With all due respect. We don't have an oligarch in this country. Please refrain from using incendiary language to continue to divide people.

Merriam Webster defines oligarch as:
"one of a class of individuals who through private acquisition of state assets amassed great wealth that is stored especially in foreign accounts and properties and who typically maintain close links to the highest government circles."

Clearly the word is misused!

@WalshFreedom @Kasparov63 @WalshFreedom You are obviously lacking critical thinking skills. Your observation skills could use a refresher course. With some perseverance and dedication I am sure both can improve.

Good luck!

Reminder of what Khrushchev said 60 years ago...."Your children's children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright; but, we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you. We will so weaken your economy, until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands. The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not" It was September 29, 1959, when Nikita Khrushchev delivered his prediction for America at the United Nations. Remember the television coverage of him banging his shoe on the podium? At that time, just the word "communism" was feared throughout our nation. Remember this. Socialism leads to Communism How do you create a Socialist State? There are eight levels of control:
1) Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people
2) Poverty - Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them.
3) Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the government . That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare - Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government.
6) Education - Take control of what people read, listen to and take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion - Remove the belief in God from the government and schools because the people need to believe in ONLY the government knowing what is best for the people.
8)Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to tax the rich with the support of the poor.

WE ARE THERE!

@cspan @NYCMayor you sir are an embarrassment. The polar opposite of everything this country was founded on and stands for.

You are a parasite living off the blood, sweat and tears of generations of hardworking American patriots.

Hang your head in shame!

Mamdani got the whole American dream in eight years. Came here as a kid, got citizenship in 2018, now he runs the biggest city in the country.

And on America's 250th birthday he sat down at George Washington's desk and told us everything wrong with the place.

I'm not even angry. I'm disappointed.

Here's the picture he painted:

He mocked the people who supposedly think America "becomes less the more people it welcomes."

Said it belongs "only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin."

Called our streets a place where "masked agents" are "terrorizing" people.

Said the country's wealth was built by "calloused, dirt-streaked hands" and then left to rot.

Looked out from Washington's desk and called the Americans who built this economy "small" and "weak."

Okay Mamdani. You hate it so much, why'd you come here?

Let's put that picture up against the actual country.

He's a Muslim kid born in Uganda and he's the mayor of New York. A guy back in his own birthplace said it plainly: over there he'd have had to claw his way in. Here we held the door open.

We've got the most diverse Congress in our history. It was never about skin color, no matter how many years the left spent forcing that story onto a country that kept proving them wrong.

A machine that grinds immigrants down? Nearly half the Fortune 500 was started by immigrants or their kids. 231 companies.

Apple, son of a Syrian.

Google, a kid who came over from the Soviet Union.

Amazon, son of a Cuban.

Put them together and they out-earn Japan, out-earn Germany. That's not a country grinding people into the dirt. That's a country handing them the keys.

It's been and always will be the land of opportunity.

And more people want in here than anywhere else alive. 53 million immigrants live here, the most of any nation on earth. We're 4% of the world's people and we hold 17% of the world's migrants.

Every year since 2007 you ask the whole planet where it'd go if it could go anywhere, the answer comes back the same. America. Number one. The line to get in wraps around the globe.

Here's the line he won't draw. I will.

Legal immigration built this country. The strivers. That's the front door working the way it's supposed to, and I'll defend it all day. You need to earn your spot, respect our laws and customs.

But that's not what we're running anymore.

Four years of Biden's open border blew the doors off. The foreign-born share of this country just hit 15.8%. An all-time high. Higher than Ellis Island, more than triple what it was in 1970.

The Census Bureau didn't expect that number until 2042 and we smashed past it. And on top of it, a record 14 million people here illegally, who cut in front of every single person who did it the right way.

The front door built America from Ellis Island to today. The fence is a different thing. Pretending they're the same is how you end up calling every American who wants a secure border a bigot.

And we've earned the right to standards. This is the most wanted country on the planet. We get to choose who walks in. You want in? Build something. Contribute. Earn it. Nobody's owed anything.

You come illegally, you commit crimes, you steal from taxpayers, you should get deported. That's not terrorizing the streets.

