@EmJHarris2 @MZHemingway Many Generals do not survive the first contact with the enemy. True leaders know when a leader can't get it done. 2 down, how many more to go?

He would but if he's smart, he'd stay far away from this mess. Doesn't need to be tainted by this crappy WH. It's a no-win situation as AG for Trump. How many has he gone through? Four in two terms (6 yrs so far). That's a lot. Besides, we can see that others cabinet members will be leaving soon as well. Tells you a lot about serving under Trump.

Ron DeSantis would make an excellent AG.

@mercoglianos @RetirementRight I think a hole would be a better description. When things stop coming it will leave a hole the markets need to fill creating a need to fill it, and the one that pays the most is the one that gets the commodity. Inflation issues.

@RetirementRight You do realize that it takes time for ships not to arrive at their destinations. What is happening now is a massive bubble is being inflated in the global supply system.

For about 20 years we were told Hormuz straight closure was the apocalyptic scenario. Closure would lead to food and gas shortages, etc. The worst case scenario played out and it was worth about -9% on the S&P LMAO

@VApoliticalmeme @DeLoisRae Yea and don't forget you most likely get an extra charge for having a fuel efficient vehicle from the state. At least that is with my Sprinter.

@DeLoisRae Sound on

$5.59 for gas in Albemarle County, VA.

@mhp_guy Heal up quick. Thanks for the positivity to start our days, You rock!

What a morning. I got up before dawn to mow the lawn. While mowing I saw a frisbee, so I twisted around and bent over my armrest way too much and heard a pop and felt intense pain. My ribs have been sore ever since. An hour later I’m trimming trees and a dude drives by and yells “Hey Chris!! I’m listening to your podcast RIGHT NOW!!” (Today’s ep is a banger btw) Freaking made my day.

The Senate has voted to fund DHS *except for* ICE and Border Patrol. This happened after a Trump threat, but how is it not a big Democratic win? In the past, the party that attached conditions to re-opening the government, or parts of the government, lost the shutdown. Now, Democrats have gotten away with attaching conditions to re-opening the government, and Republicans have agreed to a deal funding most of DHS, but not its immigration enforcement and deportation operations. What was the big Republican mistake here? Negotiating. You don't negotiate with people who are shutting down all or part of the government. The proper response to a threatened shutdown is: "Re-open the government, and then we'll talk about your issue. But first the government has to be re-opened." That is always the public's view. Instead, the GOP agreed to start talks. Once that happened, it legitimized the Democratic position of shutting down part of the government, in this case TSA, while demanding changes in immigration enforcement. Instead of seeing Democrats shutting down TSA over an unrelated policy dispute, the public saw two sides negotiating and unable to agree. So they blamed everybody when this was, in fact, a Democratic move to cripple the administration's enforcement of federal immigration law.

@mercoglianos @MarineTraffic Shhh, your lose lips are sinking ghost ships.

Okay, I am confused. What tankers? @MarineTraffic does not show a fleet of tankers passing through the Strait since March 25. JMIC also does not have those numbers in their daily report.

@katefortheppl @factcheckdotorg What you do not state is what a mess the Obama agreement was and it gave no security agreements to the region.

Naw girl. @factcheckdotorg is the shit.

@PolitiBunny But,but, they don't know how to use a computer.

For shits and giggles, I decided to see just how hard it would be to replace my birth certificate, Social Security card, AND my marriage license, since Democrats think women are too stupid to figure it out. Here's how it went: 1. Birth certificate: Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day - total cost, $14. 2. SS Card: Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I 'won't likely be asked for it.' I went ahead and got it - took five business days to arrive - total cost, $0. 3. Marriage License: Went to the 'vital docs' site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days - total cost, $5. It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them. Note: if I had lived where I was born or married, it would have been a day. Tops. Anyone telling you this is too hard or unfair is lying and hiding the real reason they want to stop Voter ID. I know you guys knew that already... lol

@MindOfNaijaLife @edgaralandough Or those who know people who really know the tax code. Watch out for Social media tax guru's selling a system.

@edgaralandough The tax code rewards people who understand it.

One of my favorite loopholes in the US tax code: If a married couple earns more than $246K, they cannot contribute directly to a Roth IRA But, they can instead use their 401k to get $140K into their Roth IRA every single year Here's how the "mega backdoor Roth" works:

@TheBlind_Duck @LenaMiculek @Smith_WessonInc @CBHolsters The only people she has to worry about are the "were are the government and we are here to help" and anti gun karens.

@LenaMiculek @Smith_WessonInc @CBHolsters Now The whole world knows you carry. I definitely support you, but there is an advantage being concealed and no one knowing.

My "why" for carrying came the day I realized I couldn't ask someone else to risk their life to save mine 💪 So this is part of getting ready. Making sure I can protect myself. Making sure I'm honoring the responsibility I've chosen to carry ✨

@PolitiBunny @megynkelly I would like to see her Nielson demographics or other demographics research and see which way these things are heading. Lots of movement in media as investors are buying big media and changing the landscape. Are they preparing for a 26 Wipeout or 28 takeover?

