I saw that meme again on X where Mamdani says Taxation is not theft. Capitalism is theft and I exploded on a 20 minute rant to my wife. Sorry, honey. I couldn't hold it in.

It's not that Mamdani, a communist, would make such a foolish, ass-backwards statement, after all he is a communist. What angers me is that so many people in NY and America actually agree with him! My goodness, folks. If this is the prevailing thought in America was a done, well done. Cooked to cinders.

Imagine thinking that hard work, ingenuity, and perseverance converted into money is theft. Imagine thinking that I have a product that you buy from me of your own free will is theft because it is such a good product people clamor to buy it making me rich. But the government taking that money I earned with a gun to my head is not theft and is somehow just?

The fact is, if you have ambition, intelligence, a good work ethic, you can turn an idea into a fortune for yourself. There is no wealthy class, or aristocracy in America, other than political aristocracy. Anyone in America can become wealthy and it happens to thousands of people in American every year.

That ends if people like Mamdani get their way. Then no one becomes wealthy or has an opportunity, other than the ruling class which will include people like Mamdani.

If people really believe property confiscation is just we are doomed. Our future is indeed dark.

The future is dark at least for a while. All Biblical prophecy will be fulfilled and most already has been fulfilled. America is not mentioned in the Bible so we have to fall, although that is not to say we should not fight against it. The world is being set up for the "Great Tribulation", aka "Daniel's 70th Week" & "The Time of Jacob's Trouble". It will be the worst 7 year period this world has ever seen. During the Tribulation the most charismatic person in modern history will come to power. That will be the antichrist, aka the Beast. All of the AI stuff we are seeing will be the foundation for the "Beast System". The Bible talks about the Mark of the Beast, that everyone must take to be able to buy or sell anything. That will be controlled by AI.

There is hope in the end but only through faith in Jesus Christ who will return at the end of the 7 year period and will set up his kingdom on Earth for 1000 years. Many Christians, including me, believe in the pre-tribulation rapture of the Church where Jesus will come and bring all the believers alive and dead to Heaven during the tribulation only to return with him in the end.

I know you are not a believer but I promise you it is all true and time is running short. I believe God answered the prayers of many Christians to let Trump get back in office allowing everyone one final chance to come to know Jesus. God also used Trump to advance Bible prophecy by doing things like naming Jerusalem the capitol of Israel. He also started the Abraham accords. The antichrist will officially come to power when he ratifies a treaty with the many and Israel. I think that treaty could well be the Abraham Accords.

I suggest you get a book like the "Late Great Planet Earth" that explains Biblical prophecy and to start reading the Bible.

I found out last year the many schools no longer require students to read George Orwell's "1984" which is a dark warning about the evils of socialism. If you read the book you know at the end that the real reason for the oppressive rigid rules of the party are not for the benefit of the people, or to keep that socialist government upright. The rules are designed to keep the top party member in a life of luxury. While the people have their food and drink rationed, the party elite swim in abundance. This is what socialism is and always has been. There is always a ruling class and the people work to food the ruling class.

But young people who grew up in a free society think they will have the same freedoms they have today in a socialist society. Ask the people of Cuba who thought the same thing when Castro took over. The first change you will see if the removal of your civil rights. You simply cannot have a free society and socialism or communism.

THEM: "Professor, we do such a good job indoctrinating young minds, how do we lose them so easily after they graduate/drop out?"

PROFESSOR: "They go out into the real world and begin working and paying taxes and seeing how stupid your dogma is."

THEM: "We can fix that. We can make sure none of them have any marketable skill at all and have nothing useful to contribute therefore they'll stay dependent."

PROFESSOR: "It will take a couple of generations but it's the only way."

Remember the guy who threw a sandwich at ICE agents? He was acquitted yesterday by a Washington DC jury. This should infuriate everyone. And it lends credence to my opinion that we need to blame Democrat voters for what Democrats are doing to America. This is the second liberal jury to acquit a Democrat supporters for a crime with open and shut evidence. The other was Michael Sussmann, the Democrat attorney who lied to the FBI when he presented claims of Trump crimes to the FBI and told them he was not representing anyone when in fact he was representing the Hillary Clinton campaign. Sussman was acquitted despite evidence proving he lied because the DC jury argued, "there are more important things to worry about than lying to the FBI".

In any case, the jury in this case says it is okay to throw sandwiches at ICE officers. I don't know what else they think is okay to throw at people but I suspect we will se more sandwich throwing and maybe some other stuff until someone is hurt.

Maybe what we need to do is to throw some sloppy sandwiches at members of the jury as they are on their way to work, Let them feel and smell the result of having a sandwich full of mayo and mustard on their thrown on their clothing. Perhaps that might change their minds about the severity of the crime.
