@atty2chgo @rich_goldberg Israel’s enemies are also the enemies of the USA. Israel stands as the first line of defense against terror. The only threat greater than Islamic terror is the strength of the American left. Remember who your enemies are.

@rich_goldberg Here is the main question:
Is the preservation of The State of Israel MORE IMPORTANT than the preservation of the United States of America?
No. Not even equally as important.
English
The only place in the Western Hemisphere where there are "conservatives" against Israel is in the United States. It's an op and people are falling for it. Look at every leader turning a country from anti-American socialism back toward freedom, toward America. They love Israel.

@sues86453 That is why the founding fathers wanted limited government and local rule. Ppl can rein in their politicians more readily at the local level. A HUGE factor causing the American Civil War. A big centralized govt was NEVER the founding intent.
English
I believe this to be true… but not just Democrats. Yes, they are predominantly corrupt but many Conservatives in government are too.
We probably have no idea the level of corruption present.

LEAKED AUDIO: The most damaging part isn’t that conservatives called Alvin Bragg’s Trump case nonsense.
It’s that someone inside Manhattan’s legal world reportedly said it privately.
Fox News aired a segment citing leaked audio obtained by the New York Post, where a Manhattan public affairs official allegedly blasts the case against Trump and says Bragg was “stacking charges” and rearranging things just to make the case fit.
Then comes the line that says everything:
“I think the case is nonsense.”
Exactly.
This was never a clean, neutral pursuit of justice.
This was a weak legal theory stretched into 34 felony counts against the leading political opponent of the Democrat Party.
Even worse, the leaked audio reportedly points out what everyone in New York already knows:
Real estate and business people deal with paperwork and valuation disputes all the time.
Yet somehow, Trump is the one turned into a felony case in the middle of an election cycle.
So the real question is simple:
Was this justice?
Or was this selective prosecution dressed up as justice?
Because when prosecutors take behavior that is usually handled as a civil/business issue, stack charges around it, and aim it at one political target while ignoring everyone else, people are going to call it what it looks like.
The clip may not literally say “election interference.”
But when the leading opposition candidate is dragged through court, gagged, branded a felon, buried in legal costs, and hit with wall-to-wall media coverage during an election year, the implication is impossible to miss.
The process was the punishment.
The headlines were the weapon.
And now, according to this leaked audio, even people inside Manhattan’s own legal circles reportedly knew the case was nonsense from the start.

Property has always been taxed. Income tax is a relatively new idea from the Industrial Revolution when companies were able to start paying consistent wages. The USA sold a lot of land. That funded us a lot. Plus tariffs. Property taxes, tariffs, and for the USA- land sales funded our govt (loans from other countries could also be thrown in there, I guess.)

@KelleyToons @r0ck3t23 How did the government obtain funds before forced taxation?

Elon Musk just proved that ownership in America is a legal fiction.
Musk: “You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own.”
Think about what property tax actually means.
You worked for decades. Paid it off in full. The deed is in your name.
Stop paying the government its annual fee. Watch them take it and sell it to someone who will.
You never owned that house. You were leasing it from an entity you never signed a contract with.
Income tax tells the same truth in softer packaging.
The government does not take a portion of your earnings. They decide how much of your own labor you are permitted to keep.
That is not semantics. It is a confession of who the system believes your time belongs to first.
Sales tax buries itself in the receipt. Two people exchange value voluntarily. A third party who contributed nothing takes a cut simply for allowing it to happen.
Now stack all three.
Taxed when you create. Taxed when you spend. Taxed when you hold. Taxed again when you die and try to pass it to your children.
At no point in that cycle does the system recognize your output as yours.
Because money is not an abstraction. It is crystallized human lifespan.
Every dollar taxed is an hour you already lived, already bled for, already gone.
The state is not managing an economy. It is claiming dominion over time you will never get back.
And spending it on systems you never asked for and actively oppose.
The institution extracting all of it faces zero obligation to perform. A contractor who delivers nothing gets fired. A bureaucracy that burns through trillions gets a budget increase the next fiscal year.
SpaceX pays taxes to the agencies that obstruct its launches. Tesla funds the regulators drafting rules to shield its competitors.
The builders are not subsidizing government. They are financing their own friction.
The tax code is 74,000 pages long. Not because the economy demands it. Because the extraction had to be buried in enough complexity that you would stop asking who it was designed to protect.
The past belonged to the people who taxed the world.
The future belongs to the people who build it.
English
@KelleyToons @r0ck3t23 Also never forget: our Constitution had to be amended to allow the income tax. The 16th amendment was ratified in 1913. Then, the world wars broke out and nations racked up impossible national debts.
English
We should NEVER forget that income tax was a temporary measure. Not something part of our country, not something our founders would have EVER agreed with, but something put in place to temporarily help and has now grown to be something our founding fathers would have rebelled against.

