Cute theory, let's play it out.
A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last.
But... oh wait, there is no pile.
It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded.
The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it.
Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0.
The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession.
But it gets worse.
Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all.
Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees.
So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked.
So the monkeys sit there.
No bananas.
No rockets.
No coordinates to get more banananas.
Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer.
OH
And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.
Jay Collins is not asking Florida Republicans to discover him by accident. Ron DeSantis already saw what mattered. He endorsed Jay for the State Senate, then elevated him to Lieutenant Governor because the mission required someone tested, disciplined, and ready to help carry the fight forward. Now Jay is earning each vote one at a time and proving himself to Floridians every day rather than expecting a coronation. That matters now because the next governor will not inherit a slogan; he will inherit the unfinished work of the Florida Blueprint: property taxes, insurance, growth, water, power, education, immigration, and the constant pressure from institutions that want Florida managed instead of led. When DeSantis said the mission continues, that we will fight, we will win, and we will keep Florida strong - Jay Collins was the kind of leader he trusted to stand in that mission. A Green Beret who kept serving after losing a leg, a conservative who has governed inside the DeSantis administration, and a fighter who understands that Florida’s victories must be defended, not simply admired. If Republicans want the DeSantis style of leadership to continue, courage under pressure, results over rhetoric, and the will to fight the comfort class, Jay Collins is not just another candidate. He is the continuity choice. Learn more at https://t.co/P98z3sB9id by @CroakyWasRight
Local judge says it’s illegal to restrict migration and that America actually belongs to 8 billion foreigners—not you or your family and that no matter who you vote for you will be dispossessed. If SCOTUS doesn’t restrain these judges the people will lose all faith in the courts.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
@KeithMalinak and @PatUnleashed I'm having a grammar meltdown moment. Please people it's "the JIG is up" ( just like in the Styx song RENEGADE). A "GIG" is something you book as a band on Friday and Saturday nights.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
@CarolReMarks Celebration after the big soccer match in Budapest turns to a riot. It happens every year. It's Europe's version of burning up Philly after the Eagles win. It starts as a party then the bad actors move in to be disruptive.
🚨 NOW: A “random” supply drop has just occurred here in Newark a few blocks from the ICE facility, containing over $1,000 worth of supplies
NOBODY knows whose it is.
NOBODY knows how it got here.
And the equipment I found inside makes it seem like they’re preparing for WAR.
Lots of wound care items. Saline, bandaids, gauze sponges, you name it. It’s all here.
$1,000+ worth of stuff just randomly abandoned on the side of the road. Very convenient.
I’ve informed police.
🚨 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: I INFILTRATED the Antifa camp at Newark ICE with a hidden camera
Tens of THOUSANDS of dollars of equipment, food, and even RIOT EQUIPMENT has been supplied.
Hot food delivered every hour.
ARREST THE FUNDERS, AND THIS WILL STOP
This campaign ain’t funded by Hollywood money or a fancy political machine pulling the strings.
It’s mostly just patriots giving a little here and there because they still believe common sense matters.
If you can spare a little today, I’d sure appreciate the help.
Let's understand a few things about what's actually about to happen here if Zohran gets his way -- which he almost certainly will, unless courts intervene.
First and foremost, Cea Weaver and DSA 'organizers' will be unleashed with the full institutional and legal support of the city government to ramp up tenant complaints in targeted buildings. No complaint will be too small. No building will be too small. Everything will be treated as catastrophic. Full-scale demagoguery will ensue, complete with protests, rent strikes, street theater, and harassment of property owners.
Accordingly, the city buildings department will be weaponized to begin writing as many violations as possible in order to bolster the city's effort to justify a seizure. It won't matter how small or large the violations are, the total number will be breathlessly cited as evidence of mismanagement. It will be impossible for landlords to clear these violations in good faith.
The combination of a weaponized buildings department writing hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, rent strikes, and constant threats and harassment against landlords by militant activists will make the situation untenable for any property owner to realistically fight back, and the city will seize the property. The landlord will be lucky to walk away without prison or being beaten to death in the street by an angry mob (as Zohran's buddy Hasan Piker referred to landlords -- 'let the streets run red with their capitalist blood').
But that's only the first half of the plan, and everyone needs to pay very close attention to the big picture here, because it's hugely important and has national implications.
The properties will then be turned over to nonprofits. This is no small detail. This is in fact the whole point.
The idea here is to build up Zohran's DSA-connected nonprofits with a multbillion-dollar portfolio of hard assets -- New York City real estate. This portfolio could theoretically reach into the hundreds of billions or even the trillions, depending on how aggressive they get.
Now these highly political nonprofits would become the new land barons of New York, complete with all the political clout, leverage, and reach that goes along with it. It would be a true nightmare scenario.
As it stands now, the nonprofits depend mostly on the largesse of grants, donations, and other third-party resources to stay afloat. They are lavishly funded of course, and many do hold significant assets, but it would all pale in comparison to simply handing them the keys to a New York City real estate empire, courtesy of Zohran Mamdani and the DSA.
The resources at their disposal would be immense. The organizing potential that goes along with those resources will have national implications. Every DSA candidate in every town and city in the country would be trained, funded, and staffed by organizers with ties to the NYC nonprofit empire backed by a trillion dollars in free real estate. And they would be shameless in leveraging those resources for pure political power.
That's the game plan here. That's the whole ball of wax.
Zohran isn't interested in making housing better for anyone. If he was, we'd be talking seriously about solving the NYCHA disaster.
Hell, if he was even remotely sincere about seizing these properties from 'bad landlords' for the 'public good' he'd be focused on turning them over to the city itself, as misguided as that would be.
No, this is about nothing more than consolidating political power for the DSA. Just like everything else these people do. Giving the DSA a massive war chest backed by seized real estate.
Once you understand that they have no interest in fixing anything other than elections, it all makes a lot more sense.
