unfortunately, one of the most important effects the Internet has had on humanity is the redistribution of power and influence to stupid people.

People are asking me what Total Boomer Luxury Communism is. So:
Boomer: actual Boomers and the spiritually Boomer (ethos: “they did it to us so we get to do it to you”, anyone who objects is a “Communist”)
Luxury: Social Security benefits top out at over 100k per household this year, 60k per individual. Medicare advantage programs cover golf and skiing. Govt. shutdown over Obamacare subsidies, so Bill and Shelly can take more vacations in their early retirement.
Communism: the US government spends 2X the share of GDP on social as communist China.
And it’s total because each year Boomer entitlements take up am more and more of the economy, crowding out everything else.

"The metaphor of our age is no longer the flickering image, but the infinite scroll. And the scroll, unlike the TV show, never ends."
"Each platform brings with it a new grammar of cognition. X is still defined by the written word, but in a way that favors brevity and snark. TikTok rewards emotion and mimicry. Instagram curates identity through visual branding. YouTube teaches us to talk quickly and passionately, and AI interfaces like ChatGPT threaten to flatten language into plausible-sounding filler that imitates thought without demanding it."

Four decades on, Postman’s cultural diagnosis now feels not just accurate, but almost restrained. Where television reduced discourse to entertainment, social media reduces it to performance and dopamine loops.

Do not let identity leftists get control of your organization; they will destroy it from within. nytimes.com/2025/11/07/us/po…

Here's a longer-term chart. The simple story is correct. Capitalism created Poland's miracle, and socialism created Venezuela's catastrophe.

Massachusetts just forced phonics on schools because it works, and despite teacher's unions wanting to use less effective teaching methods!

"The evidence is now in. The explosive growth in sports gambling is bad for sports, and — most important — it has proved to be bad for the millions of Americans who gamble past the point of prudence and move directly to the point of pain. The sports gambling revolution needs more regulation. It may even need termination." nytimes.com/2025/10/26/opini…

Fun fact: it’s not just the young.
The elderly are also having their brains rotted by smart phones.

Next line they will cross is the summary execution of an American citizen based on allegedly conspiring with the cartels to import drugs (a crime which does not carry the death penalty)
Two people survived one of the recent boat strikes. They were not detained, not checked for drugs, not prosecuted. They were sent back to be tried in their own country. If the strike was based on the assumption that the boat was carrying drugs, and the survivors weren’t even investigated, do we suspect government simply didn’t have enough proof in the first place?
The Constitution requires Congress to authorize war. Until then treat this as law enforcement, not warfare.
Lesson to be learned: Adhering to due process prevents chaos and protects the Fourth Amendment. You don’t maintain order by abandoning the Constitution.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, and Charlie Kirk was willing to say it and he got killed for it."
