@Stoneythorpe @Handre @elonmusk Perhaps, but what’s the membership and are they all leftist lunatics demanding menstrual products in men’s bathrooms (just one example)

@NemoNullius17 @Handre @elonmusk Japan's rail werkers are unionized

The Japanese railway privatization of 1987 stands as one of the most devastating defeats ever dealt to statist transportation mythology. The government split the bloated Japan National Railways into seven regional companies, sold them off, and watched private ownership transform a bankruptcy-bound disaster into the world's most efficient rail system. JNR hemorrhaged money for decades before privatization. By 1987, the state railway carried debt equivalent to $200 billion in today's money while delivering mediocre service plagued by strikes and inefficiency. Politicians treated it as a jobs program rather than a transportation service. The predictable result: chronic losses, deteriorating infrastructure, and customer service that reflected government monopoly arrogance. Private ownership changed everything overnight. The new JR companies slashed operating costs by 40% within five years while dramatically improving service quality. JR East alone now generates annual profits exceeding $3 billion. These companies invest billions in cutting-edge technology, maintain punctuality rates above 99%, and operate the world's most advanced high-speed rail networks. They achieved this without a single yen of operational subsidies. The transformation reveals a core dynamic of transportation infrastructure: private companies must satisfy customers to survive, while government monopolies need only satisfy politicians. JR companies diversified into real estate, retail, and hospitality around their stations, creating integrated profit centers that cross-subsidize rail operations. Government railways never innovate this way because bureaucrats face no market pressure to generate returns. Meanwhile, Amtrak burns through $2 billion in annual subsidies while delivering third-world service across most routes, and European state railways require massive taxpayer bailouts every few years to stay solvent.

I will never accept that. We are reclaiming our Country. The U.S. is not perfect but perfection is not of this world. Conceding defeat is not an option. Not if you love your kids. Take it as a fitness lesson. I love working out but recently I have had to fight disease, had to recover, had to be patient. I used to be able to do hundreds of pushups (not all at once but in groups of 25-40 with breaks) and not on my knees. Now I can maybe do 10 all at once with good form and then I stop because I have nothing to prove. I got myself to the point where I could do three good pull ups and now I struggle to hang on to a bar for a full minute. I make excuses. My lower back hurts. Do I give up? That’s not an option. That way decrepitude and an early grave. I am going to lace up my shoes and go for a run. Put in the good fight. Don’t sit by the sidelines.

@NemoNullius17 @Handre @elonmusk Maybe too far gone.

Finally! I have been saying this for years. The .@ADL allowed itself by the hijacked by the .@DNC and became a tentacle in the democrat party machine. Cruelly incompetent and indifferent to Jewish concerns. The same happened to the .@SierraClub I am so old that I remember that the Sierra Club would not let my father join because he was an immigrant and the Sierra Club was so concerned with conservancy that it viewed both legal and illegal immigration as a burden on the environment. Same for workers unions. I remember an interview when the head of a workers union claimed that immigrant nurses were inferior to American Nurses even when educated here because they were by culture too deferential to doctors. All of these entities already leaning left were chewed up and spit out by the .@DNC into unrecognizable tentacles of the same monster. Audit the .@DNC

Speaking as a Jew: ADL is NOT a Jewish organization. It is an ultra-left activist org that pushes radical transgenderism, border erasure, police dismantlement, and the demolition of free speech—deploying rank slander, bullying and character assassination to achieve its aims. These views and tactics are expressly contrary to sacred Jewish and biblical teaching. When justly criticized, ADL and its defenders falsely claim anti-Semitism, thereby diminishing all past and present victims of anti-Semitism. In fact, conflating criticism of ADL with criticism of Jews is itself an anti-Semitic trope. Bottom line: ADL is a disreputable organization that has gravely undermined Jewish interests and is worthy of the strongest condemnation.

@SeattleIndepen1 @walterkirn Yep

The collapse of the SPLC also reaches far beyond their activities. It introduces the public to the idea that many organizations are not what they seem and utilize infiltration and subversion to destroy perceived rivals. We are going to learn that a lot of American decline was not mere market forces, entropy, “changes in society,” etc. it’s been an inside job carried out with ruthless covert means.

