Some melodies aren’t just meant to be heard, they can be experienced visually, too. Pachelbel’s “Canon in D” offers a captivating blend of music and visual beauty.
Boris Yeltsin walked into a Houston Randall's grocery store in 1989 and went quiet. Not quiet in a polite, diplomatic way. Quiet in the way a man goes quiet when reality collapses on him.
He saw 30,000 products on shelves. He saw ordinary Americans buying chicken, cheese, and fresh bread without a ration card, without a two-hour queue, without bribing anyone. A Soviet man of real power, surrounded by abundance that Soviet central planners had promised for seventy years and never delivered. He reportedly told his aide that if ordinary Soviet citizens saw this store, they would riot.
Central planners destroyed the price system. Without prices, nobody could calculate where to send resources. Hayek proved this theoretically in 1945. The Soviets proved it empirically with empty shelves every single decade they existed.
You grew up in that system, and you got potatoes when the state decided potatoes existed for you. You stood in line for meat that had already rotted. You traded favors to get medicine your doctor prescribed. Bureaucrats in Moscow set production quotas with no feedback mechanism, no profit signal, no way to know what you actually needed.
Yeltsin left that Houston store and reportedly wept in the car. He later said it destroyed his belief in the Soviet system more than any dissident literature ever had.
Socialism grinds people down daily, in a thousand small humiliations, until standing in line for bread feels normal.
I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.
Sixty-two years and $22 trillion later, the U.S. poverty rate sits at roughly 11 percent, almost identical to where Lyndon Johnson found it in 1964. The government ran the most expensive social experiment in human history and produced nothing measurable. Bureaucracies perpetuate themselves, and this policy worked exactly as designed.
When Washington transfers purchasing power to the poor through SNAP, Medicaid, housing vouchers, and 126 other overlapping programs, it doesn't eliminate scarcity; it relocates decision-making from individuals to administrators. Those administrators develop career interests in perpetuating dependency, because a solved problem eliminates their department.
Free market thinkers identified this perverse incentive structure before Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act. Every dollar taxed from productive activity carries a deadweight cost before it reaches anyone's dinner table.
Capital formation lifts people out of poverty. You build wealth through savings, property rights, and voluntary exchange, none of which $22 trillion in redistributed spending actually produced.
#NEPAL: This is incredible. 1,643 children survived because one headmaster acted fast when disaster was already on the way.
He received a warning that a village upstream had been swept away by the river. He immediately rang the school bell and moved the children and teachers to higher ground.
School buses were on the way to school, He called the bus drivers and told them: "Don't come here. Go back."
One school bus was already on its way. The headmaster saw it approaching the bridge and told the driver to turn back. The bus reached safety just before the bridge collapsed.
Then the flood hit the school. The entire three-storey school was washed away. It completely vanished. Not even a trace was left behind.
But all 1,643 children survived.
47 year old Rajendra Dadabi a teacher who became a hero when it mattered most. One man's quick thinking saved 1,643 lives.
Ann Widdecombe schools a roomful of woke students on the importance of free speech.
"Only two sorts of people oppose free speech... snowflakes and totalitarians."
"Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings."
"It is an occupational hazard of living in society. And if you really can't take it, become a hermit."
"No matter how much we may disagree with somebody, we should defend to the hilt their right to say it."
"You succeed by defeating your opponent, not by wishing him away. You get nowhere by trying not to hear what is being said."
"You may feel virtuous today in what you will not hear, but tomorrow somebody may feel virtuous in not hearing what you have to say."
"Free speech is for all, not for the privileged few."
Robert Farle hat gerade live im Bundestag die Klima-Religion mit einem Taschenrechner hingerichtet.♥️👏
78 % Stickstoff.
21 % Sauerstoff.
0,04 % CO₂.
Davon produziert die Natur selbst 96 %.
Von den restlichen 4 % menschgemachtem CO₂ kommt Deutschland auf lächerliche 1,76 %.
Hochgerechnet ergibt das einen deutschen Einfluss auf den weltweiten CO₂-Gehalt von 0,000028 %.
0,000028 %!!!!
Und für diese Zahl soll Deutschland weiter seine Industrie zerstören, seine Strompreise explodieren lassen, seine Arbeitsplätze ins Ausland treiben und den Wohlstand der arbeitenden Bevölkerung opfern?
Die Regierung, die Grünen, die Medien und alle, die diesem Wahnsinn immer noch applaudieren, tun so, als würde ohne die deutsche Energiewende die Welt untergehen.
Während China und Indien jeden Monat neue Kohlekraftwerke hochziehen.
Während der Rest der Welt einfach weitermacht.
Und wir? Wir zahlen. Wir frieren. Wir verlieren unsere Fabriken.
Farle hat nur eine Frage gestellt:
„Wie blöd halten Sie eigentlich die Menschen?“
Die ehrliche Antwort lautet: Offensichtlich so blöd, dass sie immer noch glauben, Deutschland könne das Weltklima retten, während der Rest der Welt das Gegenteil an den Tag legt😂
Das ist kein Klimaschutz mehr.
Das ist ideologischer Selbstmord auf Kosten der eigenen Bevölkerung.
