In Indiana we've been trying to warn everyone of this for years, but few listen...

Romney’s loss was probably more significant than you’d think. Not because Romney was special, no one liked him, but he was a completely milquetoast candidate and he still had the dirtiest accusations hurled at him of sexism, Nazism etc

Voters finally noticed

Peter Jackson says a delivery driver once told him his ‘HOBBIT’ trilogy was crap.

“He just looks at me [at the door ] and says, ‘Hey there, you’re that fella that made Lord of the Rings aren’t you? Lord of the Rings that was great man, that was a fantastic film’. I said ‘Yeah, oh thanks.’

He turns back to the van and says: ‘Oh they should have got you to make those Hobbit movies, because they were crap…’ I just wait, and I just roll my eyes and say ‘Yeah, tell me about it, mate.’”

The data is even more revealing when you remove suicides.

In 2024, America had 15,364 gun homicides.

The same year, Europe had around 62,700 deaths from summer heat.

America had ~2000.

That's a policy choice.

lmao this is unbelievable

@Minietanto They understood. They’re crazy liberals that hated the fact homelander was so popular when it was meant to satire Trump who they despise. It had the opposite effect of what they intended, so they tanked it on purpose with a humiliating ending. Gave it the Joker 2 treatment

[Thomas Chadowski @ChadowskiIsBack]

I think a lot of people need to come to terms with the reality that this show was deliberately driven into the ground because it became too popular with the "wrong types" of people in the eyes of the show runners.

Be it The Man in the High Castle

Be it Joker

Be it Civil War

Be it The Boys

Any show/movie that has the interest of young, right-wing men will inevitably be driven into the ground due to hatred from its own creator over the audience enjoying it.

Gilles, je vais démonter ta prémisse de départ, parce que tout le reste de ton argument s'effondre avec elle.

Tu pars du principe qu'il faut une « sensibilité de gauche » pour ne pas laisser créver les gens de faim. C'est l'inverse total de ce que dit l'histoire économique des 50 dernières années.

Les chiffres bruts.

1990 : 2,3 milliards de personnes en pauvreté extrême. 38% de l'humanité.
2025 : 831 millions. Environ 10%.

1,5 milliard d'êtres humains sortis de la misère absolue en 35 ans. La plus grande réduction de souffrance humaine de toute l'histoire de l'espèce.

Qui a fait ça ?

Pas l'aide internationale. Pas les ONG. Pas les programmes de redistribution. Pas la « sensibilité de gauche ».

Le marché. L'ouverture commerciale. La Chine de Deng en 1978 qui abandonne le maoisme. L'Inde en 1991 qui libéralise. Le Vietnam, l'Indonésie, le Bangladesh qui s'ouvrent au capitalisme.

Les seuls endroits où l'extrême pauvreté a EXPLOSÉ sur la même période ? Le Vénézuela socialiste : de 27% de pauvres en 2008 à plus de 80% en 2018, avec une inflation de 130 000% et un Vénézuélien moyen qui a perdu 11 kilos par dénutrition. La Corée du Nord. Cuba. Le Zimbabwe de Mugabe.

La gauche ne nourrit pas les pauvres. Elle les fabrique.

Le capitalisme produit tellement de richesse que même ses « perdants » américains vivent mieux que la classe moyenne soviétique. Un pauvre US a un frigo, une voiture, un téléphone, l'air conditionné, internet. Un pauvre cubain attend du riz.

Ton argument selon lequel « le social aux USA est un désastre » repète une légende française. La réalité : le PIB par habitant américain est de 80 000$. Français : 45 000$. Un Mississippien — l'État US le plus pauvre — a un revenu médian supérieur au Français moyen.

La vérité que la gauche française refuse de regarder : dans un système libéral, il y a plus de richesse créée, plus largement distribuée, et beaucoup moins de pauvres. Partout. Sans exception. Sur toutes les périodes mesurées.

ÊTRE de gauche en 2026 face à ces données, ce n'est pas avoir de la « sensibilité ». C'est ignorer 35 ans de preuves accablantes. C'est préférer la posture morale au résultat.

La compassion sans résultats, ça s'appelle de la vanité.

Trump will be the first president since W. in 2002 to keep majorities in the House and Senate in the midterms, and it will be majorities that vote his way. He is now over 95% on his primary endorsements.

I love Massie, he would have been an excellent head of the Dept of Agriculture. I encouraged them both on several occasions to end the fued. Even though he was right on nearly every vote, being a team player mattered more.

I mean if two different global superpowers that are diametrically opposed in ideology came to the same conclusion 💀💀💀

[Melissa Chen @MsMelChen]

Notice the flip flop here.

In 2015, Xi said that "there's no such thing as the so-called Thucydides Trap in the World" and now?

