  • Marx Still Reigns Supreme. But Why?

    utopian fantasies for emotionalists:

    Marx's ideas on class struggle and the overthrow of the bourgeoisie resonated with those who felt oppressed by the existing social and economic structures

    Marx's idealized vision of a classless, communist society where the means of production are collectively owned and controlled appeals to those who seek a more equitable and just social order. The promise of economic and social equality, as well as the elimination of private property and the profit motive, holds a certain romantic appeal for the disaffected youth seeking radical change

    His theory of historical materialism, which posited that the development of society is driven by the conflicts between social classes, offered a framework for understanding the dynamics of social change. This appealed to the youth's desire for a grand narrative and a sense of purpose in their pursuit of justice and equality.

    Marx's critique of capitalism and advocacy for socialism provided a seemingly simple solution to complex problems. His emphasis on the redistribution of wealth and the abolition of private property appealed to those who felt that wealth inequality was unjust and that capitalism perpetuated systemic injustices

  • ‘From the River to the Sea’ Belongs to Israel-The case for sovereignty

    04/30/2024 6:07:21 AM PDT · 8 of 14
    mjp to SJackson
    The article makes a strong case for Israel's historical, legal, and moral claim to the entire land from the river to the sea. This aligns with a pro-Israel, pro-Jewish perspective rooted in Judeo-Christian values and the belief in the Jewish people's right to their ancestral homeland.

    The article rightly highlights the disingenuous nature of the "two-state solution" and the Palestinians' rejectionist stance, which has prevented a peaceful resolution.

    The article's call for Israel to fully exercise its sovereignty and control over the land is consistent with a conservative, pro-security worldview that prioritizes protecting Israel's interests and ensuring its safety.

    The free market solution is to adopt a hands-off approach and let the market self-correct. This means:

    Reducing government spending and the budget deficit to ease inflationary pressures.

    Eliminating unnecessary regulations that stifle business activity and productivity growth.

    Allowing the Federal Reserve to prioritize price stability over other objectives and gradually tighten monetary policy to rein in inflation

  • Rep. Schiff reportedly robbed in San Francisco, forced to attend ritzy campaign dinner with no suit to wear

    Why did Adam Schiff attend the campaign dinner in shirt sleeves and a hiking vest? Because his car's fashion sense was stolen along with his bags!

    It seems like the thieves wanted to give him a "tailor-made" welcome to San Francisco. They must have thought he needed a wardrobe upgrade!

    I guess Schiff's car thieves were just trying to make a political statement, showing their support for casual campaign attire.

  • TIKTOK vows to fight 'unconstitutional' US ban

    The US government's power to force a company to sell an app is derived from several sections of the US Constitution:

    Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 - The Commerce Clause, which gives Congress the power to regulate interstate commerce. This could potentially allow the government to regulate a company's ability to operate an app that has interstate or international commerce implications.

    Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 - The Necessary and Proper Clause, which grants Congress the authority to enact laws that are necessary and proper to carry out its enumerated powers, such as regulating interstate commerce. This could provide a constitutional basis for the government to mandate the sale of an app.

    The Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause and Takings Clause - These clauses could limit the government's ability to force a company to sell an app without just compensation or due process of law. There have been court cases that have ruled on the government's ability to seize or compel the sale of private property.

    Historically, the Supreme Court has upheld the government's power to regulate and even require the sale of private property in certain circumstances, such as when it is necessary for national security or public welfare. However, the government must still provide due process and just compensation. The specific circumstances and legal justification would need to be examined in each case.
    The Supreme Court has issued several key rulings related to the government's power to regulate private property and compel the sale of assets:

    In Wickard v. Filburn (1942), the Supreme Court upheld Congress's authority under the Commerce Clause to regulate even a farmer's personal wheat production, as it could impact interstate wheat markets. This established a broad interpretation of the government's commerce power.

    In United States v. Carolene Products Co. (1938), the Court affirmed Congress's ability to prohibit the shipment of "filled milk" in interstate commerce, citing the Necessary and Proper Clause as a basis for the government's regulatory authority. This case further solidified the expansive reading of federal commerce power.

    On the other hand, in Penn Central Transportation Co. v. New York City (1978), the Court ruled that a city's landmark preservation law requiring Penn Central to maintain its terminal building was a regulatory taking that required just compensation under the Fifth Amendment. This case recognized limits on the government's power over private property.

    Additionally, in Kelo v. City of New London (2005), the Court upheld the city's use of eminent domain to condemn private homes for economic development, sparking controversy over the scope of the Takings Clause. This decision underscored the complex balance between government authority and private property rights.

    These landmark cases demonstrate the Supreme Court's efforts to delineate the boundaries of the federal government's constitutional powers to regulate and control private assets, while also protecting individual property rights.

  • EXPERTS AGREE: TURBO CANCERS ARE CAUSED BY THE TOXIC MRNA COVID-19 JABS

    Here are the pieces of information I extracted from the article

    -Turbo Cancer refers to aggressive cancers that are rising rapidly in vaccinated individuals like leukemia, colon cancer, breast cancer, etc. They often present at a late stage.
    -Experts believe ingredients in the mRNA COVID vaccines like N1-methyl-pseudouridine impair the body's natural immune surveillance system, reducing its ability to detect cancers.
    -Studies have found N1-methyl-pseudouridine can stimulate cancer growth and metastasis while unmodified mRNA vaccines had the opposite effect.
    -Data from the UK shows a sharp rise in cancers in under 45s that have already metastasized, suggesting rapid growth.
    -Repeated boosters are believed to further damage the immune system's ability to control cancers.
    -Over 25 studies have now documented the effects of Turbo Cancers but they continue to be ignored by health authorities.
    -Doctors warn further unnecessary boosters will only increase cancer risks but governments continue promoting them.
    -The true scale of vaccine-linked cancers is being suppressed and denied despite mounting evidence and expert warnings.
    -Whistleblowers are calling out the failure to properly investigate vaccine risks and the lack of informed consent about side effects.
    -Experts say governments should re-examine the mRNA vaccines and their links to cancer given the emerging scientific evidence.
