@grok helped me create this image. It's how I think patriots of all stripes should seek to move forward politically.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is so thoughtfully constructed. The satire of just about everything is cutting and ahead of its time. It’s really a perfect movie outside of Charlie’s mom’s stupid fucking song.

This is the same activist a Vanity Fair reporter brought to my pro-data center party under the guise of doing journalism. Then when the activist started booing our speeches, she played the victim when the people in front of her legitimately thought she was mooing

Impeaching Hegseth looks like the Dems’ first big win. But it may very well backfire on them.
Massie handed them the weapon on his way out, and Dems can’t resist using it.
Jeffries is already a hard yes and Schumer wants a trial.
Dems are spending the political capital of their new majorities before the new Congress is even seated, and a performative Hegseth trial could eat their first months in power.
Voters ranked cost of living first.
And “end the war” never meant “leave on any terms.” Leaving Iran with a toll booth on the Strait is an outcome that no one would confuse with victory, and it isn’t free.
The War Powers charges are the shakiest part. Clinton bombed Kosovo for 78 days without authorization. Obama blew past the 60-day clock in Libya.
Nobody impeached their defense secretaries.
Removal takes 67 votes in a full Senate. Dems may have 56. They could burn months on a trial that lowers no price and won’t remove him.
Meanwhile there is governing work on the table. Work with Rs on permitting so energy and infrastructure can get built.
Cut a deal on the tariffs raising prices at the register. Go after the supply limits that make housing and electricity expensive.
But doing so means facing their own record. The $1.9T ARP poured demand into an economy that couldn’t supply it, and the result is the same price level voters just made Rs pay for.
Dems may find out that winning an election and understanding why you won are two very different things.

Makes sense.
The US is at full employment and the poverty rate is at a record low, yet 1 in 8 people were enrolled in SNAP last year.
The Agriculture Department is proposing to sharply restrict eligibility for federal food assistance, a change it estimates would cut millions of people from the program. washingtonsun.com/administra…
It’s wrong to outright hate Muslims or to act like most American Muslims are something other than regular people trying their best. But it’s also silly to ask this question because Muslims are uniquely responsible for so much misery and death worldwide.

Would have been nice to, ya know, back us up against them in the first place.
BREAKING:
France’s intelligence agencies have discovered that Iran was behind the cyberattacks against French grocery stores during which freezers and fridges had their temperatures increased up to 50C.
Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot says Iran will face consequences for it

The absurdity of this cannot be understated. So many people will max out their cards
Businesses would even get in on the scam if in junk territory

When I was in high school, during Ramadan, I used to sit in the lunchroom with all of my friends (all of whom were not Muslim) and just hung with them while they ate (I was fasting). I even fasted during football practice and games (no water even).
If you can’t withstand a test like watching someone else eat in front of you while you’re fasting, what are we even doing here?
Dear non-Muslims,
As Ramadan is just 92 days away,
Please avoid eating in front of Muslims who are fasting.
Please avoid drinking in their presence.
Do not deliberately tempt those observing the fast.
Muslims will be fasting from dawn until sunset.
A little consideration and respect go a long way. ❤️🌙

What she actually said: “I’m in the grocery store, and I see his hot sauce. I want to buy it. It’s the little things. You know, his cloths everywhere.”
The level of depravity it takes to attack a widow by claiming that’s a “promo” for hot sauce is hard to fathom.

Ideas that sound good but have repeatedly backfired:
- Rent control (reduces supply and raises rents)
- Price controls (leads to rationing)
- Home loan subsidies (increases defaults and causes market crashes)
- Extremely progressive tax brackets (high earners have much higher income variance, sometimes going negative, so a bad year leads to massive budget shortfalls and debt)
- High capital gains taxes (too many investments fall below the zero-risk return rate, stalling the economy)
- Increasing the money supply (compounding inflation decreases purchasing power)
Indisputable economic and historical evidence shows these policies do not work. Yet politicians who know this keep promising them, and voters keep falling for it. I can’t blame educators or the media, as even they tell voters these policies do not work.
What’s the solution? I don’t believe in making people pass an Econ test to vote, but how many times do we let them drive into a wall?
