@AmericanDebunk This is very important information. In campaign materials Republicans need to somehow convey this information and not just call Democrats hypocrites.
In a society ruled by pathology, the moral man becomes the criminal.
Totalitarian societies have a structure:
- Psychopaths in positions of authority (~6%)
- Loyalists who serve the tyrants (~12%)
- NPCs who adapt to the new system (~82%)
Very few resist.
🚨#BREAKING: A 14-year-old boy is being praised as a HERO after he used his LASSO to SAVE A DROWNING MAN AND DRAG HIM TO SHORE...
...ON HIS FIRST THROW!!!
His name is Jory Thomas, he's a 14-year-old from Montana.
On July 5, he was camping with his family near Greycliff when a raft and paddleboard slammed into a bridge pillar and threw four people into the river.
Three made it out... but one man did not.
He kept drifting downstream, clinging to a cooler, the current pulling him away fast.
"We all heard, 'Help, help'… and he wasn't saying anything."
Jory didn't wait. He emptied his pockets, ran through a waist-deep channel, and sprinted down the riverbank to catch up to him.
And this year, for the very first time, he'd brought his lariat.
His grandmother Sandy said they've camped at that spot for years and he had NEVER, EVER brought his rope before.
"And that day he did."
Jory took his 12-foot lariat, aimed at a drowning stranger, and threw.
"Luckily, I caught him first try."
FIRST throw!!!
He roped him and hen he pulled that man through chest-deep water all the way to shore and held on until first responders arrived.
His dad and his brothers are on the local fire department. Jory knew waiting wasn't an option.
"God was basically putting me in the place of all this."
His grandma wasn't even surprised.
"His first instinct always is to help other people. He's always been that way."
A 14-year-old spent all year roping a practice dummy in his backyard because he loved it…
…and it made him the reason a man is alive today.
GOD BLESS Jory Thomas and GOD BLESS the family raising a boy like this.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This NBC News Headline About the Anti-ICE Bombing of a Federal Building in NYC Must be Seen to be Believed | Mike LaChance, The Gateway Pundit
If you spend any time on social media, you will see people sometimes say that you don’t hate the media enough. This story is an example of why people say that.
As the Gateway Pundit reported earlier today, an individual deployed an explosive device outside 26 Federal Plaza in New York City. The person was caught and it was immediately apparent that this individual is virulently anti-ICE.
Here’s how NBC News framed the story. This is a headline for the ages:
Fireworks.
This is why no one likes the media. This is why no one trusts the media.
CBS News did something similar. Take a look:
Everyone knows why they do this. It’s to protect leftists.
ABC 7 in California did a much better job and described it as an incendiary device.
And yet the media complains when Trump or others call them an enemy of the people.
This attack was an act of terrorism. If our news media was actually news, that is the way they all would have described it, but they’re not news. They’re left wing propaganda.

Socialists will take your money. They will take your property. They will take your freedom. But they will never create the equal utopia they claim to want.
If you actually read Marx, you will find that the socialists are doing exactly as he said. In socialism, the people who are creating the future paradise are supposed to live in luxury so they can plan for the final step of equality under communism. That is why actual communism has never and will never come about. It will always be kept at socialism, and the working class will never get their paradise.
🚨 Dems Built The SOCIALIST Monster
@VDHanson: "A lot of urban people think this message is cool because it promises them free stuff. But when you have Ro Khanna attacking capitalism while his wife drives a $200,000 Range Rover, Gavin Newsom living in a $9 million house, and socialist influencers driving Porsches, the hypocrisy becomes impossible to ignore." 👉 https://t.co/tGwFn3fIGx
Past a certain level — a few million dollars — money is no longer consumption. It is capital: a claim on the future, to be allocated toward the best possible use. Whoever allocates it most productively serves not themselves but everyone – generating value, progress, and the next platform on which others build.
The economy is fundamentally an allocation problem. Resources are finite. Uses are infinite. The question is never who has how much – it is who directs the next unit of resource most productively. The market answers this through distributed information – millions of simultaneous signals that no central authority can collect, process, or replicate. This is Mises’ calculation problem, stated in 1920: central planning is not merely inefficient, it is mathematically insoluble. The information simply doesn’t exist in any one place.
