Notice the sleight of hand. First it’s “the rich don’t pay most taxes.” Then when shown top earners already do, the argument shifts to “wealth isn’t income.” Exactly. Which means the debate was never really about income. It was about whether the state is entitled to seize accumulated property itself. Owning stock, businesses, or assets is not the same as receiving cash income. But many people no longer treat property as genuinely private. They treat it as public wealth temporarily held by individuals until politicians decide otherwise.

“The top 1% pay 40% of the taxes” — the statement so misleading, it might as well be false. @raymadoff explains.

I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them. realclearpolitics.com/articles/2026/…

bernie shouldn't have multiple homes while his constituents are homeless. it's time for a "fair tax" on senators, who must relinquish all but their primary residence. join me in encouraging this wealthy landlord to do the right thing and return his stolen property to the people.
Sen. Bernie Sanders@SenSanders

Question for Musk: You tell us not to worry about the jobs that’ll be wiped out by AI & robotics because the government will provide everyone with “universal high income.” Really? How will that be paid for when you can’t even support a 5% tax on your $817 billion in wealth?

Gen Z has the opportunity to become a second Greatest Generation. They could be the ones who defeat totalitarian ideology at home where their great-great grandfathers defeated it abroad. Zoomers could restore sanity to the republic and defeat the communist revolution, BUT... Not if they fall for this. Fighting communist revolution by adopting identity politics is not fighting communist revolution, it's joining it. What Keri says here is such an important thing for Gen Z (and all of us!) to understand:
Keri Smith 🌱Deprogrammed@RealKeriSmith

Your flaw is that you think the elites are “Israel” or “Jews.” You’ve allowed the woke to colonize your mind with the oldest trick in the book and the SAME one they used on the woke left: scapegoating identity groups. 🤷‍♀️ You’re probably proud that they didn’t get ya with the “it’s white men and patriarchy and capitalism!” but they got ya with “it’s Jews and Israel and capitalism!” You’ve chosen the path of Cain (resentment, entitlement, murderous rage) instead of the path of Abel (gratitude, sacrifice, determination).

Low-end disruption. That's the key phrase to think about when you contemplate the medium-term future of AI. Nearly 30 years ago, now, Clayton Christensen identified a pattern of technology companies plowing huge amounts of capital into technology to pursue ever-increasing capacity and higher margins. Bigger steam shovels. Bigger cars. Bigger disk drives. He also noticed what tends to happen to them. Low-cost competitors find cheaper ways to serve niche markets. Over time, both the dominant expensive technology and the cheaper, lower-spec alternatives improve. Often, the expensive technology overshoots customer demand, and the cheap one gets just good enough in terms of performance. At which point the bottom abruptly falls out of the market for the expensive technology, and the disruptor inherits the Earth. The former incumbents are left wondering what happened. "Bbut.. our stuff was better!" Yes, it was. It was better at every single point in the timeline, including the moment when the bottom fell out. Just good enough and cheap beats better but more expensive. That is the harsh lesson of dozens of technology disruptions. Now consider the way that low-cost, low-capability AI engines like the little machine I described in my quoted previous post are beginning to nibble at the outer edges of the market for AI inference. They're not very good yet. But there is a very clear path for them to get better. Hardware improvements. Software improvements. Yes, they'll get a little more expensive, and a lot more capable. Huge centralized data centers selling remote operation with subscription fees, versus a whole bunch of smaller, distributed on-premises AI appliances that aren't as powerful, but don't incur subscription costs forever and are a lot better for security and privacy. The question isn't if low-end disruption will cut the legs out from under the big AI providers. It's how soon.
Eric S. Raymond@esrtweet

Economics is a harsh mistress. Devices like this running open-source LLMs are the reason I believe the current massive wave of data-center buildouts is a massive over-investment that's going to end in a crash. All that's needed for the value proposition of the big AI providers to pop like a bubble is for the tokens-per-second return of a device like this one to get fast enough for practical use. In this video, it looks very much like it has. And they're going to get faster - RISC-V chips are still underpowered, but that will change as soon as one of the startups working the problem begins shipping out-of-order implementations. I've lived through two technology-driven speculative bubbles; dot-com and the less-remembered fiber mania that preceded and overlapped with it. I know what they smell like, and we are in one now. youtu.be/bjH9qvOq_wk

