Total Boomer Luxury Communism is an existential threat to America. And this rhetoric below contributes to it. Democrats want to take ~$25 trillion more in taxes on from younger workers, just because they think retired millionaire households deserve $100k plus a year. Note the language: "your social security." Seniors, your social security doesn't exist anywhere. Your benefits are paid for by younger people's taxes, today. It's not "your social security" - it's "our payroll taxes." Further, Dems want to jack up spending on Medicare and Medicaid, which means tens of trillions more in additional taxes on younger workers. And we haven't talked about interest payments on the $39 trillion in national debt yet.

Pregame festivities at the @FIFAWorldCup in Philly

Philly for the @FIFAWorldCup! @FEFecuador v @football_civ tomorrow at the Linc!

83 - Chris Richards completed all 83 passes he attempted for the #USMNT against Paraguay, the most passes with a 100 percent accuracy rate by any player in a FIFA World Cup match since 1966. Perfection.

Inject this finish into our veins 🇺🇸

My lad has just asked me what's the best ever goal scored at the World Cup. Told him this without hesitation. Everything about it.

CEI will honor economist Donald J. Boudreaux with the 2026 Julian L. Simon Memorial Award at its annual dinner on September 23 at the Library of Congress. Mick Ebeling will deliver the keynote, and Lindsay Chervinsky will serve as emcee. The award recognizes Julian Simon’s legacy and the role of human ingenuity in driving economic progress and innovation. cei.org/news_releases/cei-an…

Remembering Grant Wahl

Maybe the foreigners have it right. Maybe the eagle and the flyover and the canyon and the kindness of a stranger with car keys really are worth crossing an ocean to see. Maybe, watching them fall in love with the place we take for granted, we could fall in love with it again ourselves and decide to be a little more charitable to the neighbor God told us to love, even when we cannot stand how he votes. ewerickson.substack.com/p/th…

Bad news for consumers:

My guest for Episode 177 of @freethe_economy is @aier's @thomas_savidge. We talk about state budgets, pensions, government employee unions, and the possibility of a federal bailout: youtube.com/watch?v=3QP9iY9d… (2/2)

Mental how this one minute and nineteen second video has just made me incredibly excited for the World Cup ITV know how to do an intro don’t they 🤩

With reports of efforts to marry risky kids’ online safety bills (age verification for all!) to still in draft-form AI preemption legislation, it’s important to remember that the problems with Kids Online Safety Act and App Store Accountability Act persist. @alex_reinauer @melugin_p

As Arsenal won the title, Stan Kroenke was in an NFL meeting, and immediately congratulated by other Premier League owners there That, lamentably, doesn’t happen without how great USA 94 was Diana Ross’s miss and all… “We laughed” independent.co.uk/sport/foot…

Ça fait un moment que je me pose des questions sur le bilan (provisoire) de Milei en Argentine. On lit tout et son contraire. Alors j'ai arrêté de lire les commentaires et j'ai regardé les chiffres bruts. L'Argentine, c'est l'expérience grandeur nature que les économistes attendaient depuis 50 ans. Même pays. Même peuple. Même culture. On change UNE variable : la méthode économique. Avant : des décennies de gestion étatiste et péroniste, "redistributive". Le résultat concret ? 211% d'inflation, 42% de pauvreté, un État en déficit permanent qui finance son train de vie en faisant tourner la planche à billets. Puis arrive Milei. Méthode inverse, brutale, assumée : on coupe, on déréglemente, on arrête d'imprimer. Deux ans plus tard (photo à son arrivée (fin 2023) vs aujourd'hui) : Inflation annuelle : 211% → 31% Inflation mensuelle : 25% → ~2% Déficit public : −5% du PIB → 1,8% (excédent) Croissance : −1,6% → 4,4% Pauvreté : 42% → 28% Sans débat. Jugez par vous-mêmes. Et le point essentiel : ces gains ne vont pas "aux riches" ou "aux marchés". Ils vont d'abord aux plus pauvres. L'inflation est l'impôt le plus injuste qui existe — elle frappe ceux qui n'ont aucun actif pour se protéger. La diviser par 7, c'est rendre du pouvoir d'achat à ceux d'en bas. Et 14 points de pauvreté en moins, ce sont des millions de gens, pas une ligne Excel. Pendant un siècle, on a expliqué aux Argentins que l'État les protégerait en dépensant toujours plus. Résultat : un des pays les plus riches du monde en 1910, ruiné. On vient d'inverser la méthode. Regardez le résultat. À un moment, il faut accepter ce que les faits racontent : sur le terrain économique, la méthode libérale a livré en deux ans ce que des décennies de socialisme avaient promis sans jamais tenir. Et ça profite d'abord aux plus modestes. On peut détester le style de Milei — la tronçonneuse, l'outrance, les sorties improbables, il n'a rien d'un homme d'État classique. Mais on ne juge pas une politique économique au style de celui qui la mène. On la juge à ce qu'elle fait à la vie des gens. Et les chiffres ont parlé.

I’m not crying you are. North London Forever belted out by travelling Gooners before Arsenal play PSG in the 2026 Champions League final here at the Puskas Arena in Budapest ❤️

Arrived in Budapest this am, and on the bus to the city center there was a group of 10 guys from PSG Montreal. They were speaking French the whole time, but when they got off the bus, one of them looked at me and said “What do you think of Tottenham?!” Setting off a chorus of that song. More proof: No matter what happens, the joke is always on Tottenham!

After almost seven years at this club, it’s hard to put into words what this moment means to me. I arrived at this club when I was 18 years old. Far from home, barely speaking the language, trying to adapt to a completely new culture, new life and chasing a dream that felt so big at the time. I didn’t know exactly what the future would hold, but I knew I wanted to give everything for this club. We didn’t just build a team, we built a family, an identity, and something the fans could believe in again. To see this club back where it belongs is one of the proudest moments of my career. I want to thank my family, thank everyone at the club, the staff, my teammates, and every person working behind the scenes. Most importantly, thank you to the fans. Your support, patience and love throughout these years never went unnoticed. You stayed with us through the difficult moments, and this title belongs to you as much as anyone. This club changed my life. I will always be grateful for the privilege of wearing this shirt. PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 🏆
