What you’ll read here sounds insane. That’s because the West lost common sense and we’re here to bring it back.

@BGatesIsaPyscho It was debunked, she stole from a store.

This is what the Left has become. Not workers' rights, not the poor. It's just Third-Worldism.
They don't want to improve your life, they gain power to punish you and your country.
The Mayor of New York doesn't use a visit from the King of England to talk about his city. He uses it to demand a diamond be sent to the country of his parents.
I hope it's clear for everyone now.

I don't think people realize how bad France has become.
Homicides: 2x Italy's rate. Up +21% since 2017. Attempted homicides: up +82%.
Rapes: up +171%.
Terrorism: more victims per capita than any country in Western Europe.

Mamdani: “New York City faces a budget crisis of historic magnitude. We face the largest deficit since the Great Recession. We need new revenue.”
Also Mamdani:
- Free buses for everyone ($800M/year)
- A public supermarket, 10x more expensive than an Aldi
- $1.9B no-bid hotel contract for the homeless
- $1.2B for asylum seekers
- $82,000 per homeless person per year
- A TikTok attacking a billionaire that may cost New York 21,000 jobs
- The biggest budget in NYC history. Bigger than Florida’s entire state.

@FrDesouche Idée révolutionnaire pour les politiciens européens : il est possible de ne pas laisser entrer les gens.

We built rights to protect the innocent from tyranny. Terrorists, their lawyers, and NGOs used them to destroy the West.
The UK let a bomb plotter live freely in the country. Canada let a soldier-stabber fly to Mecca and Somalia for an arranged wedding. A court is now fining France for making a mass murderer uncomfortable.
You can't make this up.

@jake1488x @avidseries Well there will be fewer buyers. Maybe they hit the sweet spot where projects still get built but I doubt it knowing these two…
English

@BasicOptimism @avidseries Eh there will be buyers but they need to be nyc residents, let’s focus on policies that prioritize locals for housing
English

The tax would affect only homes that are worth more than $5 million and are not being used as the primary residence of the owner.
It would raise about $500 million annually to help close the city's budget gap.
Seems like a good idea.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
English

@TruthHurts2223 @Fat_Electrician You're missing the supply part: these buyers are often what makes new construction financially viable.
Fewer of them means fewer projects get built, which reduces supply further and pushes prices up, not down.
English

@Fat_Electrician Good hopefully they sell those second homes, freeing them up for people to move into, freeing up more rentals in the cities.
English

Hey, we’ve got ultra-wealthy people paying property taxes on multimillion-dollar vacation homes, living here maybe 3 weeks a year, and dumping a ton of money into the local economy while barely using any government services.
So overall, they put way more into the system than they take out.
Let’s tax them extra so they stop.
Brilliant.
CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism
🚨HUGE! In a stunning win for his tax the rich plan, Mayor Zohran Mamdani just reached a deal with Governor Kathy Hochul tax second homes valued over $5 million owned by out-of-state residents. The taxes will generate $500 million annually for the state. This is amazing.
English

@BasicOptimism Beautifully put.
Glad to see you’re on X too. People here need your common sense.

@gummibear737 It's more an example that they don't.
Sanchez arrived second in the elections, managed to get power by doing an amnesty for independentists and terrorists, and now has a minority government that can't pass any law in the congress.

If you want to understand why Pedro Sánchez needs to go hard on Trump and Israel…
