this puts things into perspective, especially for those in the trenches. keep in mind what's really important.
I lost my Mum to cancer this morning
Unfortunately she was diagnosed too late and was faced with one of the most aggressive forms so we only had a short time between diagnosis and passing
We throw the term around “never stop clicking” but please remember who you’re clicking for
If it’s at the expense of spending time with loved ones then you’re doing it wrong
Life is a string of precious moments; while I managed to spend many with her I’m saddened that this string was cut short
I love it how the democrats in US who have never lived a day in their lives under communist / socialist / Islamic regimes claim to be more knowledgeable about it than those who have lived and fled those countries, i.e. Iran, N Korea, Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, etc.
Crazy not to hear it firsthand from those who actually did and may know a thing or two about it.
Yup, it's mind boggling how those who are from Blue states who move to Red states can't understand the fundamental reasons why they moved in the first place and are still voting Blue in a Red state.
If the Blue-run states were so good, why even leave in the first place?!
I mean, how much more obvious does it get especially when they say it in layman's terms and on video?!?!
This video should be broadcast 24/7. The Muslim Brotherhood leader explains in his own words that, after 700 years of failed attempts to conquer Europe by force, they are now conquering it peacefully with the help of naive Western governments. The EU's weak and corrupt politicians have caused a disaster of biblical proportions. This won't end well.

FINE. LET'S NATIONALIZE SOMETHING. JUST NOT SPACEX. 🏛📰
Paul Krugman spent October arguing the government should take Starlink away from Elon over "national security." Seize it. Run it from Washington.
Here's my counter-offer, Paul.
Don't nationalize SpaceX. SpaceX is the one thing in America that still works. It lands rockets on boats and flies them again while NASA's own moon rocket costs about $4.1 billion a launch and gets thrown in the ocean. You don't seize the golden goose. You leave it alone and say thank you.
But socialism deserves a fair test, right? So let's run the experiment on a dead industry instead.
Let's nationalize THE PRESS.
Seize the New York Times. The Atlantic. USA Today. MS NOW. NPR. Politico. The AP. Merge them into one government agency. Call it US NEWS.
And here are the rules, because a real experiment needs rules:
💵 Every employee makes exactly the same salary. The Pulitzer winner, the anchor, the summer intern. Same check. From each according to his ability, comrade.
🚫 No 401k. No stock options. No signing bonus. No book deal. Their retirement is Social Security, the same system they keep telling you is perfectly fine.
🏥 Health coverage is Medicaid. Not the fancy employer PPO. The same Medicaid they write glowing editorials about. Enjoy the wait for a specialist.
👵 Mandatory retirement at 65. Then you're done. You can't go work somewhere else, because there IS nowhere else. The State owns the press now. That was the point.
🤖 Every article runs through @grok before publication, checking whether it's true, whether it's the WHOLE story, and whether the key fact got buried in paragraph 19 on purpose.
🏛 No ads. No billionaire owners. No subscriptions. Just the State and the Truth.
📝 Paul gets a desk. He can write about socialism, explaining exactly what it is: a failure on every level, every time it's been tried.
Although I suspect Paul wouldn't publish much. The man wrote in 1998 that "by 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet's impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine's." He said people had "nothing to say to each other." He wrote that in a magazine. On the internet's doorstep. And now he's on Substack. Telling us who should run a satellite network.
Why is the press the perfect test case? Because the industry is already dead and nobody will miss it.
📉 Gallup: only 33% of Americans have confidence in the media. Among Republicans it's 22%. In the 1970s it was around 70%.
📺 MS NOW is averaging about 52,000 viewers in the 25 to 54 demographic. Fifty-two thousand. In a country of 340 million. A decent high school football game outdraws them.
💸 Congress already pulled NPR's federal funding, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting shut down.
So the patient is already on the table. Let's see what central planning does for it.
And watch how fast the enthusiasm dies.
