Really?

@hashjenni With Hillary, it's to differentiate from Bill. With Harris, the name is too common and she's not significant enough to know who you mean.

Why do we call Trump, Obama, Bush, and Biden by their last names but Kamala and Hillary by their first names?

@adamkjohnston And by BS, I mean it’s much higher than this.

A lot of these students are either foreign born or the children of foreign born parents. They can’t even speak English let alone read it.

@adamkjohnston This sounds like BS to me. The source sounds iffy, too.

@lsferguson @ebalnolom1 I am starting to realize the majority of people in this country are foreign. Everywhere we go. We see it.

Three of our four most populous states average 25% foreign born. The fourth is closing in on this nebulous statistic. We are being swamped

@greg_price11 In other words, we can’t win on policy so we change the rules.

Fox: Why should 90% of Virginia's congressional delegation be Democrats when Kamala Harris only won the state by 5 points? Kaine: "90% of Virginians are not Democrats. That's true... but we need a congressional delegation that will stand up to Donald Trump's tyranny."

@allenanalysis Democrats are so simple minded.

Trump just headed to his golf course in Virginia. The Pope is on his 14th flight of a 10,000 mile Africa tour. Different priorities.

@EveofAI @Not_the_Bee @elonmusk Elon is a rare person who doesn’t seem to care about money. Funny that he’s the richest guy on an Earth.

@Not_the_Bee @elonmusk Motivation has nothing to do with abundance or scarcity. Elon is the wealthiest man on earth and the most motivated as well.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

Great post! When my husband and I were first dating, we ate out at nice restaurants a lot. I realized I enjoyed those things so much more if I didn’t do them all the time. I don’t buy the most house I can afford. We occasionally pick really high end hotels. And I agree 100 percent about producing something.

I actually don’t know the future I want. While abundance of everything sounds good on paper, I don’t know that humanity is made to handle it well. While nobody wants to go back to the days when mass starvation existed, people in general are happier when they have goals and more to work for, not less. I just don’t know if doubling down on leisures and luxuries will ultimately improve life or make it worse. That’s an honest question I can’t answer. I don’t think it’s as simple as saying we will all be better off without work or goals or ambitions to fulfill. Vacations are great because they are glimpses of something we can work hard to achieve more of, but I don’t know that endless vacations are good for the soul. I’ve already experienced this to a certain extent with AI. As a software developer, I used to take a lot of joy out of building something great and seeing it work in the real world. This past year I’ve been more productive than ever, yet I don’t take any joy out of it. I orchestrated it, but I didn’t really do it for myself. It’s a hard question to answer, and also while I agree we may all be able to have some of the same things as the ultra wealthy, just because we can all have penthouses doesn’t mean we can all have penthouses overlooking Central Park, per se. Abundance of some things is possible. Abundance of others, like property, isn’t. My questions more arise with the latter, how do we deal with that if we are living in a post-monetary world?

@CalltoActivism lol

A video is going viral of President Obama and Mayor Mamdani singing wheels on the bus with kids in a NYC school. There is literally not one person alive in the entire Republican Party who measures up to either of these two people.

@BarackObama @NYCMayor Why don’t you slink off into the night like other ex presidents?

Great spending time with New York City’s Cutest. And thanks to @NYCMayor for giving me an excuse to break out my best “Wheels on the Bus”

@Handre @Jasmine_Keith Democrats have zero understanding of economics. Wasn’t this around the time Obama bailed out the auto industry? Hmmm…

