@realmflynnJR Everything Levin ranted about Ukraine was dead wrong. That should have given it away….

Please stop listening to this fool Mr. President. We didn’t vote for him. We voted for you. We voted for no new wars. America First!

@MattWalshBlog Or let’s say Trump just gets out. The place is in chaos. But then the Chinese drop in and say, Hi there, good Persians, we’ll rebuild you in exchange for a bunch of military bases. Then what?

Some of us expressed great concern about the Iran War when it was first launched. We were shouted down and condemned as “panicans” and “blackpillers” and even Islamist sympathizers. But it’s pretty clear from how things have gone that our concerns were absolutely reasonable and legitimate. Maybe Trump will get us out of this thing soon and it still won’t spiral into a long and drawn out war. But even if that happens — and I’m not convinced it will — no thoughtful person can deny at this point that the spiral and long war scenario is very much a possibility. No reasonable person, at this stage, can say that our concerns were irrational. What looks irrational now — and always did — is the demand for blind allegiance and unthinking “trust” in our elected leaders, as though we are called to have faith in politicians like we have faith in God.

I remember when Thune was elected as the majority leader. The ballot consisted of 2 RINOS (Thune and Cornyn) and 1 reasonable, true conservative, Rick Scott. Rick Scott got eliminated during the first round, and the 2 RINOs practically split the vote (with Thune winning by just a few votes). That should tell you everything about what we are dealing with in the Senate. The RINOs are in control, so basically, the Democrats are in control. If your state has a RINO in the Senate, PLEASE stop re-electing them!

@MZHemingway Well, for the dumbest person in the Senate (quite a distinction), this is a blazing insight.

Correct. Not sure why you’re defending him this way but correct.

@r0ck3t23 Before you spend much time listening to O’Leary, you should check out what happened to the company that generated his wealth. And his tiresome platform.

Kevin O’Leary worked directly for Steve Jobs. Sat across from him. Watched the process at point-blank range. Then told you there is only one person on Earth who exceeded him. O’Leary: “The only other person that I’ve seen that has a higher ratio than that is Elon Musk. He has no noise. He is 100% signal.” Jobs ran 80/20. Eighty percent signal. Twenty percent noise. That ratio built the most valuable consumer brand in history. Changed phones. Changed music. Changed computing. Eighty percent was enough to reshape entire industries. Musk runs at 100. Not low noise. Zero. Every waking second aimed at the objective. No detour. No drift. No performance. O’Leary has sat across from thousands of founders. The most driven people on the planet. He found one who operates at that frequency. One. But the comparison does not flatter Jobs the way you think it does. O’Leary: “Not a nice guy. Not a nice guy.” Jobs would walk into a room and make every voice in it irrelevant before he opened his mouth. O’Leary: “I don’t give a shit what the students want or the parents think or anybody thinks. It’s what I want. They don’t know what they want till I tell them what they want.” When O’Leary pushed back, Jobs had one response. O’Leary: “Then fucking shut up and do what I say.” Total control. My vision. Your obedience. It worked. Nobody alive disputes that. But it worked inside a ceiling. Consumer electronics. Software. Design. One company. One product line at a time. Musk operates at 100% signal across six companies in six different industries simultaneously. Jobs demanded obedience to his taste. Musk demands obedience to physics. Jobs told the room what to think. Musk listens to the engineer closest to the problem, because that person holds the variable that changes the equation. He does not walk in and silence the room. He walks in and interrogates it. A blown prototype at SpaceX is not failure. It is data. A missed deadline is not a lack of effort. It is proof the timeline was aggressive enough to force invention. Jobs demanded control and got beautiful products. Musk demands exploration and gets rockets that land themselves, cars that drive themselves, and chips that think for themselves. The difference is not temperament. It is scale. Jobs changed how people use technology. Musk is changing whether the species survives. Most people have not caught up to what that sentence means. AI is rewriting every industry on the planet. Truth itself is becoming negotiable. This is the window. Wrong hands at the controls and open society does not recover. Musk bought a platform and turned it into a public square. He is building the AI. The energy. The rockets. The satellites connecting the planet. The robots that will reshape labor. The media calls him reckless. Dangerous. Uncontrollable. They are right about one of those. He is uncontrollable. By them. He does not answer to editorial boards. Does not answer to regulators who want to slow the future to a pace they can manage. Does not answer to competitors who would rather he stopped building so they could catch up. He answers to physics. To timelines. To the math of a species that does not get a second attempt. The rarest combination on Earth is not intelligence and drive. It is intelligence, drive, and the willingness to let the mission burn through everything else. Jobs built a company people loved. Musk is building the floor beneath a civilization that has not noticed the ground is shifting. 100% signal. Zero noise. History is not going to produce this combination twice. It was not supposed to produce it once.

