I just wish Democrats and Republicans were as adamant about rejecting Adolf’s policies as they are about rejecting his label. Centralized power, state-directed economics, censorship, political coercion and collectivism don’t become less dangerous just because you call them something nicer.

The scariest thing about climate change isn’t fossil fuels, it’s politicians using the weather as an excuse to make energy scarcer, life more expensive, and themselves more powerful, then calling the resulting hardship “climate action.”

Fairness isn't forcing one person to pay for what another receives. Fairness is getting what you paid for. Sacrificing one person because he succeeded more than another isn't equality, it's discrimination by income.

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

Bernie's movement survives by replacing economics with emotion. Convince people that success is exploitation, envy is justice, and politicians can redistribute a nation into prosperity. It has failed everywhere it's been tried, but resentment is easier to sell than economics.

I love how the people who say they want money out of politics can't accomplish any of their political goals without first taking other people's money. Their entire platform depends on the government redistributing wealth.

"Money out of politics" usually means "your money into politics." Every promise on that list is paid for by someone else.

Their solution to everything is the same: give politicians more of your money and more authority over your life, then act surprised when lobbyists show up to influence how that money and power are used.

In light of Shiloh Hendrix's recent conviction...

A White woman gets robbed and deliberately provoked on camera. Instead of the thieves facing consequences she becomes the one charged because she spoke a banned racial term.

That single word now decides who is guilty and who is innocent. Justice flips the moment the wrong sound leaves a White mouth.

Modern courts and institutions have created something that looks a lot like old blasphemy rules. One racial group receives protected status. Everyone else faces heightened risk for crossing an invisible line. The penalties are real and the enforcement is selective.

People are trained to walk on eggshells around Black feelings. The reverse expectation never appears. Offenses against Whites never trigger the same institutional panic or legal response.

This arrangement cannot stand. It is simply not sustainable. No race deserves permanent special protection. No group gets to hold the rest of society hostage to its strategic sensitivities.

The extraordinary power given to certain words must be taken away so ordinary people stop living under the threat of social and legal punishment for speech - especially in nations built by Europeans.

On te vend depuis 40 ans que sans « sensibilité de gauche », les gens crèvent de faim.

C’est exactement l’inverse de ce que disent les chiffres.

1990 : 2,3 milliards d’êtres humains en pauvreté extrême. 38 % de l’humanité.
2025 : 808 millions. Environ 10 %.

1,5 milliard de personnes sorties de la misère absolue en 35 ans.
La plus grande réduction de souffrance humaine de toute l’histoire de l’espèce.

Qui a fait ça ?

Pas l’aide internationale.
Pas les ONG.
Pas les programmes de redistribution.
Pas la sensibilité de gauche.

Le marché.
L’ouverture commerciale.
La Chine de Deng qui abandonne le maoïsme en 1978.
L’Inde qui libéralise en 1991.
Le Vietnam, l’Indonésie, le Bangladesh qui s’ouvrent au capitalisme.

Les seuls endroits où l’extrême pauvreté a explosé sur la même période ?
Le Venezuela socialiste (de 27 % à plus de 80 % en dix ans, inflation à 130 000 %, un Vénézuélien moyen qui a perdu 11 kilos).
La Corée du Nord.
Cuba.
Le Zimbabwe de Mugabe.

La gauche ne nourrit pas les pauvres.
Elle les fabrique.

Le capitalisme produit tellement de richesse que même ses « perdants » américains vivent mieux que la classe moyenne soviétique.
Un pauvre américain a un frigo, une voiture, un téléphone, la clim et internet.
Un pauvre cubain attend du riz.

Et le « social américain est un désastre » reste une légende française.
PIB par habitant US : 80 000 $.
France : 45 000 $.
Un Mississippien (l’État le plus pauvre des États-Unis) a un revenu médian supérieur au Français moyen.

Dans un système libéral, il y a plus de richesse créée, plus largement distribuée, et beaucoup moins de pauvres.
Partout. Sans exception. Sur toutes les périodes mesurées.

Être de gauche en 2026 face à ces données, ce n’est plus de la sensibilité.
C’est préférer la posture morale aux résultats.

La compassion sans résultats, ça s’appelle de la vanité.

[The Rational Animal 🤔 @theobjectivist]

Comrade the Looter Sanders commissioned this study himself, then presented it like he stumbled onto a crime scene.

Here's what he left out of his own report.

Amazon spent $1 billion in September 2025 raising average pay above $23/hour, with total compensation over $30/hour including benefits. Healthcare dropped to $5/week premiums and $5 copays. Three-year employees have seen 35% pay growth. He forgot to mention all of it.

Amazon's workforce exploded past 1.5 million since 2020. Triple the count in a program means nothing without the denominator, which he conveniently omits.

Nationally, working adults on Medicaid rose from 12M to 13.8M and SNAP from 9M to 10.6M, because eligibility was loosened. More people qualify. That's his policy, not Bezos's wage.

And real hourly earnings? $11.18 in 2024, $11.32 in 2026. Flat. Not because employers got greedy, but because the Fed printed the value out of your paycheck.

He built the dependency machine, expanded who qualifies, debased the currency, then points at the man paying $30/hour in total comp and calls him the villain.

[Daniel Concannon @TooWhiteToTweet]

Let's take a walk through the "American justice system," shall we?

Sharmake Omar is the Somali man who filmed Shiloh Hendrix on the playground in Minnesota that day in April 2025.

In January 2022, he and another Somali man "allegedly" spent two days raping an underage foster care runaway in a trailer, keeping her falsely imprisoned.

In March 2025, all charges were dismissed "in the interest of justice."

Weeks later, in April 2025, he turned his camera phone on at the playground after a young Somali thief attempted to steal from a White mom, Shiloh Hendrix, and began haranguing that White mom for having said the word "nigger." Omar demanded that Hendrix repeat the word on camera, which she did - four times, while Omar himself said the word five times in the less-than-one-minute video.

Four long months later, multiple "disorderly conduct" charges were maliciously brought against Shiloh Hendrix for the playground incident in which she was the only victim, and Sharmake Omar was the videographer.

Then, last night, Shiloh Hendrix was CONVICTED - specifically for saying "nigger" to Sharmake Omar AFTER he demanded she say it, while he himself said it repeatedly. Her sentence is a $1,000 fine and 200 hours of community service.

By the way, Sharmake Omar WAS NEVER CALLED TO TESTIFY in the Hendrix trial.

But don't worry, that's not all the justice we have in store for today. Just keep the substance of Shiloh's "crime" - as well as her sentence - in mind as we move forward.

Rewind to April 2020. That's when Sharmake Omar, our favorite Somali videographer, along with another Somali friend of his (separate from his alleged co-raper), committed a violent assault in the street. Omar threw a rock at a car, then attacked and beat the 16-year-old driver. A bystander tried to intervene, but Omar's accomplice threatened him with a knife.

For this, Sharmake Omar was charged merely with DISORDERLY CONDUCT. Yes, for hurling a deadly weapon at a vehicle, then beating the teenage driver while his criminal pal held off onlookers at knifepoint, Omar faced the EXACT SAME CHARGE that Shiloh Hendrix faced for saying a word that Omar asked her to say, as she held her child in her arms and fled the playground before Omar could assault her, too.

Like Shiloh Hendrix, Sharmake Omar was convicted on his count of disorderly conduct.

His sentence?

A $200 fine.

That's it. That's the entire thing.

So, to review:

Rape an underage foster child for two days (allegedly)? Clean slate.

Hurl a deadly weapon at a car and assault its driver? $200.

Say a word to an accused rapist/kidnapper and convicted violent criminal who demands you say it while saying it himself? $1,000 and 200 hours - not to mention international infamy.

Could the anti-White standard be any more egregiously in our faces?

Seriously, everyone involved in prosecuting the Shiloh Hendrix case is unspeakably evil. This includes, but is not limited to:

~ Rochester City Attorney Michael Spindler-Krage
~ Lead prosecutor Nicholas Shabel
~ Judge Christa Daily, who ensured Shiloh's conviction
~ The Rochester NAACP
~ Rochester's "Community Engagement Response Team"
~ Rochester Mayor Kim Norton
~ Rochester City Council President Randy Schubring
~ Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison
~ Minnesota's Council on American-Islamic Relations
~ Sharmake Omar, without whom none of this would have happened
~ The young Somali thief's non-English speaking parents
~ Innumerable members of the local Somali scam network
~ Six jurors - two men and four women (reportedly all White) - who unanimously agreed that White people are not protected under the US Constitution

While we're here, a special dishonorable mention must go to every single "FIRST AMENDMENT" organization in this hollowed-out country of ours. You know the ones - they relentlessly solicit and collect large sums of money to "DEFEND FREE SPEECH" while continuously, cravenly shrinking away from EVERY meaningful case where White people - LITERALLY THE ONLY GROUP WITH MAJORITY SUPPORT FOR THE FIRST AMENDMENT - are so clearly maliciously persecuted.

