Hollywood conservative, funny on occasion

You’re as bad at math as you are at governing.

Imagine thinking $60B could pay for that, or that the downstream consequences wouldn’t exist.

[Marc Thiessen @marcthiessen]

What an elitist twit you are.

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

There's something psychotic about those who produce nothing of value for society but wait around for others to create jobs and wealth for millions of people, only to try to immediately steal it all.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

I hope he is the first one of many. Wealth creation is a net good for our society and helps ensure progress for everyone.

Jealousy is a bad guide for economic policy.

[Charles C. W. Cooke @charlescwcooke]

“Let’s make sure we get no more PayPals, Teslas, SpaceXs, Neuralinks, Starlinks . . .” Just illiterate, destructive, sclerotic nonsense.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

This is a complete vindication for Israel.

They have said for two years now, with evidence, that these are terrorists.

Now the terrorist organizations themselves are admitting it.

Will we see retractions and apologies?

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

Trump is setting his tough guy image on fire and turning into some worse version of Obama on foreign policy, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why.

Just absolutely senseless.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

To be clear, when Iran launches ballistic missiles at now eight different countries since the beginning of the ceasefire, they are solely to blame for the war continuing.

Hello! It’s now 11am in California, two days after Election Day. Around this time yesterday, NBC estimated 57.5% of statewide votes had been counted. A day later, very few additional ballots have been tallied & NBC now estimates that just 56% of the count is complete.

Democrats just nominated a guy who served as a defense witness for the World Trade Center bomber and who worked for an Al Qaeda front group.

You know how we say Europe’s problems with Islamism are going to happen here?

Well, they are happening.

@LeoTerrellDOJ @CedarsSinai @realDonaldTrump Mask below the nose is also a nice touch.

There are several things wrong with this framing of trying to argue that illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes, so sanctuary policies are not a big deal or a policy disaster:

1) Arrest rates aren't really comparable because of the nature of undocumented immigrants. They live in communities that are less likely to report crimes, less likely to turn them in, and less likely to cooperate with law enforcement. A lot of crimes simply aren't reported. They are also much harder to find as they often do not have one permanent address and often relocate.

2) Every study like this intentionally discounts many crimes, such as identity theft, which are common among illegal immigrants. In this case, it specifically oly focuses on certain subjective violent offenses.

People who don't respect immigration laws also tend not to respect other laws.

3) Far more importantly: This whole argument misses the point, which is that they don't have a right to be here. It's bad policy to release criminals who repeatedly commit crimes because it endangers the communities they terrorize. But it's much worse to do so with people who don't even have a legal right to be in those communities in the first place.

This is an 80-20 issue. If you poll people on whether an illegal immigrant who was arrested for a violent crime should be handed over to ICE for deportation, almost every sane and rational person would agree that they should be. Yet sanctuary jurisdictions repeatedly do not do so.

In fact, specifically in Fairfax County, Steve Descano brags about intentionally applying different standards to illegal immigrants to prevent them from being deported. Often lowering and dismissing charges. That has repeatedly led to him releasing people who have gone on to rape and murder innocent victims. Stephanie Minter's killer had 40 previous arrests before he murdered an innocent mother at a bus stop. He could have been deported after any of those, and she would still be alive, but instead, they kept dropping charges and refused to alert the feds. 3 of the 4 murders in Fairfax County this year have resulted in arrests of illegal immigrants with previous arrests.

If you don't understand why that's outrageous, I don't know what to tell you.

Wealth and income are not the same thing. Unrealized gains are not income. Film at 11.

[Katie Pavlich @KatiePavlich]

The most dedicated advocates for peace and a two state solution were the Israelis who lived on the border with Gaza. They invited Palestinians into their homes to work and break bread. Gaza Palestinians returned the favor by taking notes about where safe rooms were, layouts of the homes, if there were dogs, etc. in plans for their ultimate slaughter, pillaging and rape on October 7. Dozens of Americans were murdered at the NOVA peace festival down the road. This is what these Democrat policies would ensure, again.

No.

It’s like you guys learned absolutely nothing from Trump’s rise.

Want Spencer Pratt to not be a serious candidate?

Don’t turn significant parts of your city into a zombie horror show covered in trash and feces while sipping cocktails in Ghana as peoples’ houses burn down.

[T. Becket Adams @BecketAdams]

In the three years since Oct. 7, we've watched in astonishment as the most absurd and outrageous allegations against Israel have wormed their way into Western print.

We have been subjected to unbelievable and sometimes obviously false claims, parroted verbatim by journalists who are either the world’s most gullible or its most immoral people — or both.

Karen Bass is the worst leader I’ve ever seen. Nobody knew she was out of the country during the Palisades Fire. Nobody could order air tankers because her deputy mayor was under house arrest. Her LADWP chief didn’t know our reservoir was empty. Karen Bass is running an absolute CLOWN SHOW. Vote like your life depends on it! Cuz it does!

[Bonchie @bonchieredstate]

Literally didn’t happen.

The state was already established. The “Nakba” was Arab nations declaring war and ultimately losing.

Even most of those who left weren’t exiled but left voluntarily because they thought the Arabs would win.

That was a bad calculation.

This may be the song of the summer.

Spencer Pratt: “We need to clean up homeless camps, get rid of the drug addicted everywhere, prepare for fires better, and lower taxes.”

Nithya Raman: “We need to ban the normals from cooking hamburgers.”

The right vs. left paradigm perfectly illustrated.
