@CynicalPublius I grew up in the next town. Do you know that he lives in Rumson and has a bee farm so he could get property tax breaks? Full on hipocrite

I grew up in Bruce Springsteen's hometown.
His song "My Hometown" is LITERALLY about my hometown.
Springsteen’s music was the anthem of my teenage years.
The town is called Freehold, New Jersey.
A. & M. Karagheusian, Inc. was a giant carpet mill in Freehold that was once the town’s single biggest employer. It shut down and moved away in 1964. That act of taking away a town’s jobs to move them to where labor was vastly cheaper DEVASTATED that community. Freehold became impoverished and almost a ghost town, taking decades to recover.
All of the themes in Bruce’s early work about the indignities heaped upon the working man stem directly from the pain he, his family and his neighbors experienced when that carpet mill moved away to chase cheaper labor costs elsewhere. The theme of the betrayed working man streams across all of his early albums with a heartfelt sincerity that was borne of painful experience. The albums “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “The River,” and “Nebraska” in particular resonate with the mournful howls of the betrayed laborer whose calloused hands meant nothing to the bosses who had thanklessly reaped the rewards of his pain and sweat.
Early on, Bruce really and truly did speak for the working man.
But somewhere in Hollywood he lost his way.
Now, it’s 2026 and the singular domestic agenda of President Donald J. Trump is to bring back American manufacturing jobs from offshore and to restore the dignity, pride and wealth of the working everyman.
And Bruce SPITS ON THAT to appeal to his Hollywood cronies.
When you understand this background about Bruce, his behavior comes into sharp focus as perhaps the very most disgusting behavior of any pop star alive in America today. He has betrayed the everyman he once championed.
SHAME ON YOU BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN.
The young man who once wrote these lyrics would find you disgusting:
"Early in the morning, factory whistle blows
Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes
Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light
It's the working, the working, just the working life
Through the mansions of fear, through the mansions of pain
I see my daddy walking through them factory gates in the rain
Factory takes his hearing, factory gives him life
The working, the working, just the working life
End of the day, factory whistle cries
Men walk through these gates with death in their eyes
And you just better believe, boy, somebody's gonna get hurt tonight
It's the working, the working, just the working life
'Cause it's the working, the working, just the working life"

Remember, John Brennan says he believes the Iranians, not the Americans.

@LeaderJohnThune Dude. You have no leverage. Just nuke the filibuster or move the f on

@LeaderJohnThune Nuke the Filibuster. You are letting Chuck push you around. Who the fuck has the majority? Act like it.

I just spoke with someone who lives in the Florida Senate district that we lost last night. He didn't even realize that there was an election. Bang up job, @FloridaGOP Ever hear of "Get out the vote"?

California needs a Republican governor badly!
Harry Sisson@harryjsisson
Some of these Democrats in the California governor’s race need to drop out. This is getting absurd. We cannot have a Republican leading the great state of California.
English

@RepLuna Not the Dems fault. It's the Rs fault in the Senate. They are not Republicans, but Dems. I am beyond disgusted with the R party. Done. Over. Finished.
English

@EricLDaugh I'm a 60 year old life long R. I have voted since I was 18. I am so disgusted, beyond disgusted with the Republican Party. They are useless.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Majority Leader Steve Scalise just EXPOSED Hakeem Jeffries for the traitor he is
"Sheridan Gorman, beautiful young girl...M*RDERED by an illegal alien...and Hakeem Jeffries, the Democrat leader, can't even say he would have wanted him DEPORTED after he committed MORE CRIMES, AFTER he came here illegally, before he m*rdered her!"
"This is how far the Democrat Party has gone off the rails. They are a party that has lost their way!"
"And millions of people are suffering. It's not just the 100,000 workers at Department of Homeland Security that are working without pay."
"It's the millions of Americans who are having flights canceled, who are showing up at an airport and waiting in a parking garage in a line that's going to be over three hours long. And by the time they finally get through security, they find out that they missed their flight!"
English

@Cernovich We all know that Rs are very bad with getting out the vote on off elections. That is all what this is.
English

@EricLDaugh Republicans do not go out and vote on off elections. They have not get out the vote drives. Stupid

@ChicagoREDP @EricLDaugh You are amazing. We need people like you to speak common sense to the American Public. I don't live in Chicago, but I'm here for whatever support you need.

🚨 JUST IN: Chicago woman ERUPTS on traitor Democrats after student Sheridan Gorman is killed in her city by an illegal alien
"Pritzker does NOT care about the American people. He actually went to Minnesota to put down flowers for Renee Goode, but did NOT go to the lakefront, a lakefront where he filmed an AD to show how safe Chicago is, that's now stained with her BLOOD!"
"He hasn't gone there to drop a rose. We are tired, America!"
"We need HELP. I've been sitting here in this chair for two years, asking the federal government to supersede the policies that are making the American people sitting ducks for criminals, literal criminals who crawl through a hole in the gate and are being subsidized with our tax dollars. How much more can we take? She's not the first woman to be killed by an illegal in this city, in this country!"
"But yet, EVERY TIME we ask for the help and we get the help, we have our local officials here who send out their LIBERAL ARMY to go out and fight against them!"
"And we're asking everybody to now get out the way and let them do their work. Mr. President, we need another Tomahawk helicopter here in the city of Chicago at Leona Park Beach Shelter."
"That's where that man lives. And if there was one gun in there, there are several guns in there."
"They are terrorizing and harassing the American people, and our local officials refuse to do anything about it!"
"So we're asking you, please, President Trump, come save us. Sheridan didn't deserve to die, and we don't want more of American blood to be spilled on the sidewalk by these invaders."

Gonna be really hard to spin this as a victory.

@JohnStrandUSA Agree. I have a good friend - we are on the opposite side of politics. Make a point to never discuss it. She said to me the other day, you know what -- they all suck, left, right and center. We finally agreed on something.

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire.
It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane
It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs.
Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ?
Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us.
Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

@erichhartmann @mcuban Had this argument with a very liberal cousin this weekend. His solution - national healthcare bc it works perfectly in every country who has it! 😏. But this is coming from the same person who told me I was racist bc I thought NIL was ruining college sports.
English

@mcuban Obamacare ruined US healthcare.
It wasn't perfect before, but it was absolutely better and more affordable before.

I am becoming more and more convinced that we have MASSIVELY underestimated the number of illegal aliens in the USA.
50 million? 100 million?

@Shawn_Farash You are the problem don't you see for talking about this and politicizing it according to fat man Pritzker

This Sheridan Gorman story is infuriating.
Sheridan Gorman, an 18 year old Loyola student, was shot in the back and KILLED by a Venezuelan Illegal alien in Chicago.
The illegal alien murderer was released into the country by CBP in May of 2023 under Joe Biden.
Don't let the Democrats and the MSM bury this story.
Her life matters.
