John Lennon wrote a beautiful song about socialism.

“Imagine no possessions” he told us.

He also:
– helped write his band’s anti-tax anthem, Taxman
– incorporated his IP holdings
– moved to a lower-tax country
– fiercely protected his royalties
- drove two Rolls Royce’s and had multiple luxury homes.
– made sure even the royalty cheques for Imagine were kept safe for his estate so his family would remain wealthy in perpetuity.

If he believed it, he’d have lived it. The trouble with socialism is that even the people who love the idea won’t run the experiment on themselves.

John Lennon writing Imagine while owning two Rolls Royce Phantoms and later having a law suit to protect his royalties tells you all you need to know about socialism in practice.

It doesn’t work outside of the imagination.

NEW: President Trump pushed back after a reporter questioned the cost of the White House reflecting pool renovation, immediately turning the focus to the Obama-Biden administration's handling of the same project.

"Barack Hussein Obama spent two years and over $100 million when he tried to fix it. You know what happened to it? Never even opened."

"They were going to spend 3 to $400 million, you know, that. And it was going to take four years."

"I spent about 6, 7 weeks and I spent... probably $10 million."

"They were going to spend 400 million, I spent 10, they were going to spend four years. I spent two months, maybe less."

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.

Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.

Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

So it’s a violation of the Geneva Convention for Trump to post a tweet, but the entirety of Iranian parliament chanting “Death to America” while burning American flags isn’t?

Weird.

[Sana Ebrahimi Ledene @__Injaneb96]

As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.”

At the same time, I felt a deep envy.

Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses.

In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak.

The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference.

One side risks everything to save their own.
The other sacrifices their own to stay in power.

This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.

- (1) Colonel rescued in Iran
- (3) Planes lost ($120M-$200M)
The left loses their mind over the cost

- ($90B) dollars of equipment left behind in Afghanistan by Biden... no concerns from the left

These people are sick

@oldsman4964554 @DeptofWar I remember this cartoon! A friend and I had a Revolutionary War presentation in 7th grade and we edited it to say “England” and projected it on the overhead projector!
