This speech from Zohran Mamdani on America’s 250th changed my politics.

I’ve never seen a more pompous individual whose life has been void of any sacrifice or hard work confidently lecture as if people like him hold the key to human prosperity.

Here’s a guy who had never held a job until he found the angle to satisfy his thirst for attention through politics at age 30, sit behind George Washington’s desk and give us a lecture on what is supposed to be a day of celebration.

Instead of celebrating what this country built, prosperity and human rights that spread across the globe from basically nothing, he turns the moment into a lecture about how America is this flawed project desperately in need of topdown change from useless academics and politicians who’ve never built anything of value for anybody.

As I get older, I have started wrestling with my own ridiculous and undeserved comforts, and the massive sacrifices of generations that made them possible. We should be expressing sheer gratitude for the families who crossed this country in covered wagons chasing a future, for the young men who died in muddy fields and frozen trenches defending it. At some point we let the children forget about this, and it's going to be a tragedy.

Our ancestors didn’t sacrifice so we could sit around demanding more redistribution while building nothing of value ourselves and living in opulence kings couldn't have dreamed of. They built something exceptional through risk, and relentless work.

Watching someone like Mamdani use the 250th as an opportunity to lecture us about what’s wrong with America, it just flips a switch for me. I’m done with the ingratitude.

We need to defend America from those that leech off it's greatness and attempt to redefine it.

[Sovey @SoveyX]

Listen to North Korean defector Yeonmi Park explain how her grandparents were promised much of what Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America are promising today:
- Free healthcare
- Free housing
- Free education
- A government that will take care of everyone

In return, they surrendered their freedom.

Tyranny rarely arrives looking cruel. It arrives smiling, speaking softly and promising compassion.

Liberals, I beg of you, don’t listen to conservatives if you don’t want to.

Listen to the North Korean defector.

It will not be different this time.

This is how it begins.

Jonathan thinks you’re wrong. He said it himself.

He tells your grandma that he’s protecting Medicare for her, welfare for her but he’s actually protecting it for illegal aliens so they can go to the hospital and get their medications.

These are his words not mine.

Aren’t you tired of being used for your vote so your politician can fight for everyone else BUT YOU?

Vote MAXWELL if you actually want a congressional representative that won’t forget who voted them in. I will work for YOU!

I’m asking for your vote on November 3, 2026 Congressional District 1.

A college economics professor stated that he had once failed an entire class. That class insisted that socialism is functional and that no one should be poor and no one rich, that everyone is equal...

The teacher told them, "OK, we will do an experiment on socialism in this group.

All grades will be averaged, and everyone will get the same grade, so no one will fail and no one will get a 10."

After the first test, the grades were added up and divided by the number of students, and everyone got an 8.

The students who studied intensively were upset, but those who studied less were overjoyed.

As the second test approached, the students who had studied a little learned even less, and those who had studied more intensively told themselves that they also wanted a "handout", so they also studied less.

The average of the second test was 6.

When the third test was given, the average score was 4. To the great surprise of all the students, they all failed.

The teacher told them that socialism will eventually fail because when half the population sees that they cannot work, because the other half will take care of them, and when the half that worked realizes that there is no point in working anymore, because others are the beneficiaries of their labor, then that is the end of any nation
The story may be a fable not a fact but the moral is real
Get it?

They went to a concert.
They never came home.

Eighteen and nineteen.

Interstate 90, Wisconsin.

Driving home.
He in the passenger seat.
She behind the wheel.

A massive SUV came at them the wrong way.

Head-on.

She died at the scene.
He was airlifted.
He fought for five days.
Then he died too.

Now here is the part that should make your hands shake.

The driver was in this country illegally.
Convicted of drunk driving in 2020.
A court ordered an ignition interlock —
a device that stops the car if you have been drinking.

She never installed it.
She drove anyway.
She drove the wrong way.
She drove drunk.

Read that again.

Convicted.
Ordered.
Ignored.
Released.
Killed.

Federal immigration asked the local jail to hold her if she posted bond.
The county refused.
Sanctuary policy.

Two teenagers who did everything right.
Two futures erased on one highway.

They should be arguing about the encore.
They should be starting college this fall.

A court order is not a suggestion.
A border is not a suggestion.
A life is not a suggestion.

Footage of Taylor Swift in her massive mansion tonight enjoying the fireworks with Travis Kelce 👀

This comes after she shut down half a city for a huge wedding that included many disposable props and required the air conditioning of an entire stadium.

In a 2020 Miss Americana documentary, Taylor Swift described climate change as one of the “horrific situations” facing young people. She calls on you to make sacrifices and vote for candidates who restrict your usage.

Meanwhile, her personal carbon footprint over just the last 48 hours is more than the average person uses in 3 entire lifetimes. Read that again.

[Bannon’s WarRoom @Bannons_WarRoom]

JACK POSOBIEC: The Mamdani speech was the most anti-American thing I’ve ever seen in my life but at the same time it was pure, unadulterated Communism - cultural Marxism, where he said the rich have their money and we will take it and give it to the newcomers — he’s sitting there behind George Washington’s desk saying what is yours is mine. That was a throwdown.

President Trump responded saying ‘America stands for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Communism stands for death, tyranny, and the pursuit of evil.

You can be a Communist or you can be a Patriot. You cannot be both. @JackPosobiec

Help me out here, Kathy. You’re saying the electric grid can’t handle ACs in the summer, but you also want everyone to replace their gasoline cars with electric vehicles. How does that work?

[DeVory Darkins @devorydarkins]

The disgusting behavior of the Congressional Democrats was on full display during a hearing in which parents testified about their children who were murdered due to sanctuary policies. What did Rep. Pramila Jayapal complain about? Another "useless" hearing. Can you imagine sitting 10 feet away from a mother whose daughter was murdered and disrespecting her over politics? It is sickening how low these Democrats will go, disregarding crying mothers to their faces.

[Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich]

Mayor Mandami has shown us the reality of big government socialism’s inability to solve problems. Telling New Yorkers to set their air conditioning at 78 degrees is an open admission of the failure of the left to provide enough inexpensive electricity that people can be comfortable even in hot weather. Does anyone believe Madison Square Garden will be at 78 degrees for the Taylor Swift -Travis Kelce Wedding. Big government socialism always takes care of the well connected while causing pain and deprivation for normal everyday people. Mandami is no different. Reporter should ask him if he is going to ask Taylor Swift to sweat through her wedding at the Mandami dictated 78 degrees. That would lead to the wedding moving to a red state where they have adequate electricity for air conditioning.
