I have a friend who has never served. Wonderful girl, huge heart,
But I think I absolutely shocked the shit out of her when I told her that when I’m in big gatherings in public, one of my concerns is a truck attack or car bomb by an Islamic extremist.
I think she thinks I’m hateful.
I don’t know how to tell her that this isn’t because I hate, but because I have seen and experienced hate.
Hate that most people will never be close to- and a callousness for life that we, as Americans will never understand; and those of us that do get to see that callousness bear the moral and spiritual scars until the end of our days.
I wish I could help her understand where I’m coming from. There is evil in this world; I’ve seen it up close and I simply cannot articulate that eloquently enough for people who haven’t been there to understand.
Anyway, happy Veterans Day to all you idiots who put on the uniform. Take care of each other- and know that I admire and respect you for your service. Stand proud of your service. You earned every badge, decoration, scar and bruise- and all of them tell of your dedication to service above self.
‘This we’ll defend’.

Dear TPUSA, Erika Kirk, and anyone else with a hand in outreach…
Honest question: why aren’t you recruiting guys like myself who aren’t polished, are blue collar types, have calloused hands and rough knuckles, and might not look like “All-America,” but can connect with people who are also sorta politically homeless.
I mean, it also wouldn’t hurt to have someone representing you who has the gift of gab and the gift of jab if necessary, knaa’mean? Can’t put a message out if some lavender haired they/them is flipping your table on a whim.
I mean, think about it… I might not be the guy wearing a Versace belt with a $2,000 suit, but I like my jeans and Timberlands and I think more Americans can identify with that than anything else.
@FrontlinesTPUSA @TPUSA
Hugs,

This is the Democratic playbook every time so nobody should be surprised. Say whatever you need to get elected and then push forward on your actual agenda.
Democrats have no plan to lower the price of anything. Their partners in the Republican Party handed them the issue with the highest Election Day gas prices on record, and that is what allowed the ass kicking last Tuesday. In the NBC exit poll 87% of voters said they were concerned about gas prices. Gallup had climate change last of 11 issues. A week later Kerry calls it a vote for climate policy.
This is the product of a culture that has given up thinking for itself. Voters are educated by the government and then offered two parties that share the same moral code, the one that says your life and property belong to the public. Until that code is challenged the two parties will keep trading turns until they finally bankrupt us.

In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

For Veteran's Day, let your heart be filled with gratitude for the brave men and women upon whose deeds and sacrifices we stand today. Let that gratitude lead you to defend what they sought to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic: the Constitution of the United States

God bless all who served the greatest country in history. Today we recommit ourselves to become worthy of your sacrifices. Because I fear we no longer are.
Globalist regulation is an insidious depressor of the US economy. It's worse than tariffs because its not visible to everyone. Forestry products is a huge industry in the US -- Per Google's AI 4-5% of total annual US manufacturing GDP and a $435 billion industry that employees thousands of people (See @ForestandPaper @forestservice).
Yet, the EU through the EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) is exerting control over the industry in the United States by telling companies that use forest products and that sell in the EU market that they must legally prove their products do not originate from land deforested or subject to forest degradation. They have to establish that the landowners they purchase timber from do not repurpose their lands to non-forest uses. The EU wants data tracking this down to the GPS coordinates of the lands from which timber is cut.
In practice, this means that landowners who plant pine with the intent to harvest cannot, for example, repurpose their lands for pasture, for food crops, a data center, or other non-forest uses after harvesting. If they plan to repurpose the land and the company who would buy the timber knows the plan, the company cannot buy the timber or it risks losing its contracts in the EU marketplace.
How silly does this seem? The EU can tell a US business owner who it can and cannot buy from and dictate to a US landowner how he or she can use the land?
A huge industry of consultants is being stood up to provide the very data that will kill this industry, much like the Sarbanes-Oxley consultant industrial complex after the 2001 meltdown. Rather than fight this idiocy, @USCongress is kowtowing to the EU and businesses are collecting the information that sows their own destruction. @USCongress @scott_colom @SenatorWicker stand up to this idiocy before it destroys the timber industry in our state. @jcoatestimber can tell you more about the impact to MS timber growers.

