Never has a photo so completely encapsulated the total and complete failure of the @wnba’s leadership.
Never in the history of sports has a golden goose been so deliberately squandered.
A good friend once informed me that my colleagues in DC were playing checkers, not chess.
My late wife Rhonda, who had met these politicians on several occasions, corrected him,
“they’re chewing on the checkers and arguing about which tastes better… red or black.”
So true.
This is what honest people do when they get into positions of power in the government, but 99.9% are just addicted to the position. Think of all the people who have been lying to you, and those who are covering up for them.
The Idaho constitution requires the state to mange state public land for “long term financial return.” What that means is a 5th generation Teton ranching family will get the boot from their lease when well connected billionaires ask the Idaho Land Board to sell, like what happened with this Tetons Driggs 160 case.
The Mike Lee thing failed, so the next move in the playbook is transferring public land to the states who will then say “we can make more money off this land so we are selling it off.” They’re saying he won’t build a subdivision here, but there’s nothing stopping him as it’s private land now.
The billionaire who bought the parcel is a New York movie producer and tech investor with a lot of financial interests in AI and data centers. He lives full time in Pittsburgh. When we carve up the American West like this, and make something that once was public private, the possibility for development of open land increases.
What made conservation of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem possible as one of the only fully intact ecosystems left in America was the scale and connectivity of public land for seasonal migrations of elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and bison. Herds follow green waves of grass with the season. Suburban development has stopped these migrations almost everywhere else.
Public land prevents fragmentation into housing developments that would end these migrations too. Ranchers are a big part of this as ranch lands are often some of the most productive low elevation habitat for herds or they fall along migration corridors. Ranches maintain these large open spaces that allow migration to continue. If the buyer keeps the land undeveloped, that would be great, but now that it’s private and the 5th gen family who had a grazing lease there into the 2030s is gone, there’s no guarantee.
Another part of America sold off to the highest bidder because the line must go up.
Banish this dumb recurring Boomer lecture. People aged 20-50 aren't struggling with costs because of lattés and avocado toast. College costs 10X what it did for our parents. Average house price up 60% in 6 years. Health insurance doubled since ACA debacle. All policy choices.
Massie: $5.5M raised. Average donor gave $100. His opposition: $32 million. Three billionaires, Secretary Hegseth on the ground, four presidential attacks in one day, all to silence the guy fighting for the Epstein files. Trump calls elections rigged. Look in the mirror. Go Massie.
@grey4626 It's the tens of thousand of civilian corpses, dragging us into war after war and taxing the money right out of our paychecks that has turned the American people against Israel, and it's partisans, not podcasters who simply reflect that reality.
BREAKING: Trump purchased up to $630,000 worth of Palantir, $PLTR, during the first three months of the year.
In March alone, Trump made at least seven purchases of Palantir totalling as much as $530,000.
A month later, Trump literally wrote on TruthSocial: “Palantir Technologies (PLTR) has proven to have great war fighting capabilities and equipment."
The contrived and false deposition released just one week before my election was conducted by Carey who lost to me in 2012, in the law office of McMurtry who lost to me in 2020, and posted immediately by Deters who lost to me 2024.
There is only one thing you need to know about @RepThomasMassie campaign and it’s not even that he’s the best congressman in the country with a voting record second to none.
It’s that the Israel lobby is attempting to unseat a congressman for the crime of exposing them and their disastrous war.
No self respecting nation can allow that to happen.
Don’t believe the bs last minute accusations and betting market shifts. These are obvious signs of a concerted effort.
Just double down, send him money if you can, call whoever you know in his district, share his videos or posts.
We need to win this one.
