Socialists, and other authoritarians, love to argue about who to tax and how much. This distracts from the discussion about cutting govt. spending. Which, of course, is the real problem.

Corporations hate their customers - this is another data point supporting that.

I don’t think holding our Republican Senators accountable is an attack. We have the majority & voters expect/demand results.

Cows are vegan and they confer enormous benefits to the fields that they graze on. Ask a regenerative rancher. Some humans chose to be vegan, which does enormous damage to arable land through mono-cropping. Kills a lot of little critters too.

The United States Government is a full on grift machine. Washington has already confiscated trillions from taxpayers. Then it borrowed trillions more against their children. Now the national debt is approaching $40 trillion. Healthcare is still unaffordable. College is still overpriced. Housing is still out of reach. The schools are still failing. All of these problems are due to government interference. And the people who produced this disaster now want Elon Musk’s wealth because they swear this next pile of money will finally be spent wisely. Bullshit. They already took the money. They already spent the money. They already failed. Stealing another trillion from a man who built companies, factories, satellites, cars, and jobs will not make government competent. It will only transfer wealth from the people who create it to the people who incinerate it.

Who could use Elon Musk's trillion dollars to provide more benefit for humanity: Elon Musk or the U.S. Government?

Given how effective Elon is at using capital for wealth creation, the govt should exempt him from all taxes. That would be a win for the country and make looney left heads explode every where. Ka-boom.

LA Democrat election stealing fraud allegations, a partial list: 1. Late mail-in ballot surges favoring Democrats 2. "Ballot drops" or updates with zero votes for Pratt 3. Homeless/unhoused voter fraud 4. Targeted rejection or mishandling of mail ballots 5. Broader "structural vulnerabilities" and slow counting as enabling fraud

If I had a time machine, I would go back and prevent the sacking and burning of the Library of Alexandria. Or, at least, digitize everything in it and bring it back with me.

It's absolutely insane that the @EdmontonOilers are hiring Mike Babcock as head coach. His past behavior clearly demonstrates that he's a sub-clinical psychopath. WTF?

Two Different Leadership Approaches. Two Very Different Outcomes. Several years ago, Popeyes chose franchisee-first listening: Corporate asked operators “How can we help?” — and paid attention - a true Lean-style partnership model. Result: Explosive growth, menu breakthroughs, and a thriving franchise system. Recently, Pizza Hut imposed top-down mandates: Head office forced its new Dragontail AI delivery system and national DoorDash contract on franchisees, overriding proven local setups. One standout operator — Chaac Pizza Northeast (111 stores, highly rated, previously strong growth and >90% on-time deliveries) — saw performance collapse: deliveries dropped to ~50% on-time, cold food, plummeting customer satisfaction, and sharp sales declines. They are now suing Pizza Hut for over $100 million in damages. This is a textbook example of top-down management from Pizza Hut leadership — arrogant, disconnected, and destructive. Ignoring the people actually running the restaurants isn’t “strategic excellence.” It’s myopic MBA incompetence that destroys value and franchisee trust. Corporations need to pay attention to the people on the frontlines, instead sitting in their ivory towers and thinking that they know better. Respect for people - Taiichi Ohno

Western governments have engineered the greatest anti-natal program in human history, and most people are completely unaware of the causes or consequences. Birth rates across Europe, East Asia, and North America have collapsed below replacement levels. Governments systematically destroyed the economic foundations that make family formation possible. You cannot afford children when the state inflates away your purchasing power, taxes your income at confiscatory rates, then forces you to fund the retirements of previous generations through Social Security ponzi schemes. A middle-class American couple faces effective marginal tax rates exceeding 50% when you include federal income tax, state tax, payroll taxes, property taxes, and sales taxes. Meanwhile, monetary debasement ensures that housing costs consume 40% of median income versus 15% in 1970. The regulatory state makes every aspect of child-rearing exponentially more expensive. Occupational licensing cartels inflate childcare costs. Zoning laws prevent affordable family housing. Department of Education mandates drive up school costs while destroying quality. FDA approval processes make basic medicines cost 10x their market price. Each regulation serves entrenched interests while pricing out young families. Economic policy shapes demographics. When governments prioritize immediate consumption over capital formation, present voters over future families, and welfare recipients over productive workers, birth rate collapse becomes inevitable. The state subsidizes the childless while penalizing parents through the tax code and monetary policy. Politicians promise family tax credits and paid leave programs to solve the crisis they created. They offer you breadcrumbs from your own stolen wealth while maintaining the very policies that make children unaffordable. The solution requires abolishing the systems that broke family formation, not expanding them.

