Share this! Indian Captain Smit Machchhar is a hero, not a coworker in a “mid-air altercation.” He told Modi he was on the floor, still being beaten, and went for one last push to open the door. After 9/11, that door was built to lock killers out. This time the jihadist was already in the seat. A Hindu from India, stabbed in the cockpit on the way to Tel Aviv, he saved 174 people because he didn’t surrender to jihad. He should sue the BBC and every outlet that demonized him for fighting jihad!

“Black kids don’t benefit from the inclusion of white kids.” I completely disagree. My Black students can learn from white students. My white students can learn from Black students. Neither group is here to “fix” the other. They’re here to learn, grow, build relationships, and become better young men together. These boys are going to inherit a world filled with people who don’t look like them. I’d rather teach them how to understand, respect, and work alongside each other now. I’m not preparing them for a Black world or a white world. I’m preparing them for the world they actually have to live in.

This whole heritage American stuff reminds me of the black power stuff that blacks went through. How black are you? Keep it real. Stay black. Don’t act white. Look how far that got blacks. Now we got whites trying to prop up whiteness as some kind of strength. No one cares. This is nothing more than racial gamesmanship. All blacks did was ghetto themselves. Bo French and others like him are already building their ghetto. All that matters is whether you are an American right now and believe in the greatness of this country. My ancestor fought in the American Revolution and it’s an incredible story but what makes me an American is what I believe in and do today.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra tells me that Canada will NEVER have as good of a deal as Mark Carney was first presented with. “Anyone who walks away from a deal with the President… when they come back, it’s never as good of a deal as they had before.” Watch the full interview — link in comments.

An Arab Christian from Israel delivers a powerful warning to the West: Stop appeasing your growing Muslim population by supporting the terrorists who are attacking Israel right now. These jihadists do not want peace with Israel — they want world domination. If they succeed in destroying the Jewish state, they will not stop. They will simply turn their sights on the West next. They will never stop killing “infidels.” Please share this if you stand with Israel. The truth from someone who actually knows the reality on the ground. The West must wake up before it’s too late.

VP @JDVance: "Even if you don't agree with us on every issue, the other party is consumed by craziness."

There is something profoundly dishonest about people who crucify fossil fuels and vilify the coal, oil, and gas industries while enthusiastically enjoying every benefit that they make possible. Climate panic merchants will condemn oil while they drive or Uber around in gas-powered cars. They'll talk about the urgency of reducing our “carbon footprints” while they board airplanes (and in some cases, private jets) and putz around to tropical destinations. They'll demonize oil and gas, but live a materialistic modern lifestyle ordering products off of Amazon that have to be shipped to their doorstep by 18-wheelers and box trucks, and sometimes from overseas by means of air or cargo ship. This eco-maniacs expect store shelves to remain stocked with goods or groceries for their personal convenience while forgetting what it takes to achieve all of that. Climate alarmists denigrate natural gas while heating their homes or apartments, cooking their food, and in many cases, supplying electricity. Heck, fossil fuels are what keep their electronics charged and provide a WiFi connection so they can whine online about how evil fossil fuel companies and capitalism are. They will malign the oil and gas industry, yet reap the benefits of smartphones, computers, medical equipment and medicines, roads, household appliances, plastics, lubricants, and synthetic clothing that are all derived from or manufactured using fossil fuels. Our extraordinary mobility, food abundance, medical care, sanitation, communications, industrial capacity, and protection from extreme weather were built with affordable, reliable energy. Fossil fuels have provided those and have lifted billions of people out of poverty and freed humanity from a world in which dying from cold weather exposure, disease, and backbreaking manual labor were everyday realities. Fossil fuels took a naturally dangerous environment and have made it far safer for us to live in, not the other way around as you have been misled to believe by the likes of Al Gore, Greta Thunberg, and United Nations. It is true that burning them releases carbon dioxide (it's a natural byproduct of combustion). And it is also true that adding more of it to the atmosphere does induce a slight warming tendency in the Earth's lower atmosphere, all else being equal. But that does not necessarily mean that warming poses an “existential threat” to life on Earth. In fact, there could even be some benefits (e.g., longer growing seasons; less icy travel delays; and fewer cold-related deaths, which outnumber heat-related in most regions). However, there are always pros and cons to any sort of climate change that occurs (natural, man-made, or both). Cooling, for instance, would shorten growing seasons in most of the mid-latitudes and increase the risk of early- and late-season frosts that kill crops. You are not guaranteed, much less entitled to no risk. Some regions probably will not see positive outcomes from global warming. But risk is a given. That is why you must adapt and mitigate accordingly. But risk is not a good enough justification to demand we decarbonize the global economy by eliminating oil, natural gas, and coal from the energy mix. That all being said, I am indifferent to using fossil fuels as an energy source. If energy technologies advance to where our modern and highly industrialized economies can be powered with so-called “carbon-free” alternatives, then by all means, great. But the federal government should not be favoring one sector over another. The free market should decide. For instance, I would consider buying a Tesla (the technology is cool just from an engineering standpoint) even though I am against EV mandates. But that would be my personal choice, not something forced upon me by politicians. In a perfect world, the free market would already be scaling up nuclear fission, but based on my personal experience, nuclear is vehemently opposed by many climate activists. Polling data supports this, as Pew Research Center data routinely show that Democrats oppose nuclear over Republicans and Independents by a significant margin. And virtually all climate panic puppies are Democrats or politically left-wing. You will be hard pressed to find a real conservative climate activist. In fact, I have never encountered one in all of the years I have spent talking about this topic. But there is a difference between being indifferent to fossil fuels and being open to alternatives all the while recognizing the importance of them, and then actively demonizing fossil fuels while benefitting from them. It is night and day. As far as I'm concerned, if you vilify fossil fuels, your ability to use them and enjoy their benefits should be forcibly revoked. Local authorities should cut off your electricity, shut off your gas lines, and confiscate your consumer electronics and WiFi router. If you want to outlaw fossil fuels and get to “net zero,” then I suggest you take personal steps to do it. Do not wait for Big Daddy government to step into frame and hold your hand like a guiding light. Be the change you want to see and lead by example. Give up all modern luxuries and show the rest of the world that you really care about “saving the planet.” Otherwise, just shut up about the environment.

