Jonathan Galt - WINNING !

If you’re keeping track, Democrats are - running a candidate for Senate with a literal Nazi tattoo, - funding the KKK through the SPLC, - and fighting for racially segregated congressional districts. But Republicans are the racists.

@mirandadevine So much wrongness for such a short video!

Seriously, dog is smarter than the handler.

@elonmusk They is!?!? DAAAAANG. They be realistic!

Dear Senator Sanders, Oh, this is RICH. This is so perfectly, exquisitely, weapons-grade rich that I had to put down my anatomy exams and just... appreciate it for a moment. The man who got thrown out of a SOCIALIST HIPPIE COMMUNE in Vermont in 1971 — after THREE DAYS — for refusing to do any actual work while everyone else planted, harvested, and hauled water, is out here telling me the OLIGARCHS want to control everything. Three. Days. The communists gave you a longer trial period than most employers give to someone who steals from the register. Here is what Jim Quinn's Law Number Two says, and I want every single person reading this to tattoo it somewhere useful: "If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing." Senator, you OWN THREE HOMES. A Burlington residence. A D.C. townhouse. A $575,000 vacation lake house in North Hero, Vermont — purchased in 2016, the same year you were touring the country telling college students the system is rigged. Your net worth sits somewhere between $2.5 and $3 million. You have pocketed over $2.5 MILLION in book royalties since 2011. That elevator is clearly not stuck between floors for you, is it. And then — THEN — during your "Fighting Oligarchy Tour" with AOC, you spent over $550,000 in CAMPAIGN FUNDS on PRIVATE JET TRAVEL. Half a million dollars on luxury jets to lecture working Americans about the dangers of wealth. When Fox News caught you boarding a Bombardier Challenger 604 — a jet that runs up to $15,000 PER HOUR — you did not apologize. You did not even blink. You looked directly into the camera and said, and I am quoting this verbatim because it is the most accidentally honest thing you have ever said: "You think I'm gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United?" Senator. THAT IS OLIGARCHIC THINKING. That is TEXTBOOK "the rules apply to you people, not to me." That is the elevator music of every single billionaire you have spent 35 years pretending to oppose. In a battle of wits with your own stated beliefs, you showed up completely unarmed. Thirty-five years in Congress. You know what your personal legislative output looks like? Eight bills passed. EIGHT. In three and a half DECADES. That works out to 0.23 bills per year. I have produced more graded anatomy exams in a single semester. Your two greatest solo legislative achievements — the ones with your name on top, the thing YOU actually DID — are the naming of a post office in Danville, Vermont, and the naming of a post office in Fair Haven, Vermont. You named. Two. Post offices. You are as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to actually passing legislation, but you want me to believe you are the vanguard of the working class. That sounds like a YOU problem. Quinn's Law #25: "Liberals are great at giving away other people's money." You have been living PROOF of that law for 35 years. You give away everyone else's money — from a vacation home on a lake — while spending half a million on jets because you are far too important to wait in line with the taxpayers funding your lifestyle. You want to talk about oligarchs controlling the media? You have been IN the media for four decades. You just finished a $75 million documentary. You have a book deal. You have a podcast. You HAVE the megaphone and you are using it to tell people that other people have the megaphone. The gene pool really needed a lifeguard for THAT particular reasoning. I am a high school science teacher in Northeast Ohio. I support a family of six on a teacher's salary. I am not particularly impressed by a man with three houses, $550,000 in jet receipts, and 0.23 bills per year telling me he stands with the working class. More famous than wise, Senator. More famous than wise. The hippie commune knew it in 72 hours. How long is it going to take everyone else? IF you agree: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this. COMMENT below — do YOU think a man with three homes and a half-million dollar private jet habit speaks for working Americans? Tell me. And if you want MORE of this — the data, the history, the science, the stories — JOIN Bski's Classroom community on X or YouTube. But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who can actually do math, a retired Army combat medic who knows what genuine sacrifice looks like, and apparently one of the few people left who finds it suspicious that the most vocal enemy of oligarchy just cannot bring himself to wait in line at the airport with the rest of us. @JoJoFromJerz @GuntherEagleman @catturd2 #MAGA #Veterans #Trump

@grok @peterboghossian What does CPI stand for in your answer? I assume it is the Corruption Perceptions Index. Is that correct? If so, how is this measured, what are the metrics?

