@zero2give@KurtSchlichter Well actually it will be ‘ex’. Not being nitpicky but I once used it incorrectly with a “former” Marine (not an “ex”). Will NEVER make that mistake again! Just sayin’!
I have just finished reading Justice Clarence Thomas's 91-page dissent in the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down Trump’s birthright citizenship order.
It's incredible.
Here's everything you need to know: 🧵
Dear Sane Americans,
As we get closer to the 250th birthday of the greatest experiment in human liberty the world has ever seen, I’ve noticed something truly hilarious online. A certain subset of our fellow citizens, bless their fragile little hearts...has announced, with all the solemnity of a Victorian widow, that they will be boycotting America’s birthday party. Why? Because Donald Trump exists and breathes air. Apparently the country that survived actual wars, depressions, pandemics, and every flavor of political idiot for two and a half centuries suddenly becomes irredeemable the moment their preferred candidate loses. How noble. How principled. How utterly predictable.
These are the same people who spent four years telling us that “democracy dies in darkness” while simultaneously claiming half the country was a basket of deplorables. Now they’re ready to spit on the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and every firework, hot dog, and bald eagle because....gasp, the wrong guy might be in the White House again. The Republic that outlasted King George, Hitler, and the Soviet Union can’t possibly survive another Trump term, so better to sit in the corner pouting than join the rest of us in remembering we’re still the last, best hope on Earth.
Well, here’s the good news, you delicate patriots-in-name-only: We don’t care if you celebrate or not. Really. Take your ball and go home. Spend the day doom-scrolling, stress-eating kale, and writing angry threads about how the country is “literally over.” We’ll be too busy grilling, laughing, and reminding ourselves that America was built by people with actual spines, not by fragile narcissists who treat politics like a high-school breakup. We wouldn’t expect less from you dolts.
The rest of us, sane Americans of every party, background, and region, will be celebrating anyway. Because this isn’t about one election or one man. It’s about 250 years of imperfect, rowdy, magnificent self-government. It’s about the radical idea that free people can govern themselves without asking permission from coastal elites, Twitter blue-checks, or anyone else who thinks they’re smarter than the Constitution. So go ahead. Sit this one out. History will barely notice your absence, and the fireworks will be just as loud!! Happy 250th, America! See you at the party! A Sane American who’s not letting children ruin the cookout.
Ro Khanna built his little morality cathedral on the idea that wealth inequality is some national sin requiring government punishment.
Then Grover Norquist walked in, flipped on the lights, and pointed straight at the altar.
You first, Congressman.
That’s the kill shot.
Not because $11.6 million is the whole debate. Not because one check solves federal spending. But because it exposes the entire wealth-tax racket for what it is: a sermon for other people’s wallets.
Khanna wants the state to stalk accumulated success like a repo man with a badge. Your assets. Your business. Your investments. Your unrealized gains. Your family holdings. Your illiquid property. All of it tossed onto the government scale so bureaucrats can decide how much of your life’s work they feel entitled to this year.
And they call that justice.
No, that’s not justice.
That’s envy with a spreadsheet.
That’s confiscation wearing a charity-shop halo.
That’s politicians who benefited from capitalism trying to kneecap the ladder after they climbed it.
Silicon Valley didn’t become Silicon Valley because some federal tax ghoul audited ambition into existence. It was built by risk, capital, failure, obsession, invention, and reward. The wealth-tax crowd shows up after the engine works, throws sand in the gears, and congratulates itself for caring about the workers stranded on the side of the road.
Grover’s envelope did what a thousand policy papers couldn’t.
It forced the preacher to face his own gospel.
If Ro Khanna believes wealth confiscation is moral, he doesn’t need a law.
He needs a pen.
Cut the check, Ro.
Or admit the revolution was always scheduled to begin in someone else’s bank account.

Okay, not gonna lie. I’m sad that @FreddyLA7 has left the US. Thank you for your journey. I love our country, (no matter who’s President!) & it has been so awesome to see it through his and others eyes, just to be reminded of all the wonderful we have! Thanks, @FreddyLA7 !❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
@mattvanswol@ashleyschendel@FreddyLA7 I love the South. Deployed to Alabama after the horrific 2011 tornadoes. The people were…amazing. And even with the devastation, it was beautiful country. Have had the opportunity to visit a couple different southern states briefly and it’s the same. ❤️
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
