Pol Pot. This piece of shit killed an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians between 1975 and 1979, somewhere between 25 and 33 percent of the entire population. He did this by applying an ideology to its logical conclusion. Ideology always has a conclusion; socialism's conclusion is death. The Khmer Rouge abolished money in 1975. Completely. Banks closed. Markets dissolved. Currency became contraband. They then abolished private property, forcibly relocated urban populations to collective farms, and set central planners the task of organizing rice production for the entire nation. The result was predictable: mass starvation beside the rice fields. Planners cannot coordinate production without prices. Prices require private property and voluntary exchange. Pol Pot studied in Paris during the 1950s, absorbing French Communist Party doctrine and Maoist agrarianism. Western universities provided the intellectual scaffolding for the killing fields. Coercion requires enforcers, tribunals, and eventually mass graves; Cambodia's are at Choeung Ek. Every collectivist experiment reaches this same point, because central planners cannot solve what free exchange solves automatically every second of every day.

Today is my 45th Spiritual Birthday! On this day in 1981, after nearly two years of investigating Christianity, I abandoned my atheism, confessed and repented of my sin, and received Jesus Christ as my Forgiver and Leader. Coincidentally, today is the 50th Spiritual Birthday of @markmittelberg -- my partner in ministry since 1987. What an adventure we've been on!

The claim that more speech means less speech is an oxymoronic talking point of the anti-free speech movement. Macron is peddling the same worn-out narrative used by government for centuries to control the speech of their citizens. jonathanturley.org/2026/10/0…

🚨 U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro just laid out what REALLY happened with Fed Chair Jerome Powell. They sent Powell a letter THREE different times demanding answers about the $1 BILLION cost overruns on the Federal Reserve building renovation… And he just ignored it. A BILLION dollars. As Pirro put it: we’re not talking $1M… not $10M… not even $100M… We’re talking $1,000,000,000 in overruns. Then suddenly — out of nowhere — Powell posts a video the other night crying about “political persecution.” Yeah… that’s not how someone with nothing to hide behaves. They think they’re above the law. They’re about to find out. Do you firmly support Jeanine Pirro on this? A. Huge Yes B. No IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!! MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏

I understand that the social security conversation is political poison. But I’m not running for office so I don’t care about that. Taking huge chunks out of the paychecks of young working Americans in order to pay for the retirements of older Americans who have a net worth several times higher, all to prop up a system that everyone knows likely won’t be there when those younger people are retirement age themselves, is morally abhorrent and economically insane. Everyone knows it, too, but we’re held hostage by elderly politicians who refuse to surrender power, and older voters who, as a group (with exceptions, obviously), simply don’t care all that much about the financial and cultural future their grandchildren will inherit.

When Trump waived the Jones Act, more than 200 ships began moving fuel and fertilizer between U.S. ports, rapidly expanding domestic shipping. Competition and free trade work…protectionism does not. Repeal the Jones Act. nationalreview.com/2026/10/t…

🚨 THEY SAID THE FBI DIRECTOR WAS “MISSING IN ACTION.” Then Kash Patel dropped THIS on the Senate. Watch the media bury it. Predecessors took 33 days off a year. Kash: 4 days this year. They used Reagan National like a personal lily pad — $3.5 MILLION of YOUR money. He killed that. Andrews and government fields only. Taxpayers off the hook. Least personal travel of ANY FBI Director in history. Highest work days. Highest results. 📉 Murder rate down 20 points 💊 Enough fentanyl seized to kill a quarter million Americans — 20% fewer kids dying of overdoses 🎯 ALL 10 of the FBI’s Most Wanted captured 💰 Six of the world’s top fraudsters — $2 BILLION stolen from Americans 👶 11,000 child victims found and located 🚔 54,000 violent felons arrested by the FBI alone — 90% increase in 18 months That is making America safer than it’s ever been. Media won’t run this. You will. 🎥 Watch him say it. Then RT it. #MAGA #FBI #KashPatel #AmericaFirst #DrainTheSwamp

The sexual revolution has vastly increased the power of the state:

Just had a wonderful visit with my niece and her husband. They moved from Detroit to Franklin and later Columbia with their three children, who all married Tennesseans. Their marriage has lasted. They’re now young grandparents and empty nesters. The big guy smiling in the back is my son. I’m the auntie — my son and I are celebrating them. My niece is a stay-at-home wife. All of us are conservative Christians. Strong Black families, lasting marriage, faith, and biracial grandbabies who are simply family. What does a strong Black family actually look like where you live? #family #Christ #marriage #BlackFamily #Faith #StayAtHomeWife #Grandparents #ConservativeChristian #Tennessee #EmptyNesters

Yesterday, when the Treasury announced buybacks, and the bond market rallied…I got sick to my stomach. It’s rearranging the chairs on the decks of the Titanic. The real problem - Deficits (all over the world). Governments have lost their minds. No amount of financial engineering will fix this. The only thing that will fix it is to stop spending. If governments actually raise taxes to levels needed to fund their current drunken largesse, they will kill all growth and make problems even worse. The other problem with all this spending, is that we are borrowing from savers and giving it to consumers. We are eating our seed corn. In addition to all this, we are not hearing about the losses in pension funds, insurance companies, banks, and central banks in Europe or Japan or the US. They are huge. Pension funds bought debt at negative interest rates and now face huge losses. To repeat: The only way to fix this is to stop spending. Or, somehow miraculously to lift growth rates. But, governments are larger as a share of GDP and this has reduced growth rates. Keynesianism works in the reverse way people are taught in school. It’s crushes growth in the long-term even though it feels good in the short-term. The US’s $40 trillion in debt is a long-term problem…issuing 3-month T-bills doesn’t make it a short-term problem. Buying back long-term bonds doesn’t make it a short-term problem. Governments have to start facing reality and stop pursuing short-term, feel-good, nonsense solutions. Again: Cut the size of government…it’s the only real solution.

Thomas Sowell: “Over all that expanse of time and space, it is very unlikely that most slaves, or most slave owners, were either black or white. Slavery was common among the vast populations in Asia. Slavery was also common among the Polynesians, and the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere enslaved other indigenous peoples before anyone on this side of the Atlantic had ever seen a European. More whites were brought as slaves to North Africa than blacks brought as slaves to the United States.”