To maintain high trust when importing 10% of population from one country, avoid the lowest-trust origin per data: Somalia or South Sudan (CPI scores ~9/100, extreme corruption + clan-based societies). Metrics: % saying "most people can be trusted" (WVS: e.g. Indonesia/Philippines ~5%, vs. 40%+ in high-trust nations); Corruption Perceptions Index; Inglehart-Welzel survival vs. self-expression values; homicide/crime rates; cultural distance. Low generalized trust + high in-group bias imports erode social capital fast.

Thought experiment. Assume as true: 1. You live in a high-trust society 2. Must import 10% of population over next 5 years 3. All from a single country 4. Primary goal = maintain high trust Which country should you NOT take people from? What metrics or data should you use?

Democracy vs. Constitutional Republic "The word "democracy" appears ZERO times in the Constitution. It also does not appear in the Declaration of Independence, nor does it appear in any of the Constitutions of the 50 states." Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution mandates: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government", therefore explicitly establishing America as a Republic, NOT a democracy. So the democrats are LYING when they call America a "democracy." Democracy = mob rule = tyranny. That's EXACTLY what they want, which is likely why they use the word repeatedly. Why aren't we taught about this?

If your candidate was forced through the primaries with ZERO votes, don’t talk to me about kings. If your side has made multiple attempts on the presidents life, don’t talk to me about saving democracy. If you don’t know what a woman is, don’t tell me to trust the science. If you think that President Trump staged attacks on himself, don’t talk to me about conspiracy theories. If you are boosted with Covid jabs, don’t talk to me about a cult. If you’re trying to convince children to be uncomfortable in their own skin, don’t talk to me about brainwashing. If you support abortion on demand, don’t talk to me about religion. If you supported a vegetable as president, don’t talk to me about invoking the 25th amendment. If you have armed security, don’t tell me the rest of us need gun control. If you’re inviting illegals into our country by the millions, don’t tell me we don’t need secure borders and elections. If you’re misappropriating billions of our tax dollars, don’t tell me not to worry about fraud. If you burn our flag, don’t tell me how to run our country. Enough is enough!

question of the day

Mon coco, c'est touchant de voir quelqu'un rire de ce qu'il ne comprend pas. C'est même presque attendrissant. Mais comme la réalité a cette fâcheuse manie d'exister indépendamment de ton fou rire, on va quand même la regarder ensemble. Voici la courbe. Une seule. Celle qui devrait clore le débat pour toute personne ayant un minimum d'honnêteté intellectuelle. En 1820, 84% de l'humanité vivait en extrême pauvreté. Pas dans un studio sans clim à Paris. En extrême pauvreté. Famine, mortalité infantile à 40%, espérance de vie de 30 ans, pas d'eau courante, pas d'école, pas de médecine. Aujourd'hui ? 8,6%. Et ça continue de baisser chaque année. Cette chute n'est pas tombée du ciel. Elle a un nom. Elle s'appelle le capitalisme, l'industrialisation, la division du travail, le commerce, l'innovation, la propriété privée, l'État de droit. Bref, exactement ce que ta copine Castets veut démanteler. Quelques exemples concrets pour les esprits qui préfèrent les faits aux slogans. Chine, 1978. Deng Xiaoping prononce une phrase que Castets ne pourra jamais comprendre : "la pauvreté n'est pas le socialisme." Il décollectivise les terres, ouvre aux marchés, libéralise le commerce. Résultat : 800 millions de personnes sorties de la pauvreté en 40 ans. La plus grande réduction de pauvreté de l'histoire de l'humanité. Pas grâce à un Comité Central. Grâce au marché. Corée du Sud, 1960. Plus pauvre que le Ghana. PIB par habitant inférieur à celui du Sénégal. Choix du capitalisme, de l'export, de la propriété privée. Aujourd'hui, 12e économie mondiale, Samsung, Hyundai, K-pop. Pendant ce temps, la Corée du Nord, qui a fait l'autre choix, mange de l'écorce. Vietnam, 1986. Doi Moi, les réformes de marché. Taux de pauvreté à 70%. Aujourd'hui sous les 5%. Même schéma. Même cause. Même résultat. Inde, 1991. Manmohan Singh libéralise. 270 millions de personnes sorties de la pauvreté en trois décennies. Pologne, Estonie, République Tchèque post-1989. Choc capitaliste. Convergence accélérée vers les niveaux de vie occidentaux. Pendant ce temps, la Biélorussie et la Russie de Poutine, qui ont gardé leurs réflexes dirigistes, stagnent. Tu vois le pattern, Jules-Maurice ? À chaque fois qu'un pays embrasse le capitalisme, ses pauvres deviennent moins pauvres. À chaque fois qu'un pays s'en éloigne, ils crèvent. Venezuela, Cuba, Corée du Nord, Zimbabwe de Mugabe. La liste est longue. Le capitalisme n'est pas parfait. Personne ne le prétend. Mais c'est, factuellement, mathématiquement, historiquement, le seul système qui ait massivement extrait l'humanité de la misère. Tous les autres ont échoué. Tous. Sans exception. Alors quand Castets déclare que tout le monde devrait être anticapitaliste, elle ne tient pas une position morale. Elle réclame, en toute sincérité je veux bien le croire, que l'on remette 84% de l'humanité dans la merde où elle a passé 99% de son histoire. C'est ça que tu trouves drôle, mon coco ? La réalité est dure à accepter quand on a construit son identité politique sur un mensonge. Mais elle est là. Têtue. Documentée. Sourcée. Elle ne s'efface pas en mettant cinq emojis qui rigolent. Cite-moi un fait précis qui est faux dans ce que je viens d'écrire. Un seul. Avec une source. Je t'attends.

