The real issue is not whether inequality exists. It is whether government should be given the power to engineer results. Sowell argues that once the state starts assigning status to groups, freedom shrinks for everyone. The process itself is the danger, regardless of the noble intentions behind it. He... show more

Democracy is about more than the rule of the majority ... It is a recognition and acceptance that everyone has a basic right to freedom and justice; a right which is God-given and not state-given; a right so fundamental that no mere government is entitled to take it away.

Michael Kinsley argues for some government redistribution because capitalism creates inequality and not all of it is earned. Thomas Sowell’s reply is sharper: When governments design programs to equalize outcomes, they rarely produce equality. They produce something else. After studying these programs for two decades, Sowell found the same pattern repeatedly: the benefits go mainly to the more affluent members of the disadvantaged group, while the poorest within that group fall further behind. This wasn’t just an American failure. The same dynamic appeared in India and Malaysia. The intention is equality. The result is a different kind of inequality.

🚨 Ghalibaf is openly letting everyone know he is the man in charge. The more he speaks, the more it sounds like we’re witnessing a series of Freudian slips from a man who already sees himself as Iran’s real decision-maker. Listen to how many times he says “I.” Not “the government,” not “the system,” not “we” - just “I.” “I will decide.” At one point he effectively tells others to help formulate policy while he makes the final decisions. For a man who is supposedly just the Speaker of Parliament, he sounds remarkably comfortable speaking as the country’s ultimate authority. This is the same Ghalibaf who has been empowered and legitimized by Trump and his allies through negotiations that have elevated him from a regime insider to a central figure in Iran’s future. The more he talks, the more it appears that Ghalibaf—not the elusive Mojtaba Khamenei or the clerics—is consolidating power behind the scenes. The question is no longer whether there is a power struggle, but whether Ghalibaf has already won it.

“We’re in a proportional system that is designed to be able to best reflect the way that the people of Scotland have voted.” It doesn’t matter that the voting system fails to deliver proportional results, says Màiri McAllan. As ever, intentions are more important than outcomes.

The fact is Labour are still socialist and they deliberately set out to impose more government control over people's lives. That is where their whole belief starts. It starts with the power of government over the lives of the people. That is the reason why they increase taxation—more power for them over our money, less power for the citizen. That is why they multiply controls and bureaucracy—more power for them, less for the wealth creators of our country.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Huckabee: “I want there to be no misunderstanding. Americans, whether they understand it or not, need to be grateful to God for the Jewish people, and the foundation upon which freedom and the sanctity of the individual was founded. Because that is what separates our values from the values of totalitarianism and dictatorship. I want no part in that. I like freedom.” Wow. So he likes freedom but insists that Americans “NEED to be grateful to God for the Jewish people”. The U.S. Constitution provides for religious freedom. Everything he just said is a contradiction.

It’s interesting, Nathan is appealing the results of the recent Liberal Leadership race that was held in Scarborough but removing himself from the race regardless of what the results might reveal. In the second clip Nathan confirms that he is only staying on as a Federal MP until the end of Parliamentary session & then he is resigning. I feel like he should have resigned when he decided to run for the Provincial leadership position.

Electoral Act: What the political class seems to be scared of is the power that electronic transmission of results has. It enhances the transparency of the process and also ensures it has a deterrent effect, because the lowest and perhaps weakest link of our entire results management process is at the collation level. That is where results are manipulated. - Samson Itodo, Executive Director, YIAGA Africa #SundayPolitics

True democrats and honest people know that the MKP is supposed to lead the KZN government. The ANC would do well to adhere to the Freedom Charter which states: “NO GOVERNMENT CAN CLAIM LEGITIMACY UNLESS IT IS BASED ON THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!”

