Wow. Listen to this man. Sensational. A must listen. Listen to him talk about the Iranian People “The regime has crushed this country, and isolated it from the rest of the world. And it shouldn’t be because it’s people are PHENOMENAL” “Imagine you’re an Iranian, you’ve got an economy that doesn’t work, you don’t have freedom, you’ve got friends that have been shot in the head…” “The World is a victim of the Iranian Regime but the people of Iran are DAILY victims of the Iranian Regime” He’s just brilliant isn’t he? Time to act @SecRubio Time to free these phenomenal people.

.@VP discusses meeting with Gold Star families prior to this evening's event in Iowa: "Every time that a person gives the ultimate sacrifice to the United States of America, we often read about it as a line on a newspaper or online, but there's a father, there's a mother, and there's a grandma, and aunts and uncles, and a whole crew of people who love them... We have to make this country worthy of that sacrifice." 🇺🇸

🚨 Spencer Pratt just laid down the law for LA. Once he’s mayor there will be zero handouts of needles or pipes to junkies. His police will arrest anyone caught doing drugs on the street. Every voter in LA needs to back this cleanup.

Cenk Uygur on Jonathan Pollard, Israeli Blackmail and the Monica Lewinsky Tapes “Jonathan Pollard steals our top secrets, and then Netanyahu goes to Clinton and says, we have tapes of you with Monica Lewinsky. He says, I want you to release Jonathan Pollard. Clinton doesn’t do it, and then the tapes get released. Later, Obama paroles him, and then Trump lets him go to Israel, where he gets a hero’s welcome.” @cenkuygur @TheYoungTurks

The Plymouth Pilgrims accidentally ran the first documented socialist experiment in America three centuries before Marx scribbled his manifesto. Governor William Bradford's "common storehouse" system from 1620-1623 delivered textbook collectivist results: mass shirking, crop failures, and near-starvation. Bradford recorded the disaster in detail. Young men "complained that they were oppressed" when forced to work for others without reward. Productive colonists watched lazy neighbors receive equal rations despite contributing nothing. The system "was found to breed much confusion and discontent" because it violated basic human incentives. People starved while fertile Massachusetts soil lay underworked. The turnaround came swiftly in 1623 when Bradford abandoned the collective model and assigned private family plots. Production exploded overnight. Women and children voluntarily joined field work when their families directly benefited from extra effort. The same colonists who nearly died under socialism suddenly produced abundant harvests under private property. Bradford explicitly credited private ownership for saving Plymouth Colony. He documented how individual responsibility transformed human behavior within a single growing season. Individual effort cannot be separated from individual reward without destroying both. Every socialist experiment since Plymouth has repeated this identical pattern. Different century, different continent, same predictable collapse when planners ignore the reality of human nature. No matter what they call it, whenever and wherever collectivist ideas are put into practice, disaster soon follows.

Antigone may be the origin of independent thought in Western literature. Here is a young woman who stands against the king, against the state, against the consensus of everyone around her, because she believes a higher law demands it. She buries her brother knowing it will cost her life. When I teach Sophocles to students, I don't start with literary analysis. I start with a question: "Have you ever known something was right even though everyone around you disagreed?" Every student has a story. The shy kid who wouldn't go along with bullying. The teenager who questioned a rule that seemed unjust. They know what it feels like to stand alone with their own conviction. Then we read Antigone, and suddenly a 2,500-year-old play becomes personal. What Sophocles teaches, and what no amount of lecturing about "critical thinking" can replicate, is the lived experience of watching someone reason through an impossible moral situation and choose based on principle. Students don't learn independent thought from being told to think independently. They learn it from inhabiting the minds of those who actually did. This is why I believe great literature is not a nice supplement to education. It's foundational. These texts are where young people encounter the full weight of what it means to think for yourself and accept the consequences.

Anyone who has read my book knows how I was treated in prison. I spent weeks in isolation for a misdemeanor trespassing charge. I was not able to call my wife and let her know I was okay. When she called the prison, they told her I didn't want to talk to her.
Nick Sortor@nicksortor

WTF? Magistrate judge Zia Faruqui in DC APOLOGIZED to the WHCA shooter Cole Allen for the "treatment" he's received so far in jail DC judges are an absolute JOKE. The man who attempted to KlLL PRESIDENT TRUMP doesn't like his cell conditions?! Tell him to go f*** himself

The Holodomor was a massive man-made famine engineered by the Soviet government of Joseph Stalin. The word literally means "death inflicted by starvation." It could happen only when the state controls the economy, including food production and distribution. "The Holodomor perfectly illustrates what happens when states control food production and distribution. Stalin confiscated grain to feed cities and export abroad while rural Ukraine descended into cannibalism."
Handre@Handre

