Tom Basile 🇺🇸

1. This is a lie 2. Read the damn bill 3. The text beginning on page 12, line 22 makes abundantly clear that what you’re saying isn’t true 4. Why can’t Senate Democrats argue against this bill without lying?

In America

All-in according to Bryson, the controversial PBM legislation could cost Tennessee $53 million, though some believe it could actually be much higher. @GovBillLee should veto if passed. tennesseestar.com/policy/pbm-bil…

🚨 Victor Davis Hanson: THE SIGNALS ARE ALL POINTING THE SAME DIRECTION No U.S. analyst knows better how to cut through the fog of war than Stanford University Prof. @VDHanson. In the clip below, Hanson, who’s studied how wars end for 50 years, says the tide has turned in America’s favor against Iran. Forget the rancid propaganda flowing from all quarters related to the Iran conflict and how it is going - Hanson says look at how everyone else is behaving. Hanson’s Key Points: • Europeans: They never touch a conflict until they smell victory. Early on? Crickets. Now they’re quietly moving assets and offering support. Pure calculation — they’ve read the battlefield and decided which side wins. • Gulf petro-states: Saudis, Emiratis, Qataris survive by reading the room perfectly. They’re expelling Iranian attachés, silently intercepting Iranian missiles over their capitals, and the UAE just reaffirmed its $1.4 trillion investment commitment to the U.S. mid-war. These are not gestures — they’re bets. And they’re all-in on America. • Al Jazeera: The Qatari state network that usually bashes U.S. actions (and hosts Hamas offices) is now calling America’s bombing campaign “brilliant” and “underestimated.” When the outlet that hosts both the biggest U.S. air base and Hamas praises U.S. effectiveness, the message is unmistakable: they think we’re winning. • Military reality: A-10 Warthogs and Apache gunships are now flying strike missions inside Iranian airspace at will. These slow, low-flying platforms only appear when enemy air defenses are effectively gone. Confirms what’s really happening on the ground. Iran’s only play left is rope-a-dope: drag it out, hope U.S. public opinion flips, pray midterms pressure Trump to quit. VDH’s verdict: If Trump sees it through — and he will — the regime falls. Not in years. Pretty soon. Bottom line: Watch what people do, not what they say. Every player with skin in the game is betting on America. The signals don’t lie. #Iran #Europe #Warthogs #Trump @AlJazeera

When Charlie Kirk was murdered, those of us on the conservative side rightly chastised those of our political adversaries who cheered and celebrated his death. We accused them--again rightly--of shameful callousness and of polluting public discourse and coarsening social life. What President Trump does here merits the same chastisement, for the same reasons.

"Shows no sign of backing down"? They're being hit at will, and have been for 21 days. They're spraying fire and hoping something sticks. They have no war-fighting capacity against the U.S. or Israel. This is bananas logic.

After Sen. Schumer (D-NY) said Democrats don’t object to photo ID, Sen. Husted (R-OH) introduced a bill that would implement a nationwide photo ID requirement to vote, accepting passports, driver’s licenses, or tribal & military ID. Democrats blocked it. foxnews.com/politics/gop-s…

“I’m not going to sacrifice the safety of Americans over this.” — Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall on the legislative gridlock over Department of Homeland Security funding and its impact at home @RogerMarshallMD @Tom_Basile

"The Supreme Court needs to overturn its half-century-old decision...which forces states and their taxpayers to fund the education of illegal immigrants. It's beyond baffling to me that this is still on the books today. We spend $20,000 a kid..from a K-12 education, that's $260,000 [per child] that taxpayers are being forced to fund for the education of an illegal immigrant." -- AFFT Senior Fellow @DeAngelisCorey on @NEWSMAX with @KellyRiddell

Send people to prison.

“The next time somebody says ‘When will it be over?’... you tell them to get a grip and ask them what they would do about the world’s biggest exporter of Islamic terror.” NEWSMAX host @Tom_Basile argues that true victory in Iran requires more than just warfighting — it requires the national resolve to see complex operations through to the end.

Publicly hang this waste of carbon.

New York Governor Hochul admits that New York’s high income tax rates are driving people, talent, youth and jobs out of New York. But she won’t/can’t reduce taxes. The democrat party’s base is made up of competing parasites. If she won’t steal your money for them..they will find someone else.

TN's PBM bill is likely unconstitutional and anti-consumer choice. It’s not pro-jobs or pro-business, increases healthcare costs and would blow a hole in the state budget. It’s the least Republican bill the GOP majority could pass. tennesseestar.com/policy/pbm-bil… @TheTNStar @cvspharmacy @Lower_RxPrices

@TNFreedom21 @TheTNStar @TnCoNews1 You don't have to like PBMs or how they are structured to appreciate that this legislation will create shortages and increase costs. The problem here is the bill. It's likely unconstitutional and even the fiscal analysis shows no benefit for consumers.

@Tom_Basile @TheTNStar @TnCoNews1 This is where I disagree with you Tom. PBM have lost their benefit by inflating costs for consumers, faux discounts and are commonly owned by insurance companies. There once was a time when antitrust was busted apart.

The least Republican or Conservative bill in Tennessee this session. Unconstitutional PBM bill would blow a hole in the State budget and fail Tennessee consumers tennesseestar.com/policy/pbm-bil… @TheTNStar @TnCoNews1 @TNFreedom21

Utterly disgraceful.
