"Your homeschooled kids need socialization."

"They have 5 siblings and 17 cousins they hang out with a lot."

"Not like that."

"We go to church twice a week and they talk with all sorts of people."

"Not like that."

"They do intramural sports and play with all sorts of other kids."

"Not like that."

"There are lots of kids in the neighborhood and at the local park they interact with."

"Not like that."

"Our homeschool co-op meets once per week, with parents rotating as teachers."

"Not like that."

"Ok. So...what do you mean by socialization then?"

"You need to send them away every single day to sit with children their own age for 6 hours. And let me teach them with no supervision from you."

"Oh. No thanks."

@BernieSanders Unions drive up costs which makes it more expensive for normal people to buy things they need… Unions benefit their workers (which is fine, all good) but let’s not pretend like Unions are good for normal non-union workers.

@SamHoppen You’d call another run too if you had Bijan Robinson

@GavinNewsom I disagree with 90% of what you do, but thank you on this one.

We laughed when the Bible said, “Run from sexual immorality.”

Now a whole generation is being raised in broken homes, born from broken vows.

God wasn’t trying to kill the vibe. He was trying to kill the curse. But we didn’t listen…

@FOS I don’t watch anymore post-NIL. Ruined the feel of it.

[Herc @CTUhercules]

@PermitZIPhvac @CalebMPowers Because other people’s kids are my kids peers and future voters.

@CalebMPowers Think about how bad public school would have to be for me to turn down this offer

This is what fiscal discipline buys you.

Listen carefully to Governor Kemp here.

Georgia can suspend the gas tax today because for years we resisted Democrat calls to spend every dollar that came through the door.

While other states struggle with deficits, Georgia has built historic reserves, cut taxes, paid down debt, and now can step in when gas prices spike.

Your occasional reminder that "Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor" is Marxist revisionism.

Robin Hood stole from an out of control, high tax state and returned the money to the taxpayers.

@ChrisMartzWX @BrianKempGA Also a beast - quite the Georgia + Florida tag team.

Power selects for a specific personality type, and it is not yours.

F.A. Hayek spelled this out in 1944. In a centrally planned system, the people who rise are not the most competent or the most honest. They are the most willing to exercise force against strangers, the most comfortable with contradiction, and the most skilled at coalition-building through favors rather than merit. Government filters for the bad ones from the start.

The mechanism is straightforward. Political power means controlling resources you did not earn. Capturing that control requires outcompeting rivals who have no ethical constraints. A principled candidate refuses to promise contradictory things to different voter blocs. An unprincipled one does it without blinking. The unprincipled one wins. Repeat this selection pressure across hundreds of electoral cycles and you get the U.S. Congress in 2026: a body where the average member has held office for over a decade, raised millions from interested parties, and delivered almost nothing measurable to the people who voted for them.

Bureaucracy compounds the problem. Once entrenched, state agencies attract people who want authority without accountability. You cannot fire most of them. The FDA, the TSA, the Federal Reserve all function this way, staffed by individuals whose career advancement depends on expanding the agency's reach, never on serving you efficiently.
