When I finished reading Dune, my first thought was: it sure seems like Frank Herbert thinks the West should stop exploiting the Middle East.”
Can any dune book reader explain why Baron Harkonnen bathe in oil?
In the Dune movies, we often see Baron Harkonnen soaking in oil. Sometimes he even submerges his entire head. So, why is the Baron so obsessed with oil?

Democrats threaten to nationalize his businesses and wonder why he supports Republicans 🤷♂️
Elon Musk has plowed nearly half a billion dollars into elections in the 2026 cycle, a spending spree that makes him the single, largest disclosed donor in modern American politics and one of the Republican Party's largest-ever benefactors. cnn.it/3V0Yu6h

Elon's point isn't partisan. It's about who gets to rewrite the rules.
In 1937 FDR, fresh off winning 46 of 48 states, tried to add up to six justices. His own party controlled the Senate, and its Judiciary Committee still killed it: "a measure which should be so emphatically rejected that its parallel will never again be presented."
The Court has had 9 seats since 1869. In 2021 a bill was introduced to make it 13. That same year the House passed DC statehood, 216-208.
Change the referee, add 4 senators, legalize millions of new voters, and you don't win the next election. You win all of them.
I live in Europe. I know what it looks like when one side treats the rules as a tool.
51 senators. That's the whole firewall.

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.
You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.
Bro.
You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.
You live in a constitutional republic.
Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.
The modern left's definition of fascism:
You love your country? Fascist.
You want to enforce the border? Racist.
You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.
You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.
Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.
But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.
But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.
Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.
Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.
Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.
Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.
Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.
Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.
Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.
Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.
But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.
You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And they have you in the streets carrying their water.
The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.
No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.
Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.
During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.
But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.
The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.
Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.
That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.
Biden built a censorship machine.
Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."
They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...
Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.
And it doesn't stop at speech.
The extreme left justifies taking children from families.
Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.
The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.
Same playbook.
During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.
But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.
$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.
January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.
Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.
Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.
CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.
75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.
Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." They say.
Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.
One side talks. The other side screams.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched
Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. But Marxism.
500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs.
The signs were ready before you were even angry.
AND its all coming again .... if the left gain any power.
VOTE RED RED RED on November 3rd

I understand that to those of you born in the last 27 years, that the political climate you’ve experienced is the norm. Trust me, when I tell you that it was not like this for so many of us. The parties opposed each other, yes, there were shenanigans, yes, but never this level of vitriol. That’s it. That’s the post.

Elon Musk: You can tell which side is the good side and which side is the bad side by which side wishes to restrict freedom of speech
The side that is restricting freedom of speech you know, that would have been the Hitlers, Stalins, and Mussolinis of the world
They had very strong censorship, very strong restrictions on speech. That’s one of the signs that they’re the bad guys
In fact, a restriction on speech and large government is fundamentally fascist, obviously. So ironically, in pushing for censorship, it makes it very clear that the left is the side that is against freedom
Freedom of speech is simply one of many freedoms that we should have as a civil society because ideas should win on the strength of their arguments. They should not win because they are suppressed
When she laughs and says “not to my knowledge,” any normally intelligent person would understand her to be saying “no,” but in a way that ridicules the question. I don’t like her politics, but this is not serious evidence for serious people.

Tennessee absolutely demolishes Alabama and AP voter @wilnerhotline ranks Alabama ahead of Tennessee
We have biased voters in the poll and that’s why nobody takes it seriously
