Saying "this is not a golden calf" as you put up a golden calf doesn't cancel that fact out.
Pastor Mark Burns@pastormarkburns

Today at Trump National Doral Miami, we witnessed an unforgettable moment with the dedication of the 22-foot statue honoring President Donald J. Trump. Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone. This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America. It also stands as a reminder of the hand of God and His protection over President Trump’s life. Time and time again, when his life was threatened, God’s mercy prevailed. Today was not just a ribbon cutting. It was the public display of a powerful movement that has spread across America and around the world. I was deeply honored to serve as President Trump’s main point of contact throughout this process, and I do not take that assignment lightly. I want to personally thank Ash, Dustin Stockton, Brock Pierce, Hershey Friedman, Yaakov Filitchkin, Sam, Jack, and the 6,000+ Patriots who donated, believed, sacrificed, and made this historic moment possible. Thank you to the entire Trump Doral team for your incredible hospitality and excellence. And thank you, President Donald J. Trump, for calling me today and speaking to the crowd. We are forever grateful. God bless President Trump. God bless every Patriot. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸 #PresidentTrump #SpiritualDiplomats #TrumpDoral #TrumpStatueDedication #AmericaFirst #PatriotMovement #FaithFreedomPatriotism

@JohnchoVilla Just need to play Vic 20 minutes in the 2nd half. This is not the regular season, 32 min a game is not enough.

Would like to see more of the single guard lineups in 2nd half. Worked well in game 2. Having 3 of JC/DV/HB/CB on floor alongside Vic and X guard is something they can get into. Work the off ball action and empty side with Vic on ball.

@xwanyex the US wasn't founded on white supremacy, but white supremacy has definitely been a big factor for much of its history. It's fine to say we're a creedal nation that's never lived up fully to the creed, but we're getting closer! I think Obama and Rubio would both agree with that.

If Republicans want to do the creedal nation stuff, that's one thing, but liberals can't say that we're both a creedal nation and a country founded on white supremacy. You really do have to throw one of those things out.

@StolteNick @robbysoave I think some of them were worried about it but other than Adams briefly during the French crisis, none of them really tried to limit immigration in any way, mostly because the economic need for immigrants was overwhelming

That is always the problem with saying "The founders" in any discussion, but the mean or median founder would be described as a white supremacist with a very narrow definition of what an American should be...these were people who worried that German immigration would fundamentally change the culture...they would be to the right of 99% of living Americans on these issues.

This is a good example of where the "heritage American" discourse leads. In the scene this Blaze guy is quoting here as representative of his ideology, Matt Damon's WASP character is saying he's a real American and Joe Pesci's Sicilian mobster character (who has lived his entire life in America) is not. So that's that? America is for WASPS, not Italian Catholics? Does anyone really believe that? Of course not.

@robbysoave I mean people definitely did and do believe it. All the founders basically felt that way, and Teddy Roosevelt definitely did. Statues of people who thought like that are adored throughout the country.

Seconded. There is a very real chance that she avoids a runoff entirely. She was at 39% in the AJC poll with 35% undecided. If one-in-three undecideds break her way, she would hit 50% and advance straight to the general election.
GA Democrat@GADemocrat_bckp

Can everyone in the Democratic field for Georgia Governor start going on attack against Keisha Lance Bottoms? I mean she’s literally the most vulnerable Democrat in the field yet no one has come out to attack her. 🤯

@billybinion And none of those homes are bought or rented-they’re all ‘given’ to the illegal immigrants by what I can only assume are very generous people.

Wow. There are an estimated 15 million illegal immigrants in the United States. So for this to be true, each one must own two homes. Very insightful stuff from our vice president.
TheBlaze@theblaze

Vance: "You want to lower the cost of homes for American families? Why don't you stop giving 30 million homes to illegal aliens? Why don't you seal the border and make sure those homes go to American families for a change? That's how you lower the cost of housing."

@xwanyex The ironic thing is the ancient sources all say the transitions were violent, but they don’t want to believe them til DNA evidence confirmed it

So, are archaeologists just, like, retarded, or what? I’m never going to understand this thing where educated people would rather look stupid than say something that violates their politics. It’s such a black pill. You really have to imagine of people like this that there’s nothing they wouldn’t do, no evil they wouldn’t countenance. They’ll literally just say anything. They can be made to believe anything.
Dwarkesh Patel@dwarkesh_sp

David Reich on how much ancient DNA evidence has overturned so much consensus thinking how ancient cultures spread. "It wasn't peaceful, it wasn't friendly, it wasn't nice. Some of our archaeologist co-authors were just really distressed."

With respect to Jesús, economist Guilherme Martin Kleins, drawing on Alice Amsden's work and attempts by South American economists to solve exactly this problem- why did East Asia rise while South America fell- provides an answer: aeon.co/essays/how-for…

Jesús Fernández-Villaverde@JesusFerna7026

A fundamental lesson from my posts these last two weeks on modernization, industrial policy, and development is that development economics should be about understanding why South Korea got rich but Bolivia did not. The current field has largely given up on that question. Sharply identified RCTs on small micro programs are a fine way to publish in the AER and get tenure at a fancy university, but a profession that knows everything about microfinance impact evaluations and almost nothing about industrialization has misallocated its own intellectual capital on a pretty heroic scale. Four images of Seoul:

@andybliu @samhaselby Isn’t it because they developed successfully later to a higher level than any non-authoritarian country? My Korean relatives remember a much poorer Korea even in the 60s and 70s.

@samhaselby purely from anecdote, i feel like there is a piece to be written about how how south korea in particular (amsden) is studied as the prototypical development model by everyone from eastern europe to south asia to latin america. not japan, not the UK-US, but s. korea in particular

@thejfc @DouglasLFarrar @RajMahal819 @mattyglesias Exactly. Also, what anti-trust attorney has ever given a client a black and white answer? 😂 Also, it’s clear they needed to raise prices to survive. This whole “they’d raise prices by 24% to survive, the gall!” is comical.

The usual suspects are blaming Biden's DOJ for blocking the JetBlue merger. They're wrong. Spirit was killed by three things: shareholder greed, corporate mismanagement, and Donald Trump's war with Iran.
Eric Daugherty@EricLDaugh

🚨 NOW: Sec. Sean Duffy JUST WENT OFF on the Biden admin and Elizabeth Warren for CANCELING the Spirit and JetBlue merger in 2024 that would've saved the budget airline Now we have LESS COMPETITION, despite them claiming the merger would've harmed consumers. YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP "Elizabeth Warren cheered the BLOCKING...saying this was a 'Biden win for fliers.'" "We CARE about pricing! We care about competition. But if the markets say there needs to be a merger because of health issues with an airline, we HAVE to make sure we make the right choices." "History has judged the denial of the JetBlue-Spirit merger under Biden as a MASSIVE MISTAKE!"

This is a subset of the affordability debate but I think there are a fair number of youngish Americans with $200-250k household incomes who feel like that should afford a nicer lifestyle than it actually can in top 10 metros (in part because retirees still have the good houses).
