“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”- G. Michael Hopf

Hi @MichaelsStores, is this true? You refused to frame a picture of Trump? Is it story policy to target conservatives?

[Michael A. Arouet @MichaelAArouet]

The point of no return by Richard von Mises is worth reading:

"A state becomes almost unreformable when the majority of the population is financially or structurally dependent on the state (state employees, civil servants, recipients of subsidies, grants, or transfer payments, etc.). As soon as those who net benefit from or are supported by the state outnumber those who do not, the system blocks reforms, since the majority votes out of self-interest for the preservation or expansion of state services."

Does this sound familiar? Some European countries, France, Belgium, Finland are already way beyond that point, closely followed by Germany, Spain, Austria and Italy. It works for a while, as long as markets buy more sovereign debt at reasonable interest rates. The party ends when they stop though. For France, they stopped this month, Belgium will be next.

The longer the socialist illusion persists, the more painful the inevitable cuts and adjustments will be. It’s pure arithmetic. Good luck Europe, good luck Euro. Buckle up, it won’t be pretty.

Correct.

Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.

Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.

Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.

Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.

Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.

SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.

That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.

End of story.

Out of respect for the spirit of revival that is taking place around the world, I humbly ask if everyone on my timeline who believes in the power of prayer would you please stop what you're doing to just take a moment, and post this short prayer. Not all will but I hope some will.

II Chronicles 7:14
Lord we need you ! Please sweep across this nation and heal this land. Restore our strength, renew our minds, and banish everything that is not of You.
In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

Thank you. I copied and pasted. You can too….

If you want to understand what Elon Musk is really fighting, and who is really fighting him, this is the clearest map I can give you :

new world order is coming

[U.S. Department of Justice @TheJusticeDept]

U.S. Attorney Leah Foley for @DMANews1: "The alleged mastermind behind this marriage fraud scheme is Jennifer Gonzales, a United States citizen who was allegedly responsible for fraudulently arranging sham marriages in Massachusetts for over a decade. Gonzales allegedly charged between $38,000 and $40,000 per marriage and arranged 18 to 20 sham marriages per year for over 10 years. On the low end, this conspiracy netted her $6 MILLION during the course of the alleged scam."

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

Something historic is happening across the West, and the legacy press can't see it, because the press is part of what is collapsing.

Peoples who were told for forty years that they had nothing in common are converging. Americans, French, Italians, Danes, British, Dutch. Different languages, different histories, and the same conclusion reached at the same time. They have all seen the same thing at work in their own countries: what the French call islamo-gauchisme, the alliance between the radical left and political Islam. And they are all saying no.

To understand why their hegemony is close to total collapse, you have to use their own concept. "Hegemony" comes from Antonio Gramsci, the Italian Marxist who understood that power doesn't rest on force. It rests on consent, on people accepting a worldview as obvious, as the only respectable one. That's why the left spent fifty years on what one German activist called the long march through the institutions. Universities, newsrooms, publishing houses, cultural ministries. Own the narrative and you own the country.

But hegemony has a weakness Gramsci himself understood. It dies the moment consent dies. And consent is dying everywhere at once.

They are losing the media war. In the 1970s, around 70% of Americans trusted the mass media. Today it's less than a third. In France, the gap between what the TV news says and what people see on their own street has become a joke. The gatekeepers lost the gate. An engineer with a phone can now reach more people than an evening news broadcast. The monopoly on the narrative, the foundation of the whole edifice, is gone.

And reality is finishing the job. Look at France. A movement that started in high schools ended on October 17 with city halls stormed, Limoges city hall burning and looting across Marseille, while the radical left blamed the police. The French saw it with their own eyes, without a filter. Today's polls show the radical left's candidate losing a presidential runoff by roughly two to one. You can deconstruct a text. You can't deconstruct a burning city hall.

Then comes the blow they can never recover from: abundance.

Collectivism has always been a politics of scarcity. Its whole logic is that the pie is fixed, so someone's gain is someone else's theft, so the state must take and redistribute, ration and control. That's why its latest form is degrowth. Planners need scarcity the way fire needs oxygen.

What is being built right now makes that logic obsolete. AI is collapsing the cost of intelligence. Robotics is about to collapse the cost of labor. Reusable rockets have already slashed the cost of reaching space. Elon Musk and thousands of builders like him are proving every day that the pie is not fixed. It can grow faster than anyone imagined. In a world of abundance, envy loses its grip and the planner loses his excuse. And AI does one more thing: it ends opacity. When any citizen can trace public money in minutes, the networks that live in the dark have nowhere left to hide.

So what comes next? Two things, in this order.

First, the reckoning, and this is where we have to be better than them. There will be no purges and no lists, and nobody will be prosecuted for having been wrong. Being wrong is not a crime, and we will never become what we fought. But aggravated corruption is a crime. Public money diverted to networks, fraud, abuse of office: those must be investigated, proven and judged one by one, by independent courts, with evidence, due process and the presumption of innocence. We don't jail people for their ideas. We jail people for stealing. That difference is the whole difference between a free civilization and the regimes we oppose.

