[Homēros @HomerosHayyam41]

They destroyed all the buildings except the building used as the "Museum of Science and Industry" at the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition.

They say the buildings were temporary structures made of plaster and paper.

Do you believe it?

An AI-enabled time-lapse tour of the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition, a 690-acre site featuring 200 neoclassical buildings, attended by 27 million people from 46 countries.

Do you believe they are made of paper and plaster?

Hey Ro - on the whole oligarchs thing - can you explain to the American people how you made an obscene amount of money — hundreds of millions- through thousands of stock trades since becoming a congressman?

[Flopping Aces @FloppingAces]

Ro Khanna really thought he had the perfect little Resistance TED Talk queued up.

Step 1: Point at Elon Musk.
Step 2: Say “dead children.”
Step 3: Demand “accountability.”
Step 4: Wait for applause from the taxpayer-funded incense circle.
Tiny problem.
The second Ro said “accountability,” the spotlight spun around like it had a search warrant.
Because who is this sermon coming from, exactly?

A luxury progressive sitting on a fortune, lecturing America about billionaires from inside the velvet-rope section of the revolution. A guy who wants Elon’s money taxed to pay for universal childcare, yet somehow never gets around to writing the check himself. Funny how socialism always arrives wearing cufflinks and asking for someone else’s wallet.

Then DOGE looked at USAID and the priesthood lost its mind.

Apparently verifying where foreign-aid money goes is now child murder. Auditing the pipeline is genocide. Asking whether the cash reached real recipients instead of consultants, NGOs, influencers, DEI circuses, and ideological slush buckets is basically pushing orphans into volcanoes.

Sure, Ro.

USAID wasn’t a sacred humanitarian altar. It was a machine. And when Musk helped kick the panel off the wall, the wiring looked a lot less like charity and a lot more like patronage with a halo.

That’s why Khanna’s attack face-planted.

He tried to put Musk on trial.

Instead, he accidentally opened discovery on himself, his fortune, his stock-trading cloud, and the whole foreign-aid cathedral he was defending.

Ro asked for accountability.

Great.

Start with the guy preaching from the luxury box.

Senator Bernie Moreno Says NY Socialists Should NOT Be SEATED in Congress, Demands BAN on Dual Citizens: 'They Cannot Uphold Their Oath...'

"Every elected official since 1789 had to put their hand on the Bible, lift their right hand and swear allegience to the United States of America and to uphold our Constitution... Unless that person is willing to do that, then they are unable to receive that oath of office and should not be seated."

We cannot have members of Congress who chant "Death to America", call for the "Total eradication of Western Civilization" and who use our nation's flag as a napkin.

These people are incompatible with our country and cannot represent us.

[RedWave Press @RedWavePress]

NAILED IT: Jesse Watters: “It’s not socialism, guys. It’s communism. You can’t reason with these guys. You have to crush them… These people want to hurt us… These people don’t believe in borders, capitalism, or our founding fathers. They’re here to steal, punish us, and then throw around welfare. This is a third world takeover.”

“This is what happens when you import the third world. Did you know that New York City is 70% nonwhite? 40% foreign born, 50% of the apartments , they don’t even speak English—not even their first language. These three women that Mamdani endorsed weren't born in New York City… They're carpetbaggers!”

All of the Antifa militants in this case were handed sentences of many decades. The sentences are extreme, draconian, and merciless. And I think that is just absolutely awesome. More of this please. I love it.

NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson says the World Cup is creating an ironic split screen across America, as fans from around the world appreciate the U.S. "so more than these socialists running for Congress."

While radical left Democrats spend their time criticizing the country, visitors from around the world are flooding social media with videos of themselves falling in love with it — from Buc-ee’s and Waffle House to free chips and salsa in Texas.

"They've never known freedom. They've never known these kinds of things, and they're seeing them for themselves. The genius of America's system, a system that rewards risk takers and entrepreneurs and job creators and innovators and people who create jobs for others and expand the economy and opportunity and broaden the pathway out of poverty for more people."

"That's what we promise to the voters, and that's what we are delivering."

Echoes, great depiction of the cause of the Great Depression! Nothing like helping out poor people by forcibly keeping prices high.

Your view, of course, is not what has been taught in academia for most of my life. When I was at Harvard Business School in our political economy class, the assigned readings on the Great Depression were by Harvard's John Kenneth Galbraith and a socialist, claiming that the Great Depression was caused by the failure of capitalism.

I knew that had to be wrong, went to the Harvard library, and checked out America's Great Depression by Murray Rothbard. It was a breathe of fresh air and truth. I think it essential reading.

I liked it so much, I invited Murray Rothbard to come speak the next year on the night the first year students were being forced to read claptrap. Good times!

Another excellent read on the Great Depression is The Forgotten Man by @AmityShlaes .

FDR is the most overrated president in American history and it is not close.

People treat him like a saint. The reality is he inherited a recession and turned it into the longest depression in the history of the developed world. Every other major economy on earth recovered faster than the United States did under FDR. Sit with that. We had the most resources, the most industry, the most capacity, and we recovered slower than countries that got bombed.

Unemployment was still 19% in 1938. Six years into the New Deal. Six years of "bold experimentation" and one in five Americans still could not find work.

Why? Because his policies were economically illiterate. The NIRA cartelized entire industries and made it illegal to lower prices during a deflationary collapse. He paid farmers to slaughter livestock and plow under crops while people stood in bread lines. He launched a war on business so aggressive that investment dried up because nobody knew what insane rule was coming next. Even his own Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, admitted in 1939 that they had spent enormous sums and "it does not work" and that unemployment was as high as when they started.

Then in 1937 his policies triggered a second brutal crash so embarrassing the textbooks gave it its own polite little nickname, the "Roosevelt Recession," so they would not have to attach his name to the failure in the obvious way.

A UCLA study in 2004 concluded the New Deal prolonged the Great Depression by roughly seven years. Seven years of extra suffering sold to you as heroism.

So what actually saved the economy? Not the alphabet agencies. Not the fireside chats. A world war. Twelve million men shipped overseas and the entire planet's industrial competition reduced to rubble. That is the "recovery." That is the legacy.

Strip away Pearl Harbor and FDR is a guy who took a bad recession and stretched it into a decade of misery with bad economics and a cult of personality. He is not ranked on results. He is ranked on the luck of being in the chair when Hitler invaded Poland.

Greatest marketing job in the history of the presidency. Nothing more.