Well said.
Green Beret Nap Time@GBNT1952

This is all true, of course, but I think the deeper issue is spiritual and civilizational decay. A nation built on Christianity cannot abandon God, destroy its traditions, mock its own history, dissolve the family unit, and then expect social cohesion to survive. Nature dislikes a vacuum. When Christianity and patriotism were pushed out of our public life, out of our children’s schools and almost entirely out of the media they consume, something else rushed in to replace them. Hostile powers like Russia and China understand this well. Through active measures, propaganda, and unrestricted warfare, they have spent decades amplifying anti-American and anti-Christian sentiment inside our media, entertainment, and education systems. They know a divided, demoralized America is easier to defeat than a united one. At the same time, the vast growth of the welfare state has helped erode personal responsibility, family structure, and community dependence on faith and civic duty. The citizen became a consumer. Comfort replaced purpose. And while all of this was happening, the guardians of western civilization effectively stopped guarding it. Western culture did not simply decay because tech companies manipulated attention spans. No… it decayed because the people responsible for preserving it surrendered the responsibility of leadership, tradition, and moral confidence. So many decided that, in the pursuit of the American dream, others could raise and cultivate their children. The system was deliberately built this way, especially as government institutions like the Department of Education entered the fray. Our curriculum doesn’t teach our children how to be successful; it teaches them how to acquiesce to these new societal norms and expectations. Until western men and women alike reengage with faith, family, nation, and shared cultural identity, the vacuum will continue to be filled by fragmentation, nihilism, and engineered division.

Yep
Carol Roth@caroljsroth

On PE: Private Equity is merely a class of financing, just like public equity, private debt and public debt. It is inherently good for more businesses to have access to equity via private markets, otherwise financing for businesses would be limited to debt and public equity, the latter only available to large companies with predictable and consistent growth. There is a lot of capital in the system, and so there will be bad equity underwriters and good equity underwriters (whether in public or private markets). There are also good underwriters that don’t get things correct 100% of the time. That’s risk and that’s part of the deal. But given that PE firms make the lion’s share of their money from growing and exiting businesses profitably, the idea that PE is- on a widespread basis- tanking businesses intentionally is ridiculous. That being said, there are things with PE to be cautious about. As a consumer, I wouldn’t want to use a service business like dentists or accounting firms that were owned by PE, because they are trying to maximize revenue and profit (again, not tanking the business, but rather trying to drive more fees). I would also do a lot of diligence before investing in PE funds today, because deal opportunities have too much money chasing them and it’s much harder to drive outsized returns that justify the risks. But, like anything else, PE is not just “one thing”- PE represents an important part of our capital system, but has its risks and downsides, like anything else.

This post would have you believe there are 28 million Groypers in the US, but... Nick Fuentes: - "This is the same polling agency that does some of the surveys in Florida for James Fishback" - "They did a nationwide poll, I think they surveyed about 915 people" It's nonsense🤡
𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐮𝐬@ImperiumFirst

Nick Fuentes reacts to 8% of Americans identifying as Groypers "12% of men identify as Groypers... That means we run 2028. Now you understand why they have to destroy the Groyper movement."

James Fishback has no right to be on this primary ballot! He is a fraudulent candidate promoting himself with bot influencers & fraudulent polling accounts here on X! He is disqualified from running as his homestead property has been in DC.

A candidate for Governor of Florida who claims WASHINGTON DC as his Homestead is openly promoting a fake polling company. The Florida primary is a JOKE. Well done, @CordByrd for not issuing a 1 paragraph statement on a cut and dry issue and EVERYONE who put him in the ORBIT.

Not smart to alienate young voters (likely for years) who ask questions you may not be inclined to like… This is a supporter of a different candidate - why not try to win him over without being so bombastic and rude? A very bad look imo.
BrandonF@FineliF94089

Last night,@JayCollinsFL asked me if I was a Fishback supporter. When I said yes, he shut me up, told me to sit down, turn my phone off, and listen. I am a 17 year old high school student from Baker, FL.

@RamonaRichey @CookedGooseinFL Amen. I had to have tough talks with my teenage kids. Nor did I I ever hold back when any of their peers said or did stupid stuff around my kids or me. In fact, my stepdaughter still thanks me years later for speaking hard truths to her that her own mother was afraid of doing.

@mst195 @JordanSchachtel I don't understand the comment. There are of course details that need to be weighed but the statement that building technological infrastructure is good for America is obviously true.

Data centers revitalize American manufacturing by driving massive demand and upgrading the power infrastructure in former industrial hubs. Building American technological infrastructure is good for America.
