I don't have many strong beliefs, but one of them is that market capitalism is humanity's greatest social invention. Once, we slept in lice and often died of starvation; now, we have steak delivered to our door while complaining that the house is 75 degrees instead of 73.
Asmongold explains why entire industries are built to keep problems unsolved instead of fixing them
“I went into the oncology building when my dad had cancer, and the bathroom alone made the Hilton look like a joke. Oak walls, paintings everywhere, chairs that belonged in Buckingham Palace. There’s such a massive institution built around treating cancer that you start to wonder how many of these people lose their job the day it actually gets cured.”
“It’s the same as dentistry. Imagine if you could just regrow a tooth, think about how much less work dentists would have. It’s like how calculators used to be actual people doing math, then we built the machine, and all those people had to go find another job.”
“Look at hair loss, it’s a three to five billion dollar industry. Every few years you hear they found the one gene that stops hair loss, and then you never hear about it again. Once you see it, you realize how much money is invested into creating problems so somebody can sell you the solution.”
i can smell the Boyle Heights chemical fire inside my house 90 miles away at 7200 feet elevation beside the National Forest. with a top of the line Austin HEPA filter running 24/7 & a Coway HEPA. do not believe these monsters telling you this is safe for your long term health
We’ve had a massive structure fire going on for a better part of a week in Los Angeles. Rancid, dark smoke blanketing the entire city. Where was @KarenBassLA? Chicago. Again. She bailed, again.

Too little, too late - as usual. A checked-out governor whose only interest is running for president, an absent mayor, bumbling Becerra as their candidate...what a useless crew.
Tomorrow I will be laying out my plan to massively improve California's emergency response.
CITIZEN VIGILANTE is a necessary film. It captures the Zeitgeist of our current moment, which no Hollywood film has managed to do in more than a generation. This alone makes it more valuable than any Hollywood film in more than a generation.
Forget the food...those burning solar panels are spewing out deadly heavy metals that all of you are now breathing in. Many of my neighbors in the Palisades had solar, and everyone in the fire zone tested for heavy metal poisoning. Trust me, you don't want to breathe this stuff.
"Colombia, aquí está tu tigre. Colombia, aquí está tu presidente": el presidente electo Abelardo de la Espriella, desde la ciudad de Barranquilla, celebra la victoria en segunda vuelta.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump-endorsed right-wing Colombian presidential candidate Abelardo De La Espriella STUNS THE WORLD and WINS the presidential election
He plans to go FULL BUKELE MODE, locking up criminals en masse, destroying the cartels and cooperate with President Trump significantly better than the current leader
"Under my government, any bandit who resists will be eliminated as appropriate, and if he submits, we will imprison him in a mega prison so he can pay his debt to justice as they should." 👏🏻
"The only peace process I believe in is one imposed by the force of arms and the laws of the republic."
MASSIVE WIN IN LATIN AMERICA!
THE RIGHT-WING IS RISING! 🔥🇺🇸🇨🇴
Just spoke to Colombian President-Elect @ABDELAESPRIELLA to congratulate him on his electoral victory.
The Trump Administration looks forward to working closely with your incoming administration to advance regional security cooperation, end illegal immigration to the United States, and strengthen our economic ties.
Colombia's best days are ahead.
It's time for Keir Starmer's exit in the UK.
People can see it clearly: the abuse of power, the neglect of his own citizens, and the prioritisation of migrants over British people.
Crime is surging while the economy is collapsing.
Socialism never works.
Censorship creates agitation.
The British people are starved for freedom and strong leadership.
When you try to appease everyone, you satisfy nobody.
The British are more than ready to turn the page. 🇬🇧
A tragic multi-vehicle crash hit the 210 Freeway in Irwindale this weekend. A jackknifed semi crossed the divider, killing a 58-year-old woman and injuring 32 others, including children.
The driver has been identified as 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh from Yuba City. He was arrested on suspicion of DUI.
Prayers for the victims and their families. We need stronger trucking safety standards and enforcement on California roads. What do you think?
The streets of Bogota have COMPLETELY exploded in as it was just announced that EL TIGRE has WON the presidential elections!
MAKE COLOMBIA GREAT AGAIN!
I’ve been living immersed in South Korea for the last month with my wife and daughter.
We just leave the stroller outside if we go in anywhere.
Because no one’s going to steal it.
I met a friend for lunch. He rode his bicycle. He just left it outside in an alley without a lock.
It was still there 2 hours later.
Another friend mistakenly left his phone on a park bench. When he finally retraced his steps and went back 4 hours later, his iPhone was still there.
I walked by a KPop concert. The fans who traveled from outside of Seoul to attend just left their luggage outside the subway station. No locks. No security.
Koreans take this for granted. They don’t realize this is not normal for most the world, especially America.
When I ask about it, they just respond, “of course, why would someone take it?”
Can you imagine any of these things happening or being possible in NYC or LA or *insert city*?
And IF, something were to be stolen in Korea, the police would investigate. Because in a high trust society, rules and norms matter.
There’s no “under $1000” law.
Theft is theft.
And trust is trust.
Will this social norm ever be possible in America?