Climate and history:
since UN Secretary General is talking about supersized El Niño， let's revisit the most extreme El Niño event in the last 800 years. The multi-year drought famine in the late 1870s.
The worst hit countries of the 1870s Great Droughts were India, China, Egypt, Morocco, Ethiopia, southern Africa, Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. In China alone， a staggering estimation of 9.5-13 million people perished because of starvation. Global deaths were estimated to be around 50 million.
As a serious student about climate， I don't buy the net zero narrative because I know climate history including cases like this.
The world in late 1870s was almost net zero. Green house gas emissions caused by fossil fuel burning was less than 2% of today's value， the CO2 concentration was around 290 ppm. Yet， all these didn't prevent the worst weather disaster in the last 800 years. Climate has always been changing， and nature sometimes can be brutal， simply because of natural variations of the climate. Net zero today will not prevent similar natural variance from happening again.
Industrialization and innovation are the best and most important measures to build civilizational resilience, regardless whether climate change is driven by natural variance or man made. Yet net zero frenzy is driving industrialized countries towards de-industrialization (the UK and Germany are the most salient examples), and preventing least developed countries from industrializing. They are exactly the wrong measures to deal with climate change.
Long form article with scientific references is linked in reply.
We've entered a new age of climate extremes:
A supersized El Niño is colliding with a planet already superheated by climate change.
The latest @WMO report shows once again that leaders must get serious by cutting emissions faster, accelerating a just transition from fossil fuels & delivering the finance & protection vulnerable countries need.

The fact UN climate conferences are not held on Zoom meetings is all the proof that you need that the “climate crisis” is a government-sponsored scam.

You have to laugh at how ridiculous it is that this is true. Earn it, taxed. Spend it, taxed. Invest it, taxed. Die, taxed. The one activity the government performs flawlessly, and then it asks for more because it ran out. There is a word for taking a cut of every exchange. Racket.

"The reason why a lot of right-wing people get upset and angry about the Charlie Kirk jokes is, unironically, many of us are Charlie Kirk. What do I mean by that? What I mean by that is Charlie Kirk was not a violent person, he was not an evil person, he was a family man, and he wanted to have open conversations with people he disagreed with. He was just an average guy.
So whenever they're saying they're happy that Charlie Kirk is dead, what they're really saying is that they would be happy if YOU were dead. They would be happy if you were the one that got killed. And everybody instinctively knows that.
That's the reason why people take the Charlie Kirk jokes so seriously. Because they know that they're not really jokes and they know that Charlie Kirk is just a stand-in for what this ideology is. So to the extent that you agree with Charlie Kirk, they would also agree with your death, too."—asmongold

There was little excuse for falling for socialism even before it was tried. Its failures were predictable from its principles.
After a century of evidence, there's even less excuse.
Yet the ideas keep resurfacing because blaming capitalism, scapegoating the successful, and demanding someone else's wealth is easier than admitting your own failures and taking responsibility for improving your life.