These narratives are seeding what will be eliminated in the future
Heading into a debt and inflation crisis will make people stop paying and force the politicians to act
Trump is laying the groundwork for alternative revenue streams and cutting of spending to achieve it

@infantrydort Yet, some combat veterans enter the arena using their clout to hurt and defame others. It’s really a two street.
English
Have you ever noticed how eager a certain class of journalist, bureaucrat, and politician is to discredit combat veterans?
Not disagree with them. Discredit them.
The veteran is never merely wrong. He’s unstable, dangerous, extremist, reckless, a threat to democracy, a national security risk, or whatever label happens to be fashionable that week.
The reason is simple.
Combat creates a form of legitimacy that cannot be purchased, credentialed, networked into existence, or bestowed by an institution. It is earned the old-fashioned way, through risk, sacrifice, and proximity to consequences.
That makes some people deeply uncomfortable.
A résumé can be manufactured. A reputation can be curated. An entire career can be built inside climate-controlled rooms where every risk is professional and every failure theoretical.
Reality offers no such accommodations.
The attack is rarely about the opinion itself. It’s against the credibility carried by the person expressing it.
A healthy civilization treats warriors, scholars, builders, workers, and statesmen as complementary.
An unhealthy one becomes obsessed with destroying every form of legitimacy except its own.
After all, a class confident in its legitimacy does not spend this much time trying to destroy everyone else’s.

Good question. This is the world we’ve been given. The Middle East is a volatile and dangerous place. It always has been. So how do we get them to stop killing ppl? Personally, I wish we fought like we did in the Am Rev, The Civil War, WW1 and WW II. Unconditional surrender seemed to get our adversaries to toe the line. Why did that stop? My best guess is that our adversaries developed nuclear weapons, and so diplomacy became all the rage. We can stand our ground. But the Middle East will never not be violent. And the Leftists will also promote chaos. That’s our lot. That’s our predicament…. Constant horrific strife.

@SharonBeaman @TomHoefling Don’t exaggerate. No, the east wing is being renovated into a ballroom. The rose garden is beautiful and hasn’t been destroyed. The UFC match was a fun and entertaining venue for millions. And destroying the reflecting pool liner is a criminal act. There, hope that helps.
English
@KatMis44 @TomHoefling Vandals tore down the East wing, destroyed the rose garden, built a UFC ring and a cyclist stuck his hand in the pool and voila it was destroyed ! But at the end of the day it’s probably Biden’s fault. Geez 🙄
English
The Capitol grounds and building. The East wing of the WH. The Rose Garden. The South Lawn. The reflecting pool between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. There is, it seems, no limit to what part of our most precious national public spaces Trump will deface.

We actively funded the Taliban in Afghanistan for years.
We still look the other way as Shia militias in Iraq run rampant with direct lines to the Iranian Quds force.
We placed a literal Al Qaeda commander in charge of Syria and act like it was a good move.
We are extremely cozy with Qatari monarchs that tax enslave millions and harbor terrorists from Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood, to just name a couple.
We think we can negotiate with Iran successfully this time, despite almost 50 years of evidence proving we cannot.
And we are now undermining our relationships with our very few Western leaning allies in the Middle East.
Like seriously, what the hell are we doing guys?
