The Western liberal media is ignoring the Iranian uprising because explaining it would force an admission it is desperate to avoid: the Iranian people are rebelling against Islam itself, and that fact shatters the moral framework through which these institutions understand the…

The Iranian people are waging one of the most courageous anti-tyranny movements of our time against the Islamic Republic. The media’s silence is disgraceful. This regime will fall—and history will remember who stood for liberty and who looked away.

The Invoice of Power For all the crying haters of U.S. power projection. You mistake American peace for a donation. Peace is not mailed out like aid packages. It’s underwritten. By carriers you don’t build, by logistics you don’t maintain, by men and women you didn’t raise, and…

Your M4A plans has issues bernie. Goals is good. Particulars, not so much. 1. Everything is at the discretion of the sec of HHS. Including the drug formulary. And what is a medical necessity. How would that be working right now ? (p31) 2. Any provider can choose not to…

Oh, Trump and the Republicans can’t stand how the big, bad insurance companies are ripping-off Americans. Really? Are you serious? Then I welcome your support for Medicare for All. Let’s end the greed of the insurance industry & make healthcare a human right, not a privilege.

"In the end, marriage is not disappearing, it is becoming concentrated amongst the successful. It becomes almost like an aristocratic custom; rare, elite, stable, high-investment and deeply stratified. A marker of competence rather than a rite of passage. For everyone else the…

Marriage is less appealing now because the material benefits it once offered women have largely collapsed. 100 years ago it was the dominant route to financial stability, social standing, protection and adult recognition. Today a woman can earn her own income, live independently…

In the post-COVID economic era, Colorado may not be great at creating new jobs but it is streets ahead of most other states when it comes to enacting legislation that eliminates existing jobs. Unemployment in Colorado has increased by 44.1% since January 2023.

This isn’t about visas. That’s the surface. The deeper layer is that America has reached the breaking point of its globalist operating system. For 30 years the engine was simple: import cheap labor, export debt, recycle the profits through the dollar’s reserve status. That loop…

If anybody wants to know why Gen X is always mad, it's because they had to replace their record collections with a tape collection that they had to replace with a CD collection that they had to replace with an MP3 collection, and now they need a subscription to listen to music.

The funniest thing about today’s CPI is that literally everything that’s driving inflation is NOT subject to tariffs: Shelter (main culprit!), medical services, electricity, restaurant meals, airfares, used cars. Meanwhile apparel, news cars & “stuff” is low or deflating! 🤣

One billionaire couple owns almost all the water in California. In 1994, the Resnicks secretly seized control of California’s public water supply. Now their companies use 150 billion gallons every year while working class people suffer under drought conditions.

150 billionaire families spent $1.9B on the 2024 election through October. It's a huge amount of money — but it represents just 0.07% of their overall wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in cash. We must get big money out of our politics.
