Andrew Carnegie donated $2B (in current dollars) to build 2,500 libraries. Most of these beautiful buildings still stand today, over a century later, anchoring downtowns across America.

MacKenzie Scott, on the other hand, incinerated $26B on woke NGOs with nothing to show for it. Nothing she has funded will endure a year from now, let alone 100.

It would be tragic, if it weren’t so disgustingly wasteful.

So, if 40,000 Haitians are forced to leave Springfield, Ohio, won't rental housing become cheaper for ... you know ... citizens of modest economic means??

Papelon histórico del modelo socialdemócrata ambientalista europeo en Alemania.

En los últimos 15 años apagaron todas las centrales nucleares, discontinuaron el uso de carbón y fueron all in con molinos de viento y paneles solares.

El modelo fracasó estrepitosamente y después de casi dos décadas de inversiones "verdes" todavía quedaron lejos de cubrir la demanda eléctrica. Tuvieron que empezar a importar gas barato de Rusia, pero esa jodita duró hasta 2022 cuando arrancó la guerra y Rusia no les vendió más.

Ahora les pegó una ola de calor y no hay energía para que todos los alemanes prendan el aire acondicionado. Entonces el gobierno está poniendo camiones hidrantes y le pide a la gente que salga a la calle a mojarse en vez de prender sus aires para evitar apagones masivos.

Qué locura qué locura!

Imagine getting denied a mortgage because the bank said they can't see you making a good enough income to pay for the next 15 years
And then later reading that same bank was giving 30 year mortgages to people who were 1 year from being kicked out of the country.

MILTON FRIEDMAN:

“KEEP YOUR EYE ON ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY: HOW MUCH GOVERNMENT IS SPENDING, BECAUSE THAT’S THE TRUE TAX.”

“IF YOU’RE NOT PAYING FOR IT IN THE FORM OF EXPLICIT TAXES, YOU’RE PAYING FOR IT INDIRECTLY IN THE FORM OF INFLATION OR BORROWING.”

LEGENDARY WORDS.

It makes sense that Elon Musk is a trillionaire because of all the amazing things he’s created for society — space rockets, self-driving cars, AI robots — but it feels like a failure of capitalism that Bernie Sanders is a millionaire as he’s never once done anything useful for anyone. He’s a carbuncle on America’s ass.

Europe is starting to ban A/C for 2 reasons:

1. To kill old people with heat stroke who use up all the tax dollars in socialized medicine.

2. To make everyone feel hot and miserable so the “global warming” scam feels more real and they can pass more tax increases.

These globalist elites are truly evil.

Did a single person notice any improvements in their daily life thanks to this massive injection of charitable giving?

No. Because it all, 100%, vanished into the bottomless coffers of the most corrupt and useless NGOs on the planet.

Hi @CapMetroATX

In case there is confusion on what ridership wants, we have attempted to summarize:

-Bus drivers who are NOT murderers. I repeat, NOT murderers. Good try. Almost there.

-Clean and safe transport

-Clean and safe transit stops

Thank you.

Voting has consequences. Canada voted for socialism, higher taxes, more regulations, less freedom.

Business investors decided to go elsewhere.

This is why Canada would be ranked near the bottom compared to every state in the USA.

More than 1000 young Frenchmen are out on the streets of Narbonne today to demand justice for 17-year-old Louis.

He was beaten to death by a migrant gang a couple of days ago. The attackers filmed themselves stomping on his head.

Democrat operative caught on hidden camera admitting how they rigged the 2020 Georgia election, stuffed ballots, lied and kicked out poll watchers from the State Farm Arena, pulled out hidden suitcases of ballots, and ran the same stacks throughout the night until Biden cleared the margin of victory.

[Austin Justice @AustinJustice]

AUSTIN MAN did 10 years for strangling his ex-girlfriend at the Texas State Capitol, got out, and reinvented himself as a criminal justice reform advocate.

Then he strangled a 77-year-old girlfriend and rammed his Volvo into another girlfriend's car.

Benny Hernandez was celebrated by local press for his "comeback": a degree earned behind bars, a spot at UT's LBJ School studying correctional oversight, a stint with the ACLU of Texas. He wrote essays on redemption, including one about getting clean. "I've been sober since that night," he wrote.

His cause: ending mass incarceration.

But in 2024 he picked up 16 new charges across two counties, most while out on bond:
• Rammed his girlfriend's parked car, then chased a bystander around the lot
• Returned to that woman's workplace, ankle monitor and all, in violation of a protective order
• Chased another girlfriend down the street, ripped the phone from her hand, then dove into a stranger's car when she stopped to help, grabbed the wheel, and screamed "I'm going to kill y'all" until a bystander hauled him out
• Choked the 77-year-old, punched her in the head, and said "I'm gonna kill you and then kill myself." She escaped by running in front of a city bus and begging the driver to pull away. Police say he was high on PCP, cocaine, alcohol, and marijuana

In December, a judge lifted the order keeping him away from the woman he choked. And now his felonies are sliding toward plea deals.

A man who devoted his second act to ending mass incarceration has, at last, found prosecutors and judges willing to join his cause.

Thank you Germany 🇩🇪 and UK 🇬🇧 for heroically sacrificing your economy to save the planet 💪

[Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_]

100% correct. When I was at the Del Rio, TX Haitian bridge camp in 2021, many of the Haitians told me they had been living in Chile & Brazil for years before coming to the US illegally for economic (not safety) reasons. The Haitians were dumping & tearing up their Chilean documents at the river’s edge hide this fact from the US so it wouldn’t hurt their fraudulent asylum claims.

The idea that all these Haitians came directly from Haiti after an earthquake or assassination is false. Many of them were living happily and safely for years in South America until Biden’s open border policies became too attractive to pass up. Others also flew into the US via Biden’s CHNV mass parole program which was supposed to be for only 2 year humanitarian parole grants. Of course, most never left.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

Elon Musk on the Biden administration: "They took money from FEMA meant for helping Americans in distress and sent that money to luxury hotels for illegal immigrants in New York. That is an outrage! They actually did that."
