We tax cigarettes to reduce smoking.
We tax alcohol to reduce drinking.
We tax fuel to reduce driving.

What do you think happens when you tax employing people and running a business?

🚨 JUST IN: Sheridan Gorman's angel mom just dropped this raw truth nuke straight to Democrat members of Congress

"I don't understand why it's only the REPUBLICAN side that cares about our American children!"

"Basically what you just did, what you said was, 'I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a daughter too. I have a son. I feel your pain...'"

"You DON'T feel my pain. Because the next words out of your mouth were, 'BUT.'"

"There's no 'BUT' when your child is in a coffin!"

"And I need you to understand that. And if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here, I'm going to buy you a bench. I'm going to buy. You can put that on the record. I'm going to buy Congress the bench. And they can come and sit and hold my hand and look me in the eye and explain to me why illegal immigrants are more important than my daughter. I really want to know what because I don't understand!"

Atlas Shrugged made simple:

1. Society runs on a small number of highly capable producers – industrialists, inventors, engineers – whose work everyone depends on but takes for granted.

2. The system starts rewarding need over achievement: the more capable you are, the more you’re expected to sacrifice for those who aren’t.

3. Success gets treated like a debt – taxed, regulated, resented – until the most capable start asking why they bother trying at all.

4. One by one, led by a man named John Galt, they simply withdraw – walking away rather than keep propping up a system that punishes them for producing.

5. Without them, the whole structure collapses, revealing that the “automatic” prosperity everyone assumed was actually being generated by specific, irreplaceable people.

6. Atlas is the Titan from Greek myth, condemned to carry the sky on his shoulders forever – Rand’s stand-in for the producer class, holding up civilization while getting blamed for it.

7. “Shrugged” is the whole argument in one word: Atlas doesn’t fight, doesn’t protest – he just quietly sets the weight down. Nobody realized the sky was being held up by anyone in particular, until the day it isn’t.
You don’t want us? We just go…🤷🏻‍♂️

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

My official statement on the budget, as read in chambers this evening, before I was muted:

"I’ve been a member of this city council going on five years now. And I’ve voted yes on the budget every year so far. All of them had problems. All of them contained things I didn’t like or agree with. But I’m not here to demand perfection, I’m here to work with what we have — within reason.

Unfortunately, this year is very different. And I must vote no.

Even in the context of our dysfunctional city government, this year’s budget represents a complete departure from reality, spending more money than we’ve ever spent — precisely when we can least afford it.

We have never seen a larger single-year increase in spending in the history of this city. Requiring not only new taxes from Albany, but pension deferrals and an eight billion dollar bailout from the Governor. And even still, the revenue projections are optimistic at best.

This isn’t a ‘balanced budget’ — it’s budget by bailout. A ticking time bomb.

And it’s the beginning of a fiscal death spiral that our current leadership will not be able to pull us out of, because they lack both the experience and the seriousness to do so.

What will we do next year? And the year after?

The only responsible way for our city to spend more is to grow the economy. New businesses, new private economic development, major investment. That’s how you grow an economy, and get more money into the city budget.

But we’re doing the opposite. Deliberately chasing away everything our city needs to sustain our spending with childish political attacks on very people we need most.

Our tax base is isn’t growing. It’s leaving.

The middle class, the financial sector, and businesses of all sizes are choosing to go elsewhere. And they’re being replaced with low-income foreigners and transplants who require significant subsidies just to survive here.

We’re trading investment banks and small businesses for delivery app drivers on welfare, and nonprofit workers whose paychecks ultimately come from government spending. That isn’t growth.

And when ordinary New Yorkers complain, they’re told to shut up and leave if they don’t like it. And that’s exactly what many are doing.

This is obviously unsustainable. But nobody in this chamber really seems to care.

And what are we getting for our money? We already spend more in real dollars AND per capita on everything from schools to housing to healthcare than anyone else in the country.

We can’t even build a public bathroom for less than three million dollars.

Why would anyone believe that shoveling even MORE money into this broken system will improve anything?

It won’t. I guarantee that we’ll all be sitting here again a year from now, with the exact same problems, listening to the exact same lectures about how the city needs even MORE money, AGAIN.

At what point do we, as a City Council, start to demand results before we allow more spending? When do we demand accountability?

The answer seems to be never. Because this spending isn’t really meant to fix anything. It’s meant to keep the machine going, keep the money flowing into the special interests and nonprofits and the political allies of the Mayor, with no real consideration for anything else.

I realize a lot of people don’t want to hear this, but we are a municipal government, not a sociology experiment or a political slush fund or the United Nations.

We are here keep the lights on, keep the water running, pave the roads, and put criminals in jail. That’s it. And we would be very well advised to get back to basics. Because we’re failing on nearly every count, other than our peerless ability to hand out free money.

Shame on this Council for pretending this budget is anything other than a disaster. I know that my single vote ultimately doesn’t matter here, but nonetheless I won’t put my name on it. I respectfully vote no."

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

En 1977, une pétition paraît dans Le Monde et dans Libération. Elle réclame la dépénalisation des relations sexuelles entre adultes et enfants de treize ans. Regardez les signatures. Foucault. Derrida. Sartre. Beauvoir. Barthes. Deleuze. Guattari. Lyotard. Sollers. L'intégralité de l'aristocratie intellectuelle française, la même qui allait coloniser Yale et Berkeley, réunie sous un texte qui explique doctement que l'enfant est capable de consentir.

Ce n'est pas une anecdote. C'est la preuve.

J'ai écrit il y a quelques jours que la French Theory reposait sur une thèse unique : il n'y a pas de vérité, il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir. On m'a répondu que je caricaturais, que ces hommes étaient trop subtils pour qu'on les résume à un slogan. Très bien. Alors observons ce que produit la subtilité quand on la pousse jusqu'au bout.

