@elonmusk Super misguided and convinced they act for a greater good...

Important reminder

@FoxNews Stay on top of red states, as well. Figure out how to make sure states "have skin in the game" and are incentivized to stop rather than ignore/facilitate fraud involving federal programs. E.g., states required to pay 50% share in costs of any program?

NEW: President Trump names Vice President JD Vance the “Fraud Czar” to investigate taxpayer fraud. “His focus will be ‘EVERYWHERE,’ but primarily in those blue states,” Trump says while singling out California, Illinois, Minnesota, Maine, and New York.

@latestinspace Glad I asked grok to clarify why Artemis II trip to the moon seems slow... x.com/i/grok/share/c…

@real_EBS_ @FBI Just an idea but feds should dump the contents of ripe porta potties on any pallet delivered on protest day. Don't care if it's water or bricks. Once there's "supplies" being delivered, the protest is no longer about individuals expressing their 1st A rights.

I'm calling on the @FBI to seize all of the footage collected by the hundreds of cameras in & around LA in order to determine what truck delivered these cinder blocks that were used on ICE agts Whoever paid for this goes to jail and must have their bank accts seized, AGREE 👍

@mtm14 @DutchRojas likely...

The blue states got a first step rescue during COVID. Huge sums doled out, Congress said can’t be used for pension backfill. So they rearranged the deck chairs. Used the Fed money for other funded items, and took the previous allocated funding to the swap items and made huge payments to pension plans. So…there will be another “crisis” or just a bailout if they control enough of both chambers and the oval.

If enrollment drops 50% over the next decade, revenue bond covenants trip. Pensions crater. University towns hollow out. And the states backstopping all of it, Illinois, California, New York, are already broke. There is no rescue coming.

5,000 years of civilization: troll under bridge still gets to ruin peace, harmony & commerce out of pure egoism and spite. UN: Allow all reasonable means - including force - to end Iran's anti-global control over the Strait of Hormuz while allowing peaceful Iranians to step up and lead. x.com/i/grok/share/8…

@AzPittsburgh @Jt_town_clown @loonlake55 Excellent! Mine quit after his quadruple bypass heart surgery at age 60 or so...

@nailsonledge @Jt_town_clown @loonlake55 My dad quit and kept his last pack in a drawer for 20 yrs. Pretty cool was proud of him. But he never talked about quitting it just happened.

Too many young people are resenting Boomers, claiming that Boomers had it " easy " financially in their youth. Here are a few fun facts about growing up Boomer. 1. Almost everyone grew up with one bathroom. Mom, Dad and all 3-6 siblings. 2. If you did get to take a vacation, you drove. With no air conditioning. No cup holders. No iPads. Just black vinyl seats and bologna sandwiches. 3. There were no club sports. No Parks and Rec activities. Summer camp was for rich kids. Get yourself a bike, a stick and a few friends. If you were bored, you laid in the grass and looked at clouds. 4. You ate what was served. Even if it was chicken livers. No DoorDash, no backup Totino's rolls. 5. No AP classes, no PSEO, no "fun" elective. They assigned you to a class. You went. You did what they asked. Or else. 6. Unless you had rich parents, you had a nice VFW wedding. Maybe rent a room at a modest hotel. 7. Most Boomers got their first pedi and mani in their 50s (when their feet got farther away). We didn't even know people got massages in real life, only in Hollywood. 8. You packed your own lunch for decades. 9. No one knew what red light therapy was, a facial, a spa day, or a cold plunge. Your gym was the YMCA. Usually in a rather old building. 10. We grew up with 18 percent inflation, 14 percent mortgage rates, 3 million continuing unemployment claims, and 200 other applicants competing for the same job. Now, this is not to say Millenials and Gen Z have it easy or don't face problems. It's just to say, nobody has it easy or doesn't face problems. My only hope, as my mom would say, is I live long enough to see my kids' kids complain about how easy they had it!

@KeenanPeachy @christopherrufo CEQA, timing of Fed grants in comparison to design stages, process of negotiating easements and land purchases, the infamously aggressive low bid/high change order general contractor on the project - doomed HSR project from the start.

@christopherrufo When you add up the public employee union/SEIU fraud, homeless complex fraud, workers comp fraud, and all the other flavors of fraud, its basically 500x the entire state budget Starting to understand why we have no high speed rail

According to HHS officials, California loses more each year to Medicaid fraud than the gross annual revenues of Cisco, Intel, and Adobe.

@AzPittsburgh @Jt_town_clown @loonlake55 My dad loved Salems!

@nailsonledge @Jt_town_clown @loonlake55 Dang your dad rolled down the window. I’m still coughing up Marlboro reds 40 yrs later

@elonmusk 😳

Inspiring new merch idea: rocket pocket underpants! 🚀 🩳 Underpants with a handy pocket for your rocket, which contains a real scale model rocket with an easy pull out ability. Guaranteed to be a hit at parties!

@Jt_town_clown @loonlake55 100% true! Almost never ate at restaurants. For the road trips, an added pleasure was my dad smoked with window open just a smidge - the whole time!

@loonlake55 None of this is true. You must have some pretty severe childhood trauma to make up this bullshit take.

@Stellaaa @HarmeetKDhillon Only criminal charges plus restitution will result in clawback of taxpayer money. Public employees have statutory immunity. Ultimately, the voters were negligent in electing the Dem grifters...shall we sue each other? Gross negl if you realize we had a chance to recall Gavin...

