Bizarrely, socialism is still popular among young people. They should listen to those who lived it!

“You don't really know you have it good until you have it bad,” says @charlesNKorea.

He escaped North Korea, twice.

He tells me his story and the importance of freedom:

For years, Europe’s economy was about the size of America’s. Not today.

Today, the U.S. is 50% RICHER--despite the EU having 100 million MORE people.

What changed?

Seattle passed a $26/hour min wage to help gig workers. It made things WORSE.

Driver pay didn’t rise, but customers pay more, and restaurants get fewer orders.

“The actual effect … sabotage one of the most successful businesses in the city," says @judgeglock of @ManhattanInst.

I assumed belief in socialism would die with the Soviet Union.

But it didn't…now New York City and Seattle have elected socialist mayors.

I wish more people listened to economists Friedrich Hayek & Ludwig von Mises.

Years ago, they explained why central planning doesn’t work:

Let’s be honest — the Super Bowl halftime show stopped being about ⁣𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘀⁣ a long time ago.
⁣⁣⁣
Now it’s about checking boxes, chasing TikTok streams, and pretending the people who actually watch the game don’t exist.

This is football’s biggest night.

Even ⁣𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗿⁣ jumped in with a rare moment of agreement.

🚨 BREAKING: The official X account of the Democrat Party has DELETED their post claiming President Trump spent Thanksgiving with Jeffrey Epstein in 2017

He was literally the President, dumbasses. You don’t think someone would’ve noticed?!

Trump should BANKRUPT the DNC for this

Does anyone remember Justice Kagan being against nationwide injunctions when we had a DEMOCRAT President?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

[Robby Starbuck @robbystarbuck]

6 straight minutes of @CNN admitting that right now, President Trump is winning and Democrats are in big, big trouble. A segment like this would have been totally unthinkable in 2016-2020.

The exact moment the LA riots ended.

The moment the FBI and IRS announced they are investigating whoever is funding the riots.

The riots stop. Just like that.

Weird how that works!?

Spencer Wimmer, a devout Christian, was reportedly fired from his job at @Generac after the company discovered his faith and learned that he refuses to use someone's preferred pronouns.

This directly violates the Civil Rights Act

Germany's leader just admitted that their exit from nuclear power was a mistake.

In the past week, Belgium repealed its nuclear ban, and Denmark signaled it may do the same.

Here's why that's a good idea:

The world is getting better!

But when I listen to activists, everything sounds dismal!

Why? Because: “For activists, success is a threat,” explains @JohnTierneyNYC. “It's going to put you out of business unless you find a new cause.”

HOLY SHLIT: DOGE found that MILLIONS of illegals were given Social Security numbers over the last 4 years, with 1.3 million receiving Medicaid.

Millions of others received driver's licences, registered to vote, and may have already voted. INSANE

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent obliterates NBC's Kristen Welker on tariffs with numbers:

"Kristen, what I like is data...A 20% tariff on China led to a 0.7% price level increase over 4 years. I think that's pretty good...The little-publicized story this week: everyone wants to look at the stock market going down; you know what else went down? Oil prices went down almost 15% in 2 days, which impacts working Americans much more than the stock market does. Interests rates hit their low for the year, so I'm expecting the mortgage applications to pick up."

[MAHA PAC🗽 @MAHA_PAC]

🚨Watch Jay Carson, former advisor to Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton, break down how ‘The Playbook’ is used to destroy opponents of corporate power.

“Big corporations hire people like me to come inside and implement The Playbook.”

“First, they attack you broadly and they question your facts. They say you’re lying, and it’s ferocious.

But if you keep on moving after that, they move on to character assassination. They take on who you are as a person. They dig up everything bad in your past and leak it to the press.

If you had a fender bender, you’re a reckless driver. If you paid a bill late, you’re a deadbeat. And so on and so on. Every part of your life goes under their microscope.

They try to embarrass you. They try to make you say, ‘this fight isn’t worth what it’s costing me,’ and you quit.

But if that doesn’t stop you—and it stops most people, but it didn’t stop Bobby—they say you’re a liar.

If liar doesn’t work, they say you’re an anti-Semite and a racist. Crazy or kook or crank or nut job are their mainstays, that’s their nuclear option.

If they can get everyone to dismiss you as a wacko nut job, everything you say is suspect.

Standing up to them exacts a real cost, and that’s why they do it.”