Dennis Itumbi: I belong to the people who say that it was absolutely unnecessary to stop the play from being performed. There is always the assumption that if you work for the government, you hold a certain position. This festival is fully funded by the Government of Kenya. To be fair, the government has a point to make rules. The issue of Butere Girls changed from a play to a school discipline issue #JKLive Jeff Koinange, MBS

Secretary Kennedy signed a PREP Act declaration that really took the health freedom movement by storm. It was tied to an Andes virus outbreak linked to a South Atlantic cruise ship. Del reminded him publicly of all the inspiring strategy conversations from the campaign, and observed that providing corporate liability protection for a virus that had killed three people out of seven billion had not been among them. Dr. Robert Malone pushed back on the pushback. He pointed out that the declaration is specifically and narrowly tied to the MV Hondius incident and close contacts in the transmission chain, and that it authorizes none of the things the PREP Act has historically been used to enable. Del took the correction. His position is not that Kennedy issued a broad or dangerous declaration. His position is that invoking the PREP Act at all, for any reason, is a media and policy problem in itself, because liability protection for corporate interests should not be the default tool regardless of how narrowly it is applied. He is not worried about Kennedy's intentions. He knows the man and believes he is doing everything he can inside a genuinely corrupt system. But the trust this community has placed in The HighWire is built on Del saying exactly what he thinks, and that is not changing.👇

In this Oxford Union speech, Dr Kizza Besigye argues against the very approach the state is currently trying him for; trying to use firearms to overthrow the government. He argues that if the people’s post independence struggle is a struggle to regain citizenship, using guns to change government is not a fundamental change but a mere change of guards which simply takes power from one set of warlords to the next and that it portends even worse outcomes.

One of John McAfee's final messages to the world: "Some of you may be living an existence of dissatisfaction... of emptiness... of longing." "This sense of longing... is really your loss of freedom. And it is freedom for which you yearn." "And you have none in this government. A government... which started out with the people being free and the government being our servants. It has become the government is free... and it's the people that are the servants." "You have woken up to your reality. That is what you are feeling." "Wake up a bit more and do something about it."

Sad to say that there is no expenditure being made by the State Government of #Odisha for the people of this state and for their development. Time and again this has been brought to the attention of #Odisha Government by Biju Janata Dal that there must be some expenditure for the development of the people of the state, but they seem to be totally neglectful about this. Everyone is suffering. It's not exclusive to any people, it is everyone that is suffering. It's like they're playing on empty vessels, and we all know that empty vessels make a good sound, and that's what they're satisfied by. #BJDWithOdisha

#WATCH | Guwahati: On CM HB Sarma's statement, Assam Congress MLA Abdur Rahim Ahmed says, "...This is a completely political issue. He (CM Sarma) is raising all these questions to divert people's attention from the main issues of Assam. This is an issue of national security, there is the Home Department of the Central Government, there is the IB. This is a matter of 2015. So what was the government doing all this time? If the state government had the information, it should have given it to the central government. I think our Chief Minister has completely failed in running the government. He has failed on every issue, he has also failed on the issue of development. There is so much unemployment, people are very angry and they have come to know that they cannot form the government in 2026..."

When the Government announced its social media ban for under-16s, it published an indicative list of platforms that included Facebook, Instagram and X. BlueSky was nowhere to be seen. The Government has since rowed back, insisting that it was only an indicative list. We think it is more than a coincidence that these perceived centre-right platforms were included from the outset, while the left-leaning platform was omitted. In Australia, where this Government borrowed the idea for the ban, BlueSky was not on the list. In typical fashion, however, it has since volunteered to be included. Once Ofcom has finalised the regulations, we will have a clearer idea of what qualifies a platform for the ban. In the latest episode of the FSU Podcast, Lord Young argues that the initial decision not to include BlueSky points to something quite alarming: that this is a selective ban. The problem with a selective ban is whether Ofcom can genuinely be trusted to make politically impartial decisions that do not benefit the Government of the day. That concern is particularly pertinent at the moment, given that the Government is pushing through legislation to give 16-year-olds the vote.