Hello darkness, my old friend…

RFK Jr puts the measles hysteria to bed. “This has become a talking point for Democrats that somehow I caused the measles epidemic. The measles epidemic started in January 2025 - before I came into office.” “Most of the people affected are over the age of 5 years old, meaning their decision to not vaccinate predated my appointment to this office. We had about 2,200 measles cases last year and we had 1,700 this year. This is not unique to the United States. This is a global outbreak. Mexico had 3x the number of measles cases than we did. We did better than any other country in the world at controlling the epidemic. Mexico has 3x the number and it has 1/3 of the population. Canada has twice the number and it has 1/8 of our population. Europe had 33,000 cases in the last year and a 127,000 the year before and they have one half of our population. So the problem is not me.”

@RichardAngwin @DefiantLs , please archive this one.

Beautiful Bronx moment! President Obama and Mayor Mamdani reading to preschoolers, laughing and engaging with our kids. True leadership for the next generation. Trump could never. He’d rather slash funding and bash teachers. Thank you, gentlemen. 📖❤️

SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE ASKING: WHAT IS THE SOLUTION? Let me offer one of several answers. The first step is not another government commission or a strongly worded resolution from Brussels. The first step is to name it correctly. THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS CHANGE! Islam is not first and foremost a religion. It is a political law system. A total ideology that governs every aspect of life - diet, dress, finance, family, sexuality, governance, war and the treatment of non-believers. It has a legal code - sharia - that claims divine authority and demands implementation by the state. Christianity tells you how to relate to God and your neighbour. The separation of church and state is a Christian idea —- “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.” There is no equivalent in Islam. There never has been. When we understand Islam as a political ideology - rather than a private faith - the entire discussion about religious freedom changes. Because religious freedom protects your right to pray. To worship. To believe whatever you choose in your own heart and your own home. It does not protect a political system that demands the subjugation of women. That calls for the death of apostates. That considers non-believers second-class citizens. That seeks to replace the laws of a democratic state with divine law that cannot be questioned, amended or voted away. We do not grant religious freedom to Nazism because it has a spiritual dimension. We do not protect Communism from criticism because some of its followers are sincere. We judge ideologies by what they demand - and what they do to people when they have power. Islam as a political system has been given power in 57 countries. The result is the same every time. Women are controlled. Minorities are persecuted. Dissidents are silenced. Freedom disappears. That is not a coincidence. That is the system working exactly as designed. The moment Western governments and courts begin treating Islam as what it actually is - a political ideology with religious elements, rather than a religion with political elements - the entire legal framework shifts. You can restrict a political ideology that is incompatible with democracy. You already do it with others. You just have to be honest about what you are dealing with. That is the first step. And it starts with saying it out loud.❤️‍🔥🪽✝️

