English Checks Have Begun ‼️ Truck driver in Arkansas at a weigh station

- They’re stopping ALL trucks
- Everyone is handed a piece of paper
- They must read it out loud
- They must also write what they’re told to write

“I was actually witnessing people in handcuffs that had been pulled in. I was like, what's going on? He goes, we've come across now that if you cannot read or write in English, that it's a $5,000 fine.

And if you have a company in Arkansas that employs people that can't read or write in English, it's a $10,000 fine paid on the spot.

If you cannot pay it, you're automatically arrested and lose your license”

We need this in EVERY state!!

🚨 DON’T HOLLYWOOD MY TEXAS!

New graphic just dropped.

If you oppose $500 MILLION of your tax dollars going to liberal Hollywood, please share this graphic everywhere!

Tell your State Representative to oppose HB4568, and to use that money to help eliminate property taxes.

The Kennedy Center has received approximately $1.24 billion in total revenue since January 2020, with federal funding contributing around $237 million.
As of February 2025, the Kennedy Center is OUT OF MONEY in terms of immediate liquidity, with no cash on hand to cover expenses. An interesting observation is the fluctuation in "Program Services" revenue, including federal grants, as seen in ProPublica data. For instance, FY 2021 saw $10.9 million, while FY 2023 reached $129.9 million, a SIGNIFICANT jump in funding. The Kennedy Center needs a FULL overhaul and it’s time to STOP all the fraud and abuse!

BOOM 💥

Article 2 of the US Constitution states: “The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. — No court may take over that role. No court may define or limit the scope of the duties of an official of the executive office of the President”

- Rep Harriet Hageman has significant experience in CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, her expertise is cases involving constitutional implications

These rouge liberal activist judges must be removed

Weekly Credit Card Update!

Pilot program has been expanded to 16 agencies to audit unused/unneeded credit cards. After 2 weeks, ~146,000 cards have been de-activated.

As a reminder, at the start of the audit, there were ~4.6M active cards/accounts, so still more work to do.

Examples of observed improper payments below. This is likely being done at scale.
- After an order for expedited deportation was issued in 2017, a migrant from Honduras used three different SSNs to submit 73 medicare claims totaling $48k.
- Medicare paid $49k for a Rehab Center for a person recorded dead for over a year.
- Medicare paid $57k in 2020 for a person recorded to have died in 2006.
- After a warrant for her arrest was issued in 2019, a migrant from Colombia received 3 SBA loans for $100k (over $99k was forgiven).
- Migrant from Peru received social security payments since at least 2007, with all benefit checks being mailed directly to Peru.

Dear Ms. Cheney,

I’m late to the conversation, but let’s add some much-needed context to your stance on Ukraine by looking at the legacy you come from.

Your father, Dick Cheney, had a long and influential political career:

📌 Received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War, citing “other priorities,” and never served in the military.
📌 Served in key government roles, including White House Chief of Staff (Ford), U.S. Representative (Wyoming), and Secretary of Defense (Bush Sr.).
📌 As Secretary of Defense, oversaw U.S. military interventions in Panama and Iraq (Desert Storm).
📌 Led Halliburton as chairman and CEO (1995–2000), a company that later secured massive defense contracts in war zones.
📌 As Vice President, was a principal advocate for the 2003 Iraq invasion, citing claims that proved to be false.
📌 Accumulated a net worth reportedly reaching $86 million largely due to Halliburton.

These are facts. Neither you nor your father served in the military, yet he played a leading role in sending Americans into war—many of whom returned disabled, traumatized, or never returned at all. He and you profited immensely from the war machine while veterans struggled for the benefits they earned.

Despite this, you now position yourself as a leading voice on Ukraine. Why should anyone take your stance seriously, given your personal and family history of benefiting from military conflicts? Talk about the biggest conflict of interest ever.

So, before demanding action on Ukraine with emotional appeals, perhaps you should address the far more relevant issue: Why should anyone believe that your position is anything other than a continuation of the same war-profiteering playbook your family has long followed?

The NYT this morning criticized Elon Musk's call to impeach federal judges, accusing him of violating constitutional norms. Well, I looked into the data and it's insane: We stopped impeaching federal judges, despite having more of them now than ever!
The impeachment rate now seems implausibly low.

Either federal judges have become saints, or something is suppressing impeachments.
What is the probability we'd observe zero impeachments from 2011-2024? Using the Poisson distribution, I think it's somewhere around 3-7% depending on how you do it. So it's very fishy.

What's even crazier is that there is a clear political story behind all of this.

The 1980 Judicial Conduct and Disability Act, signed by Jimmy Carter, gave judges the power to police themselves through an obfuscated multi-layer system where chief judges dismiss almost all the complaints and judicial councils choose confidential sanctions in most of the cases where they even admit wrongdoing occurred.

Then in 2008 the federal judges "reformed" themselves, which seems to have made things even worse. I have to look into this more, obviously a complicated issue.