@LeaderJohnThune Well, fearless leader, you should stop being the football.

When it comes to funding DHS, Democrats are moving the goalposts every day. They are playing politics and using the American people as pawns. This needs to stop. We need to fund DHS.

@johnkonrad @Erieislandlady Just cave. I did.

My liberal 4.0 daughter just got into her dream school. 7% acceptance rate. Absolutely unreal. Insanely proud of her. Now do I rob a bank, push a cheaper school, put her in student loan debt, or dust off the old captain’s hardhat and head back to sea? Decisions. Decisions.

@NYCMayor It’s calmed Islamo-awareness. We’ve seen it. We’ve lived it.

I’m outraged by this hateful, anti-Muslim attack in our city. No one should be targeted with slurs, threats, or violence—ever. Muslim New Yorkers deserve to move through this city in safety and dignity. Islamophobia has no place here, and we will not tolerate it.

@thetoyman1 @TheFive They are actually best with no token lefty. Kennedy is really good—could be a fulltimer. But, yes, the show has become unwatchable.

Her time is up. We went through Juan Williams, Bob Beckel, and Geraldo. All liberal folks whose time ran out. Jessica is now HURTING the @TheFive

@PaulDMauro @GovPressOffice Kinda like that successful deal Custer made with Sitting Bull.

@GovPressOffice That "deal" didn't work -- wasn't even designed to work -- and you know it. It was designed to kick the can down the road. Making this post a lie. Therefore making you....

The man who actually got Iran to make a deal that kept Americans safe

🚨 The first step to getting the Save America Act passed through reconciliation... is to fire the Senate Parliamentarian Reid & McConnell changed the rules Schumer used reconciliation in a (50-50) Senate Elizabeth Macdonough was appointed by Harry Reid in (2012) Thune doesn't even need to take a vote to remove her.... time for Elizabeth Macdonough to find another job @LeaderJohnThune do your job, or step aside

@epaleezeldin And a continued idiotic use of fertilizer, diesel, and water. Just admit we continue to buy off Thune, Grassley and the Big Corn states.

I just signed and announced a nationwide E15 and E10 fuel waiver to fortify U.S. fuel supply. This waiver ensures a robustly available supply of domestic fuel, providing Americans further relief at the pumps, and reducing our reliance on foreign oil. This means lower energy costs for ALL Americans—fulfilling President Trump’s Day One Executive Orders. epa.gov/newsreleases/e…

@nfergus @DavidAFrench The fourth seduction is listening to twats like McChrystal. Go back to your London School of Economics and wow us with some financial analysis of irrelevant issues.

This is a must-read interview. @DavidAFrench and General Stanley McChrystal on the three seductions of the American way of war. 1/6

@mcuban This is actually a much bigger problem for sub-50 employee companies.

I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire. It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs. Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ? Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us. Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

@loonlake55 And it’s all driven by Democrats, directly or indirectly. Hmm.

Let me get this straight. There's SNAP fraud, EBT fraud, Medicaid and Medicare fraud, home healthcare fraud, daycare fraud, medical transportation fraud, and hospice fraud, but definitely, absolutely no election fraud?

@mirandadevine A Trump-hating parliamentarian doesn’t help.

Senator Kennedy and Larry Kudlow disagree. Smart crafting is key

@ByronYork Glad all of you are such moral paragons. How great to be you.

True. Essential fact: "There was no need to say anything."

@BillAckman Wow you’re such a genius. Wish I woulda thought of that.

Politicians should not be able to shut down our country’s critical infrastructure in an attempt to achieve a political outcome.

@JohnStossel @danieljmitchell It’s just the usual jealous of the pseudo-elites. The credentialed babbling class just can’t stand people that they consider inferiors getting rich.

Robert Reich says he wants billionaires to go extinct! That’s economic idiocy. Billionaires get rich by CREATING wealth. They get paid a lot, but still only earn 2% of the value of their companies, economist @danieljmitchell notes. We should want MORE billionaires:

@elonmusk A lot of CEOs don’t really want to know what’s going on.

Most CEOs have no idea what’s really going on
