A short read to go with your second cup of coffee. My thoughts on what’s going on and what’s next. politico.com/news/magazine/…

If MAGA keeps attacking Thomas Massie this will happen:

@HasanKhxnx I am not suicidal. I eat healthy food. The brakes on my car and truck are in good shape. I practice good trigger discipline and never point a gun at anyone, including myself. There are no deep pools of water on my farm and I’m a pretty good swimmer.

He's right. Even if you don't like him, he's right.

.@RepThomasMassie nailing it. This man impresses me more and more 2.11.26

@JoeCarlasare Congratulations Joe.

Nothing quite compares to winning summary judgment against an arrogant team of lawyers who think Am Law Top 10 letterhead and $1,500/hr rate entitle them to victory. Pride, as always, goeth before the fall. ✌️ Happy Friday!

Thomas Massie shouldn’t just win his next election (that Israeli billionaires are spending oceans of money to stop) He should be president.

If your representative, Democrat or Republican, is still silent about the Epstein files, or claiming it’s “much ado about nothing,” it’s time to elect a new one. Check their public statements today.

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared." Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

While you are being gas lit by the Political Industrial Complex, all over social media and the news telling you what you are supposed to be outraged about, think about this. Republicans funded the Refugee Program by nearly $6 billion of your tax payer dollars in the DHS appropriations bill even though you have been losing your mind about paying for refugee funding while you discovered all the Somalia fraud. And the DHS appropriations bill funds all of Homeland Security including ICE. Now you have watched a shooting video probably over 30 times trying to figure out what happened, while a near civil war is being fueled in MN. But look past the hype and focus in on the granular details. The DHS bill funds both ICE and Refugee Programs. The DHS bill funds doubling H2B visas and deportations at the same time. Do you see how the Uniparty in Washington funds both sides and then gas lights you and drives you to hate each other? It is all manufactured to drive your outrage and that is how they make money. When the American People stop being baited into fighting each other, the American People will defeat the Political Industrial Complex that divides us all and can work to truly put Americans First.

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla Per Grok: if you purchased FSD outright, you will not have to pay extra when unsupervised FSD is released.

Hi @Tesla, can you please clarify whether buying FSD outright for $8k means owners won’t have to pay extra for FSD Unsupervised on that car later? I’ve been getting a lot of DMs from people who are interested in buying FSD for $8k before February 14 but are worried if they will have to pay more on top of the $8k for FSD Unsupervised once it launches. @elonmusk

After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal. What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don’t correct them harshly. Don’t rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment, quietly wrapped as love.

Great question When a bank issues a loan, it does not loan out deposits. It creates new money as a credit entry     You sign a loan agreement & it becomes an asset for the bank     Bank credits your account & the new deposit becomes new money in circulation Banks are credit creators rather than intermediaries Bank-created money is created with interest Because the interest is not created in the money supply, the system requires perpetual growth, constant new debt or defaults This is why the private credit system is inherently inflationary & extractive over time Governments do not create new money to spend directly They instead issue bonds purchased by banks, pension funds, foreign governments, or the central bank This is government borrowing which is printing by selling promises Government-issued money is also interest-bearing, which means it has the same inflationary dynamic as private bank credit creation Tax serve 3 functions in a fiat system 1 Prevent inflation from excess government spending. If governments printed unlimited money, it would raise spending power without increasing production & create inflation. Taxes remove money from circulation, acting as a drain on the system 2 Give the currency value. If the government requires taxes to be paid in its currency, that alone creates demand 3 Redistribute and fund services. Funding services are not the main monetary reason, that’s the political justification. The monetary purpose is inflation control & currency demand Governments spend money into the economy & taxes destroy part of that money to keep the system alive This is the part people misunderstand the most If new money is printed but does not create new goods, new services, new infrastructure or new real output, then you get more money chasing the same amount of goods, which raises prices Examples:     Money printing for bailouts, war spending not tied to productive output, stimulus without corresponding output growth, interest-bearing credit expansion for consumption This type of money requires taxation to remove excess money & prevent inflation If new money is issued to create new productive output, the money supply increases in proportion to real wealth Examples:    Building infrastructure, funding energy projects, paying workers to produce real goods & services or capital investments with measurable output If production rises faster than money supply, no inflation occurs In such cases, taxation is not required to offset the issuance, because real-world value backs the currency expansion After the Weimar hyperinflation & Great Depression, Germany introduced Mefo Bills in 1934     It was a government-created promissory note issued to construction & industrial companies     They were not backed by gold, not borrowed from banks, backed by future labor & productive output & used to fund public work    Money was issued only when workers produced output     Idle labor was turned into productive labor     Factories, infrastructure & goods increased alongside the money supply    The credit carried no compounding interest & money was created only to mobilize productive capacity, not consumption or speculation When money creation matches real productivity, inflation does not occur Germany reduced unemployment from 30% to 0% in a few years without runaway inflation Inflation problems emerged later only when issuance shifted to unproductive military expansion Today’s system is a public–private hybrid Banks create most money via credit, charge interest & expand the money supply Governments issue bonds purchased by banks & central banks, borrow the currency they themselves issue & tax to control inflation created by both government & private banks The government effectively outsourced money creation to private banks & then taxes you to stabilize the system for banks profit They socialize the losses & privatize the gains. It’s a ponzi scheme & you pay taxes to service the interest on banks debt.

Under the rain, they resist with what remains of life inside a tent that blocks neither the cold nor the pain.

If Massie does this, he deserves to be the next President of the USA 🇺🇸. DO IT @RepThomasMassie‼️

Thousands of Gaza families spent all day doing this job including my family

Gaza is drowning. Israel is intentionally torturing millions by delaying the entry of tents and other staples for physical survival. The decomposing bodies, the nonexistent sewage, the lack of housing and health, these are all the conscious perpetration of genocide.

Gaza’s children swallowed by the flood of rainwater, with no tent to shield them from the biting winter cold and no warmth to guard their fragile childhood from a world far too harsh.

This is Gaza now and the world is silent.
