When Markwayne Mullin was 20 his dad's health took a turn. He dropped out of college to run the family business. He built it from 6 people into a multimillion dollar HVAC company with 150+ employees.
He's a pillar of his community, and @jimmykimmel can't even tell a funny joke.

Jimmy Kimmel: "Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was plumber. That's right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now." The elitism of Hollywood summarized in one moment. 👇

This is a lie. A blatant lie. Not to mention a complete reversal of your campaign promises.
This unconstitutional power grab will permanently rig Virginia’s Congressional maps and disenfranchise millions of Virginians.
Virginia, VOTE NO.

Virginia’s redistricting referendum gives voters the power to respond. To a President who says he’s “entitled” to more GOP seats in Congress before Americans vote in the midterms. To efforts in other states to give those seats to him. Join me in voting YES by April 21.

This is the most amazing encapsulation of Code Pink leftism that I've ever seen.
Going to an oppressed nation, showing solidarity with the oppressors, going around taking photos of poverty from tour buses, & then having a big party that takes down the electric grid. Perfection.

Did CodePinks humanitarian festival cause a blackout in Havana, Cuba?

I hate having a president who celebrates when people die. Basic respect and human decency are still worth caring about, even if a large number of people have decided that’s lame and old-fashioned. I hope we recover that before long.

I think we need to acknowledge that if we are spending $81k per homeless person who is sleeping on the street, our approach has failed and everyone involved in the status quo should be ashamed.
Mike Bird@Birdyword
Absolutely astounding figures from the NY state comptroller: spending on services for the NYC street homeless population ran to $81,705 per person last year, up from $28,428 pp 6yrs ago. Figures do not include all kinds of other spending, supportive housing, policing costs etc.

@thinkingwest "It is a good rule, after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between. If that is too much for you, you should at least read one old one to every three new ones." -C.S. Lewis, reasonabletheology.org/cs-lewis-on-re…

3 Reasons to stop reading new books and choose old ones instead:
1). Survivorship bias - Bad books don't stay in circulation long, but good books are remembered. We're left with mostly the best books after a few centuries.
2). Ancient authors probably lived vastly more interesting lives than your average modern writer who gets their takes from the internet (see article below).
3). By reading books from many different time periods, you'll identify the commonalities between them. Thus you'll get a good understanding of patterns across history and human nature.

I am normally not one to wantonly throw around phrases like “enemies of civilization” but that is genuinely how I feel about people who inherit the copyright to a dead author’s work and take it upon themselves to “update” and replace the original

@ZephonSacriel Indeed they are. This is no joke, no clickbait. It is real. And often, the same people who say “Read banned books!” champion this. lithub.com/why-i-decided-…

My personal belief is that the President, his team, and the Israelis know far better than the press what is going on, and the press is so relentlessly, ruthlessly hostile to the Trump Administration that they're more likely to believe Iranian propaganda than that this is actually going well.
As I noted yesterday, the ordinance dropped is on pace to mirror Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom with a combined strike of about 1000 targets a day from the Israelis and Americans. That's pretty consistent.
The fact that the national press is barely even covering Homeland Security being shut down by Democrats in a time of war is just another data point.
If Obama were bombing Syria while the GOP had Homeland Security shut down, the GOP obstruction would be the primary story every day in the press.
But because it is Trump, the press is elevating the doubters, the haters, and the propagandists.
The press has a real bias in this.

Anyone else fear that the Commander in Chief isn’t getting the full picture of the war’s impact out of fear by those around him of telling him something he doesn’t want to hear?

Russia is providing intelligence to kill American soldiers. Ukraine is providing solutions to take out the Iranian/Russian drones being fired at US military personnel.
Just in case anyone is still wondering who the enemy is.
