@MrAndyNgo Good.

Los Angeles (March 28) — A far-left rioter at the violent “No Kings” attack tried to block a horse and was kicked to the side.

@TheRealEstateG6 @Indian_Bronson Correct.

That’s because the US is an incredibly high-tax society in which - 36% goes to old people - 14% goes interest on the debt - 24% goes to poor people - 13% goes to defense - 6% to veterans So a normal working-aged person is taxed insanely high and sees no benefits

@realpeteyb123 Take control of your own life. The govt is largely irrelevant if you are anti-fragile.

Democrats suck Republicans suck. What’s the solution?

@Jorycle @Grand_Ole_Evan Then how to pay for it?

@Grand_Ole_Evan I know you're just making a very lazy argument because that seems to be all the right wing does, but everyone I know of on the left who talks about these things in a serious way has put a great deal of thought into how to pay for it such that it remains a significant net gain.

It’s not a mystery why people are left wing. Being left wing is just easier. It’s much easier to be the “free healthcare for all!” person than the “who pays for it?” person

@PadrePickleman @JakeCan72 @Ilegvm Correct

San Francisco eliminated 8th-grade algebra in 2014. The stated goal: give minority students extra time to learn basic math. 8th-grade math proficiency in 2017: 51%. By 2023: 40%. It took a ballot initiative and a 4-3 vote to reverse it. Ten years. One generation of students. A measurable, documented decline across every group the policy was designed to help. This is what equity policy looks like in practice — not equal outcomes, just equally worse ones. The board just rediscovered that teaching algebra is how children learn algebra. That’s the whole story of liberal governance in one school district.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ So much for equity.

@Handre Correct.

While Keynes blamed greedy capitalists and "animal spirits" for the Great Depression, Friedrich Hayek had already explained the real cause in his prescient 1931 work "Prices and Production." The Austrian economist identified artificial credit expansion by central banks as the culprit—not market failure, but government intervention in money markets. Hayek's analysis cut through the political noise with surgical precision. When central banks create money out of thin air and push interest rates below their natural market level, they distort the entire structure of production. Entrepreneurs receive false price signals, leading them to start long-term investment projects that appear profitable but lack real consumer demand. The economy develops what Austrians call "malinvestment"—resources flow into the wrong sectors, creating an unsustainable boom. The Federal Reserve had done exactly this throughout the 1920s, expanding credit by roughly 60% between 1921 and 1929. Easy money fueled the stock market bubble and encouraged massive overinvestment in capital goods industries. When reality finally struck and the artificial boom collapsed, politicians and mainstream economists blamed capitalism itself. They demanded more government intervention to "fix" the crisis that government intervention had created in the first place. Hayek's theory predicted both the boom and the inevitable bust with mathematical precision, while Keynes scrambled to construct his interventionist narrative after the fact. The Austrian explanation required no complex equations or assumptions about market irrationality—just basic economic logic about how price distortions create systemic imbalances. Today's economists still worship at the altar of Keynesian demand management, ignoring the Austrian insights that actually explained 1929. They learned nothing from Hayek's analysis and continue repeating the same credit expansion mistakes that created every major financial crisis since.

It’s turns out incentives continue to matter. What a novel concept. Some people just can’t accept how life actually works. And since we only get one shot at this, that’s a shame.

@yiorgofat @newstart_2024 Incorrect.

@newstart_2024 He grew up in England dude…. He’ll grift on any story to get a view.

Konstantin Kisin, who grew up in the Soviet Union, said something that stopped me cold. While the West teaches its children to be critical of — and often ashamed of — their own country, places like China and Russia are raising theirs to be strong, confident, and focused on science and excellence. Not equity initiatives. He put it bluntly: we’re in a real battle of civilizations. And if we keep weakening our own foundations from within, how exactly do we expect to compete? His line about bridges hit especially hard: “A bridge doesn’t work very well if it’s built on diversity instead of math.” It’s a sobering reminder from someone who’s seen ideological self-sabotage up close. What do you make of this take — is teaching national self-doubt a luxury the West can afford, or a strategic vulnerability in a competitive world?

