Latin America is now aging faster than ANY region in the world. Chile has a lower birthrate than even Japan. What is going on?

Thomas Sowell is 95 years old. Let that number sit with you. Ninety-five years on this earth, and in all of them, he has never held public office, never had a viral moment, never begged for anyone’s attention. What he has done is write 30 books and spend 50 years of patient research building a body of work that has outlasted every fashionable idea his critics tried to bury him with. While the loudest voices in Washington were chasing polls and the cleverest minds on campus were chasing grants, Sowell was in the library reading the data, tracking the outcomes, and dismantling one bad idea after another. He doesn’t argue feelings. He measures results. He isn’t selling anything. His whole approach boils down to one line that every politician and activist in this country should be forced to recite before they open their mouths: “There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.” Sit with that, too. Every federal program, every mandate, every well-meaning crusade carries a cost, and somebody pays it. Sowell’s life work has been the simple act of asking who. Listen to him on the “help” our communities have been promised for two generations: “I’ve been doing studies now for 20 years of programs designed to increase equality. They increase inequality.” “Even when the programs are designed for disadvantaged groups, they help the affluent members of the disadvantaged groups, while the lower members of those groups fall further behind than ever before.” That is the whole affirmative action racket laid out in two sentences. The kids from the same zip codes as the Harvard faculty get the slot, while the kids from the neighborhoods that actually need a ladder are told to wait their turn. Sowell says it plain: “The vast majority of blacks who go to places like Harvard, Cornell, and Stanford are not blacks from the ghetto. They’re from the same neighborhoods as the whites there.” The race hustlers don’t want you to know that, because they need the grievance to stay in business. Sowell’s advice to young people cuts right through the hustle: “Stay away from the race hustlers.” “Equip yourself with skills that people are willing to pay for.” That is the whole ball game right there, a matter of skills, work, and accountability rather than slogans, hashtags, or another federal program designed to pad a consultant’s salary while leaving the South Side worse off than before. Here is the line I want every young person in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and every other corner of America to read tonight: “Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.” That one sentence explains our schools, our cities, and why the neighborhoods the War on Poverty was supposed to save are in worse shape now than they were before the checks started flowing. Sowell has pushed a whole generation of us to stop reacting and start asking harder questions. What are the incentives? Who actually benefits from this policy? What do the numbers look like five, ten, twenty years later? Ask those questions honestly, and the illusion falls apart. The most dangerous man in America right now isn’t the one shouting on television. He is the 95-year-old professor in Palo Alto who doesn’t need you to agree with him, because he has the data on his side. Ninety-five years of telling the truth. Thank you, Dr. Sowell.

Sweden's socialist experiment collapsed so spectacularly in the 1990s that even the Social Democrats had to abandon their own system and embrace free markets. By 1990, Sweden faced a full-blown economic crisis. Government spending had ballooned to 67% of GDP. Marginal tax rates hit 102% (literally paying the state to work). Public debt exploded. The banking system collapsed under the weight of government-directed credit allocation. Unemployment skyrocketed to 12%. The Swedish model had delivered exactly what free market economists predicted: economic stagnation, capital flight, and fiscal collapse. The government had no choice but to deregulate. They privatized telecommunications, postal services, railways, and electricity. They abolished exchange controls and financial market regulations. They cut government spending from 67% to 49% of GDP. They reduced the top marginal tax rate from 87% to 57%. They opened domestic markets to foreign competition and eliminated price controls across entire sectors. The results were immediate and undeniable. GDP growth accelerated from near-zero to 4% annually through the late 1990s. Unemployment plummeted to 4% by 2000. Productivity surged as companies like Ericsson and Volvo competed globally without government interference. Swedish startups like Skype and Spotify emerged from the newly liberalized economy. Foreign investment flooded back as Sweden transformed from socialist basket case to competitive market economy. Capitalism worked once Sweden removed socialist barriers to growth and competition. Yet, today it is paraded as a socialist success story😂.

A new country is emerging in the Middle East? The Druze, with the support of Israel, now fully control the southern Syrian region of Sweida. Sweida has almost half a million people. Over 85% are Druze and nearly 10% are Christian. It’s BY FAR the safest area for Christians in Syria. Sweida could soon become the first overwhelmingly non-Muslim state in the Middle East since Israel" - Boris Kfir Chainkinski

"The evils of capitalism:"

1890: rinderpest arrives in East Africa. The Serengeti wildebeest collapse from over a million to 200,000. Ecologists expect the grassland to flourish. Fewer mouths, more grass. Obvious. The grassland goes backwards. 1960s: vaccination clears rinderpest from cattle. The wild herds recover. Ecologists brace for overgrazing. The wildebeest rebuild to 1.5 million. Largest herbivore population on earth. The grassland gets greener. More soil carbon. Lower fire frequency. More tree cover than in 1900. The landscape gets more complex, not less. The papers have been sitting in prestigious journals for decades. The campaigners continue to argue that grazers destroy ecosystems. The largest natural experiment on earth says the opposite and it cannot be cited, because it does not say the right thing. It just sits there. Getting greener.

