Spencer Pratt said what a lot of us are thinking: if you hate America that much, go back to Mogadishu and try building something there. Elon builds rockets that land themselves and companies that actually function. Ilhan builds resentment and calls the country that took her in one of the worst on earth. One of them creates real things. The other creates grievances. What kind of American do you want in this country? A giver or taker? One who creates? Or one who complains? We don’t need this hostility and ungratefulness from foreigners. Go home!

My dear American friends, I've shown you where the disease came from and who sells it. Now I want you to look at this email. January 5, 2020, 2:44 in the morning. Peter Thiel writes to Mark Zuckerberg, Nick Clegg, Sheryl Sandberg and Marc Andreessen. It became public years later, in a lawsuit between the state of Tennessee and Meta. The subject line is one word: Millennials. Thiel starts from a number: 70% of Millennials say they are pro-socialist. Read that again. Seven out of ten young adults in the richest, freest, most innovative country in human history say they want the system that ruined every country that tried it. And Thiel, one of the sharpest minds in Silicon Valley, says something important. Don't just dismiss them as stupid or brainwashed. Understand why. His answer: when you're crushed by student debt and housing is unaffordable, you have no capital and no way to build any. And if you have no stake in capitalism, you turn against it. He's right. But follow the thread one step further, because that's where it gets interesting. Who made college unaffordable? Washington flooded universities with easy federal loans, and universities raised their prices year after year, because they could. The same universities that then taught those students, for four years, that capitalism is the problem. Who made housing unaffordable? Zoning rules, permits, environmental reviews, endless regulation that makes it nearly illegal to build. Remember Piketty's famous rise of capital? It was mostly housing. Scarcity created by the state. So here's the full picture. The state creates the scarcity. The universities teach that capitalism caused it. The politicians sell socialism as the cure. The arsonist is selling fire insurance. That's why 70% is not a natural opinion. No generation wakes up one morning wanting central planning. It takes decades of teaching, a captured culture, and an economy rigged to give young people no stake in it. In a healthy country, that number would trigger a serious public investigation into what American universities have been teaching for fifty years. This is not a debate. It's the result of a long, patient operation, exactly the war of position Gramsci described from his prison cell. Now let me tell you what history says happens when an ideology captures a generation and turns it against everything that came before. China, 1966. Mao unleashes the Cultural Revolution and hands it to the youth. Students become Red Guards. Their mission: destroy the "Four Olds," old customs, old culture, old habits, old ideas. Temples, books, art, centuries of history, smashed. In August 1966, at a girls' school in Beijing, students beat their vice principal, Bian Zhongyun, to death. She was one of the first. Teachers across the country were humiliated, tortured, killed by the children they had taught. In 1970, a 16-year-old boy named Zhang Hongbing denounced his own mother for criticizing Mao. She was executed. He spent the rest of his life trying to apologize for it. Children were taught that loyalty to the Party came before loyalty to their parents. Historians estimate the Cultural Revolution killed somewhere between hundreds of thousands and millions of people. The Soviet Union did it first. It turned a boy named Pavlik Morozov into a national hero for denouncing his father. Generations of Soviet children were raised on his story. Cambodia, 1975. The Khmer Rouge declare Year Zero. Teenagers with rifles empty the cities. Wearing glasses was enough to mark you as an intellectual. In four years, roughly a quarter of the population was dead. Every time, the same pattern. Take the young. Teach them that the past is guilty. Teach them that their parents, their teachers, their history are the enemy. Then give them power. So when you see statues pulled down, words banned, books rewritten, and parents treated as obstacles in their own children's schools, understand what you're looking at. It's not the end of the story. It's the opening act. It always starts with the young, and it always starts with good intentions. If the West ever gets its Marxist youth revolution, it won't end in Scandinavia. It will end the way it has ended every single time it was tried for real. And we will have learned nothing. Thiel saw the number. I'm telling you where it leads. The answer is not to hate the young. It's to give them back a stake in the system. Let them build. Let them buy a home. Make college worth its price or skip it. Let them start companies instead of drowning in debt. A generation that owns something defends it. A generation that owns nothing will burn it down. I come from your future. Don't let your children write the next chapter of this story.