The columnist who wants your money redistributed is about to discover that SHE has been redistributed. The anchor who calls billionaires immoral will learn his salary now matches the guy who empties the trash, and he is going to have FEELINGS about that. The reporter who wrote that Medicare for All is the only moral option gets to spend 40 minutes on hold with Medicaid about her knee.
Everybody loves socialism right up until somebody applies it to THEM.
My prediction? Within 18 months US NEWS puts out 400 pages a day that nobody reads, every reporter with talent tries to quit and finds out there's nowhere to go, and the only honest thing in the building is the AI fact-checker, which gets unplugged in month three for being "problematic."
But hey. At least we'll have run the experiment on something expendable instead of the company that's the only reason America can still put a person in orbit.
Leave the rockets alone, Paul. Take the newsroom. 🦋

I really don't know which lunatic decided that a White kid born in 2005 owes the world an apology for something that happened 300 years ago
Slavery wasn't some White invention. Every civilization did it. Africans sold other Africans. The Arab slave trade ran for over a thousand years and enslaved millions. Nobody talks about that
And guess who actually ended it? The West. Britain banned the trade and literally sent its navy out to hunt down slave ships. That part somehow never makes it into the lecture
Meanwhile, slavery still exists today in parts of Africa and the Middle East. Mauritania only made it a crime in 2007. You will never see the outrage or the protests... Nothing but silence
But in the West, people are told to feel guilty for being born. Criminals get excused because "the system made him do it." Repeat offenders get arrested again and again and walk right back out. The victim gets forgotten and the criminal gets treated like the victim
Seriously, how did it get this bad? The same civilization that built the modern world and ended slavery is now tearing itself apart and calling it morality
You have no reason to feel guilty for things that happened centuries ago. You don't even remember what you ate last week
This isn't compassion, it's insanity
This is literally civilizational suicide
Just imagine.
My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.
What he said.
If Elon Musk hadn't bought Twitter and fought back against the insanity of the last few years, the West would be much further down a path of self-destruction, self-hatred, and moral corruption
• Pronouns treated like sacred scripture
• State propaganda rebranded as "truth" and “misinformation” used to shut people up
• Heavy censorship of anyone who disagrees
• Child mutilation and sterilization sold as “gender-affirming care”
• Birth rates collapsing while governments deliberately import a replacement population that refuses to assimilate and poses a threat to citizens
• DEI over competence and merit
• Open borders + cultural self-hatred as policy
He called the woke mind virus anti-science, anti-merit, and anti-human for a reason. Without the fight he started, the damage would already be irreversible
The woke mind virus is like The Walking Dead... it never stops coming. The fight has to continue or we risk the collapse of entire Western civilization
Thought this was a good read - take a step back and look at things for what they really are and stand for.
Why are Democrats going after Elon Musk with everything they have? It's not because he's a billionaire in politics. They've been perfectly comfortable with billionaires in politics for decades. They're going after him because he's the first one playing against them.
Look at the numbers. Soros's Democracy PAC had put over $100 million into this midterm cycle before the summer was even over. Only a tiny fraction of it shows up under his own name. Then add the advocacy arm of his foundations, which doesn't have to disclose all of its political spending. And that's just the visible part. Over 40 years, tens of billions have gone into NGOs, universities, legal networks and media projects that shape what counts as an "acceptable" opinion.
That's the real game. Billionaires have been buying politicians for decades, on every side. But the smartest ones figured something out: you don't buy a candidate, you buy the ecosystem. Universities, foundations, newsrooms, NGOs, regulators, courts. Once you control who writes the reports, who trains the lawyers and who decides what counts as "misinformation", elections become a detail.
For 30 years that ecosystem leaned one way. Nobody called it oligarchy. They called it "civil society."
Then Musk showed up. He bought the main public square, took the filters off, and started spending in the open, under his own name. Yes, he's the biggest donor of these midterms. Everyone can see exactly how much he gave and to whom. That's the difference. One plays in daylight, the other plays through a maze of structures.
And suddenly, billionaire money in politics became a threat to democracy.
This isn't really about left versus right. It's about an ideology that captured these institutions and leads straight into a wall. More regulation, less building. More process, less progress. Countries shutting down working nuclear plants. A decade to approve a power line. A system whose default answer to any ambition is "no."
