The history of the welfare state is the history of the state's savage war of aggrandizement and seizure of authority against civil society. Whether in Germany, in the United Kingdom, in Australia, in Canada, in Scandinavia, or in the United States, the coercive state systematically destroyed the "voluntary sector" of civil society and those intermediary institutions that protected the individual from the direct contact and control by the state [much as the Church did for nearly all of the previous two millennia]. Within the short space of two or three decades the protective sphere covered by workingmen's social and other fraternal duties had been stripped to nothing more than drinking associations, with all other matters taken over by the state apparatus. Henceforth, the workingman and much of the middle class reported directly to the bureaucracy of the state's intrusive regime. Everything they did was in some way or another regulated, regimented and overseen by the state. The dire effects of this calculated collectivism was
malevolence not benevolence,
aggression not altruism,
genocide not generosity.

Orban met with Trump at the White House on Friday, masterfully handling a long agenda of items crafted to take both nations and the world closer to peace and Christendom.
Both governments reiterated their commitment to promoting peace efforts in Ukraine. Orbán noted that discussions about hosting a peace summit in Budapest remain ongoing. ‘Hungary offers its capabilities to assist in ending the war in Ukraine,’ he said, repeating his long-standing view that ‘Ukraine cannot defeat Russia militarily’.
Orbán characterized the meeting as ‘a day of Hungary in Washington’, noting that multiple ministerial-level discussions were held alongside the leaders’ summit. He described the talks as those of ‘two allied states with shared interests’, adding that no major disagreements emerged.
‘We identified no issue where our two nations’ positions conflicted,’ Orbán said. ‘There are no strategic differences between Hungary and the United States—only shared goals and cooperation.’

"According to a survey by JL Partners, roughly 765,000 New Yorkers—say they’re preparing to leave because of Mamdani’s election. Another 25%, or around 2.1 million, are considering it. Among high earners—those making over $250,000 a year—7% say they’re definitely fleeing.
"Why wouldn’t they? Mamdani has made it clear he views them as piggy banks. His entire platform is built on extracting their wealth and redistributing it. When you explicitly declare war on a segment of your population, that segment leaves.
"And those are the people funding everything. They’re the tax base. When they leave, revenue collapses—making it difficult, if not impossible, to fund the bloated social(ist) programs Mamdani promised. Then what? More taxes on whoever’s left. Which drives out more people. Which shrinks revenue even further.
"It’s a doom loop—and, again, entirely predictable.
"The end result is that New York’s going to end up looking a lot like the ...
No.
He let the robots cheat...driving Mamdani’s fake social media engagement sky high, which the media turned into fake news that Mamdani was popular, liked, and a genius of a political leader driving a vast grassroots explosion of excitement for a true change agent.
Bot farms out of Pakistan and India flooded X with random promotion of Mamdani coming from fake accounts...suddenly ballooning into the tens and hundreds of thousands. This is not organic engagement by real New Yorkers, but manufactured hype driven by enemy foreign code-writers rigging a US election.
The New York Post is tracking the evidence:
According to analytics compiled from Mamdani’s social media accounts, reviewed by The Post, between June 1 and July 1, Mamdani’s Instagram followers jumped from 213,000 to nearly 3 million — a 1,295% surge — while TikTok grew more than 1,000%.
Was there cheating at the voting booth? It would have been unnecessary. Real immigrants came out to vote for the ...