Sixty-two years and $22 trillion later, the U.S. poverty rate sits at roughly 11 percent, almost identical to where Lyndon Johnson found it in 1964. The government ran the most expensive social experiment in human history and produced nothing measurable. Bureaucracies perpetuate themselves, and this policy worked exactly as designed. When Washington transfers purchasing power to the poor through SNAP, Medicaid, housing vouchers, and 126 other overlapping programs, it doesn't eliminate scarcity; it relocates decision-making from individuals to administrators. Those administrators develop career interests in perpetuating dependency, because a solved problem eliminates their department. Free market thinkers identified this perverse incentive structure before Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act. Every dollar taxed from productive activity carries a deadweight cost before it reaches anyone's dinner table. Capital formation lifts people out of poverty. You build wealth through savings, property rights, and voluntary exchange, none of which $22 trillion in redistributed spending actually produced.

When I retired from teaching four years ago, my principal was begging me to stay because we were already in the middle of a teacher shortage. That same year, at least 30 of us left teaching altogether. Thirty teachers gone. We were told there wasn’t enough money to give teachers a raise, but somehow there was enough money to hire more than 40 new people in central office—every one of those positions paying more than the teachers in the classroom. Make that make sense. Twice, at two different schools, I was encouraged to go back and get my master’s in educational leadership so I could become an assistant principal. I declined both times. My heart was never in climbing the administrative ladder. My heart was in the classroom with my students. That was where I belonged, and I knew it. The problem is not that good teachers don’t exist. The problem is that central offices have become bloated bureaucracies built around higher salaries, unnecessary positions and, far too often, the good ol’ boy system. They keep adding people at the top while taking more away from the teachers doing the actual work. Then they look around and ask why nobody wants to teach anymore. They know why. They just don’t want to admit it.

The levels of fraud are mind blowing 🤯

Chef @RobertIrvine is revolutionizing the military food program in this country—going base to base and switching out the old food regimen for fresh, real food. Here at Fort Drum, he’s giving our soldiers incredibly high-quality food while doing it at a 26% savings to the Pentagon. Soldiers are lining up to eat REAL food, and they’re getting healthier doing it. 🇺🇸

For me, the one that has frustrated me for years is you one on Milk & Cheese. I mean, these numbers are all bad. We take a shit ton from you, but when our upper Midwestern farmers want consideration to just compete, you slap on nearly 300%. I don't get it, and we pay for your defense on top of this.

17 years ago, we stood outside a dangerous motel and said this block deserved better. We shut it down. We tore it down. And today, a nearly $50 million center is rising on that same ground. Now we’re at the hardest part: finishing. We need to raise $10 million more to complete the center and help launch a school that will give children on Chicago’s South Side an opportunity to change the trajectory of their lives. We didn’t come this far to stop this close. I’m looking for 3 kinds of people: Those who will GIVE. Those who will INTRODUCE me to someone who can give. Those who will SHARE this story with America. Help us finish the vision. projecthood.org #ProjectHOOD #FinishTheVision #Chicago #America #OpportunityBlock

Meet the California State Assembly Chief of Staff… in Sacramento he printed and handed out, “Allegedly Nick Shirley has a small penis, prove me wrong” @TerrySchanz used tax-funded public resources to try to slander a journalist. A perfect example of California politics.
