Thank you President Trump!-----Go Figure: Arrests, Prosecutions and Deportations Fuel Record Drop in Crime | RealClearInvestigations

The 2026 Version of the ITCI: Estonia at the Top, France at the Bottom | International Liberty - Dan Mitchell
Since I want all nations to follow the recipe for growth, I think economic rankings can be very instructive.

  • France, unsurprisingly, is in last place. 
  • And the United States is (just barely) in the top half of nations.
Here are the full rankings.

Well, we can't say we weren't warned!-----The DSA Plans To Incite Violence Ahead Of 2028 Election

Over on X, DataRepublican’s reporting on documents and recordings from the Democratic Socialists of America and allied networks lays out a calculated strategy for the run-up to the 2028 elections. - Chuck DeVore
The goal is sustained mass violence and street clashes designed to push President Donald Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act. 
  • Once invoked, Democratic governors and progressive organizations would treat the order itself as evidence of “fascism” and a reason to undermine federal authority.

The champagne communists who sold Millennials a bill of goods | Blaze Media

The champagne communists who sold Millennials a bill of goods | Blaze Media: 

Accountability begins with honest disclosures in university advertising and recruitment. I am working on that problem through the Intellectual Nutrition Label project. If a school makes demonstrably deceptive promises, lawyers and class-action lawsuits may have a role. Institutions that charge families so much should not be exempt from answering for what they represent.

The lesson for Millennials is all too clear. You were lied to by leftist universities that gladly took your money and left you in ruin. It isn’t too late to see the leftist worldview for what it is: the road to serfdom. It’s time to hold the universities that pushed these lies accountable.

Hard to disagree with him.

My name is May Naim, and I was a 24-yo Jewish Israeli woman when Hamas KILLED ME on October 7th.

My body was found in a shelter in Be'eri, and I was found holding onto Mr. Lotan Abir, my childhood friend, who also died. - Mazelit Airaksinen2d - Mazelit's Corner
  • I was a victim of anti-Jewish terrorism.
  • Hamas yelled "allahu akbar" before they attacked.
  • I died in the "intifada" that Western liberals cheered for.
  • I loved my family, my grandfather, siblings, my parents.
  • Will you remember me and the other victims of antisemitic violence?

This Governor just blamed gas prices in Michigan on someone other than herself. Really.

Kell Deaton - This Governor just blamed gas prices in Michigan on... | Facebook - Kell Deaton
  • Well according to Triple A & Gas buddy it's $3.85 in Arkansas today. $3.71 in Texas, $3.79 in Louisiana, $3.81 in Tennessee.
  • Michigan today $4.84 with the 7th highest gas tax (you know, to fix the d@mn roads) 
...at least twice Ms. Whitmer has denied suspending the gas tax to give the people of Michigan relief.
She blames it ALL on the Federal Government. 
Some, yes, I would agree, however, the rest Gretch is all you!...
