I believe in freedom. And that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. And that taxation is theft.

I think I agree with you for the most part, but you’re so deep into the policy weeds that it gives me the impression that you think SS was a good idea in the first place. Me, I think we should offer young people the option of private investment instead of getting trapped into a Ponzi scheme.

I oppose eliminating or raising the Social Security wage cap. I’d consider a statutorily bounded high-income donut hole at extraordinary incomes, but only if criteria justify emergency solvency measures, not a blank check. Quigley framed this as Elon paying the same Social Security tax as someone earning $184.5k. That sounds like a billionaire tax. In practice, it reaches families like mine first. I just had my first child at 38. I’m a working professional in a high-cost area trying to pay a mortgage, maintain a home, save for retirement, and build a future for my daughter. Another big tax bill doesn’t come from a yacht fund. It comes from do i get a new AC system or a new boiler that year. If there is a high-end donut hole, it should have real statutory limits: high thresholds, indexing, solvency triggers, sunset rules, and benefit reforms. Don’t market “tax Elon” and deliver “tax upper-middle families.”

Black Parole Supervisor Fired for Racist Remarks on Austin Metcalf: ‘Let Them Start Burying Some of Theirs for a Change.’ A black parole supervisor in Texas was dismissed after posting racially charged comments on social media about the murder of white teenager Austin Metcalf by fellow student athlete Karmelo Anthony, who is black. PULSE POINTS ❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Donna Murray Robinson, a black parole supervisor with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), was fired after posting inflammatory remarks on Facebook about the trial of Karmelo Anthony, a black teenager convicted of stabbing Austin Metcalf, a white teenager, to death at a track meet. 📺 DETAIL: Robinson’s now-deleted posts celebrated the death of Metcalf, stating, “Let them start burying some of theirs for a change,” and expressed support for Anthony, claiming he would be “protected on the inside.” The TDCJ has confirmed her termination, stating, “These statements are incompatible with TDCJ policy and values. They demonstrate bias and a lack of the impartiality essential to the fair administration of justice in Texas. Discriminatory or inflammatory conduct that erodes public confidence in the criminal justice system will not be tolerated.” 💬 KEY QUOTE: “I for one don’t give fk [sic] about the family’s loss. It’s about time these fkng [sic] bigots feel the pain that they have inflicted on other groups of people since the beginning of time! I’m just glad we didn’t have to bury another black child. Let them start burying some of theirs for a change. FK’em [sic] I said what I said.” – Donna Murray Robinson 🎯 IMPACT: The incident highlights the tension in the U.S. with respect to race and criminal justice, with many black people rallying around Anthony despite the fact that he had fatally stabbed an unarmed victim in what proved to be a clear case of murder, with jurors taking just three hours to return a guilty verdict. Robinson’s anti-white remarks indicate that such feelings are present even among officials connected to the criminal justice system and charged with maintaining public trust and upholding impartiality. Notably, Metcalf’s family received death threats following the verdict. 📺 FLASHBACK: Karmelo Anthony, 19, was convicted earlier this month after a jury rejected his claim of self-defense in the fatal stabbing of Metcalf during a confrontation at a track meet in April 2025. Anthony had entered a tent he was not supposed to be in, refused to leave when asked, and engaged in a minor scuffle with Metcalf. He then retrieved a knife from his backpack and stabbed Metcalf in the chest.

We have class issues in this country, though we deny it, but nothing like the deep loathing that the UK middle classes (not the upper classes) have for the working class. We are talking about the university credentialed class (used to be a lot smaller). A whole class of educators, officers, medical, engineers, managers. One life example, I recall on Youtube, an interview with a working-class electrician. In the engineering firm that we worked at managment/engineering never addressed him by his name, not his first name nor his last name (Mr. Raines, for example) but simply as "Sparks". "Hey Sparks, take a look at this....". He's an electricians, so "Sparks", get it. The intent was to alienated, even dehumanize, and it's still there working today. Deep, deep, deep loathing. A loathing that was as deep as American racism at it's worst.

One of the darkest aspects of this is that these girls came from the lower classes, the north, the working class, the industrial towns and cities. Their grandparents and ancestors were coal miners, factory workers, soldiers, servants to the upper classes. To show their thanks to generations of loyal Brits who did backbreaking toil for their country and the crown, their daughters were given as sex slaves to foreign invaders. A genocide of native people. The crimes of the complicit modern UK government put it up there with Ceausescu’s Romania and Pol Pot.
The Dank Knight 🦇@capeandcowell

250,000 girls raped by Muslim rape gangs. A quarter of a million of your young daughters. And then kept secret by those meant to protect them. Then arresting people for speaking out. Why Brits aren’t violently overthrowing their government as we speak I’ll never know.