Cash for Clunkers destroyed 690,000 functional vehicles in 2009, creating an artificial scarcity that rippled through used car markets for over a decade. The Obama administration sold this $3 billion program as environmental salvation and economic stimulus, but any free market economist could predict the real outcome: massive wealth destruction disguised as progress. The program forced dealers to pour sodium silicate into engines, permanently destroying cars that poor families could have afforded. Politicians eliminated the bottom tier of the used car market overnight. Suddenly, a reliable $3,000 Honda Civic became a $7,000 Honda Civic (if you could find one). The supposed beneficiaries — working-class Americans who needed affordable transportation — got priced out entirely. Government intervention always creates unseen victims, and Cash for Clunkers delivered them by the millions. Single mothers, college students, and minimum-wage workers watched their mobility options vanish as used car prices soared 30% between 2009 and 2014. The environmental gains proved negligible too: most clunkers averaged 15-17 MPG while replacements hit 24-25 MPG. Destroying half a million cars to improve average fuel economy by 8 MPG represents the kind of central planning that would give Soviet bureaucrats a hard-on. The wealth destruction extended beyond sticker prices. Higher transportation costs forced people into longer payment terms, creating a debt cycle that persists today. Cash for Clunkers normalized 84-month auto loans, turning cars from depreciating assets into multi-year financial anchors. Bureaucrats congratulated themselves for moving inventory off dealer lots while condemning an entire generation to transportation poverty.

@BreitbartNews He was Nancy Pelosi’s bitch. Until he wasn’t.

Progressive commentator Nomiki Konst says as a freshman congressman, Eric Swalwell hit on her "aggressively" in the midst of top Dems & journos. Years later, he slid into her DMs. She says it shows "a whole other level of narcissism" to think he could get away with this in a post-Anthony Weiner, post-MeToo world. "My takeaway from that experience -- nothing  happened between us -- was that he was doing it out in the open in a DNC meeting with, like, Donna Brazile in the room and, like, senators and Congress members and DNC members and press. And I'm like, you are so reckless that you are just out here in the open acting like this. So it was an open secret  that he was, he at least cheated on his wife. I didn't know anything beyond that, and it wasn't anything, you know, super alarming, because there's plenty of people, unfortunately, who act like that. But what really gets under my skin is how this man thought he could get away with it in 2026. This isn't like JFK where you can like hide all of his behaviors. This is an era where we're in a post-MeToo era. You know, Anthony Weiner got caught doing what he did, like, 15 years ago. He's sending photos. He's in writing -- and he thought he was gonna be governor? He thought  he was still going to be a congressman -- that he would get away with this? That's like a whole other level of narcissism and poor judgment -- poor judgment in a criminal way, potentially. But poor judgment, you shouldn't be governor. You shouldn't even be in an elected position, at this point."

@LTrain5407 @lsferguson I have a brain?

@Really5dog @lsferguson How do you know they're foreigners

High school kids used to have part time jobs. Where do they work now? Places like fast food restaurants and retailers are all staffed by foreigners. Am I missing something?

@RedRebeccax They blame being broke on Trump.

Am I the only one that never does Doordash or Ubereats? Yeah, lemme get some lukewarm fast food for twice the price. How do people have that much money to waste?

@kellygiven @lsferguson This is a reasonable argument. Maybe the answer is to get college costs down so dual enrollment isn't a thing anymore. It's a lot of pressure on kids at a young age, too.

@lsferguson My kids did not work in high school. Both did dual enrollment. The amount of money they could have earned at a part time job was way less than the money they saved earning college credits.

@PepperyTwill @lsferguson My kids fit in that category and both of them worked because I made them get jobs.

@lsferguson In my experience high schoolers and even college age aren’t working anymore. In my town the college is so expensive you have to be rich to go there (rich parents more like) and their experience is funded so no need to work.

@Igor_Cocteau @RealJamesWoods Jesus. What are you? 5?

@RealJamesWoods Can't go wrong with the Harri/Butt ticket

God willing…

@RealJamesWoods Didn't she already say a gay man couldn't win?

@Bitcoin_Teddy Khanna's a dirtbag. Democrats don't want a handle on fraud because they manufactured the whole system of fraud.

KHANNA: “You're saying to me … with a 1% tax on wealth that people are going to leave? Come on, have some more patriotism.” RYAN: “Scott Bessent said yesterday there's ~$600 BILLION in fraud … Don't you think we might want to get a handle on that before we tax everybody more?”
