Sylvester Stallone says the night he was nominated for an Oscar is one of the saddest days of his life

Sly: “A year before, I was destitute. I had nothing, I was broke. And it came out, and a miracle happened, and I’m with some of the best films in Hollywood. I’m like, God, I’m in the same category as Best Picture. These are great writers, great people. And they gave me a front-row seat.”

“And I invited my mother. I told her I’m up for an Oscar, I was a bum a year ago. She goes, ‘All right, but you have to invite Vivian.’ I go, ‘Who’s Vivian?’ She goes, ‘My hairdresser.’ I go, ‘I don’t have a seat for your hairdresser. It’s you and me, front row.’ She goes, ‘If you don’t invite Vivian, I’m not coming.’ I go, ‘You haven’t seen Vivian in ten years, she lives in Washington DC.’ She says, ‘I want to see Vivian with me, and then I’ll go.’”

“Well… she didn’t go. So I went alone.”

“So when people go, ‘Ah, you must’ve loved the Oscars’, well not really.”

Sistine: “In your entire acting career, I’m not even going to say Rocky, did they ever acknowledge how proud they were of you?”

Sly: “No, not even once.”

John Thune pulled the Senate into session at two in the morning with only five members present and teamed up with Schumer to force through the Democrat funding bill before leaving town so the president could not make any recess appointments. This late-night stunt is pure establishment sabotage against the mandate voters gave and the video of the empty chamber is circulating as proof that some Republicans are still more interested in protecting the swamp than delivering the change people actually elected.

One of Ayn Rand's very best observations, which has aged like fine wine:

"Socialism is not a movement of the people. It is a movement of the intellectuals, originated, led and controlled by the intellectuals, carried by them out of their stuffy ivory towers into those bloody fields of practice where they unite with their allies and executors: the thugs."

Cancer was practically unknown before vaccination began.

In 1909, Dr. W.B. Clark — a well-known physician declared:

“Cancer was practically unknown until cowpox vaccination began… I have dealt with 200 cases of cancer. I never saw a case of cancer in an unvaccinated person.”

Even more disturbing: the exact same warning appears in ancient cuneiform records from 1500 BC.

For thousands of years the pattern has been clear:
No vaccines = virtually no cancer.
Vaccines introduced = cancer appears and explodes.

The 1950s–60s polio vaccine was later confirmed to be contaminated with SV40, a cancer-causing monkey virus that infected up to 30+ million Americans.

Today we are told “vaccines are safe.”
The same institutions once assured us the polio shots were safe too.

Still no sign of cancer without cancer-causing injections.

The evidence has been staring us in the face for over 4,000 years.

Question everything. Protect your family.

Bill Maher shuts down Scott Galloway on the spot after he says “everyone should be” on a GLP-1 “within 24 months.”

GALLOWAY: “Every time we find out something new about GLP-1, it's a positive. They're now saying that it reduces the likelihood of stage one cancer going to metastatic cancer... by 50%. Every time we keep waiting for another shoe to drop, we find out, ‘Oh, it's actually a good thing.’ Everyone at this table is going to be on a GLP-1 within 24 months.”

MAHER: “No, not everyone at this table!"

ERIN BROCKOVICH: “No.” [Shakes head]

GALLOWAY: “Everyone should be.”

MAHER: “Well, it’s not been around long enough, I don't think.”

GALLOWAY: “It's FDA approved. I trust our agency.”

MAHER: “Oh, and when did they ever lie?! When did they ever get one wrong?”

GALLOWAY: “Fair enough. I set myself up for that one. I think when you look at the studies around the upside versus the downside here, it's the most transformative technology in the world.”

MAHER: “It is very transformative. It also saps — they have found — people's drive. I mean your drive to eat, but also like your drive to work. Companies don't like it because that kind of like eye of the tiger... goes away in a lot of people when they take this.”

GALLOWAY: “Well, the fear is it doesn't want to make you eat less, it just makes you want less. That's the fear. Right?"

MAHER: "I don't want to want less!”

GALLOWAY: “Fair enough.”

MAHER: “I can control my eating without a drug!”

GALLOWAY: “I think you're blessed with genetics that make it easy for you, and you have the money to eat well.”

MAHER: “Okay. But I've showed this picture before of people like in 1969... There's no fat people in the crowd. And trust me, cake was delicious in 1969. Somehow they controlled it.”

When Will Ferrell and Jeff Goldblum went live with SNL's "Space: The Infinite Frontier with Harry Caray" sketch, the first part was scripted and on cue cards for both actors, but halfway through, Ferrell started improv'ing insane questions and you can see Goldblum holding on for dear life answering them 😂 I forget how good this era of SNL really was

You are guaranteed to become dumber about wildlife if you read FactPost. It’s outrageous what they put out here, and it makes it harder for actual conservationists to advocate for species protections.

Under Biden and Inteior Sec Deb Haaland The Fish and Wildlife Service listed the dune sagebrush lizard as endangered for two main reasons. They said its habitat in the Permian Basin, specifically shinnery oak, could not be restored after well pads/roads were put in by oil and gas, which just isn’t true, they just declared it so. The second reason to list the lizard, of course, was climate change (Biden).

But in court, the Fish and Wildlife Service admitted two glaring omissions in its own work: failure to consider the state of Texas’ Conservation Plan and the additional conservation agreements with private industry and landowners called “Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances.” These are extremely robust conservation efforts, and they weren’t even included when deciding whether to list the lizard. They do things like requiring oil and gas to avoid high quality habitats, minimize impacts and reclaim certain ecological impacts, and pay for research/monitoring.

