A Free Press reporter asks New Yorkers if socialism is good for America.
They all say yes.
Then she brings out Daniel Di Martino, who fled Venezuela, and they get a firsthand horror story they weren’t ready for.
NEW YORKER: “I think socialism is actually really good for society.”
DI MARTINO: “Are you familiar with how socialism worked out in other countries historically?”
NEW YORKER: “Just because it didn’t work out so well in other parts of the world doesn’t mean it won’t work out well for New York.”
Di Martino’s family lived through the promises these voters are buying.
DI MARTINO: “My family went from making $2,000 a month 20 years ago to $100 a month in 2016. That was because the government gave everything you can imagine for free.”
“We went from being a normal middle-class family with a car and then no electricity, no water.”
Asked if they support “government grocery stores,” the answer is just as confident.
NEW YORKER: “Of course I do.”
So Di Martino explains what grocery shopping looked like under socialism.
DI MARTINO: “There was very little supply of chicken, toilet paper. It was a line for blocks and blocks for a grocery store.”
NEW YORKER: “What happened in Venezuela isn’t going to happen here. The policy is more focused on helping people out.”
A man describes lines stretching for blocks just to buy chicken and toilet paper, and a Mamdani voter waves it away. Because THIS time, they’re sure it will work.
REPORTER: “You know, they have tried that in the Soviet Union from where my parents and my grandparents are from. All they remember of grocery stores is empty shelves.”
DI MARTINO: “The DSA went to Venezuela just last year to support the dictator and say that he won the election that he didn’t.”
NEW YORKER: “I had no idea. I did not know.”
DI MARTINO: “Government rent control. It’s going to stop people from renting apartments because they’re not going to be able to profit. There are going to be fewer apartments for rent.”
NEW YORKER: “That’s a good point. I agree with that. Okay. I understand more about socialism now for sure.”
Socialism always sounds good to people who’ve never had to live under it.
Those who have never want to live under it again.
What a cocksucker
.@SenateGOP is committed to being here and doing whatever it takes to finish this legislative session strong and get as much done as we can for the American people.

When armed ranchers pointed rifles at federal agents in 2014, the Bureau of Land Management had to abandon the roundup and handed the cattle back.
Bundy had grazed on federal land without permits or fees since 1993. Courts ordered the herd removed and slapped him with over a million in fines.
After the BLM started seizing cattle, hundreds showed up in Bunkerville. At the I-15 overpass supporters aimed guns at officers, and the feds chose to quit rather than force a gunfight.
Prosecutors later charged Bundy, Ammon, Ryan, and others. Judge Navarro declared a mistrial after the government withheld evidence, then dismissed the case in 2018. The Ninth Circuit upheld that ruling for prosecutorial misconduct. The earlier grazing orders stayed in place.
But they’re never giving up on taking away your guns.

🚨 BREAKING: JOHN THUNE has been re-elected as Senate Republican Leader
Of COURSE he has. We've got a LOT of primarying to do in 2028.
Spineless RINO losers.
cowards
.@SeaPubSchools school board just voted unanimously to CHALLENGE the newly passed state initiative to ban boys from girls' sports.
The board abruptly ended the meeting after the vote, so parents couldn’t respond.
They want to overturn the will of the voters.
These are the people who scream “no kings!”
You can’t make this up

Wow. What an entitled rant:
“Parents who disagree with me, you don’t have a right to challenge me, send your kids to private school instead. Pay twice.”

American believes there is likely no way to avoid a civil war because of the alliance of Muslims and Liberals
“Why would they want to conquer Texas? Well, if you think about it, agriculture, border, oil, landmass. If they can conquer Texas, they're taking us all down. I started having conversations with people and they're like, I don't know how we get the horse back into the barn at this point.
And the cowboys are like, if the police and politicians won't stand up, we're going to have to fight. And ultimately, I think that we're going to have to fight to save our country. I think we're going to head into another civil war.
Because you have 1.2% Muslims, but you have 53% of the crazy progressive liberals backing them up, helping them get elected. And that's exactly what happened in 1979 Iran — In 1979, they were bankers, lawyers, doctors. They could wear bikinis. They were secular. They were Jewish. They were Christian. They were Catholic. And I guess you've got the same woman who like the liberals who think they don't have enough freedom. So they assisted the IRGC thinking they would get more freedom. And once they completely took over and women were fully covered, they executed about 30,000 of them. So these people don't realize that they're just a pawn in their game”
People don’t realize this wasn’t that long ago, this happened in the 80s. The same people are alive and haven’t stopped planning our takeover and the results will be the same. They will take up over and start executing us
If you use AI to ask who would win a civil war, it’s conservatives by a landslide

Here's what I think is going on here:
-Patty Murray is not running for reelection
-Bob is going to run for her seat
-Bob suspects Chris also wants to run for her seat
-Bob is getting some early shots in
-Bob doesn't care about student outcomes or would have spoken out about how bad Chris sucks many, many years ago.
All caught up?
Ah Bill is threatening your 401k to help him get total control of A.I. systems. Great 🙄
Bill Gates and CBS News suggest a Global Catastrophe or maybe an Attack on everyone’s 401k (their “Nest Egg) might be what it takes to regulate AI
“It may be that we have to suffer a few of the negatives uhh before we respond fully as we should.”
Why is Bill Gates still here?