Xi just sat across from Donald Trump in the Great Hall of the People and asks whether the two powers can “overcome the Thucydides Trap” and “forge a new paradigm” for great-power relations.

Funny! Because a decade ago, he used the phrase "so-called" to describe it and outright denied that it was an applicable concept.

So why the change of tone you ask?

This is what you'd call a tell, an involuntary admission that Beijing’s position has deteriorated sharply since 2015.

Back then, China was at the height of the post-financial crisis boom. Beijing was surging with double digit growth (on paper), the Belt and Road Initiative was rolling out to great fanfare, island building in the South China Sea was barely met with any Western response (thanks Obama), and the American president was still preaching “strategic patience.”

Today, in 2026, the material reality has flipped. China’s much-hyped “century of rejuvenation” has slammed into structural headwinds that no amount of state media spin can hide - a demographic death spiral, a property sector collapse that wiped out trillions in household wealth, local government debt bombs lurking on the books, and a tech ecosystem increasingly isolated by US export controls and friend-shoring.

The GDP overtake narrative that once enthralled the elites at Davos has quietly died; projections now show America pulling further ahead in nominal terms. Xi’s “China Dream” is at best delayed and at worst, never materializing.

Trump 2.0 brought tariffs back on the table, hardened alliances with Japan and the Philippines, accelerated arms sales to Taiwan, and an American public finally awake to the CCP’s game. Knowing that China requires continued access to Western markets, capital, and technology to avoid stagnation at home, Xi now does a U-Turn and reaches for the historical analogy he once dismissed.

Basically when you’re strong, you deny any threat exists hoping to lull the bigger power into complacency.

When your power and strength wanes, warn that resistance will produce the very conflict you claim to fear.

Xi is essentially saying to America, "don't contain us, don’t push back too hard, or you’ll be the paranoid Sparta that started the war against Athens.”

It's actually a veiled threat to keep the one-way transfer of power and wealth open, OR ELSE. This 180 deg shift proves that the balance is tilting back toward American strength.

The correct US response is to reject the premise entirely, and continue to maintain unrelenting pressure on every front and force Xi to choose between genuine reform at home or managed decline on Beijing’s terms. Xi’s sudden invocation of the Thucydides Trap - something he used to dismiss - simply confirms that the pressure worked.

Americans should take this as a sign that their country is not in decline, despite the insane amount of propaganda now also being touted by American influencers and podcasters.

[Daniel Friedman @DanFriedman81]

Brett Kavanaugh, a man in his 50s, had been valedictorian of his high school, at Yale College and a star student at Yale Law, had clerked for the Supreme Court, had a top career as an appellate lawyer and federal judge and a pristine reputation, and then a random woman from the town he grew up in claimed he had groped her at a party 35 years earlier when they were in high school.

Kavanaugh didn’t try to argue that the incident was consensual. He didn’t claim he remembered things differently than she did. He immediately stated that he had never even met the accuser. Denying ever meeting the accuser is a much stronger claim than merely denying assaulting her, and much easier to refute. After Kavanaugh made this denial, Christine Blasey-Ford no longer had to prove he had sexually assaulted her to scuttle his nomination, she only had to prove that the two of them had attended a party together at which such an assault might have occurred.

She was unable to do so. She did not know whose house the alleged assault occurred at. None of the people she claimed attended the party corroborated any aspect of her account. Leland Keyser, a friend of Blasey-Ford’s, who the accuser claimed was at the alleged party, said she recalled no such event and had never met Kavanaugh.

Kavanaugh produced a detailed calendar he had kept during the summer Blasey-Ford alleged she was assaulted, which included his whereabouts of every weekend night and listing who he was with. Kavanaugh argued that he could alibi himself and provide witnesses for any night Blasey-Ford claimed she might have been at a party with him. Blasey-Ford responded that she did not know the date of her assault and was not entirely certain it even occurred that year. Instead of being seen as persuasive, Kavanaugh’s calendar was mocked in both mainstream and social media because the reason he kept it was for a drinking contest he was having with his friends.

Nearly a decade later, there is still not a single shred of proof or a single witness who will corroborate the claim that Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey-Ford were ever in the same room before she testified at his confirmation hearing. Nonetheless, people like Nick Kristof still claim Kavanaugh was “credibly accused” of sexually assaulting this woman.

SCOOP: A D.C. police investigation into ex-second-in-command Andre Wright's messages shows that he repeatedly questioned crime classifications, solicited sex acts and derided colleagues and subordinates.

The texts are shocking. And I would bet it’s the first time in D.C. police history that an internal affairs report has included a footnote explaining the term WAP.

🇺🇸 Old footage of Fmr CIA operative John Stockwell saying intelligence agencies manufacture the stories that justify them.

Every major power does this: The U.S., Russia, China, and Iran.

The only difference is who gets caught and who gets covered.
