A video shared on social media shows an Iranian man demonstrating how a single tissue costs more than some of the country’s banknotes, illustrating the rial’s shrinking purchasing power. “That’s how ‘valuable’ our money has become,” he said sarcastically.

“If you go to China and get out of the few shiny cities, it gets pretty grim pretty fast.” Grant Newsham just revealed that China is not the juggernaut it pretends to be. “In actual fact, it’s a very poor country.” “There’s 600 million Chinese at least who live on $5 a day or less.” “Youth unemployment is officially admitted to being about 17-20%, when actual fact is probably closer to 50%.” @NewshamGrant

September, 2024. Ken Dilanian criticizes Republicans for questioning the crime data put out by Biden's FBI. "The FBI doesn't make these numbers up...The Republicans and others are pushing the narrative that this data is wrong." Actually, the data was wrong and anybody paying attention knew it. Biden's FBI predictably ended up revising the numbers right before the election to show that violent crime had gone up, not down (after the MSM had spent months telling everyone how much crime had fallen to assist Biden's reelection campaign). Fast forward to 2026 and Fusion Ken is on TV telling us not to trust the crime data being put out by the current FBI. Corrupt media doing what it does.

These are the kids you’re crying over. Keep crying. I hope that one day they make it to your neighborhoods and your cities. Then we’ll see how much you cry for them.

Surreal. public hanging is OK in Iran but hugging someone in public can become a crime Actress Fatemeh Masoudifar rested her head against Mehrdad Sedighian during a play. Tehran prosecutors opened a case over violations of “social norms.” And here’s the punchline: they were playing brother and sister. Women have also faced flogging sentences for singing without compulsory hijab. And what still shocks me is how many people in the West can look at all of this and treat the Islamic Republic as if this is somehow normal. Some on the left and in liberal circles say, “This is their culture, and it must be respected.” But believe me: this is not Iranian culture. This is the ideology of ISIS, the Taliban, and the Islamic Republic.

IRANIAN SCHOOLBOYS REFUSED TO CHANT “DEATH TO AMERICA” Principal: “Death to Israel!”
Students, laughing: “Death to Palestine!” Principal: “Death to America!”
Students, louder: “Death to Palestine!” That’s an Iranian boys’ school. The regime spent 47 years forcing “Death to America”and “Death to Israel” every morning. The kids flipped it in one line. They know the money, the blood, and the slogans were never for Iran. Humor + clarity. Even the teenagers are done. This generation already sees through it. compare them to snowflakes in college campuses ! Way smarter !

A compilation of the Islamic Republic mass executing their own people. It would be a shame if this went viral.

Trick shots. A stunt takes practice, looks great on video, and ends with a piece of paper in a trash can. This childish demagogue can run on seizing the means of production, win the largest city in the country, and spend his afternoon filming trick shots. Here what that paper symbolizes. A rent freeze on a million apartments that cannot fund their own repairs. An AI ban on 600,000 children in a school system where fewer than half of third graders read at grade level. A $34 million portal to publish files the city already owned. The result is children who still cannot read, less housing than the city had before, and less money in the pockets of the people who earned it. Every shot lands in the trash and nothing in the city works better than it did in January. The fact that a socialist can win the mayor of the city that was once the beacon of capitalism, campaigning on this kind of childish propaganda, tells you how far the ground has already moved. He is not an outlier though. He is the new acceptable extreme. Both parties have made their peace with the welfare state and argue only in degrees. Republicans took an equity stake in Intel, a cut of Nvidia's China revenue and a golden share in US Steel, then called it industrial policy. That is government ownership in the means of production, the definition of socialism, gleefully by the party that used to name this the enemy.

A historically pathetic day for the UK.

From first principles—existence exists independent of consciousness, A is A, and reason is man's means of knowledge—the most consistent, integrated philosophy of reality, knowledge, values, and society is Objectivism. Ayn Rand created it.

We must be prepared for that traitor in the White House to do ANYTHING to fuck with the midterm elections this year. Anything. And when he does, we must be prepared to do anything to defend our elections.

The situation in Lisbon is dire. There are not any locals or women in the historic center. What EU politicians have done to Europe is unprecedented in history.

Oui

I've got a story for you. There was a financial crisis, and the president bailed out the banks instead of homeowners. The world we are living in today is a direct result.