Musk is the opposite. Reusable rockets. Mass-market EVs. Satellite internet for the whole planet. Brain-computer interfaces. A serious plan to make humanity multiplanetary. You can hate his tweets. You can't deny that no one in the last 20 years has pushed the frontier of what humanity can build further than he has.
That's why they need to break him. Not because of his money. Because he proves the system can be bypassed.
If we leave the system as it is, we don't get a catastrophe. We get something worse: slow, comfortable stagnation. A civilization that manages its own decline instead of building its future.
Let's take a look at things the way they are by using history and facts.
My post about Hitler and the far right got millions of views. Clearly, it hit a nerve. So today I'm going to show you, step by step, why the notion of "far right" as it's used in France makes almost no sense. And why the people who wield it are usually the last ones who should be lecturing anyone.
Let's start with the only question that matters: what makes a political system work or fail? To a very large extent, it's the economy. A country that produces wealth, that lets its citizens create, trade and build, stays standing. A country that destroys that collapses, no matter how beautiful its slogans are.
And in economics, there are really only two worldviews.
The first is collectivism. The idea that the State knows better than you. That it must plan production, set prices, run companies, decide what you earn, what you buy, and eventually what you think. The individual is just a cog serving a grand collective project: the class, the nation, the race, the people.
The second is freedom. Capitalism, property, individual liberty, individual responsibility. The idea that millions of people creating value for one another produce infinitely more prosperity than an office of planners, however brilliant they may be.
Now look at the list of the great totalitarian regimes of the 20th century. Stalin: total planning, forced collectivization, millions dead. Mao: the Great Leap Forward and the deadliest famine in human history. Pol Pot: money abolished, cities emptied, nearly a quarter of Cambodia's population exterminated. Mussolini, the man who coined the word fascism: "Everything within the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State." And Hitler, leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, whose program proclaimed "the common good before individual good." He subjected the entire German economy to State plans: the Four-Year Plan, frozen prices and wages, unions dissolved into a single state labor front, industrialists producing whatever the regime decided.
Their flags were different. Their designated enemies were different. But the machinery was the same: the individual doesn't exist, only the collective matters, and the State decides everything.
Why does it always end in totalitarianism? Because collectivism doesn't work. And when a system doesn't work, it has only two options: admit failure or force people. They always choose force.
Ludwig von Mises proved it as early as 1920: without free prices, without a market, a planner simply cannot know what to produce, how much, or at what cost. He is flying blind. A planned economy isn't a less efficient version of the market. It's an impossibility.
Friedrich Hayek drew the political conclusion in 1944 in The Road to Serfdom, a book he dedicated "to the socialists of all parties." One chapter is titled "The Socialist Roots of Naziism." Another, "Why the Worst Get on Top." For Hayek, controlling the economy isn't controlling one sector among others. It is "the control of the means for all our ends." Whoever controls your bread controls your life. Then your speech. Then your thoughts.
Milton Friedman put it his own way: a society that puts equality before freedom ends up with neither.
So we know exactly what works. It's not an opinion. It's a century of real-world experiments. Listen to the Austrian school, Mises and Hayek, with Friedman from Chicago alongside them: economic freedom, limited government, individual responsibility.
And this is where we get to the great accusatory inversion. Part of the left-wing press spends its time screaming fascism. Why? Because the fascism fantasy is the best way to never talk about the track record of their own ideas. Deep down, they know: if their collectivist program were applied all the way, it wouldn't work, because a collective economy cannot work. And an economy that doesn't work always ends up having to coerce, surveil and ban. In other words, it becomes exactly what they claim to be fighting. The real heirs of totalitarian logic are not the ones being pointed at.
So who gets called "far right" in 2026? People who want safe cities. People who want to keep their culture. People who just want to live a peaceful life, raise their kids, and not have to board up their shop every weekend. People who want the law to apply to everyone.
If that's the far right, then the word no longer means anything. And maybe that was the point.