Make no mistake, the SPLC collapse is an event in modern religious history. It's like the destruction of a temple or something. That significant.

Yesterday I drove my @tesla 900 miles on FSD from Miami to Nashville and I realized it’s genuinely the better option. I fly that route 2 to 3 times a month. Flights are never under $400. Most times $600. Sometimes $800. Add Uber to and from both airports, or parking garage fees. Then factor in the delays, the cancellations, the security theater, the chaos, the guy next to you who hasn’t met deodorant yet. On the other hand: I pack healthy snacks, press one button, and the car just goes. I took calls. Replied to emails. FaceTimed my family. Ate without pulling over. Did everything I normally do on a travel day, except none of the stuff that makes travel days miserable. My biggest concern going in was range and charging. Here’s what actually happened: My bladder needed one extra stop the car didn’t even suggest. Most charging stops were under five minutes. Total cost for the whole trip was less than just the uber to the airport. And this was the base model Y. Now I’m thinking I should get something comfier and just make this the default.

SPLC got better returns than Nancy Pelosi and inverse Cramer combined!

Incentives explain outcomes. Actually eliminating hatred would end the existence of “anti-hate” groups, so groups like SPLC amplified hatred instead to get more donations.

Absolutely! However, haven’t we learned that when we allow leftists to indoctrinate children the whole country goes down the shitter? Not to Mention the taxpayers money that gets transferred willy nilly into the pockets of degenerates with an agenda to destroy our Country? Sure. Take your children out of government school. Your own kids should always come first, but let’s save our Country too!

@NemoNullius17 @Handre @elonmusk Home school.

North Carolina!!!! WTF! .@NCLeg

🚨 WHY IS SPLC SENDING MILLIONS TO THE CAYMAN ISLANDS? The Southern Poverty Law Center now holds a massive endowment of roughly $732–738 million (as of late 2024), with total net assets exceeding $780 million. A large portion of this money is invested in high-risk hedge funds, private equity, and other alternative assets. Much of it flows through offshore tax havens like the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and the British Virgin Islands. In 2014 alone, the SPLC sent over $5.62 million to Cayman Islands offshore entities. That same year, its reported direct “case cost” legal expenses were only $1.86 million — just a tiny fraction of its total contributions and grants. For a nonprofit that raises hundreds of millions from donors by sounding alarms about “hate” and extremism, why is so much money being sent to offshore tax havens instead of going directly to programs? What are they hiding? 🤔

➡️Yesterday in the @NCHouseGovOps that I Co-chaired, one thing was made crystal clear... If you are exposing minors as young as 4 years old to explicit materials, you're breaking the law, and @NCHouseGOP will not continue to fund your criminal activities. #ncpol @NCGOP @polkncgop @RCNCGOP @McDowell_NC_GOP @HendersonCtyGOP

@FBIDirectorKash @TheJusticeDept Why don’t we go after congressional insider trading with the same level of energy?

🚨 Last summer I weaseled into the terrorist trade show, excuse me, the 'People's Conference for Palestine' in Detroit, Michigan. Thousands of attendees honored Hamas snipers like Anas al-Sharif. Seminars were taught in back rooms about how to 'flood the zone' on social media for "Palestine," and normalize Islamic practices and messaging at our universities and lower schools. There were calls for violent uprisings and distribution of terrorist propaganda, which is a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 2339B, lending material support to U.S.-designated terror organizations. Hamas supporters gave instructions on how to take over your workplace, your local political offices, and force them to discuss "Palestine" as much as humanly possible, and "Make Gaza the Compass." I was tweeting like a lunatic from the convention, begging our FBI to address this national security threat. They did nothing. Absolutely nothing. This all happened under our DoJ and FBI. It was ignored. Radical Islamic organizations with ties to foreign funding sponsored this event. They're on track to host another one this summer. Over 4000 people attended this convention on American soil.

I'm a Druze from Sweidaa and I absolutely concur. In July 2025, the jihadist goal was to wipe out the Druze forever. Every fucking "free country," including European countries and the USA, looked away, awaiting the murder to conclude, except Israel, which stopped the massacre. We will not forget who saved us from these savage hordes.
