@JohannKurtz I agree with most of this analysis. What’s missing is some blame for why things have changed so much. Super liberal politicians have made most cities uninhabitable via bad policies. We may all yearn for life like it was in 1955 yet that’s called racist and sexist by the left.

@MasterofFun969 @GOP__Ls That law would have stopped a LOT of Joe Biden’s pardons. Almost all of them, actually…

@GOP__Ls As SOON AS we get a Democrat president again, we MUST pass a law or amendment that will strip the President of the ability to pardon anyone in or from his administration, both political parties and their donors, his family, and those who committed crimes in his name!

🚨 Trump donor Adam Kidan went to prison after stealing tens of millions from investors. Trump just pardoned him, allowing him to keep $21.7 million in stolen funds.

@glcst @Cernovich How is it enforced? What if you just refuse to pay? How do they squeeze it out of you?

I paid the Canadian exit tax last year to come to America. It is not good and extremely punitive. I had to sell all my liquid assets to pay the taxes on unsellable illiquid assets. There is no good way to defer this in practice. If in a liquidity event they sell for less than the FMV I paid taxes on, I get none of it back. I crossed the border with $0 and I am one of the lucky ones: some are just unable to leave as their tax bill would be higher than their ability to pay. I did not give up my Canadian citizenship and the tax would accrue even if I was leaving temporarily for some years.

@vesperdigital @GadSaad @grok If you give up Canadian citizenship, how can their laws follow you if you're no longer a Canadian citizen? I suspect this legal argument has already been tried (and probably failed) so my next question is: How do they enforce it? Can a foreign government garnish American wages?

@GadSaad @grok What exactly is Gad referring to? Is there really an exit tax?

Following a very difficult meeting with my accountant, I just found out how much it is going to cost me in terms of an "exit tax" to leave Quebec and Canada. No human being in a free society should have their hard-earned money stolen in this manner. I'm genuinely numb. I'm speechless.

@kangminlee It didn't used to be like this. My father was born in 1939. His parents purposely did NOT teach him Italian so he would assimilate faster. All the men his father's age proudly served in WWII. The 2nd generation in his family was VERY intent on being American!

I think it takes at least three generations for someone to be considered fully American. The first generation remains tied to their homeland in language and culture. The second still carries much of that influence through their immigrant parents. Only by the third generation do those ties loosen enough for genuine assimilation to occur. Assimilation cannot happen overnight. A nation is not a blank legal territory where anyone can instantly belong. America should remain distinctly American, and that requires time, generations, and the expectation that newcomers adopt its culture rather than remake it.

@normanbuntzhsb @jayplemons @Timcast @adamcarolla @JimmyKimmelLive @jimmykimmel He doesn't fund or profit from Jimmy Kimmel's show. He's not part of it. He wrote jokes for Jimmy when he hosted the Oscars...which is a one-off thing. But they no longer have any business relationship. They're simply old friends.

@jayplemons @Timcast It’s great that @adamcarolla speaks his mind and does this great rant; but then he confuses people by funding and profiting from a platform for the ATTACKS by producing @JimmyKimmelLive and @jimmykimmel’s asinine SUPPORT for ALL THAT SHIT HE RAILS AGAINST!

Tim Pool reacts to Adam Carolla's epic rant. @Timcast "Absolutely amazing, expletive-filled rant." 😂

@mmjukic Ayn Rand wrote about this a long time ago. Unfortunately her book was fiction.

I mean, it's a good question. Why hasn't human civilization naturally developed into a brutal aristocracy of the highly moral and high-IQ? Why don't we have a global "130 IQ high-trust Anglo" paradise already? What mysterious force obviously overcomes and beats intelligence?

@marchellagetsit @TuckerMax He did not “open fire”. That suggests he was shooting indiscriminately into a crowd. (Which is not even close to what happened.)

@TuckerMax That's about as neutral a headline you can get. How does this frustrate you?

Most all history you learn is the same level of craven and intentional propaganda as this headline. We happen to be in a window where this is very clear to at least some of us.

@RepLuna I’m a fan of yours @RepLuna but this is a bad take. The soldier is wrong AND politicians who trade on inside info are wrong. It’s not an either/or scenario.

Maybe not a popular take but I am calling for this guy to be pardoned. Unless the DOJ plans on going after all the crooks in congress currently insider trading, this is simply skewed justice. There is no “justice” when guys like this get the book thrown at him yet members are illegally profiting every day. I don’t agree with what he did and he should be required to disgorge all the profits however, unless the DOJ plans on doing Congress next, this is not justice.

@GregLamb1066 @KeenanPeachy Both are wrong. One isn’t “more wrong” than the other. Soldier potentially put his team in danger. And politicians who trade on inside info are also wrong.