Bill Gates is once again telling us his evil plan before it actually happens.
He and his globalist scum friends want full government control over AI, so they’re “predicting” a massive AI attack on people’s wallets so that they willingly hand over that power to them.

This is one of my favorite @ComicDaveSmith clips in a long time, and it's something we should absolutely be talking about more:
Academia is a Ponzi scheme and a gov't welfare program that primarily serves to start kids' adult lives off in debt.
"If Thomas Sowell's or FA Hayek's economics were followed, all of academia is put out of business. So, shocking that academia hasn't valued them as being really intelligent thinkers. It's directly against their incentives."
"Academia is entirely a government program. It's completely artificial. There's no market demand for it...Student loans is a government program....Pick an 18 year-old and walk into a bank and say, 'I want a $200,000 loan,' but for a business, for a house...you'll get laughed out of the bank."
"It's unbelievable there's not one college professor who feels a moral obligation on day one to go, 'Hey, I'm teaching you environmental studies, and they're charging you 200 grand for this degree; you should really think about whether this is worth it.'"
"College is a multi-trillion dollar program. Where did we take that from? Who did we take that from? What else might we have had if we hadn't done this?"
"You've got your kids all going into debt on essentially a welfare program, but who gets the welfare? Not even the kids. The kids just get the debt."
On a personal note, I spent six years in higher education. I got a Masters in Computer Science (CS) from one of the best CS schools in the country. It did not take long once I got out into the real world to see how much more impressive programmers are just in the games industry than in academia. All of CS is just chasing private industry and trying to teach their students what those people accomplished.
• Unix and C++ were invented at Bell Labs
• Java was invented at Sun Microsystems
• The GUI was developed at Xerox and put into mass production by Apple
• Every single tier 1 ISP that laid the cables to make the internet as you know it possible are private sector businesses
I was even studying AI in grad school, and of course the AI breakthrough came out of the private sector when academia was busy fiddling around with dead-end tech demos that would never pass the Turing Test.
College is an outdated model from time when that was where you went to find all the books. Government student loan programs need to be ended NOW, and if you're someone who takes part in the hiring process at your company, do what I did and encourage your company to remove college degrees as a prerequisite for applying. This madness must stop. It's turning all of our kids into socialists because they blame the failures of this system on capitalism because that's what their Marxist college professors who've never worked in the real world told them to blame it on.

Washington voters passed I-638 with 56% of the vote. Protect girls' sports. Done.
Last night the Seattle School Board voted 7–0, after meeting behind closed doors, to hire lawyers and fight it in court.
This is the same district with an $87 million shortfall. The same district looking at closing 10 school buildings. The same superintendent who says they could be bankrupt next year.
No money to keep neighborhood schools open. Plenty of money for lawyers to overturn your vote.
Respect the vote, Warriors. 🇺🇸

Tooooo fucking late about the trust part
Senator Ashley Moody DEMANDS Senate Republican leadership to keep the chamber in session and use its remaining time in the majority to deliver on America First Policies.
“We can work the rest of this week, and we can work for the next two months—We’re in the majority!”
Moody is calling on the Senate to work these next two months to pass the SAVE America Act, confirm Trump’s nominations and deliver on America First.
The Senate must do this, if they want to gain the trust back of the American people.

A feminist tells the table the patriarchy is oppressing her. So the host asks her, “How?”
It’s the simplest question in the world, and it completely breaks her.
Watch how fast it all falls apart.
HOST: “You believe we live in the patriarchy?”
GUEST: “I do.”
HOST: “Are you oppressed?”
GUEST: “I would say so.”
HOST: “How so? How are you oppressed?”
GUEST: “I’m not answering the same questions over and over again.”
She’s sure she’s a victim. She just won’t say how. And nothing is going to change her mind.
GUEST: “Nobody can change my mind. So there’s no point in trying.”
HOST: “Well, I’m not really interested in changing your mind. I’m more interested in exploring your perspective.”
GUEST: “This is just ridiculous. You’ve been berating me about the patriarchy.”
HOST: “I’ve been pretty polite. I don’t think I’ve been berating you.”
So the host tries one more time.
HOST: “But I want to know how you’re oppressed.”
GUEST: “Did I not tell you all the ways that I feel oppressed?”
HOST: “You’ve established feelings, but not facts.”
GUEST: “I’m gonna leave it at my feelings then.”
Feelings over facts. That’s the whole ideology in three words.

We need to bring back insane asylums!
Conservatives are under attack and it's because the left keeps JUSTIFYING it.
