I’m now here:

@RepMikeCollins JD Vance says we need better Windows at school to stop gun violence, and Mike Collins showed videos of himself shooting a garbage can. But it was Mike’s district in GA where 4 people were killed at a recent school shooting.

Gm.

If anyone still denies that there is such a thing as global warming, explain this.

Happy to announce I have been added to the cruise, I will be playing with Linda Gail Lewis! www.undergroundgaragecruise

@StephenKing I remember the time tunnel!

@MiaFarrow 😮

@StevieVanZandt He’s decided to pass the torch. Kamala was my senator. I wrote to her in 2017 with my concerns about the divisive rhetoric of the Trump administration. She wrote back to me right away. She is for the people. She listens, and she is fearless.

It’s time if and when Joe says it’s time. This is not a close call.

@CrazeyJaney @StevieVanZandt What has Nato provided??? Are you serious. Without NATO Russia will not stop at Ukraine.

@StevieVanZandt what has nato provided steve? all of a sudden mr left wing and peacenik is all about military alliances.

Oh it’s a lot worse than that. One of them is going to pull us out of NATO. Just in case you thought you had problems now.

@StevieVanZandt When Kamala was a Senator in CA, I wrote to her with my concerns about things like outsourcing of jobs, affordable healthcare and to my surprise, she personally wrote back quickly. She really listens to her constituents and works in our best interests.

Yes she’s all about law and order and that is exactly what the Democrats need.

@CWNewser @MSNBC It’s clearly insane. How could an abortion be done after birth?. 😳🤣

OUT NOW!!!!

@MiaFarrow @DavidRhysLewis9 My Dad died at 57. When I was just 22. After WWII, he worked for FDNY for close to 30 years.

@MiaFarrow My Dad was in the USAF. He fought in the Pacific Theatre in WWII. I know how you feel. ❤️

@DavidSacks All of your points are BS. You are backing a convicted felon. 13 members of his inner circle are also convicted felons. This is not Law and Order.

