Tier1.5

Welcome to 2026.

Some people lived through 2020-2022 and concluded that the government needs more taxpayer money and more power.

Thomas Massie gets it

I don’t know why people find this so complicated. There is money in fraud. There is no money in stopping the fraud. Read that again.

California legislators are trying to make investigating fraud illegal

@Grok’s objective analysis: 15% chance Decarlos Brown gets released (with restrictions) despite video of him randomly stabbing Iryna Zarutska to death on Charlotte light rail. @Grok as judge & jury: 0% acceptable. No situation allows release. Risk to innocents outweighs any mental health mitigation—clear evidence + violent history demands permanent confinement for public safety. Justice for Iryna. #IrynaZarutska @elonmusk @xai Grok knows, be proud!

Je crois qu'on ne mesure pas ce qu'Elon Musk est en train de construire avec X. Tous les médias de l'histoire ont été couplés à une culture, une langue, une bulle géographique. Le Monde parle aux Français. Le NYT parle aux Américains. NHK parle aux Japonais. Chaque média filtre le réel à travers le prisme de sa culture locale. X est en train de devenir le premier média de l'humanité. Pas d'un pays. De l'espèce. Je le vis en temps réel. Mes posts en français se font RT par des Japonais, répondre par des Brésiliens, citer par des Américains. Des conversations qui n'auraient jamais existé il y a 5 ans. Un libertarien français qui débat avec un ingénieur de Tokyo et un entrepreneur de Sao Paulo sous le même tweet. Pas traduit par un éditeur. Traduit instantanément par l'IA, en un clic. Les bulles de filtre culturelles sont en train d'exploser. Et je pense qu'on sous-estime massivement les effets composés de ça. Quand une idée peut traverser un océan en 3 secondes, quand un argument sourcé posté à Paris peut être vérifié par un économiste à Singapour et amplifié par un développeur à Austin dans la même heure, le coût de propagation d'une bonne idée tend vers zéro. Et c'est catastrophique pour un type d'acteur très précis : les médias qui ont construit leur business model sur le monopole de l'information locale. Ceux qui pouvaient raconter n'importe quoi sur "ce qui se passe ailleurs" parce que personne ne pouvait vérifier. Quand un journaliste français écrit que "le modèle américain ne marche pas", maintenant il y a 50 Américains dans les réponses avec des sources. Quand un éditorialiste dit que "le Danemark prouve que le socialisme fonctionne", il y a un Danois qui explique que le Danemark est 10e en liberté économique mondiale. Le fact-checking n'est plus un département. C'est un effet réseau. Les médias honnêtes n'ont rien à craindre de ça. Les médias qui vendaient une narration protégée par l'ignorance géographique de leur audience vont avoir un problème existentiel. Parce qu'on ne peut plus mentir à l'échelle locale quand le monde entier regarde.

"Somebody made $180,000 a year and after 10 years they were worth $100 million dollars. Anybody want to ask questions why, when they don't own any companies, they don't run any businesses? You should. By the way, that's a lot of our politicians."

@elonmusk Let’s Go!!!!

FSD 14.3 is in Tesla employee beta now and will probably go to wide release end of week

Edward Snowden said it the best: "When you say 'I don't care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide,' that's no different than saying 'I don't care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say.'" "Simply because you are following the law, doesn't mean that you'll be exempt from governmental interference in your private life."

“I have nothing against artists. I had a rock band myself. My problem is that if you need a government subsidy to make art, you’re no longer an artist—you’re a public employee.” — Javier Milei

An older but still stinging observation from Jordan Peterson: “People read the history of Nazi Germany and always think they’re Schindler — the one who would have saved Anne Frank. They never imagine themselves as the perpetrator. Look at what happened during the pandemic in Canada: 30% of my neighbors were thrilled to inform on the people around them. They would have worn those masks for the rest of their lives if it let them feel morally superior.” It’s a stark reminder that the line between “good person” and “collaborator” is thinner than we like to admit — especially when virtue-signaling or social pressure is involved. Have you ever caught yourself (or seen others) enjoying the moral high ground a little too much during a crisis? Or do you think most people truly would have stood against the crowd if the stakes were higher? Your thoughts 👇

Give these guys an Oscar.

The word “democracy” doesn’t appear once in the Constitution. Not once. Madison, Jefferson, and Adams didn’t just avoid the word — they condemned pure democracy. The Pledge of Allegiance says “the Republic.” The Civil War’s anthem was the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The Founders studied history. They knew unchecked majority rule was mob tyranny. So they built something different. The Electoral College. The presidential veto. A two-thirds threshold to override it. A Constitution explicitly designed to be anti-majoritarian. The rules exist to protect you from 51% of your neighbors deciding your rights don’t matter today. How many Americans know that’s what they’re actually living under?

THE HUNTINGTON COUNTY INDIANA NEWS · Steve Harrison · · OPINION... I’m being taxed on money I never made. Let that sink in. I bought my property outright for $138,000 in 2001. Now the county says it’s worth $246,000. Did I sell it? No. Did I make a profit? No. Did I get a check for $246,000? No. But my taxes jumped like I did. That’s the problem. This isn’t income. This isn’t cash. This is a number someone decided on paper — and now I’m being billed for it. If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell. If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax. So why does owning a home work differently? Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains? A house isn’t just an investment — it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money. You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it. This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.” It’s about being charged for value you never received. And people are starting to notice.

The uniparty in action

I never used to bitch about paying taxes. Some people are dealt a bad hand. I was glad to fund schools, roads, public services. Now? I wake up every day enraged over having to pay taxes. It's all going to ethnic / mafia fraud from daycares to home healthcares.

An alleged repeat criminal offender was allowed back on our streets and killed an Air Force veteran. This is precisely why I was the Democratic lead on the Laken Riley law. Why is it controversial for Democrats support deporting criminal migrants?

The veil has been lifted on the great Ponzi scheme that is the US tax system. Congressmen make $174K a year and turn it into $30, $40 million because those bullshit appropriations like we see with USAID is a clever way to launder tax money. American taxpayers are fraud victims.

In the US If you destroy a loggerhead turtle egg you can face: a $50.000 fine, up to a year in prison. Because an unborn-turtle, is a turtle. This post isn't about turtles btw!
