"this one neat trick to control an entire population"

🚢 HORMUZ: Commercial shipping is beginning to resume through the Strait of Hormuz following the Iran-U.S. agreement, with vessel tracking data from Lloyd’s List showing major cargo ships operated by companies including Grimaldi Group, COSCO and NYK exiting the Gulf after months of disruption. A French-flagged LNG carrier, the Mraikh, also crossed Hormuz on Thursday carrying more than 76,000 tons of liquefied natural gas loaded in Qatar.

Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire has triggered a familiar round of progressive outrage. But the imprecise focus on wealth distribution obscures the real issue: how much of modern wealth is acquired through politics rather than production.

This is like when the Biden administration took credit for the "historic job growth" we saw as people returned to work after the lockdowns.

Thomas Massie has to run in 2028... No matter what the ballot says I will be writing his name on my ballot.... Hes the only one who can be trusted... #MASSIE2028

Schools typically teach that the New Deal saved America. They don't teach that it extended the Great Depression by several years and that even FDR's own Treasury Secretary admitted it had failed. (The omission is not accidental…)

Nearly everyone has been universally outrage by both. The UK stuff is horrific. Matt Van Swol is an op. You've been warned.

Leftist math: government is $40T in debt and has only made things worse… but if we gave government $1T more, now that would make everything better all at once.

The child labor argument against capitalism gets the story backwards. Children worked on farms, in homes, and in family trades long before factories existed. The real enemy was poverty.  The reason many children stopped working was that their societies became rich enough for school to replace survival labor.

Bernie and Trump. Two socialist peas in a pod.

Health officials in the DRC say the Ebola outbreak has not yet peaked, while the Red Cross warns it could take up to a year to contain. With 837 cases and nearly 200 deaths, the Africa CDC says it could become one of the worst outbreaks without urgent support.

Notice how Ro points NOT to the men who built this country but to the POLITICIANS who tried to chain them. His facts are right. His values are the problem. Look at who he chose. FDR, who in 1933 ordered Americans to surrender their gold under threat of a $10,000 fine and ten years in prison, then tried to pack the Supreme Court when it resisted him, and built the regulatory state that treats your earnings as the government's to allocate. Obama, who expanded that same machine. Sanders, who calls the open seizure of private industry a "movement." These are his heroes. Not creators. Men whose great achievement was extending the state's grip over the individual. He calls them the people who "transformed our nation." They did, by transforming a republic of free men into a population to be managed. Where is the inventor on his list? The entrepreneur, the engineer, the industrialist who built the wealth these men spent and redistributed? Absent. Of course they are. To Ro Khanna the producer is invisible, the assumed source of revenue. Only the man who spends it is a hero. That is the tell. He admires those who chained the achievers, never the achievers themselves. Remember it when he asks you to vote for him for President.

The White House group chat when the US knocked down an apartment building in Yemen

You can't outsource the formation of your child's soul to people who don't share your values and then be surprised when the soul that returns doesn't share them either.

My dad is older than Israel. Yet this pathetic man utters the claim that the U.S. wouldn’t exist without Israel? Let’s pull all financial and military support and see how long the genocidal welfare queens last.

There are 193 countries in the world. 177 of them receive US taxpayer money from Congress. 177 of 193 Elon is not the problem. Congress is wasting our money. We have $39 trillion in debt and a $2 trillion annual budget deficit. Our foreign aid budget should be $0.00

America existed for 172 years before Israel.

Advice on permanent allies and permanent enemies from people far wiser than we are: “It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world … we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.” — George Washington’s Farewell Address, 1796 “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations—entangling alliances with none.” — Thomas Jefferson’s First Inaugural Address, 1801 “We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow.” — Lord Palmerston, House of Commons, 1848
