Redistricting is an affront to democracy whether done by Republicans or Democrats. It should be illegal.
Geiger Capital@Geiger_Capital
This is insane… The Virginia redistricting amendment on the ballot today is framed as a vote to "restore fairness in the upcoming elections." In reality, it turns a state that Kamala barely won by 5 pts from 6D-5R to 10D-1R.

@Geiger_Capital The US desperately needs to adopt a proportional representation system.

@AdamKinzinger Gerrymandering is wrong, regardless of which party is doing it.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.
Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.
Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

I think STRC may be the BEST financial product in the world
It offers an 11.5% (variable) yield that's tax deferred
It has extremely low volatility (it might move between $99 and $100 every month, but the dividend more than covers this)
You don't have to deal with tenants, lawyers, lenders, maintenance, repairs, etc.

@VigilantFox I don’t believe this is accurate per California Penal Code §§ 211/212.5 and the Los Angeles County Superior Court Felony Bail Schedule. @Grok please weigh in.

Joe Rogan’s guest running for mayor of LA reveals what SWAT officers told him off the record:
They said: There is “NOTHING we can do” about home invasions because “these people all know they’re getting out in 2 WEEKS.”
Pratt asked: “Isn’t that a felony?”
The officers replied: “Nope, you can go break into a house with a gun while people are there. Families. rob them, tie them up and get out [in 2 weeks].”
And if you’re the homeowner and decide to stand your ground, “you’ll get prosecuted.”
Pratt “personally advised” that if you live in LA and people with guns break into your home, you should “lock yourself in a closet and have your firearm and have a strong point.”
Watch how Rogan reacts to that…
Even Democrats are starting to realize how “insane” this is.
Things have gotten so bad that even LA liberals are now questioning whether Democrat policies are doing more good than harm.
Spencer Pratt currently has a 24% chance of becoming the next mayor of LA, according to Polymarket.

There are now more anti-White and anti-Asian laws in South Africa than anti-Black laws under Apartheid.
Racism is wrong no matter who it is against.

Non-residents who spend millions of dollars on NYC apartments help drive NYC’s economy. Most of the profit in condominium development is in the penthouses. The Ken Griffins of the world make NYC high end development viable, driving high-paying construction, brokerage, legal, marketing, and other jobs in NYC. We should be applauding Ken for spending $238 million in NYC, not attacking him for doing so.
Importantly, non-resident owners of NYC apartments who leave their apartments vacant for much of the year are not a burden to NYC schools, services, or other resources while they drive growth in retail sales, restaurants, theater, and other important drivers of our economy. They also often support NYC non-profits with donations.
Ken’s company is a major employer in NYC of very high paying jobs which drive a considerable amount of our tax base. We wouldn’t want him to move even more employees to Miami.
These non-resident owners also already pay a lot of taxes including mansion taxes, real estate taxes, sales taxes and more.
While @NYCMayor Mamdani likes the tag line ‘Tax the rich.’ Unfortunately, his policies will harm the constituencies he is supposedly trying to help.
I can’t imagine the NYC construction unions are excited about his plan.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

I’m going to propose that you develop an uncanny ability to be selectively ignorant. Ignorance may be bliss, but it is also practical. It is imperative that you learn to ignore or redirect all information and interruptions that are irrelevant, unimportant, or unactionable. Most are all three.
Lifestyle design is based on massive action—output. Increased output necessitates decreased input.
Most information is time-consuming, negative, irrelevant to your goals, and outside of your influence.

@FrankLuntz @ggreenwald @pewresearch Hard not to have a negative view of a nation whose government consistently kills civilians and destroys communities en masse.
