Questions and Observations: Free Markets, Free People.

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness are rights and goals.

Devoured by the Revolution Finale

The Warning:

To the modern revolutionary: study the thing you are praising.

Every revolution begins with your language. Justice. Liberation. Equality. The people. The future. Then come the categories, the accusations, the lists, the purges, and the prisons. The machine does not stop when your enemies are gone. It turns inward because purity always needs another impurity to destroy.

The Jacobins, Bolsheviks, Red Guards, Khmer Rouge, and Spanish radicals all believed they were building a cleaner world. They built furnaces for human beings and were often fed into them themselves.

America was different because 1776 did not declare war on class, blood, faith, family, property, or memory. It declared war on illegitimate power. It did not try to purify mankind. It just chained government.

That is the inheritance communists hate most.

A revolution that liberates limits power.

A revolution that worships power eventually asks for your name.

Yet he manages a press conference almost daily. For your hero, he was lucky to do so yearly and then he had to have a script and told who to call on. Tired is different than incapacitated and incompetent.

[Nickluc @rnaodm]

@QandO Whataboutism, it's all magats have left.

Turn it around, you all bitched about Bidens age, but defend Trump's continued passing out on live TV, at sporting events.

[QandO @QandO]

Why don’t I remember you whining about this when it was real and Biden couldn’t find his way off of a stage without help?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨DECLINE ON THE WORLD STAGE: Trump slowly shuffles from his car in Turkey for his NATO meeting looking weak, exhausted, and completely out of it.

This isn’t strength. This isn’t leadership.

He looks like shit, walks like shit, and Republicans keep pretending no one can see it.

[QandO @QandO]

You mean the soccer game? Nobody follows that silly sport here.

[Dispropaganda @Dispropoganda]

Dear Americans, this is how much of Europe it took to beat you in the world cup in your own home. Try being a little bit more humble next time.

[QandO @QandO]

@cenkuygur Always instructive to peruse this guy’s bulls*it opinion. It always demonstrates a total lack of any principles and instead an increasingly desperate, pathetic desire to “win” at any cost and by any means necessary.

[QandO @QandO]

Lol ... because China has never cared about "climate change". Ever.

[Max @minordissent]

Europoors: if we stop using AC we will solve climate change

China: 1M sq ft indoor ski resort that has 10 MW of refrigeration running 365 days a year

[QandO @QandO]

My guess is they'd tell you they're "free", but they can't even install AC to save lives. Of course, it's really because their electric grid couldn't handle the load. Wonder what the Euro reaction would be to telling them they can't heat in the winter either?

[EducatëdHillbilly™ @RobProvince]

You’re poor and can’t afford the energy infrastructure to power AC so you tell your idiot citizens that it’s for climate change to keep the sheep from storming the air conditioned castle……

[Geiger Capital @Geiger_Capital]

American whose family fought in the Civil War and WWII: "Colonizer on stolen land"

Illegal immigrant who crossed the border 6 months ago: "Just as American as you and me"

[Mark Hemingway @Heminator]

At every turn, it’s trans people that have been the aggressors demanding access to female only spaces.

Pretending they’re being “targeted” here is a complete inversion of reality.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The hard truth is that USAID, with its constant support of often violent leftist regime change, caused a lot of death!

[Flopping Aces @FloppingAces]

America’s ruling class has performed another miracle.

They took the most basic truths in human civilization ... crime needs punishment, borders need enforcement, schools should teach, welfare should be temporary, families matter, merit matters, and taxpayers should not be looted by professional parasites ... and somehow rebranded all of that as “extremism.”

Incredible work, really.

Apparently, a “compassionate” society is one where the violent repeat offender gets another chance, the victim gets a candlelight vigil, the taxpayer gets the bill, the schoolkid gets passed along illiterate, the fraudster gets a grant, the NGO gets another contract, the illegal alien gets services, and the working American gets told to shut up and be more inclusive.

What a beautiful system.

Soft justice did not stay in the courtroom. It metastasized. It became soft borders, soft schools, soft parenting, soft welfare, soft standards, soft men, and soft bureaucrats explaining why every obvious solution is “too harsh.”

Lock up predators? Cruel.
Deport illegals? Hateful.
End generational welfare? Lacking empathy.
Punish fraud? Complicated.
Restore merit? Problematic.
Teach kids to read? Probably colonialism by Tuesday.

A serious country protects the innocent from the guilty. A decaying country protects the guilty from consequences and makes the innocent finance the experiment.

That’s America’s real crisis.

Not poverty. Not “root causes.” Not another fake expert panel.

Consequences.

We stopped imposing them on the people destroying the country, so now the country imposes them on everyone else.

@USATODAY Not sure that fading "star" MTG has much influence over anything. She's been saying "we're done" for a while and ... meh.

[QandO @QandO]

@amyklobuchar You’ve had that sort of money multiple times over the years and you have done none of the above. Why is that?

[QandO @QandO]

@BillKristol Well at least it isn’t trannies hopping about with their fake boobs exposed is it Bill? I’m sure you had a lot to say vulgarity, tackiness and dishonoring the place then, right.

[QandO @QandO]

@PNWConservative Bernie, arriving on the "People's 'bus'", along with Liz Warren. Flaming hypocrites.

[QandO @QandO]

@RepSaraJacobs You have a system built to enable fraud. The system is the "credible evidence", ffs.

[Bad Hombre @Badhombre]

The African immigrant on the left has founded seven companies, directly and indirectly created 800,000 good paying jobs, created thousands of new American millionaires, developed reusable orbital rockets and brain chips that are giving independence to paraplegics, saved free speech, and can’t stop talking about how much he loves America.

The African immigrant on the right married her brother to commit immigration fraud, facilitated the theft of money intended to feed hungry kids, has used government to enrich herself, praises terrorists, and can’t stop talking about how much she hates America.

Leftists want the African immigrant on the left punished with punitive taxes and deported, but will try to run over law enforcement and get shot in the face in support of the African immigrant on the right.

[QandO @QandO]

@ewarren Socialism - the ideology of envy. And Liz Warren (worth 200 mil on a Senator's salary) is its poster girl.

[QandO @QandO]

@RoKhanna Capital spent by the wealthy HAS made Americans properous. Government "investing" has brought us 38 trillion in debt, lousy healthcare systems, a horrible education system, tremendous fraud and programs like the one which spent 4 billion for 7 EV chargers.
