The application of reason to the creation of human values -- Ingenuity, innovation, creativity, the ability to produce freely based on them, and to keep the rewards of our creation -- this is what we must fight for!
Destroying buildings is not genocide. Warning people that you’re going to destroy their buildings before you do, is definitely not genocide. Stopping the war when we got our hostages back shows it never was genocide. Targeting and taking out people who murdered, raped and abducted our fellow citizens is justice, not “ongoing” genocide. The famine that never happened is not genocide. Taking quotes out of context does not prove genocide. And for all of you who continue to lie about this and treat it like it’s just a simple fact like the color of the sky? You are justifying the harming and killing of Israelis and Jews. You’ve chosen the wrong side.
Cutting wheat yesterday: roughly 100 grains harvested for each grain sown. In the 1300s on the Bishop of Winchester's manors, 5:1 was a good harvest, 3:1 a bad one. Thank you, Haber-Bosch nitrogen fixation and hydrocarbons, for feeding billions and sparing land.
Fact! I’ve never studied a war or battle where one country not participating in the conflict had the ability to save thousands of civilians (easily letting the international community create a displaced person camp just on the other side of the Egypt Gaza crossing at Rafah) and not only didn’t, but deployed military forces to the border and built a new wall to make sure not a single civilian escaped (unless the civilian paid about $10,000 - an estimated 100,00 civilians got out if they paid). The fact that the UN, UNSC, and even U.S. did not put major pressure on Egypt to do so is also a story not told.
@BasilTheGreat People were murdered because of this - fuck them and come and get me in Austin Texas where I can have all the guns that I want and I am free to use them.
Why is the New Right so infatuated with Spanish Dictator Franco? What was Spain actually like under his rule? Who was he and what did he believe?

This is amazing.
The White House waived Jones Act requirements in mid-March, and it's generated billions in economic activity and revealed tons of natural trade routes that were impossible while the Act was in effect.
We really need to permanently remove this stupid law!
Every death in Gaza is ultimately the fault of Palestinians. If the Palestinian terror groups in Gaza didn't attack Israel, didn't turn their civilian towns and cities into militarised infrastructure, didn't use human shields, didn't act on their sick, twisted ideology to go on a murder, rape and torture spree in Israel, there would be no war and tens of thousands of people on both sides, and around the wider region, would still be alive.
Socialism Everywhere — and No One Wants to Know Why
In response to recent socialist electoral victories, many are calling for for “moderation” not “extremism.” Why don’t critics want to name what extreme socialism is actually guilty of?
For those keeping score at home*, this means the US government's equity portfolio now consists of THIRTY COMPANIES - up from ZERO just a year ago. (MP Materials was the 1st last July.)
Bonus: it's all coming from the guy fighting "communism."
*Don't worry bc @CatoInstitute is
Former CBP official admits that ending the "de minimis" rule for low-value, direct-to-consumer imports didn't stop fentanyl smuggling.
Shocking, I know. https://t.co/L4xbSgP9JZ
Let me get this straight. The argument is that Israel has been trying to wipe out every Gazan, whilst at the same time flooding the place with aid, vaccinating all their children, and killing almost none of them who weren’t combatants, in terms of a significant percentage of the whole? In nearly 3 years? That’s the argument? That they’re both genocidal AND completely shit at it?
My favorite part: “Here’s how it will work” as if it’s straightforward. Who will be able to purchase those goods at those low prices? Will re-selling be illegal? Will the supply be guaranteed? I wonder how it will actually work. We’ll see. Econ 101 in action. Looking forward to it.
