Rome handed out free grain to 40,000 citizens in 73 BC. By 46 BC, Julius Caesar found 320,000 people lining up for their monthly ration. That eight-fold expansion happened in under three decades, and it shows you how welfare states actually grow.

No Roman senator stood up and announced a plan to addict a third of the city to government bread. It happened incrementally, through political competition. Each magistrate who wanted votes expanded eligibility. Each expansion normalized the next one. The citizen who once considered the dole shameful eventually expected it, then demanded it, then organized politically to protect it.

This is the core mechanism free market thinkers have identified across every era: once you create a transfer program, you create a constituency for that program. Recipients vote. Administrators build careers. Grain merchants who supply the state develop a stake in keeping the contracts flowing. The political economy locks in.

Caesar, to his credit, actually cut the rolls back to 150,000 through verification audits. It was one of his more economically coherent moves, though the Senate still murdered him. His successors quietly let the numbers climb again.

What did the dole require? Massive grain imports from Sicily, Sardinia, and Egypt, organized through state logistics at state expense, funded by taxation and conquest. When the conquest revenue dried up, the obligation remained. Rome had written a check against future military success, and future military success eventually failed to arrive.

The lesson is not complicated. Distribute a benefit and you distribute dependency. Distribute dependency and you distribute political power to whoever controls the distribution. The grain dole didn't weaken Rome overnight, but it made every subsequent reform politically impossible.

Let’s make sure it’s not USDA Grade F meat! An AI search claims it’s not an actual grade of USDA rated meat, but I’ve seen the labels on military food. The meat boxes were labeled “Grade F. For prisoner and military consumption only.” Or something to that effect.

Apparently, arresting Maduro and killing Khamenei were easier than getting a Republican Senate majority to pass the Save America Act.

This is why California is Broke and Texas is not. This is pretty good!😂🤣

@DefiantLs Good. Post it to your social media profile. The manager chose to show the All-American half time show. If you don’t like it, take your business elsewhere.

"Stuff like this gets people killed. It creates stupid rules of engagement, some of which killed my friends personally, because they want to play political grandstand games with no intention of backing the soldier up when he does the bidding that they subtly encouraged."

@DHSgov @grok Are criminal and illegal synonyms?

[Dennis Odom @anonalytp]

@GuntherEagleman @GavinNewsom Or $24B of the homelessness fund.
@grok explain what happened with the $24B missing from the California homelessness fund.

[Dennis Odom @anonalytp]

@GavinNewsom @grok Give a detailed analysis of how Governor Gavin Newsome has either helped, or harmed the state of California. Focus on his policies concerning facilitation of illegal immigrants, management of tax-payer funds, and responses to state emergencies.

@CAgovernor @GavinNewsom

@GavinNewsom @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom You may be suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect. You’ve already sold out your state, and your soul with it. You do nothing but lie and bring your state into further ruin.

📢 No Kings in California — Vote NO on Prop 50
Gavin Newsom has treated the people of California like his personal piggy bank to fund the Democrat agenda.
$24 BILLION “missing” in the homelessness industrial complex — and still, tents fill our streets.
PG&E — one of Newsom’s top campaign donors — keeps raising energy costs, making it harder for families to afford basic utilities.
Our children’s education is falling behind, test scores are dropping, and families are left to pick up the pieces.
Gavin Newsom has failed California families.
We don’t bow to politicians.
We don’t answer to elites.
We have no kings in California.
Vote NO on Prop 50.

@HawleyMO I had to watch twice. He said “trantifa.”

@the_jefferymead @karolineleavitt The key words I heard you say were “running cover” which is exactly what they’ve been doing.

STOP IT!!!🤣🤣🤣

Vote NO on Prop 50! This partisan gerrymandering scheme redraws districts to favor Democrats. It's a hypocritical power grab that suspends California's independent redistricting commission, handing map-drawing to politicians and donors for 2026-2030 elections, undoing decades of Republican fights against such rigging.

With California’s 40-12 Democratic House edge already fueling #1 homelessness, income/gas taxes, and gas prices, don't add more. Obama's ad telling you to vote yes on prop 50, means you definitely MUST VOTE NO!

@elonmusk @the_jefferymead Another good follow is @keibenet She gives hilarious news run-downs.