Mamdani walked through that front door in 2018. He of all people should be defending it. Instead he stood at Washington's desk and spent his speech blurring the line between the people who came the right way and the ones who broke in.

The man even admitted out loud that America is exceptional. Then spent the rest explaining why it isn't. On the one day the whole country stops to celebrate itself, he reached for the darkest story he could find.

That's not a man who's lost about America. That's a man who's angry at the country that gave him everything he has.

You don't like it here? Nobody made you come.

Nobody's stopping you from leaving. But you won't. They never do. Because there's nowhere else on earth that hands a person this much of a shot.

This country took him in and made him a mayor. He owes it. It doesn't owe him a thing.

We're not perfect. We're the best odds a human being has ever been handed. 250 years old, the richest and freest country alive, and the whole world is still clawing to get in while nobody's trying to leave.

They hold America to a standard they'd never hold anyone else to, then act shocked it falls short.

It's nonsense.

Respect the country. Especially when it's the reason you're standing at that desk at all.

@McFaul Definition of socialism

[ChuckBd @ChuckBd_]

@McFaul Guess who didn't do their homework.

According to Merriam Webster:
Any of various egalitarian economic and political theories or movements advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.

76 yaşında Richard Gere'in söylediği, yalnızca yaşlanmaktan korkanların değil, herkesin duyması gereken sözler…

Yaşlılık sadece kırışıklık değildir.

Sadece beyaz saç da değildir.

Kimlikte yazan bir sayı hiç değildir.

Asıl yaşlılık, hayatın peşinden durmadan koşmak yerine onu yaşamayı öğrendiğiniz andır.

Evet, beden değişir.

Yüz, gençlikteki gibi kalmaz.

Hareketler yavaşlar.

Ayna ise gerçeği her zamankinden daha açık gösterir.

Ama zamanın elinden alamadığı bir şey vardır:

Kalp.

Çünkü kalp, beden gibi yaşlanmaz.

İlk sevgiyi, ilk hayali, ilk acıyı, ilk kaybı ve dünyayı kucaklamak istediğiniz o ilk sevinci hep hatırlar.

Ruhun yaşı yoktur.

Yıllar geçtikçe belki de en önemli gerçeği anlarız:

Her yaş, yaşanması gereken doğru yaştır.

• 20'li yaşlar cesaret verir.
• 30'lu yaşlar inşa etme gücü kazandırır.
• 40'lı yaşlar insanı kendisiyle dürüst olmaya götürür.
• 50'li yaşlar derinlik kazandırır.
• 60'lı yaşlar bilgelik getirir.
• 70'li yaşlar ise artık kimseye bir şey ispat etme ihtiyacı duymayan huzuru sunar.

Her yaşın kendine özgü bir armağanı vardır.

Yaş almak bir yenilgi değil, bir ayrıcalıktır.

Çünkü herkes saçlarının beyazladığını göremez.

Herkes çocuklarının büyüdüğüne tanıklık edemez.

Herkes yeni bir baharı karşılayamaz.

Herkes sabah uyanıp, "Ben hâlâ buradayım." diyemez.

Çoğu zaman zamana karşı savaşırız.

Kırışıklıkları gizleriz.

Yaşımızdan utanırız.

Eski fotoğraflarla kendimizi kıyaslarız.

Oysa gerçek zafer, dışarıdan genç görünmek değil; içten yaşlanmamaktır.

Merakını koruyabilmek…

Nezaketini kaybetmemek…

Hayata hâlâ şaşırabilmek…

İçtenlikle gülebilmek…

Korkmadan sevebilmek…

Küçük şeylere şükredebilmek…

Sessiz günlerde bile güzelliği görebilmek…

Çünkü genç görünmenin değil, son güne kadar canlı bir ruha sahip olmanın sırrı önemlidir.

O zaman geçen her yıl bir kayıp olmaktan çıkar, bir armağana dönüşür.

Yaş almaktan korkmayın. Asıl korkulması gereken, hayatı gerçekten yaşamadan ömrü tüketmektir. Çünkü yaşlanmak solup gitmek değil, bazen insanın içten içe parlamaya başlamasıdır. 🌿✨
