Pauly D

[Dan Burmawi @DanBurmawy]

When I first came to the U.S. to finish school, a professor told us to take an exam at home and simply said, “Don’t use Google or open your books.”

As someone who grew up in the Middle East, I couldn’t believe it. What kind of society trusts people like that?

But over time, I began to understand what I was witnessing.

This wasn’t naivety. This was a high-trust society, something so rare in the world that most people born outside the West have never even seen it.

After the Catholic Church banned cousin marriage, people in the West started marrying outside the family. That forced individuals to move out, build broader social networks, and rely on strangers for daily life.

Trust wasn’t just a virtue, it became a survival mechanism. You couldn’t build a working society unless you believed, at some basic level, that others would do the right thing.

That trust was reinforced by Biblical values.

Add to that the stability of wealth, people didn’t need to cheat or steal to get by. So trust flourished.

That’s why in the West, you can check out at a grocery store with no cashier.

That’s why the government lets you self-report your taxes.

Because here, truth is assumed, until proven otherwise.

But Westerners, sadly, think the rest of the world works this way. It doesn’t, and especially not Islamic societies.

Islamic cultures are low-trust by design, the result of centuries of tribalism, aggressive theological systems, and economic instability.

Islam doesn’t nurture trust. It nurtures surveillance, control, and suspicion.

In the Muslim-majority societies, you’re not even trusted to be alone in a room with your cousin or sister-in-law, because the assumption is you can’t be trusted.

Allah doesn’t trust you. That’s why every move you make must be regulated.

In those societies, deception is excused, even celebrated, especially when used against non-Muslims.

Lying is seen as a tool for survival and advantage.

That’s the mindset many immigrants bring with them.

When they arrive in high-trust Western nations, they don’t see a system to protect, they see a system to exploit.

They take advantage of your honesty, your openness, your kindness.

They see how your society was built on the idea that love believes all things, and they weaponize that belief against you.

It is truly unbelievable. Sleepwalking to our civilizational demise.

Support this man and follow his Substack. We have to rally around brave people in journalism.

Secularists are embarrassed by the virtuous character of Washington. But he really was that great. God created him for the role he played.

TOP land tax means if your property has a $1 million land valuation & you can’t afford to pay the 1.75 % annual tax, if they apply 5% on the unpaid amount, it’ll take 18.2 yrs to halve your lands equity & 27.7 yrs to reduce your equity to zero

That’s how dangerous they are

FLORIDA GETS IT.

Starting this fall, students in the Sunshine State will be required to learn the truth about communism — including how socialism has repeatedly led to communist regimes, poverty, repression, and mass death.

No more sugarcoating.
No more romanticizing failed ideologies.

While other states still push soft propaganda, Florida is teaching kids what actually happens when you hand the government total control of the economy and people’s lives.

This is basic education.
This is how you inoculate the next generation against the same mistakes.America needs more of this.

The FBI is irredeemably compromised.

🚨TCF CENTER BOMBSHELL: EVERY MILITARY BALLOT WAS FOR BIDEN

Not one single Trump vote.
Not even a straight-party ballot.
Just Biden at the top—over and over.

Poll challenger testifies under oath: stacks of military ballots arrived with sticky notes ordering them backdated from November 4 to November 2.

Signatures didn’t match. At all. Same stacks run through the machines multiple times. Ballots duplicated. Logs wiped clean.

She watched it happen. Same patterns. Same fraud. Every time they needed more.

This is how they did it in Detroit. This is why the 2020 election was stolen.

Never forget. Never stop demanding the truth.

WE’RE CANCELLED | WHO’S BEHIND IT?

George Soros’s Open Society Foundations. The Gates Foundation. A Labour MP. Presentations in Parliament. An anti-AI lobby. Instagram, TikTok and payment processors all gone in the same week.

And we’re the ones with influence?

[Johnnie o @Johnnieo88]

This is one of the most cowardly, racist acts ever perpetrated by the United States government! Every step of the way this man’s rights were trampled on by the entire criminal justice system. This is not hyperbole. Everyone knows that the career criminal George Floyd overdosed on fentanyl documented by lab tests. They needed a sacrificial lamb to appease the racist BLM and their supporters. May those responsible be held accountable and prosecuted.

