🚨PART 1: Life under communism/socialism rule.
Growing up during the communist era in Poland.
I saw the Polish People's Republic being shaped and changed daily to a different more limited life. It affected social behavior, and the psychology of millions of Polish people.
Poland and across the Eastern Bloc was a daily grind of scarcity, surveillance, and lost agency that turned ordinary existence into a series of humiliating calculations. Central planning eliminated price signals, so factories and farms could only produced what communistic bureaucrats ordered rather than what people needed. The result was a permanent shortage of food, other daily essentials, labor and extremely bad economy.
Stores were routinely stripped bare. Iconic memories from the 1970s–80s include entire shops stocked with nothing but vinegar and tea. I know that many of you today can even imagine how it felt being in that situation.
Basic goods—meat, butter, flour, sugar, toilet paper, soap, shoes, even matches—were either absent or available only sporadically via “rzuty” (sudden deliveries that triggered stampedes). By the early 1980s, ration cards (kartki) covered meat, butter, flour, rice, chocolate, alcohol, cigarettes, and petrol. An average adult might be allotted roughly 2.5–4 kg of meat and meat products per month (miners got more, office workers less), but even that was theoretical: high-quality cuts were severely limited (often only ~400 g), lower-grade meat, offal, and processed items made up the rest, and shops frequently ran out anyway. People spent hours or days in queues; some estimates put average daily queue time at around three hours. Informal “queue committees” kept lists, and retirees or children could be hired as stand-ins.
Money itself became nearly useless when there was nothing to buy.
Housing was another long wait—often years or a decade-plus for a small apartment in a prefabricated block, frequently shared with many family members or completely overcrowded.
Getting a private landline 📞 phone could take up to ~
20 years.
Cars, appliances, and decent clothing required connections (“dojścia”), bribes, or the black market.
Special hard-currency stores like Pewex existed for the elite and those who may have dollars; everyone else made with poor-quality substitutes.
Freedom was tightly constrained and limited to almost none. Travel aboard required rare passports and exit permissions.
Travel from city to city required special permission from authorities.
Media, books, and education were censored. The secret police (SB) and a network of informers created a climate of caution—neighbors reported neighbors.
By the end of 1978 my father was killed by them. He was only 38 years old. He didn’t wanted to become a communist so he was killed on the sidewalk walking home. I was 9. Three years later in the middle of the night my mother left me and my younger brother behind in this big city. She escaped to America.
Every day I continue to live by myself and making sure that my brother and I are safe. We went to school every day and pretend that our mom is at home. I learn how to cook from whatever I could get at the vegetable market, because stores were always empty by the time I got home from school.
One day in the morning I woke up to the news that Poland was under martial law (December 1981–1983), and everything intensified: curfews (often 10 p.m.–6 a.m.) no one was allowed outside their apartments or house, sealed borders and no travel outside the country. Internment of thousands of Freedom Solidarity activists, militarized workplaces, restricted intercity travel, and suspended civil liberties.
Official propaganda still claimed record harvests and full employment while shelves stayed empty and people pretended to work at idle factories. State television and newspapers offered heavily filtered propaganda. Phones were frequently tapped, public gatherings were restricted, and….

HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible],
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent], and
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though. Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so — but it’s worth a try.

🔥Jonathan (@krispykriskring), you nailed the real story that all politicians: democrats and republicans refuse to say out loud.
Everyone, please read and share this…
—>You were told Social Security was your money — a forced savings account for your later years.
What it actually became is a giant pay-as-you-go transfer system. Today’s workers fund today’s retirees, the “trust fund” is mostly IOUs from the Treasury, and the Supreme Court (in Flemming v. Nestor) already ruled you have no property right to the benefits.
Then, starting in the 1980s and expanded later, the government started taxing up to 85% of the money you already paid taxes on once.
The card that once said “Not for Identification” is gone. The simple original design is gone. The surplus was spent.
And both parties have kicked the can while the math gets worse and American suffers.
Share this with your parents, your kids, and anyone who still thinks “I paid in, so I own it.” The numbers don’t care about your politics. They only care about reality. Ask your candidate to explain his position on this issue.

🇺🇸 AMERICA, WAKE UP.
YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC IS UNDER DIRECT ASSAULT.
Socialists, globalists, and radical islamists are not your friends!!They sell you dependency, open borders, and imported ideology while they dismantle the very system that made this country the freest and most prosperous on Earth.
The “Narrative Machine” is running full speed: capitalism is evil, socialism is progress, men can become women, borders don’t matter, and questioning election integrity is forbidden. None of that is true. It is control.
Demand fair, transparent, auditable elections.
Accountability for election fraud. Same-day counting. Independent audits that actually mean something and they actually INVESTIGATE the election results!
In AZ Michele Swinick independently investigated the 2020-2024 elections in Maricopa County. She found MASSIVE EVIDENCE of elections violations. Will anyone from the Republican Party call her?
A republic dies when the people no longer trust that their vote counts.
Stop accepting “trust the process” from the same people who changed the rules, expanded mail-in, and attacked anyone who asked basic questions.
Stand up. Speak out. Organize. Vote like the future of the Constitution depends on it—because it does and DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY for election Integrity.
The Founders gave you the tools. Use them before the machine finishes the job.
This is not left vs. right. This is free citizens vs. those who want to rule you. Choose.

