Do I have any followers in the San Bernardino area. I need a favor. There is a dog I’m trying to rescue scheduled for death tomorrow

So let me get this straight, hormones make women crazy. Crazy enough to kill three innocent babies and be exonerated of guilt, but prescribing hormones to children who think they’re the opposite gender has no psychological effects whatsoever?
Did I get that right?

The university system is an institution almost fully controlled by the Woke Left. It will run cities, states, and societies comparably, and this is worth focusing on.
Huge increases in expenses facilitated by foolish state intervention with real costs piled onto the people.
Dysfunctional, expansive, expensive, and meddling administrative bureaucratic apparatus.
Complete failure of mission to the point of threatening collapse.
Blatant incompetence throughout the structure and elevation of incompetence through bogus mechanisms everyone is then required to respect and support.
Completely dysfunctional sociocultural environment under its mismanagement.
Laughing stock of most of the outside world.
And more.

Our medical system is a joke. I called an office to find out what an ear cleaning would cost with Medicare, no supplemental. They told me they had no way of knowing until after I had the procedure and they then billed Medicare. It's insane what they get away with.
Excellent post!
I am a hardcore capitalist and I want the H-1B program abolished entirely.
Not reformed. Abolished.
Because last year America graduated 134,153 computer science students and imported 121,550 foreign tech workers into the same field.
Nearly one for one. In the single career we spent a decade telling every kid in this country to enter.
We told them to learn to code. They did it. Then we built a parallel pipeline of almost identical size and let the two groups bid against each other.
That is not a labor shortage. A shortage means you cannot find people. We found them, we graduated 134,000 of them, and we brought in 121,000 more anyway, because the second group cannot quit.
It was never about skill. It was about leverage.
Now the part that will confuse people who want me in a box.
I believe in markets, in profit, and in a company's right to run itself without a bureaucrat reading over its shoulder. I have spent my career inside corporations making them leaner and faster and I have never apologized for it once.
I am also an American first, and this is national suicide.
I have watched this from inside those buildings for twenty years. It has not slowed. It has grown, it has become normal, and the people running it stopped feeling anything about it a long time ago.
A market that must import its labor because the domestic version has bargaining power is not a free market. It is a subsidy with a lanyard.
And here is what makes it worse.
We invented this industry. Ross Perot built EDS in Dallas in 1962 with a thousand dollars and turned data processing into something a corporation could buy. Americans wrote the playbook, trained the workforce, and set the global standard. The finest IT professionals on earth were ours, and they were better, faster and cheaper than the alternative because we had built the whole discipline from nothing.
Then we sold the playbook and hired the students.
So end it. No H-1B. No OPT. A million dollar fee per foreign worker, charged annually rather than once. Graduate on a student visa and you go home. And a 200 percent tax on offshore outsourcing, because moving the desk overseas is the same transaction as importing the worker, just with the paperwork done in a different building.
Here is the thing almost nobody arguing about this knows.
The fee already happened.
A presidential proclamation on the nineteenth of September in 2025 imposed a $100,000 payment on new H-1B petitions, in force at 12:01 in the morning on the twenty first.
On the eighth of June this year a federal district court in Massachusetts vacated the guidance implementing it. DHS asked the First Circuit for a stay. On the twenty fourth of July the First Circuit said no. DHS says it disagrees, will comply, and still intends to collect if the order is ever lifted.
The executive tried this exact mechanism at one tenth my price and the courts dismantled it in nine months.
So the obstacle is not a president who will not act. Congress wrote the statute in 1990 and Congress alone can repeal it.
That is the address. Not the White House. The building across the street that has done nothing for 36 years.
Both parties have had every one of those years.
Write that down.

Sturgis bikers are packing up and rolling out.
They’re headed straight to Dearborn, Michigan to take on the Islamic crusade against Jake Lang.
The gloves are coming off.

It's sooooo obvious
She almost went speechless mid-sentence. One photo of Afghan women in the 60s wrecked her entire argument about "progress" — and what she says next about hijabs, rights, and freedom will have you rethinking everything you thought you knew. What if everything you were told about "modernization" was a lie?

