"Socialists have a remarkable lack of interest in how wealth is created. As far as they know, wealth just exists somehow, and the only interesting question is how to redistribute it,” Thomas Sowell said. If Mamdani wants to unveil billions in new programs he should be far more concerned with wealth creation that redistribution... America Reports Sandra Smith

Even the supposedly "far-right" adopt leftist worldviews. Being of a place is all about "feeling". Reform are set to fail if they cannot even explain what a British person is.

So this is the reason they even went as far as installing hidden cameras in the toilet… just to monitor if the nanny isn’t stealing food? This is honestly painful to watch.

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: "We know that Department of Government Efficiency is NOT about saving money...the one thing they are CONSISTENTLY doing, and doing aggressively as possible...is that they are aggregating DATA...from what appears to be EVERY agency in the government...WHY are they doing that?

Why is the smoke and ash traveling so far? Artificial pressure systems, aerosols and various other ways they manipulate the climate. If these fires are even what they say. Tons of regular people questioning them though.

Massie: They are trying to gaslight folks by saying this is Venezuela’s money even though they have stolen the oil and are selling it. Trump speaks as if he’s going to spend this money any way he pleases. That would be a violation of the Constitution .Pablo Manríquez: What do you make of Trump banking the Venezuelan oil money in Qatar? Massie: I think that was him hedging his bets. I think they were concerned that the courts would seize the money and find what he is doing unconstitutional. I think if they try to spend money outside of the Constitution, they’ll use that pot of money they are keeping in Qatar.

“As a Nigerian, the number one Goliath in your life today is we the politicians. As we all recall what the author of the book ‘Why Nations Fail,’ James Robinson, said: ‘So many nations know what to do to succeed, but they refuse to do it.’ An example of such a nation is Nigeria.” -Mr. Peter Obi speaking at an event in Abuja today.

Are you far right?… Labour seem to think so. The far right are of a tiny number in this country and are dangerous, just as the far left are, they are extremists, we are definitely not that.

Late-stage welfare statism is claiming disability for acne and food intolerance. But that’s the incentive of the welfare state and that’s how you end up with some 25% of the population claiming disability. Of course people are going to game the system. It’s free money, and it’s other people’s money. So the government has zero incentive to spend less or spend it wisely. And the parasites have every incentive to grab as much as they can. This is what legal plunder produces. A society that disincentivizes production and incentivizes parasitism. One where claiming disability for fucking acne becomes a rational move.

Omid Memarian, Iranian political analyst: "What they are doing to Iran now is what they did in Gaza — on a far, far larger scale." The war has shifted from military targets to civilizational destruction. This is no longer about the Islamic Republic or regime change. It is the destruction of Iran as a nation, as a people, as a civilization that has existed for thousands of years. Under international law, striking civilian infrastructure is a war crime.

The fossil fuel industry isn't in the business of providing energy. They're in the business of making as much money as they can. And in the process if they destroy our planet, so what? It's time to hold them accountable.

“They are saying next year they will start paying tax. I told my fellow Christians, this tax we are the one to be paying it, but as far as Islamic people is concerned, they will never pay that tax.”
