Flooding a country with millions of illegals, then pushing to block voter ID, is an extremist (democrat) view.

Prove me wrong, I'll wait.

Minnesota is not acting in good faith as part of our union.
They worked out long ago, voter rolls were the key (DMV), and dead & moved out of state people were an important part of the scheme. Exclusion from federal elections should be the consequence. Disenfranchising their own people should not be tolerated.

Rome handed out free grain to 40,000 citizens in 73 BC. By 46 BC, Julius Caesar found 320,000 people lining up for their monthly ration. That eight-fold expansion happened in under three decades, and it shows you how welfare states actually grow.

No Roman senator stood up and announced a plan to addict a third of the city to government bread. It happened incrementally, through political competition. Each magistrate who wanted votes expanded eligibility. Each expansion normalized the next one. The citizen who once considered the dole shameful eventually expected it, then demanded it, then organized politically to protect it.

This is the core mechanism free market thinkers have identified across every era: once you create a transfer program, you create a constituency for that program. Recipients vote. Administrators build careers. Grain merchants who supply the state develop a stake in keeping the contracts flowing. The political economy locks in.

Caesar, to his credit, actually cut the rolls back to 150,000 through verification audits. It was one of his more economically coherent moves, though the Senate still murdered him. His successors quietly let the numbers climb again.

What did the dole require? Massive grain imports from Sicily, Sardinia, and Egypt, organized through state logistics at state expense, funded by taxation and conquest. When the conquest revenue dried up, the obligation remained. Rome had written a check against future military success, and future military success eventually failed to arrive.

The lesson is not complicated. Distribute a benefit and you distribute dependency. Distribute dependency and you distribute political power to whoever controls the distribution. The grain dole didn't weaken Rome overnight, but it made every subsequent reform politically impossible.

@CharlesPPierce Imagine being this dumb! Clowns like you think you can tax your way out of this! 🤡😂

This is super simple:

SEC enforces conference transfer rule;
Conference files injunction to be able to enforce its own rules ala Big12 vs TT;
All teams refuse to schedule LSU;
NCAA says any game he plays in is forfeited;
Full frontal assault vs LSU by member schools

It’ll die.

Now that we have NFL players officially returning to college a week before the season outside of the portal window….When will someone in Columbus, Ohio have the balls to restore the 2010 12-1 season lost over tattoos

@ScottPresler The easiest way to defund sanctuary cities and States is to stop counting illegals towards representation in DC.
The whole paradigm of the Commie run blue areas would implode upon itself. No cash, no prizes, equals no incentive to protect the illegals.

[Biagio @Buckeyes247]

@ScottPresler I bill must be passed that only American citizens count towards the census…everyone else if identified should be arrested and deported! End birthright citizenship too…make it retroactive!

Once upon a time, a nation called Persia gave shelter to 4,000 Muslims.

100 years later, the Parsis were wiped out from their own home.

Today, that nation is Iran.
Just thought you should know.

One of the most eloquent explanations of immigration you’ll ever hear.

Milton Friedman had an extraordinary ability to cut through the political bullshit and explain complicated issues with simple economic logic.

Still relevant today. 🎯

[Kimberly DeRosa 🇺🇸 @K_DeRosa_NY135]

Paying taxes should be like paying for a service.

How it is meant to work:

I pay taxes. Government maintains roads, builds & maintains infrastructure, enforces laws, etc.

How it actually works:

I pay taxes. Politicians get a crazy idea, schmooze with some lobbyists, dump MY money into some useless thing or pretend to “save the world”, etc. — while neglecting all of the previously-stated boring, essential stuff.

[Biagio @Buckeyes247]

@RandPaul Explain to us what the government accomplished while spending $40 trillion over budget?!! We all would have been better off keeping our own $$. Now the dollar lost all its value and you didn’t solve a single issue! Shrink the government big time.

[Biagio @Buckeyes247]

@RandPaul Balancing the budget in 10 years is craziness!!! It needs to happen now!! No more CRs…your guys need to earn your $$ and not be on vacation all the time…pass single issue bills to get rid of the pork from the omnibuses!! Weak men are in the GOP!

@FreyjaTarte This lady is an absolute nut job! I will never forgive her for what she did during Covid and then ran and hid…that is not a person that deserves to be governor!

[Biagio @Buckeyes247]

@poo_overboard @craig_wrigley @RandPaul Are you suggesting that they don’t get money from the government?! Because we all know that do get tax payers money!