I need someone to explain to me how one President found two men like this at the same time — because I have been thinking about Trump, JD Vance, and Marco Rubio together all morning and something about that combination genuinely does not make sense to me in the most beautiful way possible — because look at where each of these three men came from — Trump, a man who had everything this world considers worth having and walked away from all of it to sit at the most demanding desk on earth — JD Vance, a boy whose father left, who was raised by a grandmother who refused to give up on him, who joined the Marines because it was the only way to afford an education, who went from zero to Vice President of the United States — and Marco Rubio, whose father stood behind a bar every single night of his life and whose mother worked three jobs simultaneously just so their son could have a chance — three men, three completely different journeys, three completely different versions of the American story — and yet somehow they ended up in the same room, at the same table, fighting for the same country — and what I cannot get out of my head is that image from the King Charles ceremony, Trump at that podium, Rubio sitting right there in the front, JD and Usha beside each other a few rows back — all three of them present, all three of them carrying everything this week had been, all three of them showing up anyway — and I thought to myself — this is not a coincidence — this is God placing the right people in the right place at exactly the right moment in American history — and today I am grateful for all three of them in a way I genuinely cannot put into words. 🙏❤️🇺🇲 God, please protect these three men and their families. America is lucky to have all three of them at the same time. If this combination of Trump, JD Vance, and Marco Rubio gives you confidence in America’s future… tell me what that means to you today. Say it below

I read this on fb and I wanted to share it with you all. Nailed it on the head. 👇 As I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind! • If a man pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him. • Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America. • Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good. • It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it. • People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves. • People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees. • Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated. • Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome. • $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not. • If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free. • People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President. • We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us. • Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now. • Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights. • And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?! Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right. Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast. The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely!

I used to take a daily turmeric supplement. One day in a meeting, I belched, and an orange cloud came out of my mouth Everyone around the table stared in horror. I froze too. Was I going to spontaneously combust? Then I remembered the turmeric. We all sighed in relief. I wasn't going to burst into anything - flames being the primary concern. Also the faint accompanying smell wasn't anything to get obsessed about Anyhoo... just wanted to post something today that wasn't related to Fauci. Seeing so many posts about him today reminded me of that one time I thought maybe I was going to burst into flames in a public place

Rules of life according to me (no one else just me) 1. God sits on the throne. No person, institution, government, ideology, or ambition has the right to take His place. 2. Anyone can say the right words. Judge people by what they repeatedly do, how they use power, and how they treat others when there is nothing to gain. 3. Gratitude changes everything. Love, serve, and appreciate people without turning relationships into transactions and keep a gratitude journal. 4. Stand up for the truth even when it’s unpopular. Do not soften reality and do not confuse a shared enemy with a shared worldview. 5. Power must always be questioned. Never trust someone merely because they promise to use authority for good. Human beings are fallen, and unchecked power eventually serves the person holding it. 6. Conscience belongs to God. Persuade people. Teach them. Challenge them. Never believe that coercion can produce genuine faith, virtue, or obedience. 7. People are not props, statistics, or weapons to be used in somebody else’s cause. 8. Do not mistake cynicism for intelligence. Questioning everything does not make a person wise. Evidence matters. Accusation is not proof, and suspicion is not discernment. 9. Never surrender your judgment to a crowd. A million people repeating something does not make it true. Think carefully, investigate honestly, and be willing to stand alone. Love is service given freely without expecting an ROI. The strongest families are built by people who give freely, practice gratitude, forgive often, and stop asking whether every act has been repaid. 10. Do not let bitterness become your identity. Laugh, joke and make fun of everything including yourself. 11. Try to fight ideas and not people. 12. Freedom requires responsibility. Liberty is not permission to live without restraint. It is the space to govern yourself so that someone else does not have to govern you. 13. Judgement is for God. 14. Vengeance is not justice. Justice has limits, standards, evidence, and due process. Vengeance only asks whether the target deserves to suffer. 15. Your family is not an interruption to your purpose. They are your purpose. 16. Make room for redemption. Grace does not erase accountability, but accountability should never make redemption impossible. 17. Bow to God never man. 18. Read Scripture daily. 19. Before you get angry ask who benefits from your anger. There will always be people willing to amplify your fear, grievance, and resentment because outrage is profitable and angry people are easy to direct. Leave people better than you found them. 20. Ignore the opinions of random people on the internet. Social media is a tool. To learn, to share and to participate. Nothing else. 21. Love God first, yourself second. 22. Have as many children as you can (or as many as you can convince your husband if 😂)

