I’m running for attorney general to take on a system where the elite play by a different set of rules. We can put the law on the side of working people.

Chuck Schumer and other Democrats have insisted that they actually support Voter ID—they just object to other parts of the SAVE America Act. Well, @SenJonHusted just asked unanimous consent to pass ONLY the Voter ID portion of the bill. Democrats blocked it.

As a former Democrat voter i bought into the headlines and psyop of hating Donald Trump and then I woke up. I have my own personal story about my awakening and I'll share it soon. Until then, I'll let this video speak for itself!

Ran the US Government through a standard PE due diligence framework and it is genuinely the worst deal I've ever seen But every distressed company has a turnaround plan if management has the spine for it Here's the CIM: Revenue (Tax Receipts): $5.2 trillion Total Expenses: $7.0 trillion EBITDA equivalent (surplus/deficit): ($1.8 trillion) The company is EBITDA-negative We haven't even gotten to the balance sheet yet and this is already a pass But let's keep going Debt Profile: - Total debt outstanding: $38.6 trillion - Blended interest rate: ~3.2% - Annual interest expense: $970 billion (FY2025) - That's the third-largest line item in the budget, behind Social Security and Medicare - Projected to exceed $1 trillion in 2026 - Projected to hit $2.1 trillion by 2036 Leverage: - Debt / Revenue = 7.4x - Debt / GDP = ~100% - Any PE fund that underwrote a 7.4x leverage deal with negative EBITDA would lose their LPs by lunch Debt Service Coverage: - DSCR = Operating Cash Flow / Debt Service - Operating cash flow is negative - DSCR = negative - The company cannot service its own debt from operations - It borrows to pay interest - In credit analysis, this is a going concern flag Cost Structure (the real problem): - Social Security: $1.6 trillion (22.4% of spend) - Medicare: $987 billion (14.1%) - Medicaid: $669 billion (9.6%) - Net Interest: $970 billion (13.9%) - Defense: ~$900 billion (13%) Mandatory spending + interest = $5.07 trillion That's 72% of total spending on autopilot Revenue: $5.2 trillion So after mandatory obligations and interest, there's ~$130 billion left To fund $1.9 trillion in discretionary spending Including the entire military The government is structurally cash-flow negative before Congress votes on a single dollar Growth Trajectory: - Revenue growth: ~6% YoY - Mandatory spending growth: ~7-8% YoY - Interest expense growth: projected fastest-growing category over the next decade - By the end of the decade, interest is projected to rival Medicare as the second-largest line item - By 2036, interest consumes 25 cents of every tax dollar collected Sensitivity: - 50bps rate increase on $38.6T = ~$193 billion additional annual interest - 5% revenue decline (recession) = ~$260 billion hit - Combined = ~$453 billion swing - None of these are unlikely. Both have happened in the last 5 years. Now here's where I put on the operating partner hat Because in PE, we don't just diagnose problems We fix them If this were a portfolio company, here's the turnaround plan: 1. You don't grow your way out of a cost problem Revenue (tax receipts) is at 17.3% of GDP — exactly the 50-year historical average The government doesn't have a revenue problem It collects more than it ever has $5.2 trillion The issue is that spending has decoupled from revenue entirely Spending is 23.1% of GDP vs. a 50-year average of 21.2% Closing that gap to the historical average would save ~$570 billion per year That's not austerity. That's reversion to the mean. 2. Restructure the cost base In PE, when 72% of your cost structure is fixed and growing faster than revenue, you restructure You don't raise prices on your customers and hope the margin problem goes away Every dollar of additional tax revenue that gets absorbed by mandatory spending growth is not a solution It's a delay The private sector learned this decades ago: you cannot tax your way to profitability You operate your way there 3. Let the market work The US Government spends $7 trillion a year and has never once been required to demonstrate ROI on a single dollar No IC. No IRR hurdle. No exit timeline. No accountability. In the private sector, every dollar of capital deployed has to earn its way back plus a return That discipline is why private enterprise creates wealth And why government, by definition, consumes it 4. Stop borrowing to fund operating expenses The US has run a surplus exactly 4 times in the last 50 years The last time was 2001 No PE-backed company in history has survived 24 consecutive years of operating losses Not because the market is cruel Because the market is honest The Conclusion: The US Government doesn't need higher taxes It needs an operating model that any first-year analyst could build: Spend less than you collect The free market enforces this daily Companies that don't are restructured Capital is reallocated to better operators That's not ideology That's math The same math that built the most productive economy in human history Not because a committee planned it But because a market demanded it Plz fix.

