Forty people have drowned in heatwave-related deaths in France SINCE THURSDAY.

The average yearly heat-related deaths in the US is 702. Europe is 15,000.

90% of US households have air conditioning. 10% of European households do.

Alcohol is not the issue.

Europe is crippled by two fears that kill massive company creation.
Fear of failure and fear of success.

America turned failure into a badge of honor, a “near-pornographic” obsession with it as proof you’re swinging big.

Europe does the opposite on both counts.
Failure carries shame, and wild success is culturally toxic in social democracies.
Founders building something enormous quickly feel pressure to cash out early rather than dominate.

And the result is plenty of competent mid-sized firms. Almost zero world changing outliers.
No European Google. No Amazon. No Microsoft.

America’s edge has been the reverse, tolerating and rewarding big success while treating failure as data, not disgrace.
That combination built the most dynamic entrepreneurship ecosystem on Earth.

But the European disease is spreading here.
Socialist policies and “eat the rich” culture taking over big cities with punitive taxes on success, regulatory moats, and open disdain for winners are breeding the same risk aversion and envy.

Ambition gets short-circuited and scaling becomes politically risky.
The entrepreneurship ecosystem shrinks. Founders hesitate on moonshots. Capital and talent flow to freer places. Quick exits replace empire building.

And society loses the most. The outlier companies that never get built won’t create millions of jobs, new industries, and transformative progress that raises living standards for everyone.
Wealth that isn’t created can’t be redistributed.

Europe chose envy and security over ambition and dynamism and it’s paying for it in technological lag.

America doesn’t have to, unless we let the same mindset take root in our own cities.

The last King of the Hill season was actually really good. Look: a good show that respects its heritage and existing fan base with over a decade of lore behind it.

Take note, @AmazonMGMStudio and reinstate Martin Gero's Stargate. #SaveStargate

@DastDn Holy fuck - without the Save America act the country is toast.

It *is* a national emergency. He stated last week he's not signing one fucking thing until he gets the Save America Act. Damn straight!

Fact check: The Antifa ties are not alleged. They were proven in court. You know how? Through the seven cell members who pleaded guilty—five of them testifying for the prosecution at trial and all admitting to stipulated facts, including that they organized behind antifa ideology.

Also, it wasn’t a “protest.” They did shooting and tactical training beforehand, procured dozens of firearms and then came with 11 guns and shot an officer in the neck after luring victims out with explosives. I’ve been covering this terror case from day one: https://t.co/7KvehraOcs

Young guys looking to effect real change should study the most effective right-wing movement in America by far: the gun rights movement.

As recently as 30 years ago, gun control was the law of the land. The NRA and other gun rights activists successfully changed this via intense lobbying. They got organized, helped elect pro-gun politicians in every state, and in turn those politicians rolled back gun restrictions and got both concealed carry and open carry laws through. The gun rights organizations also got pro-gun, right-wing judges appointed at every level, enabling pro-gun legislation to be upheld on appeal.

In 1986, the overwhelming majority of states either banned concealed carry outright or operated on "may-issue" systems that allowed county officials to arbitrarily deny permits. (I was once refused a pistol permit in a certain blue city because I requested one for self-defense; I later learned that the county DA had an explicit policy of denying permits on this basis.) In 1994, Bill Clinton rammed the federal assault weapons ban through Congress, one of the reasons why the Republican Revolution happened two months later.

Fast forward. In 2004, both President Bush and the Republican Congress refused to reauthorize the federal weapons ban. The majority of states had switched to "shall-issue" concealed carry permitting (i.e. they HAVE to give it to you if you meet clear and constitutional requirements), including strongly blue states like Oregon and Minnesota.

In 2008 and 2010, the Supreme Court struck down handgun bans in Chicago, D.C., and other blue jurisdictions. The 2008 Heller decision defined the Second Amendment as protecting individual gun ownership (as opposed to the libtard concern trolling that it only applies to "militias") and the 2010 McDonald decision overturned gun control laws on the basis of the 14th Amendment's Due Process Clause (aka states can be prosecuted by the federal government for violating individual gun rights).

By 2016, the last two states where concealed carry was banned---Illinois and Wisconsin---had been forced to adopt shall-issue permitting and other states were beginning to abolish permitting entirely in favor of unrestricted concealed carry. By 2022, nearly half of all states had unrestricted concealed carry laws. That was the same year that the Supreme Court struck down New York's may-issue permitting, forcing even blue states to adopt shall-issue laws.

There are still gun control laws that need to be abolished (like "red flag" laws, raising the age one can legally purchase a gun from 18 to 21, and stuff like New York's SAFE Act), but gun rights' activists have made IMMENSE progress since the 80s. Even the Democrats have had to move to the right on gun control in some respects; note that neither Obama or Biden were able to reinstitute the assault weapons ban that expired under Bush. The last major gun control push was in the wake of Sandy Hook; since then, Americans have become immune to libtards' attempts to weaponize mass shootings in order to strip us of our rights.

