@atensnut Fun Fact: If tariffs worked, those 170 countries wouldn’t ALL have a lower standard of living than America does 🇺🇸There is definitely a correlation here, you just have it backwards.

@jpodhoretz @CGasparino I knew Brian Thompson. He was a good man. I always enjoyed my chances to talk to him. God bless his family with strength and peace.

May the name of Luigi Mangione be blotted from history. May it never be spoken again. And may the family of Brian Thompson be blessed.

The Vice President is right that we won't defeat socialism with slogans. But we also won't defeat it with government trying to make people's lives better. People are worse off as government has grown. Shrink government and let people thrive.

@DavidBahnsen @JonahDispatch JD Vance is almost as economically illiterate as AOC

[David L. Bahnsen @DavidBahnsen]

Whenever I hear people from Yale Law School bemoan the horrors of our currency being the world’s reserve currency, I wonder if Yale would be open to me sending some 13-year olds to present an economics primer for them before they graduate into the real world …

Good morning 😃

The clearest evidence that government intervention raises prices can be found within the current administration. A tariff is a tax. It falls hardest on the working families every faction claims to champion. For a year, the public was assured that the tariffs were not raising prices or slowing wage growth, that the claims were a fabrication, and that the number at the bottom of the receipt was imagined. Then the President himself removed the tariffs on coffee, bananas, beef, and eggs. He would have had no reason to do so had those tariffs not raised the price of coffee, bananas, beef, and eggs. He deserves credit for the reversal. He does not deserve the pretense that the tariff was ever anything other than a tax borne by the consumer. Even now, wage growth has slipped again behind inflation, but we no longer have cheap toasters. We just don’t have the manufacturing base they promised.

This is the fundamental weakness of populism. It possesses no governing philosophy, only a disposition. It moves from one grievance to the next, and each time it acts to remedy a single complaint, it creates others that must later be remedied in turn. It resolves that cheap imports are destroying jobs, so it taxes the imports, and then expresses surprise when the toaster, the washing machine, and the burrito all cost more. It demands that the government make housing affordable while defending the guarantees that made housing unaffordable. It insists at once on lower prices and greater intervention, and those two aims cannot be reconciled. Intervention prevails, and prices rise.

Bill Maher: “I would vote for Sarah Palin before this shit!”

“Gavin Newsom... says he’s good with [democratic socialists] because the party is a ‘big tent.’ Well, you know what else you find in a tent? CLOWNS.”

“It's so funny. So many liberals shit themselves every time Trump puts gold on something in the Oval Office.”

[Mocking] “Oh, it’s historic!”

“And the separation of powers isn’t? Get your head out of your ass.”

Just so everyone knows where I stand, I won’t cancel Thanksgiving as governor.

Still nothing but silence from our current Democrat Attorney General who could be on the ballot with Francesca Hong this Fall. We are witnessing a socialist takeover of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and an Attorney General that lacks the courage to stand against abolishing the police.

A strange thing happens when people inherit comfort.

They forget comfort was built.

When life works, people start treating abundance like the weather. It is just there.

That is how a generation can grow up inside prosperity and still fall for ideas that punish the very economic freedom that made their normal life feel easy.

[Magatte Wade @magattew]

For most of human history, poverty was normal. Prosperity is the strange achievement. 

Young people should learn what made that achievement possible before they vote to destroy it.

@billglahn What a ridiculous comment. Familiarize yourself with SCOTUS voting stats. They’re widely available.

What a wonderful moment! I wish there were more moments of such humanity in Washington. Thank you Justice Kagan!

[Fox News @FoxNews]

JUST IN: Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan pays tribute to the late Senator Lindsey Graham, recalling how the South Carolina Republican crossed party lines to support her nomination to the high court.

During her opening remarks she expressed condolences on behalf of herself and the Supreme Court, saying she understood why so many people would deeply miss Sen. Lindsey Graham.

"I want to express my gratitude towards him, not only for his support, but for, approaching the confirmation process, with the kind of seriousness that he did. and and the kind of respect he did."

“I never got to know Senator Graham very well, but I can see why so many people will deeply miss him.”

Bad guys often agree with your politics.

We need more people voting in primaries who think a person’s qualifications to hold a position of public trust include more than angry vitriol directed at our political opponents.

Character matters. Vote like it.

@kevinforwi In a gridlocked Congress, how would you go about cutting spending?
