Seattle city council wanted to help "exploited" gig workers.
So they forced delivery apps to pay drivers MORE.
"I wouldn’t assume that prices are going to go up," said one politician.
But prices DID go up.
@judgeglock of @ManhattanInst explains how regulation backfired:
Good enough is not your destiny. God put greatness in you. He has an awesome future in store. Get thirsty again. Start dreaming again, start believing again, start hoping again.
Warren Buffett: "The bottom 2% in terms of income in the United States, the bottom 5%, and for sure the top 1% all live better than John D. Rockefeller was living when I was six years old."
"John D. Rockefeller was the richest man in the world and, today, you can get better medicine, better education, better entertainment, better transportation. You can do everything better than he could."
"When I was born, the dentist didn't use novocaine!"
Communes keep failing. The few that survive-- survive via capitalism.
A nepo baby's oil money revitalized New Harmony, Indiana.
Selling silverware saved the Oneida Community.
Selling refrigerators saved Amana Colonies.
Yet my new mayor promises “the warmth of collectivism!"
The right people, the contacts, the healing, the open doors. They're going to track you down. The Scripture says, “No good thing will God withhold when you walk uprightly.” That’s you. You’re committed, faithful, being good to people. God is not going to withhold anything you need.
How many of us are trying to do God’s job. We’re trying to do everything on our own. No, take the pressure off. Let God be God. He knows what’s best for you. He knows what you need, who you need, when you need it, and how to get it to you.
For America to be great, we must always remain one nation under God.
On National Day of Prayer, we pledge that America will always, as it is written in Psalm 96, “Tell His glory among the nations”—and that we will never forget God’s role in creating, protecting, & sustaining the freest, strongest, most prosperous, & greatest country in the world. 🙏
"The way this works is there are no signs for the rapture. There are only signs for the second advent."

End Times, AI Deception & Bible Truth: How to Stay Grounded
It's Earth Day.
Climate alarmists yell, the sea is rising!
It’s true. But they don't say how slowly: 1 inch a decade.
We can adapt! 100M people live below sea level. Holland built dykes long ago without modern construction tech.

I am grateful to Pope Leo for saying this. While the media narrative constantly gins up conflict–and yes, real disagreements have happened and will happen–the reality is often much more complicated.
Pope Leo preaches the gospel, as he should, and that will inevitably mean he offers his opinions on the moral issues of the day. The President–and the entire administration–work to apply those moral principles in a messy world.
He will be in our prayers, and I hope that we'll be in his.
One week has passed since Artemis II returned to Earth after a historic mission around the Moon. We laughed, we cried, and we pushed the boundaries of what’s possible, setting the stage for future innovation and exploration.
We’re just getting started.
Vice President Vance on how the Task Force is putting a STOP to fraudsters:
“No amount of fraud is too big or too small. If you're defrauding the taxpayer, you ought to go to prison, and anybody who's helping you ought to go to prison too.”🔥
Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions.
In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.
This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country.
Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country.
America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.
Washington state has a brand new "millionaires' tax."
Don’t politicians know that people can move?
Starbucks billionaire Howard Shultz already announced his move to Florida.
@SteveForbesCEO explains why "tax the rich" always backfires:
