“If you ask me to name the proudest distinction of Americans, I would choose–because it contains all the others–the fact that they were the people who created the phrase ‘to make money.’ No other language or nation had ever used these words before; men had always thought of wealth as a static quantity–to be seized, begged, inherited, shared, looted or obtained as a favor. Americans were the first to understand that wealth has to be created. The words ‘to make money’ hold the essence of human morality." - Francisco d'Anconia

The "wrong place" was Chicago, Illinois. The "wrong time" was while Democrats were in charge of law and order.
Gina Milan@ginamilan_

Imagine blaming an 18-year-old girl for being shot in the head while walking with her friends near her college. She wasn’t in the wrong place at the wrong time. The only person who didn’t belong there was the illegal alien from Venezuela who never should’ve been in this country to begin with. And the media still finds a way to spin it. Absolutely vile.

Colorado power lines are dilapidated for the same reason CO roads and bridges are crumbling. The money meant to improve and maintain infrastructure is instead being wasted on fantasy projects hoping to rewrite reality. The inmates are running the proverbial asylum.

Turning off Grandma's power every time the wind blows is unacceptable -- but it's become the "new norm" in #Colorado ever since "green energy" advocates began monkey-wrenching a formerly reliable grid: completecolorado.com/2026/03/18/the… Coloradans are being socially conditioned to accept a costly but unreliable green grid, argues @i2idotorg's John Caldara. #copolitics #coleg #greengridfailures @GovofCO

@RaysPlectrum @SeanPaige @angrydannyboy For the same reason CO roads and bridges are crumbling. The money meant to improve and maintain infrastructure is instead being wasted on any kind of generation except what's proven to work, reliably and economically. The inmates are running the proverbial asylum.

I partially agree. I think XCEL got sued after a big fire and doesn’t want to get sued again if the wind forecast is wrong or a tree branch falls into a power line and starts a fire. We’re a little sister of CA but there’s a lot percolating. The other point is infrastructure. The CO distribution system is 1958 era design in a lot of places. Why?

The world should hear the truth about the Islamic Republic. Why are they protected from exposure? It's almost like, daresay, the Third Reich. "Why did nobody tell us?" Some are trying. Thank you @AlinejadMasih .
Masih Alinejad 🏳️@AlinejadMasih

Before some analysts in the West rush to rebrand him as a “moderate” or a “pragmatist,” it is important to establish who Esmail Khatib actually was. I speak not as an observer, but as someone who has been arrested and interrogated by Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and who has spent years documenting the testimonies of families whose loved ones were detained, tortured, or killed by this same institution. Khatib served as Islamic Republic of Iran’s Minister of Intelligence, an agency that has long been at the center of the state’s internal security apparatus. Human rights organizations have repeatedly documented its role in arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, coerced confessions, and the suppression of peaceful dissent. During his tenure, nationwide protests, particularly the “Women, Life, Freedom” movement, were met with mass arrests and mass killings. More than 700 unarmed people were killed including teenagers Nika and Sarina. 💔The Ministry of Intelligence played a key role in identifying protesters, targeting activists, and pressuring families into silence. Yes, he was the one who ordered the arrest of the mothers of those who were killed. Some of these mothers told me how they were humiliated and interrogated by the Ministry of Intelligence simply for mourning their children. He put the fathers of those who were executed in prison for the “crime” of speaking out and demanding justice. Ask any Iranian who has dared to raise their voice for freedom about him and his ministry. They will tell you how much we have suffered. And this is not just inside Iran. Five individuals are currently in prison in the United States for plotting to kill me on the orders of the same intelligence apparatus. So no, there is no moderation here. There is no reform. He was part of a system that expanded terror beyond Iran’s borders and crushed its own people at home. Removing terrorists is not a tragedy. It’s a sign of justice or for their victims.

@Inquisition1776 @MattMorseTV Furthermore, ANY supply Iran provides, to ANY buyer, lowers the global oil price. The first to cry "Uncle" will be China and India, not the US or Israel. And supplying them keeps prices lower everywhere.

Matt, the sequential retreats are the story. Total closure. Then yuan passage. Then everyone except the US and Israel. Each position weaker than the last. Iran is negotiating with itself in public while an international naval coalition assembles outside the door. That is not leverage. That is a slow surrender.

The Iranian regime is just completely imploding right now. First, they said that the Strait of Hormuz is closed - for EVERYONE. Then, they opened it up for vessels willing to pay in Chinese Yuan instead of the U.S. dollar. And now, they're saying that everyone can go through except for the USA and Israel. Meanwhile, Trump has put together an international coalition of battleships to go blast the Strait open. Iran blinked. Won't be long before this 'war' is over.

