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.
🚨 JUST IN: Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is now receiving calls to FIRE Xbox CEO Asha Sharma from the Fed's Task Force after she was exposed HIRING H-1B WORKERS to replace Americans
Sharma laid off thousands of Americans — then hired foreigners.
REP. RILEY MOORE: "I want her REMOVED! She's the head of Productivity and Jobs on this task force. What's the strategy? Fire your workforce and apply for H-1B visas?! The H-1B visa program needs to be DONE AWAY WITH. It's a scam, replacing our people in the United States!"
"We are a COUNTRY, NOT an international free trade zone!" @RepRileyMoore
BREAKING: Pro-Hamas 15-year undergrad Mohsen Mahdawi will be deported back to Jordan.
The Second Circuit just overruled a rogue judge who had let Mahdawi back onto the streets.
Get him out. America is not a taxpayer-funded campus for foreign agitators.
Can we please go back to TV shows having 20 to 26 episodes a season?
I’m tired of getting 6 episodes, finally getting invested, then being told to come back in 3 to 5 years for the next season. By then I’ve forgotten half the plot and everyone looks 10 years older.
This trend where every movie has to feature people of all races—even historical films set in places where only one race existed—is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in cinema.
As a father of 6, I feel this in my bones. However, I refuse to whither weak and putrid in mind, body, or soul. I have seven to care for. Seven to lead. Nothing is more motivating to fight the atrophy that a burden carried poorly can cause. For that same burden which crushes some, can grow others. I choose to grow.
RFK Jr. reveals what HHS found when they went looking for the 375,000 migrant kids Biden lost.
"It's a huge, huge tragedy."
"One guy pretended to be the parent of 42 children. We have no idea what happened to those kids."
"We're now finding them. We found about 137,000 of them, but a lot of them you just can't find. There was about 60 kids who were sent to one address. When we looked at that address, it was a container, a steel container in the middle of a parking lot."
"A lot of them were sent to work at slaughterhouses and picking fruits in the fields. They were slaves."
"So we stopped that. Now everybody who comes in has to validate the relationship. We DNA test them to make sure they're related to that kid. Nobody gets a kid unless we know that is the kid's parent or relative."
"It's a huge, huge tragedy. My agency [under Biden] was the single biggest child trafficker in the world."
Eat a mouthful of grass and you get nothing. It goes in green and comes out green.
Eat straw and you get nothing. Your gut cannot touch cellulose.
Eat acorns and you get tannins, and a very bad afternoon.
Eat bracken and you get a carcinogen.
Eat nettles, thistles, brambles, rushes and moorland heather and you get a mouth full of blood and no calories.
Eat the beet pulp, the oat husks and the spent brewer's grain and you get the waste the factory couldn't sell.
Now feed the lot of it to a cow.
She turns every one of them into steak, butter, cream, milk and a hide, on land that will never grow a vegetable, using four stomachs and a fermentation vat you do not have.
The grass she eats grew on rain and sunlight, for free, on a hillside nobody can plough.
She is the only creature on earth that can take a field of inedible fibre and hand you back the most nutrient-dense food there is.
The cow is not competing with you for food. She eats the ninety percent you cannot.
Best plant-based diet ever invented. It just has a cow in the middle doing the hard part.
So it was a lie to try and get free money by the husband. The teen wasn’t wearing ICE and MAGA stuff. Just an 250 years America shirt. He immediately opened a crowd funding and tried to label her as Hitler. What a nasty bastard.
APPLE INCLUDED THE #BITCOIN WHITEPAPER INTO EVERY MAC FOR OVER 4 YEARS
THE DOCUMENT WAS HIDDEN IN MACOS SYSTEM FOLDERS SINCE CATALINA IN 2019
IT WAS DISGUISED AS A SCANNER SAMPLE FILE.
MILLIONS OF MAC USERS UNKNOWINGLY HAD A COPY OF SATOSHI NAKAMOTO’S ORIGINAL WHITEPAPER ON THEIR COMPUTERS FOR YEARS.

18 miles to work: I pass 17 Flock cameras.
18 miles home: I pass 12 Flock cameras.
Total: 29 cameras track me and betray my privacy every work day.
1 month ago, it was 12 Flock cameras total.
2 months ago, it was 3 Flock cameras total.
In less than 3 months it has gone from 3 to 29!!!!!
Flock Safety is creepy and overstepping the 4th amendment protections we have as US citizens. All of these cameras should be taken down.
First of all no, we're not doing this. I do not answer DMs from a company that is trying to do damage control AFTER they have ruined the trust of Americans. I do not have "good faith" debates with people who want to enslave me in a fishbowl that they can monitor at all times.
Guess what guys: We don't actually have to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, or engage in "good faith" debates with bad actors. I don't have to justify my concerns about Flock to anyone. But since this condescension pissed me off, I will respond publicly, since Flock seems to want to keep our voices in the shadows and out of the public eye.
Note the argument:
"You see, King George specifically authorized quartering troops among you, I don't know what you're complaining about it's ALL LEGAL".
Well, golly gee guys, I guess it's all right then, they made it legal.
That's exactly the problem. Notice how nobody has a problem with standard security cameras. Public security cameras are not the problem...directly pumping the feed of every square inch of the country into a centralized federal database is one HELL of a problem and we must do everything within our rights as Americans to push back against efforts like this, if we are to have a future as a nation.
Flock, much like Palantir, took the decently good idea of improving security, and implemented it in the most cartoonishly evil way possible at nearly every single step. They are working directly for all levels of government....not the citizenry. They use subterfuge, legal technicalities, and every single trick in the book to put up hundreds of cameras every single day. They constantly mislead the public about what databases their sensors feed into, and who they sell the metadata to.
They have so little oversight that it's laughable, and ALL oversight involves the classic case of "we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing". Flock has been caught lying MANY times, and misleading the public regarding what their cameras actually do. Newsflash...they don't just read license plates.
They are also concealing which agencies purchase their data specifically so as to avoid getting warrants, and in doing so they have turned the ENTIRE COUNTRY into an open air prison....where THEY get to provide the intelligence data to those who enforce the laws as selectively as they please.
And their defense for doing so? "Aww look at the cute puppy we rescued" or "We arrested one guy using our camera network, we're so AWESOME".
You don't get to arrest one genuine criminal, and use that as justification to set up and entire Minority Report-esque surveillance system to surveil the entire country. You don't get to betray trust, and then be sad that people don't trust you. You don't get to cozy up to the boot of tyranny so much that you become the boot yourself, and then pretend to be just "one of the guys".
We will not fall for this gaslighting, no matter how hard they try.
For some reason, many people think that private companies can't be tyrants, which could not be further from the truth. At a certain point, a private company can be so heavily embedded within government, that they might as well BE the government. Except they are worse, because we don't even have the tiniest way to hold them accountable except for taking the billion-dollar company to court.
That's my problem with Flock, Palantir, and pretty much every single other defense contractor in existence. I will NOT accept every single facet of my life being monitored, just in case a criminal commits a crime somewhere near me. I will NOT live in "ze pod", no matter which politician is in power, and I will not accept a future where people like this will dictate to me what my country should be.
President Trump should absolutely give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the Amish for their amazing work rebuilding Western North Carolina.
They have rebuilt hundreds of bridges, homes, businesses, and roads... and are STILL HERE!!!
No single group deserves it more.