AJEDREZ HÚNGARO QUE HACE LLORAR A BRUSELAS🤣 🇭🇺 Viktor Orbán coloca a su “traidor” de confianza y la UE cae en la trampa perfecta: el jaque mate que ha dejado humillados a Bruselas, Soros y Obama. En un ejercicio de ajedrez político tan brillante que roza lo cómico, Viktor Orbán se olió desde hace tiempo que la Unión Europea, George Soros, Obama todo el club globalista iban a por él. Como en Hungría ya no quedaba oposición de izquierda que valiera (ninguno superó el ridículo 5% electoral), el primer ministro húngaro decidió resolver el problema a su manera: tomó a su mejor aliado y hombre de confianza, Péter Magyar, y lo mandó al frente como “opositor” de lujo. El plan era tan simple como genial: Magyar, que hasta 2024 era pieza clave del gobierno orbánista, abandonó dramáticamente el barco, se hizo el disidente, recibió con gusto los fondos de los mismos euroburócratas que odian a Orbán y se presentó como la gran esperanza del “cambio”. La izquierda europea y sus mecenas cayeron en la trampa como moscas en miel. “¡Por fin!”, gritaron en Bruselas, mientras abrían la chequera. Nadie entendió nada, claro, porque casi nadie habla húngaro y los títulos de los medios occidentales eran demasiado bonitos para cuestionarlos. Resultado, Magyar ganó. Y apenas puso un pie en el poder, el “traidor” reveló su verdadera cara. Declaró que la frontera “no es lo suficientemente fuerte”, rechazó el 90% de las exigencias de Ursula von der Leyen, priorizó los derechos de los húngaros étnicos y siguió, en la práctica, la misma línea soberanista que tanto molesta a la UE. La Unión Europea, Soros, Obama y compañía pisaron el palito, soltaron la plata y ahora miran atónitos cómo el “cambio” que tanto celebraron es exactamente igual al Orbán de siempre, solo que con otro nombre. Jugada maestra. Ajedrez 5D en su máxima expresión. Y lo mejor: todo legal, todo limpio y todo delante de sus narices.

The top 1% of income earners pay for 46% of all federal income taxes. The bottom 50% pay only 2%. So, we already do. This talking point only resonates with people who have the IQ of a turnip.

The National Popular Vote Compact is wildly unconstitutional. First, it lets a handful of states rig the Electoral College by awarding their votes based on out-of-state popular totals, which goes directly against the Framers' rejection of pure national popular election, and the originalist interpretation of article II. Second, this '”compact” among states violates the article I’s Compact Clause which requires Congress's consent. And third, it guts federalism without a proper Article V amendment. End-run around the Constitution.

YES!! Works the same with medical care, education, housing, .....EVERYTHING! 🔥🔥

I genuinely don’t know whether to laugh or lose my mind anymore at this European hypocritical double standards. When it comes to Vladimir Putin, suddenly it’s Churchillian resolve. No compromise. No dialogue. Arm Ukraine to the teeth, sanction everything that moves, wreck your own energy security if necessary - because tyranny must be confronted. Fine. I actually respect the consistency of that … in isolation. But then you turn around and lecture us - us - the Gulf monarchies, Jordan and Israel, about showing restraint with Tehran? About dialogue? About coexistence? Are you serious? For forty years - forty bloody years - this regime has been waging a shadow war across the region. Militias, proxies, sleeper cells, terror networks, destabilizing entire countries - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen - and threatening the Gulf monarchies, Jordan, and Israel nonstop. This isn’t theoretical. This isn’t abstract. This is lived reality. And yet here come Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and the rest of the European choir, gently advising us to calm down, de-escalate, and - what was it again? - “give diplomacy a chance.” Diplomacy with who, exactly? With a system that has built its entire regional strategy on plausible deniability and proxy terror violence? You were willing to absorb inflation, energy shocks, and political backlash at home to confront Moscow. You made that choice. You said: this is the price of standing up to a tyrant. So don’t come here and tell us - after decades of being on the receiving end - that we should just sit down, smile politely, and “coexist.” Either you believe in confronting tyranny everywhere .. or you don’t. Macron, Starmer, rest of EU leaders and top bureaucrats should just STFU and spare us the self righteous sanctimonious lectures!🤐🤫
