I don’t know who needs to hear this, but…

The poorest Americans today enjoy a standard of living that the richest people on earth couldn’t buy a century ago.

Why?

Free-market capitalism is the only system in history to lift entire societies out of mass poverty.

Most people are unaware it was Gavin Newsom who orchestrated the permanently rigged voter fraud system in California

California used to count ballots within 48 hours to decide election results. Now, thanks to Newsom Voter ID is illegal and Democrats can count for weeks

Chamath on LA elections: "I’m for mathematical and statistical literacy. And what happened here is mathematically and statistically impossible… I can tell you the statistical odds that this would have happened — and it’s one in a trillion!"

USAID was a front for CIA action in foreign, and more recently U.S, elections. The left used to be against those things, back when it wasn’t the left benefitting from them.

Nobody who grew up poor wants socialism

That’s a rich kid ideology

Everyone is worried about Elon being a trillionaire.

No one is worried about the U.S. debt being almost 40 Trillion. 🤔

[Cernovich @Cernovich]

Medicare fraud is a trillion dollar industry. Notice not one Democrat is trying to end this fraud and reallocate the money to serving the poor. That’s because they and their staff and friends and family are all in on it. Skimming and scamming.

[Tim Pool @Timcast]

Elon became wealthy building systems to help humanity

Warren, pelosi, and Sanders exploited the public for personal gain

@thehill Capitalism enabled @elonmusk's wealth.
Theft and fraud enabled the wealth for most of the members of Congress.

@spacex ipo created 4k employees millionaires.

Congress created millionaires among the 535 of them.

Some people suggest that while green is expensive, the benefits are much greater

Well, no:

The benefit of net-zero is $4.5 trillion/year, but the cost $27 trillion

(much larger costs and benefits, because we're currently only doing a bit of net-zero currently)

The CA Election makes no sense when Karen Bass stays flat, NO votes for Spencer Pratt, and Nithya Raman receiving 47,000+ votes in ballot dumps out of thin air, days after the election.

The charts don't lie with the entire CA system designed for fraud.

[Defender of the Republic 🇺🇸 @realdefender45]

UPDATE: The story I broke just got a response from the Department of Justice.

Weeks ago, many in the media and political establishment tried to dismiss concerns surrounding the actions of Newark officials and members of Congress at Delaney Hall.

Today, the DOJ issued a formal letter addressing those events and reminding public officials that federal immigration facilities and federal officers are not subject to political interference.

What started as a local story has now become a matter serious enough to draw the attention of the Department of Justice.

This is why independent journalists, citizen investigators, whistleblowers, and everyday Americans who refuse to look away matter.

The truth has a funny way of eventually forcing its way into the spotlight.

We’ll see what happens next.

[The Atlas Society @TheAtlasSociety]

Limited government is not a weakness. It's a safeguard against tyranny.

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

When I was in my 20’s I was on a TV show. When Karen Bass was in her 20’s, she was training in terrorist tactics and guerrilla warfare with communists in Cuba. Back when the LA Times was still in LA, and used to tell the truth…

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

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.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

Look at NYC’s budget.

Now look at Florida’s.

A bigger budget for almost 1/3 of the population.

One clear example dismantles the delusion that this is a tax problem rather than runaway government overspending.

[Planet Of Memes @PlanetOfMemes]

Exactly!

[Kevin Patrick Mahaffey @dropalltables]

Oh yes, I remember that Bond film where the villain decarbonized the auto industry, brought fast internet to everyone on the planet, and helped paralyzed people interact with the world again.