@aki_being @RockChartrand @SarasvuoJari Interest is what allows the middle class to even exist. Without it there would be gentry and peasants. With it, millions of people can live in homes they don't own, but then own them when they reach retirement age. What is "very much bad" about that?

@RockChartrand @SarasvuoJari True but interest is absolutely very much a bad thing there’s a reason so many Jewish people do well financially and they do not charge interest from each other as the Old Testament explicitly forbids usury

Rent, profit, and interest aren’t theft. They come from voluntary agreements involving property, risk, capital, and time. Pretending only physical labor creates value is childish economics. And if your rule were true, the first thing it would condemn is welfare, because that actually takes money from someone else’s labor by force. So the slogan doesn’t expose anything profound. It just exposes how little thought went into the premise.

Political choices have choked the Colorado energy industry, but there are commonsense ways to reverse this. I visited Fort St. Vrain Generating Station with @RepGabeEvans to discuss how the Trump administration is delivering more affordable, reliable and secure American energy.

On this relatively tree-less street, there are three residents at one house registered to vote in Colorado. Two are males, both with the same last name and year of birth. One has a first name of ADAN (registered in 2020) and the other ADAM (registered in 2021). There is also a female resident with a similar birth year and same last name. The males may be twins with cruel parents and one or both may be married to the other resident OR Colorado's automatic voter registration process has screwed up yet again. (Only one of the males has been voting since 2022 so likely the latter.)

Two individuals at this house have the same first & last name and same year of birth on the Colorado voter roll. Originally registered to vote in 2018, automatic voter registration added a duplicate registration in 2024 when the individual (likely) included a middle name, extra last name and checked a different gender box on some state government form. (Despite getting two ballots, they only voted once in 2024.)

After he rescues the once proud people, impoverished by decades of wealth destruction by communist ideologues in the local government of Cuba, I hope President Trump tries to save Californians next.

I understand criticizing your own country when it deserves it. That’s healthy. What I don’t understand is pretending that because your country has problems, a regime with the more and worse problems multiplied a hundredfold suddenly becomes morally superior. Communists routinely hold free societies to impossible standards while applying none at all to authoritarian regimes. It exposes something important. They know the difference between good and evil, but they just keep desperately searching for excuses to side with the worse one.

I won't argue over a quote from a philosopher deductively applied to an issue given the false factual assumptions underlying the use of the quote. I'll be more direct than my prior post because too many armchair constitutional lawyers are making false claims about what the Constitution requires or doesn't require. The Constitution doesn't require *pre-approval* by Congress before the use of military forces by the President. You will search in vain in the Constitution for this non-existent limitation of an express mandate of prior authorization by Congress before deployment of military forces. In fact, the Founders' own actions in the executive and legislative branches after 1790 make clear the Constitution does not mandate a pre-approval requirement. Here's just two examples of innumerable examples: President Washington did not seek prior congressional approval before deploying military forces to put down the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794 (he claimed authorization under a prior general statue). President Jefferson did not seek or obtain pre-approval before deploying the U.S. Navy in 1801 against the Barbara pirates in extended warfare in response to declaration of war by Tripoli. A year later in 1802, Congress legislatively approved the ongoing military operation, and the First Barbary War lasted for four years (1801-1805). What makes the use of armed forces a "war" versus a "military operation" is defined by purpose and context. One cannot simply deduce from a generalized quote by a philosopher that President Trump, or President Washington or President Jefferson, are violating the Constitution in acting on "whim" in deploying military force in defense of American lives and American interests without pre-approval by Congress for this use of force. The starting point for these analyses is in fact the Constitution, not an Ayn Rand quote, and it's beyond clear that the plain text of the Constitution that empowers Congress to declare war among its other delegated powers in Article 1, Section 8 (including the power to secure parents and copyrights), does not require pre-approval from Congress before the President uses military force. After this, it's a contextual assessment of the facts of the deployment of force, e.g., nature of the attacks on the U.S., the duration of the attacks, a declaration of war by the attacking country, etc., etc., etc., etc.

If only all the pundits were around in December 1941 to oppose going to war with Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany because the U.S. had no plan in place about what came next after their unconditional surrender, and literally no actual plan of how to fight the war. A total failure!

@SamanthaTaghoy @SonofLiberty357 Freedom for Iranians and especially for Iranian women.
JyotiKarma🚩🇮🇳@JyotiKarma7

Interesting perspective on why Iranians are celebrating Ayatulla's death; Iranians are originally Zororastrians, and they're not Muslims. So, forcing an oppressive ideology on a peaceful community is definitely wrong Many fled Iran due to this & now they seek freedom from a terrorrist regime As simple as it seems!
