The election of Dr. Javier Milei fills me with joy. May God give him the strength to overcome what will be arrayed against him. I just looked up the Wikipedia entry on Augusto Pinochet, the Chilean leader from 1973 to 1990, who brought prosperity to Chile through similar free-market policies. He instituted a retirement system which yielded incomes far better than our Social Security, promoted entrepeneurship, and many, many other things. Wikipedia, of course had almost nothing favorable to say about him, just lists of awful things he did, with a tiny sop to his economic policies. Look for the same ongoing treatment of Milei.

This should be a MUST READ. FTA: "Dr. Milei is basically an intellectual academic who became a truth warrior in response to the damage he saw being done to his country by a parasitic administrative state. In other words, he is yet another intellectual critic who is mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. In the "know a man by his enemies" approach, I already like the guy because all the evil people that I despise hate him. He MUST be a good person. Malone goes far beyond his explanations of why the mRNA vaccines, an idea of his invention and patent, have been horribly misused to harm those to trusted and took the shots. Excellent look at political reality of our world today, and the new guy in Argentina - very possibly a new rising star. I hope he can remain alive against the forces of evil arrayed against him....and us.

Meloni has been a bit of a disappointment. I did see a video of Melei yesterday where he was standing in front of a white board and all the government agencies were listed. He was ripping them off saying “GONE”! He appears to understand the dangers of a bloated government payroll.

My OP comment t y mistaken double posting of thie very important article. "This will be perhaps the only straight scoop,the real deal, that we will read on Argentina's new leader. And yes, Argentina - long before Peron - was indeed once world-class great. Pre- the "parasites"... Great read." Someone jgnorant of history scoffed the other day at a mention of "MAGA" in relation to Argentina, that it was never great. Their knowledge was very limited...or maybe that was just a driveby?

FTA - "A case study in how a prosperous modern economy can be strangled by an overbearing and corrupt administrative state bureaucracy. Sound familiar?" It should sound very familiar. Good for Italy and good for Argentina. Now may it also be good for Canada and the United States of America. Go Poilievre (Canada) and go Trump.

It may be only Wednesday, but that hasn’t stopped the U.S. military from racking up one of its worst weeks yet under President Joe Biden. In the span of two days, numerous stories have emerged reaffirming that the Biden Pentagon’s top priorities aren’t winning wars or taking care of personnel but injecting leftist politics into the service and funding endless overseas conflicts. From requesting U.S. taxpayer funding for neo-Marxist programs to shipping more aid to Ukraine, the revelations (sadly) represent a continuation of the military’s “reimagining” under Biden’s presidency.

As someone who was passionately and rationally (yes, you can do both) against every single Covid measure, and was pretty much from the very start, the only thing more amazing than how everyone went along with the insanity, is the way nobody really really cares about it at all just a couple of years later. In the UK, for example, we currently have an ongoing ‘Covid enquiry’ which features in little dribs and drabs, only now and then, in the mainstream news. Enquiries have of course often been the exact opposite of what they are claimed to be. People call for an enquiry not when they want to reveal

No, my bingo card did not have Generation Z embracing the wit and wisdom of Osama bin Laden, but it probably should have. Osama bin Laden‘s ravings about how Israel is bad and America is worse, or vice versa, have hit a chord among recently-born TikTok viewers. Osama’s Been Litup’s rants have it all – claims of nefarious Jewish influence, complaints about evil capitalists, and whining like a little girl about Americans and Israelis fighting back against sociopathic Jihadi scum**** who go on murder sprees. This nonsense is supposed to provide “context” for 9/11, and to have further applicability to the current elimination of Hamas.

Memo to Hamas: Settler Societies Aren't Evil 3 replies

In the nauseating demonstrations celebrating Hamas' slaughter of Israelis, one hears repeated, again and again, the refrain that Israelis are "settlers" and "colonists" -- and therefore, in the catechism inculcated in universities in recent decades, oppressors not deserving of mercy or sympathy when tortured and murdered by those who deemed themselves the oppressed. (Snip) Of course, people -- and peoples -- don't always fit neatly into these categories. Jews have been living in the lands "from the river to the sea," between the Jordan and the Mediterranean, since Biblical times, in varying numbers. Their claim to the supposedly morally superior status of the indigenous has as much strength as

As the Israel-Hamas war drags on in its second month and shows no sign of abating, many Westerners have drawn comparisons between the state of Israel and Jim Crow-era America or apartheid South Africa. In their telling, Israelis are the white people, Palestinians are the black people, and the ethics of the conflict mirror the ethics of Jim Crow and apartheid. Once framed this way, the correct view becomes obvious. Israelis: racist oppressors. Palestinians: noble victims. (Snip) But close-to-home analogies rarely explain distant events. Whereas Europeans had no claim to belong in the New World, Jews are indigenous to the land and have lived there continuously for millennia.