@MendhamMike @GEEGdotcom @RepMikeQuigley Okay, fair enough. But I'm confused- do you think the payment ceiling should be unlimited or do you think $184K is fair? Because the collection side is definitely capped.

That’s a very valid, fair point. Again, I didn’t mean to phrase this as intergenerational warfare, and that was wrong on my part. Better put: when politicians say “Elon” it’s not Elon who feels it. It’s not billionaires or multimillionaires who feel it. It’s the people making $200k in high-cost cities, whose last 2 or 3 paychecks of the year before Christmas have a little extra because they finally finished paying SSDI. The max was only $137k just in 2020. 6 years later and you have to pay on $184k of income. Now they want to make it unlimited income.

BRITAIN’S ABUSIVE HUSBAND Once upon a time, there was a man named Steer Karmer. Please don’t confuse this man with Keir Starmer, the current overlord of United Kingdom, who is definitely not the person that I am writing about. After all, the names are obviously not the same. One name refers to a castrated farm animal, and the other name refers to a castrated politician. Anyhoo, our hero, Steer, is a family man. He has a beautiful wife, and a house full of sons and daughters. Of course, as the man of the house, he is in charge of things, and he lays down the law for his family. Over the years, Steer has developed quite a habit of hospitality. He removed all of the locks from his doors, and he regularly goes out into the streets to invite in wanderers and vagrants. Over the past few years, the family has grown accustomed to sharing their home with all sorts of people. Being a peace-loving wife and children, they defaulted to trusting the man of the house, and tried not to make much fuss, even though the piles of dishes in the kitchen sink, the food left out to spoil on the table, the drugs left laying around in the open, and the fighting and screaming and smashing of glass in the middle of the night were a little bit annoying. But it wasn’t long before the Karmer family was being subjected to abuse. Steer’s wife and daughters found themselves subjected to constant acts of sexual harassment and assault. His sons were regularly beaten, and one of them was murdered. Family valuables regularly went missing. The family cried out to Steer, asking him to please do something about the situation. They cried out for years. But whenever they would ask for help, he would slap them in the face and tell them to stop being racist. Over the last few months, his children have acquired smartphones, and while video chatting with their friends, their friends noticed things going on in the background. “Why is that guy pounding on Tommy’s face?” Slowly, the Karmer family began to realize that what they were experiencing was actually not the normal experience of the average family. “Wait, I think other families lock their doors. I think other dads actually aren’t OK with strangers beating their children.” Dear old Mr. Steer was horrified. His wife and children were becoming restless and discontent. They even started burning the toast that he had purchased especially for their guests. He shamed and chided them. He spanked them. He locked them in their rooms. He manhandled them and shouted them down. But despite all of his best efforts, they still refused to enjoy being raped and murdered by strangers. Obviously, they were more racist than he thought. Yet, he had another solution in mind. Out of deep and abiding concern for the mental health of his children, he took away all of their smartphones. No more video calls. No more friends commenting on the goings-on in the Karmer household. He was sure that this would solve the problem. Now his family would learn to be content, and they would stop all of the racist complaining and whining. He threw open the doors of his house, posted a sign out front declaring that they were not a racist family, and sat down to dinner that night with his wife and children (and 18 strangers) with a full heart. He beamed a great smile out over the dinner table, as Mohammed Habib Abdullah smashed George’s face into his bowl of mashed potatoes, and said “Family, I am proud to say that the troubles which have led to our unrest are finally over.” His 18-year-old son Henry looked at him, smiled wryly, and said “I don’t think they are, mate.”

