@MattWalshBlog What utter B.S. How are you supposed to give away real estate, that likely is still being lived in, potentially taxed to near worthlessness?
@TheDataVet@esaagar and how much of this projected increase in value is in the owners bank account? zero. What of the years of maintenance, new roof, etc., that is an out of pocket expense that cannot offset future taxation. And, if they sell, there will be a capital gains tax of some sort.
If you are a non-elected member of the US federal government (i.e., civilian GS employee, career SES, contractor, military) and you are “resisting” or “slow-rolling” lawful initiatives of the Trump Administration, let me tell you what you are actually doing.
You are not “resisting” Trump.
You are not “resisting” Cabinet secretaries (Pete Hegseth, e.g.)
You are not “resisting” a policy you find politically unpalatable.
NO. You are not “resisting” any of that.
Instead, you are resisting THE CONSTITUTIONAL WILL OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EXPRESSED VIA THEIR ELECTORAL CHOICES.
You claim to value democracy, yet you resist democracy. You claim to value institutions and standards, yet you resist those institutions and standards when the American people chose a path you disagree with.
HOW DARE YOU? How dare you place your own ego over the will of THE PEOPLE? (You know, those big letters at the top of the Constitution?)
Who, exactly, do you think you are? THE PEOPLE are the sovereign in this nation, you are not.
If you cannot accept this and gladly internalize it, you should resign or be fired.
(This also goes for four-star generals and admirals.)
BREAKING: 1.5 million Israelis have already fled the country.
Foreigners are being evacuated.
The wealthy Arabs from the Gulf are rushing to leave in masses.
They all know the truth: If Trump puts American boots on the ground in Iran, this will explode into a full-scale regional war.

WAR ON FOOD – PART 2: The Fishing Industry Is
Breaking: This isn’t coming.
It’s already happening.
The war in the Middle East is now hitting your dinner table.
Diesel prices are exploding.
Fishing ,one of the most fuel-dependent industries on Earth is becoming unprofitable overnight.
In Europe, some boats are now spending €30,000 a week on fuel — equal to the value of their entire catch.
That means zero income for crews.
And fleets are shutting down:
🇳🇱 Netherlands:
• ~50% of the fleet already idle
• 80–90% of beam trawlers stayed in port
🇹🇭 Thailand:
• Over 50% of trawlers docked
• Industry nearing standstill
🇮🇪 Ireland:
• 1/3 of fleet close to stopping
🇪🇸 🇮���� 🇫🇷 🇬🇧Europe:
• Widespread cutbacks
• “Critical economic situation”
🇺🇸 USA (Gulf shrimp fleet):
• Fuel costs up 54% in 3 months
• Boats considering shutdown
🇺🇸Alaska (major U.S. fishing region): Many fishermen report dramatic rises. One vessel owner said boat insurance is now about 4 times what it cost when she started (multi-year increase). Crew insurance jumped to more than twice what it was a few years ago — e.g., ~$500/month per crew member.
American fishing industry needs help.
This is just weeks into escalation.
👉 Diesel is already $9.29 per gallon in Europe.
That’s today.
What happens if oil hits $200 a barrel?
At that point:
• 50–80% of fleets could stop sailing
• Small operators wiped out
• Coastal economies collapse
* Widespread job losses for fishermen, processors, truckers, and port workers
And for YOU:
• Seafood prices could jump 30–100%+
• Imports get even more expensive
• Protein becomes harder to afford
This isn’t just an energy crisis.
This is a global food crisis in motion.
Wild seafood — a key food source for millions — is being priced out of reach.
Alaska (major U.S. fishing region)
: On top of everything else the insurance premiums have increased 60-200% in few years.\
This is WAR ON FOOD.
The question is no longer if it spreads—
It’s how far it goes before leaders act.

@MikeCrapo@DHSgov You need to stay in DC and get the SAVE Act done, fund the appropriate folks, and quit grandstanding. Read the comments to your post.
@LeaderJohnThune It would be a complete slap in the face for the Senate to take a paid vacation,
while tens of thousands of TSA agents still aren’t receiving paychecks.
NO RECESS!
Yes, Senator Thune, it's obvious Democrats see your weakness and will keep applying pressure until you're the one left clearing the path to dismantle ICE.
It's time to stop coasting on easy interviews and industry accolades and start making difficult, consequential decisions.
Senator Thune, if you don't find a way to overcome this and finance DHS while passing the SAVE America Act, you will go down as the one who single-handedly destroyed the Republican party in 2026. Not Candace Owens. Not President Trump. Not anyone else. YOU.
