Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

I think it’s time to revisit the accredited investor laws in the US.
Companies are staying private longer, where only accredited investors (aka rich people!) can invest. Retail investors can only come in after IPO, when much of the upside has already been captured.
These rules were created with the best of intentions, to protect regular people from scams - a noble idea. Unfortunately, in practice they've often made it illegal to get richer, unless you're already rich. A regressive tax!
We have to judge policies based on their outcomes, not on their intentions.
These are two possible routes I see:
1) Replace the rule with something merit-based, like a financial literacy test. Pass it and you're accredited. Having a qualification based on competency rather than your bank balance or income seems far more fair.
2) Remove the rule entirely. Let consenting adults assess their own risk. Disclosure requirements stay and fraud enforcement stays to punish bad actors.
Isn’t it ironic that the same leftist agitprop machine which couldn’t stop lecturing us to ‘trust the experts’ during COVID suddenly can’t do the same when it comes to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool?
Why does anyone sit down with an interview for any of the mainstream media anymore? It’s all propaganda anyways, and the only people that watch it are zombies.
@jaketapper CNN/MSNBC are just modern day yellow journalism rags masquerading as objective. “Unhinged” is what you get when the journalist has no integrity
@srkntnyldz They’re missing one key ingredient: people. It’s empty. No one enjoying themselves, no one checking in, no one eating the “delicious” food. This lacks emotion and motivation.
@GovPressOffice You destroyed a state. And not a little state, the 5th largest economy in the world. Get your own house in order before you criticize the world.
@lamps_apple@royermattw Not only that the fucking idiots tied into the tributary as part of their Green initiative, which meant that the reflecting pool was mostly algae so no reflection was to be had.