Any Californians interested in getting a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT together for the knowingly GROSS NEGLIGENCE and theft of $180B+ of our tax dollars? Any attorneys want to get on board? We have standing and the evidence pouring out is overwhelming. Cc @HarmeetKDhillon

@WallStreetApes Tooooter Peeeerinnnni for the WIN! (sarcasm...)

The new ‘LAX People Mover’ at the Los Angeles Airport is finally being tested This elevated train connects to terminals and parking and was supposed to open 3 years ago. It is now $1 billion dollars over budget. Costing $3.4 billion dollars Here’s a list of things that cost less than this new 2 mile LAX Airport Train: - The Beijing High Speed Rail $2.3 billion. 75 miles of train for half the cost of our 2 miles - Paying $100,000 to every homeless person in the city of Los Angeles - Overthrowing the government of Venezuela - The Apollo 11 mission to the moon (not adjusted for inflation) - The third tallest building in the world - The second tallest building in the world - Both these buildings COMBINED is still cheaper than the 2 miles of train at the LAX airport The cost of this 2 miles of train at LAX airport is $4.9 billion (this is the estimated cost to complete and operations)

@jim_desmond Just like the economic impacts of Fed's Quantitative Easing, the churn of CA benefits fraud must be part of the inflation/cost of living impacts, yes?

UC Berkeley just confirmed what California families already know: this state's cost of living crisis is self-inflicted. Their new report found that California has the highest cost-of-living-adjusted poverty rate in America. Not because incomes are low. Because Sacramento made everything too expensive. Housing rents 53% above the national average. Utility costs 60% higher. PG&E bills nearly doubled since 2019. Car insurance up a third in two years. Gas pushing $5 a gallon. The biggest driver? A housing shortage created by decades of Sacramento's own regulations. People aren't leaving California because they want to. They're leaving because they can't afford to stay. Since 2020, California has had the second-worst net migration rate in the country. Families, young people, seniors — all being priced out of the state they love.

@feelsdesperate No one would need SNAP or housing subsidizes if the Lefties doing the stealing weren't themselves greedy a-holes choosing to life the life of reckless indulgence. What's been going on is the opposite of a (somewhat) sympathetic Robin Hood scheme.

I’m not a blackpiller but the web of corruption that extends between the Democratic Party, the public sector, NGOs, and various connected cronies is worse than anyone can imagine. We’re probably talking about hundreds of billions $ stolen nationally each year.

@PinoAmericano The phrase "plausible deniability" captures that every involved person gets to say, "I believed the application/claim/payment was correct and so & so, signed off on it..." and up the chain it goes. The top should be held accountable.

You know what I don’t understand about all of this fraud… we have systems in place to catch it before it happens, or at least before it snowballs. However, every story is millions or billions in fraud. How does that happen?

Officially credentialed Pentagon press corps as of today, alongside my interpreter @DataInterpretr. First Deaf journalist to hold the badge. Thank you @JoelValdezDOW for moving mountains to make this unique arrangement possible. Naturally, the legacy media is invited to congratulate the Department of War on their commitment to press corps inclusiveness. This wouldn't have been possible without you. Every $3 subscription and every engagement opened this door. Now I'm going to use it. Military institutional capture research starts today.

@libbyemmons And expressly establish ranking of levels of citizenship that integrate concepts of "allegiance", consanguinity & "right of the soil". Only the highest and clearest connection to USA should by law authorize access to (a) voting rights and (b) government supports.

Congress MUST outlaw companies that sell US citizenship. HUNDREDS of companies provide BIRTH TOURISM for foreign moms who want US citizen babies thepostmillennial.com/hundreds-of-co…

@realdefender45 MAGA should not assume that newer citizens, people that don't look like them, etc. are not also potentially or actually supportive of this shift. They can be key allies so long as not scapegoated or "othered". The USA has forever changed demographically but can retain its values.

“They want you to think the country is collapsing.” It’s not. It’s being revealed. The corruption. The incompetence. The games. You’re not crazy for seeing it. What they fear most, is an informed, awake population that actually shows up. That’s where we are right now. Not the end, the shift. Midterms aren’t about noise. They’re about action. So don’t get distracted. Don’t get exhausted. Get focused. Because this country doesn’t fall apart when people wake up… it changes.

@Ghostofcynthia Stealing and grift while also over-regulating and extinguishing organic entrepreneurialism.

Oh and by the way retards. America is not in fucking trouble because of Donald Trump. Let's get the real goddamn truth out there. America is in deep shit because of the greedy, corrupt, criminal politicians on both sides of the aisle who have spent decades building their entire careers on robbing American taxpayers blind. Lining their own pockets and selling out the country to the highest bidder while pretending to give a damn about the people they swore to serve. These self serving fucking bastards from both parties have rigged the system for their own benefit, funneling trillions in taxpayer money into their pet projects, special interests, and endless wars. All while the average working American gets squeezed harder every year with higher taxes, inflation and a disappearing middle class. They've lied, cheated, and broken every promise, turning Washington into a corrupt swamp of insiders who enrich themselves at our expense. No single person is to blame for that systemic rot it's the whole rotten bunch of them who created this mess through their endless greed and betrayal. President Trump is the only President that has been willing to step up and try to correct this.
