Went out for my morning coffee at Blue Plate Café in Huntsville. ☕️ Quite chilly this morning. I may need to put on a sweatshirt for my walk before I hit the gym. We could use a lil’ more global warming out there!

@ChrisMartzWX Don't you love it when the anti-science crowd comes out of the woodwork demanding to see your religious credentials?

@ChrisMartzWX Gender roles ain't chromosomes, pal. If Steve wants to knit and Mary wants to build furniture they should go for it, but that doesn't mean they need to get castrated to do it.

If gender is a “social construct,” then why do trans people need to get life-altering surgeries to “affirm” it? It doesn’t matter what you identify as, sir, you’re still going to have to get a prostate exam.

@withsomerespect @ChrisMartzWX Gender is a societal construct. Age is grounded in chronological truth.

@ChrisMartzWX Too many people, particularly on the right, are cowards. They're terrified of what other people might think so they resist standing up to the BS. Don't believe me? Look at Covid.

Serious question. Why is it that when people propose tax cuts (or the abolishment of certain taxes altogether), the go-to response by all you NPCs is, “Muh, how will da guberment get enuf revenoo?” That is the wrong question to ask. What you should really be asking is, “Why can’t the government cut spending? Why is the budget this large? Do we really need this service or that bureaucratic function? If so, is there a better way to fund it?” Nobody on the left asks these questions because they love to be generous with other people’s money “for the common good,” which is never defined. And, most people on the right have been conditioned into believing that the status quo is acceptable and that there are no alternatives.

@ChrisMartzWX Don't argue with the Communists, son, they've never had a real job so they don't know how money works.

Yeah, it’s really bad when people have more money in their pockets to save, invest, or spend to boost the economy. It’s much better to let the government tax the shit out of you, and provide everything for you in inefficient, low-quality fashion. You are a good communist.

@ChrisMartzWX This would genuinely make life worse. If citizens have more money in their pockets, companies start charging more. If you privatize most everything, that will only make things even worse.

@ChrisMartzWX Funny how they're allowed to label you but you aren't allowed to use their actual biological gender.

lol No one is afraid of trans people. Just because we don’t like your lifestyle or pander to mental illness does not make us fearful. The suffixes “-phobia” and “-phobic” are misused. Why should we go along with your “identity” when you cannot accept who you biologically are?

Why is it that whenever I advocate for either lowering or abolishing certain taxes (primarily residential property and federal + state income), dipshits (including alleged “conservatives”) immediately reply asking me, “How do weee pay for defense, duh roadz, duh schoolz, duh policeee, duh fyre fighterz, and duh librariez?” This is your lazy go-to response every time. Every time. First, doesn't the gas tax pay for the roads? Or is that a scam, too? Second, we don't need to have any taxpayer-funded libraries. They can be privatized, or alternatively, you can go buy a book off of Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Books-A-Million. They're not that expensive, at least in most cases. Third, public schools have too much administrative staff like most other institutions, so budget cuts could be made there without degrading the quality of education. People who don't have school-aged kids shouldn't pay for them anyways. Either tax the parents while their kids are enrolled, or send them a bill. Fourth, local police and fire departments could all be funded using a state-level sales tax where revenue is evenly distributed. Even down here in Alabama, there is enough revenue in sales taxes to cover those expenses and then some. Most other states could make that work. And federally? Well, the only service that the federal government should provide is our national defense (and by that I mean fighting for our actual freedoms; not fighting wars on behalf of other countries). We can abolish most of the three-letter agencies, including the ATF, DEA, IRS, and CIA. We can abolish USAID. We don't need a Department of Agriculture, we don't need the EPA, Department of Interior, or most other departments in the Presidential cabinet. The federal government should function for minimal, albeit the most essential duties. That is, a President and his staff, Congress, a Supreme Court, Department of Defense, a minimal Department of State, the U.S. Treasury, and an Attorney General. That's about it. A national sales tax and tariffs could pay for that. It did before 1913; it can do so again. Abolish the federal income tax. Abolish all state income taxes. Abolish the capital gains tax. Abolish the inheritance tax. Abolish the estate tax. Abolish the property tax for primary residents. People deserve to have more money in their pockets to spend, save, or invest at their discretion. Period.

@NarniaApologist @ChrisMartzWX I know exactly how Zuck, Gates, EIon and the like made their money- Gates' dad was Rockefeller's right hand man who became the head of Planned Parenthood 😂 The point is- Too Much Money is a Problem - that nobody is talking about

If you support residential property taxes, then you are my enemy. I don’t care if you agree with me on 99% of other things, you are my enemy if you don’t support a one-time consumption-based sales tax at the point of purchase. That is the only tax that is fair. Anything else is theft that is forced at de-facto gunpoint.

@ChrisMartzWX I'd argue that most billionaires have made their money from taxpayer handouts and mafia-esque tactics And BG has proven that too much money is a danger to humanity Not arguing for a tax, but a cap- a maximum wealth so we don't have Dr Evils blocking out the sun, GM mosquitoes..

@rolloqtomasi @ChrisMartzWX We could literally tax just soda and beer and have enough to run most counties. Have you seen what those guys charge you to ride in an ambulance? the services your being taxed for aren't free.

@ChrisMartzWX I’m as anti tax, pro small govt as it gets. You want no property tax, and no sales tax on homes or cars. What taxes at what levels do you support in order to provide basic local govt services (police, fire, roads, parks, maybe a couple other things)?

@Breaking911 @AZ_Intel_ The situation at CBS is spiraling.With the departure of Pelley and other long-time correspondents, 60 Minutes is becoming a shadow of its former self. This isn't just a management change it's a fundamental shift that is alienating the very people who built the show’s credibility

Absolute end of an era at CBS News. Scott Pelley has been the backbone and the moral compass of 60 Minutes for over two decades. Standing up for his colleagues and the integrity of the broadcast on his way out is the definition of going out on your own terms. Massive loss for the network. 🤯📺

@Vinnyk135 @ChrisMartzWX @ChickfilA Ah. I live on the SunCoast, chances are you and I are thinking of the same gator nuggets. Word of Advice: Daquri Deck's aren't as good but they have the virtue of being served with 31 flavors of booze slurpee so you hardly notice.
