I prefer Dumboliticians. Both parties have their heads up their rears and have for a long time. We didn’t get $40+ Trillion in debt because of any one party. Republicans control the House, Senate and Executive and can’t get a voter ID bill passed. Both parties are getting rich off the taxpayers backs.

@KariLake He does nothing for Arizona. Spends all his time traveling to other states to lend support to his fellow leftist candidates. When he is here, he only goes to his friendly tribes.

Let me break it down in a simple way that I’ve been reporting from the beginning.
To invent a vaccine for a disease that didn’t exist, our scientific Einsteins used taxpayer money to partner with communist China to create the dangerous virus in a lab—So that they could create a vaccine for it.
Covid was a result of primarily US funded vaccine research, and that’s the thing they could not let you know.
They stopped at nothing to obfuscate, misdirect, cover their tracks, protect themselves, and controversialize anyone telling the truth.
The scientific establishment and media aided and abetted.
I can think of no more impactful, crimes and violations that have occurred in our lifetime.

The perfect example is the biofuels grift. Americans are forced to sacrifice 3–5% of their MPG and pay more for cars simply to provide corporate welfare to the biofuels industry and its dependents. Corn Belt politicians from both parties feed at the trough from Big Ag and falsely perpetuate the grift in the name of cleaner air (which it doesn’t deliver), energy security (we have plenty of oil and natural gas), and family farms (they could grow food instead). Trump is up to his neck in the scam to win the popularity contest for votes.

Here’s an interesting comparison. Cuba versus Taiwan. Both countries are roughly the same age but took very different paths after their founding. Cuba vs Taiwan Comparison (2025-2026)

Metric | Cuba | Taiwan
------------------------|-------------------------------|--------------------------------
Population | ~11.2 million | ~23.2 million
GDP (nominal) | ~$126 billion | ~$1.05 trillion
GDP per capita | ~$11,000–12,000 | ~$36,000–45,000
GDP growth (recent) | 1–2% (stagnant) | 3–4%+ (tech-driven)
Political System | One-party communist | Multi-party democracy
Press Freedom | Very low (repressed) | High (free)
HDI | Medium (~0.78) | Very High (~0.92)
Life Expectancy | ~78–79 years | ~81 years
Major Exports | Sugar, nickel, tobacco | Semiconductors, electronics
Internet Freedom | Heavily restricted | Fully open

Key takeaway: Similar islands, very different systems & results.

@Mantisfarmer69 @catturd2 I am a history lover, so much so, that I think you’re full of what owls leave on the fence. Why don’t you give me examples of Republicans being as racist as the Democrats were when everyone voted against the Equal Rights Amendment just a little over 60 years ago.

We’re not going to need luck. We’ll need commitment to enforcing what the text actually says. We’re ahead of the game since off we blew the crap out of their facilities, buried their enriched uranium under tons of dirt and changed the ayatollah and several of his nuclear buddies into pink mist.

[Sagacious Soul @IdeaRat55]

Paragraph 8 8. The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms that it shall not procure or develop nuclear weapons. United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran have agreed to resolve the disposition of stockpile enriched material pursuant to a mechanism that will be mutually agreed upon in accordance with the schedule mentioned in Paragraph 7 with the minimum methodology to be downblending on site under the supervision of the IAEA. The two parties also agreed to discuss the issue of enrichment and other mutually agreed matters related to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear needs, based on a satisfactory framework being agreed upon in the final deal. The final deal will confirm the provisions of this paragraph. The United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran acknowledge the critical importance of the nuclear issues above mentioned and express their intention to immediately address these issues in the negotiations in order to achieve mutual agreement on them.

1) The US already collects FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS OF TAX REVENUE A YEAR. The idea that you need to collect even more taxes — when you parasites already confiscate the equivalent of Elon’s entire net worth five times over, every year — is lunacy. Stop wasting billions of dollars a month of stupid bullshit. How about that for an idea?

2) We do not need more children in taxpayer funded daycare centers. Our goal should be precisely the opposite of that. We need more women at home raising their kids.

[Sagacious Soul @IdeaRat55]

@RubenGallego @IndependentsCS Okay, explain why it's a "worse deal". Put some context to that opinion. Not all of us are so "fucking stupid" to believe you, just because you said it.

[Sagacious Soul @IdeaRat55]

Just because he's leaving the door open to Iran enriching, doesn't mean to the level needed for a nuclear bomb. That's a nuance you won't consider with your overtly partisan brain. You'd never admit it, but the world is safer now that we've taken away Iran's ability to make a bomb.

In 1956, the federal government opened thirty-three eleven-story towers in St. Louis. By 1972 the city was dynamiting them on live television. Sixteen years. That is the lifespan of one of the most celebrated public housing projects in American history, a complex that won an architecture award from the same profession that designed it.

Pruitt-Igoe cost about $36 million to build, funded under the Housing Act of 1949 and the dreams of planners who believed you could engineer the poor into prosperity by stacking them in concrete. Minoru Yamasaki drew the towers (he later designed the World Trade Center, which also came down on television, though that is another story). The men who approved the project answered to no price signal, no profit, no loss. They spent other people's money on buildings nobody chose to live in voluntarily, then acted surprised when the tenants treated the property accordingly.

Here is what central planning cannot solve: nobody owned the place. Not really. The residents rented from a housing authority that collected rents capped by law and below the cost of maintenance. So the elevators stopped working. The heating failed. Windows broke and stayed broken. By 1971 occupancy had collapsed to roughly 600 people in buildings designed for 10,000. You do not need a degree in economics to understand a building where the toilets back up and no one is responsible. You need only to have read Mises on property without owners. When the bureaucrat spends appropriated funds, he can never replicate the discipline of an owner facing a balance sheet.

The planners diagnosed the failure as a design problem. Too many high-rises, they said. Not enough community space. They never asked whether the entire model of subsidized, politically administered housing produces exactly these results, because asking that question puts the planner out of a job. Charles Jencks called the 3:32 PM demolition on March 16, 1972 the death of modern architecture.

It was the predictable end of property without owners, paid for by taxpayers who never set foot in St. Louis and were billed anyway.

@JebraFaushay I wish they’d bring back the cherry pie. They are really missing an opportunity here.
