@anyonewantchips Lol. To understand these values you need to first understand that three of them were active supporters of the Democrat Party when they were cheating on their wives. How about dem values?

Trump has 5 kids with 3 women he cheated on. Elon Musk has 14 kids with 4 women he cheated on. Pete Hegseth has 7 kids with 3 women he cheated on. RFK Jr has 7 kids with 3 women he cheated on. The Republican Party protects pedophiles. Family values - my ass.

Murray Rothbard's "Power and Market" remains the most devastating economic autopsy of government intervention ever written, fifty-four years after publication. Rothbard didn't just critique interventionism—he performed surgical dissection on every conceivable government meddling scheme. Price controls create shortages and surpluses. Antitrust law punishes efficiency and rewards mediocrity. Taxation destroys capital formation and distorts production. Regulation cartelizes industries under the guise of consumer protection. Each intervention spawns new problems that politicians solve with more interventions, creating the famous "interventionist spiral" toward full socialism. The real genius lies in Rothbard's methodical approach. He categorizes interventions into triangular (taxes, subsidies) and binary (price controls, regulations) forms, then traces their logical consequences through Austrian economic reasoning. No mathematical equations or statistical manipulations—just relentless logical analysis of human action. When government artificially lowers bread prices below market rates, producers reduce output and consumers increase demand. The resulting shortage forces government to either abandon the control or impose rationing. Simple cause and effect, yet somehow this eludes most economists. You can trace every economic crisis back to government intervention using Rothbard's framework. The 2008 housing bubble? Government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac distorted mortgage markets for decades. 2021-2023 inflation? Federal Reserve money printing to finance government spending. Supply chain chaos? COVID lockdowns and regulations. Yet politicians and mainstream economists blame "market failure" every damn time. The book obliterates the myth of mixed economy stability—you either have market allocation of resources or political allocation, and the latter always expands at the expense of the former.

Have you watched The Manosphere with Louis Theroux on Netflix? As the Dad of a 17 year old son, I think @jimmycarr is spot on. What do you think?

LOVED HER MUSIC AND LOVE HER HUMANITY❤️ Annie Lennox… We are all being driven MAD with this cruelty! Thank you for being a voice of decency and compassion.

🚨 THEY'VE BEEN HIDING THIS FROM US! Fenbendazole — that cheap, common animal dewormer — is under serious research for fighting 20+ cancer types: lung, breast, colorectal, brain tumors, lymphoma, prostate, pancreatic, ovarian, melanoma, sarcomas & more. This infographic breaks it down: preclinical lab & animal studies show it slams cancer cells by disrupting microtubules, triggering apoptosis, and packing a surprisingly mild side-effect profile. Fascinating science worth watching. Hidden miracle cure?

Incredible. They admit you’re more likely to die from the measles vaccine than from the disease itself. “There were 127 measles vaccine deaths…”

No, I do remember 1979 and was there in the US Congress. The Iranian people were really pissed off after 26 years of the Shah's larceny and tyranny, joined the Revolution and forced the Shah to flee. All good. Then the idiots in Washington gave asylum to the Shah in the US when the crowds wanted him home to face the justice he deserved. So 400 enraged students took the US embassy hostage and asked for three reasonable things: 1) send the Shah back to Iran; 2) Return something like $20 billion that was hidden off-shore; 3) apologize for the 1953 CIA coup that ended their democracy. The warmongers on the Potomac said hell no, sent in the rescue helicopters in the middle of night which turned into the Desert One Disaster----and the rest is history. Very simply---the fools on the Potomac ultimately saddled the Iranian people with the theocracy that has made their lives miserable.

In May 2024, geopolitical analyst Prof. Jiang Xueqin made three predictions: "The first is that Trump will win in November." "The second is that the United States will go to war against Iran." "And the third big prediction is that the United States will lose this war, which will forever change the global order."

@sama Your models are often wrong and out of date. A perfect fit for current US military tactics.

Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

@LibertyLockPod I still need, "It was signed off by autopen," on my bingo card

Recap of Trump's past 24 hours: 1. defended Mark Levine's micropeen 2. disagree? Not MAGA 2. he was shocked Iran fought back 3. we need help reopening Hormuz 4. we don't need help w Hormuz 5. actually we DO need help 6. taking Cuba next I'm definitely sick of winning, boss

A simulation that tells us a lot I want to share an exercise from 2002 that has a lot to do with the current war, but also shows how astute commanders didn't get the recognition they deserved. Today, Iran doesn't operate long or medium-range radars; it keeps almost all its equipment hidden inside mountains, including its planes, while deploying missiles, drones, and a asymmetric naval force. This is a war the U.S. doesn't know how to fight. Let me tell you a story, follow along: The Millennium Challenge 2002 (MC02) took place from July 24 to August 15, 2002, under the U.S. Joint Forces Command. Planned over two full years, it simulated a hypothetical 2007 scenario where the U.S. invaded a Middle Eastern country, clearly inspired by Iran or Iraq. The scale was massive: it cost $250 million and involved 13,500 personnel across 17 simulation sites and nine live locations. At the time, it was the largest and most expensive exercise in American history, designed to test the 'network-centric' warfare doctrine, featuring high-tech electronic surveillance and integrated command. Then came the twist: the opposing force, the 'Red Team' representing a simulated Iran, was led by retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper, a three-star general known for his unconventional tactics and for being 'devious' - shrewd and unpredictable. He was chosen specifically for that reason: to provide a realistic challenge. Van Riper did not disappoint. To bypass advanced U.S. electronic surveillance, he used 'old-school' asymmetric methods: motorcycle messengers for communication and World War II-style light signals, completely avoiding radars and digital systems. This neutralized the American command and control system, which relied heavily on cutting-edge technology. After receiving an ultimatum from the 'Blue Team' (the simulated U.S.) demanding surrender within 24 hours, Van Riper didn’t wait: he launched a devastating preemptive strike. In just 5 to 10 minutes, he used a massive salvo of cruise missiles combined with a fleet of small boats, including suicide attacks. The result? The Red Team sank 16 Blue Team ships: one aircraft carrier, ten cruisers, and five amphibious ships. In the real world, this would have equated to over 20,000 American military deaths, a total shock that paralyzed the exercise on the spot. But here is the part where you’ll understand the mistakes the U.S. is making today in fighting an asymmetric war with Iran: the exercise was abruptly halted, the sunken ships were 'refloated' as if nothing had happened, and the simulation was restarted with rigged rules. The Blue Team was given every advantage, and the Red Team was forced to follow a pre-written script with no freedom. Van Riper was forbidden from using his clever tactics: he was ordered to turn on anti-aircraft radars just so they could be destroyed, told not to shoot at 82nd Airborne aircraft or CV-22s, and even forced to reveal his unit positions. It was essentially a staged script to guarantee an American 'victory.' Outraged, the general resigned in protest, calling the whole thing 'propaganda' and 'scripted.'" Van Riper would be an ideal advisor for the situation in Hormuz, a situation for which I don't see even the slightest military solution.

FOLLOW THE MONEY: HOW BILLIONS IN GRANTS KEEP THE CLIMATE ALARM MACHINE RUNNING That's one of the biggest red flags in this whole climate debate—and I've been calling it out for years: the scientists pushing the nonstop "crisis" narrative aren't out there hunting for raw truth. They're guarding their funding lifeline with everything they've got. Ian Plimer drops the mic on this in his latest interviews (like that explosive Triggernometry one): "Follow the money." It's that simple. Government agencies—NSF, NASA, NOAA—are pumping out billions every year into climate-related research. NSF's budget clocks in around $8-9 billion overall, with massive chunks funneled into geosciences and climate programs. NASA's science directorate pulls in over $7 billion. NOAA's climate and research efforts grab hundreds of millions to billions in targeted dollars (recent FY26 bills kept NOAA around $6 billion total, with science/research holding steady despite attempted cuts elsewhere). Here's the catch: Grants flow freely to projects that scream "urgent catastrophe," model apocalyptic scenarios, and back big policy pushes like net-zero mandates. But if your work echoes Plimer's geological reality—high CO₂ levels in the past paired with massive ice ages, natural cycles driving most change, no runaway warming from trace human emissions—your proposal gets sidelined. Labs shrink. Careers stall. Funding vanishes. It's a classic conflict of interest baked right into the system. These researchers depend on federal grants for staff, equipment, publications, conferences—everything. Rock the boat by questioning the CO₂-doomsday story, and you're suddenly on the outside looking in. No wonder the so-called "consensus" feels unbreakable—it's financially engineered, not scientifically earned. Plimer's reel cuts straight through the noise: This isn't about following evidence wherever it leads. It's a self-perpetuating grant empire dressed up as urgent science. The cash shapes the conclusions, not the other way around. True science thrives on skepticism and debate, not trillion-dollar incentives to echo the approved line. You've been spot-on hammering this point forever, and it's more relevant now than ever. Voices like Plimer's are breaking through because the truth doesn't need subsidies to stand tall. Share if you've seen the same grift for years! Let's keep exposing it. #FollowTheMoney #ClimateGrants
