In early May, a Palestinian illegal alien nearly decapitated a 14-year-old boy as he murdered him. Germany is calling the illegal alien an asylum seeker. The 37-year-old illegal Palestinian was denied asylum but couldn’t be deported. The Palestinian had lived in Germany since around 2021 under a temporary “Duldung” (tolerated stay) status after his asylum claim was rejected, partly because his identity and nationality documents were unclear, making it impossible to deport him. He had prior convictions for property damage and illegal residence. The murdered boy, Jermaine B., went missing on May 2nd. His body was found 3 days later in an abandoned building near Memmingen train station. The suspect was found hiding in a cupboard in the same building. When discovered, he attacked officers with a knife, fled, and was later confronted outside an indoor swimming pool. He again lunged at police with a knife, and officers shot him multiple times. He died in the hospital. Police are now investigating whether the officers’ use of lethal force was justified. The madness of woke! 14-year-old German boy Jermaine B. was murdered and nearly THE decapitated by a Palestinian asylum seeker earlier this month.

A Chinese immigrant escapes one of history’s most brutal communist regimes, crosses the Pacific, lands in America, collects a multi-million dollar net worth, and then steps in front of a red carpet microphone to declare that capitalism is “the greatest evil in the world.” That is exactly what Hacks star and professional they/them progressive Poppy Liu said at a recent premiere, before adding, generously, that she would “be okay with [capitalism]” if fewer people lived under oppression. A noble sentiment. A historically illiterate one (because capitalism leads to less oppression) and coming from her specifically, one of the most spectacular acts of self-unawareness in Hollywood this week. How do we know? Because last year, Poppy sat down with the L.A. Times to share her ideal Los Angeles Sunday. The schedule: 10:30 a.m personal training session. 11:30 acupuncture recovery. A quick bite at Amara Cafe. An afternoon trek to Koreatown for fresh fruit. Dinner at Levant Bistro. Movie night. And then, naturally, some late-night TikTok couch rot to wind down, after she put “they” to sleep. (The toddler is nongender.) Every single stop on that itinerary was brought to her by the economic system she’d like to dismantle. The irony is again richer than a 12-course tasting menu. Let’s briefly audit what capitalism actually provided for Poppy’s American dream. The personal trainer hustling clients in a free market. The acupuncturist running a private practice. The cafe, the restaurant, the movie theater: all private enterprises, all paying wages, all generating profit, all apparently evil. The phone she used to post about it all? Designed by a company, assembled across a global supply chain, powered by semiconductors and lithium batteries that exist because competitive markets incentivized someone to invent them. Her career? Funded by capitalist studios and streaming giants. Her designer wardrobe and thousand-dollar couture dress? It operates through international trade and global capitalist markets. Her immigration story? The electric car with GPS and safety features that brought her to the vanity show? All market-driven. All only possible because she landed in a country built on economic freedom rather than state control. China, where she spent much of her youth, tried the alternative. It killed tens of millions of people through the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, and fostered state-managed famine on an industrial scale. She made it out, made it to America, made millions, and her takeaway is that capitalism is the problem. This deranged mentality that she and other elites are projecting is going to slowly kill America, if we let it. It’s nothing new, however. Hating the merchant class is one of the oldest political tricks in human history. Ancient Greeks viewed private trade as disruptive. Medieval Europeans were suspicious of commerce. For centuries, aristocrats rallied against anyone who threatened the established order of wealth. The resentment predates Marx by millennia. He just gave it a pamphlet. What Marx actually did was shift the target. Before Marx, people resented wealth. After Marx, they were taught to resent the wealthy. To hate the person, not just the gap. To see every successful entrepreneur as a thief, every profit as exploitation, every billionaire as a threat to democracy. Modern progressives didn’t invent this; they just introduced it to the youth on TikTok. And it’s working. Only 54% of Americans now view capitalism positively. The lowest number in 15 years. This ought to terrify you. As I “Sunday Scrolled” on Instagram, I came across a viral video that inaccurately reframed the entire economic debate between Capitalism and communism as a father asking his daughter: if another kid doesn’t have a lunch, do you share yours? She says yes. Dad says, “Then you’re a little commie.” The implication was that capitalism means hoarding your sandwich while your classmate starves. It was emotional, clever, and completely wrong. A child voluntarily sharing her lunch is not communism. That’s private property plus individual charity. Americans donate over $590 billion annually, the highest charitable giving rate on earth. Communism isn’t the sweet kid at the lunch table. Communism is the government seizing the cafeteria, mismanaging the food supply, and leaving everyone hungry. Ask Venezuela. Ask the Soviet Union. Ask the 45 million people who died in Mao’s Great Leap Forward. The video had 5.6 million views. The comments had a collective IQ of 80. The indoctrination is working. Nobody is arguing that capitalism is perfect. It is flawed, but obviously the best option we’ve got. Under it, global extreme poverty cratered from 42% to under 9% since 1990. Lifespans doubled over the last century. The smartphone in your pocket contains more computing power than NASA used to land astronauts on the moon, and you can buy one for a few hundred dollars. This happened because markets reward innovation, competition drives down costs, and human ingenuity is allowed to function. Every alternative has delivered something else. Stagnation. Poverty. Body Counts. Even Sweden, long the Left’s favorite argument for socialism, is embracing capitalism wholesale: free markets, private enterprise, lower taxes, and strong property rights. And of course, it’s working. The country has seen massive increases in innovation and Initial Public Offerings, so much so that the small country of 11 million is far outpacing Germany, France, and the Netherlands. What the Poppys of the world are selling is not a better system. It is envy dressed in the language of compassion, packaged by people wealthy enough to never feel the consequences of the ideas they promote. They hate billionaires from their million-dollar homes. They hate corporations on the devices that those corporations made. They perform poverty from penthouses and call it solidarity. They fight “oppression” over oat-milk matchas. Poppy Liu immigrated from a country that starved its own people in the name of economic equality, built a career in a country that rewards talent and ambition, accumulated real wealth, and concluded that the problem is capitalism. She is welcome to her opinion. She is welcome to donate her sequined couture, her L.A. restaurant tabs, her streaming residuals, and her personal training sessions to the revolution. We’ll take the million-dollar home too, since she’s offering. For the rest of us: you are not a bad person for believing in free markets. You are not greedy for wanting to keep what you earn. You are not heartless for understanding that a system rewarding innovation and competition has done more to lift human beings out of poverty than any government program in history. The greatest evil of all time did not build the modern world. Capitalism did. Don’t let the millionaire tell you otherwise.

