@elonmusk Professional Politicians pitch Liberty without Responsibility, Choices without Consequences.

Like Inflation after the Great Suppression and Nancy Pelosi's credit card binge, with Medicaid Insolvency approaching in 2026, the immigration hawks' chickens are coming home to roost.

Trump's 50% Tariff Just Exposed What Carney Is Really Protecting

As President Trump has leveraged tariffs in his efforts to reshore manufacturing and reduce the trade deficit, did you know that China and Canada have been the only countries to retaliate?
Susan Kokinda (@sjkokinda ) demonstrates that the issue is not a simple U.S.–Canada dispute, it's a broader conflict about sovereignty vs empire.
Just look at how Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is staffing his government with figures tied to the British Crown and globalist institutions: trade minister Dominic LeBlanc also leads King Charles’s Privy Council, new Chief Operating Officer Maia Johnson is an American Democratic operative linked to Clinton and Bloomberg networks, and new the Governor General Louise Arbour comes from UN legal roles associated with the International Criminal Court.
Under Carney, Canada is not a nation, it's the new home address for the British Empire, and President Trump's new Canadian tariffs must be seen in that light.

Correct - if the 10th Amendment actually applied, States’ welfare spending would be paid not by Federal Debt dollars, but by local taxes…and state politicians would have to become more accountable. Waste, Fraud and Abuse could not be waved away by “the federal government should be providing the oversight and enforcement”.

Having been in a relationship with a workforce development i.e. “welfare to work” nonprofit executive for 15 years, I can attest that in MA and ME, State DHHS employees and their contractors never say to their clients:

“Maybe you should move to another state with more job opportunities and/or lower cost of living”

They’d rather shower mothers with welfare money on college credentials, regardless of whether their chosen major is needed by area employers at substantially higher, let alone above median, wage rates.

Then of course comes the “I’m applying for disability” racket…popular with locals and immigrants from worn-torn countries alike.

You don’t look too young, so you must be too stupid, to remember the Contract with America and the 1994 Republican Revolution, ending 40 years of Democrat control of the House of Representatives.

Or you’re just being a Dem homer who is being deliberately obtuse.

Everything Democrats touch becomes more expensive - the argument against Republicans is they don’t slow the damage quickly enough, as they attempt to keep a private sector economy that has been distorted and over-subsidized by government spending & debt, growing instead of crashing, and therefore become junior partners in the Me Generation’s inter-generational Pelosi scheme.

After Thune passes the SAVE Act, maybe Trump would be willing to sign a “Domestic Herd Recovery Act”,with investment subsidies to reverse the destructive effects of Biden Administration rules.

The Senate can both support lower short-term prices and larger future domestic production.

There is no Will to share the Cost with Retired Boomers, most importantly by Reforming Healthcare and Social Security.

Government’s Debt-Paid IOUs that accelerated in 2010 and Sub-Cost Reimbursements already Wreck the Budget, while exploding the National Taxpayer Credit Card’s Interest Charges over $1T, more than what is spent on Defense.

The “artificial stability” of this Inter-Generational Pelosi Scheme keeping their retirement accounts growing is already teetering, as GenXers witness their parents burning through $100-200k+ annual payments to already understaffed eldercare facilities.

So the childless Me Generation grey hairs who once led “My Body, My Choice” protests now lead “Hands Off” and “No Kings” chants, because they are now faced with “My Choices, My Consequences” after nearly 60 years of sub-replacement birth rates.

Medicare for All, Obamacare Subsidies, Rent Control and Student Loan Debt Forgiveness are the Vote Buying mechanisms the Boomer Dems use on the Young and Oblivious to distract and keep the Pelosi Scheme funded.

The Senate’s 60-Vote Cloture Rule is the Excuse to Deflect, 50 of whom are already Social Security eligible and taking Euro-style summer vacations to na and fundraise.

@courtneyknill I’m alll for speeding up how EPA and Dept of Energy, Interior et al, plus State counterparts, in support of necessary shared Infrastructure Development WHILE lowering taxpayer costs/improving reliability

From State EIA Data to COLA Indexes to Citizen In/Out-Migration to Where Mfg Investment is Going, etc. etc., such a “moral equivalency” argument falls apart.

However, if we wish to limit the discussion not to States’ Relative Competitive but to the Federal Government’s Cost & Regulatory Overhead, let us start by comparing the parties via Congress’ “Power of the Purse”, remembering Gingrich effectively balanced the budget, then Clinton signed it.

@RonPaul Time for the GOP Senate to cancel their European-style Summer Vacations, Nuke the Filibuster and WORK to AT LEAST HALVE their Budget Deficit.

I didn’t know we did “partisan homer” on our side - but I understand that nobody wants to be captain of the Titanic when the music stops and the ship sinks into the abyss.

Especially after 60 years of sub-replacement birth rates.

A Generation (20 years) of Swiss Debt Brake + Real Private Sector Economic Growth of 5-6% + Individual Savings/Self-Sufficiency Growth? Maybe…but not just 2-3% or even the decades-absent 4%.

@DataRepublican The Response of Marxist Feminists to Republicans pointing out that according to their Dem Governments, Murdering a Child outside the Womb is Illegal, yet inside the Womb should be Legal…is to Demand outside the Womb be Legal too.

@PattyMurray Right…says the Democrat who for so long has added to the Debt in the Senate, she represents the 1 Vote that KEPT the Senate from Passing 1996’s Balanced Budget Amendment Act.

…even though 11 Democrats, including Biden, voted YEA.

Keep Gaslighting.

Oh good, pissing off Dem and GOP voters 🎯

- a Va Tech grad and Republican biding my time in the People’s Republic of Portland, whose daughters deserve Accountability & Justice for what the Dem-supporting NC Teachers Unions did to them during the Great Suppression out of the latter’s medieval, irrational fear.

@beinlibertarian If only 17 years after the Tea Party began, and nearly 10 years after I voted for Gov. Gary Johnson, the Libertarians were actually a Viable Party with more than low-single-digit Voting Power.

Sadly, the LP missed their Overton Window.
