We gave you guys the House in 2010 to stop Obama.
You did nothing.
You had the House during Trump’s first term.
You did nothing.
We gave it to you again in 2022 to stop Biden.
You did nothing.
You’ve had it for almost 2yrs in Trump’s second term. You passed a Communist Housing Bill and are kicking around an amnesty for agriculture workers.
Just. Stop.
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
Republicans are in charge because we promised:
to Make America Healthy Again.
to start No New Wars,
to put people above corporations,
to put America above foreign countries,
to release the Epstein files,
to not spy on citizens,
to eliminate fraud,
what the hell happened?!
The average person: I really enjoy spending time with family, watching football, hiking and hunting, and going to movies. Politically, I’m most concerned about the rising cost of living.
Mark Levin:
“As an Israeli you should pause before using the phrase ‘terror regime.’ Since you live in a country that murdered thousands of children in Gaza.
It’s a little hard to hear that from an Israeli right now, I have to say.”
— Tucker Carlson to Israel’s Channel 13.
This CBS interview w Thomas Massie is insane.
Massie: “my policy has always been, no country is special and no country deserves my constituents’ taxpayer dollars.
So I’ve never voted for foreign aid, to Egypt, to Syria, to Israel or to Ukraine… but the ones in Israel … they are the biggest recipients so they are mad.” […]
CBS: “…are you antisemitic?”