@KeenanPeachy I posted exactly this on Daily Wire. Ro Khanna can beat the S&P by over 110% and no one bats on eye. This guy, while what he did was wrong, is a drop in the fraud ocean. Justice comes down hard on the little man, but never a politician stealing 10's of millions. I'm sick of it.

He did nothing that the billionaires in DC with inside info are not doing making millions trading oil futures. This man is a hero. He doesn't deserve a little bonus for risking his life?

@libsoftiktok CT actually requires ID to vote. Rare in a blue state. But accuracy is important.

Democrats in Connecticut just passed a law requiring ID to recyle more than 1,000 bottles in one day So ID to recyle empty cans but no ID to vote in elections Make it make sense

@WallStreetApes @WallStreetMav We couldn’t sell any bonds if they didn’t pay interest. Who would buy them?

@WallStreetMav We should not be paying interest on money we print ourselves. It’s insanity

How out of control is our govt spending? Individual income taxes + corp income taxes will be about $3 trillion in 2026. We will spend $1.3 trillion in interest payments on the $39 trillion national debt. 43% of all income taxes ... goes to interest payments on the debt. The other big pieces of the govt revenue is collecting social security taxes, which just pass through to social security recipients. Within the next few years we will reach the point where interest on the national debt is consuming 50% of all individual and corporate income taxes collected. And our annual budget deficits at $2 trillion to $3 trillion per year and making the problem worse. If the debt grows faster than the US economy, then eventually the interest payments consume all of the tax revenue. We are entering a debt doom loop, where we have to borrow more and more just to pay for government to function.

@MattWalshBlog Flying used to be luxurious because it was literally a luxury. (Regular people couldn't afford it.) You can still get that experience now if you fly private. (No lines, no crowds, plush surroundings...) But can you afford it?

Flight delayed on tarmac. Missed our connection. Based on the other flights available, which were also delayed, and the fact that taking a flight tomorrow would require getting back into a security line stretching seemingly for miles, we decided to get a car and drive five hours to our destination. That’s how bad air travel is right now. Driving is faster. Air travel is awful in this country. People don’t realize just how much it sucks unless they have to do it a lot. It’s not just TSA. Flight delays. Air traffic control issues. Service is even worse than usual. Every airport is crowded and slow and worn down and dirty. Everyone brings their dogs. The term “service animal” doesn’t mean anything anymore. Air travel used to be luxurious. People used to wear suits. Working for an airline was prestigious. The employees took it seriously. It sucks now. It’s terrible. This is the kind of thing our leaders should be fixing. Because the most frustrating thing is that it is so eminently fixable. If only anyone bothered to try.

@stoolpresidente Bobby Van's or Quality Italian

What is currently the best chicken parm in NYC?

@greg_price11 We beat them (twice) in their sport. Let’s see them do it to us in our sport…

The USA and Canada will meet once again. Patriots must be locked in Friday evening.

@BasedMikeLee I have 4 kids. It can be (occasionally) overwhelming but I feel really good about it most of the time.

🇺🇸 U.S. births (CDC preliminary data): January 2025: 303,686 babies January 2026: 289,085 babies That means this January we’re *down* by 14,601 babies—4.8% The numbers are sliding further down This has been happening year after year—for decades America needs to overcome the baby recession This is a critical issue for the future of our country

@Whynot1918 @TimothyJones92 We had a few ex-military in my fraternity and they said it was very similar to boot camp. And I was a varsity athlete in college. We had several rites of passage. Nothing too terrible, but it wasn’t optional. Don’t really care if you don’t believe me. I lived it.

@Whynot1918 @TimothyJones92 Just like the military, they break you down in order to build you up. The shared experience of doing something very difficult bonds you to your brothers forever. Sports teams often have initiation rituals for the same reason. Anyone making negative comments wasn’t a member.

The footage from the Iowa Alpha Delta Phi hazing discovery is WILD. A fire alarm went off, police arrived and discovered pledges in the dirty basement blindfolded and shirtless. The two guys initially talking to police did not help the fraternity's case

@Discover I've had my current cell phone number for 20+ years. I understand your point, but it doesn't apply in this case. (And even if true, if I want a number removed from my profile I should be able to do that. Why force me to keep a non-working number associated with my profile?)

@mike_faro_ Hi Mike, I hear you frustrations. If there is a phone number that was related to your account in the past, it may be used as an option to verify identity since fraudsters attempt to use newly changed phone numbers and email addresses. *Tilly

@Discover I just spent 32 min on the phone trying to remove an old phone number from my profile. No one can help. “We’re aware of the issue” is all I got. Pathetic customer service! Do better!! @CapitalOne

@Discover @CapitalOne I really need help with this. It's maddening that this issue cannot be resolved. @Discover

@mike_faro_ @CapitalOne Hi there! We are saddened to hear you were not able to get the assistance you need. I will certainly forward you concerns! *Christine