@wideawake_media It no longer serves his purpose. On to the next platitude.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink—who played an instrumental role in forcing woke diversity quotas on companies—now concedes that the "woke era" was "a failed experiment".

@zachweinberg Correct.

This is why moderate Dems feel homeless with the current Dem party leadership. Elizabeth Warren, one of the faces of the Dem party, is actively just anti-business. Doesn't really want to help anyone, just angry that sometimes people make money building things for customers.

@its_The_Dr Even John couldn’t stomach that statement.

@TrumpsHurricane He’s such a fraud.

Emotional Mayor of NYC Zorhan Mamdani cries and he says he has been getting hateful messages for being a Muslim What is your response to him ??

@CrazyFenaker @FightWithMemes Incorrect.

Amazingly, government intervention actually made everything worse.

@shaunmmaguire They chose…..poorly.

One of the most suicidal policy decisions I’ve ever seen

@QuantumGuard17 Ruh roh.

AOC says she has “no reason” to cooperate with federal auditors investigating her suspicious $22 million net worth. “I have the same right to privacy as everyone else.” Meanwhile, investigators are baffled—how does a socialist congresswoman go from bartender to multi-millionaire without something shady going on? One federal official warned: “It would be in her best interest to cooperate.” The walls are closing in.

@RealBababanaras He chose poorly.

BREAKING: Iranian scientist Dr. Saeed Shamkadhri has been killed in a targeted airstrike in Tehran. He specialized in control engineering, a field linked to missile systems, nuclear & drone technology. He was reportedly a key figure in Iran’s nuclear weapons development program.

@Geniustechw @JohnCleese Yes. Common sense. Easy decision. Plus just look at him.

Pakistani imam in Italy preaches that every Muslim must fight the infidels or face “catastrophic consequences” → next day Giorgia Meloni personally orders his deportation after 30 years in the country 😱 Do you agree with her decision?

@Victoria00025 Yes. This would be a quite positive development in our republic.

Do you support this!? 👇

The Berlin Wall created the most brutal controlled experiment in human history: identical people, split by ideology, watched for 41 years to see which system would prevail. West Germans embraced market economics while East Germans suffered under socialist central planning. The results? Devastating. By 1989, East German GDP per capita sat at roughly 30% of West Germany's level. East Germans consumed 40% fewer calories, owned cars at one-tenth the rate, and waited 12 years for a telephone connection. Meanwhile, their western cousins enjoyed rising living standards, technological innovation, and personal freedom that made West Germany an economic powerhouse. But the socialists had excuses ready. "East Germany started from a worse position after the war," they claimed. Bullshit. Both regions faced identical devastation in 1945. The Soviets actually stripped more industrial equipment from their zone (roughly $10 billion worth), yet this affected rural areas less than urban centers. And East Germany possessed abundant natural resources like lignite coal and uranium that should have provided economic advantages. The real difference? Property rights, price signals, and entrepreneurship versus state ownership, price controls, and bureaucratic allocation. West Germans could start businesses, invest capital, and respond to consumer demands. East Germans filled quotas set by party officials who had never run so much as a lemonade stand. You can't coordinate an economy through committee meetings and five-year plans when prices tell you nothing about real supply and demand. East Germans voted with their feet—2.7 million fled west before the Communists built their wall in 1961. After reunification, investigators found Stasi files on one-third of the population. When you need secret police watching every third citizen, your economic system has already failed.

@Jules31415 @elonmusk The guy knows no boundaries.

Gavin Newsom tells Axios he created the conditions in California that “allowed” @elonmusk “to become the multibillionaire, maybe trillionaire that he’s become” and it “breaks [his] heart” what a “great disappointment” Musk has become. Imagine how narcissistic you’d have to be to take credit for the success of one of the greatest innovators of our time.
