The last time debt hit these levels, America had just helped win a World War. What's our excuse today? Runaway spending. Bloated budgets. A uniparty that refuses to say no. I've said no. I'll keep saying no. But I need Americans to demand better from their representatives. wsj.com/economy/u-s-de…

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein purportedly wrote a su*cide note before he allegedly killed himself, which is currently under seal by a federal judge. According to the New York Times, the note was found by Epstein's cellmate just weeks *before* he died. Cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione says the note said, 'time to say goodbye,' but it is unclear what else it contained. "The Times has not seen the note and could not find it in the Epstein files. A [DOJ] spokeswoman said the agency had not seen it," the NYT reported. "A cryptic two-page chronology in the records describes how the note became tangled up in Mr. Tartaglione’s messy legal case. The chronology says that Mr. Tartaglione’s lawyers authenticated the note, though it does not explain how," the NYT continued.

Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed supports a "billionaire wealth" tax (i.e. asset confiscation) much like what Elizabeth Warren and Ro Khanna have proposed "Here's the thing. If you tax a billionaire at 8%, you know what? They still are still a billionaire. Their kids' kids' kids' kids' kids are going to be rich. They're gonna be okay." $80 million of assets taken each year will add up to $1 billion of assets taken in 13 years, with nowhere near enough money raised to pay for all the public largesse this guy is promising.

How is importing 49,000 Chinese cars a year, made in Chinese factories, “working with China”? Isn’t that called buying from China — rather than buying from Canada?