Every hospital in Britain had a stockpot on the stove until approximately the 1960s. Every workhouse before that. Every military mess. Every school kitchen. Every farmhouse. Every household that could afford bones, which was every household, because bones were the cheapest thing the butcher sold. The stockpot ran continuously. Beef bones, pork bones, chicken carcasses, lamb shanks. The bones went in with water and were simmered for 12, 18, 24 hours. The broth that came out was the foundation of every soup, every stew, every gravy, every sauce. Bone broth contains collagen, which breaks down into gelatin during cooking. Gelatin provides glycine and proline, essential for joint health, gut lining integrity, and connective tissue repair. It contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium leached from the bones. It contains glucosamine and chondroitin, now sold as joint supplements at £15 per bottle. It contains bone marrow, rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and K2. Your grandmother did not know the names of these compounds. She knew the broth kept the family well. She knew a bowl of broth settled the stomach when someone was ill. She knew the broth made the gravy and the gravy made the dinner and the dinner kept the children growing. The broth was replaced by the stock cube. The stock cube contains salt, maltodextrin, palm oil, yeast extract, flavouring, sugar, and colouring. It does not contain collagen, glycine, glucosamine, or any of the compounds the 24-hour broth provided. The stock cube is flavoured salt water. The generation that grew up on the broth has joints. The generation that grew up on the stock cube has a glucosamine subscription and an orthopaedic appointment. The supplement industry now sells, individually and at substantial markup, every compound the bone broth contained for free. Collagen powder: £25. Glucosamine tablets: £15. Bone broth itself, repackaged as a wellness product: £8 per serving from a company in Shoreditch with a minimalist label. They have not discovered anything new. They have rediscovered what their grandmothers threw away. The stockpot is still available. The bones are still at the butcher's. Water. Bones. Heat. Time. The broth has been the broth for approximately 10,000 years. The stock cube has been the stock cube for approximately 70. The broth's track record is better.

Soy europeo. Hace 16 años, las economías de la UE y EE.UU. estaban prácticamente a la par. Hoy, la economía de EE.UU. es un 50% mayor que la de toda la UE junta. Esta es la cruda realidad detrás del suicidio económico que está sufriendo Europa 🧵:

Franco Parisi está criticando el plan de reconstrucción del gobierno de Kast, el cual incluye una rebaja gradual al impuesto corporativo. Lo insólito es que Parisi, tal como queda en evidencia en este video, proponía la misma rebaja de impuestos a las empresas. Charlatán pillado

Hezbollah official: “We are currently investing in protests and demonstrations in Western countries, especially among college students. We already have Muslim students agitating, but it’s the Western students themselves who will destroy their own countries.” This is the decade-old plan by Hezbollah and the Islamic Regime in Iran to destroy America and Europe.

🔥NEW: Clarence Thomas — full remarks on progressivism, its foundations, history, and impact from his appearance at University of Texas at Austin: “Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Mao were all intertwined with the rise of progressivism, and all were opposed to the natural rights on which our Declaration is based.” "Many progressives expressed admiration for each of them shortly before their governments killed tens of millions of people." "It comes as no surprise that the progressives embraced eugenics... It was only a small step for Wilson to resegregate the federal workforce." "It was only another step for the government to launch sterilization programs on those deemed by the experts of the day to be unfit to reproduce." “European thinkers have long criticized America for remaining trapped in a Lockean world, with its weakened, decentralized government and strong individual rights. They say our 18th-century Declaration has prevented us from progressing to higher forms of government." "But we were fortunate not to trade our Lockean bonds for the supposedly enlightened world of Hegel, Marx, and their followers. Fascism, which after all was national socialism, triggered wars in Europe and Asia that killed tens of millions." "The socialism of the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China proceeded to kill tens of millions more of their own people. This is what happens when natural rights give way to higher-good notions of history or progress, or, as Thomas Sowell has written, the visions of the anointed." "None of this, of course, was an improvement on the principles of the Declaration. Tocqueville's Democracy in America is largely about how America owed its superiority over Europe to its conscious decision to reject central planning and administrative rule, root and branch." "Progressivism, in other words, is retrogressive.”

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.

So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama's campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left. And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing. All organically, I'm sure. I'm a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you'll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne. This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico for defending religious exemptions THE CATECHISM ITSELF supports. But somehow Trump is the threat to human dignity. Pope Francis was bad. Leo has turned out to be worse. Francis at least was vague about his politics. Leo went and hired the consulting firm. The man has ignored the slaughter of Christians across Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Hundreds of believers murdered, churches burned, pastors kidnapped. His response? Platitudes about dialogue. OF COURSE he won't even name who's doing the killing. But he'll fly across continents to make interfaith gestures the week after his people coordinated a media hit on a sitting US president. The weaponization of belief is obvious. You get the Pope to pick a fight with Trump, and suddenly millions of conservative Catholics have to choose between their faith and their vote.

THE JEW'S HOLOCAUST;He was offered his life, his freedom, and a way out, but he chose to walk into the fire because he couldn't bear the thought of a child being afraid in the dark alone. They went to their deaths not as prisoners, but as a family, following the only man who ever told them they were loved. Janusz Korczak, the famous Polish-Jewish doctor, author, and director of a large orphanage in Warsaw, dedicated his life to fighting for children's rights. When the Nazis invaded Poland, he moved his 200 orphans into the cramped, starving Warsaw Ghetto. On August 5, 1942, as the orphanage faced "liquidation" and the children were to be sent to Treblinka, Korczak was offered a "Sanctuary" pass by Nazi authorities, which he tore to pieces, refusing to abandon his children. He led them on a "trip to the countryside," dressed in their cleanest clothes, holding two of the youngest children's hands as they marched through the ghetto toward the trains. Even at the station, a German officer's attempt to pull him from the line was met with a simple shake of his head before he stepped into the airless cattle car with his children. He stayed with them until the very end, comforting them in the darkness of the gas chambers, telling them stories until the air ran out, choosing to die as a father to the fatherless. This image captures the "Final Walk of the Just"—a poignant testament to human goodness, a story that breaks the heart but heals the soul, proving that the light of one man’s love can outshine the darkness of a thousand cannons. Today, against the Jew, the same annihilation is crafted every other day. THE ISLAMIC WORLD, LEFTIST REGIMES AND REST OF THE DEMONISED BEINGS HAVE CONNIVED AGAINST ISRAEL. IT'LL NOT HAPPEN!