But it seems that the NYT is wrong and Musk is right, we do need to impeach more federal judges. (I'll post a longer piece on this later.)

I've had a change of heart on federal income tax. On the surface, it's just a way for the government to generate revenue—it has to get its funding from somewhere. But I now see that the method of taxation itself fundamentally alters the relationship between the government and its people.

When the government relies on taxing individual income, it shifts from serving its citizens to exploiting them as a revenue source. This dynamic creates an inherent friction, where the government no longer answers to the people but to the system that extracts from them. And if you look around, it's clear—whatever our tax dollars are funding, it’s not serving us.

This is what modern economists fail to grasp when they dismiss tariffs, sales taxes, or luxury taxes as harmful. The structure of taxation matters, not just the amount collected. The income tax distorts governance itself—and it needs to go.

Why the Foreign Policy Establishment Opposes Ending the War Between Russia and Ukraine

The foreign policy establishment does not support ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. Why?

This war is not merely about Russia and Ukraine. It is about the "rules based order." It is about socialistic "equity" versus market capitalism. It is about globalism versus the nation-state system.

Many "elites" see themselves as "saving the world" from the nation-state system that developed out of what they believe is the "capitalist" order.

They view themselves as "crusaders" against the status quo of human civilization — war, poverty, and inequality — all while reaping the benefits of government largesse and prestige among fellow elites.

However, their worldview is based on utopian goals that are not supported by hard evidence or the lessons of history. The foreign policy establishment's reckless pursuit of internationalist objectives, due largely to academic rubric, has been nothing short of disastrous for humanity.

Whether it is neoliberal interventionism or global hegemonic stability theory or the 'rules based order' or world systems theory or functional interdependence or the Pentagon's New Map or social constructivism and 5G warfare — these theories have failed to provide a guide to statecraft that advances the interests of mankind.

The neoliberal foreign policy establishment is not, as they have deluded themselves into believing, "saving the world" from "capitalism" and the "nation-state system." World War II was horrific, but it was not caused by "capitalists," it was caused by national socialists and fascists and communists.

Collectivism is what needs to go. Not free market capitalism and individual rights.

As for the "nation-state system," human beings need localized representation through free and fair elections to ensure governmental accountability to the will of the people. They also need freedom to accomplish self-determined goals for their own lives in order to maximize human happiness.

The world needs divided power to lessen the damage from military conflict and to impede totalitarianism. When any governmental body obtains ultimate control, the lesson of history shows that self-interested elites abuse that power to inflict the worst atrocities in human history.

Nazi Germany. The USSR. Maoist China.

All are examples of totalitarian regimes that killed nearly a 100 million human beings because they had total control over state and society.

The foreign policy establishment needs to approach the Russia-Ukraine War as a territorial dispute between two nations that were once under the same Soviet umbrella.

This is not a "global struggle" against the nation-state system. The goal should not be to impose a "rules based order" on human civilization.

The goal should be to benefit human beings and advance international peace and prosperity.

End the war. It is in the interest of the American people. It is in the interest of the Russian people. And it is in the interest of the Ukrainian people.

[Attorney General Ken Paxton @KenPaxtonTX]

Don't forget that two weeks ago John Cornyn flew to Munich to be the star of a Zelenskyy propaganda video aimed at getting tens of billions more of our tax dollars sent to Ukraine.

It's truly unbelievable to watch.

Would printing trillions of dollars and hiring tens of thousands of people for government jobs inflate GDP numbers and wouldn’t that make the economy look way better than it is?

YES, pumping trillions of dollars into the system and bloating government payrolls would absolutely juice GDP numbers—at least on paper. GDP measures total output, so if you’re flooding the economy with cash and creating jobs (even if they’re make-work positions), you’re going to see that figure climb. More spending, more salaries, more "activity"—it’s basic arithmetic.

But it’s a MIRAGE. Inflation would kick in hard because you’re dumping money into circulation without necessarily boosting real productivity. Prices go up, purchasing power tanks, and the "growth" starts looking more like a sugar high than a healthy economy. Plus, government jobs don’t always generate value the way private sector innovation can—think of it like paying people to dig holes and fill them back up. GDP might spike, but wealth isn’t really being created; it’s just being shuffled around.

Look at the Soviet Union. They had full employment and massive state spending, but the underlying economy was a mess. On the flip side, something like the New Deal in the U.S. did boost GDP through public works, but it was temporary and leaned on actual infrastructure, not just endless money printing.

So, yes, it’d make the economy *look* better in raw stats, but it’s like putting lipstick on a pig—it doesn’t mean the fundamentals are sound.

Want to know how upside down the world of women’s sports is in Washington state? A 15-year-old girl refused to play against an 18-year-old male in a JV basketball game. The result? She’s charged w/ bullying, harassment, and intimidation for MISGENDERING. Crazy.
