The application of reason to the creation of human values -- Ingenuity, innovation, creativity, the ability to produce freely based on them, and to keep the rewards of our creation -- this is what we must fight for!
I love my life and I love civilization. As a consequence I do not love my enemy, I do not turn the other cheek, I do not believe in feeding those who want to kill me, I will do whatever is necessary to defend myself and a civilized world.

Israel must destroy Hamas — everything about it. It’s political leaders, wherever they are hiding must be assassinated, their entire military infrastructure destroyed, it’s supporters, brought to their knees.
This should have been done years ago. we are living the consequences
The extent of the horror in Israel today has been significantly under-reported
The acts of brutality, rape, beheading, torture and murder are unspeakable and are being suppressed for now by media.
The number of casualties is much higher, I fear, than the 250 reported. And
So many Libertarians are showing themselves for what they really are — moral subjectivists; haters of the good; anti-liberty and anti-freedom. They are a disgrace.
Really happy and proud I’ve never been a Libertarian, and that I’m hated by these people.

The condition of the Arab population in Gaza is horrible. Who’s fault is that? Their own — they chose Hamas to lead them; they chose war with Israel; they chose theocracy.

What do you think the odds are that Tucker asks Putin a tough question?
Or, the odds that we learn anything new, that has not already been communicated by Russian propaganda?
And does anyone, except Tucker, think they are going to hear the truth from Putin.
This is a charade.
Really disgusting. You can support Hamas murder & rape with no conseqences, but call them murdereers who should suffer the justice their actions require, you are penalized.
Stop funding the universities...
A USC professor told protesters, "Hamas are murderers. That’s all they are. Every one should be killed, and I hope they all are killed." He was then suspended and barred from campus.

"anti-war" as the Libertarians and far-left use it means -- moral relativism, compassion for evil, and a commitment to supporting evil rather than the good.
It's only outcome -- more murder and more war.
Appeasing evil has inevitable results. But LP Libertarians would rather

The spiritual and financial leader of this movement has been Iran (but
In a truly capitalist society, here is how the market responds:
1. Health insurance companies monitor for health risks (they have economic interest to do so).
2. Warn early -- implement plans with hospitals, that have been developed well in advance.

The problem in America is that most people have a simplistic view of the situation that is completely removed from reality. They assume normal relations and

If raising the min wage has no negative impact, let's make everyone rich, cure poverty, all at once. Time to be more ambitious... Min wage at $1,000/hr. Yes!!!
Yes, the minimum wage should be raised to $25/hour.
No, it won’t make the price of your Big Mac go up.
Studies show this. Other countries that pay higher wages show this.

Antifa is nothing but a fascist movement dedicated to silencing all who oppose their reactionary agenda. They are dedicated to destroying private property and the institutions of freedom and replacing them with authoritarianism. They are nothing but thugs and brutes...

You are on Twitter's private property. Don't like their rules - leave.
Their is no "freedom of speech" on someone else's property. You don't have a right to use someones property to express you ideas. It's theirs, not yours. Build your own, if you don't like it.
Notice: a credible accusation of sexual harassment in the private sector, leads to almost immediate consequences - firing and shaming. In politics, it has almost no outcome - life continues as normal, and at our expense.
You cannot negotiate with people dedicated to your (individual and national) destruction. These are people that view their own people as sacrificial lambs. They care nothing for human life. They are religious fanatics.
Hamas and it's support must be destroyed.

The problem of obesity in American today is not a problem of Capitalism or "evil" businesses. It is a much deeper cultural problem. Here are some of the causes:

It is false that consumption drives an economy.
To consume, one must first produce (have something of value to trade). And there must be something to consume (produced by someone).
What drives an economy is production. Consumption follows and takes care of itself.
Money creation unlinked to production and trade is a fraud.
The idea of creating $6 trillion out of thin air, to spur demand, is a fraud. And it will create horrific consequences, many of which will be unseen. Tragic...

So what? The pill causes health problems for many women. "Recreational sex" is a large part of the reason we have so many single-mother households, which drives poverty, crime, and dysfunction. The point of sex is to create children—this is natural, normal, and good.
The most damaging enemies of Capitalism are not on the left. They are the fair weather capitalists, who pretend to defend it, but don't really believe in it. And, at the first challenge, or crisis, abandon it and claim it's utopian ideal.

It is time for those of us who are not racists, to call BLM and the people who support them, for what they really are. We must stop cowering in fear of being called racists.

Once again, the images from Gaza are awful and heartbreaking and entirely the fault of Hamas. The minute Hamas gives up the hostages and surrenders, this is all over. Everyone knows it. And everyone calling for a ceasefire is doing Hamas' dirty work.
Even Milei cannot escape the dominant, prevalent collectivism and altruism. While he defends businessmen as heros (which is great), his ultimate explanation is that they are the greatest “social benefactors.”