Profit is not a reward. It is information – proof that resources were directed toward something people value enough to pay for. The larger the profit, the larger the value created. Loss is the same signal in reverse. Bureaucratic deficit is the signal nobody reads: consumption exceeding production, value destroyed, called redistribution.
Whoever generated most profit should naturally be most trusted to allocate most capital. Not a moral claim. A track record argument – the same logic by which you trust the best surgeon with the most complex operation.
This is called capitalism – the system where it happens most naturally. The system in which capital flows toward those who have proven they use it best, rather than toward those who have proven they can win elections.
Two types of actors move through any economy:
The entrepreneur takes personal risk to identify a problem and build a solution. If wrong, he loses. If right, everyone gains – customers, employees, suppliers, the state. He is the cell of progress.
The bureaucrat takes no personal risk. He cannot create. At best he maintains. At worst he destroys through regulation, misallocation, and perverse incentives that discourage those who produce.
No society has ever progressed by taxing its creators to subsidize its administrators. The civilization that forgets this is borrowing against a future its policies are making less likely.
Nuke the filibuster. The Dems have promised to do this as soon as they have a majority, along with a host of other terrible things. Don't do the usual conciliatory things thinking the Dems will return the favor. They won't. Nuke it and start passing legislation.
"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane...
I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.
That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.
When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.
Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."
What I liked about the presidents speech last night was it’s brevity. Instead of trying to convince you, he literally told Americans to go look at the documents for yourselves. The problem is, half of the country will display a high level of cognitive dissonance fueled by their hatred and pride, and refuse to. They became invested in their hatred. It became their identity.
The things I heard last night were disturbing, but they were claims I heard for so long. But some of the things I read, vindicated millions of Americans who simply dared to question something that was clearly concerning in 2020. My God, even 36% of Democrats, thought the 2020 election was rigged. I was one of them back then.
That proved it wasn’t some ultra MAGA talking point. We all saw things that were not normal that night and in the days that followed. Real Americans had real concerns.
If you are looking for apologies from your loved ones who turned you into a monster in their heads, do not hold your breath. If you are going to their pages to see some acknowledgment of at least some foul play in 2020, you won’t.
I am at the point where I don’t care what they feel anymore. When people who should know your character let politics blind them, you have to stop chasing them. The truth is, if they were that easily manipulated to hate you for just asking questions, there was some hidden animus there long before Trump. Trump was just the trigger that released it.
In my opinion; based on what has been revealed, it has never been more urgent that the SAVE ACT be passed. Whatever issue any senator has with the president should be set aside to secure the most important aspect of what it is to be an American.
That should not be a debate, whether you are a Democrat or republican. Whether you are MAGA or a MAGA hater, wanting to strengthen election integrity, should not be a point of contention.
5 Thomas Sowell Lessons the West Refuses to Learn
1. Poverty is not evidence of injustice
2. There are no solutions, there are only trade-offs
3. Decision makers must face consequences
4. It's not greed to keep what you earn
5. Don't replace what works with what sounds good
A 92-year-old North Carolina man got so bored 2 months into retirement that he applied to work at Chick-fil-A...
...his smile, kindness, and passion for Jesus became so contagious that when he got sick and missed 3 days of work, an ENTIRE TOWN began asking where he was.
His name is Gilbert Martin.
Everybody calls him "Mr. Gil."
Mr. Gil is 92 years old, and works at the Chick-fil-A on Oleander Drive in Wilmington, NC.
He spent decades working in the natural gas industry and when he retired, he greeted people at Sam's Club for 12 MORE years, until they eliminated his position.
Most people would call that a sign to finally rest, but not Mr. Gil!
Two months into retirement, he got bored... so he walked into Chick-fil-A and put in an application.
He was 86 years old at the time.
He's been there ever since.
Not one or two shifts a week either. Monday through Friday.
He says the full schedule gives him more chances to be there for people who need him.
His official job is dining host.
Clean tables.
Clean floors.
But Mr Gil doesn't see it that way... as he describes it, his real job is:
"I get a lot of people that are coming in, just been to the doctor, and got bad news... I'm able to be an encourager; the Lord gave me that."
A 92-year-old man who could be resting at home... chooses to stand in a dining room five days a week... so strangers on the worst day of their lives don't have to be alone.