Let my analyst sit in on the investment committee call today He asked three times I said no twice He promised complete silence and said he'd hide in the corner He showed up anyway Sat in the corner Legal pad on his knee Third iced coffee in his hand I gave him three rules Do not speak Do not breathe loudly Do not make eye contact with anyone on the screen He nodded The call started Our PE sponsor opened with "walk us through the bridge" I walked them through the bridge The analyst was writing so fast his pen was shaking The operating partner said "what's driving the miss in Q1" I said "timing on two projects that pushed to Q2" The analyst nodded I told him not to do that He mouthed "sorry sir" The MD asked about headcount I said "we're addressing it" The analyst's pen stopped First time all call He looked at me I didn't look back The MD said "how many" I said "enough to close the gap" The pen started again Slower this time The MD asked where we land on adjusted EBITDA after the changes I said the number The pen broke He switched to a backup pen He brought a backup pen I could hear it scratching from across the room He underlined something four times Call ended in 38 minutes He stood up Said "thank you sir" and walked out Accidentally left his notebook on the floor I opened it Page one Three bullet points - People costs bad - EBITDA good - Adjusted EBITDA better That was it 38 minutes of discussion Six executives on the call Summarized in eight words More accurate than most board decks I've read I have four meetings tomorrow morning that aren't on anyone's calendar yet The analyst doesn't know that But he summarized it perfectly This kid might be ready for his second adjective Sent from my iPhone

A tale of two Iranians 1. - A 19 yr old national champion wrestler. Executed today for the crime of marching with 30,000 other murdered young people who just wanted freedom. Canada said nothing. - A Shia cleric of that Islamo-fascist regime. Just given Canadian citizenship. Marching in support of the regime at an al quds parade in Toronto in his first week in Canada. If there’s a way for Canada to be on the wrong side of history, this is it. Thx to @AlinejadMasih for keeping everyone informed. Here’s to a free Iran.

Well it looks like Republican Rep Anthony Hartsook’s ugly temper rears its ugly head again. Hartsook sponsored a bill HB26-1108 that would have given gun owner fingerprint records to the FBI. We had Hartsook on 2A Tuesday and when I asks him directly why he was supporting gun owner registration he lost his temper. He also said that he reached out to every 2A organization for input on this bill, but only the CSSA was willing to work with him. Well I called CSSA, they said they were speaking with Hartsook to ‘make the bill about safety without harming gun owners’. (Im paraphrasing) I reached out to RMGO - Hartsook never contacted them. I reached out to Rally for our Rights/We the Second - Hartsook never reached out. The NSSF is here in Colorado and very active, I am quite certain that Nephi Cole would have gladly spoken with Hartsook. I also asked myself and other gun advocates if they had heard from Hartsook - none of us had. Due to pressure from the community HB26-1108 was killed. I want to make it clear it was not because of one organization- it was because plenty of 2A outlets applied pressure. There is not one single savior of the 2A in Colorado - it takes everyone involved to stay the course and keep fighting. Hartsook is now sponsoring another bill: HB26-1302. This bill DIRECTLY AFFECTS OUR LAWSUIT GARCIA V POLIS. This bill strips the existing statutory requirement that CBI’s InstaCheck Unit must be open at least 12 hours per day, every day of the year (except Christmas and Thanksgiving), and replaces it with a vague standard allowing the CBI Director to set whatever hours “best meet the business needs of the bureau.” Now we see Hot Headed Hartsook lash out against RMGO for doing their job the people of Colorado donate to them to do. I think it’s time Hartsook goes bye bye and we replace him with a pro 2A patriot. Are you in Douglas County, District 44 and willing to challenge this angry man’s seat? For more info on the new bill HB26-1302 check the comments for a full break down on my website.

🚨THROWN OUT🚔 @RepHartsook had me removed by the Seargeant at Arms for asking him about his bill to FREEZE gun sales in Colorado! Rep. Hartsook HATES gun owners asking about his gun control bills!

You want to know the insanity of the Colorado Voting System? OPRAH is registered to vote in Colorado! Anybody ever hear of Oprah having Colorado as her prime residence? “Her registration: Active in San Miguel County since 2016 (unaffiliated), with ballots mailed to her Montecito, CA estate (“Promised Land”) listed as a “temporary” address.” #copolitics #freetinapeters @cologop

I wonder why Oprah Winfrey is registered to vote and an active Colorado voter? You must certify that an address is your "primary residence" (you can only have one) to register to vote in Colorado, yet, her ballot is mailed to Santa Barbara each election. housebeautiful.com/design-inspira…

I filed my 61st and 62nd lawsuits against the Trump admin. 1 - Stopping Sec. Wright from forcing a coal plant in Craig to stay open, making electricity more expensive & less reliable. 2 - Challenging an outrageous claim that climate change doesn’t endanger human health.

Colorado’s budget deficit just grew, partially because revenue is down even more than expected. Far-left policies are chasing businesses, individuals, and revenue out of the state. #copolitics #coleg

Colorado sets the gold standard for election security in the nation. We don't need federal overreach that will only succeed in making it harder for Coloradans and those across the country to register and cast their ballot. The SAVE America Act is a radical piece of legislation that the Senate must reject.
