A good day to remind people that the “solution” to the virus was to have government employees, rich people and tech workers stay at home while poor people delivered them food. And then, for an encore, implement a system that guts the middle class through inflation while dramatically boosting the value of assets held by…the government workers, the rich and the tech workers…

Just a quick reminder that they arrested this guy for paddleboarding alone in the ocean during Covid while Anthony Fauci had dinner with Jake Tapper and his wife in DC and Gavin Newsome hosted a party with friends in California.

The West’s current biggest defense is Elon Musk With him, you at least still have a chance to correct the course

Yeah… without him, you’re mostly fucked

Now try talking some basic sense to a liberal woman without her instantly turning violent and hitting you with death threats

Today she’s protesting for more rights
Tomorrow she’s in a hijab demanding Free Hamas

That’s the reality

Reality Denied

Elon Musk’s interview with The Economist exposed a political absurdity: basic common sense now sounds radical because the elite progressive left has spent years treating reality as a nuisance rather than a guide. Secure borders, safe streets, fiscal restraint, and institutional competence are not fringe positions. They are the minimum requirements of a serious society.

That is why the debate has become so warped. Too much of the progressive left now operates in a post-factual universe, where ideology is treated as evidence and evidence is treated as negotiable. In that environment, ordinary standards of order and accountability are recast as oppression, while failure is excused with slogans.

The same argument would be celebrated as wisdom if Obama made it and denounced as extremism when Trump does.

The result is a public discourse detached from consequences. If you point out that uncontrolled migration strains public services, that crime affects working families first, or that governments cannot borrow and spend forever, you are no longer making a practical argument. You are accused of hostility, ignorance, or worse.

Musk’s real value in this conversation is not that he is universally right. Which he is. It is that he forces the confrontation between reality and rhetoric. And once that confrontation happens, the weakness of the left’s worldview becomes obvious: it can explain feelings, but it cannot reliably explain facts.

The middle of the political spectrum has not become more extreme. The left has simply moved so far from reality that common sense now looks like rebellion.

Yup

@DDFalpha AMEN. Wonderfully said

[Darin D. Fessler ✝️ @DDFalpha]

Heavenly Father, you loved me first. Before I could earn it, before I even wanted it, you loved me at the cost of your own son. I don’t ever want to get over that. But your word doesn’t let me stop there. It says since you so loved us, we also ought to love one another. And Lord, that’s where I need your help, because loving you feels easier than loving people. You know the ones I mean. The ones who’ve hurt me. The ones who drain me. The ones who are hard to be around, hard to forgive, hard to keep showing up for. My love runs out fast when it’s tested. Yours never does. So teach me to love from your supply instead of my own. I can’t manufacture the kind of love you’re asking for, it has to come from you, flowing through me. Make me a channel, not a dam. Let what you’ve poured into me actually reach the people around me instead of stopping at my own comfort. And Lord, I’m struck by what your word says next, that no one has ever seen you, but if we love one another, you abide in us and your love is perfected in us. That means my love for others is how an invisible God becomes visible. People who will never read a Bible might read me. What a weight. What an honor. So make your love complete in me. Let someone see you this week because of how I treated them. Let my patience, my forgiveness, my presence be evidence that you are real and that you abide in me. I can’t do this without you. But I don’t have to. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen. #dailyprayer✝️

Socialism’s final form is always the same: no more elections.

This weekend Daniel Ortega looked at his own country and said no more elections. Ever.

In 1979 the Sandinistas overthrew a family dictatorship that had ruled Nicaragua for over 40 years with US backing, and the new Marxist government lined up with Cuba and the Soviets, so America armed the Contras against them.

But in 1990 they actually lost a free election and Ortega handed over power peacefully. That became their big claim to legitimacy.

Then he came back in 2007 and erased term limits, made his wife co-president, and locked up opposition candidates before the 2021 vote.

And this week, on the exact anniversary of the revolution that was supposed to end dictatorship, Ortega just ended elections for good.

Because no matter how democratic it pretends to be at the start, socialism always ends in totalitarianism.

I think government can coexist in harmony with markets, and having traveled all over it’s very clear to me that market economies are vastly more innovative and efficient. Moreover free enterprise, like free speech and freedom of religion, is central to the American idea.

Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.

And the reason is worse than they think.

Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”

They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.

Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.

Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.

Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.

A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.

Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”

Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.

Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”

SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.

Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.

Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.

That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.

A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.

They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.

Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.

[Matt Taibbi @mtaibbi]

Exactly. There are handfuls of politicians and pundits who insist on making this day a referendum on Trump, when most of the country just wants to shoot fireworks and have a beer

This Mamdani-style anti-American chic that gets gushing reviews from self-hating upper class neurotics is just a revived late-sixties/early 70s fad that was boring and stupid then, and still is now