Our real lives have become Black Mirror episodes. (Snip) I’ve never seen anything like this in my life, and neither have you. In fewer than 48 hours, TikTok has convinced tens of thousands of Americans to take the side of the man most responsible for 9/11. Think about that. The Chinese Communists have created a weapon that compels Americans to cheer for 9/11, the same as people throughout the Arab world did at the time. They are endorsing it because in the epistle, the leader of al Qaeda condemns the Jews and tells Americans he committed terror against them in part because of America’s support of Israel.

Federal public health agencies are reportedly withholding the most accurate and up-to-date reports of vaccine injury from the public, allegedly to protect privacy. Patients don't necessarily see it that way, and it's not clear the feds told Congress. The Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, jointly managed by the CDC and FDA, has a secret "back end" privy only to regulators, an FDA official told advocates of VAERS reform nearly a year ago, according to a British Medical Journal investigation published Friday.

In recent days I have been seeing a lot of old images. I have been looking at pictures of London as it was, and Britain as it was. It is just a tiny fraction over a century since the Cenotaph, which honours Britain’s war dead, was completed and unveiled. It is a starkly simple monument, with an elegance characteristic of its era, and fitting to its purpose. A century, in the life of old nations, should be a little thing. And yet the world, and this nation, could hardly have been altered more radically if we had lost both the great world wars of the 20th century.

Open Borders Lobby: Americans Should ‘Open

On Wednesday, Michael Hayden responded to a post on X that juxtaposed two photos: one of a woman holding an American flag, Bible, and handgun; the other of Palestinian terrorist Reem Riyashi, who killed herself along with four Israelis in a 2004 suicide bombing that was claimed by Hamas and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade. “No different at all,” Hayden chimed in.

City Hall is pushing back against a sexual assault claim against Mayor Eric Adams, insisting he does not even know his accuser. The unidentified female accuser filed a summons in civil court late last night, accusing Adams of sexually assaulting her in 1993 when they were both working for the city. It was first reported by The Messenger. At the time, Adams was 33 and working as a captain within the NYPD. Details of the allegations have not yet been made public but a City Hall spokesperson told The New York Post today Adams doesn't know the woman. 'If they ever met, he doesn't recall it,' they said.

Low-income New Yorkers living in public housing say newly arrived migrants have been first in line for free turkeys ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, as public resources are strained from illegal immigration. According to local reports and interviews, New Yorkers living in public housing are competing against tens of thousands of newly arrived migrants to New York City when it comes to meals this Thanksgiving. “Why do we have to take the butt of everything,” New Yorker Georgia Butler told FOX5 New York in an interview. “This community is already suffering.”

A train derailed and spilled chemicals in a remote part of eastern Kentucky on Wednesday, prompting officials to encourage residents of a small town to evacuate. Gov. Andy Beshear said in a statement that local officials in Rockcastle County were encouraging residents of Livingston, with a population of about 200, to evacuate. In a news release, railroad operator CSX said that the derailment occurred a little before 2:30 p.m. local time north of Livingston and involved at least 16 cars. Two cars containing sulfur were "breached" and some of the sulfur caught fire, CSX said, indicting that sulfur dioxide gas was being released into the air.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. By now, you’ve almost certainly been to the grocery store. Your turkey is probably basting in the fridge and your pumpkin pie might be daring you to cut an early slice — you might have even prepped a few sides ahead of time. But one thing is certain: your heart rate spiked as the cashier scanned each additional Thanksgiving staple at checkout. While you know you paid more than last year, the corporate media is determined to make you believe otherwise. “Thanksgiving will be less expensive this year,” CNN audaciously claimed.

Either having open borders is a good public policy or it isn’t. At least in my simpleminded view people whose job it is to set policy should do so based on what is good for the country. That’s not how Aaron Blake of the Washington Post sees things, at least from his point of view as a political analyst. For him, it is all about the polling. Democrats could get away with open borders while the Democrat base was OK with it. But now that Democrats don’t care for it, it may be time to change policies. At least he is open about it; Democrats can harm the country all they want until

Two lower level officers in IDF’s elite intelligence Unit 8200 outlined a mass invasion one month before onslaught; top officers also waved off manual showing plans for onslaught [...] The manual also described a strategy to lull Israel into complacency by holding negotiations for some form of long-term arrangement with Hamas, while at the same time staging frequent drills and carrying out small security incidents on the border on Saturdays and Jewish holidays to lull the IDF into a false sense of security when Hamas forces turned up en masse at the border fence.
