Here is anything that you might want to know about me. I believe in:

- Free market, supply side economics.
- Low taxes and low federal spending.
- Reduced federal regulations.
- Free trade with our allies, no trade with enemies.
- Socialism is a scourge that has killed millions.
- Statism in all of its forms is to be denounced and abhorred.
- Ignored 10th amendment may have been the most important one!
- Property rights and the pursuit of property are the key to civilization.
- Peace through strength / trust but verify.
- America should at all times have the world’s strongest military.
- Lincoln, Washington, Reagan, and Coolidge were the 4 great presidents.
- I support Ukraine and Israel in their current conflicts.
- The decline of the family is the great American tragedy of the last few years.

Trump raises tariffs.

MAGA: Trump is a genius.

Trump slashes his own tariffs.

MAGA: Trump is a genius.

Spent a few minutes on X today for the first time in a week or two. Glad to see that most of my attention is still from bots, despite the fact that we destroyed the algorithm to fix it. Bravo, @elonmusk

@ConservativeI20 @jkeeter82 @WallStreetApes Before the 16th amendment, more revenue was collected at a state or local level than a federal level. Local taxes were higher than total federal collection (INCLUDING tariffs). The increase in collection is the problem, not the method.

@brett_berr65816 @Loveof1776 Nationalize the lending industry. Plus, rely on the mercies of the federal government to borrow money. Plus, don’t allow variable interest rates to quantify loan risk. Super great idea.

@Loveof1776 @louisedbegin The Fed cut three times in 2024.

Well, we can’t have people fending for themselves now, can we?

Just saw the bumper sticker “Record Profits on Stolen Wages”. That is a good example of a person who needs to launch their own business and figure out if profit is as easily as confiscating wages. Make sure there are, you know, no other inputs at play.

[RaiseMinority @RaiseMinority]

This kind of big government, corporate capitalism makes me want to barf. The government should be less involved with the market, not more involved. The more a great leader thinks they can tinker with the free market, the more things get F’d up.

The Jets have finally admitted that they are moving into year 27 of a rebuild.

A more accurate take would be that the administration made a “real mistake” by confronting China before it had alternative suppliers lined up. China actually had plenty of leverage. #ArtoftheDeal

[RaiseMinority @RaiseMinority]

Sorry to always be so negative, but I'm sitting here watching Trump meet with Xi, and I'm thinking that they are both speaking the language of the central planner.

Am I the only one annoyed by how many car commercials no longer have cars in them? That is, they are all CGI?

[RaiseMinority @RaiseMinority]

Is this the action of an administration working to address a “trade emergency” or is it a haphazard and fickle non-policy based on a combination of personal whims and economic illiteracy?

The Supreme Court can’t hear this case fast enough.

[RaiseMinority @RaiseMinority]

While I appreciate the sentiment, I’m on the fence on this. It seems to me that Congress doesn’t need a perverse incentive to never shut down the government. It would be an incentive to spend more than it would be a solution.

@LangmanVince

[RaiseMinority @RaiseMinority]

I’ve never, ever had the pro-tariff MAGA crowd answer the following clearly: did @JoeBiden have the ability to slap blanket tariffs on any nation he saw fit?

It’s always a question answered with a question or some feckless, unmoored rant about doing what needs to be done.

[RaiseMinority @RaiseMinority]

OH GOD NO.

[RaiseMinority @RaiseMinority]

@willchamberlain We don’t have to figure out shit. That’s like saying we need to figure out gravity again. GET BUREAUCRACY OUT OF IT. Done.

[RaiseMinority @RaiseMinority]

The truth is that I've started to make several X posts in the last few days before reminding myself that I'm married with two small kids and a small-but-growing business. X is the least important part of my day, every day.

[RaiseMinority @RaiseMinority]

Hey @elonmusk, it might be a little verbose, but I have a suggested new tagline for X:

X: Where some of the world's dumbest people will talk in circles with each other, each trying to get the final word.