He landed his helicopter between American soldiers and the villagers they were about to kill. Then he told his own crew: if they open fire, shoot them.
March 16, 1968. My Lai, South Vietnam. Hugh Thompson Jr., a 24-year-old Army warrant officer from Georgia, was flying a small scout helicopter over the village with two young crewmen, Glenn Andreotta and Lawrence Colburn.
They were supposed to spot enemy fire. There was none. What they saw instead were unarmed civilians, women, children and old men, being killed by American troops.
Thompson saw soldiers moving toward a bunker where villagers were hiding. He set the helicopter down in the line of fire, climbed out and confronted the officer in charge.
Andreotta and Colburn stood by the helicopter with their guns ready, aimed at their own side.
Thompson coaxed about ten villagers out of the bunker and called in gunships to fly them to safety. Then his crew spotted movement in a ditch. Andreotta climbed in and pulled out a small boy, alive. They flew him to a hospital.
Back at base, Thompson reported everything. An order went out to stop the killing.
He was not treated as a hero. For years he was shunned and threatened, and some in Washington said he was the one who should be punished. Andreotta was killed in combat three weeks later.
Thirty years after that day, in 1998, the Army finally awarded all three men the Soldier's Medal at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
The general who led the Army's investigation wrote, "If there was a hero of My Lai, he, Thompson, was it."
Courage isn't only facing the enemy. Sometimes it's standing up to your own side.
Disclaimer: Based on Army records, the 1998 Soldier's Medal citation and news reports. The citation credits the crew with saving at least ten civilians. Andreotta's medal was awarded after his death.

201 years ago today, a cannon fired in Buffalo, New York. A few miles down the line, another cannon heard it and fired. Then another, and another, all the way across the state and down the Hudson. About an hour and a half later, the boom reached New York City, more than 500 miles away.
The Erie Canal was open.
Almost nobody thought it could be done. Thomas Jefferson called the idea "little short of madness." Critics mocked it as "Clinton's Ditch," after Governor DeWitt Clinton, who bet his career on it.
The problem was enormous. The land rises about 600 feet between the Hudson River and Lake Erie. And America had no trained civil engineers. The men who laid out the route were judges. One had used a surveying instrument for only a few hours before the job began.
So they learned as they dug. Irish laborers and German stonemasons cut through forest, swamp and solid rock with shovels, horses and muscle. At Lockport they carved a staircase of locks straight up the Niagara Escarpment.
Eight years later, it stretched 363 miles from Albany to Buffalo.
Clinton boarded a boat called the Seneca Chief and rode the whole way to New York. Ten days later, in New York Harbor, he poured a keg of Lake Erie water into the sea. They called it the Wedding of the Waters. A keg of ocean water went back the other way and was poured into the lake.
Before the canal, Buffalo to New York took two weeks by stagecoach. Now goods could float the whole way. Tolls paid off the construction debt within the first year, and New York became the busiest port in the country.
The "ditch" built a nation's front door.
Would you have bet on Clinton's Ditch?

She was the first Black person ever to win an Oscar. Then her Oscar vanished, and nobody has found it since.
Hattie McDaniel came to Los Angeles with a big voice and a gift for comedy. To get by, she worked as a maid.
In 1939 she was cast as Mammy in Gone with the Wind.
She wasn't allowed at its Atlanta premiere. The theater was whites-only. Clark Gable threatened to boycott, and McDaniel talked him into going anyway.
On February 29, 1940, she went to the Academy Awards at the Ambassador Hotel's Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles, nominated for Best Supporting Actress. The hotel had a strict no-Black policy. She was let in as a favor and seated at a small segregated table against the far wall, away from her co-stars.
Then they read her name.
She walked to the stage with gardenias in her hair and said she hoped to always be a credit to her race. She was in tears.
When critics attacked her for playing maids, she answered: "Why should I complain about making $700 a week playing a maid? If I didn't, I'd be making $7 a week being one."
She died of breast cancer on October 26, 1952. Her last wish was to be buried in Hollywood Cemetery. It refused. It was segregated.
She left her award to Howard University, where it sat in a glass case.
Then, sometime in the late 1960s or early 1970s, it was gone.
No record of what happened to it. A rumor said protesters threw it into the Potomac. A law professor who investigated called that baseless. It has never turned up.
In 2023, the Academy gave Howard a replacement, 83 years after she won.
They kept her out of the premiere and out of the cemetery. They couldn't keep her out of history.
Disclaimer: Supporting winners then got a plaque, not a statuette. Accounts vary on her exact words and when the award disappeared.

I don’t know if the Wright Brothers had this in mind when they were dreaming of their flying machine, but there is no doubt that man has a vivid imagination when it comes to getting off the ground. These entries are from the Red Bull Flugtag held in Minneapolis this year.
It’s amazing to think about going from simple machines like these to Elon’s rocket boosters returning to Earth in 120 years time. Where will we be in the next 100 years? ✈️ 🚀 🌎