Imagine if gun owners had behaved like the Retard Right back in the 70s and 80s. "There's no difference between left and right. The uniparty hates the Second Amendment. Even Texas doesn't respect gun rights." We would absolutely have British- or Australian-style gun control laws today. The modern gun control movement evolved out of the libtard feeding frenzy that followed the JFK and RFK assassinations. Their long march through this particular institution was halted and reversed by the tireless work of patriots. Now we have President Trump advocating for national concealed carry; unthinkable even a decade ago.

The gun rights movement succeeds because it is ruthlessly pragmatic. It has the lowest time preference out of all right-wing movements. It engages in the boring-but-necessary work of grassroots activism, legislative lobbying, and legal defense. A decade ago, I attended a conservative activist training seminar hosted by Aaron Dorr, the then-president of Iowa Gun Owners, and was genuinely impressed by his vision, methods, and accomplishments. Dorr later became president of New York Gun Owners and played a critical role in the Bruen Supreme Court decision.

If you want to succeed in politics, don't listen to influencers and podcasters. Listen to the gun lobby. They actually get things done.

Got what I voted for...AGAIN.

🚨 BREAKING: DOMINION VOTING DROPS LAWSUIT AGAINST MIKE LINDELL

The company formerly known as Dominion Voting Systems, now operating as Liberty Vote, has agreed to DISMISS its $1.3 BILLION DEFAMATION lawsuit against Mike Lindell and MyPillow with prejudice - meaning the case cannot be refiled.

But that's not the only bombshell.

Released alongside this news, @pjcolbeck's Election Crime Bureau has unveiled what it calls a historic evidence dossier on the 2020 election:

📄 800+ pages
📊 824 findings
📚 2,517 citations

Five years of compiled research, court records, sworn testimony, government documents, and technical forensics.

The report, titled:
"The 2020 Election – An Attack Upon U.S. Critical Infrastructure"

Details 10 alleged attack vectors involving voting systems, election records, certification processes, information control, foreign interference, and more.

"People have been told for years there is 'no evidence.' This report does not ask you to trust us. It asks you to read the evidence, check the citations, and decide for yourself."

@realMikeLindell says:
"Anyone that ever says, 'There's no evidence' ... this is like a library. It's a historical library with 100% evidence that backs each thing up."

🚨 JUST IN: Scott Presler is surging to John Thune's home state of South Dakota to prepare a GOP PRIMARY CHALLENGE if he doesn't pass the SAVE America Act

Pressure is BUILDING!

"I’m on the way to South Dakota right now to hire field staff to ensure Senate Majority Leader Thune has a Texas-sized primary mobilized against him in 2028 (unless, of course, he passes the SAVE America Act)."

Hardball mode for secure elections!

[Brenden Dilley @WarlordDilley]

People still don't realize what is happening...

The socialist democrats aren't the future of America. They're setting a path in motion that nobody will be able to stop... The radical communists are compelling a demand for a much more aggressive conservative leader after President Trump.

The pendulum is already swinging back faster than most anticipated. President Trump is truly the moderate, rational, stately option.

...the future will be a much more savage, aggressive and hardline Republican who will not operate with Trump's restraint.

This person should scare the ever living shit out of the left, but they're too stupid to see it.

President Trump CANCELLING Senate Majority Leader Thune’s

ROAD to Housing Act signing

is the biggest & most beautiful play I’ve seen for a while.

Leader Thune, are you listening — yet?

President Trump isn't playing games. 🔥

3 communists in New York "won" last night. A stolen election in L.A. with Nithya Ramen.

The senate brings a War Powers Act. Congress & the senate need to wake up!

Pass the Save America Act!

[John Carmack @ID_AA_Carmack]

There are a few things that I look back on as my mistakes in the early days.

Quake was overly ambitious technically. We could have done all the great multiplayer and modding work inside a Doom++ engine, allowing the designers to work with a more stable base instead of rug-pulling everything out from underneath them a couple times. The follow up game could have then brought in full 6DOF environments and characters.

I pushed everyone too hard. I didn’t appreciate how maturing companies need more slack, and that running people at startup intensity constantly will wear them out. Quake was also where I really had to accept my personal limits. I was working pretty much as hard as humanly possible, and I was still slipping past my goal points.

On all of the founders’ shoulders, our original corporate stock arrangement and buy/sell agreement was a mistake, and resulted in bad incentives. We wanted to ensure that all ownership rested in the hands of people working hard on current projects, but the Silicon Valley standard approach of vesting stock would have worked out better.

One real problem that I don’t accept the blame for is that we were insisting that level designers be not just game designers, but also have strong visual design esthetics. They needed to make things that not only played well, but looked awesome, and it got more challenging as the technology provided a richer palette. Romero covered that well, which set our company expectations early on.

We should have figured out how to pair up artists and designers earlier, but there was infighting among the designers, and the ones that could manage the visuals were happy to disparage the ones that couldn’t.

Sorry, Sandy.

Joseph McCarthy was right and his flaw was not going far enough

[Tom Luongo @TFL1728]

The basis for this post is correct. Thee problem was that the US was already captured by UK forces to implement the next outpost for the old colonial system of debt and central banking

Trump is going a step further than MacArthur… he is offering Iran the same type of deal as Japan but not as a colony of the old City Of London network (which it currently is) but as a sovereign member of the truly post-colonial world.
