Time in Federal Government… Alexander Hamilton: 5 years George Washington: 8 years Thomas Jefferson: 10 years John Adams: 12 years Bernie Sanders: 35 years Nancy Pelosi: 39 years Mitch McConnell: 41 years Chuck Schumer: 45 years It explains everything. Founders vs Grifters

This myth just won't die. In 2024 alone, it's estimated Jeff Bezos paid almost $3 billion in taxes. Painting rich people as tax avoiders plays great on social media, but it's not reality. The U.S. has the most progressive tax system in the developed world.

@CAgovernor Just gonna put this here.

Still got it!!!! Let’s go @RotoRooter and @JRMotorsports

Excited to have @ConnorZilisch and @RotoRooter back onboard the 1 ride this weekend @ItsBristolBaby .. 🗡️🗡️

No TSA line tracker on CNN. No more posts about lines online. They only existed as it "hurt" Trump and Republicans. These things are discussed if they hurt Trump and Republicans. That's just how the media works.

Dan Orlovsky literally said “what big games” when referring to games that Fernando Mendoza played in. @espn What are we doing here?

Sorry, but Dan Orlovsky is a dipshit. He’s ruined his reputation over an idiotic position that clearly is financially driven. I’ll turn the tv off every time he shows up from this point forward.

I'll be tuning in to FS1 tonight for @HighLimitRacing. Let's move the needle and get more sprint car racing live on TV!

I’m a hard no on the ROAD to housing act. Banning build-to-rent is an attack on family friendly housing. It’s a large share of housing supply and much of it in suburban SFH where fertility is high. I’m not sure why @oren_cass et al think this is good.

@JohnMichaelsU That was just the Georgia fans :)

How much of a loser do you have to be to boo someone at the NFL combine?

@awfulannouncing I like Simpson but Alabama had an atrocious year and lost or nearly lost to a lot of inferior talent. The QB is a big part of that. Frankly, Dan Orlosky is a fourth rate talent compared to Mendoza or Ty Simpson.

"Ty Simpson’s tape from Alabama, through the first eight games of the season, is significantly more impressive than Fernando Mendoza’s" – Dan Orlovsky

Due to Florida’s legislative reforms, State Farm has announced a major dividend that will yield FL policyholders an average savings of $173 per vehicle on auto insurance. This is on the heels of rebates and/or rate decreases by Progressive, USAA and AAA — all due to the FL reforms.

LASIK eye surgery cost $2,200 per eye in 2000. Today it's around $1,000 per eye despite 24 years of inflation. Meanwhile, an MRI that cost $1,200 in 2000 now costs $3,000+. The difference? LASIK operates in a free market with no insurance interference and minimal regulation. When patients pay directly, providers must compete on price and quality. LASIK clinics advertise prices, offer financing, and constantly improve technology to attract customers. Compare this to hospital procedures where prices are hidden, patients never see bills, and insurance companies negotiate opaque rates that somehow always increase faster than inflation. Cosmetic surgery follows the same pattern. Breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and other elective procedures have become more affordable and safer over decades. Surgeons invest in better techniques and equipment because they must satisfy paying customers, not insurance bureaucrats or hospital administrators focused on maximizing reimbursements. The lesson is clear: remove third-party payment systems and excessive regulation, and you get Austrian economics in action. Prices fall, quality rises, and innovation accelerates. Healthcare costs aren't rising because of aging populations or new technology—they're rising because we've destroyed the price mechanism that makes markets work.

We’re officially in the upside down. Football season tickets are sold out while we’re emailing students to come to basketball games.

🔥Alpha male Ron DeSantis DOWNLOADS on New York and Mamdani in epic fashion: "Florida now has almost 4 million more residents than NY, yet their budget is over twice as large as Florida's.” "New York City with 8 million people has a larger budget than the entire state of Florida and yet our infrastructure is better, our roads are better, services are better." "These are choices. They don't respect the taxpayers in these places and people have rebelled now." "It's not just taxes. You have homeless problem. You obviously have had crime problem in some of these areas for a number of years." "We have no state income tax in Florida, which we're gonna keep. We have a sales tax, but the necessities of life are actually exempt." "So food, medication, baby items, you don't even pay sales tax on that." "And so if somebody is struggling trying to make ends meet, we've done a lot to reduce the burdens on them." "We've stood for people that are working hard. We respect the taxpayers and the proof's in the pudding!" "How can you possibly argue that it would be OK to have a budget TWICE as large like New York State? Given the substandard results that they have, it's a choice of how they're treating taxpayers."

Hell of a game! USA!
