Husband, father & grandfather, farmer & former tech executive. Loving freedom should not be a left or right-wing thing.

Fredrick Douglass published 3 autobiographies during his lifetime, each time expanding on the previous one. The 1845 "Narrative" was his biggest seller. In 1855, he published "My Bondage & My Freedom." In 1881, he published "Life & Times of Frederick Douglass."

When I was a child, my grandfather would sometimes solemnly intone at the dinner table: "The purpose of socialism is to organize scarcity."

As a kid it sort-of didn't register in my brain as meaning anything beyond "socialism bad", but eventually when I was 12 or something, I did ask what he meant by those specific words.

And he said: socialists establish control of valuable resources and then create an artificial scarcity of these resources, so that they can then use them as a tool of control by deciding who gets and doesn't get those resources.

And I thought that was wrong. I mean, are socialists misguided? Sure. But to claim that they deliberately create scarcity as a means of political control? That seemed far-fetched.

But, of course, he was entirely correct.

@JimHansonDC This is not good for people who have a problem regulating their body temperature, such as the elderly or the ill.

🚨 UPDATE: Mayor Zohran Mamdani is getting EATEN ALIVE for calling on New Yorkers to surge their thermostat up to 78 degrees because the city is having a hard time keeping up with energy needs

"Spencer Pratt...COMMUNISM always goes the same way. First they promised you the world, free this, free that, abundance for all. How? Don't ask. And they get into power and the rationing begins — first a smiley ask, then a demand, then a bullet. You use too much energy, comrade!"

Never gonna happen!

@eeveeithink Millions died under Stalin & Mao. Communism/Socialism has never worked!

@annbauerwriter Our national parks are a treasure. I like to visit them in during the spring & fall when they are less busy.

🚨 Meet the National DSA Leader Defending a “Community Force Under Communism”

Hazel Williams sits on DSA’s National Political Committee, formerly co-chaired California DSA, and helped craft the language in DSA’s new platform calling for “steps towards abolishing the carceral forces of the capitalist state.”

Williams makes clear that “abolish the police” does not necessarily mean no enforcement structure ever. It means abolishing police as a force of the capitalist state. In her own words, she does not mean abolishing “some community force under communism” that can “hold each other accountable.”

The leaders from the “Commie Caucuses,” DSA’s own internal term, are often the ones pushing the organization further and further left, while the media still debates whether DSA really means the radical things it says.

As media talking heads rush to condemn Trump for calling DSA electeds Communist, have they bothered to look at DSA’s board of directors, its National Political Committee, which is now majority Communist?

@annbauerwriter @audrawrongspeak The optimal temperature is 68 to 74 degrees. Older people have a more difficult time regulating their body temperature. They may not feel they are overheating, but they can be without knowing.

@VigilantFox Maybe @TheoVon does not realize that some of the people working for the UN actually participated in the October 7th attack.

@jamal_sare1037 @DouglasKMurray @TheFP There are many films about Catholic Priests abusing children. Why do you have a problem with a movie plot where someone takes revenge on Muslim Rapists?

@omni_american @DStrungk From an "originalist" POV, I do not see how an amendment that was written to provide citizenship to former slave could apply to foreigners using birth tourism.

I remember when I worked at CNN and saw @davidaxelrod in the green room. Asked a question that continues to befuddle me. Never got a satisfying response. Here goes again: During entire SCOTUS history, when has there EVER been a liberal justice — appointed by a Democrat POTUS — considered to be a “swing vote,” in the tradition of a Justice Anthony Kennedy. So rare to see the three liberal justices on the current court now EVER act as a “swing vote.”

And yet, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, ACB, and Chief Justice Roberts (MANY TIMES) side with the liberal wing. Why? Think that Sotomayor or Kagan or KBJ would EVER take a *consequential position not aligned with their preferred ideology? Serious question. Why are “swing votes” almost always right to left? 🤔

@AhmadRehanKhan This is about a remembrance of deaths that occurred from Muslims killing each other. Just as @GadSaad has explained, Islam is clearly the religion of peace.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

I'm all for diversity. It enriches the parent culture and does wonders for creativity

But multiculturalism involves many cultures, not just one. So a culture that threatens domination over all the others is not one that advances multiculturalism

Multiculturalism demand respect for all cultures

It does not just demand respect for itself

Senator Fetterman BLASTS his own party for electing communist Darializa Avila Chevalier in New York, who PRAISES dictators like Joseph Stalin

FETTERMAN: “I mean, she was praising Kim and Stalin! Between those two men 100 million people murdered!”

“Some of the most evil and terrible people in the world or in history and she was praising them, saying we don't have enough of their books in our libraries.”

“Of course, she deleted those things but this is not ancient history.”

“This is all recent views people like this we are electing!”

@NickKristof @christopherrufo Show the numbers. There were close to 600,000 people dying from Malaria before and after the DOGE cuts. Floods & drug-resistant strains of Malaria are the root cause of these deaths.

[Bruno Buckeye @BrunoBuckeye]

@elonmusk @thejefflutz I hope your security is tight. Remember what happened to Charlie Kirk. Meanwhile, 2 million Africans have recently died from violent armed conflicts. Why are there so few stories about this? Is it because it is mostly Muslims killing Muslims (the religion of Peace)?

[Bruno Buckeye @BrunoBuckeye]

@JamesSurowiecki The facts are that the predictions were wrong! There was not a large spike in deaths. The aid given to stop Malaria does not stop nearly 600,000 people from dying from Malaria each year. Floods & drug-resistant strains make it very difficult.

[Bruno Buckeye @BrunoBuckeye]

@nickmmark Your moral calculus is wrong. 0n average, over 570,000 people die each year from Malaria. The huge spike if deaths from the transition of aid being managed by USAID to the US State Department never happened!

@realsashastone How many Palestinian, Republic of Iran, Somali, or Ukrainian flags are there?

@billmaher, double standard?

[MAZE @mazemoore]

Bill Maher told JD Vance that the right has to stop claiming that an election (2020) was illegitimate because they lost.

Here’s Bill Maher’s show the day after Trump’s inauguration in 2017. They claimed Trump didn’t legitimately win.