Walter Duranty won the Pulitzer Prize in 1932 for systematically lying about the Ukrainian famine while 7 million people starved to death under Stalin's forced collectivization. The New York Times correspondent knew exactly what he was doing when he filed reports describing "shortages" and "food difficulties" instead of the mass starvation unfolding before his eyes. Duranty's articles praised Soviet agricultural policy even as entire villages disappeared. He wrote glowing accounts of collective farms while peasants ate bark and grass. When other journalists reported the truth about the Holodomor, Duranty dismissed their accounts as "malignant propaganda" and assured American readers that Stalin's five-year plan was working brilliantly. The Times promoted his coverage on the front page throughout 1932. Duranty lived in Moscow, traveled through Ukraine, and witnessed the consequences of central planning firsthand. He chose to cover for Stalin because he believed the Soviet experiment represented humanity's future. Like many Western intellectuals of his era, he convinced himself that millions of deaths were acceptable collateral damage for building socialism. The Pulitzer committee rewarded him for this moral bankruptcy. The Holodomor perfectly illustrates what happens when states control food production and distribution. Stalin confiscated grain to feed cities and export abroad while rural Ukraine descended into cannibalism. Free market economists had predicted exactly this outcome when central planners replaced price signals with bureaucratic decree. The Times has never recinded Duranty's Pulitzer Prize.

Winston Churchill fought his depression with bricks. He'd lay them for hours at his country home in Kent. He joined the bricklayers' union. And in 1921 he wrote about why it worked. It took psychology another 75 years to catch up. He called his depression the "Black Dog." It followed him for decades. His method for fighting it back was as basic as it sounds: laying brick after brick, hour after hour. Churchill spelled out his theory in a long essay for The Strand Magazine. People who think for a living, he wrote, can't fix a tired brain just by resting it. They have to use a different part of themselves. The part that moves the eyes and the hands. Woodworking, chemistry, bookbinding, bricklaying, painting. Anything that drags the body into a problem the mind can't solve by itself. Modern psychology now calls this behavioral activation. It's one of the most-studied depression treatments out there. Depression sets a behavior trap. You feel bad, so you stop doing things, and doing less means less to feel good about. Feeling worse makes you do even less. The loop tightens until you can't breathe inside it. Behavioral activation breaks the loop from the action side. You schedule the activity first, even when every part of you doesn't want to. Doing it produces small rewards: a wall gets straighter, a painting fills in, a messy room gets clean. Those small rewards slowly rewire the brain. Action comes first, and the feeling follows. Researchers at the University of Washington put this to the test in 2006. They studied 241 adults with major depression and compared three treatments: behavioral activation, regular talk therapy, and antidepressants. For the people who were most severely depressed, behavioral activation matched the drugs. It beat the talk therapy. A 2014 review of more than 1,500 patients across 26 trials backed up the result. Physical work like bricklaying does something extra on top of this. It crowds out rumination, the looping bad thoughts that grind people down during the worst stretches of depression. Bricklaying needs both hands and gives feedback brick by brick: each one is straight or crooked. After an hour you can see exactly how much wall you built. No room left for the mental chewing. The line George Mack used in his post, "depression hates a moving target," is good poetry. The science behind it is sharper. Depression hates a brain that has somewhere else to be.
George Mack@george__mack

Winston Churchill used to lay 200 bricks per day to keep his mind busy when feeling down. Depression hates a moving target.

Sweden seems to have finally implemented real immigration requirements: Sweden has just approved that to obtain citizenship, the following must be required: - You must have least 8 years of residence - You must have a stable income - You can't have received any benefits - You must succeed a comprehensive language exam as well as a Swedish values exam Migrants who don't fulfil these criteria won't be granted citizenship. Leftists in Sweden are absolutely freaking out about this, because their entire progressive agenda is being disrupted. I can't believe it took this long for a conservative populist government to finally do something the people voted for!

🚨 I was almost taken hostage in Cuba... I went to Cuba to document the humanitarian crisis and show life under 60+ years of communism and now amid the US blockade. Once I landed, they seized all my cameras except my iPhone and had intelligence agents following me all day until my security noticed their spies tailing us to the hotel where they waited all night for us to come down. Under communism there is no free speech, and those who show the reality or speak up are imprisoned. Me going without a planned Cuban government guide nearly got me and my security taken hostage or imprisoned. The situation in Cuba is much worse than anyone knows.