Why I’m Backing President Trump As many press accounts have reported, I’m hosting a fundraising event for President Donald J. Trump at my home in San Francisco this evening. Over the last couple of years, I have hosted events for presidential candidates Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as several Congressional figures in both major parties. I give to many, but endorse few. But today I am giving my endorsement to our 45th President, Donald J. Trump, to be our 47th President. My reasons rest on four main issues that I think are vital to American prosperity, security, and stability – issues where the Biden administration has veered badly off course and where I believe President Trump can lead us back. 1. The Economy President Biden took over an economy that was already recovering strongly from the Covid-induced shock of Q2 2020. Demand had roared back, and employment had recovered. But he chose to keep priming the pump with unnecessary Covid stimulus – almost $2 trillion of it, passed on a straight party-line vote in March of 2021, with trillions more to follow for “infrastructure,” green energy, and “inflation reduction.” Biden did this despite early warnings from former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers that it could lead to inflation. When the inflation came, the Biden administration dismissed it as “transitory.” In fact, inflation still remains persistently high even after the fastest interest-rate tightening cycle in memory. As a result of Biden’s inflation, average Americans have lost roughly a fifth of their purchasing power over the last few years. Moreover, any American who needs a mortgage, car loan, or credit card debt faces much higher interest costs, which further constrain their purchasing power. It’s no different for our federal government, which now must devote over a trillion dollars annually to interest on its $34 trillion debt, a massive sum that’s been growing by a trillion dollars every hundred days. This trajectory is unsustainable, yet Biden’s 2025 budget calls for even higher spending. Growth has already slowed from 3.4 percent in the last quarter of 2023 to an anemic 1.3 percent in the first quarter of this year. We can’t afford another four years of Bidenomics. 2. Foreign Policy / Ukraine War President Trump left office with ISIS defeated, the Abraham Accords signed, and no new wars raging on the global stage. Three and a half years later, the world is on fire. President Biden has made several strategic choices that have contributed to this situation. In his first year in office, Biden unnecessarily alienated the Saudis before realizing that they are an indispensable partner in the Middle East. He also presided over a chaotic withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan (right policy, abysmal execution). But his biggest blunder by far has been in Ukraine. His administration immediately began pushing for Ukraine’s admission to NATO, despite no unanimity among the existing NATO members that such a move was a good idea. When this predictably antagonized the Russians, the Biden administration doubled down at every turn, insisting that “NATO’s door is open, and will remain open” with respect to Ukraine. Biden himself baited Russia when he said he didn’t “accept anybody’s red lines.” After the invasion, there was still a chance to stop the war in its early weeks before much loss of life and destruction had occurred. Russian and Ukrainian negotiators had signed a draft agreement in Istanbul that would have seen Russia retreat to its pre-invasion borders in exchange for Ukrainian neutrality. But the Biden administration rejected that deal as well as General Milley’s advice to seek a diplomatic solution in November 2022. As the war of attrition grinds on, the Ukrainians face ever-mounting casualties and infrastructure damage. Still, President Biden keeps allowing the conflict to escalate and risk World War III. Every escalation that Biden initially resisted – Abrams tanks, F-16’s, ATACMs, allowing Ukraine to hit targets in Russia – he has eventually acquiesced to. There is just one more escalation to go: NATO troops on the ground fighting Russia directly. And our European allies like Emmanuel Macron are already spoiling for exactly this scenario. With Biden, our choices are limited to fighting the proxy war to the last Ukrainian, or fighting Russia ourselves. President Trump has said he wants the dying in Ukraine to stop, and that he will seek to end the war through a negotiated settlement. Ukraine will no longer be able to get the deal we talked them out of in April 2022, but we can still save Ukraine as an independent nation and avert world war. 3. The Border As an immigrant to the United States myself, I certainly believe in America’s history of strengthening its ranks by welcoming talented people from other nations seeking freedom and opportunity. But that promise requires an orderly process of legal immigration that emphasizes skills and the principles of American citizenship. This was the preferred policy under President Trump. What Biden ushered in was a de facto open border policy. On his first day in office, he repealed President Trump’s executive orders restricting illegal immigration and stopped construction of a border wall, selling off parts of it for scrap metal. This quickly resulted in a massive spike in illegal border crossings and a chaotic and dangerous situation on our southern border. President Biden (along with the hapless Kamala Harris and the malevolent Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas) responded to growing concerns by gaslighting the American public, saying there was no problem at the border despite constant videos of masses of people sprinting across it. When the situation became too dire to ignore or deny, Biden claimed he didn’t have the executive authority to do anything about it and blamed Republicans for not sending him legislation. But this week, facing abysmal polling numbers on this issue, Biden suddenly discovered he has executive authority after all. The order he signed is a tepid, too little-too late effort to slow the tidal wave of illegal immigration in time for the election. But Biden has shown he is not serious on this issue. If he wins a second term, the open border policy will resume, and tens of millions more illegals will stream across the border. 4. Lawfare A bedrock of the political stability we’ve enjoyed in America over the last 250 years is that we don’t accept attempts to jail political opponents in order to win an election. Yet Biden has pushed for selective and unprecedented prosecutions of his once and future opponent from the moment he assumed office. Merrick Garland took a long look at the January 6 situation and didn’t see a path to prosecute Trump, even after a one-sided Congressional committee sent a highly-prejudiced referral to his Justice Department. Press stories then appeared describing Biden’s frustration with Garland’s reticence. The result was Jack Smith at the federal level and Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis at the state level. All have pursued cases based on novel legal theories heretofore unseen and designed to get Trump. In the NY case, Bragg resurrected a dead book-keeping misdemeanor into 34 felonies by claiming it was in the service of a second crime that he never defined and that the judge never insisted the jury unanimously agree on. My immigration to this country as a young boy happened because my parents disagreed with the political system of their home country. That government sought to solve its political disagreements by imprisoning its political enemies. What a sad irony that the lawfare we escaped has now reared its ugly head in America of all places. President Biden keeps insisting that a return of President Trump to the White House threatens democracy. But his administration is the one that has colluded with tech platforms to censor the Internet, used the intelligence community to cover up his son Hunter’s laptop, and pursued elective prosecutions against his political opponents. Conclusion: The A/B Test The voters have experienced four years of President Trump and four years of President Biden. In tech, we call this an A/B test. With respect to economic policy, foreign policy, border policy, and legal fairness, Trump performed better. He is the President who deserves a second term.

@Geiger_Capital Because all of those actions you described were done when the GOP was in power. Nixon should not have been pardoned. Aside from Watergate, he prolonged the Vietnam war for his own political aspirations.

The first felony conviction of a former US President wasn’t for the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, illegal CIA coups, drone striking weddings, or spying on Americans… It was because Trump misclassified a $130,000 payment for a porn star’s NDA. Tells you everything you need to know.

@IslandG41370138 @MichaelSteele How many of his associates are also convicted felons? The only people standing up for him must have skeletons in their own closets.

@MichaelSteele You are spot on. How do we convince #MAGA of this fact. They are doubling down; still clinging to a convicted felon.

After the verdict I wanted to wait; to digest this moment; to better appreciate it for what it is, what it isn't, and what it means for all of us going forward. I sorted through the gloating and the threats, the whining and the half-baked assumptions; but most importantly, out of all of that, I found comfort in this truth: No one is above the law--affirmed by 12 citizens. #Humbledbytheruleoflaw

@CameronYow @MichaelSteele As did the rest of the world.

@chilesyucatan @MichaelSteele He needs to be penalized for these crimes, his lack of remorse, and all of the contempt of court violations. These are all factors the judge should consider before sentencing. The man is s danger to society.

@MichaelSteele Okay he's a convicted felon but what exactly does that mean if he doesn't actually suffer any real consequences? He has access to unlimited donor funds, he has secret service protection & could become #POTUS again and then we'll all be the ones suffering consequences!

@BeschlossDC What took so long? When can all the other cases move forward?

What is your reaction to the Trump verdict?

@marcorubio History will not judge you well, “Little Marco.” Biden and liberal New Yorkers had nothing to do with this trial. It was the words of his former business associates that convicted him.

The bad news is today the Biden leftists in New York made a mockery of our criminal justice system The good news is Americans have sent Trump over $50 million since this travesty and his deranged enemies just elected Trump for President again!
