THE GOP SHOULD LISTEN TO RANDO:

SOCIALISTS GOTTA SOCIALIZE: The Far-Left Wins Berlin’s Election on the Promise of Seizing Private Apartments.

The rising cost of housing in Berlin was a central issue in the campaign, which the Left proposes to fix with a mix of public housing construction, rent controls, and, most radically, expropriation of 220,000 housing units currently owned by large real estate companies.

Expropriation “serves the purpose of being able to regulate rents, which we can’t currently do with private owners,” Eralp told the Russian-German magazine Wir. “This takes these apartments out of speculation and out of the possibility of profiting from the housing shortage.”

Eralp has framed this plan as implementing the will of Berlin voters, 59 percent of whom approved an advisory referendum in 2021 calling for the seizure of a quarter of a million apartments owned by large landlords.

This being Germany, maybe someday they’ll get to take their socialism national.

SPOILER: HE IS THE MOST UNAWARE WHITE LIB IN HISTORY.

VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE, LIBERTY, AND PROPERTY DEPEND UPON IT:

Earlier: “Before you speak of rifles, use the piece of paper men once crossed oceans and battlefields to earn. If you curse the Republic as dead, make damn sure you showed up while it was still breathing.”

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, LOL: Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Filmed Hamas Beating Jewish Hostages and Covered It Up. “Everything coming out of Gaza is Hamas propaganda. The turning point in the Oct 7 war came when the media chose to uncritically publish all of it and politicians and much of the public chose to believe it. There is no such thing as ‘journalism’ in Gaza. All there is organized manipulation.”

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA WANTS YOU TO THINK THAT WHAT THEY DO IS GENUINELY DIFFICULT WORK, REQUIRING A RARE SKILLSET, BUT IT REALLY ISN’T:

THERE ARE NO WORDS:

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Hawaii Vampire Gun Restrictions Just Won’t Die. “Unfortunately, a Ninth Circuit en banc panel just reversed this lower court’s decision and has found that these ridiculous hurdles to firearm ownership are perfectly fine.”

SUICIDAL EMPATHY OR SUICIDAL INTENTIONAL IGNORANCE?

More:

The West: So, American imperialism then?
Terrorist: No, my religion.
The West: So the Zionist entity forced you to defend yourself?
Terrorist: FFS, it’s MY RELIGION.

Conclusion from the West: Terror attacks stem from a confluence of paleo-botanical-sociocultural-ethnopolitical forces that requires a nuanced analysis. What is absolutely clear though is that this has nothing to do with religion.

The Left’s ability to deny agency to anyone they think is inferior — in ostensible solidarity! — is a virtual trapeze act of cognitive dissonance. Yet they pull it off reflexively and seamlessly.

Truly a marvel to behold.

I WATCH ALL THIS STUFF ON X:

#METOO: CNN Has Had a Rough 24 Hours and I’m Here for It.

This display of solidarity and media muscle in their name had to warm the cold cockles of whatever passes for hearts at CNN headquarters.

Yeah, buddy -they’d show the orange man that he’d messed with the wrong gladiators.

The warm glow and phony ‘boycott’ lasted all of the twenty-four hours it took President Trump to storm into New York City and the UN General Assembly like a force of nature.

The first appalling crack appeared when the president spotted CNN’s rude Oval Office newshound Kaitlan Collins in the press scrum. He didn’t waste a moment and went in for the rhetorical kill.

Schadenfreudelicious.

SINCE YOU ASKED, YES:

REQUIRED READING:

“Before you speak of rifles, use the piece of paper men once crossed oceans and battlefields to earn. If you curse the Republic as dead, make damn sure you showed up while it was still breathing.”

THE EUROPEAN CENTER CONTINUES ITS COLLAPSE: Frau Merkel Has Destroyed Her Own Party.

Merz indeed seems unequal to the moment, but he’s not the one who has consigned his own party to the dust-bin of history. That dubious honor belongs to former Chancellor and CDU leader Angela Merkel.

An East German-born politician who came to lead Germany’s staunchly anti-communist, “mainstream” right party, Merkel, a protege of Chancellor Helmut Kohl, had a reputation as a colorless functionary, but in one of her first prominent roles, as Minister for the Environment and Nuclear Safety, she pushed for climate change legislation to limit greenhouse gases.

But her biggest mistake was throwing open German borders to accept huge numbers of unassimilated Muslim illegal aliens into the country.

Honestly, between reckless immigration and just-as-reckless over-dependence on Russian energy, you have to wonder if she wasn’t an SED plant all along.

DISPATCHES FROM AIRSTRIP ONE:

1984 wasn’t a guidebook, fellas.

IT’S A BAD IDEA, AND IT’S GOOD TO SEE THE ADMINISTRATION GET OUT IN FRONT OF THE RUMORS ABOUT IT: US Energy Secretary Wright says diesel export ban won’t work.

“The blunt tool of banning diesel exports definitely doesn’t work,” Wright said at an event hosted by the Economist in New York.

Average US diesel prices were $6.52 a gallon on Wednesday, up ​76% from a year ago, according to AAA, a motorist advocacy group.

“If you can’t export the diesel that comes out of our refineries, you run out ​of places to store it, and you have to reduce US refining, which would put upward pressure on gasoline prices and jet ⁠fuel prices,”

Wright said. The Trump administration is open to any ideas on lowering fuel prices and will make policy announcements in coming days, he said.

A crash program to build new refineries or reopen old ones would be nice.

HE GETS RESULTS — HE HAD TO BE DESTROYED:

Epic callback — thank you, Richard.
