@Cernovich Prediction: as approval for this war continues to nosedive, the once relevant but now newly irrelevant podcasters will be blamed entirely for the loss in support … & will be called antisemitic traitors to boot

I understand that’s how it works now, but that wasn’t how it was designed. Guess who screwed it up? Politicians. That said - it is a defined benefit plan, with caps. Why should I have to pay beyond my cap and fund someone else’s retirement? Better yet, let me opt out completely so I can invest it in something that will give a much higher rate of return. So, no. I don’t think the solution is to take more of my income than they already do.

@SlippySlipnuts @conorjrogers But you're not getting the money you put in, retired people get that. When you retire, your retirement is paid by active workers. It works as long as the demographics are right, but birth rights are down and we can't keep the pyramid scheme going. So what's the solution?

One of the most radicalizing moments of my life was when I learned that they just stop collecting social security taxes on money earned over like $150K. Like you just suddenly keep 3-6% more money on all money over that threshold.
Fuck You I Quit@fuckyouiquit
Every dollar earned below $184,500 a year has a Social Security tax of 12.4%. Everything after that cap is exempt. If we lift this cap on the wealthiest earners, Social Security would be fully funded till 2070. The cap should not exist.

To All American Soldiers! We hope you’ve been informed that #IRAN is the place where Palestinian, Lebanese, Iraqi, and Yemeni fighters have mastered ground combat at a highly professional level! You’re about to face a true master of ground warfare: Welcome To IRAN, Habibi!

@the_jefferymead More specifically- they are lying when they say their main concern is that citizens won’t be able to figure out how to comply with an ID requirement.

Humans operate off of incentive structures. Democrats fighting the SAVE America Act so hard is a sign.
They do not think it will benefit their party.

More Americans have been killed in Chicago in the past four weeks than the number of Americans killed fighting Iran.

If true this would be a huge win for feminism. Women are grossly underrepresented in the dictatorship and authoritarianism fields.

None of them have an answer for why Hamas refuses to identify themselves with uniforms- a war crime.
Why is it a war crime?
Bc it purposefully obscures civilians vs. combatants.
Ben Shapiro@benshapiro
If you can't see the difference between terrorists who behead babies, celebrate it, and hide behind their own children to avoid consequence, and soldiers who attempt to avoid civilian casualties, you are not "morally sophisticated." You are a fool, and a dangerous fool at that.

Milton Friedman 🗣️
“Inflation is just like alcoholism. In both cases when you start drinking or when you start printing too much money, the good effects come first. The bad effects only come later.”
“That’s why in both cases there is a strong temptation to overdo it: to drink too much and to print too much money.”
“When it comes to the cure, it’s the other way around. When you stop drinking or when you stop printing money, the bad effects come first and the good effects only come later.”
“That’s why it’s so hard to persist with the cure.”

Not only is this incredibly dishonest—benefits are capped, too, so this makes sense—it flies directly in the face of the other dishonest claim the exact same people make, which is that “it’s not a tax, it’s a savings program.”
Senate Budget Democrats@SenateBudget
MURRAY: Is it true that people making under $184k pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? DAHL: Yes. MURRAY: And the rate for someone making $1 million? DAHL: 2.2%. MURRAY: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184k, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.

Some ppl have been bamboozled by Joe Kent's "just asking questions" routine, and have failed to detect his bizarre insinuation that Israel may have tried to kill Trump (a truly crazy idea to entertain IMO).
Yes, Kent did insinuate that Israel might have been behind the Butler attempt on Trump's life. But you need to listen to Tucker's question in order to see the insinuation.
The timestamped link is in the tweet below.
Tucker asked, in essence: Since it's clear that Israel pushed Trump into this war, what kind of pressure do you think they applied?
Kent answered, in essence: There are two possibilities [of pressure Israel could have applied]. First, it could be the lobbyists in his ear. Or second, it could be much darker. We still don't know what happened at Butler, we don't know what happened to Charlie Kirk, but we know Trump feels like his life is threatened.
In the context of Tucker's question, that is a clear insinuation that Israel might have been behind both Butler and Charlie Kirk. How else can you read it?
The hedging he does immediately afterwards––"by no means am I saying Israel did this or that"––doesn't undo the insinuation. It just clarifies that it is an insinuation, rather than a confident statement of Kent's beliefs.
Either way, it shows that Kent is in La La Land.

@Fair_and_Biased @ConvoswColeman @coldxman @ggreenwald Coleman is one of the clearest thinkers and speakers in all of the commentary industry. In the mold of Thomas Sowell… not quite on the same level, but reminds me of him (and not because of his race).
English
@ConvoswColeman @coldxman @ggreenwald It’s a joke for Glenn to say there’s a shortage of people attacking the groups he mentioned.
People like Glenn attack them every day.
I’m not sure there’s a person in the history of the world more relentlessly attacked than Trump.

Coleman Hughes (@Coldxman) presses Glenn Greenwald (@GGreenwald) on his relationship with Tucker Carlson.
@Coldxman: “I’ve heard [Tucker] promulgate lies to an extent that is really shocking to me…2020 election…Pizzagate…Aliens…Do you, as a journalist, feel that you have a responsibility to hold him accountable?”
@GGreenwald: “I’m not saying everything Tucker has said has been in agreement with me. I’m not saying it hasn’t deviated from the facts. I’m not saying that he doesn’t occasionally wander into conspiracy theory. I think that’s true of a lot of people…
But my journalism has focused on the people who can start wars—like the U.S. security state—and the people who can spy on us—like the NSA—and the people who go around the world killing people—like the CIA and the president—who can start wars…That’s my focus…There’s no shortage of people attacking Tucker Carlson every single day. But there is a shortage of people attacking all the other institutions. The much more damaging and powerful ones.”

🔥 BEST VIDEO OF THE YEAR
Rare moment of truth at the UN from brave Kuwaiti dissident @JJJuraid, invited by UN Watch:
Mr. Chair,
I heard the term “colonizers.” But who are the real colonizers? A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land.
Who Arabized Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians and Amazighs? It was us, the Arabs.
So why does the council enshrine a lie by keeping a permanent agenda item on Palestine, while ignoring the indigenous heart of Israel returning home?
Let us be clear about who is actually defending our sovereignty. Today, Israel is a fighter for peaceful nations, freeing Gaza from Hamas and saving Iranians from the Islamic Republic.
What Israel is doing to the IRGC — stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons — is a gift to humanity.
There are 57 Islamic countries and only one Jewish state, Israel. Despite the ongoing hateful desire to eliminate it, Israel has not only survived, it has thrived.
I don't believe in miracles, but this is one.
So I ask the UN: when will you end the ritual of condemning Israel?
Is it not time, instead, to learn from Israel? How to defeat terror, defend free societies, and pursue peace.
Thank you.

Just so I’m clear, if Palestine was an Arab state like so many falsely claim it was, this newspaper title should say “Arabs invade themselves.”
Unless Palestine was Israel and this was the beginning of the war of independence when the Arab nations attacked the Jews instead of accepting the state they were given by the UN in the partition plan.
People should really open a history book from time to time.
English
@robkhenderson Maybe. But so is government intrusion into every aspect of our lives, deciding what the rest of us should, and shouldn’t, be allowed to do.
