Trump’s Pearl Harbor quip conveys 3 powerful messages: • He is mentally fit, can “read the room” and can think on his feet. Few do this as well as Trump. World class. • Trump does not care about niceties, only results. Surprise attacks work. No apologies. • Japan and the US were once mortal enemies. Friendship is delicate and not to be taken lightly, tread carefully.

トランプ大統領の真珠湾攻撃発言(イラン攻撃は真珠湾同様にとの意)が米国内で批判されていますが(日本の助けを必要とするときに何煽ってんだ?等)、私たち日本人から言うと我が皇軍の戦術を米大統領に踏襲して頂き光栄なんですよね。

Democrat states have psychotic ex-girlfriend energy right now. California, New York and Illinois abused their best people with toxic, mean girl behavior. They thought we would never leave but taxpayers dumped ‘em cold Now they’re sliding into our DMs Lose our numbers, psycho

Luxembourg spends $0 on national defense, so they can afford all sorts of “free amenities.” If someone else defended the US, we would have free subways too. Ditto for Western Europe and Canada too. The term "Free-Riders" takes on a double meaning in this context.

Luxembourg is the world’s first nation to offer free public transport for all, tackling traffic and climate change in one bold move. Luxembourg has pioneered a bold new era in urban mobility by becoming the first nation on Earth to eliminate fares across its entire public transport network. This groundbreaking policy covers every bus, tram, and train route nationwide, offering free rides to residents, cross-border commuters, and visitors alike. Financed through general taxation rather than ticket sales, the initiative was designed to tackle the country's severe traffic congestion—once among the worst in Europe per capita—and to sharply cut carbon emissions from road transport. By removing the cost and hassle of tickets, Luxembourg effectively turned public transit into a basic public service, as essential and accessible as clean water or electricity. The impact has been profound and measurable. Ridership surged as people left their cars behind, leading to noticeably less road traffic, shorter commute times, and a meaningful drop in urban air pollution. While first-class rail options remain a paid upgrade for those wanting extra comfort, the standard second-class system is now truly seamless: hop on, hop off, no barriers. Luxembourg's experiment has demonstrated that removing financial obstacles can drive a genuine shift toward sustainable travel habits. It has also served as an inspiring model for other countries and cities grappling with sprawl, gridlock, and climate goals. In an age when radical solutions are needed to address the mobility-climate crisis, Luxembourg proves that treating public transport as a universal right is not only feasible—it can be genuinely transformative.

The main reason to study math is to deeply understand statistics and probability. I was always skeptical of that finding about black doctors. Speaking of fake stats, did you know that the average person has one testicle?
Steve Stewart-Williams@SteveStuWill

A famous study found that Black babies have higher survival rates if attended by Black than White doctors. But a re-analysis of the data shows the effect disappears after accounting for the fact that low birth weight babies more often see White doctors. [Link below.]

Yes, yes and more yes.

Ayn Rand understood something that most economists refuse to acknowledge: the moral case for capitalism isn't about efficiency or outcomes, but about human nature and individual rights. While Chicago School types fumbled around with utilitarian arguments and Keynes pushed his theft-based economics, Rand cut straight to the philosophical core. Her genius wasn't in economic theory per se, but in recognizing that economics flows from ethics. You cannot have sound economics built on the premise that some humans exist to serve others. The collectivist mindset that birthed central banking, progressive taxation, and the welfare state stems from the same moral rot: the idea that individual achievement is somehow a debt owed to society. Rand's critics—mostly government-funded academics and their useful idiots—love to attack her fictional characters while ignoring her central insight. Every economic intervention, from price controls to antitrust laws, rests on the premise that productive individuals have no right to the fruits of their labor. Every regulatory agency assumes bureaucrats know better than market participants how to allocate resources. But here's what drives the statists insane about Rand: she refused to apologize for success. While modern libertarians often accept the Left's moral framework and argue that free markets coincidentally help the poor, Rand said the quiet part out loud. Capitalism is moral because it rewards virtue—rationality, productivity, trade—and punishes vice. The Austrian School provides the economic framework, but Rand provided the moral foundation that makes resistance to state power philosophically coherent. Without that moral clarity, you end up with compromise, pragmatism, and eventually the acceptance of "necessary" government interventions that metastasize into the bloated surveillance states we inhabit today.

This is why I just hand people a Thomas Sowell quote and walk away. If it's meant to be, it will happen without me. Sowell does all the heavy lifting.

What blows my mind about these Nick Shirley videos is that what he does is ridiculously easy to do. You just Google "Hospice care" and visit the locations which pop up. Any journalist could do this 24/7/365. Why did we have to wait decades for a pimple-faced kid like @nickshirleyy to just get out there and start asking questions? Where are all the real journalists and why aren't they simply doing what he is doing en masse?

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP. We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

Sowell has been warning us about Iran since the early 2000’s. Took me awhile but I get it now.

I just finished Lionel Shriver’s new novel and I’m emotionally a wreck. Seeing mass migration in a fresh light. I only recommend this book if you are willing to ride an emotional roller coaster. I’m not but it’s too late for me now. Damn.

I’m all for a good laugh but this drift toward English becoming a minority language here in California is a problema muy grande which I find more than a tad troubling.
