Why is @benshapiro the only one talking about Vice President @JDVance having a photo op with Mohammad Ghalibaf this Friday?

You know the same guy who cheers on terrorists in Lebanon and helped kill 42,000 innocent Iranian civilians.

“The strongest argument for free enterprise is that it prevents anybody from having too much power—whether that person is a government official, a trade union official, or a business executive.”

Explain exactly how “democratizing the economy” will solve this problem

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

This is not sustainable.

Plutarch warned us 2,000 years ago that the imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.

We have got to democratize our economy so that it works for all.

[Dmitri Bolt @_bolt_dmitri]

Elon Musk has done more for humanity in economic terms, than every person calling to tax him put together.

He’s surely done more than any politician who claims they’d do better with the money in some government program.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

This the basic difference.

Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous.

Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.

I can think of far more people who’ve been hurt by the policies of California Democrats than by Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire…

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

🚨 DECISION DESK PROJECTION

Republican Steve Hilton has advanced to the California Gubernatorial General Election, where he will face Democrat Xavier Becerra in November.

Freedom is an end unto itself. Free markets are the purest form of economic freedom.

Michaels contention allows those who believe they are pursuing the “good” and the “true” control the freedom of individuals. How is that different than Marx’s contention of free markets?

[Daily Wire @realDailyWire]

.@michaeljknowles tells @MrWinMarshall that free speech and free markets are not ends unto themselves, but rather instruments to achieve something greater:

"They're not the end in themselves...I fear that even some on the Right have made an idol out of free speech."

[Students For Liberty @sfliberty]

In 1992, a 32-year-old historian became Prime Minister of Estonia.

He had read exactly one book on economics: Milton Friedman's Free to Choose.

He used it as a policy manual. Western advisors and Estonian economists told him it would fail. 🧵

“There is basically no difference between socialism and fascism.”

[Michael J. Hout @michaeljhout]

The longer this Iran deal takes, the more opposed to it I am becoming.

I get the midterms and other priorities, but this is a legacy-defining moment for @POTUS

This Iranian regime is evil.

We are the dominant superpower.

Why aren’t we acting like it?

He's on a roll with truths!

Jeff Bezos: "If I do my job right, the value to society and civilization from my for-profit companies will be much, much larger than the good that I do with my charitable giving."

Excellent response on Israel aid by @VivekGRamaswamy.

Perfect.

[Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy]

The #1 factor that determines whether you succeed in life is you. It isn’t “the patriarchy.” It isn’t the Jews. It isn’t the Muslims. It isn’t the billionaires. It isn’t the foreigners. It isn’t white people. It isn’t black people. It's time for us to move on from victimhood culture in America.

[Green Beret Nap Time @GBNT1952]

Well, “Old MAGA” as you have coined them are no longer voting Republican so there is no war.

They are Democrats.

Same war as always, Republicans vs gay race communists.

We just have to get better at identifying when grifters are in our midst. Speaking of… can yall make sure Bannon knows he’s out as well?

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Felt like a good day to repost this.

Shabbat Shalom!
