@AngelaBelcamino No. He’s vindictive.

2028 question: Would you support Thomas Massie for President? Yes or no — and why?

@NoDMsPerfavore Play by their rules. No one gets it because the life jacket was invented by a member of the oppressive majority race.

BOAT IS SINKING AND THERE'S ONLY 1 LIFE JACKET- WHO ARE YOU SAVING?

@HollyBriden @thedailybeast This account is on fire today!

@thedailybeast Maybe he can take a quick bartending course so he’s ready.

“It might have helped if you’d done something of purpose at some point in your life,” the article says in a direct address to Spencer Pratt. thedailybeast.com/maga-star-cand…

@mcuban Introduce the first legislated rule. All contracts for group health care plans relating to cost of services (and any other type of contract, really) must be transparent and online for public viewing. Second rule, eliminate price charged versus price paid.

Ok. Take government completely out of healthcare. No rules. No laws. No Medicare. No Medicaid. Hospitals, insurance companies, can do anything they want. What do they do ? If you were running any of the biggest insurance companies or hospitals, what would you do differently once gov was completely out of healthcare ?

Acabo de terminar la lectura de Historia de la civilización de Will Durant. Once tomos, más de trece mil páginas. Durant no es de mi palo ideológico, es un historiador liberal en el sentido clásico del término, no tiene agenda ideológica explícita. Y sin embargo, en el tomo sobre Roma, documenta algo que yo hubiera firmado sin cambiarle una coma. En César y Cristo, Durant describe la política económica de Diocleciano, siglo III, con una precisión que corta. Primero el Estado sustituyó el sistema de precios por una economía administrada. Después controló el grano, el aceite, el hierro, la sal. Después dictó precios máximos para todos los bienes y servicios del Imperio, el Edicto de Precios del 301 d.C. Resultado fue qu los bienes desaparecieron del mercado. Lo que no puede venderse a precio libre, no se produce ni se ofrece. El mecanismo es tan simple que da vergüenza tener que explicarlo, y sin embargo dos mil años después los gobiernos siguen aplicando la misma política con la misma cara de sorpresa cuando llegan los mismos resultados. Pero lo más demoledor no es el Edicto. Es lo que vino después. Para evitar que la gente huyera del campo y de las ciudades escapando de los impuestos y las regulaciones, el Estado romano ató literalmente a los campesinos a la tierra. Durant lo llama servidumbre de hecho. El feudalismo medieval, argumenta Durant, tiene su raíz principal en las restricciones que Diocleciano y sus sucesores impusieron para impedir que la gente se fugara. La servidumbre medieval fue la consecuencia lógica del intervencionismo romano. Y para financiar todo esto, los impuestos subieron a niveles que Durant describe como de continuidad ubicua sin precedentes. La burocracia, el ejército, las obras públicas y la dole tenían que financiarse con los ingresos del año en curso porque Roma aún no había descubierto el endeudamiento público para disimular el despilfarro y postergar la rendición de cuentas. Esto es clave y Durant no termina de verlo del todo, el endeudamiento público no resuelve el problema. Los modernos sí lo descubrieron, y por eso la deuda reemplazó al impuesto como mecanismo de extracción, con el plus de que el costo se le carga a generaciones que todavía no pueden votar en contra. Durant lo sintetiza así en el epílogo del tomo: el costo creciente de los ejércitos, las dádivas, las obras públicas, la burocracia en expansión y una corte parasitaria; la depreciación de la moneda; el desaliento de la capacidad productiva y la absorción del capital de inversión por parte de una tributación confiscatoria; todo eso conspiró para socavar las bases materiales de la vida italiana, hasta que el poder de Roma fue un fantasma político que sobrevivía a su propia muerte económica. Un fantasma político que sobrevivía a su propia muerte económica. Durant escribió eso en 1944. Lo que describe es exactamente el orden de operaciones, intervención de precios, fuga de capital, servidumbre regulatoria, debasement monetario, colapso de la estructura productiva. No hay ningún misterio en la caída de Roma y tampoco lo hay en ninguna de las que vinieron después. Aún me falta seguir leyendo mucho sobre la Historia de la civilización de Will Durant, son muchos tomos.

