"Capitalism is failing" is a common mantra these days, but when one looks at the reality of it, capitalism is still outperforming everything else!
Imagine paying $4,600 for a refrigerator! Holy cow! But, in todays dollars when adjusted for inflation, that is what a refrigerator costed 50 years ago. Now we get a better, bigger, more feature filled refrigerator for far less than $4,600. Why? Capitalism!
Things that seem like they cost a lot now actually cost more back-in-the-day.

What can a vintage refrigerator tell us about capitalism? Quite a lot, actually!

[GRANDPA’s FREE ADVICE @GOP_is_Gutless]

🚨 BOOM: Sen. Mike Lee just went FULL WAR MODE on the Senate Parliamentarian.

She’s trying to obstruct the SAVE America Act via reconciliation (only needs 50 votes), and Lee is shutting down the “protect her” crowd like Thune: “Nobody elected the Senate Parliamentarian. She occupies NO constitutional post!”

“The Parliamentarian doesn’t RULE — she only offers ADVICE. The presiding officer (VP, President pro tem) makes the ruling. The Senate can then sustain or overturn it.”

“Nothing sacred about her ‘rulings.’ Don’t fall for the nonsense that we must protect the Parliamentarian at all costs. She doesn’t even have a vote!”

NO RECESS until it’s DONE. Get it passed. 🇺🇸

[Imtiaz Mahmood @ImtiazMadmood]

Mariam Yahia Ibrahim, a Sudanese Christian and medical doctor, was sentenced to 100 lashes and death by hanging after refusing to renounce her Christian faith.

Because Sudan considered her Muslim through her absent father, the court convicted her of apostasy despite her lifelong confession of Christ. According to them, she could not be a Christian, married to a Christian, in this Muslim majority country. She was given three days to recant. She refused.

At the time (in 2014), Meriam was eight months pregnant and already caring for her young son in prison. She spent months chained to a prison floor with her 1-year-old son by her side.

While shackled, she gave birth to her daughter, Maya, inside the prison. Her execution was delayed because of the pregnancy, but she remained imprisoned until an international outcry led an appeals court to overturn her conviction and order her release.

Looking back on her ordeal, Meriam said she was not afraid. "Being in prison strengthened my faith even more," she told CBN News.

Better start paying attention free people, or you won't be for long.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

Historian Bill Federer: "By 2030, there will be a majority Muslim population in Europe, and they will just flat out vote for Sharia law.

People forget Egypt was completely Christian for 6 centuries. It's not anymore. All of North Africa was completely Christian for 6 centuries. It is not anymore.

Constantinople was the largest Christian city in the world, and the largest Christian church in the world for hundreds of years was the Hagia Sophia. And it was turned into a mosque.

They want to do the same thing with the Vatican."

Pay attention to what he is saying!

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

Here's a cool map you won't find anywhere else.

U.S. statewide JULY high temperature records.

40 (80% of) U.S. states set their “all-time” statewide July high temperature records before 1955; 11 of those were set in 1936 alone. Five states set theirs in 1930.

California's record of 134°F in Death Valley remains the official statewide, U.S. national, and worldwide “all-time” record high temperature for all months, although its authenticity has been challenged.

Imagine being forced to get two doses of the vaccine to keep your job and then hearing the CEO of Pfizer just a few months later say that two doses of the vaccine offers no protection.

That's evil stuff right there.

He told his students to go to the windows.
Get out. Jump if you have to.
Then Liviu Librescu walked to the classroom door and pressed his body against it.
He was 76 years old. He weighed 140 lbs
The gunman was in the hallway.
It was April 16, 2007. A Monday morning. Solid mechanics class at Virginia Tech, Room 204. Twenty-two students, most of them 19 or 20 years old.
At 9:45 AM, gunshots echoed through Norris Hall. Room by room, the shooter was working his way down the corridor.
Liviu heard it. He understood immediately.
He had survived the Holocaust. He had survived a labor camp. He had spent decades living under Communist oppression. He knew exactly what evil sounded like.
He told his students to escape through the windows. Second floor — it was a drop, but they'd survive. Then he walked to the door and held it shut with his body.
The shooter tried to force it open. It wouldn't move.
He fired through the door. Wood splintered. Bullets came through.
Liviu stayed.
Behind him, students were climbing out the windows. Dropping to the ground. Running. One by one, all twenty-two of them got out.
The shooter kept firing through the door.
Liviu held it shut until every student was safe.
Then the bullets killed him.
When police arrived, they found his body at the door.
All 22 of his students survived. Not one was injured.
Liviu Librescu was born on August 18, 1930, in Ploiești, Romania.
He was Jewish. In 1941, when he was eleven years old, Romanian authorities sent him and his family to a labor camp. His father died there. Liviu survived. When the war ended, he was fifteen.
He went back to school. Studied engineering. Earned a doctorate from the University of Bucharest.
But Communist Romania had no interest in allowing a Jewish intellectual to succeed. He was blocked from academic positions. Passed over for jobs he deserved. He applied to emigrate. The government kept refusing.
Finally, in 1978 when Liviu was 48 years old — Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin personally intervened. Romania let him go.
He had spent most of his adult life trapped in a country that didn't want him.
In Israel, he taught at Tel Aviv University. Published over 300 papers. Became an international expert in aeroelasticity — the science of how air flows over aircraft wings.
In 1985, Virginia Tech offered him a position. He moved to Blacksburg, Virginia. He taught there for 22 years. His students loved him — demanding but kind, high standards, genuine care.
He was still teaching full-time at 76. Still publishing research. Still showing up every Monday morning for solid mechanics.
April 16 was the first day of Passover — the Jewish holiday celebrating liberation from slavery and oppression.
Liviu Librescu died on the day his tradition sets aside to celebrate freedom.
He spent his entire life escaping death and oppression by luck, by persistence, by the intervention of others. And on his last morning, he chose to stand at a door so that twenty-two young people could have the future he had fought so hard to reach.
He could have run. He could have hidden. He could have climbed out a window with his students.
He chose to stay.
The Virginia Tech shooting killed 32 people that day — the deadliest school shooting in American history at the time.
Room 204 had zero casualties.
Because a 76-year-old Holocaust survivor held a door with his body until every student behind him was gone.
His funeral was held in Israel. Students from Virginia Tech flew across the ocean to honor him. The Israeli government awarded him the Star of David Medal posthumously. Virginia Tech named a scholarship in his memory.
His son said his father died the way he lived — protecting others.
A man who survived everything evil threw at him for 76 years.
On his last day, he made sure 22 kids survived too.
Professor Liviu Librescu. August 18, 1930 — April 16, 2007.
Holocaust survivor. Labor camp survivor.
302 published papers. 22 years at Virginia Tech.
22 students out the window.
He held the door.

NBC, ABC, and CNN refused to air President Trump’s speech on foreign election interference because they say it erodes trust in our elections.

Here’s 4 minutes of Dems eroding trust in the 2016 election.

It’s not principled. It’s propaganda.
