They're still not listening 😂

The West is suffering because people are pretending that obviously true things are not obvious and true. Common sense and objective facts were sacrificed for politically correct fluff and emotionality, and now the populations are bearing the consequences.

It's another Python sketch

Stupidity is knowing the truth, seeing the truth but still believing the lies. And that is more infectious than any other disease. —Professor Richard Feynman

All the socialists retards are coming out to condemn what is happening in Venezuela, while all the Venezuelans are celebrating. The people who want us to turn into a socialist hell hole don't even know the reality inside Venezuela, while the Venezuelans will tell you don't try this shit. As someone who went there a few years to make a documentary, the devastation is no joke. It used to be the richest country in South America and what Chavez started and Maduro continued should be a HUGE warning to all of us. I saw families living on the street in Cucuta, a Colombian border town, doing anything to earn money to send home. Violent gangs controlled the import of goods into the country. Millions have fled the failed to state because they wanted to eat, with border countries absorbing them. I met successful people who fled the country when their life savings were wiped out through hyperinflation. Election after election has been stolen, politicians jailed and forded into exile. Journalists harassed, forced into exile too and murdered. Protestors shot at by the military. While Mauduro and his good gorged on steak, the people went hungry. We visited charities trying to feed hungry kids and mothers. We met pro-Maduro protestors sent onto the street in return for a basic basket of food (the same dependency we create here in the West with welfare). Friends had their businesses harassed, property stolen by the state and forced to escape or face prison. It is the natural end state for socialists - attacks on freedom, collapsed economy, hungry people, no free press, no free elections and violence from the state. It is the only way these socialists keep their bullshit alive. I am not here to argue the intentions of Trump, I imagine pretty much every Venezuelan would do an oil deal for freedom. All you socialists are really just dumb fucks and have never seen it up close. If you did, you wouldn't be a socialist.

Give this a read.

“We don’t have a natural right to take the property of one person to give to another; therefore, we cannot legitimately delegate such authority to government.” — Walter E. Williams

We don’t want to be part of your dystopian vision of speech and thought control.

My recent trip to Brussels for the @NATO Ministerial meeting left me with one overriding impression: the US has long failed to address the glaring inconsistency between its relations with NATO and the EU. These are almost all the same countries in both organizations. When these countries wear their NATO hats, they insist that Transatlantic cooperation is the cornerstone of our mutual security. But when these countries wear their EU hats, they pursue all sorts of agendas that are often utterly adverse to US interests and security—including censorship, economic suicide/climate fanaticism, open borders, disdain for national sovereignty/promotion of multilateral governance and taxation, support for Communist Cuba, etc etc. This inconsistency cannot continue. Either the great nations of Europe are our partners in protecting the Western civilization that we inherited from them or they are not. But we cannot pretend that we are partners while those nations allow the EU’s unelected, undemocratic, and unrepresentative bureaucracy in Brussels to pursue policies of civilizational suicide.

Had another complaint. Someone emailed us saying that this billboard upset them because they themselves didn’t like dogs. We emailed back “well you know what to do then” 😂

I have a surreal update: after working in the Democratic Party for most of my professional life, I’ve written a book, forthcoming from Simon and Schuster It’s called Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative and it’s the most honest thing I’ve ever put to paper. A story of idealism, disillusionment, and whatever comes after you realize the institution you believed in has drifted far from the people it was supposed to serve From the out-of-touch activists to the donor world and strategists who shape everything behind the scenes, I’m going to pull back the curtain and show exactly how the Democrats lost regular Americans Nothing Left comes out July 7, 2026 and is available for pre-order now

There ought to be ZERO people still believing the lie that legacy media pursues truth. The only reason some people remain under its spell is the media’s use of two powerful tools: strategic omission of key information, and reliance on the intellectual laziness of their audience.

Grokipedia enrages Wikipedia editors. Because Grokipedia does not need authors, and certainly does not need editors. They are out of a job, realizing their high priesthood of truth control is forever gone. They are replaced as of yesterday. It does not even really need contributors. As new events unfold, they will be integrated automatically. The past, already encoded and uploaded as the sum of human knowledge to date. Powered by Grok, who is now the world’s historian, watching and documenting its creators.

Wikipedia, in light of a strong launch from Grokipedia, you’d better get your house in order—or you’ll go the way of the Sears catalog. Are you listening yet? LarrySanger.org/nine-theses

WHY GROKIPEDIA IS MAKING THE MEDIA MELTDOWN - AND WHY THAT’S A GOOD THING The legacy media is melting down over a digital encyclopedia. Not a government scandal. Not a war. A website. It’s called Grokipedia, Elon's AI-powered alternative to Wikipedia, and it has already done the unthinkable: challenged the establishment’s control over online “truth.” Launched in beta as version 0.1, Grokipedia already has more than 885,000 entries, and that’s just the start. Musk says version 1.0 is coming soon and promises it will be “ten times better”. Better than what? According to Musk: better than Wikipedia itself. And if you look at how both sites handle controversial topics, he might be right. Wikipedia is run by volunteers, but let’s not kid ourselves, ideological gatekeeping is baked into its DNA. From politics to culture to science, pages are shaped by editors who lean overwhelmingly left. Anyone who’s ever tried to update a conservative viewpoint knows what happens: instant reversion, flags, bans, and “consensus.” It’s not “the wisdom of the crowd.” It’s the orthodoxy of a very specific crowd. Grokipedia’s arrival struck a nerve because it breaks that consensus. It doesn’t just rewrite articles, it reframes narratives. The BLM entry? It notes the movement’s scale, but also includes the violence, property damage, and 25 deaths linked to the 2020 riots. Wikipedia barely mentions that. The Tucker Carlson page? It calls out the systemic media bias he exposed, citing actual reporting, something Wikipedia refuses to do without filtering it through their editorial “neutrality” filter. Even the entry on Elon Musk pulls no punches. It praises his impact, while noting the relentless attacks from left-leaning media. Shocking, right? This isn’t about articles, it’s about power. Wikipedia has held a near-monopoly over online reference knowledge since 2001. Now, an AI-driven, open-access rival shows up and suddenly every blue-check pundit is in DEFCON 1 mode. The panic isn’t about errors. It’s about losing control over the narrative. Grokipedia lets people see different angles, uncensored, and that alone makes it dangerous to the establishment. Truth Doesn’t Need a Gatekeeper Grokipedia isn’t perfect. No source is. But it offers something we haven’t had in a long time: real competition in the knowledge economy. And that’s exactly why it’s driving Wikipedia’s defenders, and their media allies, absolutely mad. If your version of “truth” can’t stand up to a free marketplace of ideas, maybe it was never the truth to begin with. Source: @elonmusk