Second, the reunification of the West. That doesn't mean another supranational empire run by unelected officials, which is the model that failed. It means a West of strong, sovereign nations that choose to work together. Agreements between countries that control their borders, produce their own energy, build their own AI and defend themselves, and that trade and cooperate as equals because they share the same foundations: the free individual, the rule of law, the right to build.

Gramsci's heirs spent fifty years winning the institutions. They are losing them in five, because they forgot that hegemony only lasts as long as reality cooperates.

Reality has stopped cooperating. Now it's our turn to build.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

It’s not every day you stumble across a recording in which U.S. citizens discuss plans to declare the federal government illegitimate.

Here’s one particularly alarming excerpt:

“If the federal government’s deemed to be illegitimate … then the governors become the leading governing authority under the current republic framework of our Constitution.”

And then there’s this one:

“I really want to emphasize this is not a concept for a secession. No one is talking about leaving the United States.”

Of course they’re not “talking about leaving the United States”; they’re talking about a planned transfer of governing authority outside the constitutional process—replacing the authority of the federal government with governors and outside networks.

I hope this turns out to be a deep fake or a bad practical joke—because if it’s real, it’s unbelievably frightening.

Either way, it’s a good reminder to vote carefully in November.

Gresham's Law states that bad money drives out good, and every government that has ever debased its currency has proven this true the hard way.

The mechanism is straightforward. When a sovereign declares that two coins carry equal legal value despite one containing more silver, citizens spend the inferior coin and hoard the superior one. The overvalued bad money circulates. The undervalued good money disappears into mattresses and private vaults. The state creates this distortion through legal tender laws, forcing you to accept both coins at the same face value regardless of actual metal content. Without that legal compulsion, Gresham's Law doesn't operate. Markets simply price the better money higher.

Rome did this with systematic ferocity. The silver denarius, roughly 90% pure under Augustus, fell to under 5% silver by the reign of Gallienus in the 260s AD. Citizens watched the debasement happen and responded rationally: they spent the garbage and saved whatever genuine silver remained.

Gresham's Law is a symptom, not a disease. State monopoly over money is the disease. Remove the legal tender mandate, allow competing currencies, and good money wins on merit. Thomas Gresham identified the phenomenon in 1558 through observation. The cure has been available just as long.

I honestly do not understand how any American who is not already a literal Communist or a literal Jihadist could vote Democrat after hearing what Slotkin said below.

This is LITERALLY totalitarianism. It's not the fake "fascism" the Left likes to accuse the Right of, it is the REAL THING.

Undeniably.

Irrefutably.

This is a sitting member of Congress who was in the CIA saying that dissent from what she believes will result in imprisonment.

This is straight out of Solzhenitsyn. Straight out of Orwell. This is something an early Nazi would have said in 1932 under the Weimar Republic.

Please please PLEASE share her words with everyone you know. The Democrat/Media Complex will try to bury this. It is up to us on social media, on blogs and via texts and emails to get the word out.

The only way to stop these monsters is to make sure that voters who don't really keep up on politics understand the actual threat, see it with their own eyes and hear it with their own ears.

Please. Spread the word to anyone who will listen. And even those who won't listen.

Illegal Monday

The people who say illegals pay taxes too are overlooking one minor issue.

That would mean they are stealing an identity.

A real W-2 and a real tax return require a number that matches a person. For unauthorized workers that number is almost always stolen, fabricated, or used in ways the rules do not allow. Cash work skips the number and the tax. Formal payroll on a stolen Social Security number is identity theft. The wages hit a citizen’s or a child’s record. The illegal alien files and claims dependents. The American gets the IRS notice. The employer certified the documents on the I-9.

That is not paying taxes like everyone else. That is using someone else’s name to stay on a payroll they were never supposed to be on.

If you know a company is running that arrangement, report it.

Give ICE the facts. Company name. Address. What you saw. How many. You do not have to finish the investigation.

ICE tip line: 866-347-2423 (24/7)

Online: https://t.co/VjTL3qeMos

You can leave the name field blank and still submit.

No tip, no action. The next worksite case starts when someone who saw the numbers reports them.

Bookmark this. Share or quote it. Comment if you have watched a payroll that only works with a number that does not belong to the worker. Follow for more Illegal Monday.

🚨 Woke Alert: A Massachusetts school investigated and decided that a boy that pretending to be a girl taunting, teasing, and finally opening the stall door on Luis Rivera's nine year old daughter was simply "a 9-year-old student opening an unlocked bathroom stall."

Luis describes it as voyeuristic, and he has filed a Title IX complaint, put signs on every post in town, and shown up to every school committee meeting since May. This is insane, and he is right to keep fighting.