Welp ... @megynkelly and I followed one another for years because I thought she was dynamite, and for whatever reason, she thought my content was something worth reading. That changed when I asked her what was going on, why she had switched gears, especially with Israel. I even joked to keep it light, asking her to blink twice if she needed help. She unfollowed me. lol I, on the other hand, had not unfollowed her because, deep down, as a 'fan' (let's face it, I was a fan), I kept waiting for her to have an epiphany, to remember who she really was and what she really stood for. Shame on me, I guess.

x.com/JamesOKeefeIII… 🚨 HOLY CRAP. James O’Keefe went undercover as a Homeless Man and has ON CAMERA the Homeless Population being paid CASH for Ballots - James O’Keefe’s team posed as homeless on LA’s Skid Row and recorded 28 separate instances of paid petitioners handing out cash ($2–$10 per signature), cigarettes, and marijuana in direct exchange for signing voter registration forms and election petitions — a clear state and federal felony. - Petition circulators openly admitted they are paid per signature and can earn $1,000+ in a single day; one bragged, “$7 a signature, $5 a signature, $10 a signature.” - Homeless individuals were repeatedly told to use fake addresses (“You can just put Pinocchio Lane” / “Oh, you can just fake an address”) and many had zero understanding of what they were signing. - Petitions included radical measures funded by Uber, Delta, United Airlines, and the American Hotel & Lodging Association — such as a 5% “one-time tax on billionaires for healthcare” and overturning LA’s $30 minimum wage for hotel/airline workers. - Taxpayer-funded Weingart Center (CEO previously earned $432,000) employees actively directed homeless residents to the bribe-paying petitioners and coached plausible deniability: “See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea.’” - The activity violates 52 U.S. Code §10307 (federal) and California Election Code §18603 (state); identical crimes led to arrests on Skid Row in 2016 and felony charges in 2019 — yet LAPD officers on scene shrugged it off as “a civil lawsuit.” This is documented proof of widespread election fraud in California!

Just so we are all on the same page... There was never a housing problem. There was an illegal immigration problem. There was never a debt problem. There was a fraud problem. There was never a border problem. There was an enforcement problem. There was never a crime problem. There was a prosecution problem. There was never a homelessness problem. There was a fraudulent NGO problem. There was never a failing school system problem. There was an indoctrination problem. There was never a funding problem. There was a theft problem. There was never a healthcare affordability problem. There was an illegal alien free-load problem. There was never an American dream problem. There was a Democrat problem.

@asymmetricinfo @humantransit Interconnection of self driving vehicles will create more seamless traffic as they will reduce accidents and bottle necks. It will also create a more rigid interface as computers will require known human activity. No jaywalking, no individual patterns of movement.

One thing self-driving cars could do is change the form factor to move larger numbers of people on highly efficient pool routes. You could book your ride to work the night before and be picked up by a bigger Zoox that has optimized deployment to move people who are close together to nearby destinations.

Hypothetical cheap self driving cars can’t replace public transit ability to use space efficiently in dense cities. Technology never changes geometry. What they can do, as an idea, is undermine political support for public transit. For that, they don’t even need to exist.

@IndianaGPA Now try it in 49 knot winds and 30 ft swells.

Rose still would’ve told Jack there wasn't room 🤣🤣 Still pretty awesome!!

@afentanes @RobertGKepes @mitchellvii You have bad info and the Navy had a reason for decommissioning them. navytimes.com/news/your-navy…

@RobertGKepes @mitchellvii Trump decommissioned mine sweepers. What a dumb fuck.

So let's fast forward to 2 months from now. The war in Iran is long over and that terrorist nation is no longer a threat. Hamas and Hezbollah have been wiped out.  Gas prices have fallen below $2 a gallon. Stocks are back to their all-time highs. With the Iranian threat gone in the Middle East investment pours into the area. Rebuilding starts in Gaza. The US economy takes off as all of that newly onshored business starts hiring. And once again Democrats have nothing. I'm feeling pretty good about the midterms. Thoughts? ⬇️

@GarrigleKen @mitchellvii Not if the whole board has a say.

@mitchellvii In May, “Too Late” Fed Chairman finally gets the heave-ho.. interest rates DROP. 💰

@Scaramucci So wait 6 months and see if Iran tests its 1st nuclear bomb. Then hope Israel dosen't just straight up nuke them or they decide to shut the straight and challenge anyone to come take it back. When did you want this war? 47 years has been a long time to wait.

If all of this is true, Trump will have succeeded in altering America’s place in the world.

@MichelleMaxwell @grok explain Virginia bill hb 1207.

💰 Virginia just passed the biggest tax you've never heard of. HB 1207 creates a brand-new payroll tax on every Virginia worker and employer — with no cap on the rate. The math, straight from the government's own numbers: - $963 million in payouts in year one - $2.1 billion by year three - Goes broke before it hits full stride — spending more than it collects by 2030 When it runs out of money, the rate goes up. Nothing in this bill stops that. And you won't even know what the tax rate is until October 2027 — after the next election. #Affordability No cap. No ceiling. No limit. Just your paycheck.
