On this day in 1918 the Bolsheviks herded Tsar Nicholas II, Empress Alexandra, and their five children into a basement in Yekaterinburg and opened fire. The bullets bounced because the girls had diamonds sewn into their corsets. So the reds finished the job with bayonets, stabbing, crushing skulls, and butchering the children while they were still alive. Then they stripped the bodies, doused them in acid, burned what remained, and dumped the remains in a forest to hide the crime. This was the deliberate, sadistic murder of an entire family, including a sick little boy, by communist animals who needed the blood of innocents to cement their power. Never forget what the Bolsheviks were. Never forgive it.

Ashley Webb, the trans Democrat candidate in Maine, said he menstruates, and I found historical evidence to corroborate his claim. Kind of. You see, Napoleon’s army doctors called Egypt “the land of menstruating men.” They weren’t trolling, ancient Egyptians genuinely believed that when boys hit puberty, they started getting periods, marked by blood in their urine. Since it happened to nearly every man, it was celebrated as a sacred rite of passage into manhood. The truth however was that a parasite living in the Nile, where they drank and bathed, would burrow into their skin, lay eggs inside them, and cause chronic internal bleeding. TLDR: I think Ashley should go see a doctor.

As a young socialist, Hayek read Ludwig von Mises’ 1920 paper “Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth.” Mises showed that socialist central planning isn’t merely inefficient, it’s impossible. Without private property and genuine market prices, planners lack any rational way to allocate scarce resources or determine real costs and needs. Even Oskar Lange, a leading socialist in the calculation debate, effectively conceded the point. While he promoted “market socialism” with trial-and-error pricing by a central board, real-world socialist planners in Eastern Europe quietly relied on world capitalist market prices as a guide. Without external free-market price signals, pure socialism would be economically blind and coordination would collapse. Mises went further, arguing that interventionism, the “middle way” of government meddling, is inherently unstable. Each intervention creates problems that invite more interventions, eventually leading to full socialization. Price controls cause shortages, subsidies distort production, and the cycle continues until the economy is fully planned. The lesson is clear. Rational economics requires genuine market prices emerging from voluntary exchange and private property. Half-measures don’t stabilize the system. They accelerate the drift into central planning. The Austrian School understood this decades before the collapse of the Soviet bloc proved it in practice.

“We’re here to fuck all the white girls and fuck the government. We’re over here to breed, we are going to take over.” That’s what one of the Dewsbury grooming gang rapists told his victim. Not poverty. Not “cultural misunderstanding”. Not random crime by “Asians”. This was muslim men operating with a clear religious and racial ideology. White non-Muslim girls were “slags”, “trash”, and “kuffar whores”, fair game for grooming, gang rape, trafficking, and beatings. Muslim girls were “pure”. White girls deserved it. Some perpetrators quoted scripture and framed their actions as religiously justified superiority over infidels. When the government repeatedly sides with the ideological rapists over its own children, when it betrays fathers and communities trying to protect their daughters, don’t act shocked when people lose faith in the system and take matters into their own hands. This is demographic and cultural conquest. An existential attack on Britain enabled by the very people sworn to defend it. The absolutely filthy anti-white, anti-Christian racist Mehdi Hasan calls the Casey report and the whole push for truth “bullshit.” The rapists’ own words in court and the girls they destroyed say otherwise. Denial this loud only confirms who’s still protecting the narrative and why.

THOMAS SOWELL: “if you’re going to have reparations for slavery, it’s going to be the greatest transfer of wealth back and forth, because the number of Whites who were enslaved in North Africa by the Barbary Pirates exceeded the number of Africans enslaved in the United States.”

They were actors playing a role the industry manufactured and sold to you. Ice Cube was an educated, articulate guy who wrote the raps for the whole group, then went on to produce movies. Tupac was a poetic kid from performing arts school. He was an avid reader, never sold drugs, and his mother kept him disciplined. They were performers who knew the “gangster” image moved units.