Here are eight essential quotes from @RupertLowe10's Rape Gang Inquiry. 1) This was a nationwide, not merely local, phenomenon. "...that this was never a series of isolated local failures. It was a coordinated, nationwide pattern of organised child sexual exploitation that repeated in town after town, city after city, from the far north to the south coast." 2) The scale was enormous, more than anyone dared to think. "The scale of the crimes committed is staggering. It has been previously established that, at the very least, 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma. The true number is probably higher." 3) As has been reported, the vast majority of perpetrators were Pakistani Muslims. " In court records and official inquiries, around 87% of those convicted in these group-based child sexual exploitation (‘CSE’) cases bore distinctively Muslim names... Dr. Taj Hargey, an imam with the Oxford Islamic Congregation, believes the true proportion of gang members who are Muslims to be around 95%." 4) Vulnerable girls were targeted using a consistent method. "Organised networks of perpetrators built coordinated operations that transported victims between locations, supplied them with drugs and alcohol, recorded abuse for distribution and blackmail, and passed girls between multiple adult men." 5) The police, and other institutions, knew what was happening and ignored it. "Police forces ignored repeated reports, criminalised victims instead of perpetrators, destroyed evidence, and allowed known rapists to walk free on bail. Social care services undermined protective parents, placed children in trafficking hubs inside children’s homes, closed cases despite clear indicators of exploitation, and retaliated against whistleblowers. The NHS recorded genital injuries, multiple sexually transmitted infections in children as young as 13, pregnancies caused by rape, and suicide attempts, yet discharged victims back to their abusers without safeguarding referrals or trauma care. Schools observed older men collecting girls at the gates, heard disclosures of rape on school premises, and responded by excluding victims rather than protecting them." 6) Those in these institutions did so because they were afraid of being called 'racist'. "Political correctness, fear of accusations of racism, and fear of losing electoral support from certain demographics have taken precedence over the protection of British children." 7) Parts of the foster and orphan care system became exploitation hotspots. "Children’s homes became trafficking hubs where staff failed to stop older men collecting girls at night. Local authorities often returned children to unsafe homes and placements despite repeated disclosures of grooming... Social care across England systematically enabled organised grooming and the rape of children. Children’s services, local authorities, foster carers, children’s homes, and independent units repeatedly returned vulnerable children to known risk." 8) Multiple offenders explicitly linked their treatment of these girls with their own religious and cultural beliefs, and the girls' white ethnicity. "They were taken to houses, flats, restaurants, and hotels where they were raped repeatedly by groups of men, tortured, filmed for blackmail, and told they were “white trash” or “kuffar” who merited punishment." There must be comeuppance for this, and it must involve the death penalty.

I phrased my point poorly, as if boomers are at fault. I was making a rhetorical point in response to a politician on the policy. Replace “boomer” with “retiree” if you like, the point is pols mismanaged social security, and keep reaching deeper into the employed’s pockets, disproportionate to what was paid in, with no regard for the disproportionate effect it has at the bottom of the max SSDI tax range. In NY/NJ & the Bay Area $184k is a lot less than it may sound to someone in the Midwest. Besides the policy being dishonest on substance (it affects professional employees, mainly, not Elon), it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They’re converting an earned benefit system into a welfare program under the banner of solvency. They can’t sell “socialism” to baby boomers, but they can sell “protect your social security” and “making social security by making Elon pay more.” Perhaps, rather than asymmetrically only raising taxes, repeatedly, we need to look at some belt tightening as well: phasing benefits, age changes, means testing, etc.

@RepMikeQuigley Boomers didn’t pay anything close to payroll taxes on up to $184k salary in 2026 dollars. This policy isn’t targeted at Elon & billionaires; it’s targeted at families in expensive metros. Millennials deserve to have kids and live the dreams boomers already did. Let them cut back.

When Tocqueville came to America in 1831, just shy of 200 years ago, what he observed astonished him. His expectations, much like the expectations of the elites in Europe and our own country today, began with our “remarkable tendency to organize themselves in pursuit of shared goals.” “Americans of all ages constantly unite,” Tocqueville wrote in his book Democracy in America. “Not only do they have commercial and industrial associations, in which all take part, but they also have a thousand other kinds: religious, moral, grave, futile, very general and very particular, immense and very small.” When Tocqueville visited the U.S., we were in an era of rapid change, not unlike today. Some were moving westward, others toward cities, others away from cities, all while building transportation systems, such as canals and roadways, to achieve that moment. The Industrial Revolution was at the center of all that cultural and political change. Our postal system was also speeding up. Our political parties were raucous, populist, and changing with the times. And we were influenced by those changed by how we formed communities. Sound familiar? We are also in a moment of rapid change, building high-tech superhighways, this time through artificial intelligence and the internet. We are also moving inward this time, some rediscovering the middle of our country, while others try to remake our cities. And the technological revolution of AI is having as much of a cultural and political impact as the industrial revolution. What @FreddyLA7 @shaunvlog_ and all of the other World Cup soccer fans are experiencing is a modern-day Tocqueville moment. Freddy and Shaun likely had no idea what to expect when arriving here. If they read the European press or the Atlantic, it was probably pretty dark. Tocqueville himself wrote that he expected to find a raw, chaotic society, which is pretty much a condensed version of the criticisms you read about America and Americans from elite news organizations today. What Tocqueville found instead were Americans who were constantly developing ways, and or tools, for creating associations, both large and small — associations with wildly different interests, from small local sports and community or religious groups with little internal order to vast national networks with structures. Think the Rotary Club, NAACP, the Elks, Lions Clubs, Future Farmers of America, the Grange, and 4-H. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
