@moonraker_yes @LibertyCappy Rome was a Republic and later a totalitarian empire; It was never a libertarian free-market.

@LibertyCappy yes and it never works, it becomes anarchy, sadly and allows criminals to rome free.

“Inflation is never an unavoidable natural disaster. It is always the result of the weakness or ignorance of those in charge of monetary policy.”

Progressive taxation punishes success and rewards failure. In the US, the top 10% already pay 70% of income taxes while the bottom 50% pay 3%. Yet politicians demand the "rich" pay their "fair share." They want to claim an even larger share of high earners' productivity.

You start reading weird books.
You buy “The Bitcoin Standard” and then “The Fiat Standard” and then you accidentally end up reading Murray Rothbard, and then somehow you’re reading Mises, and then it’s 11:47 PM on a Tuesday and you’re 340 pages into “Human Action” and you’re highlighting passages about praxeology and your wife comes downstairs and asks if you’re coming to bed and you say “in a minute” but you don’t come to bed for two hours because you have just discovered that everything you were taught about economics in college was wrong, all of it, every single sentence, and now you can’t go back, you can never go back, you have been orange-pilled in a way that goes deeper than money, you have been epistemologically orange-pilled, you now believe that John Maynard Keynes was a charlatan and the gold standard was actually fine and the income tax is theft and you can never say any of this out loud at a dinner party ever again.

Trump is now reportedly responsible for roughly 27.7% of the entire U.S. national debt accumulated under all presidents combined.
That is an astonishing figure historically.
The national debt just crossed $39 trillion.
President Trump has added roughly $12–13 trillion to the debt across his two terms in office.
That’s approximately 30% of ALL U.S. national debt accumulated since 1789.
In 2016, Trump said he would pay down the national debt “over a period of eight years.”
Instead:
- First term: +$7.8 trillion
- Second term: roughly +$4–5 trillion already
And yes, COVID affected first-term spending.
It does not explain adding another trillion dollars every five months without a pandemic.
A political movement built on:
“fiscal conservatism”
“small government”
“balanced budgets”
has now overseen the largest debt expansion tied to any single presidency in American history.

Thatcher understood that a nation must live within its means, just like a household. She’s never been forgiven for it.

Which religion teaches its children war and death?

While our kids are educated in history, math, and arts, these kids are training to kill. What can we expect when this culture invades our countries!?

@BasedMikeLee Coolidge and Harding should be top-tier. The worst were FDR and Wilson.
English
FDR dangerously undermined the Constitution by deliberately weakening the Constitution’s twin structural protections: federalism and separation of powers
Calling him the GOAT president is blasphemy
ThinkingWest@thinkingwest
The FDR worship needs to end. Putting him over Washington? Criminal behavior

You can't even escape the DIEversity of "Modern England" by having a day at the beach.
Muslims film themselves setting fireworks off at families at the coast, all whilst screaming "allahu akbar".

University-educated liberals will see a video like this and be like, "Wow, such a vibrant culture. We should import ten million of these people right now. Imagine the street food!"

It's just your typical, good-old-fashioned sock-hop, like they had in the 50s...but with a 2020s feel.

#IsraelLobby owns this White House.
The Hormuz Letter@HormuzLetter
BREAKING: Two sources close to Trump's negotiation team say Trump is now completely backing away from the US-Iran deal, under "extreme internal pressure from Israel and its US domestic allies," urging him not to accept Iran‘s terms. After this, Trump posted an image of Mark 84 bomb on a fighter jet, with his signature "Thank you for your attention to this matter" catchphrase stenciled directly on the bomb, on Truth Social. Iran earlier warned already that the agreement "will be completely cancelled" due to ongoing US obstruction on key clauses. The deal that never existed is now publicly collapsing.