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

If Obama had built a ballroom because it is unsafe in this era of drones and other madness to host state dinners in tents on the White House lawn, no one on the Left or the Right would have batted an eye.

It's the right thing to do.

This was never about the White House itself. It was ONLY about hating anything Trump does.

No other reason. And two lower courts agreed.

[Roger Stone @RogerJStoneJr]

Mueller's thugs tried to pressure me into testifying falsely against Trump -said they would give me no jail time if I would "cooperate". I refused.

Michael Cohen folded like a cheap suit. Now he admits he was lying.

We are not the same.

Laws : The overwhelming support for NZFirst’s Policy for citizen only voting is an embarrassment for all the political leaders who said they don’t support it

* David Seymour
* Chloe Swarbrick
* Chris Hipkins
* Debbie & Waititi
* Q Wong
* Christopher Luxon

It’s embarrassing for all bar one of people on that list above, as the poll shows that the majority of their voters DO support Winston Peters / NZ Firsts policy.

The only party who’s supporters don’t support citizen only voting is the TOP party (makes sense they are nutters).

The other interesting point - the demographic that most strongly supports the policy is THE YOUNGEST cohort polled 18 - 39. You know the ones with the spiralling unemployment rate, with the younger end of that group finding it hard to compete with immigrants for starter jobs.

I guess it’s pretty easy to tell the party that isn’t run by the Indian lobby.

To the public, Hunter Biden’s laptop, Russiagate, and Hillary’s email server appeared to be separate and unrelated events. But they never were. In fact, the best way to understand them is as a single, decade-long FBI operation to deceive the American people.

[John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. @MrJohnJnr]

There was never a water main break at the Georgia State Farm Arena during the 2020 election. It was a diversion tactic to commit fraud. But there was some of the most compelling election fraud ever caught on video.

There was over 1.7 MILLION original ballot images missing in the GA 2020 election, which prevented a proper audit and the authentication of ballots, covering up the fraud.

There were thousands of duplicate and fraudulent ballots, all with the same exact marks, and signatures, and video of the same stacks of fraudulent ballots being run through election machines all throughout the night until Joe Biden cleared the margin of victory.

Did you know… George Floyd was ALIVE when he arrived at the Hospital?

A court ruling allowed Derek Chauvin to test the heart tissue of George Floyd.

“The autopsy report shows that antemortem blood was collected by HHC on 5-25-2020”

By definition…. Antemortem, means BEFORE DEATH.

The autopsy report (public since June 2020) and the court order referencing it do state that antemortem blood was collected by Hennepin HealthCare (HHC) on May 25, 2020.

Specifically, toxicology testing used antemortem blood specimens collected at HHC at 9:00 p.m., and there is also reference to an antemortem peripheral blood smear from a CBC at that time.

“Antemortem” means before death, so this is correct by definition.

George Floyd was alive for roughly 41 minutes after Derek Chauvin.

[Rabbi Brian Samuel @rabbriansamuel]

I was raised Jewish, but my journey led me to a conviction I never expected: Jesus is the Messiah.

I am convinced that the promises and prophecies of the Hebrew Scriptures point to Him.

I believe He is the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world.

I am Jewish. And I believe in Jesus.

Eric Swalwell reportedly was stopped at the airport, and his electronic devices were seized. The FBI seized additional evidence from his Washington home pursuant to a warrant. It is the most chilling tale for the many in D.C.: the fall of a made man. https://t.co/GobE0GXPNn

Strzok travelled to London 2 days after Crossfire Hurricane was open and 1 day before Obama met with Brennan and Comey to agree how to proceed on the Hillary Plan. Durham report shows that Strzok, Pientka, British intelligence officials and FBI's UK liaison knew straight away that Downer "tip" which was the pretext to open the investigation of the Trump campaign was rubbish. Peintka (SSA1) and Strzok knew it was rubbish, and admitted so in internal communications. Yet the FBI proceeded with it in furtherance of the Hillary plan with the full on investigation, on orders of Obama/Comey.