Similarly, NOT ONE official at any level of government has spoken up to defend Shiloh Hendrix or her Constitutional rights, nor to condemn the flagrantly anti-White, utterly unconstitutional witch hunt she's endured. Not one.

And on that note, we conclude today's review of the good ol' "American justice system."

Lady Justice isn't blind. She's anti-White. And it's never been plainer to see.

[Whole Mars Catalog @wholemars]

Listening to people complain about the Tesla Robotaxi rollout reminds me of that scene in Idiocracy where President Camacho promises everyone that Not Sure (Ashok) is going to fix all the country's problems, and do it all in one week.

It turns out that the economy is collapsing because people have been watering the crops with Gatorade instead of water. They switch back to water, but by the time the week is over Not Sure is fighting for his life roman gladiator style in a giant colosseum. Then people realize that the crops actually *are* growing with the water, and his life is saved just in time.

I remember a time when the Tesla community was a powerful force in pushing back against naysayers. When a chorus of haters and short sellers said "Model 3 production is too slow. They will never reach 5,000 a week. They will never reach profitability" it was the Tesla community that pushed back and said they believed in the company. And sure enough the company did eventually scale up Model 3 and Y, did eventually hit profitability, and did eventually hit their targets even if they missed them a few times first. The Tesla community saw that because they understood the company in a way the naysayers didn't. Now, many of those some people have become the naysayers.

I can't blame them completely. A lot of the people who understood EVs and the auto industry very well are left scratching their head trying to understand AI, autonomy, and robotaxis. You've got a bunch of options traders who are not AI experts but bought options that are expiring now, hoping Robotaxi would have scaled further. Just like the people in Idiocracy they have good reason to be upset — they're hungry, and the crops aren't growing.

But just like the naysayers were wrong about Tesla being unable to scale the Model 3 & Y, today's naysayers couldn't be more wrong about Tesla being unable to scale Robotaxi. At this point they have hundreds of fully driverless cars registered in 6 cities. This is the first time this has ever been done with pure computer vision. How many announcements and signs of progress can you dismiss before you finally admit what is happening?

This is not a linear thing. The first step in deploying Robotaxis is to put a few on the road and see how they work. And no, it's not just going to be perfect out of the box on the first day. There are going to be issues you couldn't forsee, unique problems in new areas, and improvements to be made. But once you can do 200 driverless cars safely, it doesn't take much more to scale to 1,000 and beyond. Just look at last week in Texas where we went from 100 to 175 cars registered in a 24 hour period. The number increased slowly, then all at once in one big jump. That is how exponential growth works. If you're looking at the initial growth and trying to extrapolate that out linearly, you're going to be way off.

It feels like everyone is so focused on Elon not solving everything in one week like he promised that they're missing the fact that it is actually working. The crops actually are starting to grow. How are people not seeing the progress of FSD 14.3.6, FSD 14 lite, and all the new cities Robotaxi is entering? Remember when driving a car with pure vision, without LIDAR or Radar, was supposed to be impossible?

That's the magic of Elon Musk. He takes what is supposed to be impossible — a reusable spaceship, generalized self-driving cars at scale — and makes what's supposed to be impossible feel like it's actually late. When he starts on a project, they say it can never be done. By the time he finishes, people are asking why they didn't finish it faster.

Say what you will, but the Tesla team is absolutely executing right now. They are killing it. I can't be the only one that sees the signs. Everything I've seen tells me that they are going to scale this. As they add more training compute, as the data set grows larger, as the fleet crosses 10 million cars, as they ship FSD 15 and their AI5 and AI6 chips, the cars are just going to keep getting smarter and smarter. The capabilities of these autonomous vehicles are already starting to cross into the realm of superhuman, and they're not stopping there.

If you want to point out every stumble, every missed deadline, every limitation in the current Robotaxi service, that's your prerogative. You have the right to say whatever you want. But I think that as we look back on this time, these people are going to look extremely dumb in hindsight. When autonomous vehicles blanket the globe, we'll ask how people didn't see it earlier as the service expanded into 7 markets.

This company has nearly 10 million cars on the road. More than 12 billion FSD miles have been driven around the globe. And international expansion is just starting.

This is the company that developed Cybercab to be as dead simple as possible. To not require any paint. They built a vehicle that can truly bring generalized autonomy to the masses around the world.

I can't believe how many people are unable to see it. Based on everything I'm seeing, I've never had more conviction that this technology is going to change the world.

AI is beginning to reach out of our computer and into the physical world, and Tesla has a central role to play in making that a reality.
