[Eric Adams @ericadamsfornyc]

On January 10, 2025, the Biden-Harris administration put a $25 million bounty on Nicolás Maduro for information leading to his arrest or conviction.

Public safety is not a political game.

You do not label someone a narco-dictator one year and then pretend he is no longer a threat the next simply because a different president is in office. That is cynical and irresponsible.

Maduro’s drugs have killed thousands of Americans and continue to endanger our children. Imagine being the parents of 2-year-old Nicholas Feliz Dominici, who died from fentanyl poisoning in a Bronx daycare, and watching this political theater.

America is safer today because Maduro is no longer in power.

Welcome to New York, Nicolás.

The year is over and im bored with nothing to do for the next 2 weeks so here are a couple of my musings on things to fix this country.

1. We need to give more incentive for successful people to have kids. You get all these career oriented types who don't want to have to kids because it gets in the way of work or its too expensive. My inkling is they do have more kids if we give some sort of massive tax relief, there's many ways to do this. Money talks right? Maybe expand their IRA contribution limits per child they have? Lower property taxes for owners that go lower with each extra kid? Many options.

2. We need to do something with our prisons, it's such a waste of time and money. The violent offenders are hopeless, just swiftly be done with them. The rest, actually rehab them so they're ready to come out and contribute to society. These people just come out and commit crimes again. We need some sort of limit, say 5 arrests, good lord that's a big number, but I don't care if its 5 shoplifting arrests, at that point you're just never gonna learn, you need to be removed from society forever. We have to clean society up.

3. We need to force colleges to self fund their degrees, this stuff is ridiculous, my first job was on an endowment that was a few billion dollars, why do schools need all this money? The government getting into anything ruins it and student loans have been a catastrophe, I went to one of the best schools in America and tuition is up almost 5x from 25 years ago, that's disgusting and frankly stupid. If you force schools to subsidize their own degrees you'll notice they quickly stop letting kids get dumb degrees that lead nowhere in life but years of debt and eventual bankruptcy. It's criminal what these universities are offering some of these kids by offering some of the nonsense degrees

4. We need some massive government pay reform. These government workers getting pensions and retiring in their 50's is absolutely ridiculous. No business owner in the real world gets a guaranteed anything for retiring at such a young age. I'm tired of hearing of government workers with pensions making $200k/yr for life or more. It's just a slap in the face to all of the normal folks because nobody in the private sector is guaranteed anything ever. Imagine if government workers just had to work and save for their future on their own like everyone else? The horror.

5. I've joked about it before but stock market participants deserve a 1031 equivalent. Why not? Why would real estate investors get that and not market participants? It's equally easy to buy and hold real estate as it is stocks and it would allow wealth to compound faster for investors in the market without waiting till they're 60 to use retirement accounts.

6. Trump's $1000 at birth for kids is a great start, but we need more, think about it, we pay out fortunes later in life via social security, why not just invest small amounts now and let it compound for 65+ years. Even something like say whatever your parents taxes are, let's say the year you're born we put 10% of your parents federal taxes in the S&P for you. Even $5,000 at 7% for 65 years is a huge number, more than we will pay out in social security payments.

7. We need to fix health insurance, we need to get the high risk people in a pool the government somehow backstops. We need healthy people and families to see way lower hikes. I'm a lucky guy to be able to afford it but my new price as of next february for completely healthy me, wife, and 3 kids is now $3,227/mo with a $7,500 deductible meaning next year I would have to spend $44,000 before anything. Also neither of us is even 45, we're not even old or risky to them, it's just robbery. People are stuck in jobs because of health insurance fears, Obamacare was stupid, but what's dumber is we've done nothing since to fix this. Instead we're punishing the healthy. I don't know how about we order a few less Lockheed Martin fighter jets a year and cover the unhealthy and let the healthy see rates moderate?

8. We need higher taxes on property investors in the single family space. These guys are gobbling up all the cheap inventory and pricing out the normal folks. If we're in an affordability crisis then just bump up the taxes meaningfully to where you get some of these investors to say you know what? Maybe I will put this thing back on the market. We have way too many cheap homes being hoarded right now by investors. Also the blackrock types, they need a massive hike like if you own 100+ homes you need an even bigger hike maybe 50% top rate or something, nobody needs to own 100 rental homes. Go invest in some commercial real estate if you want to deploy it in real estate, single family homes should be for families, not corporations.

I am not an artist, but I love the power of photos and the stories they tell.

Here are 25 photos I think tell the story of the Biden years.

If the election outcome is as I expected, it should cause the large minority of the country who supported @KamalaHarris and predicted her victory to begin to question their sources of truth.

Half the country has believed that @X is filled with mis- and disinformation, and that they could only therefore rely on The NY Times, MSNBC, CNN and other mainstream media for their news. And they did.

If, however, you have been active on @X for the last year, you have known the truth days, weeks and often months before the facts appear in the MSM.

The MSM excerpted, clipped and cut to defame @realDonaldTrump while claiming that @JoeBiden was fit as a fiddle. Then when Biden’s polls collapsed, @KamalaHarris was anointed the candidate and her hagiography was written with glowing acclaim from the press. But this could not hold as she ducked the media and held fast to the teleprompter.

Citizen journalists with their phone cameras in hand captured the real Kamala forcing her to defend her record and her plans in more media appearances. It did not go well and the public demanded to learn more so @KamalaHarris had to risk more unscripted media.

The doom loop was underway with perhaps 60 Minutes as one of the more dramatic examples, even after CBS tried to save her, most glaringly by excerpting one answer to replace a word salad response to another. But the citizen journalists on @X quickly caught and outed this fraud and demanded a transcript.

As many who supported Kamala began to realize that they have been misled, they became open to Trump as an alternative, but they didn’t want to rely on the media to understand him because they did not want to be misled again.

They wanted to hear the candidate in his own words and that is where @lexfridman and @joeroganhq long form podcasts came to the rescue. When Kamala was offered the same opportunities to explain herself, she rejected them. And the voting public could only draw a negative inference.

When the story of this election is written, I expect it will be as much about how half of America woke up to the reality that they have been manipulated by the media. This should lead to an abandonment by many of the MSM as their primary source of information. It will push more people to @X, to podcasts and other empirical sources, and it will lead to a more informed public.

The other outcome I hope happens is the implosion of the Democratic Party. The Party lied to the American people about the cognitive health and fitness of the president. It prevented, threatened, litigated and otherwise eliminated the ability of other candidates for the primary to compete, to get on ballots, and to even participate in a debate. The Party and the administration used lawfare in an attempt to imprison, bankrupt or otherwise kill off Trump as a candidate. These acts are collectively grave threats to our democracy. With the highest irony in order to hide these acts, the Party accused the opposition candidate of being the grave threat to democracy.

The Democratic Party proved itself to be fundamentally undemocratic. It needs a complete reboot. The leadership should be thrown out and those responsible should apologize to the American people.

Honest Abe said it best:

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
