The entire state of California has collectively lost its mind, these people are going to run their little shithole into the ground and find a way to blame anyone but themselves

California wealth tax insanity: Tony Xu, DoorDash's co-founder, would owe over $4B in tax on his $2.5B stake.

the overton window moved, not the right. modern republicans would be democrats 20 years ago and radicals 60 years ago. a decade of censorship shifted both parties leftward.

hanania, of course, is wrong. he thinks this is a messaging problem when it's an incentives problem.

two things happened:
the definition of "hateful" expanded to include positions that were mainstream democrat 15 years ago and women lean towards what *feels* less hateful

single women benefit disproportionately from expanded government. the state becomes the provider when men can't or won't
voting patterns track marital status almost perfectly. married women vote like men, single women vote for more government
the "hate" framing is downstream rationalization of economic interest

you cant message your way past incentive structures

I'm begging people to understand these are not "protest groups", they are unregulated but very well organized militias

The DOJ needs to bring RICO charges on any organization that funnels money to them

Standardized testing was invented for a reason: it works.

No bullshit excuses about "I need better treatment because I'm x race", everyone has the same questions and opportunities.

[Marc Porter Magee 🎓 @marcportermagee]

We need tests because we can’t trust grades

More bad seeds are being shipped from China. The seeds could harm agriculture so authorities are warning people not to plant them

This is part of a pattern of dangerous agricultural products being sent from China, including to US Universities

If @DOGE carried out the mission of its charter instead of becoming an international embarrassment, this kind of thing would've been quickly put to an end.

With all the talk of the massive fraud in government spending, here's a fun story in micro that has billion(s) dollar impact in macro.

I need a few storage bins for work to hold varying pieces of equipment. Since I'm a Navy employee, I need to use our Navy purchasing system and stick to "authorized sources."

The bin on the left is from GSA advantage, one of my few "authorized sources". It measures 23" x 15" x 11" and would be sufficient. It would take about 1 week of internal paperwork and approvals and once ordered would arrive in 9 days. This bin is priced at $42.79.

The bin on the right is available at Home Depot. It measures 26" x 17" x 12" and is also sufficient. This bin is priced at $9.48 ($8.54 with my military discount).

I can go the "authorized" route and purchase 3 of them with taxpayer money for $128.37 and get them in 2 weeks (maybe). OR, I can drive to Home Depot 6 miles away and buy 3 bins with my own money for $25.62 and have them today. Which do you think I did? Hint: I have the bins today.

Now imagine this multiplied by millions of individual purchase transactions and contracts across the Department of War. The government pays FIVE times the commercial rate for virtually everything.

Somalians provide no value to America and should not be permitted entry. They hold no real jobs, have no money to add to the economy, and actively steal from the working class by committing fraud.

[Helen Andrews @herandrews]

“For most outsiders, a principal and immediately apparent characteristic of Somalis, often strongly at variance with external circumstance, was their ‘inordinate pride and contempt for other nations.’ In their own minds, Somalis were always aristocrats among savages: Arabs in a continent of inferior Blacks;
Muslims in a continent of unbelief and confusion; herdsmen encompassed by diggers of mud; sometimes conquerors but never conquered…. Consider the opinion of one British soldier, a Commanding Officer of the Somaliland Camel Corps (SCC), with many years of experience, writing in 1944: The ‘Somali is convinced that he is entirely different from and vastly superior to any East African.’”

You could build 10 of these on the moon for the low low price of one failed Minnesota childcare program

[Modern Reforms 🌱 @ModernReforms]

If you prove unwilling to take any steps to better yourself, your situation, or the world around you, you should not be welcome as an immigrant.

These people do not have intrinsic value, they are a plague on society.

[Russian Garbage Human @RusGarbageHuman]

You're in your late 20s, about to marry your girlfriend and wanting to start a family but already barely scraping by financially and still renting.

You play the game. Obey the law.
Imagine seeing someone who can't speak English, arriving and being given all of it.

[Liberty4All @LibertyUSA37]

Now we know why nursing homes in Minnesota have such high Election Day turnout and vote 90% Democrat.

[C3 @C_3C_3]

As we discover Somalians ripping us off for billions…

What % of the population pays % of Federal Income Taxes?

White: 59% pays 70%-75%
Hispanic: 19% pays 10%-12%
Black: 13% pays 6%-8%
Asian: 6% pays 8%-10%
Other: 3% pays 4%-6%

This the “white privilege” the Left cries about?

If you ever return to the country you "fled" from for a vacation, your refugee status and citizenship should be immediately revoked and you should be deported.

[Greg Lukianoff @glukianoff]

My sister is a former trauma surgeon and I was introduced to this fact years ago. The murder rate went down not for a lack of shootings but because we got much better at treating gunshot wounds. That's why the real question should be "what is your attempted murder rate." The answer in the U.S. is terrible.

[Oedipa Maas @bridgietherease]

you simply can't maintain a system that constantly makes honest decent people feel like they must be idiots for not defrauding their neighbors

[Chris @chriswithans]

Liberals when your employer pays 7.65% to the government instead of giving that very real cash to you as part of your salary: “The employer contribution of FICA is not your money. It has no relation to you. You aren’t paying it. No corporate taxes ever impact you or make you poorer. How dare you. Stop complaining; you still get to keep 60% of your salary if you follow these 1000 rules of minimizing your tax burden.”

Liberals when a random business in China has to pay $5 in tariffs for a nonessential toy: “You’re paying that, you know. He’s crushing your life with those tariffs and you don’t even know it. That $5 is actually your money, right out of your pocket. Straight out of your pocket and directly into Trump’s bathtub and you don’t know it.”

[Modern Reforms 🌱 @ModernReforms]

What POSSIBLE reason does America have to let in these functionally retarded worthless scammers? The only motive as far as I can discern is because the left wants the illegal votes, so they ruin this country to get them; spending YOUR tax dollars to do it.

[Will Tanner @Will_Tanner_1]

Somalis were too incompetent to grow food, so we tried giving them some.

They responded by chimping out and murdering 18 American soldiers.

"Our" response was to import hundreds of thousands of them so that they could steal from Americans while ruining communities in Minnesota rather than having to steal from us in the Gulf of Aden

[Modern Reforms 🌱 @ModernReforms]

The left is so brainwashed that many are beyond saving, these people will live their entire lives ignorantly and die stupid, never having contributed anything of value to society

[Martyupnorth®- Unacceptable Fact Checker @Martyupnorth]

The mass psychosis that swept the land during the last 5 years wasn't limited to COVID.

This scene was recorded in August 2020. A Black Lives Matter protest confronted White diners at a D.C. restaurants,  chanting “White silence is violence!” and demanding White diners show their solidarity.

If you survived the coercion of the last 5 years, especially by not getting vaccinate, congratulations, you have an actual moral backbone.

What country is going to be the first to stop being a pussy and take action to stop this?

[Nguyen Ho @NguyenHo1096438]

China is trashing the oceans. Each year, 4M tons of juvenile fish are caught before they can breed. That is 1/3 of China’s catch.

China has exceeded its legal catch limits every year since 1994.

[Delta, Dirac @DeltaClimbs]

The Somali fraud in Minnesota is the same order of magnitude as the Missile Defense Agency's entire annual budget i.e. the thing that makes it so China can't turn America into a nuclear wasteland.

The Somali fraud roughly equals the requested Golden Dome funds + DARPA budget.

[Lomez @L0m3z]

Over 50% of American adults have sub 6th grade literacy. Roughly 28% are not literate at all.

It is important to remember this at all times.
