I'd been looking at PAC contributions when I should have been looking at the people who actually have daily access to the Capitol - the media. The true lobbyists.

Punchbowl News represents a whole lot of powerful industries and they are unflinching admirers of Senate Majority Leader John Thune.

John Thune is the "paid influencer ecosystem." 𝕏 merely exposed how that machinery works in the Senate.

Just look at the posts of @AndrewDesiderio , their senior Senate "correspondent." Almost every single one is about defeating the SAVE America Act and praising Thune.

Punchbowl isn't shy about where their money comes from. Founder Jack Sherman himself admitted that 90% of Punchbowl's revenue is from "corporate sponsorships." They made 10 million dollars in revenue their first year... what kind of "journalist" company pulls that off?

The podcast featuring them outright describes their business model as getting their money from "sponsorships bought by trade groups and companies looking to get their public affairs messaging in front of those making and influencing policy."

Punchbowl got in ethical hot water when they treated a whole bunch of lobbyists to luxury box seats at a NFL game.

If you want to know why SAVE America Act is being slow-walked...

Start with @PunchbowlNews .

Strengthen him, Lord.

Give him energy and clarity.

Give him your peace and wisdom.

Guard and guide his heart and mind.

Send legions of angels to protect him.

Ease his cares and give him good rest.

Cause his enemies to stumble and panic.

In Jesus name, Amen!

I already ripped this lady earlier today, but I have been reflecting on her post more and wanted to make an additional point.

I have traveled extensively in Europe, and while it may be the modern world, Europeans are vastly more hung up on matters of economic and social class, titles of nobility, differences in ethnicity and differences in race than America is.

Despite its long history of attempting to be egalitarian, class still matters in Europe. Titles of nobility still matter. Generational wealth from centuries back still matters. Look at the stiffs in the photo. How many of them earned it?

Americans of European descent escaped Europe to get away from that ossified class structure and to make their own way with unlimited opportunity, and that vision still separates us from Europe culturally and intellectually.

In the movie "Gettysburg,” Jeff Daniels—playing Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain—delivered an amazing soliloquy, an excerpt of which goes like this:

"America should be free ground -- all of it. Not divided by a line between slave state and free -- all the way, from here to the Pacific Ocean. No man has to bow. No man born to royalty. Here, we judge you by what you do, not by who your father was. Here, you can be something. Here, is the place to build a home.

But it's not the land. There's always more land.

It's the idea that we all have value -- you and me.”

THAT is the spirit and soul of the United States of America, and is what still separates us from Europe to this very day.

@redheadranting See the smile awaitin' in the kitchen
Through cookin' and the plates for two
Feel the arms that reach out to hold me
In the evening when the day is through

This verse sounds like he is absolutely pleased with his home life. A place of refuge, warmth and relief — not resentment

@redheadranting I’m in.
