@v63sfx @kausmickey Why would that bother Latinos eligible to vote? They don't want criminals in their communities, either.

@kausmickey He's prepared to welcome ICE with open arms.

Pratt has 16% vs Bass’ 29% AMONG LATINOS. Is that good news for Bass? Latinos should be a stronghold for her. Lots of room for Pratt growth. …Also the Incumbent Rule.

The California Post is out with my column on the Trojan Horse provision in the California Billionaire Tax. It is one of a number of irresistible "gifts" of other people's money that voters are being offered in the hope that they will not look inside. nypost.com/2026/05/17/opi…

Todd Blanche is absolutely correct. Russiagate wasn’t an exaggerated narrative built on a partial kernel of truth. It was a systematically constructed political and institutional fiction. It was a wholly manufactured framework from beginning to end. Every part of it was invented.

Hilarious.

Some of us on the right were and continue to be critical of Trump because of where he falls short of our principled views and/or policy preferences. It bothers us that Trump isn't concerned about the national debt, that he supports harmful tariff policies, that he abuses pardon powers etc. None of that prevents us from supporting his administration when they do good things that are consistent with our principles. It certainly doesn't prevent us from cheering on border enforcement, encouraging a strong national defense/counter-terrorism strategy, or supporting better tax policies. Other people formerly on the right have made opposing Trump the central principle of their political ideology. They determine all of their policy views based on Trump's current policy preferences. Then there is another group that determines all of its views based exclusively on Israel now. Again, their guiding principle is driven exclusively by opposition/hate. Both of these groups are now increasingly allying themselves with left-wing extremists because their guiding political principle is centered on things that have nothing to do with policy outcomes or what's good for America. Even if they sometimes call themselves "America First". You will notice that we aren't the ones who changed any of our views. We aren't the ones suddenly pretending the threat from Islamic terrorism is overblown, that communism isn't that bad, or that Democrat extremism isn't a problem. We aren't the ones coordinating messaging with the left. We aren't the ones allying ourselves with Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur, Anna Kasparian etc., or making excuses for open bigotry on the left. The mistake that some people have made is to assume that the group doing those things, which is now driven exclusively by hate (whether of Trump, Israel, Jews etc.) is still part of the right's coalition. They certainly aren't reliable elements of it, and there is no need to pander to them. Let them try to get power within their new coalition, while the right should focus on recruiting people who are driven by wanting competence and policy wins, not motivated exclusively by hate.

Here is the Governor of California and Democrats’ 2028 frontrunner saying he has a secret backup plan to change the outcome of an election if his state’s voters pick candidates he doesn’t like. “No Kings,” right Gavin?

@poljunkieLA @Noahpinion Thank you for your non-erudite clueless opinion. It's apparently what this platform was built for.

@Rand_Simberg @Noahpinion You could have chosen not to post at all and the world wouldn't recognize you as the low IQ retard that you are. Anyone calls them self a classical liberal is a certified retard.

Like it or not, FDR was the leader who defined the Twentieth Century. He and his successors saw the fascists defeated, forced the Europeans to relinquish their empires, outlasted the communists, and ushered in the greatest period of global economic and social progress ever.

Creating a preference cascade.

@claude_bone @Noahpinion WW II ended the Depression by ending FDR's endless tinkering with the economy, which was keeping it sick, not spending per se. Go read The Forgotten Man, by Schlaes.

@Rand_Simberg @Noahpinion If WW2 brought the US out of the depression via government spending then government spending should’ve been higher much earlier

@claude_bone @Noahpinion Nonsense. There was no shortage of government spending.

@Rand_Simberg @Noahpinion If they'd only spent 40% of GDP earlier it would've ended sooner

@poljunkieLA @Noahpinion You could have stopped after the first three words and been more accurate.

@Rand_Simberg @Noahpinion I don't think someone who subscribes to an outdated ideology like classical liberalism can say that lmao.

they spy on their opponents. They impeach their opponents. They arrest their opponents. They throw their opponents off the ballot. And now they “shape the future” in case they don’t like an outcome. Who’s the threat to democracy?

@poljunkieLA @Noahpinion Wow. Your ignorance of both economics and history knows no bounds.

@Rand_Simberg @Noahpinion Yeah it didn't end because conservatives didn't wanna spend what it needed until the war 🙄

Bass has became a punch line. #TweakersForBass 😂

@poljunkieLA @Noahpinion It didn't end until the war, when FDR became too busy to continue to capriciously fuck with the economy (like arbitrarily deciding what the price of gold should be every morning, or throwing tailors in jail for charging the wrong amount for their work).

@Rand_Simberg @Noahpinion The depression hit its peak right before FDR was sworn in lol

@poljunkieLA @Noahpinion Hoover created the depression. FDR made it Great. You historical ignoramus.

@Rand_Simberg @Noahpinion The Republicans were responsible for the great depression you nut job.

@PoliPlatypus @ChristoRixman @EliLake And people like you are what is known as soulless.

@Rand_Simberg @ChristoRixman @EliLake People like you are why boomers are known to be cunts.

Amazing how “never again” somehow became: “Sorry/not sorry your population was expelled.” Imagine saying this about literally any other mass displacement of civilians in modern history and expecting applause instead of horror. The real tell is that some people have become so emotionally invested in defending state power that they now openly mock refugees and survivors as a political flex.

We’ve now hit the “we need to abolish a constitutional branch of government because we didn’t like their decision” stage of saving democracy

Karen Bass is asked what she wants to finish in a second term. Her first response is to say there is huge problem with criminals stealing copper wire, that puts out city street lights. Solution? Finish installing tens of thousands of new taxpayer-funded solar street lights.
