@loganclarkhall Criminal not to have a Union burger named for Chamberlain in Gettysburg

Imagine walking around Gettysburg battlefield and seeing where Pickett made his charge then stopping for lunch and scarfing down a Robert E. Lee burger. Literally the greatest country on earth

Gotta love Gettysburg’s Blue & Gray Grill totally buying into the Civil War theme (even using middle names of some of the generals on the menu!)

We need new solutions to make housing more affordable for families.
@DeclanLeary discusses the idea of raising property taxes, while providing generous exemptions for family primary residences, to discourage speculative ownership and support families.

“MAGA is descended in a direct historical line from John Adams.”
Shockingly correct take from random woke old man.

MAGA would have defended the redcoats in the Boston Massacre.

Anyone who admits they’d fight for the other side if the chips were down needs to get denaturalized and deported.
This is getting ridiculous.
I’m not going to share a country with sworn enemies.
This isn’t a controversial take.

By definition, the U.S. is not “their home.” The H-1B is a non-immigrant temporary visa. Even if you’re pro-H-1B, it’s an outright lie to act as if these people are anything more than visitors here. Their home is the country you pretend they’re “trapped” in.
Billy Binion@billybinion
This is atrocious. These law-abiding H-1B holders were following the rules to renew their visas. They’re now trapped abroad, separated from their families, and unsure if they’ll be able to work. The U.S. is their home. Cruelty for the sake of it.

Using the term “stranded” to describe people being in their homeland is beyond ridiculous
The Washington Post@washingtonpost
Indian H-1B visa holders who traveled back to India this month to renew their American work permits are now stranded after their appointments were abruptly canceled and rescheduled for months later, according to immigration lawyers. wapo.st/4pUpcIc

Apparently nobody is understanding that this guy isn’t accidentally “good” on an issue.
This is done only to make it easier for illegal aliens and other foreigners to “set up shop” without having to jump through hoops. Established businesses didn’t have that luxury, but now Mamdani is increasing startup cash for “new businesses” (whose businesses?) and removing regulations or waving fines for things that I’m guessing these extremely un-assimilated demographics would have no ability to do, much less interest in doing.
Cleanliness standards, worker hygiene standards, temperature control/food safety, inspections, record-keeping…something tells me that Mamdani isn’t rugpulling his Marxist base. He’s rewarding it.
Because Marxism is not an ideology to people with no intellectual history. It means “free stuff and doing whatever I want.” That’s why the foreign-born population elected him mayor and that’s what he’s doing here.
The absolutely last thing you need is less oversight and regulation of people who are navigating civilization for the first time.

It’s true that income tax is more easily defended philosophically than property tax.
It’s also true that, under present circumstances, punitive property taxes (with carveout for primary residence of families w/kids under 18) would solve a big chunk of our civilizational problem.

H-1B talent didn’t steal jobs. They built Silicon Valley, NASA, AI labs, chip design, med-tech & Wall Street algorithms. $100k H-1B fee isn’t about jobs. It’s about optics, populism, and scapegoating. A cheap vote-buying gimmick dressed up as patriotism. Short-term applause. Long-term collapse of competitiveness. Populism always wins the election, but loses the future.

Embarrassing that the worthless GOP has never come with and campaigned on a real plan to do something about student loans.
The solution is obvious:
(1) Make student loans dischargeable in bankruptcy like any other debt;
(^and I say that as someone who paid off 100% of my $200,000 in student loans, so don’t think that I’m just talking my book here because I wouldn’t personally benefit)
(2) Require colleges to guarantee all student loan debt so that if they get discharged in bankruptcy, then the college is on the hook to pay them off; and
(3) Repeal the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964 and allow employers to use employment tests to judge the aptitude of potential employees.
Just get those three things done and watch what happens.
You don’t need to just forgive student loans the way Joe Biden tried to do.
Bankruptcy exists for a reason, and people who get into too much debt, even if it was for a college education, should have access to it just the same as someone who has too much credit card debt.
And there are definitely reasons why you would NOT want to declare bankruptcy if you were actually capable of paying off your loans, so colleges that actually did a good job of educating their students at a reasonable price and helping them get good paying jobs should still be fine.
The colleges that wouldn’t be fine are the worst offenders of overcharging students for worthless degrees to support sinecures for leftists, and those colleges deserve to be shut down anyway.
9mmSMG@9mmsmg
People are detached from the reality of what student loans are doing to our younger generations. A lot of people are deaf to it and simply offer a "well why don't you make a million dollars a year and pay it back?" Much of the right like to act like they're all the Monopoly guy where cash grows from trees. I know full forgiveness seems extreme, but at a minimum, the interest should be removed (They've earned enough) or reduced DRAMATICALLY. A lot of the right seems to love blood sucking usury, but it is the death of a nation.

Both of these people would get insanely offended if you starting talking about 'real Americans' vs 'immigrant Americans' but for some reason being from Ohio and moving to New York is a form of original sin that must be cleansed with humiliation rituals.

Nobody is “banning” soda for people on SNAP. You’re welcome to buy a Mr. Pibb any time you like. But I’m not buying it for you anymore.
Jay Black@jayblackisfunny
They *say* it’s for “health reasons”, but you kinda know in the deep parts of your soul that banning soda for people on SNAP is some weird, puritanical judgment on the poor, right? The world is hard; I feel like everyone should be allowed to have a Mr. Pibb from time to time.

I think often, by name, of ancestors going back 15 generations or more in various lines. Many of them lived in the same town where I was born and still live now — built it, and built a nation from it.
My children will know their names too, and I hope they’ll honor them.
Sad that this is beyond you.

The 1986 Reagan amnesty bill made it a crime to knowingly employ illegal immigrant labor. Yet in the 39 years since that bill passed, "there has not been a single year ... that more than 25 people have been prosecuted under the statute."
That should change. People respond to incentives: If business owners learn that employing illegal labor is a fast track to fines and criminal charges, they will stop hiring them, and self-deportation will dramatically accelerate.
It's also an easy PR win. Force the left to defend businesses that are exploiting migrant labor and undercutting American workers.

How rare is it for employers to be prosecuted for hiring illegal immigrant workers? “There has not been a single year since 1986, when the Immigration Reform and Control Act took effect, that more than 25 people have been prosecuted under the statute.” commonplace.org/2025/07/14/mak…
