DSA candidate Tim Denson tries to sell the crowd on “democratizing the workplace” and says Walmart should belong to the workers.
Big mistake. The guy 6 ft away from him grew up in Venezuela. And he’s heard this communist fairy tale before.
DANIEL DI MARTINO: “So you want to take it [Walmart] from its owners and have the workers do what?”
TIM DENSON: “I want the workers to own it and get paid better and have better benefits and be able to provide better lives for their families.”
DI MARTINO: “We can buy shares in Walmart right now. In fact, all of the SpaceX workers became millionaires overnight.”
“You can start a workers’ cooperative right now. It’s legal, but under a socialist country, you’re not allowed to own your own property and start your own private corporation.”
Denson tried to refute Di Martino’s point. Then Di Martino dropped this line on him:
DI MARTINO: “It’s very easy to be a socialist in a capitalist country. It’s illegal to be a capitalist in a socialist country. That is the difference.”
[audience applause]
Then it got personal:
DI MARTINO: “When I had to go to the grocery store, Tim, I had to put my fingerprint in a scanning machine so that they would tell me what I was allowed to purchase.”
“And I could only go Mondays and Saturdays because we have to ration food, because that’s what happens when there’s no profit motive and the farmers, their food is confiscated because they had to sell it to the government and everybody else at the price the government tells the farmers.”
“My mom made chocolate bonbons for parties.”
“Well, people have a right to chocolate, so we had a price control on chocolate.”
“So my mom had to buy counterfeit chocolate, put it in black bags as if we were cocaine drug dealers. That’s what socialism was in Venezuela. That’s what worker ownership of the means of production is.”
“Where has it ever worked?”
Denson had no answer. Because there isn’t one.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps:
-It’s ‘sleight of hand’
-It’s ‘bated breath’
-It’s ‘lo and behold’
-It's 'buck naked'
-It’s ‘brass tacks’
-It’s ‘free rein’
-It’s ‘toe the line'

Man takes down police over Flock point by point, "You all are shooting yourselves in the foot and losing the public's trust."
"We can't regulate ourselves out of this situation. The only way you can align with the public on Flock is to turn the damn things off."

Long before the Council of Nicaea, long before medieval cathedrals, and long before Christianity became a dominant force in the Roman world, Christians were already making an extraordinary confession: Jesus Christ is Lord.
And this page from Papyrus 46 one of our earliest physical witnesses to that confession. I just launched the newest manuscript in my facsimile collection and it is none other than the very test of Philippians 2 that contains this amazing “Christ Hymn.” Check it out and get your own personal copy at manuscriptshop.com/products/….
Mr Everest has become disgusting. Leave it alone.
This is Camp IV on Mt Everest (~7,900 m), the highest campsite on Earth and the final stop before the summit.
What should be one of the most extraordinary places on the planet has, in many ways, become one of the ugliest faces of Everest's commercialisation. Abandoned tents, empty oxygen bottles, food cans, torn gear, and other waste are scattered across the South Col, turning the world's highest campsite into a graveyard of climbing equipment.
The mountain deserves better.

The Flint Hills of Kansas.
12,000 acres of native prairie that has never been plowed.
Topsoil is maybe 2 inches deep. Limestone right below the surface. You can't stick a plow in it.
So for over 100 years, ranchers have worked WITH this land instead of against it.
Every spring, they burn 70-80% of this country on purpose.
Prescribed fire clears old growth, forces fresh native grass, and cattle gain an extra 0.2 to 0.4 pounds per day on burned ground.
At $3-4/lb, that's real money per head.
Ferguson Ranch has been running cattle here since 1919.
300 fall-calving cows. 300-350 spring-calving cows. Mostly black Angus.
About 30 days a year, 80% of all the cattle in the Flint Hills get shipped out.
Then there's not a hoof on this country until next May.
The last unplowed native tallgrass prairie in North America stays that way because ranchers burn it and graze it on a cycle that's been proven for over a century.

RED DAWN hit screens on this day in 1984.
Who remembers?
PARTISAN ROCK
“I never saw the brothers again. In time, this war, like every other war, ended. But I never forgot, and I come to this place often, though no one else does. In the early days of World War III, guerrillas, mostly children, placed the names of their lost upon this rock. They fought here alone and gave up their lives ‘so that this nation shall not perish from the earth.’”

I’ll soon be introducing a bill to withhold all federal funding for cameras used to track American citizens.

After perusing 25,000 comments in the past two days, most of which attempt to explain why Americans are voting for Communists, socialists, and antisemites in record numbers, I’ve done the only rational thing a man in my position can do; I’ve agreed to go on Real Time with Bill Maher this Friday to talk about it.
What could possibly go wrong?
I was also inspired by all the "sturm und drang" to make a quick commercial that highlights one of our many scholarship recipients who mastered a trade, and then went on to open her own business. Her name is Maryssa, and while I have no idea what her politics might be, I can assure you that her attitude, her initiative, and her work ethic are proof positive that the American Dream is still in reach, for any who would grab it and go.
Currently, we have $10 million in scholarships set aside to help people like Maryssa. People who want to build a prosperous life for themselves by learning a skill that's in demand and going to work. Apply at mikeroweWORKS.org.

10% of all the debt accumulated in the 250 year history of this country will be incurred in the first half of Trump’s second term, with Mike Johnson and John Thune leading Congress.
I’m unashamed to have been kicked off “team debt” for not going along with this.
At some point, we the people have to openly admit if someone is either elected or part of the bureaucracy, they are above the law.

Fauci in 2022: “I am very happy to testify before any congressional oversight committee.
I have nothing to hide. I can explain and validate everything that I’ve done.
I’m going to do what I need to do, and that is cooperate fully, because we have nothing to hide at all.”