And Wilmington noticed.
When Mr. Gil caught a cold and missed a couple of days, the owner said he was FLOODED with HUNDREDS of customers who were panicked about him.
Mr. Gil has zero plans to retire.
He says if you ever see him working, come say hi.
"I don't know what 92 is supposed to feel like, but I feel great. Serving others has always brought me joy because I believe that a smile and a kind word can make someone's day a little brighter.”
We need more of this in the world!!!!
Your risotto is made of methane.
Rice is grown by flooding a field, and the flooding is not incidental, it is the entire method. Standing water keeps oxygen out of the soil. With no oxygen, a particular set of microbes takes over the mud and starts breaking down organic matter without it, and the waste product of that process is methane, which bubbles up through the water and out through the plant's own stem.
Those microbes are archaea. They are the same organisms, doing the same chemistry, as the ones in the cow's rumen.
There is no difference in the gas. There is no difference in the mechanism. A paddy field is a rumen with the lid off, and it works because a farmer deliberately drowned the ground to make it happen.
Rice is somewhere around 8 to 12 per cent of all human methane emissions, depending on whose inventory you read. It is the third biggest agricultural source after cattle, and it is bigger than the entire global sheep and goat population put together.
Nobody has ever been asked to give up rice on a Monday. There is no Rice Free January. No documentary. No supermarket pledge. No fourteen-year-old at the dinner table explaining to her grandfather that his paella is killing the planet.
Because rice is a plant, and plants have been granted permanent moral clearance, and the archaea did not get the memo.
I grew up in the early 60s in a small house with my parents and 3 siblings. We had 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. No central air. In south Florida. We had one car for the earlier part of my life. Both my parents worked, so I guess one of them took the bus, but I don't remember. We took our clothes to the laundromat for washing, brought them home wet, and hung them on our clothes line to dry. But I never felt like we were poor and I don't remember anyone complaining about how hard life was. We just got on with it.
Nostalgic memes spread misleading messages, like:
“Once, families could own a home & send their kids to college on one income.”
But the homes were smaller.
Most kids didn’t go to college.
The memes ignore facts.
We give them to you:
More of this in the world, please. Reaches across, race, age, socioeconomic concerns, etc. Do yourself a favor and take 3 minutes to change your day and restore your faith in the world and humanity.
🚨WOW!!!
A 79-year-old retired nurse was told she could go to JAIL because arthritis left her unable to mow her lawn...
...so STRANGERS showed up at her door the very next morning, a lawyer took her case for FREE, and an army of volunteers landscaped her ENTIRE yard. ❤️
Her name is Beverly Thomas.
She spent 33 YEARS as a nurse in Willoughby, Ohio, caring for other people's mothers, fathers, and children.
Now she's 79 and she has arthritis and tremors. She uses a walker just to answer her front door.
The city summoned her to court on MISDEMEANOR charges for "failure to maintain her property."
She's on a fixed income. She couldn't afford a landscaper. She couldn't afford a lawyer.
She called social services for help and got nothing.
Then she stood in a courtroom and heard a judge say she could be put in jail over her yard.
"I just don't want to be in jail."
A 79-year-old nurse said that in America... over GRASS!!!
Then a news network told her story... and Northeast Ohio ANSWERED.
The very next morning, Beverly heard a knock at her door.
Two total strangers were standing there.
They'd never met each other.
They showed up at the exact same time.
One was Norburt Sanek, a lawn care professional who has lived in her town for 20 years and the other was an attorney.
Both offered their services... for FREE.
Norburt said he was raised in a big Catholic family and this is simply what you do: you help your neighbors, especially the elderly.
Then DOZENS more people reached out.
A man named David Courtwright took time off work and drove in from the next county over just to haul junk.
A special education teacher named Melanie Parker showed up with her sleeves rolled up, saying if it were her, she'd want someone to come too.
They weeded. They hauled garbage. They landscaped her ENTIRE front and back yard.
A GoFundMe covered what couldn't be donated.
The city has said publicly that if the property is brought into compliance, the charges get dismissed.
And Beverly? She said, "God answered my prayers."
GOD BLESS Beverly Thomas, and GOD BLESS every single neighbor who showed up at that door.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
