I can’t download the video RN but a part of the national stage for Freedom 250 has collapsed during rehearsal

So for those keeping track
>Congress sets aside funding for America 250
>Trump siphons more than 2/3rds of said money for his “Freedom 250” op
>Comedy ensues

the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Alabama is prosecuting the Southern Poverty Law Center for alleged bank fraud, wire fraud and money laundering in a case in which prosecutors allege SPLC executives paid an informant who helped coordinate transportation, logistics and communications for the 2017 "Unite the Right" protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, that led to the death of a young woman, Heather Heyer.

It's all true, isn't it? It's feds and false flags all the way down.

That is not, repeat NOT, the "stage collapsing." That's the work of an incompetent gaffer/stagehand. This disingenuous hyperbole is probably a mask for a DEI hire fucking up.

There are a lot of solutions that don't involve "communism" (and rent freezes)

Prevent businesses from buying up large amounts of property
Enact a tax restriction on owning more than 3 properties (reduces boomer hoarding of properties)
Put restrictions on giving out loans to people who are buying properties solely to rent out rather than live in
Increase opportunities to get wealth
Mass deport foreigners to lower demand (and increase wages)
Get rid of government funded apartments
Increase job opportunities
Give reduced interest loans to families who have kids (I believe Germany did to increase citizen birth rates)
Fine landlords who rent out to illegals knowingly or not
Crackdown on foreigners living 10 people to an apartment
Bring back manufacturing to America (increase jobs/wealth of citizens)
Stop preferential loans being given
Cut welfare to foreigners and blacks (drives up prices and rent)

Theres so much shit you can do that doesn't involve electing a communist Muslim to rent control apartments or enacting communism.

I've been sperging about this for a while now. I would also add that no foreigners should be allowed to own property, whether they are an individual or business. Hell, throw people with dual citizenship on there too.

I'll believe it when i see it. Every time so far that they have started in this direction, they have unwound it in less than 10 days.

Mustn't do anything that might inconvenience the boomer developers and risk the line going down.

The Supreme Court declined to stay a lower court order requiring a former Fox (now CBS) Journalist to pay $800 per day for noncompliance with an order requiring her to reveal her confidential source on a story.

disgusting shit there. Herridge is a decent journalist and i can't see how they are fining her like this.

It looked like it might be a panel for the golden arch going across the stage, it was pretty thin.

>Smartphone disruptions too frequent?
>Lock them in thick canvas bags when the children arrive to school. So they have it but cannot use it

It's the fucking parents that wont let this happen. Poll after poll shows a majority of parents want their kids to have a cell phone, in high school, so they can contact them.

We have a whole generation of parents who have seperation anxiety from their kids.

Here in California, surprisingly, it's the state and local governments pushing the ban on cell phones. First you have it mandated by state law, this year, and even my local school district (headed by a liberal) voted to extend that ban from bell to bell. Not even at lunch.

It was the parents who complained at meetings and didnt support it in polls.

It does matter. The left not caring is the reason why we're in this mess. Either we fix what is broken or die as a civilization. Fuck you.

Muh principles isn't how you win against those that weaponize your principles against you. It's mutual respect. Why should you respect them if they don't respect you.
Get rid of them. Then you can have your Constitution. Enforce the law but there isn't anybody that wants to deal with that ever increasing pressure bomb ready to go off.

The anti-2A stuff should've been cracked down on a century ago. The sanctuary city/state shit should've been cracked down on decades ago. It's just getting worse if nothing gets done.

They bring up "muh Constitutional rights" because they know it makes you fuck off. It's like how brown people start calling everybody racist when confronted about their crimes. Magical power words that makes you fuck off and twist yourself into a pretzel to prove how not racist you are.

China’s property market has collapsed to its lowest price in over 20 years.

This, coupled with the population about to fall off a cliff and an increasingly stagnant economy, reminds me a lot of Japan’s Lost Decade. They’re gonna have to move on Taiwan soon.

I can't believe in 2026 people still think this matters. Biggest reason the right has lost for the last 70 years prior to Trump. The constitution is a piece of paper. The left does not believe what is written on it matters and that it is subject to change. The constitution says "shall not be infringed". Go try and buy a standard M4 Carbine now. Somehow "shall not be infringed" hasn't stopped people infringing on your right to bear arms. Imagine that.

This is because we stopped being a constitutional republic based primarily on civic virtue + farmers in 1865 when (after almost a century of fighting between the two factions) technological singularity won the battle (industry) and dispelled this notion. Civic virtue + farmers then got transformed into entrepreneurs + capital. This change was completed with FDR as the "lolbertarian-farming base" got replaced by socialist immigrants from Europe and the Irish over a period of 60 years.

The Left by enlarge does still care about the constitution because it sustains a way of life and if they were to be held to it, a majority of them would stick with the constitution because it's through the constitution that they are enabled gibs. The main issue with the constitution is that there is no federal, state, or party apparatus that can actually use the constitution to its benefit, like in the days of FDR, except for a faceless administrative bureaucracy. This faceless bureaucracy *does* have its roots in FDR and later on JFK/LBJ, but it was purely a redistribution scheme, and the issue we are now seeing is that we are running out of things to distribute and we have large quantities of peoples that were not accounted for (because they were extremely negligible at that point) like Indians and Somalians. It is people like these, incompetent dependents, who get promoted up in the bureaucracy to the point where they can't actually effectively govern *with* the apparatus, but are merely a product *of* it.

How does someone get the same power as FDR? No one knows, because there is no possible mass party machines anymore, there is no civic virtue, there is no citoyen. There are only taxcattle, who will be woken up by trimming the fat.

You can see what looks like some sort of electrical box on the top middle.

What's the story on this again? This smells like a situation where it's pure politics.

Isn’t there a boatload of precedent for this anyway? Journalists aren’t a special class permitted to withhold evidence and defy court orders.

Either an electrical box or some kind of articulating mounting hardware, I tried finding updated pictures or info on X but god damn is it just a bunch of useless fucking smugposting. It's the same color as the arch across the stage at the very least. Surprised there aren't any pictures of the thing yet.

China can’t take Taiwan but Xi can’t say the truth here as he would lose face.

In combo w/ the prior comments a few pages back about private business taking over, I believe that the tech singularity people today will be sorely disappointed. The truth is that either

A. we subsidize the lives of totally-useless people born before X-year before it's phased out completely or,
B. lots of people die/starve/etc.

The only tech singularity that would make a huge difference in our way of life is gene editing (neo-eugenics, based). Everything else (AI) is just attempts at buying time for the redistribution scheme, especially because they cannot create a data storage center for every useless couch potato who gets one-shot by the internet and talks to AI 24/7.
