I really cannot take people who support socialism seriously. Can you?
Michael A. Arouet@MichaelAArouet
The implementation of free market and capitalism in Eastern Europe made them not only much wealthier, but also significantly improved life expectancy. The only people in favor of socialism are those who have never experienced socialist misery by themselves. Donโt listen to them.

@elonmusk When the key difference between mRNA and modRNA is that modRNA doesn't break down, I would say that is understatement!

The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times.
I had the original Wuhan virus before there was any vaccine and it was much like any other cold/flu. Bad, but not terrible.
But my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying.

This should be headline news EVERYWHERE. A Pfizer insider who was former head of toxicology in Europe has just come out and said something that many "conspiracy theorists" suspected. He estimates that 20 000 to 60 000 people in Germany have died from the c*vid vaccine. This was said at a parliamentary enquiry commission in Germany. So why isn't this massive news being reported everywhere? Is the mainstream media that has recieved millions in funding from Bill Gates deliberately covering this up... ๐ค

@DeanAbbott The main character does his best to do right in an environment that is tarnished. Sometimes he bends the rules, but not his principles. It was unfortunately not continued past one season. I was not the only disappointed viewer.

@TheBrancaShow It is definitely about China, but that doesn't mean it isn't about other things, too.

This is the correct answer.
It's only about China. It has ALWAYS only been about China.

The war in Iran is about China's oil supply, for anyone who is wondering.

@MarioNawfal I think it is likely that they can tie in a persons heartbeat as a confirmation signature to the existing locator technology, to be sure that the person they want to rescue is still alive, but as to what you are describing ... I have my doubts.

๐บ๐ธ The CIAโs new secret weapon, Ghost Murmur, changed the game.
It uses quantum sensors made from synthetic diamonds + AI to lock onto a single personโs heartbeat from up to 40 miles away.
Are they buried deep in a cave? Or a mountain?
It doesn't matter. It'll find you.
No radio signal. No heat signature. No escape.
It was first used in April 2026 to find a downed U.S. airman in Iran when everything else failed.
If your heart is beatingโฆ they will find you.
Friend or foe.
Insane leap in surveillance tech. The caves arenโt safe anymore.

๐ฎ๐ท What about the mines among the Strait of Hormuz? Drifting mines, moored mines, bottom mines that sense ships by magnet and sound, Tehran has dusted off its old playbook from the 1980s and scattered a few dozen of them in one of the worldโs most vital oil arteries. Now 2 U.S. destroyers are out there trying to clear the mess while diplomats in Islamabad pretend theyโre close to a deal. Whatโs really happening is brutally simple: Iran is trying to make the price of passage so high that the world pressures U.S. to back off. The U.S. response is equally direct; they wonโt negotiate under floating bombs. This is a raw contest over who actually controls the flow of global energy in 2026. The side that wins the Strait wins the leverage. Source: CNN

Short of using nukes, the ultimate deterrent weapon of the Islamic Republic was the threat to close the Straits of Hormuz. They have exercised their doomsday option and now it transpires they have no map of the minefield.
Though it caused economic hardship especially in Europe and Asia, the IR's ultimate weapon failed to bring down the world, could not prevent the destruction of its arsenal nor bring the Gulf states down to its knees.
If the US Navy clears the Straits, and as is probable, the Islamic Republic comes to terms, the path may be clear for the revival of Lebanon, the full re-opening of the Red Sea and relative peace in Southwest Asia and the Levant.

@christopherrufo This is in the ballpark of the "one-time" billionaire asset tax. Getting rid of fraud would eliminate the need for this ridiculous tax.
English
EXCLUSIVE: Multiple senior HHS officials estimate that, under Gavin Newsom, California's state Medicaid program has lost 25 percent of its budget to fraud. This would mean it is currently losing $50 billion a year to scammers, fraudsters, and organized crime rings.

Food for thought.
In The Prince, Machiavelli teaches that a rulerโs first duty is to secure the state, even if that means speaking and acting in ways that shock polite society. He warns that โmen in general judge more from appearances than from reality,โ and that a successful prince must be judged on the effects of his words, not on whether they conform to genteel norms. Trumpโs recent language toward the Iranian regime is not a lapse of selfโcontrol; it is a calculated act of deterrence aimed squarely at the leaders of a stateโsponsored terrorist apparatus.
He is negotiating through intimidation, signalling resolve, ruthlessness, and a willingness either to send Iran โback to the Stone Agesโ or to ensure that โa whole civilization will die tonightโ in terms that pierce the bubble of diplomatic euphemism and force the IRGC command to reassess its risk tolerance. In that sense, Trump is acting far closer to Machiavelliโs prince than to a modern liberal statesman: he is willing to appear vulgar, even โunhinged,โ if doing so strengthens the fear of his threats in the minds of his adversaries.
What is striking is not that a leader dealing with such a regime would use this language, but that so many in the West seem genuinely unable, or unwilling, to recognize the strategy.
They clutch their pearls about tone while ignoring the basic logic of coercive diplomacy: when you want to stop a hostile regime and its terrorist proxies from further escalation, you must shape their expectations, not placate your own commentariat.
Machiavelliโs blunt counsel is that a prince must sometimes speak as both โman and beast,โ combining law with the language of force to protect his people. One is left wondering whether our political and media classes have forgotten the oldest lessons of statecraft. Has no one read The Prince?

The plight of Indigenous Women in Canada is such a perfect example of how modern Leftist thought has no ability to think past 1st order effects and why its all about feeling virtuous over actually solving problems.
We often hear about "murdered and missing indigenous women" and how they get killed at much higher rates than other Canadians, and that these women rarely get justice. The subtext is always that, somehow, the reason for this injustice is some mix of "colonization", "the patriarchy " or "white supremacy". We often hear how bad society is because of this, and how we need to "do better", "check our privilege", and that this is somehow a failing of all of society.
Now at the same time, there has long been a push to address indigenous overrepresenation in prisons, and the solution the Leftists have landed on is the Gladue Rule becoming embedded in the justice system, which requires the court to consider the effects of residential schooling, racism and other factors when deciding sentencing on indigenous ppl found guilty of crimes. In theory, this could be considered an admirable attempt. In practice, what it means is simply that indigenous ppl who commit crimes will almost always be sentenced to significantly less time than anyone else.
But heres the kicker; between 70-80% of murdered and missing indigenous women are killed by Indigenous men. And then these men are giving ridiculously light sentencing BECAUSE they're indigenous, denying the victims justice. The Crown in this story asked for 16 years for this man shooting his wife in her sleep. He was given 6 years, he'll serve 3.
So the injustice against Indigenous women is in large part CAUSED by Leftist attempt to address it. Its a classic example of modern Leftism being so far up their own asses they're pontificating to the rest of society about a problem that THEY THEMSELVES are causing.
Modern Leftism is not capable of solving actual social problems, it's simply a way for privileged bourgeoisie white liberals to virtue signal about their moral goodness at cocktail parties while the marginalized ppl they claim to champion continue to bear the brunt of their shallow and superficial political activism.