Si toute norme n'est qu'une domination déguisée, alors l'interdit protégeant l'enfance est une domination comme une autre. Si toute vérité est une construction, alors l'innocence est une construction. Si tout désir vaut tout désir parce qu'aucune loi n'est légitime, alors il n'existe plus aucune raison de défendre la limite la plus élémentaire qu'une civilisation ait jamais posée. Ils n'ont pas signé cette pétition malgré leur philosophie. Ils l'ont signée à cause d'elle. C'était la conclusion logique du système. Ils ont simplement eu l'imprudence de l'écrire noir sur blanc, avant que leurs héritiers américains n'apprennent à envelopper la même logique dans un vocabulaire plus prudent.

Voilà l'homme qu'on enseigne encore en licence. Voilà le penseur qu'on cite avec révérence dans les colloques. Celui qui, en 1977, trouvait que la loi protégeait un peu trop les enfants.

Une pensée se juge à ce qu'elle rend possible. Une pensée qui, arrivée à son terme, ne sait plus dire pourquoi on ne touche pas aux enfants, n'est pas une pensée subtile. C'est une pensée morte. Et une civilisation qui continue de l'enseigner avec déférence n'est pas subtile non plus. Elle est complice.

On ne déconstruit pas l'innocence. On la protège. C'est même à peu près la seule chose qu'on n'a pas le droit de rater.

Most universities teach a pro communist view. Gender equality, climate change, wealth redistribution, critical race theory, rampant immigration, etc. So we’ve posted the first lecture from Peterson Academy’s course on (actual) Marxism here and on YouTube. Enjoy!

Justice Alito called the birthright ruling "one of the most important decisions in the history of the Court" and "a serious mistake." Thomas wrote 91 more pages. That's not a loss— it's a beachhead. ☕🧵

Conspiracy theorists rack up another win.

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

🚨 JUST IN: Sen. @BernieMoreno pledges to run former Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid’s EXACT 1993 bill ELIMINATING birthright citizenship for children of illegals

Harry Reid NAILED it 🔥: "If you break our laws by entering this country without permission and give birth to a child, we reward that child with U.S. citizenship and guarantee FULL ACCESS to all public and social services this society provides."

"NO sane country would do that, right?! Guess again."

"Is it any wonder that two-thirds of the babies born at taxpayer expense at county-run hospitals in Los Angeles are born to ILLEGAL ALIEN mothers?" 🎯

(GREAT job finding this bill @BillMelugin_)

[TheLastRefuge @TheLastRefuge2]

Dear @SecRubio and @realDonaldTrump , as a pragmatic American I respectfully suggest and recommend the @StateDept immediately institute the "Roberts Requirement" following similar visa entry protocols previously used for COVID-19 tests prior to U.S. admittance.

The Roberts Requirement: Each female visa applicant must present a valid negative pregnancy test taken no longer than 10 days prior to travel to the United States.

The certified document, negative pregnancy test, together with all related visa approvals must be presented to Customs and Border Patrol at each port of entry. Failure disqualifies the traveler.

Same protocol as COVID-19, only using pregnancy status as the disqualifying health issue. It is a lawful regulation that does not need congressional approval.

Thank You,

An American!

Elon Musk just posted “AOC is an actor”

He’s 100% correct, and here’s the proof. AOC was chosen to be in Congress by a Democrat casting call. She’s a political actor that was picked out of 10,000 applicants

AOC’s brother submitted her application and she was chosen by the Executive Director of Justice Democrats Out Of 10,000 Candidates

It’s all on camera. There is even footage of AOC and Alexandra Rojas both confirming this on camera

“Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is not really the congresswoman of New York's 14th congressional district. She is essentially an actress. She's merely playing the part of a New York congresswoman. I know this sounds crazy, but bear with me. In 2017, a group called the Justice Democrats held auditions for potential congressional candidates that they would run on their platform for various congressional seats throughout the country. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's brother Gabriel submitted her for the role”

- In 2017 Justice Democrats, a progressive PAC founded by former Bernie Sanders staffers and allies put out a public call for congressional candidates
- They received over 10,000 nominations
- AOC’s younger brother, Gabriel Ocasio-Cortez, submitted her name. AOC was working as a bartender

Justice Democrats vetted nominees and chose AOC. They then trained her and installed her as their candidate

🚨 NOW: President Trump is getting increasingly PISSED OFF that Leader Thune REFUSES to fire the Obama/Reid Senate parliamentarian, who is blocking key legislation

"The leader has the right to FIRE the [parliamentarian] at will and put somebody else there... we get SO MANY negative rulings from her."

"She's been there for YEARS, and she was put there by Harry Reid and Barack Hussein Obama."

"It's not even BELIEVABLE that she's still there."

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Democrat Senator John Fetterman says he has not seen Donald Trump cause a Constitution crisis, but Fetterman says that when he heard Zohran Mamdani say he would defy the Supreme Court on the temporary protected status of Haitians, “That’s a Constitutional crisis”

“That's a constitutional crisis, when you have the leader of the country's largest city, then we're not going to follow or honor what the Supreme Court says”

Senator John Fetterman even says the other Democrats are talking behind closed doors pushing to defy the Supreme Court

Yes, this is a Constitutional Crisis and it’s one we’re seen before, Joe Biden would also defy the Supreme Court

Democrats do blatantly illegal things and never get held accountable so they keep getting more and more bold

Turns out defunding USAID did not kill Africans.

Because the money wasn't going to Africa. It was going to buy elections and burn Tesla dealerships.
