Milton Friedman: “Economists don’t know much, but there’s one thing we know very, very well—and that’s how to produce shortages.” “You want a shortage of housing in New York City? Set a maximum price on rent, and you will have a shortage of housing.”

Hey. If you’re a middle class American you’re in the top ten percent of wealth globally. By the crap logic of socialists… 90% of the world has less than you, so let’s steal it… Socialists are the worst people in the world.

The envy side of socialism. Its not an error in grasping economics. It's hatred of the rich, which is hatred of productivity. You cant fix it by teaching economics. You can only address it by defending individual rights, which are not forfeit no matter how much you produce.

The CCC's claim that Britain must spend £11 billion a year adapting to 4°C of warming rests on a scenario the IPCC has just declared "implausible". Heads should roll at the Met Office, says Chris Morrison. dailysceptic.org/2026/05/25/uk-…

DESENMASCARANDO LA MENTIRA KEYNESIANA @JMilei "Cada vez que Uds se encuentren con un político bien corrupto, bien ladrón y bien basura, siempre tiene atrás un keynesiano dándole letra, porque son los grandes vendedores de humo. El derroche es una virtud en Keynes; y cuando ya no les alcanza lo financian con emisión monetaria. Si emiten por arriba de la demanda van a generar inflación".

Much of left wing politics requires you not to understand how it would work in practice so you can maintain support in principle. If you understood how it worked you'd have to abandon the idea.

"Ten better tax cuts than Reform’s £14bn overtime gimmick" 👍 Another good takedown of Reform's tax break for overtime (hat tip @DanNeidle)... taxpolicy.org.uk/2026/05/25/ref…

"There are barely any Marxists in academia!" "Well that survey's wrong! You can't name any!" "3-4 of the names on that list died in the last year. Your entire list is invalid!" "Professor so-and-so on that new list isn't a Marxist! Your list is invalid!" "So what? That's just one name. You only have 200 Marxists out of 1.5 million professors" "Well that doesn't prove that they're teaching Marxism in the classroom!" "Those books are classics, so it's good they're being taught! But it doesn't mean they're being proselytized as Marxist activism" "Well, none of those fields are orthodox Marxism so they don't count!" And the seasons they go round and round...

“In a free society, people can believe whatever they want. If you want to believe men can be women or you’re a man who wants to call himself a woman, that is your business. What you cannot do in a free society is force anyone else to accept it. What is at stake here is the ability to lawfully acknowledge reality. If you care so much about “trans rights” you can work out a way to get them without destroying the category of women in law, female spaces, sport, services, the entire reality of lesbianism, and punishing citizens for acknowledging reality. The fact that you haven’t even tried makes it appear that destroying the rights of women is the goal. Any politician who will look an Australian citizen in the eye and tell them that a man can be a woman is admitting that they will lie about anything and everything because the most obvious lie has already been told. If no one in this room can acknowledge reality and fix an obvious problem you are either malicious or incompetent. The days of dismissing this issue are over. This is not a culture war. It’s reality.” - my words, read by Alison Penfold MP, in parliament today. Contact politicians are tell them to BACK THE BILL - “Sex Discrimination Amendment- sex based rights bill 2026”

A reminder of some important polling here... 👇 Britons - young and old - want the UK to be sovereign in 2️⃣0️⃣ policy areas, every one of them incompatible with EU membership... 🤔 #brexitbenefits

@historigins Clinton’s balanced budget came about because of Newt Gingrich’s Congress, not Bill Clinton.

In 1998, the United States achieved its first federal budget surplus in 29 years, effectively ending a streak of deficits that had lasted since 1969. ⁠ ⁠ This milestone was achieved under President Bill Clinton, following the passage of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, which resulted in a fiscal surplus of approximately $69 billion for that year.⁠ ⁠

No we aren't. It's okay to love your country. You've been demoralized by Communist and Islamist operations and don't have to keep living that way.

Less than 24 hours after Hamas’ October 7 Massacre, the genocide placards were already printed. The rest is commentary.

Jeff Bezos: "If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, packages would take 6 weeks to arrive, we would charge you a $100 delivery fee and when the package did finally arrive, it would have the wrong item in it."

Jews being called baby-killers. Jewish girls having their hair yanked by violent mobs. Jews being accused of zoophilic sadism. Isn’t it amazing how much ‘criticism of Israel’ sounds like medieval Jew-hatred?, says Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/ay5k4yG

It’s strange how many progressives talk as though the US has implemented some sort of radical austerity program since FDR

You're much more of a slave to the 1% that commit 50% of crimes than you are to the 1% that create 40% of the wealth.

Leftism was always a pseudo radical movement. They don’t want to smash the system and eat the rich. They want to control the system and become the rich.

The BBC and Sky News wrote dozens of articles about Ben Gvir’s video with the flotilla activists. Those same outlets wrote zero articles about what happened at the airports in Spain, Greece, and New York. Weird.
