The last time I was with Charlie, I didn’t want the afternoon to end.

But it did end.

I was thrilled listening to Charlie as he Moderated a discussion. He was exceedingly fair and gave each arguing participant equal time and respected their positions.

But this time listening to Charlie felt different. I had come to recognize a true genius on a par with our Founding Fathers: A modern day Alexander Hamilton or James Madison.
His breadth of knowledge on our Constitution, our Founding documents and especially on biblical texts was like watching a Chess champion dismantling an inferior opponent, easily accessing verifiable facts from that incredible brain of his was breathtaking to watch.

That he was taken from us, is a great loss that is insurmountable.
Charlie Kirk would have been our President one day. And ALL Americans would have benefited from his leadership.

Charlie asked that each of us just be one percent more courageous. One percent a year. He put it this way: “The cool thing about courage is that it actually doesn’t require any talent. It is just a choice.”

He wanted to be remembered for courage for his faith, and that courage is doing something without knowing the consequences.

As we approach the one year anniversary of his assassination at the hands of violent Leftist who was indoctrinated with Leftist lies and hate, let us find that one percent more courage in ourselves and re-engage in our shared country: vote, participate, volunteer, show up at your local school board meeting, have difficult conversations and remember that a great person, a Christian, died trying to have a conversation with young fellow Americans who he cared for dearly and wanted them to know and appreciate that they lived in the greatest experiment in Freedom the world has ever known: a nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for ALL!

God bless you,
Rob

Socialist influencer Hasan Piker defends his $2.7 million+ dollar home in West Hollywood

Interviewer “At what point does your very expensive home stop being a basic human necessity and something that essentially reinforces the very system that you're critiquing?”

Hasan Piker says that having an extremely expensive home is fine as long as you aren’t engaging in “capital accumulation”

Hasan Piker is estimated to have a net worth of $35 million dollars. He makes an estimated $4 million per year on our capitalist system but pushes socialism for everyone else

He is the one hoarding wealth and buying multi million dollar homes

Yet he refuses to give his money away like a socialist

This is a guy who was making $200,000 per month during his peak just on subscriptions alone

Hey @BernieSanders It's translated now.

[Handre @Handre]

Ludwig von Mises sat down in 1920 and published a paper that ended the intellectual case for socialism, even if the socialists took another seven decades to notice.

The argument was precise. Mises showed that without private ownership of the means of production, there are no real prices for capital goods. Without prices, you cannot calculate profit and loss. Without profit and loss, economic planners have no way of knowing whether they are creating value or destroying it. They are flying blind, spending real resources with no feedback mechanism telling them whether the factory, the railway, or the grain depot was worth building. Every allocation becomes a guess dressed up as a decree.

This, he called the Socialist Calculation Problem, and nobody answered it. Oskar Lange tried in 1936, proposing that socialist planners could simulate prices by trial and error. Mises read this and was unimpressed (charitably put). Lange assumed you could reproduce the function of market prices without the institution that generates them: private property, genuine exchange, real skin in the game. You cannot fake the signal and expect accurate information.

The Soviet Union spent seventy years proving Mises right. Chronic shortages, misallocated steel, surplus winter boots in Georgia in July, famine engineered by committees convinced they understood grain supply better than the price system. The USSR collapsed in 1991 under the weight of precisely the inefficiencies Mises predicted in Vienna in 1920.

You are watching this play out again today, every time a government sets energy prices, rent ceilings, or pharmaceutical price caps, and then expresses shock at the resulting shortages. The calculation problem did not expire with the Soviet Union. Bureaucrats who override price signals recreate the same blindness Mises identified. Mises told you exactly what would happen.

[Dangerous Thoughts @DangerousThinkg]

The hypocrisy of leftists, particularly those who have become judges, knows no bounds

Logic and reason will always be twisted into a pretzel in order to support their message, their greater 'good' as they see it.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

If you have a son or daughter who's starting to think that socialism is the answer to our problems, I want you to try something and report back:

Next time you talk, don't argue. Sit down, ask these questions, and just listen:

- When you say "socialism," do you mean that you want the government to pay for a bigger safety net like in Denmark, or that the government owns the means of production? Because those are two very different countries.

- You say the system is rigged. Who rigged it? And who should be handed the power to un-rig it?

- Who sets the price of bread? If not a single person or corporation, what causes that price to remain steady or go up?

- Can you name a country where the state took ownership of the means of production and the poor got richer?

- When borders open or the walls fall down, anywhere in the world, which direction do people run? Towards the free market system or the socialist system? And before the boundaries fell, which way were the guns pointed?

- Would you rather be poor today, or rich in 1900? By the way, only one of those has antibiotics.

- If you and I make a voluntary trade, and we both walk away happy, who got hurt?

- Someone has to decide what your work is worth. Would you rather it be you and the person paying you, or a bureaucrat with an army who has never met either of you?

Try having this conversation with your kids this week. Don't argue. Only listen. And if you want, call into my radio show and tell me how it went.

This might just be the greatest community notes of all time!

[Dr Jordan B Peterson @jordanbpeterson]

How does a country make itself safe and productive?

Great Britain did it with Christianity—and by executing or imprisoning the worst males in every generation for hundreds of years.

By the 1960s, the country was so civilized that policeman carried nothing but a nightstick, everybody queued without a second thought, and newspaper boxes were left unlocked on the high street.

Britain had become a so-called high trust society — less euphemistically, an honest society.

Something similar—without the Christianity—transpired in Japan.

What happens to such a country if it forgets how difficult that was to attain?

The Brits found out. And then denied it.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Jordan Peterson made a really important point:

The horrors of the Soviet Union didn’t just come from bad government. They happened because ordinary people were willing to lie, about almost everything.

He says the real cause wasn’t political. It was moral. Each person’s relationship to truth, their conscience, and their own soul.

We’re so quick to blame systems and leaders, but this hits deeper. The breakdown starts with individuals choosing comfort over honesty.

Once enough people accept small lies (even in the name of compassion), it opens the door to much darker places.

“We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, and still they continue to lie.” — Alexander Solzhenitsyn

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Jordan Peterson went straight to the point:

“I’m not a fan of collectivists. I don’t care if they’re on the left or the right. The right level of analysis is the individual, and that’s what the West got right.”

He called out Marxists, group-first identity politics, and professors turning impressionable 18-year-olds into activists before they’re properly educated.

Building a society that truly respects the individual is one of the hardest things humans have ever tried. It requires constant vigilance. Collectivism always comes back wearing new clothes, as justice, community, equity, or compassion.

“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.” - Ayn Rand

[🇺🇸Lady Vet @CoVet_81]

Charlie Kirk absolutely nailed it. 🎯

“I didn’t own slaves… and you weren’t a slave.”

Reparations are not justice. They punish people today for things they did not do, while rewarding others for things that did not happen to them.

This is not healing. It is division. It is racism dressed up as “equity.”

We move forward by treating every American as an individual, not by keeping score on skin color or rewriting history. 🇺🇸
