I am watching the Argentina vs. Switzerland match, and an idea just occurred to me that perfectly illustrates how ridiculous the communist utopia is.

There are only 70,000 seats in the stadium. Some seats are better than others.

Someone will sit on the fifty-yard line, someone else behind a concrete pillar. Someone will be close enough to hear the players talk, while another person will watch through binoculars.

How do you decide who gets what?

In a market economy, the people who value those seats the most pay for them. It may not produce equal outcomes, but it provides a clear and voluntary mechanism for allocating scarcity.

An egalitarian system has a much harder problem.

If everyone is equal, why should one person sit in the front row while another sits in the upper deck?

Should everyone enter a lottery? If so, should the winner be allowed to win again?

Should families be treated differently from individuals? Should people who contribute more to society receive priority?

If they do, equality has already disappeared. If they don’t, incentives begin to disappear.

Scarcity creates hierarchy.

The same problem appears everywhere.

There are only so many beachfront homes. Only so many tables by the window in a restaurant. Only so many appointments with the best surgeon. Only so many parking spaces close to the entrance. Only so many tickets to a sold-out concert. Only so many places at the country’s best universities.

Every society must answer the same question: who gets the scarce resource?

Markets answer through voluntary exchange. Bureaucracies answer through rules. Political systems answer through power. Lotteries answer through chance.

Egalitarian utopias constantly collide with reality.

Human beings differ in talent, effort, preferences, luck, ambition, and the value they place on particular goods.

Scarcity ensures that not everyone can have everything they want.

The irony is that societies built in the name of equality rarely eliminate hierarchy. They merely change who sits in the front row. Instead of customers choosing with their own money, officials choose through political influence, connections, or administrative power. The privileged class does not disappear; it simply changes its name.

The front row always exists. The only question is who decides who gets to sit there.

I have $30. So does my neighbor.

I spend my $30 on a live chicken. The chicken lays eggs. I eat some eggs and sell the rest. After a few days, I have made enough money to buy another chicken. That new chicken also produces eggs, so then I make money to buy more chickens. Soon, I have a substantial chicken farm, and I'm making a living selling eggs. I have achieved success.

My neighbor, on the other hand, spends his $30 on a pizza. He eats the pizza and now no longer has $30. He does not profit from his initial $30, so he has no success. He loses.

Did I contribute to my neighbor's loss?

Mark Twain regarding the Koran

“That is a simple rule, and easy to remember. When I, a thoughtful and unbiased Presbyterian, examine the Koran, I know that beyond any question every Mohammedan is insane; not in all things, but in religious matters. When a thoughtful and unbiased Mohammedan examines the Westminster Catechism, he knows that beyond any question I am spiritually insane. I cannot prove to him that he is insane, because you never can prove anything to a lunatic—for that is a part of his insanity and the evidence of it.”

Tim Walz just said, “So what if he raped some children? Things happen!… but if we allow for him to be deported, that means Trump and MAGA wins!”

You know what that makes Democrats? Pedo protectors. Don’t let them ever again project that onto anyone else.

Dr. Nazarian explains how, in 1979, many Iranian leftists, secularists, and women’s liberation advocates supported the overthrow of the Shah, believing the Islamists would help them achieve progressive goals. They thought they could use or control the Islamists. In reality, the Islamists were using the leftists as useful idiots. Once in power, the Islamists purged and oppressed those same leftists.

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

I've said this before and I'll say it again.

We are in a soft secession under Zohran. He considers New York an independent city-state with its own foreign policy, immigration policy, and economic policy. He does not recognize the authority of the federal government except to the extent he can extract money or political wins from it.

The intent is to use the resources and authority of New York City to wage war against the federal government and the rest of the country. The DSA is quite open about it. They're telling us what they plan to do, and Zohran is executing.

Colluding with the Iranians was just another means to that end. They will collude with any and all of our enemies, because the stated goal of the DSA is to dismantle the country from within. Again, they say all of this out loud. No inferences necessary here.

In this particular case, the meeting with the Iranians was sidelined by the State Department. But the intention is crystal clear, and just because a high-profile meeting was stopped doesn't mean there isn't back channel communication and cooperation happening between the DSA/Mamdani admin and the Iranians. Obviously there is. Meetings like this don't just materialize out of thin air, and ties between the DSA and Iranian-linked fronts like the People's Forum are too many to count.

Now what are we actually going to do about this?

We're WAY past the point that it can honestly be argued that the DSA isn't an insurgency determined to bring down the country. I really think it requires a military solution now; take this out of the corrupt civil court system and use the military to roll up the DSA and charge them as revolutionary insurgents. Do it while we still can and avoid inevitable future bloodshed.

ALL CRIME STATISTICS ARE A LIE!

I worked as a Border Patrol Agent for 24 years, retired and was rehired for ICE.

Every and mean EVERY Mexican, Central and South American illegal we arrested and processed was placed under the WHITE race!

In 25 years in law enforcement, if I had a dollar for every black African, middle eastern and “Latino” men that I processed that had already been labeled WHITE, I would be rich!

Whatever crime statistics you are force fed by the government, it is all a lie!

[Clandestine @WarClandestine]

I think Mamdani might end up being the best thing that ever happened to us.

Why? Because he is openly collaborating with our enemies in wartime. He is paving the way for Trump to declare the Dems as UNLAWFUL ENEMY COMBATANTS!

The Dems are collaborating with our direct enemies in wartime, and that’s not even mentioning aiding and abetting our enemies with their consistent stream of anti-American and pro-Iran MSM propaganda and disinformation. Also, the Dems refused to enforce US law and defend our borders, allowing our enemies’ insurgents to walk across our border, in which the Dems harbor them in “sanctuary” cities.

