Multiculture is just another word for Empire. Empires can't be governed by democracy. We discarded the melting pot and then later discovered that's where we kept the democracy.

Thomas Massie is America first. And for that he is under attack by all enemies foreign and domestic.

Despite several betrayals, the current administration is still doing some good things.
New: Data on Asylum Cases: “The Trump administration has dismissed more than 100 immigration judges out of about 750 in place when Mr. Trump returned to power, an unprecedented purge. The results of this purge, or aggressive supervision, have been excellent. Across the board, immigration judges are denying asylum claims at unprecedented levels and ordering aliens deported at rates previously unheard of. DOJ Judges have approved asylum claims in fewer than 10 percent of cases this year” compared to Biden Admin average of 42 percent. @theamgreatness Source: amgreatness.com/2026/04/19/n…

Here's why there will be no Iran deal. Iran is a rational actor. A rational state does not use nuclear weapons offensively against a nuclear-armed adversary. MAD holds. The strategic value of an Iranian nuke is that it makes Iran riskier to attack. The nuclear issue is a red herring. The US and Israel don't fear an Iranian bomb. They fear an Iran that can't be easily attacked. Iran's conventional deterrent already achieves much of this. The strait, ballistic missiles, and drones impose unacceptable costs. Any deal the US and Israel would accept requires Iran to surrender these. Surrendering them means surrendering the ability to survive. No rational actor surrenders the ability to survive. Therefore there will be war. *If the Iranians are the lunatics their adversaries need them to be, the argument collapses.

🚨 🧵 1. Why the loss of trust in the media? It might have something to do with the Supreme Court’s ruling in NY Times v. Sullivan (1964).

Israel just blew up a public high school in Marwahin, South Lebanon. Not a military base. A school.

Fresh rage bait: Right now only Israel has nukes, which is why it can destroy and invade its neighbors. To balance Israel's power, a 2nd country in the Middle East should also have nukes. Mutual assured destruction. Side benefit: terrorism would stop.

The first thing a prisoner loses is privacy. The first thing a free person demands is privacy. Prisons are designed around the removal of privacy. Open cells. Monitored showers. Recorded phone calls. Supervised visits. Every moment visible to guards. Strip someone's privacy and you strip their autonomy. They can't plan. Can't organize. Can't have an unobserved thought that leads to an unmonitored action. That's not a side effect of incarceration. That's the point. Now look at your digital life. Every transaction recorded. Every message scannable. Every location tracked. Every search indexed. Every connection mapped. Every pattern analyzed. You live in an open cell. The key difference between you and a prisoner is the level of awareness. Prisoners know they're being watched. Freedom isn't the absence of walls. It's the presence of doors you can close. Rooms you control. Spaces where you exist unobserved, unrecorded, unmeasured. Privacy isn't what guilty people want. It's what free people have. The distinction tells you everything about which side of the door you're standing on.

It took the US 20 years to replace the Taliban with the Taliban, but only 9 days to replace Khamenei with Khamenei

It’s going unnoticed because so much other news is happening, but the war drums are beating again in D.C. The warmongers worry this is their last chance to get the white whale they’ve been chasing for thirty years, an all-out regime change war against Iran. A new Middle East war would be a catastrophic mistake. Our military stockpiles are depleted from three years of backing Ukraine. Our effort to reshore manufacturing has only just begun and will take years to bear fruit. War would worsen our already immense deficit and national debt. Iran is larger than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined. A war would not be easy and could easily become a calamity. Thanks to President Trump’s restraint during his first term, America has a golden opportunity to pull away from Middle East quagmires for good. We shouldn’t throw that opportunity away so that sone D.C. has-beens can feel tough by sending young Americans to die yet again.

We've all read our share of AI articles. This one is in its own class. The author is deep in the business yet he gains nothing by informing us. Everyone needs to read his article. For years I've been worried about debt-induced inflation/devaluation. But AI, as a leap in productivity, will be a force for deflation. So we'll very soon have gigantic forces of inflation and deflation battling. The monetary future has never been so uncertain.

What Compassionate (and Sane) EBT Would Look Like From a real economist. It's simpler than you imagined. Economists like me are largely to blame for the calamity that is government food welfare. We proved beyond all doubt that a welfare program can deliver more and better food, at lower cost, by simply giving poor people money, so they can buy food in the private market. The government took our stupid advice and replaced soup kitchens with SNAP and WIC and EBT. Like most economists' advice, ours was correct, in the sense that it followed logically from our assumptions. And like most economists' advice, it was a disaster in practice. Economists (I am one) showed you how to deliver high-quality food to poor people at low cost, which solved the exact wrong problem. The three goals of food welfare should be, in order of urgency: 1. Prevent starvation. 2. Get people off food welfare. 3. Minimize costs. You don't achieve Goal 2, getting people off food welfare, by giving them great food. I trust I don't need to explain why, though leftists will (as always) pretend they don't understand. The very premise of SNAP and WIC and EBT is disastrous. Food welfare should not deliver good food at low cost; it should deliver terrible food at low cost. Amazingly, free government cheese is a BETTER food welfare program than SNAP, EBT, or WIC, because people eventually get tired of eating cheese, especially that orange powdered stuff. Here is the only government food welfare we need: Unlimited free Power Bars. Power Bars taste terrible, but they are nutritious. That's our model for food welfare. If you want to improve it, find a way to make Power Bars taste worse, and maybe dry them up a little, so they crumble in our mouth like an aspirin tablet and have to be taken with water. Why unlimited? Why not restrict the free Power Bars to the poor? Because we shouldn't force people to prove they are poor. Proving we are poor wastes time, requires us to pay useless bureaucrats, and encourages us to actually BE poor. So let's just hand Power Bars out for free. Nobody will starve; everyone will be motivated to get off food welfare; and we won't have to watch obese women buy Frito Lay jumbo assortment packs with our money. "No no," leftists will sputter. "We can just prohibit using vouchers to buy junk food." That's just them being willfully dense. As a bonus, unlimited free Power Bars will shut down the secondary market that converts food vouchers into cash, so we can stop paying for obese mothers to buy cigs and malt liquor. When leftists complain that Power Bars are cruel and strip the poor of their immense dignity, just say this: "Why do you want pregnant welfare moms to drink alcohol and smoke?" Leftists will pretend they don't understand, but just ignore them and keep repeating it: "Why do you want pregnant welfare moms to drink alcohol and smoke?" Give them Power Bars instead.

Imagine the inheritors of someone's Last Will and Testament are meeting up and an unrelated person barges in and says he deserves some of the inheritance merely because he is a good person. This is what immigrants are claiming. I'm looking at you, Vivek.

Daycares in Minnesota donated a combined $35 million to political campaigns in the last two years They didnt even try to hide the money trail. somaliscan.com
Community note
The $35 million figure refers to government funding received by Minnesota daycares through the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), not political donations made by them to campaigns. dcyf.mn.gov/programs-direc… OP Admitted that he knows this fact but says "We have just stopped following the rules" x.com/beaverd/status…

A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our Country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the World, for being “Politically Correct,” and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration. The official United States Foreign population stands at 53 million people (Census), most of which are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it’s eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc. Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many. I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country, end all Federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our Country, denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!
