The devs of Mortal Shell 2 knew exactly what they were doing.

Andrew Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of the United States in 1836, delivering the single greatest blow to financial tyranny in American history. You won't hear this story told correctly in any economics textbook, because it reveals how central banking works: as a government-sponsored cartel that redistributes wealth from productive citizens to politically connected bankers.

The Second Bank held a 20-year federal charter starting in 1816. It controlled the money supply, issued currency, and held government deposits. Sound familiar? Nicholas Biddle, the bank's president, wielded more economic power than any elected official. He could trigger financial panics at will by restricting credit. He bought newspapers and bribed congressmen. When Jackson opposed recharter in 1832, Biddle deliberately crashed the economy to punish him.

Jackson called it "a hydra of corruption" and he was right. The bank created artificial booms through credit expansion, then triggered busts when politically convenient. Biddle openly bragged about manipulating markets. Free market economists and Jackson both recognized the core insight: this was legalized counterfeiting with government backing, not free market banking.

The political establishment united against Jackson. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and the entire Whig Party defended the bank. Biddle spent millions buying influence. The press attacked Jackson as an economic ignoramus. Every "respectable" voice supported recharter. Jackson stood alone with the American people.

After Jackson killed the bank, the country experienced the strongest economic growth in its history. From 1837 to 1862, America operated without a central bank. Industry flourished. Wages rose. Innovation exploded. This wasn't coincidence. When you stop subsidizing financial speculation and let productive capital find its natural home, prosperity follows.

Central banks don't stabilize economies: they destabilize them for private gain.

A BOMBSHELL buried in the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act: Section 224 would effectively merge the US & Israeli militaries.

On paper it’s “cooperation” to counter Iran, China, and Russia. But @RepThomasMassie calls it a direct threat to American sovereignty. Rep. @RoKhanna is filing an amendment to kill it in committee. And @mtgreenee went even further, warning this is exactly what foreign influence looks like in legislation.

It’s hidden inside a $1+ TRILLION annual defense bill that most members never read.

The real question: Who actually decides US foreign policy: you, your elected reps, or the same national security blob that keeps dragging us deeper into foreign entanglements? And why is this being decided in the shadows, instead of open debate with the consent of the people?

This is not acceptable. There are more than enough talented Americans that could do these jobs.

Unconstitutional laws? That's what nullification is for. States were never intended to be passive spectators while the federal government exceeds its constitutional authority.

My waiter had dementia and forgot my order.

I visited a cafe in Japan that ONLY hires people with Dementia. It's called the Cafe Of Mistaken Orders.

Sometimes the servers bring you the wrong food, never bring your order, or sit down and join you instead.

But the point of this cafe is to be a place for dementia patients to feel needed and have purpose.

And this cafe is working. Japan has discovered that being socially connected actually slows down the progression of dementia.

So now there are 8,000 dementia cafes all over Japan!

The U.S. should be more like Japan. We should keep elders out of nursing homes, find ways to give them purpose, and part of society until their last days.

Why is it that whenever I advocate for either lowering or abolishing certain taxes (primarily residential property and federal + state income), dipshits (including alleged “conservatives”) immediately reply asking me, “How do weee pay for defense, duh roadz, duh schoolz, duh policeee, duh fyre fighterz, and duh librariez?”

This is your lazy go-to response every time.

Every time.

First, doesn't the gas tax pay for the roads? Or is that a scam, too?

Second, we don't need to have any taxpayer-funded libraries. They can be privatized, or alternatively, you can go buy a book off of Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Books-A-Million. They're not that expensive, at least in most cases.

Third, public schools have too much administrative staff like most other institutions, so budget cuts could be made there without degrading the quality of education. People who don't have school-aged kids shouldn't pay for them anyways. Either tax the parents while their kids are enrolled, or send them a bill.

Fourth, local police and fire departments could all be funded using a state-level sales tax where revenue is evenly distributed. Even down here in Alabama, there is enough revenue in sales taxes to cover those expenses and then some. Most other states could make that work.

And federally? Well, the only service that the federal government should provide is our national defense (and by that I mean fighting for our actual freedoms; not fighting wars on behalf of other countries). We can abolish most of the three-letter agencies, including the ATF, DEA, IRS, and CIA. We can abolish USAID. We don't need a Department of Agriculture, we don't need the EPA, Department of Interior, or most other departments in the Presidential cabinet.

The federal government should function for minimal, albeit the most essential duties. That is, a President and his staff, Congress, a Supreme Court, Department of Defense, a minimal Department of State, the U.S. Treasury, and an Attorney General. That's about it. A national sales tax and tariffs could pay for that. It did before 1913; it can do so again.

Abolish the federal income tax.

Abolish all state income taxes.

Abolish the capital gains tax.

Abolish the inheritance tax.

Abolish the estate tax.

Abolish the property tax for primary residents.

People deserve to have more money in their pockets to spend, save, or invest at their discretion.

Period.

If you’re the CEO of an abortion pill company, and you send an abortion pill into the state of Florida, to murder a child,

We will sign a warrant for your arrest, we will have you extradited to Florida, and we will have you arraigned and charged for 1st-degree murder.

Since the 1980s, the Sahara has shrunk by roughly 8%. Satellite data show widespread greening, a pattern that is playing out across the planet.

Around 50% of Earth's vegetated land has become significantly greener, an area roughly three times the size of the United States.

The dominant driver is not rainfall or land use change, it is rising atmospheric CO2.

Higher CO2 lets plants photosynthesize more efficiently, they lose less water, they tolerate heat and dryness better.

The effect is strongest along desert margins, across the Sahel, the Middle East, Australia's interior and the southern edge of the Sahara.

Rising CO2 is making the deserts, and the planet as a whole, greener.

Israel has used American-supplied munitions to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians.

America is morally obligated to end support of Israel’s devastation of Gaza and its people. I’m cosponsoring the Block the Bombs Act to limit the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel.

I want it completely abolished. No more rent payments to the government on my property that I own.

Let's get it, Florida, this November.

It's all on us to get this passed.

Way to go, Governor Desantis!

All 50 states must do this.

COPS ARREST A MAN FOR ORGANIZING A PROTEST AGAINST A DATA CENTER:

Video shows Illinois police arresting Harley Delander for organizing a protest against a data center in his town.

He explains to police that he did nothing wrong and they’re violating his First Amendment rights.

The police don’t care and arrest him anyway. This is the current state of America.

Our government and both parties are completely owned by the tech billionaires who are rewiring our entire economy to usher in their AI techno-capitalist dystopia.

This is why you are seeing the government do whatever it can to silence any and all opposition to the dystopian nightmare their tech billionaire owners are pushing onto us.

From labeling anti-data center protesters “extremists” to now arresting people for planning protests, the US government is actively attacking and jailing its own people to protect the Tech oligarchs it serves.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

I hate to say this, but... Bernie Sanders is RIGHT.

Okay, half right. Half INCREDIBLY WRONG.

His 'American A.I. Sovereign Wealth Fund Act' would tax major AI companies 50% of their stock. So the government would OWN half these companies because they were built using YOUR data.

This is what Bernie gets right: These companies DID use your data to make these AIs. We shouldn't just let them have that for free, whenever they want it.

But I don’t trust the government or these AI companies. So, why would I want them in bed together with my data?!

It’s MY property. Pay ME for it. Let ME decide what to do with it. Not some collective government board.

Egyptian Copt Christian explains how Egypt became Muslim:

“We are one of the first Christians in the world. Islam took over by the sword. They killed the men, raped the women, enslaved the children.

Egypt went from 0% to 90% Muslim. It’s a cult of sex, perversion and violence.”