“Capitalism is not a profit system, it is a profit and loss system, and the losses are more important than the profits.” —Milton Friedman But the US education system runs on the exact opposite principle. No failure allowed. Instead of closing or losing funding, failing schools get more taxpayer money, more administrators, and more programs. And bad teachers rarely face real consequences thanks to tenure and union protection. The “customers” (parents and kids) have almost no exit. Real per-pupil spending has nearly tripled since 1970 after inflation. NAEP scores flat or eroding in core skills for decades. PISA rankings middling at best, with math especially weak. Thomas Sowell diagnosed this in Inside American Education, asserting that the system is morally and intellectually bankrupt. It has turned into a propaganda operation more than an educator primarily pushing ideology, feelings, and self-esteem over knowledge and competence. With endless public money and zero market test, there is nothing forcing correction. Unions buy political protection so the failure machine keeps running. Friedman and Sowell both identified the same disease and the same cure, namely real competition and choice. Vouchers or education savings accounts let parents take the money and flee failure. Good schools grow, while bad ones finally face losses and must improve or die. Without the discipline of losses, mediocrity is subsidized forever. And the kids, especially in the worst districts, pay the permanent price. But that’s just the system working exactly as designed.

When economist George Stigler asked in 1971 who actually benefits when government regulates an industry, the answer, to the shock of no one, was the INDUSTRY itself. Regulators need experts, and the only experts available worked in the industry they’re now supposed to police, so agencies fill up with former executives and staffers hoping for a job back at the company they oversee. Stigler called this “regulatory capture.” No foul play and no laws broken. They’re just following the incentives in a system working as designed.

Lindsey Graham dies suddenly and you can already feel it, a ton of people are never gonna buy whatever explanation the government puts out. Doesn’t matter if they launch an investigation, release the autopsy, or let people see the body themselves. Most people have already clocked the reality that there’s nothing regular folks can actually do to force the full truth when the powerful decide to keep things quiet. The government treats its own business like it’s none of ours and it decides what the public “needs to know” and operates in the dark by default. That’s why the skepticism is automatic.

The welfare state has been more destructive to the black family than slavery just by restructuring the incentives. In 1960, nearly a century after emancipation, only about 22% of black children grew up in single-parent households. By 1990, after the Great Society welfare expansions, that number had more than tripled. Thomas Sowell has long shown this wasn’t the lingering shadow of slavery or some vague “legacy.” The destruction of the black family was the direct result of welfare policies that subsidized single motherhood and penalized marriage. The incentives changed, and family structure collapsed accordingly.

Sadiq Khan wants more immigrants in London. A majority isn’t enough for him. He looks at the transformed city and sees progress worth accelerating. You look at the same montage and see loss. Both sides acknowledge the old London is gone. They simply disagree on whether the new one is better. And that’s why these two visions can never be reconciled.

Decades later, it’s not controversial to say that Britain was the biggest loser of World War II. And government expansion made sure it stayed that way. The war bankrupted Britain so badly it needed a $3.75 billion American bailout just to survive, forcing its empire, which ruled a quarter of the world, to unravel brick by brick as colonies broke free. Yet instead of slashing taxes and freeing markets, it chose nationalization, a massive welfare state, crushing regulation that stifled recovery for decades, and later mass immigration. While America dominated economically, the Soviets expanded, China rose, and even Germany and Japan rebuilt as powerhouses, Britain remained diminished and overgoverned.

Admit any of this out loud today and your life gets torched before the sun sets. Yet in 1968 CBS let regular white Americans say these things on national television without apology or fear. An old woman shrugged off slavery guilt because her people had no part in it and told activists demanding land to go hunt down the actual slave owners instead. Then she went on to call out the massive gaps in family structure and illegitimacy that almost no whites replicated. Another woman said opportunity was handed out that summer yet many simply refused to grab it or accept the responsibility that comes with actual work. Surveys showed 40-53% of whites viewed lower morals and basic laziness as real group patterns, while only 15% blamed discrimination as the main cause. And yet here we are after generations of welfare expansion, endless victimhood programming, and total institutional capture by activists and their allies. The same stubborn patterns in family breakdown, crime involvement, and work ethic remain visible in the data, often worse where the new narrative took hold. But the majority never did fix the behaviors or incentives that worried people in ’68. They simply made noticing them a career ending offense while forcing everyone to pretend the only explanation left is eternal systemic racism.

Europe never recovered from 2008. In 2008 the EU economy was larger than America’s. Today the US produces nearly 50% more than the entire European Union combined with per capita GDP almost double Europe’s average. America chose innovation, energy abundance, and growth. Europe chose regulation, green self-sabotage, and welfare bloat. The gap is now a canyon, and it’s still widening. So don’t Europize America.

I’m not sure how they thought “be gay but don’t do gay things” would pan out. He tells the students some of them might become homosexual or lesbian. He calls it serious, says homosexuals can be judges or lawyers his unit has already arrested, and warns that anyone involved with an adult homosexual or another boy should stop because one in three will turn queer. Get caught and your parents find out first. Don’t get caught and your life still becomes a living hell.