The FWS, when deciding to list a species as endangered must consider what a state is already doing and any additional private land or industry led conservation mitigation, these were ignored in the listing.

There was also a glaring lack of range wide population data so everything was based on a habitat model, when FWS itself conceded the lizard still occupied much of its historical range and could persist for decades as is. Also, the FWS ruling gave no guidance to oil and gas, agencies, land owners etc about permissible land use, leasing, well plugging, ranching, pesticides, any uses at all.

This whole mess is due to nothing other than the Biden Admin’s war on domestic oil and gas development in the Permian Basin. Say what you will about libs but man do they punish their enemies (even it if means previously apolitical science-based agencies like the FWS are now viewed with suspicion).

In 1998, Serena and Venus Williams said they could beat any man ranked outside the top 200 in the men's division.

So, little known and 203rd ranked men's player Karsten Braasch took them up on the challenge.

Braasch after a night of drinking and smoking with zero practice, destroyed Serena 6-1 and Venus 6-2 in straight sets.

The Williams sisters are the greatest female athletes of all time. And they barely made Braasch break a sweat.

It wasn't because Braasch was very good. He wasn't.

But, as a male, he possesses biological advantages even the best female athletes can't compete against.

That's the very reason we established women's sports to begin with.

To even the playing field.

That shouldn't be controversial. And you shouldn't need a biology degree to understand it.

Americans have had enough

“I am watching everything my ancestors built being sh*t on or destroyed, and you expect me to be like, "Oh, but the tribal behavior of 3rd world immigrants is acceptable because they're traumatized"? I don't care. Kick them out, send them back to their 3rd world countries, give me back my money and my taxes. I really don't care”

We ALL don’t care. None of us accept this behavior anymore

We are very close to losing our culture and our countries. All 3rd world immigration needs to be sent back to their home countries and the people who orchestrated this need to be held accountable

An estimated $200 billion in our tax money has been spent per year in recent years before Trump to bring foreigners into America…. Insane

We all deserve a refund

The estimated cost burden is about $150 billion per year on immigration

Send them ALL back

The Cash for Clunkers program, which Congress passed in June 2009 and burned through its $3 billion budget in under two months, destroyed functional wealth on a national scale, and somehow they called it "stimulus."

The mechanics were simple: trade in a working car, receive up to $4,500 toward a new one, and watch government employees pour sodium silicate into the old engine to make it seize permanently. Around 700,000 vehicles got crushed. These were not rusted-out death traps. The eligibility rules required the trade-in to be drivable and insured. You were watching the state systematically annihilate usable capital because Keynesian demand theory told it that destruction generates recovery. Frederic Bastiat explained why this is wrong in 1850, in an essay short enough to read on your lunch break. Congress ignored it.

The ripple effect hit people the government never mentioned in its press releases. Mechanics lost repair work. Used-car dealers watched their inventory evaporate. Low-income buyers who depend on the sub-$5,000 market faced prices that jumped roughly 10% in the years after the program. Free market economists call this "seen versus unseen." Politicians only showed you the gleaming new Chevy Malibu driving off the lot. They never showed you the single mother in Akron who needed a $3,000 Corolla and found nothing affordable left on the lot.

Even the environmental justification collapsed under basic scrutiny. A 2009 study by Resources for the Future calculated that the program cost between $237 and $365 per ton of carbon dioxide reduced. The voluntary carbon credit market at the time priced a ton around $10 to $20. The government spent up to thirty times the market rate to achieve an environmental outcome the market was already pricing far more efficiently.

This is what central planning always does. It takes your money, destroys real assets, and transfers wealth from the poor to auto manufacturers and their financiers. The program's designers received awards. The Akron mother paid higher prices. The engines sat crushed in junkyards. Nobody in Washington answered for any of it.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Bill Maher’s audience audibly gasps when he reads what the Democratic Socialists of America are actually saying out loud:

MAHER: “Trump has told 1 trillion lies, but when he says the DSA are actually COMMUNISTS, that’s not one of them.”

“And it’s not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates.”

“J.D. Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of the DSA, my vote was in play. And all I heard all vacation was, ‘Oh, my God, you’re a Republican now.’ No, that's not what I said. I said in play, and here’s why.”

“Because not a week goes by where I don’t read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the Democratic Party. And then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out! Again.”

“Let’s just read the quotes. The DSA platform says: ‘You work as much as you are able and no more than needed.’ If that was any closer to Karl Marx’s dictum, from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, they’d be sued for plagiarism.”

“New York Mayor Mamdani once tweeted, Karl Marx’s words exactly. They’re not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy, he laments the fall of two of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.”

“Mamdani's aide, his top aide, Cea Weaver, said, ‘If you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over.’ And ‘impoverish the white middle class.’ What? That's a goal? You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?”

“One of the new, soon-to-be Democratic congresspeople, Darlesia Chavalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords and said, ‘Seize the means of production.’ Mamdani has said ‘The end goal is seizing the means of production.’ I think they want to seize the means of production.”

“Now, maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but THAT'S COMMUNISM.”

“Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance. And I must take them at their word. When their words include, ‘Our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society. In a word, communism.’”

“What do they have to do, tweet out ‘Elect more communists’? Oh, yeah, Cea Weaver did that.”
