In Finland they made a dance to show migrants not to rape them "Stop don't touch me, this is my no go space"

Je vais partir du principe que tu es de bonne foi, parce que ton raisonnement est intuitif et que 90% des gens le partagent. Mais il repose sur trois erreurs factuelles, et ça vaut le coup de les regarder calmement. Erreur 1 : la fortune d'Elon n'est pas un tas d'argent. C'est de la propriété d'usines, de fusées et de satellites. "Prendre la moitié de sa tune", concrètement, ça veut dire forcer la vente de la moitié de SpaceX et Tesla. L'argent ne sort pas d'un coffre, il sort des entreprises elles-mêmes, qui passent sous contrôle de fonds étrangers ou d'États. Tu ne redistribues pas du cash, tu démantèles un outil de production. C'est la différence entre récolter des pommes et découper le pommier. Erreur 2 : "ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde". Cette expérience a déjà été tentée, en vrai. En 2021, le directeur du Programme Alimentaire Mondial de l'ONU a affirmé que 6 milliards de Musk pouvaient "résoudre la faim dans le monde". Réponse d'Elon : décrivez-moi exactement comment, comptabilité publique à l'appui, et je vends mes actions Tesla immédiatement. Le PAM a publié son plan. Verdict : ce n'était pas "résoudre la faim", c'était nourrir 42 millions de personnes pendant un an. Un an. Puis il faut re-payer, pour toujours. Le PAM avait d'ailleurs levé 8,4 milliards l'année précédente, et la faim était toujours là. Les ONG traitent les symptômes en boucle, jamais les causes, parce que leur financement dépend de l'existence du problème. Erreur 3, la plus importante : tu cherches ce qui sort vraiment les gens de la pauvreté. Bonne nouvelle, on a la réponse, et elle est massive. En 1990, 36% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Plus d'un milliard de personnes sorties de la misère en 30 ans. Par quoi ? Pas par la charité ni par l'aide internationale (plus de 1 000 milliards versés à l'Afrique en 60 ans pour un résultat à peu près nul). Par l'ouverture des marchés, l'industrialisation, le commerce. La Chine seule a sorti 800 millions de personnes de la pauvreté en abandonnant le collectivisme, pas en taxant ses entrepreneurs. Donc fais le calcul complet. Option A : tu confisques 500 milliards, tu finances quelques années de programmes, l'argent est consommé, et tu as détruit la machine qui produisait les fusées, les voitures électriques et l'internet des zones rurales. Option B : tu laisses le meilleur allocateur de capital de sa génération réinvestir 100% de sa fortune dans des industries qui baissent les coûts pour tout le monde et emploient des centaines de milliers de personnes. L'option A soulage ta morale pendant 18 mois. L'option B sort des populations entières de la pauvreté pour toujours. La pauvreté ne se redistribue pas. Elle se résout par la création. C'est contre-intuitif, c'est frustrant, mais c'est ce que disent 200 ans de données.

A Scandinavian economist once boasted to Milton Friedman: “In Scandinavia, we have no poverty.” Friedman replied: “That’s interesting, because in America, among Scandinavians, we have no poverty, either.”

Reminder that the Biden admin set up a hotline for migrant children to report issues with sponsors. 65k calls went UNANSWERED Only ONE person was assigned to answer calls 450k kids were placed with unvetted sponsors. Some were r*ped over 600 times. DHS rescued 146k kids so far. Nobody has gone to prison for this yet. x.com/libsoftiktok/status/20…

They want an uncivil, revolutionary society. Why? Because they hate America and want communism. These journalists don't pay any price for being wrong so they have no problem spouting this crap. Honestly, even if a black person who killed their kid got off, they would shrug.

Maine Kampf.

Sowell needs to be mandatory reading in every school in America.

Democrats are the Party of Unity. They have finally brought the Communists and Nazis together as one!

Wrong. Your own employees told us that you have completed work on fewer than 1 percent of the 100,000 acres you promised to "fast-track" over the past year—and, of course, you tried to hide it from the public. We have the receipts.

