Think about the logic of this: If your neighboring state vows to annihilate your state, and then invades and murders and butchers 1,000 of your people, what response could possibly be UN-justified?

The only thing that ever made life easier for American workers is capitalism, which is basically free minds and free markets. Politicians just interfere and make everything worse than it would otherwise be - and get rich doing it.

Hope.

Unlike @AbdulElSayed, I’m an Arab who is actually from Israel. My family lived through the establishment of the state of Israel and what he calls the “Nakba.” The Holocaust was nothing like the events of the “Nakba” where my grandfather was told to flee by Arab leaders (not Jews) so the Arabs could “defeat the Jews.” He refused, and all the Arab residents who stayed were given citizenship. Those who fled, a large number by choice, were not permitted to return, as often happens in war. That is a catastrophe, a “nakba” of their own making. But there was no choice in the Holocaust, there was no citizenship for those who stayed. You are intentionally comparing a war and a genocide. They are not the same. Your vile attempt to co-opt the largest massacre of the Jewish people in history, the systematic murder of six million people simply because they were Jews, for your own dystopian pro-terror Muslim Brotherhood agenda is despicable. I see through you Abdul. You may be able to fool Western Americans with your garbage, but we know who you really are. یا کذاب ابن کذاب

Always good to meet my dear friend @JMilei. Javier, your courage and friendship mean so much to me and to the people of Israel. Israel has no better friend than you. ¡Viva la libertad! 🇮🇱❤️🇦🇷

Americans have never been richer. By nearly every objective measure, the average American lives better than his grandparents did, and the vast majority of Americans report being satisfied with their own lives. At the same time, they have rarely been angrier about the state of the country. That suggests national pessimism tells us less about how Americans are actually living than about how they perceive their country—an opinion they develop primarily through negatively biased news and social media. humanprogress.org/americas-p…

The basic issue in the world today is between two principles: Individualism and Collectivism. -Ayn Rand ("Textbook of Americanism," pamphlet, 1946)

On this day—September 25, 2017 The UN Human Rights Council finished calling Israel apartheid. Then it handed the microphone to a man who grew up in Hamas. Mosab Hassan Yousef took the floor. His father helped found the terror group. He did not address Israel. He addressed the Palestinian Authority. Where does your legitimacy come from? The people did not elect you. You kidnap students from campus and torture them. You torture your rivals. You are the greatest enemy of the Palestinian people. If Israel did not exist you would have no one to blame. The Palestinian Authority delegates had come for another hour of Israel-bashing. The looks on their faces as they had to sit through a man from Ramallah telling them they were the problem are priceless.

“Becoming rich in the private sector comes from serving others, while in the government it is the result of serving oneself at others’ expense.” — Javier Milei

If people are having issues with "affordability," they should understand why. This should do it. 👁️👁️

A barrel of oil in the Stone Age was worthless. A barrel of oil in an industrial civilization can heat homes, move trucks, and power factories. Nature gives us atoms, but it is humans who give those atoms value. humanprogress.org/the-most-i…

They accuse Israel – little Israel – of colonialism. And who is doing the accusing? Among others, people in Britain and France. For goodness sake, they are the ones who invented this concept – their colonies stretched across the entire world. Colonialism? Please, give us a break!

To believe things are getting worse when they have, in fact, never been better is a classic misdiagnosis. And like a medical misdiagnosis, it risks ill-advised treatment: public demand for government action gives populist leaders every incentive to oblige. Yet such policies often have the opposite effect—exacerbating the problems they’re intended to address.

Leftist: But without government, who will look after the poor? Me: Before the welfare state existed, working-class men cared for the poor without the need for your tax dollars. Friendly societies and fraternal lodges, groups like the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Ancient Order of Foresters, covered millions of Americans and Britons by 1900. They paid sick benefits, death benefits, and contracted physicians called lodge doctors, who charged members roughly $1 to $2 annually for full medical care. Competition kept those doctors honest. Members fired physicians who underperformed. The state destroyed this ecosystem, specifically through the 1911 National Insurance Act in Britain and its American successors. The British Medical Association lobbied hard to eliminate lodge practice because those contracted rates embarrassed the profession. Government handed doctors a captive market instead. By 1920, lodge medicine was gutted. You lost the ability to fire your provider, lost transparent pricing, and inherited a bureaucracy that answered to politicians, not to you. Mutual aid societies solved the knowledge problem that central planners cannot solve. Members lived near each other, worked the same trades, and could detect fraud immediately. A sick neighbor either was sick or wasn't. No bureaucrat 400 miles away can make that call. David Beito documented all of this in his 2000 book "From Mutual Aid to the Welfare State." Voluntary association produced accountable, affordable welfare. Government produced dependency and cartelized medicine. The substitution caused a theft of function. Any government wants its people dependent on it, not on some social society.

No doubt a pre-investigation revealed that those responsible for Arday's hiring were obeying woke orthodoxies ... so they will not be investigated. History shows that members of 'The Party' are always protected. Dissenters get kicked to the curb.
