The central planner has spoken: run your business his way - or else. And if he can dictate that, tomorrow he’ll dictate how you live, what ideas you’re allowed to hold - all for the common good.
If you're investing in the United States, you're about to get a huge tax cut thanks to President Trump. But if you're shipping jobs overseas, you're going to get hit with a big fat tariff. It's time to invest in our own country again and that's exactly what we're doing🇺🇸

I support immigrants who come here to work or who have private means of support. Governments should not be spending one cent of taxpayer money on them. It’s both wrong and a recipe for the general anti-immigrant backlash that’s growing in Canada right now.
NEW FROM ME: Housing illegal migrants has cost Canada $1.1 billion since 2017 — with Budget 2024 earmarking another $1.1 billion to extend the federal housing program until 2027 torontosun.com/news/national/…
New: Palantir's CTO and several early employees are raising money to launch Founders Films, a film and TV production studio that aims to "say yes to projects about American exceptionalism, name America’s enemies, back artists unconditionally, take risk on novel IP.”

PYM Toronto’s Ghassan Abulawi (arrested for obstructing police at/after the Bari Weiss event on Sept 11) was at the U of T presser this morning bemoaning the “harmful rhetoric” of Shai Davidai. That victory sign you're flashing is looking more ridiculous every day, Ghassan.
Toronto, CA 🇨🇦 This week, Ghassan Abulawi, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement, was arrested for the second time in less than a year by Toronto Police. Abulawi, 30, was among several individuals arrested during a disruptive protest at Spadina and Front on July 19.…
One of the arrestees on July 19, 2025, was naturopathic doctor Leslie Solomonian, whom we previously encountered at a federal candidates meeting in Toronto—St. Paul’s. Dr. Solomonian stood out for the wrong reasons at that event. First, she tried physically blocking my…

Canadians still have the UK to make us look sane by comparison.
Insane. Six weeks in prison for sending a racist tweet. No threat or incitement to violence, but "clearly racist": six weeks in prison.

Hi antisemite @briebriejoy I’m a gay man living in Israel with my partner. We are legally married, we have a child, and we are both the legal parents of that child. Our gay friends can legally adopt children in Israel. We have pride parades here, and I’m also a proud teacher in…
When “informed choice” means forcing @Apple to advertise its rivals, something’s upside-down. The court just handed the keys to Apple’s Platform to @EpicGames – rent-free. Is this justice or plunder? 👇
A free press requires government involvement and funding to ensure independence, the public good, and diversity? Tell me how you get that from this: “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.”
That’s a disingenuous argument. The corporation for public broadcasting was independent as are PBS/NPR. The goal is programming for the public good: not driven by politics or an algorithm. The more we degrade the diversity of the information Americans have access to, the worse…
I'm no student of the ideals of the American Revolution, but I suspect they might conflict with the notion of a head of state deciding what kind of sweetener goes in the drinks.
People who are still claiming that “this isn’t America’s war” will keep claiming that when they see a mushroom cloud over Manhattan.
The US attacked Iran, and our retaliatory strike against it was very significant. God willing, once censorship is removed, it will become clear what Iran has truly done.
“One fitting response from Apple is found in the private text message exchange (now in the courts’ public record) by Apple’s communications director: ‘It’s our F*****G STORE.’”
Great new piece by @MMichulka and @BakulaRobertas on the latest antitrust outrage, this time against @Apple by @EpicGames. Excellent moral clarity on the value Apple has created that's now being ruthlessly exploited. new-ideal.aynrand.org/p/how-epic-gam…
“The entrenched premise of Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare is that someone’s need for medical care entitles him to the unearned: the effort and wealth of others—not only taxpayers, but notably the medical professionals who make health care possible. We reject that premise as…
