Yes because your I’ll that has ran things the last 20-30 years have destroyed our great civilization.

People are speaking and they are telling everyone they hate what the world has become.

It’s only going to get even more clear as the stigma of holding theee views is gone.

It’s not my fault that reasonable people in the middle are more concerned with not being called racist than leaving a better world for their children.

Two absurd explanations were offered last week for how Poland surpassed Switzerland to become one of the world’s 20 largest economies just 34 years after the collapse of the Soviet empire.

Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller credited Poland for its advancement “while maintaining one of the most restrictive migration polices in Europe.”

An Associated Press news article explained: “As oppressive as it was, communism contributed by breaking down old social barriers and opening higher education to factory and farmworkers who had no chance before.”

You don’t have to credit communism for “breaking down old social barriers.” The truth is the opposite: Poland excelled by firmly embracing free markets and welcoming newcomers.

Taking control of their own destiny, Poles embraced market liberalization, abandoned price controls and scaled back state power. Warsaw joined the European Union’s single market in 2004, further embracing free trade.

Despite Miller’s claims, Poland operated one of the more liberal immigration systems in Europe until recently. Many came from other European countries. That’s no surprise: as a country embraces freedom, it grows more prosperous, and more outsiders want to move in. This is the virtuous cycle of human flourishing.
 
You sharing the recommendation of a proponent of the Ukraine war in support of another war has to be self-parody.
Cool comeback - it’s all playing out how I described.

Prices are starting to normalize and Iranian leadership has been decimated. Middle East is unifying around a better future.

You’re still fuming we took out Maduro.
 
Coming from the “Q1 26 will be a golden age” guy, probably shouldn’t put a lot of stock in that timeline…
Real wages up and crime way down. Rents way down too. Exploding amounts of new builds around the country for manufacturing. Trucking volumes spiking to highs.

Start of the golden age for sure.
 
“Boots on the ground” is what we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. Nation building.

We are taking the oil away from the terorrists. Let me know when we become an occupation force fighting insurgents house to house and cave to cave.
