Jay Morris

Funny how they never attack my policy ideas. They can only try to assassinate your character. They don’t wanna talk about my debate masterclass a week ago, they wanna talk about a reality show from a lifetime ago. That’s because they want the continued decline of the city. They are locked in an ideological death spiral and can’t shake it. Come at my policies or go sit back down on the back bench. I’m in the arena, son.

The media agrees that the video evidence backs up my assertion that I used no pejorative or profane language at the #lalege hearing last week. The @LaDemos should retract their statements & stop using lies to gin up hate to raise money. Despicable

Milton Friedman on why medical care costs so much in the US: “Most payments for medicine are third-party payments. The insurance company pays. The government pays.” “As a result, everybody is spending everybody else’s money. And nobody spends somebody else’s money as carefully as he spends his own.”

The American Revolution was bankrolled by one man. The richest in America. He died broke in debtor's prison. Robert Morris. In 1781, he raised $1,400,000 on his own personal credit to march George Washington's army to Yorktown. The Continental Congress had no money. The states refused to send any. France had stopped. The final $20,000 came from Haym Salomon, a Polish-Jewish broker who personally underwrote the rest. The richest man in the country put his balance sheet behind the war and ended it. AOC said this week that "the American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time." The math doesn't survive the source documents. Morris signed the Declaration of Independence. He signed the Articles of Confederation. He signed the Constitution. One of only two founders to sign all three. He served as Superintendent of Finance from 1781 to 1784, ran the Continental Navy as Agent of Marine, and chartered the Bank of North America. The financial machinery of the United States was built by the merchant who had spent the prior decade running the largest shipping firm in Philadelphia. John Hancock was the wealthiest man in Boston. George Washington owned 8,000 acres at Mount Vernon. The signers were merchants, planters, and lawyers at the top of colonial society. The complaint was taxation without representation, levied by a Crown an ocean away. The Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts hit merchants hardest. That's why merchants funded the war. Then the math finished Morris off. He owed nearly $3 million by 1798. He sat in Prune Street debtor's prison for three years. George Washington visited him there. Congress passed the Bankruptcy Act of 1800 in part to secure his release. Morris died in 1806 with a five-line obituary in the Philadelphia papers. $1.4 million in personal credit. $3 million in personal debt. The richest man in America bankrupted himself funding the war AOC says was fought against him.

“In order to spend somebody else’s money, you first have to take it away from them. That means that force is at the very bottom of the modern paternal state.” — Milton Friedman

“I am not oppressed, and I am not a victim… racism in America would, by and large, be dead today if it were not for certain people and institutions keeping it on life support.” This guy don’t miss 🔊🔥

It’s a Learing process….

Being a liberal now just means saying the opposite of the truth. Like seriously, that’s all it is.

“The hardest thing in the world is to get rid of any government program, however badly it works.” — Milton Friedman

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815. Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did. Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

@LaDemos Your statement might have some validity if it was true. I didn’t say the things I’m accused of and it’s proven by the audio of the hearing. Try reasoning with actual facts. Lying simply undermines your credibility

A statement from the Louisiana Democratic Party on the words and actions of Senator Jay Morris during Senate proceedings today.

#lalege STATEMENT FROM SENATOR JAY MORRIS REGARDING COMMENTS IN SENATE AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE HEARING TODAY   I want to assure the public that I did not use any profanity or any derogatory or pejorative term in referring to anyone in the audience at today’s Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee at the State Capitol.  Audio obtained by a news organization in the room confirms this.   I was frustrated when, as I was trying to answer questions from committee members, people in the audience directly behind me were continuing to comment and talk loudly enough so that it was hard for me to concentrate and answer questions.  As a result, when my testimony was completed and I stood up, I said “you all need to shut up”, as those seated behind me had ignored admonitions by the Committee Chair.  I never used any profanity or derogatory term, as the news-recorded audio proves.  I did not know who the people sitting behind me were, but I have learned that some have involvement in political parties and should have known better than to falsely accuse me of things to make a political point.  I do appreciate that no matter how much we as senators disagree, or how much I disagree with any testimony or opinions expressed in public hearings, it is important to remember that transparency and public hearings are a critical part of our democracy.  However, the participants should respect decorum and not resort to falsehoods to further a political agenda.

Timothy Cardinal Dolan on Charlie Kirk: “The more I learned about him, I thought this guy is a modern-day Saint Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knew what Jesus meant when he said, ‘The truth will set you free.’”

I beat Strom Thurmond’s son in a majority-white district for a seat in Congress. Then won statewide in South Carolina, a majority white state. South Carolina elects leaders based on ideas, not identity. Stop erasing reality to rig the game.

What’s remarkable is that it was contemporaneous in response to a question. #Rubio4Presidenr