Mark, you started by saying we have no idea what healthcare costs to buy or to provide in this country. None. Then your conclusion is to propose that the people who cannot see the costs should be the ones to run it.
There is a reason nobody knows what anything costs, and you listed it yourself. Medicaid, Medicare, supplemental plans, Medicare Advantage, self insured employers under a tax code that hides the premium in the paycheck. Every layer you named is a government program or a government created structure, and in every one of them the person getting the care is not the person paying for it. That is where the price went. Prices exist where buyers pay. Remove the buyer and you get exactly the fog you are describing. Universal care removes every buyer who is left.
Then look at what you are asking for. Every private contract in the industry published by federal order. Every claim in the country handed to state and federal researchers. The DOJ turned loose on the pricing structure. Bipartisan legislation to work out what care we need to provide and what it should cost. That is not a market reform. That is the state seizing the information of an entire industry so it can set the terms of trade for every doctor, hospital, and patient in the country. You call the conglomerates Too Big To Care. The entity you want running it is the only one with a monopoly on force.
And the number. The post you are replying to has CBO at $3 trillion a year in new federal spending, 21.4 percent of payroll, with the author conceding it is illustrative and not scored. You respond that nobody knows the real cost and we should find out after we commit. No investor you have ever met would fund a company on those terms, and you have never funded one that way yourself. Only government gets to spend money first and discover the price later, because only government can send the bill to people who did not agree to it.
The information asymmetry you are describing is not a reason to negotiate blind. It is a reason to stop having a single buyer negotiating at all. Put the patient back in the transaction and prices appear on their own. Cost Plus is proof that you already know this.
Mises showed a century ago that a planner without prices cannot calculate, Hayek showed why the knowledge he needs is never in one place, and Rand showed why he has no right to try. You are proposing to prove all three wrong with a commission while you admit no one has any idea how much all of it will cost. Do you think they did not know what they were talking about, or do you just not want to find out?
We have no idea what healthcare costs to buy or costs to provide in this country. None.
States cover Medicaid at some level, but not all offer the same care. Nor do they all receive federal support in the same way.
Traditional Medicare requires supplemental and drug coverage. All of which differ by plan, and are offered by mostly huge conglomerates we should break up and are Too Big To Care
Medicare Advantage is all offered by those same Too Big To Care conglomerates. Every contract with a provider differs and while those contracts have pricing that is transparent, the fees and other charges are not.
67 pct of employees that get coverage from work get it from a self insured employer. I can tell you with absolute certainty that most get it from the same conglomerates as well. As a results they have zero idea how much they are paying for medical care or medications (even with recent legislation)
Every thing that is covered and paid for in this country has an actual cost, across the direct costs and indirect costs, that is hidden by the Too Big to Care conglomerates that should be broken up.
Market Dominant hospitals and most non profit hospitals are not innocent. They play along when they have to, use their own leverage when they can. Increasing the cost of care.
And the PBMs that are owned by the conglomerates have bastardized the cost of brand and specialty drugs in a way that should be investigated by the DOJ.
Put simply , HUGE dominant distributors are forced by PBMs to pay RETAIL Price for drugs that make them unaffordable to everyone.
If we want universal care, we can say the Feds will negotiate , but the information asymmetry is so insane, they will be negotiating blind.
The first thing a bi partisan legislation should do is require that all healthcare contracts be made public with no redactions other than personal information
AND
All claims be de-identified and available exclusively to state and federal researchers to determine what care and medications COULD cost.
Then we can start to extrapolate what care we need to provide and then determine what it costs and whether it will save or cost us money.
In parallel we can determine how we will deal with the technology and processes to handle implementation of some version of universal care

To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting.
My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives.
A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.
You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard.
Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.

The Weaponisation of Language
One of the most effective tactics of the modern left has been the corruption of language itself. Words that once had clear meaning have been twisted beyond recognition - redefined to suit their agenda and silence dissent.
They call censorship “safety.”
They call propaganda “education.”
They call perversion “pride.”
They call cowardice “tolerance.”
They call patriotism “hate.”
Through manipulation of words, they’ve managed to reshape moral reality. By controlling the language, they control what people are allowed to think. Change the definition, and you change the debate.
When “man” and “woman” become “identities,” when truth becomes “offensive,” and when disagreement is rebranded as “violence,” reason itself is under attack.
It’s not ignorance - it’s strategy. Because when the meaning of words collapses, truth becomes whatever they say it is. And that’s exactly how control begins.
Language built our civilisation. The twisting of it will destroy it - unless we start speaking plainly again.
“When words lose their meaning, people lose their freedom.” - Confucius

The day almost got away from me as I was busy focusing on the midterm aftermath.
On Victims of Communism Day, let us remember the hundreds of millions of lives destroyed under Communist regimes—and pray that America will be spared the same fate.
I was once a victim of Communism. I don’t want to see that happen to me again—or to Americans on either side of the political divide.
But remember: Communism spares no one. Not even Communists themselves.
@RonDeSantis, thank you for making this a day of remembrance.
