Throughout today's hearing, Anthony Fauci repeated the following script 111 times.

And yes, his refusal to testify is grounds for contempt.

So, the rules are if you have right wing views and post incitement to violence to almost no followers you go to jail instantly.

If you do so as the leader of a left wing party with one of the biggest social followings in the UK, you don’t even have to apologise.

Britain, 2026.

This is what Zack Polanski has just posted on his instagram.

If I was to post anything as inciteful then I would expect to be arrested, and so should Polanski.

Since 2000 87% of Terrorist attacks in Europe have been carried out by Muslims , 11% leftists and 2% right wing.

We have a Muslim and left problem in the west.

This man right here,
@realBrandonGill…

32 years old.

Youngest Republican in Congress.

Already making the swamp sweat.

Raised on a Texas ranch.

Doesn’t play the D.C. game.

Doesn’t care about their feelings.

Just America First, every single day.

Future President? I sure think so!

TODAY'S LESSON IN IRONY…

THE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM IS ADMINISTERED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. THEY PROUDLY REPORT THAT THEY DISTRIBUTE 40 BILLION FREE MEALS & FOOD STAMPS TO OVER 37 MILLION PEOPLE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.

MEANWHILE, THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, RUN BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, ASKS US, "PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS". THEIR STATED REASON FOR THIS POLICY BEING THAT..

"THE ANIMALS WILL GROW DEPENDENT ON THE HANDOUTS, AND THEN THEY WILL NEVER LEARN TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES".

THIS CONCLUDES TODAY'S LESSON.

ANY QUESTIONS?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Congress is not serious.

We are voting on a stock trading ban for members of Congress…

BUT Republicans added voter-ID in the legislation.

Not to get Dems to vote for voter-ID,

but to get them to vote against the stock trading ban, so they can use it in the Nov. election.

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

Notice how Nithya Raman just completely disappeared after they blocked us out of the general election?

She's not campaigning at all. Like a pickpocket disappearing into the crowd. Just a ghost. I told you her campaign was a scam. Colluding with Bass from the start.

Hey Chicago Bears Fans,

Your blood is about to boil reading this:

I just did some research. The state of Illinois has spent over $2.5 BILLION on free benefits for illegals last year.

At the same time Illinois Governor @JBPritzker was telling the Bears there’s “no money” for tax relief on a new stadium.

Let that sink in.

For $2.5 billion the state of Illinois could have PAID for a new stadium for the Chicago Bears.

Instead, they spent it paying for lavish benefits for aliens, while running a $3 billion deficit and losing a franchise they've had for over 100 years.

This is what Democrat priorities look like. They hate you and will destroy your state for power.

Chicago lost the Bears this week. A team that's been in the city since 1921.

They didn't lose them to a bigger market or a better deal. The Bears decided they'd rather be a tenant in Indiana than deal with Illinois for one more year.

Think about how badly you have to run a place for that to be the smart move.

They lost them for two reasons.

The people running Illinois would rather villainize a builder than keep one. And they're bad at their jobs.

In 2021 the Bears spent $197M on the old Arlington Park racetrack.

Before they could break ground, Cook County valued the empty lot at $192M (Bears said $60M). They were salivating at the chance to extort a building that didn't even exist yet.

That fight dragged on for years.

The Bears were ready to put $2B into the stadium. All they wanted was a promise the county wouldn't reassess them into oblivion, plus $855M for infrastructure everyone uses. Roads, transit, utilities. A $3B project, two thirds of it private money pouring into Illinois.

Springfield had since 2021 to get this done. They dragged it to the final night of session, passed it through the Senate at 3:39AM, and the House went home without voting.

So now it's all gone.

The funniest part? This started because Cook County tried to grab the tax early. They knew a built stadium would pay $53M a year. Now they get under $4M on a vacant lot. No jobs, no buildout, no new anything.

Congrats on fighting for scraps and losing the whole prize.

Pritzker: they're "an $8.5B valued business" that doesn't need propping up.

But be smart for a second. Almost every NFL city throws in public money for a stadium. Not charity. The return is real. Tourism, hotels, restaurants, jobs, game days, property tax on a huge development. The math works.

Indiana did the math. While Illinois sat on it for years, Indiana passed a bill in months, put up $1B, and took the team.

And the Bears took a worse deal to get there. In Illinois they were going to own their stadium. In Indiana they rent it from the state. A team that wanted to build its own home gave up ownership just to escape Chicago.

Nobody won but Indiana. The Bears lost their stadium. Illinois lost the team, the $2B, and $53M a year in taxes.

Pritzker after they left: "I wasn't willing to give up billions of dollars of taxpayer money to give it to a billionaire-owned family or team."

There it is. "Billionaire-owned."

That's how Democrats talk about any business right before they run it out of town. Call them a billionaire, act like you're saving working families, take a victory lap while the tax base drives across the state line.

Meanwhile they're running the whole state into the ground. And you already know how this ends. You're living in it.

Pensions are $143B in the hole, worst in the country and not close. You pay $6,285 a year in property taxes, double the $2,969 national average, for a city that's $1.15B in the red. The mayor called its finances "the point of no return."

When you run things this badly, you sell what's left.

They leased the parking meters for 75 years to Morgan Stanley and a sovereign wealth fund in Abu Dhabi. Took $1.15B and burned through it in two years. The investors already made it all back, with 58 years left to collect.

Sold the Skyway. Sold the downtown garages. Every asset that made money, gone for one check.

But a fixed property tax rate for a team that's been here 106 years? That's "propping up billionaires."

Companies are leaving. Boeing for Virginia. Caterpillar for Texas. Citadel for Miami. In 2023 alone Illinois lost 56,000 people and $6B in income to other states. The ones who left earned a third more than the ones who moved in.

Indiana didn't outbid anyone. AAA credit, 16 years straight. A $676M surplus. Fourth-lowest debt per person in the country. They just weren't a disaster.

Illinois could have collected $53M a year. It chose zero. Ignore all the bad management but make sure to stick it to those evil, pesky billionaires.

IMAGINE A FUTURE WHERE THE CIA SITS ON THE FACT THAT THEY INVENTED BITCOIN UNTIL 1 BTC IS WORTH $100,000,000.

THEN THEY SELL SATOSHI’S STASH ($110T), WIPE OUT THE NATIONAL DEBT, AND CEMENT THEIR PLACE IN HISTORY AS THE GREATEST DEEP STATE OPERATION EVER.

I will not go and see Christopher Nolan’s "The Odyssey", not even from a critical perspective.
I am a cinephile, and I know Nolan is an excellent director, but he deserves to be sanctioned.

🛑 Anyone who obeys the new woke norms no longer deserves our money.
This must become a habit, a trend: these deeply harmful films that degrade our image internationally must fail at the box office.

Let’s launch this operation: who will NOT go to the cinema to see this spit in the face of our civilization?
Let millions of us boycott it.

Share if you agree.
I am not asking this to create buzz for myself, but because I WANT this film to fail.