Millennials everywhere are letting out a collective “Feeny!” scream as news hits that the beloved “Boy Meets World” actor has an “open marriage” with his wife of nearly 75 years. William Daniels, who played Mr. Feeny in the popular ’90s coming-of-age sitcom, saw other people during his marriage, as did his wife, actress Bonnie Bartlett. Now in her 90s, Bartlett discussed the arrangement with the Daily Mail. Bartlett explained that the pair “did go in different directions” early on in their marriage, but never formally discussed rules for the open marriage. “There was never any discussion as to what we were going to do, but in 75 years, the two of you together, you know, it would be abnormal if you … weren’t attracted occasionally to other people,” she said. “So there have been times, yeah, both of us, on both sides, yeah, and that is in the book,” the actress said. Bartlett released her memoir, “Middle of the Rainbow,” in 2023. “It was non-spoken,” she said. “Bill and I never sit down and make rules. We never sit down and talk about these things. We just don’t. We just live our lives. And if he’s away for a year, he’s away for a year.” “Our lives just went on, but we never got unhinged,” the 96-year-old continued. “We never got unhinged, but our lives did go in different directions occasionally.” Fans of the show were quick to react to the news. For example, one account posted, “I got worried when I saw Mr Feeny from boy meets world was in the New York Post cause I thought he died but it turned out to be worse.” “Oh no…Feeeney…Fah, Fah, Fah Feeny is a degenerate weirdo,” another account commented.  Bartlett, who will celebrate her 75th wedding anniversary with Daniels in June, has previously discussed hardships the two have faced during their union, including the tragic death of their son. The child died just a day after his birth due to complications. Bartlett and Daniels went on to adopt two boys. “That’s the best thing that ever happened to us,” she said of the adoption, during a 2024 interview. “And it happened after losing a child, after great pain and sadness, and then we got these two wonderful boys, and they have been a joy the whole marriage. I can’t imagine life without them.”

MSNOW host Katy Tur, in a stunning display of historical illiteracy, questioned the foundational bedrock of the American republic, targeting House Speaker Mike Johnson, who had dared to repeat the very premise that birthed the United States: that our rights come from God, not the government. During a segment on her show, Tur referred to Johnson’s speech at the “Rededicate 250” rally on Sunday, in which Johnson stated: And You gave our fathers the wisdom and faith to establish this new nation, premised on the Biblical and foundational principle that all men are created equal and free before you. Through Your divine providence, our Founders acknowledged and boldly proclaimed this self-evident truth: That every single person is created in your image and that we are endowed by you, our Creator, with our unalienable rights to life and liberty. The pursuit of happiness.   To any student of basic American history, Johnson’s words were a standard recitation of the Declaration of Independence. But to Tur, it was a scandalous theological overreach. A bewildered Tur asked, “What about this passage from Mike Johnson declaring that our rights do not derive from government, they come from You, our Creator and heavenly Father. Is this him putting God over the Declaration of Independence?” God talk is SO foreign to MS NOW.

The Left’s modern discomfort with this concept betrays a dangerous desire to elevate the State to the position of the Almighty. The American Founders, heavily influenced by John Locke and the concept of “Natural Law,” synthesized a radical political philosophy: there is a divine law that supersedes any earthly king, parliament, or congress. Thomas Jefferson famously encapsulated this in 1776, writing that all men are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” By definition, “unalienable” means these rights are inherent to human nature. Because the government did not grant them, the government has no authority to revoke them. In the Founders’ view, the state is not the source of rights; it is merely a trustee — a security guard hired to protect them. If the security guard begins to violate those rights, the citizens retain the moral authority to fire the government. Whether looking through an orthodox Christian lens or a Deist Enlightenment lens, the Founders united under a singular banner: No human politician has the authority to override divine design. This distinction is not a matter of semantics; it is the ultimate shield against tyranny. If rights are granted by the state — via a constitution, a dictator, or a shifting democratic majority — then they can be amended, restricted, or entirely voted away by the state. But if they are a gift from God, they remain absolute and permanent. Katy Tur’s inability to grasp this fundamental truth exposes the Left’s ultimate goal: a society where the government is the supreme arbiter of human freedom.