A 41-year-old Black man was fatally shot today on an MTA bus in NYC while on his way to pick up his 7-year-old daughter by another Black male. 2 days before that, six people were stabbed in Penn Station by a 51-year-old homeless Black male. 9 days before that, a Black great-grandmother was savagely stabbed to death 20 times on a MARTA train in Atlanta by a Black male. 19 days before that, three people were stabbed, including an 84-year-old man, at NYC Grand Central by Black male Anthony Griffin. 64 days before that, an 83-year-old veteran was pushed into the tracks and killed by Honduran illegal Bairon Hernandez. 27 days before that, a 37-year-old man was fatally stabbed on the Chicago CTA Blue Line by Black male Demetrius Thurman. 29 days before that, one man was stabbed on NYC subway by Black male Jamar Banks. 15 days before that, a man was stabbed on NYC 7 train by a Black male suspect. 17 days before that, three people were stabbed on the NYC Union Square Subway by Puerto Rican male Christopher Betancourt. 58 days before that, one man was stabbed on NYC A train subway by Black male suspect. 52 days before that, Iryna Zarutska was savagely stabbed by Black male Decarlos Brown Jr. with long criminal history. Before that, eight people were stabbed, including 67-year-old Mirna Soza Arauz fatally, on the LA metro by a Black male. I’m exhausted.

the amount of context missing from this post is actually wild Derek Chauvin didnt just get 22.5 years. he got 22.5 years on the state murder conviction AND THEN got sentenced to another 21 years on federal civil rights charges. hes serving his time in federal prison right now. so saying 22.5 like thats the whole picture is leaving out an entire second sentencing Rick Chow "no time"... except the 3 years he spent locked up in jail without bond before his trial even happened. he was acquitted by a jury after sitting in a cell since 2023. thats not no time George Zimmerman and Daniel Penny were both acquitted by juries. not guilty. the state tried to convict them and failed. you cant count an acquittal as "no time" like a judge let them off easy. the juries literally said the prosecution didnt prove it Amber Guyger got 10 years, was denied parole last year after serving 5, and a civil jury just hit her with almost $100 million in damages on top of the prison time and then theres Karmelo. who was told to leave a tent that wasnt his. refused multiple times. threatened the other kid by reaching in his bag saying touch me and see what happens. got shoved. and then stabbed a 17 year old boy in the chest and killed him the jury rejected every defense argument in under 3 hours. self defense rejected. sudden passion rejected. 35 out of a possible 5 to 99 5 different cases. 4 different states. different laws. different facts. different juries. different outcomes. cherry picking details and stripping away context to make it look like one comparison is not it

You are NOT going to believe this

Last night, @POTUS invited the hardworking men who renovated the Reflecting Pool to the Oval Office ❤️ Every man received a signed hat and a presidential challenge coin!

This chart by the Data Boys pops somewhere every few months, and I think we all know why. This chart is considered hate speech in half of Europe, and in California. If this chart were considered carefully by the every day American, and by legislators, it could save lives.

Is there one ... just ONE ... liberal human male who isn't weird AF in the United States of America? ONE?

The truth is that there are VASTLY more hate crimes, especially aggravated rape and murder, per person by Blacks against Whites than the other way around. The is not remotely debatable, as the numbers are so extremely lopsided!

Last year DOJ published a report. For every 10,000 blacks, 153 violent crimes are committed by a black person each year against a white person. The same figure for violent crimes committed by whites against a black person: 3.4. A black person is 50-times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white person than for a white person to commit a violent crime against a black person. This is an extraordinary difference in the rates of violence committed between these two groups. We are told that whites are systemically racist. We are told that whites are successful because they oppress others. But the facts tell the opposite story. Blacks are not the ones being victimized. Whites are. Western civilization has been successful not because it was oppressive. It has been successful because whites created, starting thousands of years ago, systems that are impartial and fair. Today these systems are being dismantled. Criminals are being released because of their skin color. Law-abiding citizens are punished because of theirs. All in service of an ideology that is simply false. This puts everyone in danger.
