Most peoples’ theory of mind for evil is under-developed
Someone who is willing to steal is willing to lie about why they are stealing
They have no compunction for exploiting the weak mental model of the society they are destroying
The entire “compassion for criminals and fraudsters” psyop has done more damage to the west than you can possibly imagine
We should be far, far more harsh to fraudsters and theives

Let's say you are a builder of houses with a great idea. You can do a poor job – a pipe that leaks, a circuit that shorts out, a roof that has to be replaced in a year – and then get contracted to fix things, providing a permanent income stream.
Great racket huh?
You say it would not work, because the owners would litigate against such a scam company and drive it to bankruptcy. That's true. It would not work.
Now compare to pharmaceutical companies and the medical system generally. The business model above works for them because of liability shields, 3rd-party payments, forced subscription services, tax subsidies, and business cartels, among other scams.
This is why the medical system is so screwed up. They are the housing developers who build things to break so that they can profit from pretending to fix the things they made to break. They get away with it.

Do you understand what happens when we deport ALL the illegal immigrants?
- Wages increase
- Rent prices fall
- Traffic decreases
- Insurance rates fall
- Insurance rates drop
- Housing prices plummet
- Welfare spending plummets
- Hospital overcrowding eases
- Crime dramatically decreases
- Classrooms become less crowded
- Teenagers can get good jobs again
- Court systems become less burdened
- Competition for starter homes drops
- Emergency rooms become less strained
- Nearly all prices on everything drops
- All government services are less strained
Literally every single thing in life gets better if we just deport them all.

U.S. overall — National brands and imports (Stella Artois, Bud Light, etc.) dominate search interest in most states. True local craft beers rarely lead statewide search rankings.
Note: Based primarily on Google search interest data for prominent beers (Food & Wine / similar analyses). This measures online popularity more than actual sales volume. A few states show regional favorites (Fat Tire in Colorado, Samuel Adams in Massachusetts, Hamm’s in Minnesota, Rainier in Washington, Budweiser in Missouri). Actual best-selling beers by volume are often different and more dominated by light lagers.

Endorsed by AOC and Pete Buttigieg. I-194 silences Montana small businesses and is headed straight for a court fight. Vote NO on I-194 ❌

If Fauci goes to prison, Adam Schiff gets raided and Ilhan Omar gets deported, I just might start believing in the justice system again.

Imagine a world where despite all of the evidence suggesting that @AbdulElSayed is a seditious enemy of the foundational principles of the United States, Americans will still vote for him because they hate Republicans. It is astounding.

This right here is why homes are so expensive in America
Foreigners Bohar Bhaji and Manpreet Di walk into their new home in Fresno, California
They were able to score this home for home for $593K with a 5.65% fixed interest rate. After walking into the home they all touch the foot of the head of household
These are our homes in America. Imagine how much more affordable homes would be if Americans were competing with 10s of millions of foreigners
This has to stop. Vote Red

It’s the most American place left in America.
There’s truly nothing more purely Americana than the frontier spirit of the Rocky Mountain West.
And that’s why NPR, US News, & the New York Times keep running stories encouraging leftists and their third-world armies to flood in.

If you think Democrats care about lowering the price of gas, just remember that on Day One of the Biden admin, two of the first things they did were cancel the Keystone XL pipeline and halt all new oil and gas leases.
Jeff Essmann retweeted
Time for Lyndon Johnson's Daisy ad, interspersed with IRGC's "death to America", CNN "days from a nuclear weapon", and a mushroom cloud. The whining about gas or diesel or any other price needs to be countered with why we need to temporarily sacrifice. The greatest generation vs the young woman who lives in dread over a coffee shop closing in one of the safest places on earth.

Imagine: Your Montana-based church, religious nonprofit, or charity decides to spend its own money to print signs or posters urging voters to reject a ballot initiative related to abortion. Or imagine your local environmental nonprofit prints materials to distribute in opposition to a ballot initiative that would weaken Montana’s water-quality protections.
If I-194 passes, either organization’s spending could trigger automatic forfeiture of its Montana-conferred charter privileges, including limited liability and statutory protections against personal liability, if it falls within I-194’s definition of an “artificial person.”
To obtain reinstatement, the organization would have to disgorge the money spent, certify future compliance, and satisfy any additional conditions imposed by the state. The attorney general could also bring enforcement proceedings.
People act like I-194 is simply about whether “corporations are people” or whether large corporations can contribute directly to political candidates. But Montana law already prohibits direct corporate contributions to candidates and requires disclosure of certain political contributions and expenditures, including identifying who pays for campaign advertisements.
I-194 is far more sweeping than that. It restricts independent political spending by entities it defines as “artificial persons,” including incorporated churches, environmental nonprofits, charities, and other private organizations, even when that spending concerns ballot initiatives.
The Montana Libertarian Party STRONGLY OPPOSES Initiative I-194, the so-called “Montana Plan,” because it threatens the rights of Montanans to speak, associate, and advocate for political causes.
Promoted as a way to fight “dark money,” I-194 would prohibit businesses, nonprofits, unions, churches, and other private associations from spending money to support or oppose candidates, political parties, or ballot measures. Worse, a Montana organization could forfeit its state-granted charter privileges, including limited liability, for something as simple as printing political flyers or yard signs.
Despite its name, the Montana Plan particularly disadvantages Montana organizations. Although its restrictions also extend to out-of-state entities, Montana only has the power to revoke privileges granted under its own laws. Organizations incorporated elsewhere would retain the privileges conferred by their home states, while local organizations would risk losing theirs.
The First Amendment protects Americans’ right to advocate collectively, not merely as individuals. It also protects privacy in political association, including the privacy of donors who support political causes. Our Founders understood the value of anonymity: Hamilton, Madison, and Jay published the Federalist Papers under the pseudonym “Publius.”
The Montana Libertarian Party believes I-194 violates these fundamental protections and opposes empowering government to penalize private associations for political speech in the name of fighting corruption.