“Los Angeles utility workers are making over $700,000 a YEAR.” Spencer Pratt pulled LADWP payroll records — 100+ employees clearing over $500,000, some topping $700,000. An $11 billion department with the SAME political appointees. This is institutionalized FRAUD.

@jimmyfailla @corgilove2020 That pink jacket though.

Took my mom to California yesterday because she’s 75 and she’s NEVER had fentanyl.

@ingelramdecoucy Upon return simply whine about affordability and vote like a good little commie.

“You quit your job to take a vacation in Sardinia?” Caller: “That’s right, Dave”

Bingo. This is precisely why I have explained that the engineering and business schools are less likely to be parasitized by dreadful ideas because reality serves as an auto-corrective feedback loop.

Read this. Spencer Pratt cites a textbook example of how the Democrat NGO fraud laundromat works from beginning to end. Every Democrat politician involved, including his two rivals in the mayor’s race, should be in prison.

@BenStiller And Thank you President Donald J. Trump!!

@Rainmaker1973 Should only take about 90 years to build one in California.

China unveils a 600 km/h (373 mph) maglev train—now the world’s fastest. It can slash Beijing–Shanghai travel time to just 2.5 hours. Powered by magnetic levitation, it’s ultra-quiet, efficient and emits zero direct pollution.

@SwipeWright Athletes, as an example, commit fouls all the time.

"infoulable"

🚨 This afternoon, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney who supported Jack Smith’s politicized investigation of President Trump has been charged with stealing the confidential investigation documents. Carmen Lineberger allegedly emailed the confidential material to her own personal email, disguising them as dessert recipes to conceal them from record searches. Lineberger is charged with four felony counts in the indictment. This FBI will not hesitate to bring to account those who violated the trust of the American public in an investigation that should’ve never been brought to begin with.

This was Chevron’s response to the left’s stickers blaming President Trump. Chevron is letting customers know in California that it’s not Donald Trump causing the insane gas prices in the state, it’s California Democrats. Chevron just added these new signs to their pumps, educating customers, “Sacramento policies did this. Now you pay more.” “California politicians are choosing foreign oil and fuels over local jobs and lower costs.” Companies willing to educate the public and tell the truth. It’s Gavin Newsom and Democrat policies causing a $6.30+ average cost per gallon in California.

@StephenKing Bad reading comprehension.

Woods finally has seen the light. He’s talking about Trump.

@TuckerCarlson It came as a shock when Fox basically fired you. It’s crystal clear they knew something terrible most of didn’t and they did themselves and all of us who watch Fox on occasion a big favor.

The Israel lobby takes out Thomas Massie and kills MAGA in the process. The good news is, we’ve now confirmed how the system works.

Here at the DNC we can’t even be relied on to do basic political party organization stuff like cobble together a usable after action report for one of our most humiliating electoral losses in recent history. Vote for us to run your city, state, and country!

Few have done more to raise the alarm about campus intolerance than Jonathan Haidt. That he was booed by students from his own university, who called for “the safest option,” epitomizes the deep rot created by decades of coddling and left-wing indoctrination.

@RepThomasMassie @TRHLofficial @tedcruz @mtgreenee When you influence a bill to get something you want and vote no anyways, no one’s going to pay attention to you anymore. Bye.

@tedcruz I proudly stood in the way of your AI-data center amendment to the Big Beautiful Bill that would have given those companies immunity from the law. In fact, @mtgreenee and I got it stripped from the bill. Did your big tech cronies still let you cash their checks after you failed?

The people of Kentucky spoke loud and clear last night. They want fighters who will deliver real results, and time and again, Thomas Massie stood in the way.