Well over 99% of people have no idea just how severe our situation is. This is a zero-sum game between the American People, and Communist/Globalist insurgents seeking to overthrow this nation from within.

And if anyone thinks Trump doesn’t have the stones to do something about it, you are mistaken. The process is already long underway. Trump and the US MIL have been setting the stage this entire time. Trump is going to save this nation, and he told us many times he is willing to use the full array of powers as Commander in Chief to do it.

Bookmark this post. One day, the Dems will be officially labeled as “unlawful enemy combatants”, and we will try them as literal terrorists via military tribunal.

[Mike Kobe (Wild Horse) 🪶 @LrdofthePlains]

During King William's war, Abenaki tribesmen killed 15 children in this particular settlement before taking Hannah Duston and her baby.

They killed the baby (presumably to stop it making noise) and when they went to sleep, Hannah slipped out of her bonds and killed ten(!) of the Abenaki in their sleep with a hatchet. She then scalped them, which to me sounds quite reasonable.

She deserves a statue in my opinion.

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUP JUST POSTED THIS 💎 OF SECRETARY RUBIO BODY SLAMMING A SENATOR IN REAL TIME

Senator: “I regret voting for you for Secretary of State.”

Rubio: “Your regret confirms I’m doing a damn good job.”

Then he went full savage:

• Zero regrets cutting $10M for male circumcisions in Mozambique.

• No more $227K for “Big Cat’s YouTube channel.”

• No more $14M for “social cohesion in Mali” (whatever the hell that is).

America First means America’s money stays home or actually helps Americans, not this globalist grift.

He torched the El Salvador gang member drama: “We deported gang members…
including the one you had a margarita with.”

And on the campus chaos? Rubio made it crystal clear:

Student visas are a privilege, not a right. If you’re here to riot, burn buildings, take over libraries, or disrupt American students paying real tuition, your visa is getting revoked. More coming. Good.

He also dropped a masterclass on separation of powers: No judge tells the Secretary of State or President how to conduct foreign policy or who to talk to.

Diplomacy dies if every conversation gets leaked to courts and the media.

This is the energy we voted for. No more weak State Department. No more funding nonsense overseas while America gets lectured. No more letting foreign agitators turn our campuses into war zones.

Rubio ain’t playing. Trump’s team is delivering.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

A fact-checker walks off the set of a live fact-checking show the moment she can't deliver the verdict she wanted.

The entire format exists to settle disputes between liberals and conservatives with live fact-checks. Watch what happens when the fact-checker doesn't get her way.

HOST: "What is the claim you want fact-checked?"

CONSERVATIVE: "That the president of El Salvador is a dictator."

[The fact-checker interrupts as if to rule it true. The director of the show cuts in.]

FACT-CHECKER: "I'm literally gonna walk off this set."

DIRECTOR: "You can't have editorializing from fact-checkers. You guys have to remain neutral."

[The fact-checker walks off set.]

Then the official verdict landed: false.

HOST: "There is no legal classification of dictator. He [Nayib Bukele] was elected, and El Salvador remains a democracy."

[Flopping Aces @FloppingAces]

The Smithsonian forgot one tiny detail at the entrance to the National Museum of American History: the warning label.

Something like this:

CAUTION: This building is run by people who fucking hate the country on the sign outside. Keep your kids close ... they’re about to get a full dose of anti-American brain rot dressed up as “history.”

Inside you’ll find the Founders buried under grievance bullshit, Thanksgiving repackaged as a national day of mourning, Mickey Mouse accused of blackface, the goddamn ukulele charged with imperialism, and Benjamin Franklin smeared with baseless speculation because these clowns don’t need evidence when they’re targeting dead white men.

And of course there’s chest binders, drag clips, sadomasochistic gear, and jerk-off material on display. Because when families visit America’s flagship history museum, nothing says “American heritage” quite like wondering if you accidentally walked into a radical activist fever dream with a gift shop.

The new White House report spelled it out: the museum ditched historical scholarship for straight-up political activism, “problematized” America’s 250th anniversary, and even scrubbed “American History” from its own mission statement to escape that terrifying “America First” mindset.

They didn’t lose their way. They fucking replaced it on purpose.

The whole point now is to put this country on trial, slap a grievance on every achievement, and make anyone who still loves America feel like a fucking idiot. That’s the mission.

So yeah, post the warning label.

These exhibits were prepared by people who don’t want you to love your country.

At least then the Smithsonian would finally be telling the goddamn truth about what they’ve turned into.

🚨 JUST IN: JD Vance says after Charlie Kirk died, he stayed up all night digging into conspiracy theories about what really killed him

"It's the only time I can remember my wife ever telling me that she was really worried about me."

"I stayed up all night for many nights in a row researching every conspiracy theory, going down every rabbit hole."

"When my lovely wife, Usha, told me to come to bed, I told her I owed it to Charlie to try to uncover every stone, and so that's what I tried to do."

"What saved me was not lying to myself, but accepting the reality of the fight that we're in. Charlie's death was an immense loss and irreplaceable loss."

"We got kicked in the teeth, my friends, and there's no sugarcoating it or pretending that it didn't happen. We need to accept that."

"And what saved me was realizing that the story of the Christian faith, like the story of these United States of America, is one of immense loss followed by even bigger victory." 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Helen Aristotelidis @theHellen_]

Ancient Greek philosophers had a deep understanding of what intelligence is and what it is not. Aristotle made a very clear distinction between 'Technical Skill' (Techne) and 'True Intelligence / Wisdom' (Phronesis) to describe this exact situation. And if he were alive today, he would say exactly this about Nolan: 'They possess a high level of Techne (technical expertise) in their own craft (profession), yet they lack Phronesis (practical wisdom/understanding) and Nous (pure intellect), which are the highest virtues of the soul. Therefore, they do their jobs well, but they cannot grasp the truth.'
