Hey Mayor Mamdani: We found out the best way to tax the rich: Cut off taxpayer subsidies for rich people's hobbies, so then they'll pay for them themselves.

@EsotericCD Defunding NPR was a win/win proposition for our side. Either: a) it would wither and die, proving that it was nothing but a government-funded operation, or b) private dontaions would keep it afloat, proving it didn't need government funding at all

I'm not not trolling and this is not a bit: How utterly appalling was it, that these people screamed for decades that they needed all of America to subsidize their one-party propaganda, when liberal billionaires were always going to step up once the bluff was called?

It's almost Earth Day. A day when climate zealots will scare people, yelling things like: Cities will be underwater! Polar bears are going extinct! Famine will ravage humanity! Don’t panic. These claims aren't true. Our video separates fact from fiction:

I'm split between whether "not all heroes wear capes" or "real men of genius" is the better moniker.

1/ Why is housing so expensive, and what can we actually do about it? On the latest episode of @ActonInstitute 's Acton Line, I sit down with @aier 's to cut through the noise and anxiety surrounding the American housing market. 🧵

Nothing is stopping this psychopath from turning his entire fortune over to the govt. He doesn’t need higher tax rates to do so. Instead he’s turning it over to TV stations & political consultants while lecturing everyone else to pay more.

Here it comes

@THErealDVORAK I think I remember this X-Fikes episode.

Artifacts ruin the credibility.

@weathermankeith @NWSSPC I'm watching the light show.

NEW (8:35 P.M.): @NWSSPC is eyeing our area for a Watch, likely Tornado Watch. Stay tuned!

@Variety Does he have fat hands and dance?

@bsteffen I'm enjoying the light show.

Here's radar...storm formed fairly rapidly over Ottawa Co. Frequent lighting SW-N at my house in Alpine township. I'm a little surprised no meso (or watch) from SPC.

@PeachProof23 Too many schools are basically daycare centers already. That's what they'll continue to be with screens doing most of the babysitting.

We are witnessing the quiet collapse of the American education system in real-time, and almost nobody is talking about the endgame. 📉 ​I just went down a rabbit hole of "teacher crash out" videos, and it’s haunting. We aren’t just losing "staff"—we are losing the heart of our communities. From being blamed for every student outburst to managing 30+ tiny humans with zero administrative support, the math simply doesn't add up anymore. ​During 2020, they were called heroes. In 2026, they are being treated like replaceable cogs in a broken machine. ​The scary part? When the last certified teacher walks out that door, what happens to your kids? We are heading toward a "zombie apocalypse" in the classroom where nobody is left to lead. ​This isn't just a "workplace issue." This is a national emergency. ​If you’re a teacher: What was your breaking point? If you’re a parent: Are you seeing the shift?

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Newly-released surveillance video shows a high school principal in Oklahoma TACKLING a school shooter before he could open fire on kids What a HERO! Principal Kirk Moore RUSHED the shooter when he aimed at his first would-be victim, wresting the gun away from him. Give this man an award. Absolute legend. The attempted shooter at Pauls Valley High School is now being held on a $1 million bond.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn gave the most controversial speech *against* Western Civilization at Harvard in 1978. As a survivor of the Russian Gulags, they expected him to praise the West. Instead, he made a jarring accusation: The West is a dying civilization. If it doesn't change its ways, it is doomed to collapse. In fact, he said this has been the case for 500 years, when the West made a crucial mistake: "How did the West decline from its triumphal march to its present debility? ...the mistake must be at the root, at the very foundation of thought in modern times. I refer to the prevailing Western view of the world which was born in the Renaissance… I refer to humanism — the proclaimed autonomy of man from any higher force above him." Solzhenitsyn said humanism made man autonomous from God, Truth, and objective morality. If all morality is subjective, then man has nothing to live nor die for. Naturally, he loses his courage, embraces materialism, and grows effeminate to modern evils. So, what is the solution? A return to belief in a transcendental morality under God: "If, as claimed by humanism, man were born only to be happy, he would not be born to die. Since his body is doomed to death, his task on earth evidently must be more spiritual… The fulfillment of a permanent, earnest duty so that one’s life journey may become above all an experience of moral growth: to leave life a better human being than one started it." All cultures live, or die, based on their respect of the True, Good, and Beautiful. To save the West, Solzhenitsyn says start with beautifying your soul, for that is both how you live well, and begin to make civilization itself beautiful again.
