@realMaalouf Break the budgets and you have less spent on policing…

Shocking data reveals: Out of 50 million Muslims in Europe, 40 million are on welfare and receive social benefits.

If I don’t like Apple’s price hikes, I can take my business elsewhere. I can buy a Samsung phone or a Dell laptop.

On the other hand, if I don’t approve of the taxes Sen. Sanders enacts… I’m screwed. I pay them at gunpoint or I go to prison.

So maybe sit this one out, Bernie.

This is incorrect.

Verargues recorded a high temperature of 46.0°C (114.8°F) on June 28, 2019.

Retract this misinformation and correct the record.

@Jason Maybe “makers” should start offering their own tailored educational certification programs to high school grads, thereby avoiding the expensive and overall liberal college path.

If you ever doubt that rage against “the oligarchs” is performative rich kid bullshit, consider the source:

Ro Khanna is worth $233 million.

He lives in a $9.5 million “second home” in DC.

He made over 4300 stock trades last year as a sitting member of Congress representing Silicon Valley.

Ro Khanna IS “the oligarchs.”

It's not your decision to make, Bernie, whether a price is "unacceptable." That belongs to the people making the purchase, not a government bureaucrat who imagines he knows what a thing ought to cost. If the price is too high, men don't buy it, and Apple lowers it. That is the only authority required: the free judgment of the buyer.

You want to talk greed? Greed is wanting what you did not earn and seizing it by force. Cook offered you a phone you are free to refuse. You offer the public nothing and demand the power to dictate terms to a company you never built, with money you never made.

Apple's "profits" are millions of voluntary choices to trade. Your career is the opposite: taking by law what men would not give you by choice. One of you produced the value. The other just wants the power to command it.

The greed isn't in Cupertino. It's in the Senate seat that confuses a vote with ownership of other people's work.

Open borders, "homelessness," trans, DEI, and other issues appear to have nothing in common, but they do. Each undermines a core pillar of civilization (i.e., law & order, child protection, meritocracy) in the name of compassion. Put them together & you have the end of the West.

Every year, Europe lets 10,000s of its citizens die from heat because of its ideological rejection of the century-old technology of air conditioning

With US-level air conditioning, Europe could prevent about 26,000 deaths in a year like 2022

The 17th Amendment has created a Senate that violates the intent of the Constitution—allowing senators to be more beholden to Washington than the states they claim to represent.

We need to repeal the 17th Amendment to restore the Constitution’s original balance of power, strengthen federalism, and make the Senate accountable to the states it was designed to represent.

Why does no one care?

In Africa, Arab Muslims are enslaving black African Christians.

The media, progressives, Palestinian protesters, the UN, and even the Pope remain silent.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Stephen A. Smith admits he can’t wrap his head around “how the hell” the Clintons and Obamas left office worth upwards of $100,000,000 after “serving” the American people.

“Clinton was a lawyer in Arkansas, grew up poor, relatively broke. How the hell he and the Clinton Foundation are worth hundreds of millions of dollars beats me.”

“Barack Obama was a community organizer who became the President of the United States. And last time I checked, that salary ain’t over $450,000.”

“How the hell you depart from office, [together] you worth over $200 million?”

Clintons’ net worth before office: ~$1,300,000
Clintons’ net worth today: ~$120,000,000

Obamas’ net worth before office: ~$1,300,000
Obamas’ net worth today: ~$70,000,000

The Lancet “condemned conspiracy theories” in 2021 that are now the consensus belief of the entire US intelligence community in 2026. Maybe sit this one out.

[Chris Martz @ChrisMartzWX]

Thanks for admitting that the EU’s “net zero” policies have done absolutely nothing to stop heatwaves.

Suicidal empathy strikes again, amirite? 🤣

Also, I love how you blame the ongoing EU heatwave on U.S. energy policies, but not China which produces ~6 billion more tons of CO₂ emissions per year than the U.S.

In any case, the heatwave was caused by a ridge of high pressure in the mid-troposphere that stalled and formed an omega block. Emissions don't cause those synoptic setups to form, fluid dynamics does. Learn a thing or two about the weather, son.

If you hate America, the only reason you'd be interested in "representing" it is to destroy it.

We are in Texas. Just filled up for $3.59. In L.A. on Monday it was $8.59.

Californians: It's not the Iran war. It's not "Trump." It's Democrat policies that have given us the highest gas prices in America.

You can have $3.00 gas but you have to VOTE for it in November.