Does anybody remember the Spinach Inquisition? That was where they didn't torture you in the conventional sense - they made you eat spinach (torture 1) until you developed kidney stones from the oxalates (torture 2).

Nutrition is a scam, i.e., the conventional wisdom on nutrition.

The primary purpose of jailing criminals is not punishment or to reform them, It's to remove them from civilsed society.

I created Hoaxology AI, an AI tool that gives you propaganda and persuasion analysis for anything you feed it: X posts, speech transcripts, articles, URLs. It is trained on the Hoaxology framework I created, as well as common and not so common propaganda, persuasion, and maniuplation techniques. Users get a shareable link of each analysis they can share with the brainwashed. Check it out and please share if you find it useful!

This is the way, especially the beef tallow fries. Thank you.

If science were never to be questioned, your doctor would still be recommending a particular brand of cigarette to settle the nerves. You'd be dosing the baby with heroin cough syrup, because Bayer sold it over the counter. You'd be rubbing cocaine on its gums for teething, and the chemist would recommend the stronger tube. The DDT lorry would still come round to fog the street while the children carried on playing in the spray. Your surgeon would be reaching for the icepick, because the man who pioneered the lobotomy was given a Nobel Prize for it. Pregnant women would be handed thalidomide for their morning sickness, with a reassuring pat on the shoulder. You'd be drinking radium tonic for your energy and brushing with radioactive toothpaste for the glow. Stomach ulcers would still be filed under "stress," and the man who proved they were bacterial would still be a laughing stock. Butter would be the villain and margarine the heart-healthy hero, on the firmest medical advice going. Lead would still be in your petrol, your paint and your water pipes, certified harmless by the people selling it. All of it, in its day, was the consensus. Settled. Beyond polite debate. "Settled science" is the phrase people reach for when they would quite like you to stop asking questions.

The Holodomor proves what free market economists have been saying for a century: when you kill price signals, you kill people. Soviet central planners deliberately starved 5 to 7 million Ukrainians and other Soviet citizens in 1932-33, all while exporting grain to maintain their political image abroad. Stalin's regime had already collectivized agriculture, destroying the kulaks who actually knew how to farm efficiently. Without private property rights or market prices to coordinate production, Soviet agriculture collapsed into chronic shortages. The party then doubled down and seized whatever grain remained from starving peasants. You can see the pure evil of central planning in the details. While Ukrainians ate bark and grass, Stalin exported 1.7 million tons of grain in 1933 alone. His officials knew exactly what they were doing: they confiscated seed grain needed for the next harvest and posted guards around collective farms to prevent anyone from leaving to find food elsewhere. The Soviet state created artificial scarcity through price controls, production quotas, and the systematic elimination of private farming. When reality conflicted with their economic plan, they chose to let millions die rather than admit that markets work and socialism kills. Yet you still hear people today defending "democratic socialism" or claiming central planning just needs better implementation. Every single time someone argues for price controls or government management of food distribution, they're advocating for the same mechanism that murdered those 7 million souls.

I take one supplement on carnivore. Iodine. About 20mg a day, and I've done that for years. This is the part where a certain kind of person reaches for the word "toxic" like it's a defibrillator. Here is the thing nobody wants to sit with. Iodine used to be everywhere. It was in the soil, in the bread, where they added it deliberately, and in the milk. Then we swapped iodine for bromine in flour, doused the water supply in chlorine and fluorine, and acted surprised when thyroids across the developed world started behaving like they'd been made redundant. Bromine, chlorine and fluorine are halogens. So is iodine. They sit in the same column of the periodic table and they compete for the same parking spaces in your body. Flood the environment with the cheap ones and they squat in the receptors iodine is meant to occupy. Your thyroid then does its best impression of a working thyroid while running on fumes. The toxicity panic is built almost entirely on people confusing a detox reaction with poisoning. Push iodine in and the body starts evicting the bromine it had quietly been storing. The eviction is not always comfortable. That discomfort then gets written up online as "iodine is dangerous," which is a bit like blaming the bin men for the smell of the bins. I'm not a doctor and I'm certainly not your doctor. If you have a diagnosed thyroid condition, go and have the conversation with someone who can look at your actual neck. But for me? Years at 20mg a day. No drama. A genuine, noticeable lift in energy that I wasn't expecting and didn't talk myself into. One supplement. The one the modern world quietly took off the table
