The first and most essential thing that a right winger has to do today is reject the core leftist framework of oppressor-oppressed. Instead, he must see that for him the truth of the world for the foreseeable future is Besieged-Besieger. And he is the former.

@MariaDavidson @Heminator To California’s Democratic Party members who are state employees, silly.

California's population grew 0.4% in the last decade. The number of state employees grew 24.5%. Total state spending grew 48%, inflation adjusted. You have to ask - where did all the money go?

@sissenberg @Heminator @nytimes Biggest newsroom in the country encounters the crisis of competence.

Does the @nytimes know what NATO stands for?

@FaytuksNetwork That’s the step before “tax increases” framed as a “surcharge.”

BREAKING: Trump will frame the Republican Party's midterm message around a "massive defense buildup, partially paid for by cuts to domestic agencies and health-care entitlements" - Bloomberg

@Choostas @marcthiessen @dpletka This is not a surprise. He was one of those — and there were many in Conservatism, Inc. — who in 2016 when Trump castigated Bush over Iraq was still screaming “But we won! Remember the Surge, the Surge?”

@marcthiessen @dpletka Marc, 20 years ago, over Iraq: You're either with us or against us. Marc, today, over Iran: You're either with us or against us. Lessons learned: Zero. Wisdom attained: Zero. Intellectual growth: Negative.

Great piece by @dpletka: "Tell me, as a supporter of NATO; as a stalwart of the transatlantic alliance; as someone outraged by Donald Trump’s earlier threats to withdraw from the alliance; what am I to say? How am I to defend the indefensible? In short, I cannot." open.substack.com/pub/whatthehel…

@mlbtraderumors All of his pitches showed reduced velocity. He stretched his right arm after almost every pitch. Clearly, an injury causing discomfort was indicated. Millions of Red Sox fans were thinking that while watching his 3/30 appearance.

Red Sox Place Johan Oviedo On Injured List, Recall Tyler Uberstine For MLB Debut mlbtraderumors.com/2026/04/red-so…

For me the real danger of MLB’s new ABS umpiring process happens when one team runs out of challenges and the other team wins its challenges and retains the right to challenge. Won’t many umps subconsciously (or not) start giving the close calls to the latter, knowing the team out of challenges can’t complain about it? The result would be a different strike zone for each team, pitching and hitting, in the late innings of a game.

The train is leaving the station. Are we going to get on, or keep holding the bag the way Bush Republicans did with Iraq until 2016? politico.com/news/2026/03/2…

@ofthebambino @AGJamesUthmeier @willchamberlain I didn’t move there. You changed the subject.

@Freesmith @AGJamesUthmeier @willchamberlain You've now moved from an originalist (founders intent) argument, to an interpretational (SCOTUS) argument. But I'll play that game too. Walk me through Everson v. Board of Education.

As John Adams explained, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." Unfortunately, some Florida laws prohibit religious schools from accessing public funds, and we will not enforce unconstitutional laws.

@ofthebambino @AGJamesUthmeier @willchamberlain Apples and oranges. Are we talking about the establishment clause or immigration law, where the court has stated that the federal government has complete authority? The Supreme Court has said that, hasn’t it?

@Freesmith @AGJamesUthmeier @willchamberlain So you've got no issues with sanctuary cities, or how elections are run, right? After all, states decide.

@ofthebambino @AGJamesUthmeier @willchamberlain Like almost all the framers, he left it to the states to decide. States like Florida.

@Freesmith @AGJamesUthmeier @willchamberlain Cool, now how about James Madison?

@PollTracker2024 Whoever said he wasn’t a typical Republican?

Bloomberg: President Donald Trump is preparing to release a fiscal year 2027 budget plan on Friday that will frame his party’s midterm election message around a massive defense buildup, partially paid for by cuts to domestic agencies and health-care entitlements. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@EricLDaugh We are in the “waiting for the sexual infractions claims to drop” phase of this black “conservative’s” campaign.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump-endorsed Florida governor candidate Byron Donalds leads the GOP primary by a whopping +42 POINTS, with the next closest candidates only polling at 4% — Emerson HUGE! He also just broke the non-incumbent fundraising record for Q1 Keep pushing, Byron! 🔥☀️

@nut_history The pre-black, pre-Latino White style captured in a photo. Not saying it’s better (altho it is for me), just saying it was different. Also Lance Alworth never did a touchdown dance.

@ramzpaul “Blessed are the peacemakers” is in the NEW Testament.

Israel does not want peace. A nation that rejects Christ and engages in genocide, blackmail and murder. Sickening that our tax dollars support this evil.

@cryptorover @ramzpaul It’s puzzling that we are fighting this war to solve a problem that didn’t exist until we started fighting this war.

💥BREAKING: Iran's toll gate is in FULL swing. Over the last 24 hours, several tankers have passed through the gate, clearing the Strait of Hormuz. Payments only accepted in Crypto or Chinese yuan!

@CurtMills Well, Curt, now we finally know the real reason Fox News fired Tucker Carlson, don’t we?
