blitz, then joined the Royal Navy in 1943.
he trained as a Submarine Detector (ASDIC/sonar operator) in 1943, choosing the role for the extra nine pence pay.
Aboard escort carrier HMS Campania, he worked three decks down on constant action stations, listening through headphones for the sounds of U-boats, torpedoes, and mines in the harsh Atlantic and Arctic seas.
A proud face at every Remembrance Sunday, Alec later captured the world’s attention with his heartbreaking honesty: “This is not the country I fought for.”
From the Greatest Generation that stared down tyranny with raw courage thank you, Alec.
You gave everything.

Yes, Hitler was a socialist, as @elonmusk posted. And yes, today's left-wing socialists have more in common with Hitler's government than right-wing American Constitutionalists. Here's how.
When America broke away from Europe, we created something new. We didn't continue their endless search for a king to protect them. Some of their kings were good, others bad. But the government still had total control. The American idea was different: The Constitution would protect the people from the government.
Because of this idea, we developed a different political spectrum. In Europe, the left and right fight over who gets to control their big government searching for a king. On the far left is communism. On the far right is fascism. You can think of socialism as a railroad track in between. Socialism can take you to whichever extreme you choose.
In America, our far left is still communism with an all-powerful government. But our far right is anarchy - no government at all. Our Founders settled on a small government that's just big enough to avoid the chaos of anarchy. That's where the Constitutionalist right still lives.
Or at least, most of us. Nowadays, we have progressives in both parties (meaning, they'll "progress" to big government over time, instead of through a revolution). On the right, we call them RINOs. Vote for them and you basically get what the Democrats want, just packaged a little differently.
So no, the Constitutionalist American right isn't fascist. By definition, it can't be. We don't want a government anywhere near big enough to allow for that.
🇺🇸 SHOCKING: The sexual predator arrested for first-degree attempted kidnapping of a barista that was caught on video just outside of Seattle has been released from jail on cashless bail.
This is precisely why women in America are being r*ped and murdered by repeat offenders.

The Japanese society is heading to an unknown destiny, they're about to pass point of no return soon.
This video has been going viral on Japanese social media.
It shows Yashio a city in Saitama Prefecture which has seen a large influx of Pakistanis in recent years.
Japan’s legendary cleanliness is collapsing in Pakistani-heavy areas of Saitama. Garbage mountains, rats, stench — footage we’ve never seen here before. Increased immigration is literally dirtying the entire country.
Local Japanese resident @Yuki_Sugaya_
has documented everything with video footage showing scenes we have literally NEVER seen before in their country.
Japan was always world-famous for its pristine streets, perfect public order, and cultural obsession with cleanliness. That reputation wasn’t an accident — it was the result of centuries of shared values and strict social norms.But since immigration numbers surged, that entire layer of Japanese society is being damaged. One neighborhood after another is now showing the same filth, disorder, and cultural clash that locals warned about. This isn’t “diversity”
— it’s the visible erosion of the very things that make Japan Japan.
Just ONE drain in India empties 150,000,000 Liters of human shit into the Ganges River each day.
Just ONE drain empties the shit of one million Indians into the Ganges River.
This is not including all of the other pollutants, like dead bodies, tons of plastic and trash, etc.
ALL of which makes its way into the Indian Ocean, polluting & killing marine life.
There is no universal outrage, Greta Thunberg is nowhere to be found, the United Nations is silent.
India is destroying the planet and they get away with it.
But make sure you enjoy your soggy paper straws….
This man says, “let me get this straight.
When White people move into an area, it’s called “colonizing” or “gentrification”,
which is bad.
But if people of a high melanin count move into an area, that’s “cultural enrichment” and “diversity is our strength”,
which is good.
But then if those same White people don’t want any more “cultural enrichment” or are tired of “diversity” being their strength, that’s called “White Flight”,
which is bad.
So they don’t want White people to come or to go.
It’s almost as if they don’t want them (whites) to exist at all.”
He’s figuring it out.
Shocking bloodbath in Morocco as armed men massacre stray dogs in the streets ahead of the 2030 World Cup
Armed men descended on residential neighbourhoods in Nador this week, opening fire on defenceless stray dogs around 6.30am on Tuesday and Thursday.
Blood was left splattered across the streets with spent shell casings scattered on the grass after the shootings.
Witnesses described dogs being shot in cold blood, including mothers with pups cowering nearby, in scenes branded pure savagery.
Animal welfare groups have condemned the killings as an outright massacre aimed at cleaning up cities for the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
Morocco denies carrying out any cull and insists it is only running a humane trap, neuter, vaccinate and release programme.
People are already calling for the World Cup to be taken away from Morocco for this sickening act or they will Boycott it!
Yesterday, graphics on illegal immigration into the country went viral.
So we built one for legal immigration.
6.9M Department of Labor LCA filings, required by law before H-1B petitions are filed. 11 years.

🚨 President Trump just dropped this gem!
Trump saved America $298 MILLION on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool:
The historic pool, where MLK gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, was a leaking, filthy disaster.
Government bureaucrats wanted $300 MILLION and 3+ years to rip it up.
Trump said hell no.
Called in real pool experts, scrubbed the original granite, sealed it, and topped it with American Flag Blue industrial coating.
✅ $1.5–2 MILLION
✅ Done in 2 weeks
✅ Will last 40–50 years and look better than 1922
This is how you run government like a business.
Promises kept! Taxpayer dollars saved!
Andy Ogles: Democrats just STOLE the Virginia Redistricting Election with Mail-In Ballots
Take a look at these numbers:
-Early in-person: +1.6% Democrat
-Election Day in-person: +9% GOP
-Mail-in Ballots: +45% Democrat
OGLES: "Something was off... This was a coordinated, manufactured result with mail-in ballots."
49% of the state will soon have only 9% of the state's representation in Congress.
Democrats have RIGGED the system.
Hate crime? Police say a black babysitter was caught on camera savagely beating three little white boys ages 2, 4, and 6 with a belt and hanger.
We're talking about a total of 58 absolutely brutal hits.
Why isn't this all over the mainstream media?

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more.
Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged.
Here's what happened:
Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it."
And the exact emails are now PUBLIC.
Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem.
The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately."
Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call.
Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price.
Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed.
Same playbook with Hanes:
Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased."
Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins.
But it gets even worse...
Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site.
Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing.
They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS.
The mechanism is simple but terrifying:
If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers.
Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings."
Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products.
Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform.
So turns out, you were never comparison shopping.
You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors.
"Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable."
3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on.
This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat.
And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE.
"Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.
