Thank Heaven for the First Amendment in America!

The truth is called hateful in Belgium. Therefore speaking it is against the law. This is more frightening than calling the truth "misinformation". They have stopped pretending completely. They are openly admitting that they have criminalized the truth.

As a young socialist, Hayek read Ludwig von Misesโ 1920 paper โEconomic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth.โ
Mises showed that socialist central planning isnโt merely inefficient, itโs impossible.
Without private property and genuine market prices, planners lack any rational way to allocate scarce resources or determine real costs and needs.
Even Oskar Lange, a leading socialist in the calculation debate, effectively conceded the point.
While he promoted โmarket socialismโ with trial-and-error pricing by a central board, real-world socialist planners in Eastern Europe quietly relied on world capitalist market prices as a guide.
Without external free-market price signals, pure socialism would be economically blind and coordination would collapse.
Mises went further, arguing that interventionism, the โmiddle wayโ of government meddling, is inherently unstable.
Each intervention creates problems that invite more interventions, eventually leading to full socialization.
Price controls cause shortages, subsidies distort production, and the cycle continues until the economy is fully planned.
The lesson is clear.
Rational economics requires genuine market prices emerging from voluntary exchange and private property.
Half-measures donโt stabilize the system. They accelerate the drift into central planning.
The Austrian School understood this decades before the collapse of the Soviet bloc proved it in practice.

@MKnowlesShow @michaeljknowles My pastor has opinions about AI and heโs a lot more inspired than the Pope

Pope Leo just dropped a major encyclical on AI.
@michaeljknowles breaks down what the encyclical is, and what it isnโt:

A teacher took her students on a school trip to a mosque.
An Imam taught the children about Islam, showed the girls how to wear burqas, and instructed everyone to kneel for prayer.
Only one boy refused to kneel down.
Fire this woke teacher?
A. Yes
B. No

@newstart_2024 โFor by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.โ
So stop trying so hard, thereโs nothing to prove. Christ did it all. Repent and live in Him
English
โTo believe in God is to commit your life.โ
Jordan Peterson dropped that on the Shawn Ryan Show and it stopped me cold.
Itโs not saying โI believe.โ Itโs volunteering for the cross โ betrayal, unjust suffering, staring down hell, and still stepping forward with courage. The real imitation of Christ. Most who wear the label have no idea what theyโre actually signing up for.
Iโve been wrestling with how cheap modern belief has become. Easy words. Brutal reality.
In a world full of performative faith and slogans, this cuts straight to the difference between nodding along and actually living the pattern when it costs everything.
This one hit like a gut check.
What does real commitment look like to you โ in faith, work, or relationships?

@MarcoFoster_ Our Creator told us to subdue nature and rule over it.
Also to bring the Goods News to those living in darkness

Harrison Ford: โHumanity is a part of nature, not above it. We need cultural change. We need to extend social justice. We need to respect and elevate the indigenous people that are being marginalized, and in many cases, killed in cold blood. The world youโre stepping into, the world my generation left you, is a real messโ

Professor Gad Saad: โSay Goodbye To America, itโs all Overโ
Gad Saad says America will fall to Islam, and we will allow it to happen
He categorizes it as a โStage 4 cancerโ
โWe are approaching stage 4, but there is a cure. Here's where I get pessimistic. The problem is that there is no indication that the West has the stomach and the testicular fortitude to actually implement what is easily available.
So for example, when it comes to immigrants, any immigrant that belongs to an ideology that has tenets that are contrary to the Western tradition, that ideology should be banned. And you can't use the freedom of religion argument to render us all impotent as we go to the abyss of infinite lunacy. So there is a way to solve it.
I worry that nobody has the ability to do soโ
What heโs talking about is Hijrah (Islamic migration for conquest), combined with higher birth rates and exploiting Western freedoms and guilt against itself
He says Islamist theorists have openly declared this strategy, and the West lacks the testicular fortitude to respond with ideological vetting and bans on doctrines opposing liberal democracy. Mainly sharia supremacism
There is a โcureโ
- Ban immigration from groups whose core ideology conflicts with Western traditions
- Reject โfreedom of religionโ as a shield for supremacist political ideologies
- Prioritize cultural compatibility over empathy signaling
Literally common sense

Theyโre still coming after us
Theyโll find a reason to get that toxin into us eventually
I was in emergency recently and the second question I was asked was โare you vaccinated for COVID 19?
English
If you're unvaccinated, you resisted global propaganda worth over 100 billion dollars.
The fact that you withstood such intense pressure shows how strong you are, making you a rare breed in a time when that kind of backbone is nearly extinct.
Be proud of yourself.

England changed the world for the better.
We gave humanity the Industrial Revolution, parliamentary democracy, common law, the English language, modern science and the abolition of the slave trade.
Now they demand we apologise for it.
We reject that completely.
This is our England. Our legacy. Our future.
My England for the English.
England. True Grit. Restore.
The battle march is on.
No apologies. No surrender.

@MadDogBrit That happened when you were still English
But that England is gone
And so the Falklands go back to Argentina

The Falklands are British.
In 1982 we sent a Task Force 8,000 miles to take them back. We fought a real war against Argentina. 255 British servicemen died. 655 were wounded. Three Falkland Islanders were murdered. We paid for these islands in British blood. The people who actually live there voted 99.8% to remain British.
The Falklands are British territory. British soil. British forever.
We are not giving them up. Not now. Not ever. No apologies. No surrender.
