And why not? The biggest difference between International and National Socialism? Better tailoring:

The Nazi economy was socialism in a better-tailored uniform. Strip away the parades and you find exactly what Mises diagnosed in 1940 as Zwangswirtschaft: private ownership on paper, total state control in practice. You held the title to your factory.

MEDIA… I HATE THOSE GUYS:

The Boston Globe’s headline: “She came to Boston for a Noah Kahan concert. Now she’s in ICE custody”

The actual story: she missed a 2017 immigration court hearing, which triggered an outstanding removal order years ago

The concert isn’t why she’s in custody. The removal order… pic.twitter.com/KPEeT4b5ln

CHICKS DIG BAD BOYS: Why Hot Girls Are Obsessed With Richard Nixon. “The Richard Nixon trend happening right now across social media platforms is a way to show you’re standing up to the status quo, that you’re not content with the mainstream media narratives. For years, people were taught to believe that Nixon was a ‘bad’ President because of how the media attacked him. But in the social media age, Gen Z can sympathize with the plight of Nixon. They feel like they’ve been attacked, ignored, and overlooked as well in many ways. They feel like they’re fighting against a massive political system that wants to keep them quiet. His resurgence in popularity is an attempt to use social media to tell the truth about a political figure who was defamed for decades. He has become relevant because he feels authentic in an age where the internet and rise of AI slop makes everything feel fake.”

BOUGHT AND PAID FOR: That’s the Mainstream Media (MSM), key members of which were paid handsomely by the Chinese Communist Party  (CCP) to report incessantly negative “news” about Donald Trump, and which had it’s responses to the President’s Thursday night national address in the can before he spoke.

So why did none of the major MSM outlets even mention Trump’s accusation of CCP bribes to members of the MSM? Issues & Insights contributor Bob Maistros explains.

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Gun Owners Just Scored A Huge Court Victory. New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport, a Democrat, blasted the ruling. I like the lamentations of their women. “A federal appeals court ruled Friday that New Jersey’s ban on semiautomatic rifles and high-capacity magazines violates the Second Amendment, marking the first time a federal appellate court has struck down a state ban on so-called assault weapons. The Third Circuit reached the decision by a 10-5 vote, expanding a lower court ruling that had found New Jersey’s ban on Colt AR-15 rifles unconstitutional.”