This is insane.
Europe leads the world in heat deaths per capita.
Not Africa. Not the Gulf. Not southeast Asia. Europe, where the equator does not run through Brussels.
Here is why.
About 20 percent of European households have air conditioning. In North America it is 76 percent, and in the United States closer to 90.
Now the country by country, because the aggregate hides who is actually doing this.
Germany. Three percent of households have AC. Roughly 6,300 heat deaths in the summer of 2024.
The United Kingdom. Five percent.
France. About 24 percent nationally, and this is the country that in June had 40 people drown seeking relief from the heat.
Spain sits around 41 percent and lost more than 6,700 people in 2024. Italy is at 56 percent and still led the continent, with 18,800 dead in 2022 and 13,800 in 2023.
By death rate, the worst are Greece at 574 per million, Bulgaria at 530, and Serbia at 379.
And look at Italy, because Italy is the proof.
In 2003, ten to fifteen percent of Italian households had air conditioning. Today it is 56 percent. They did not need a treaty or a moral awakening. They bought units.
Now the number that should end the argument.
The World Health Organization attributes roughly 175,000 deaths a year in Europe to heat.
Take twenty years of that. Apply the reduction that comes from getting a continent from twenty percent coverage to American levels, and you are somewhere between half a million and 1.2 million people who would still be alive.
I will be honest about the range because the modelling is genuinely uncertain, and I would rather give you the floor and the ceiling than the number that flatters the argument. Even the conservative estimate is half a million human beings.
Deaths concentrate almost entirely among the old. The over-80s account for about two thirds of European heat deaths. The over-65s account for about 93 percent.
This is grandmothers, in apartments, on nights that never drop below 25 degrees, over consecutive days, until the body cannot recover.
Meanwhile Spain, Italy and Greece have passed decrees limiting how cool public buildings may be kept. Geneva issues something like four residential permits a year. France's energy rating system penalizes installation.
They have regulated the machine that saves the grandmothers.
And the objection is emissions. Air conditioning is currently about half a percent of European household energy use. France runs one of the most decarbonized grids on earth and would simply need more of what it already has.
I am not telling Europe how to live. Plenty of it is lovely and I will be in Switzerland at Christmas.
But there is a device. It costs a few hundred euros. It has existed for a century.
The continent that lectures the world about protecting the vulnerable has decided that a window unit is a bigger threat than a heat wave.
The receipts always show up.

Thomas Sowell spent decades documenting what the Great Society actually did to black American families, and the evidence is brutal if you're willing to read it honestly.
In 1960, before Lyndon Johnson signed a single piece of Great Society legislation, roughly 22% of black children lived in single-parent homes. By 1980, that number had climbed past 50%. By 1995, it was near 70%. Slavery didn't produce those numbers. Jim Crow didn't produce those numbers. A federal welfare apparatus that penalized marriage, rewarded dependency, and treated fathers as financial liabilities produced those numbers. The Aid to Families with Dependent Children program (AFDC) made a man's presence in the household a disqualifying factor for benefits. Washington literally paid women to be unmarried and paid them more for each additional child. You design incentives, you get outcomes. This is not complicated.
Sowell's deeper point, the one that gets buried, is that black family stability was actually improving before federal intervention accelerated. Black poverty rates fell sharply between 1940 and 1960, before the Great Society existed. Black entrepreneurship, fraternal organizations, and two-parent households were all trending in the right direction under conditions that Great Society architects later described as hopeless. The War on Poverty didn't rescue a broken community; it interrupted a recovery.
Free market thinkers from Sowell to Walter Williams explained that price floors on labor (minimum wage laws), urban renewal projects that bulldozed black business districts in cities like Cincinnati and Atlanta, and the school assignment systems that trapped poor children in failing institutions all compounded the welfare trap systematically. Each intervention generated a problem that justified the next intervention. Government failure reliably became the argument for more government.
The cruelty here is structural. Politicians got votes. Bureaucrats got budgets. Social workers got caseloads. And three generations of children grew up without fathers in the home, with all the documented downstream effects on education, incarceration, and earnings that researchers have been tracking ever since. Everyone in that system got what they wanted except the people the system claimed to serve.
🚨 WPATH has conceded in court that its "Standards of Care" is merely an opinion. WPATH says it represents one side of an unsettled scientific debate marked by uncertainty — and physicains & orgs that rely on WPATH as the standard of care must bear "independent responsibility."/1

Taqiyya:
“Lying is a strategy to advance Islam is called taqiyyah, or "holy deception." Under taqiyyah, a Muslim is allowed to lie and say anything to pull the wool over the eyes of the non-Muslims and deceive them”
WOW. This brave Christian migrant from Iran walked up and WENT BERSERK on the proposed Islamic Center in McKinney, TX - straight to the council's face The whole building ERUPTED after his dire warning: "I'm a Sharia law survivor from Iran." "I'm TELLING YOU, this is a BAD idea and you're going to REGRET not listening to people like us who lived under Sharia law!" "I'm here to tell you this is a DANGEROUS ideology you're allowing in your country. Every country that is Islamic now, it used to be a Christian country and we were soft Christians." "And we allowed these people to come in, bring their Sharia law into our countries and slowly k*ll us off left and right!"
