I am watching the left propose increasingly bad (rent freeze, minimum wage hikes, huge tax increases) proposals that will wreck the economy.
This is driven by anger from young voters, who are priced out of housing, can't get jobs, and feel like the system is rigged against them.
And you know what? They are right. It is.
What I'm not seeing is any politician, Democrat or Republican, courageous enough to point out the real issue:
Boomers voted themselves huge future benefits but did not fund them, so now we are running huge deficits to pay for them while talking about raising taxes on people who weren't even born yet when those things were decided to pay the olds.
The reality is this: young people in the US, to save yourselves, you're going to have to tear down the programs for the Boomers, rationalize immigration laws to ensure you get first look at American jobs and companies have the incentive to put them here, force housing to be built, and massively cut federal (and in many cases, state) spending and the size of the government.
Any politician who is not willing to tell you the truth about this is fucking you. Trump? Fucking you. Mamdani? Also fucking you.
If you can't figure this out, things will get worse from here.
@JEChalmers You’re hurting young aspirational Australians. It’s tragic and sad. I hope this budget is swiftly reversed - Australia’s productivity and global competitiveness depends on it.
If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good.
The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX.
And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen.
Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.
Mohammad Skaf, who alongside his brother Bilal, gang raped children across Sydney, Australia, calling them "white pigs" as he abused them, has been arrested drug trafficking.
His prison sentence for the rapes was REDUCED by judges, he showed no remorse, they freed him!
Treasury’s budget speech error - which happened to favour Labor’s tax position - has gone unanswered, with the department saying it has “no further comment.” ➡️ https://t.co/BreBLrYpqi

I’m not surprised Charlie Kirk was murdered. These people are lunatics.
This is one of the clearest explanations so far of why the proposed CGT changes are economically flawed and could damage long term investment in Australia, written by former Treasury official Geoff Francis.
One of Geoff’s key criticisms is the return to inflation indexation on an asset by asset basis, something I’ve also been raising over the past week. Because inflation adjusted losses on one investment can’t offset gains on another, diversified investors can end up paying tax rates higher than their actual real returns. It also suggests the housing changes are based on flawed assumptions about property investors and will likely reduce housing supply, increase rents and hurt long term renters.
More broadly, Geoff argues the reforms do little to improve productivity or economic growth. He also points out that the additional tax revenue isn’t being used to reduce inefficient taxes elsewhere, but instead to fund more spending and debt, while the modest WATO tax offset will likely be quickly eroded by bracket creep.

Sydney Jewish student on bullying:
"They've thrown coins at me and asked if I was going to pick it up. They normally say 'I hate juice' which is commonly referred to Jews."
“They try to rile me up by pretending to sneeze. Instead of saying ‘achoo’, they say ‘a Jew,’ and a couple of people have done the Hitler salute."
@AlboMP@albomp will you and all Labor and other Ministers who vote in favour of this budget give up CGT concessions and negative gearing on all the investment properties you own (which would otherwise be grandfathered)?
I love Australia but it is getting hard.
I am pro government and I pay taxes. I believe some social welfare is important and I accept that a lot of my taxes will be mismanaged.
But seeing the prime minister stand up and tell me he is making it easier for me to buy a house while absolutely slaughtering one of the most powerful tools for social mobility feels straight out of a totalitarian nightmare.
Full depravity of Hamas during October 7 revealed for the first time: New report details how terrorists performed almost unimaginable horrors upon Israeli families https://t.co/14KfEBq7jV
They say Israel is hated. Fine. Call us monsters. Stack the UN resolutions like kindling. Let campuses boil with hate. Flood every feed with “genocide”. Well done.
Here’s the truth they can’t hashtag away: every single hostage is home. The same Hamas that butchered 1,200 people on October 7 signed a ceasefire on Israel’s terms & handed them over. Two and a half years ago, that outcome looked impossible.
Hezbollah squatted on the northern border with 150,000 rockets pointed at civilians. Hamas had turned Gaza into an underground fortress of tunnels stuffed with killers. Iran was weeks away from the bomb. Houthis treated the Red Sea like their personal shooting gallery. Syria was Iran’s open highway. Militias from Iraq to Yemen waited for the green light.
Decades.
Billions poured in.
One mission only: wipe Israel off the map.
October 7 was supposed to be the opening salvo of the final war, south, north, east, sea, all at once.
The end.
Israel didn’t flinch.
Nasrallah spent 32 years building Hezbollah into the most sophisticated terror army on earth. Israel erased him & his entire command. Now the IDF are grinding what’s left into dust.
Iran’s nuclear program, decades of lies & secret labs? The USA & Israel set it back years in a single campaign. Top scientists eliminated. Key sites bombed into rubble. Then came the decapitation: Ayatollah Khamenei, the architect of the entire nightmare, taken out in a precision strike on his compound in Tehran. The regime that ruled with iron & blood for decades is now gasping, brittle, leaderless, & staring at collapse.
Assad survived civil war, Russians & Americans. He didn’t survive the day his Iranian sponsors lost their grip. Regime gone. Highway to Lebanon sealed. Bridge burned.
Houthis thought they could strangle global shipping. Israel dismantled their long-range capabilities & shut their khat chewing mouths permanently.
Hamas? The monsters who started this nightmare? Sinwar died like the rat he was, hiding in the dirt with a stick in his hand. Haniyeh was taken out in the heart of Tehran. Their leadership is dead or scattered. Their tunnel network is a graveyard of collapsed concrete. All on Israel’s terms.
While cowards screamed from the West, Israel fought for its children’s lives & won decisively.
The north is rebuilding. Hezbollah is suffocating. Iran’s terror empire is fracturing at the seams, Gaza’s death tunnels are rubble.
The hostages are free.
Two and a half years ago Israel faced coordinated extinction. Today Israel stands as the undisputed strongest power in the Middle East.
Hashtags, protest & chants are cheap when it’s not your kids in the crosshairs.
When they scream “disproportionate,” they mean Jews refused to die quietly this time. When they yell “genocide,” they’re covering for the one Iran & its proxies openly planned.
When wolves surround your house & try to slaughter your family, you don’t stop to poll your social media approval rating. You don’t negotiate with extinction.
You fight to win.
That’s exactly what Israel did, the brutal necessity of survival.
Iran’s forty-year strangulation plan lies in ruins. Their “Axis of Resistance” is a trail of corpses & shattered delusions. The greatest coordinated threat Israel ever faced wasn’t contained. It was obliterated.
Would you trade your family’s safety for polite words from strangers online?
Israel made its choice. Life over likes. Our children’s future over their fleeting outrage. Existence over their moral lectures.
The world can keep its protests, its virtue signals, its celebrity meltdowns. Israel will keep its borders sealed, its skies clear & its people alive.
They get the trending rage. We get the win.
History doesn’t crown the loudest whiners. It remembers who refused to disappear. Israel is still here, harder, clearer, fiercer than ever before.
Not just surviving.
Dominating.
Free people don’t apologize for winning. They win.
@MaryKostakidis Ah yes. The fully evolved stance of the Australian progressive left. Defend the sovereignty of Iran while it throttles global supply chains and murders its own people.
Deny Israel’s sovereignty.
Hope that China and Russia intervene to protect freedom everywhere.