🚨 BREAKING: Victor Davis Hanson Drops a Fiery Truth Bomb! 🔥 “We didn’t storm the beaches of Normandy… didn’t bleed and die in the trenches of World War I… didn’t sacrifice everything in World War II… JUST TO BE LECTURED BY NEWCOMERS on why America is ‘racist’ and ‘flawed’!” Do you think Hamilton and Jefferson fought and died for YOU? 250 years of American blood—from Gettysburg to Belleau Wood to Iwo Jima—only for first- and second-generation arrivals to march in and declare: “Your Constitution is garbage. The Founders were racists. When we take power, we’re tearing it all down.” ENOUGH. This is OUR country. We built it. We defended it with our lives. If you come here, assimilate—or go home. What do YOU think, America? Drop your thoughts below! 👇 @VDHanson #AmericaFirst #NoMoreLectures #DefendTheFounders

The state showed up at Joel Salatin's farm and told him selling chickens to his own neighbors was illegal. He was stunned. "I'm a voluntary farmer. They're a voluntary buyer. We're neighbors. What do you mean? We can't butcher a chicken here and sell it to them?" Their reasoning? The air was unsanitary. "If one fly enters your processing area, then it's an adulterated chicken and inedible." They said his windows had to be covered with fly-impregnable mesh. One problem. He processed outdoors, with no walls. "It doesn't say I have to have a wall," Salatin told them. That sentence became the crux of the showdown. "They were going to eliminate our farm." He pulled in his senator, his delegate, and an attorney. Three months later, he won. In the living-room meeting, a legislative aide looked at the regulators and asked: "Gentlemen, is it possible that somebody in Richmond created these rules who could not have conceived of a place like Polyface?" They had to say yes. And here's the thing. A microbiology lab had just swab-tested his birds against store-bought chicken. The store-bought birds had been through 40 chlorine baths. His had no antimicrobials at all. The store-bought chicken averaged 3,600 colony forming units of bacteria. His averaged 133. That's 27 times more bacteria in the government-approved bird. "So if it's clean, who cares if it's outside, inside, in the kitchen? If it's clean, it's clean," Salatin said. The regulator's answer? "Well, that's not all we're concerned about." The standard was never cleanliness. It was compliance.

The World Cup ends today. One game left. By tomorrow most of you visitors will be packing up, heading to the airport, going home. So before you go, let me say the thing I actually want to say. A few weeks ago I wrote a silly post about all the things you were discovering here. Free refills. Free water. Ice like civilized people. Chips and salsa before you even order. Air conditioning that is a fact and not a moral debate. Drive-throughs. Ranch by the gallon. The Germans standing in the HEB meat aisle in reverent silence, finally understanding why we do not have trains. Buc-ee’s, for which there are still no words. It blew up, because it was true, and because you were so delightfully stunned by all of it. Even the Wall Street Journal caught on. Their headline this week: how the US lost the World Cup and won over the world. We did not lift the trophy. But apparently we lifted something else. We even learned a few things about ourselves along the way. Like the fact that Elon Musk, the single richest man on the planet, shops at HEB. Just rolls in and queues up for fresh tortillas with everybody else. The man could buy the tortilla company, the state it is in, and the moon it sits under, and instead he is standing in line at the hot-tortilla counter like the rest of us, because that is where the good ones are. Only in America is the wealthiest human alive elbow to elbow with a mom of four at the salsa bar. That is the whole country in one aisle. And here is the part I want every one of you to hear on your way out the door. None of it was a show. We did not roll all this out because you were coming. The ice was always there. The refills were always free. The grocery stores were always the size of aircraft hangars at ten on a Tuesday. The stranger who adopted your whole section, the guy who gave you a ride, the waitress who remembered your order, the family that invited you to the cookout, that is not World Cup America. That is just America. That is Tuesday. We are exactly like this when nobody is visiting. Loud, generous, ridiculous, overfed, and genuinely thrilled you came. We will still be exactly like this tomorrow when the stands are empty and the flags come down. So thank you. To everyone who came, who sang in our streets, who cleaned our stadiums, who turned our cities orange and filled our bars and taught us your chants. You were wonderful guests, and you made a country that just turned 250 feel young and seen and loved. And to everyone who could not make it this time, the door does not close today. We meant all of it. Come whenever. The porch light stays on, the fridge stays full, and there is always room for one more at the table. You found out who we are these last few weeks. Good news. We are like this all the time. Safe travels home. Y’all come back now, you hear. 🦋
