Democracy doesn't need to be fixed, it works exactly as intended. We need to admit that our secular religion of democracy is dragging us all into a fate worse than Hell (global Brazil) and find a better system.

“If you are in this country illegally, it is virtually impossible for you to live in this country and not commit additional legal violations—working without authorization, identity theft. There’s a lot of illegality that goes on when you are breaking the law.” @DHSGenCounsel

Going to be honest, I respect the hell out of this
Real libertarianism is going to end tragically, but at least it will have been tried

A Europa será destruída por mulheres que projetam naqueles animais a maternidade que cabia aos filhos que elas abortaram.

Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen.
I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn.
And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.
A leader can, in fact, do things.
J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

Contre les émeutiers, j'ai un plan simple en 4 mesures.
1️⃣ Je rétablis la loi anti-casseurs, que François Mitterrand a abrogée.
2️⃣ Je rétablis les peines planchers, pour que les juges prononcent un minimum de sanctions.
3️⃣ Je fais payer les dégâts aux coupables et à leurs familles.
4️⃣ J'expulse d'emblée les étrangers et les sans-papiers arrêtés. Les binationaux condamnés seront déchus de la nationalité française et renvoyés dans le pays qu'ils disent aimer.
Ce sont les seules solutions pour ramener la paix dans les rues de France.

One thing to consider is that none of this information gets deleted. The feds have it forever. Jack Smith was using the DOJ to create of a map of the right -- its organizations, donors, employees, etc -- and, based on what we know from whistleblowers, he was largely successful. This information remains at DOJ and the next Dem admin will be able to pick up right where he left off.
EXCLUSIVE: New whistleblower reporting via @ChuckGrassley reveals that personal payroll data for the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) was collected by Jack Smith’s team.
The financial data included CPI employees’ medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage, along with a CPI bank statement.
BACK STORY: In fall 2025, Grassley revealed that CPI was one of 430 groups subpoenaed or targeted by Jack Smith as part of the Arctic Frost probe, which laid the foundation for the Jan. 6 investigation.
The new reporting shows that Smith’s collection of data and financial records was broader than previously reported.
While Smith had a mandate to investigate Jan. 6, the collection of CPI’s February 2023 payroll data appears to go beyond the scope.
Critics, including Grassley and @SenJudiciaryGOP say Smith’s sweeping data collection aimed to map the entire Republican network.
NOTE: Combining data sets from donors, voter registration, lawmakers’ phone records (not contents), and financial transactions is far more revealing and intrusive.
It can reveal a network as well as the frequency of the contact and strength of relationship.
Smith has defended the overall investigation as fact-driven and non-political.

The funny thing about the modern left is that because it is not philosophically equipped to build real community or to foster authentic human solidarity, it always ends up being the political home of the *losing* (and thus "grieving") bourgeois secular individualists.

Lindsay is a paranoid weirdo who absolutely despises right wingers. The good news though is that he has absolutely zero cultural influence outside of the extremely narrow little cult of personality that he’s built up among a relatively small group of mid-level neocon influencers. Beyond that, nobody knows who he is, and nothing he’s ever written, said, or created has made its way into mass culture, or ever will. Stop a thousand random people on the street and not a single one of them will know the name James Lindsay. And that’s precisely the thing that makes this raging narcissist so angry.
James Lindsay, "anti-Communist," accused Amanda Milius of dog-whistling to groypers because she stood next to a portrait of the most famous anti-Communist strategist in American history.

If you bought a MAGA hat between 2021-2025, Jack Smith had a spreadsheet with your name and home address. Let that sink in….
Thanks to Senator @ChuckGrassley & @SenJudiciaryGOP for bringing transparency!
Time to hold Jack Smith accountable! @ItsYourGov

A big part of center-leftism is people thinking they are good at telling who is trustworthy based on tone, mannerisms, diction, titles, and prestige. So you can show them examples like this, and they’ll say “but the people who went after Trump were good, serious people just upholding the law, while the investigation into Omar is clearly political persecution.”
The issue is that the “good person signs” libs rely on are very simple and easy to fake, and the majority of people they trust have indeed just learned this as a parlor trick, consciously or unconsciously. Whether someone speaks in soothing NPR-ese does not actually tell you whether they are honest or know what they’re talking about, and in fact in the modern day probably anticorrelates with trustworthiness.

Of course he name drops an obscure Italian-American communist who was against America's participation in World War 2 and was investigated by the FBI for his ties to the international communist party.
Of all the great men and women of Italian descent who've contributed to New York City and the United States, this is the idiot he picks.
He is physically incapable of being anything other than a loathsome propagandist for communism.
As the most prominent Italian-American in city government, please allow me to formally disinvite you from ever mentioning Italian heritage ever again.
And yes, we Italians came here to work, create businesses, dig the subways, build the buildings -- and it was indeed a struggle. A struggle a rich kid like Zohran could never know. But we didn't ask for any handouts. There was no welfare, millions of us came here knowing there was only ourselves, our work, and our community -- and we thrived. We wanted to become Americans, and our people were proud to learn the language and wave the American flag.
And when the time came, millions of Italian-Americans returned to Europe to fight World War 2, my father included. Many of them had to fight their own former countrymen in Mussolini's Italy. And they did exactly that, because they were nothing less than Americans.
Quite the opposite of the current immigrant situation championed by people like Zohran, where we invite lazy and entitled foreigners to loot the treasury without asking anything in return, as they resentfully fly the flags of their own nations -- and could never be counted on to defend America.
My mother was a widow who raised five children on her own, working in a button factory. We didn't take a penny of government assistance. We relied on ourselves. It was hard work, but we did it, and we were grateful. And today I sit on the City Council, representing the very neighborhood I grew up in.
That's what being an Italian-American in New York means. Not the communist propaganda Zohran is pushing here.
It's about hard work, independence, heritage, and most importantly, pride in being an American above all else.

What has happened to the WSJ?
I’ve subscribed for years.
But the financial information is largely gone - and a concentration on markets, investing and economics has given way to Politico style blogging.
The Bureau Chief is a former Washington Post lefty who has hired former Politico and Huffington Post activists to cover economics.
It’s not working.
They have reporters now who don’t understand finance.
You open the app in the morning and all you see is political commentary and partisan attacks.
It’s become a paid Politico style publication and everyone knows it.
It’s fallen - and needs to go back to its roots of economic reporting. There are too many left wing political commentary outlets already.
