What ridiculous ahistorical snobbery. Teddy Roosevelt was one of America's greatest presidents and he regularly staged combat sports at the White House, even fighting in boxing matches and jujitsu. Like Donald Trump, he saw physical courage and tough competition as virtues intrinsic to America. The sneering of Dems and effete broadsheet journalists reveals their pusillanimity, not the sophistication they imagine. How embarrassing for them.
David Brooks reacts to the upcoming UFC fight at the White House, "I first thought of, like, who are the artists John F. Kennedy brought to the White House? It was like W.H. Auden, Robert Frost, Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein. And now we have got cage fighting. Don't anybody say America's in cultural decline." Jonathan Capehart adds "talk about degrading the culture. This is degrading the White House, degrading the people's house. And it's just unconscionable that this has happened."

🚨 UPDATE: In a jaw-dropping announcement, Energy Secretary Chris Wright has declared the Department of Energy is returning over $13 BILLION in unobligated American taxpayer funds to the U.S. Treasury, initially appropriated to fuel the Joe Biden's wasteful green new scam agenda.

Obama's nuclear deal with Iran was so bad even Biden didn't reinstitute it. @POTUS was right to tear it up.

The timeline is filled to the brim with 95-IQ midwits saying things like "it's crazy that poverty still exists and we have a trillionaire" Oblivious to the fact 'The War on Poverty' started 62 years ago, the welfare state is exponentially larger, and poverty is unchanged.

Reports indicate IRGC forces have opened fire on fellow IRGC members as internal tensions and infighting within Iran’s regime has escalated. @TousiTVOfficial
The negotiations with the leadership and pro-Regime supporters inside Iran are not going quite so well. They go about doing business very differently over there, though.
Community note
The video depicts Iraqi police dispersing pro-Iran protesters near the US embassy in Baghdad, not IRGC infighting in Iran. aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed… instagram.com/reel/DVXb5TJFk…

Wind and solar are not viable as the world's primary energy source, not without endless backup from the dense baseload power of hydrocarbons. Because renewable components face a strict 20-year operating life, we have inadvertently created an economic monster: a continuous loop of decommissioning, ransacking rare earth mines, and rebuilding the entire global fleet just to maintain the status quo - a material dead end. Without fossil fuels to power the underlying mining, manufacturing and transport infrastructure, these wind and solar systems wouldn't even exist. Once installed, their intermittent energy cannot be integrated on a national scale without a completely new, parallel global power grid—an infrastructure sinkhole estimated to cost $21 trillion. This massive building spree was only enabled by generous, ongoing subsidies from compliant governments, drawn into the vortex by a carefully engineered narrative of guilt over human progress. That narrative has struck home. Today, the Western nations that bought into it are in visible economic decline, with heavy industry vanishing and productive jobs being hollowed out. Wind and solar gained traction as a boutique alternative based on the naive premise that because wind and sunlight are 'free', the infrastructure to capture them must be too. In reality, they are intensely material-heavy, placing unprecedented pressure on mining capabilities for ever-diminishing metals and rare earths. To put the scale of this replacement loop into perspective, the global fleet represents the equivalent of 1.3 billion wind turbine units and 7 to 8 billion solar panels—all ticking down toward a 20-year shelf life. According to McKinsey estimates, the total net-zero transition is currently costing an estimated $9.2 trillion every year, projecting to a staggering $275 trillion by 2050—the equivalent of two full years of global GDP. Yet, after 37 years of this non-stop narrative, hydrocarbons still provide roughly 81% of the world's primary energy. We are chasing butterflies at the expense of industrial sovereignty. Was it only about rising globalism? Already, communities are pushing back, seeking to ban massive turbine blade graveyards and toxic solar panel e-waste from local landfill sites. Ultimately, an energy strategy detached from physical and economic reality is destined to fail, leaving these imperfect technologies scattered as rusted wreckage across once-pristine landscapes and coastal horizons. Without reliable energy, a modern world simply wouldn't exist. Image: We should not take the majesty of these natural landscapes for granted.

A plumber knows more about plumbing than you. A pilot knows more about flying than you. A scientist usually knows more about science than you. That doesn’t make them automatically right. But it does mean the burden of proof is on the person claiming thousands of experts got it wrong. Science isn’t a democracy. It’s not decided by likes, vibes, or confidence. It’s decided by evidence. And evidence doesn’t care who wins the argument.

Here is: Chairman and editor-in-chief of Forbes, Steve Forbes: The g’ddamn Somali Ilhan Omar and her white husband are running a money laundering operation in broad daylight. “It’s amazing how people can go into Congress and then become these entrepreneurial investing geniuses, where they come in, she had under $1,000 of net worth, and her husband didn't have much, and suddenly now they're multimillionaires. Is there a money laundering operation here — something is not right” “That $30 million came from sources that are illegal, period.”

NYC wasn’t your home. You were a rude guest and shown the door.
New York has been my home for the last 3.5 years and I've been lucky to witness all the great things happening in the city. Above all, I'm grateful for its people, their warmth, love, and solidarity. Thank you to the 33 NY lawmakers who sent a joint letter to DHS demanding an immediate end to the politically-motivated removal proceedings against me, and to @SenatorBrisport for leading this effort. nysenate.gov/newsroom/press-…

Jasmine Crockett says that Karmelo Anthony was justified in stabbing Austin Metcalf to death: "He decided to go under a tent and simply didn't want to be put out on the rain by some kid he didn't know... There was no mercy seen when this black boy said 'I was scared.'"

I don't see how a peace deal could be so fragile, or so imminent for that matter, that it could be derailed by an Israeli strike on Beirut. Then again, I am comforted to know that if a deal is consummated and then Iran inevitably violates it, Trump can still finish the job. I am also comforted in knowing Iran won't be smart enough to behave until the next administration takes office.

Hasan Piker wants us to ignore reality and believe him when he says Elon Musk is a failure. He doesn’t want us to be inspired be Elon’s success and the value that he has brought to this world. He wants us to resent it and think Elon got lucky. He wants us to idiotically think that Elon failed his way into a $1 trillion net worth. He wants us to think Capitalism is bad and doesn’t work. So he has to lie on Elon Musk to try to get us to think capitalism is bad and socialism is good.

There’s been a lot of anti-Elon Musk rhetoric over the last few days. Here’s the heart of it. They don’t hate him because he became a trillionaire. They hate him because he found a way to bypass their media monopoly and give the people a voice.
