Spiritual warfare is raging, an unfortunately evil has been winning. 10/7 was evil. What is being done to children in the name of "gender-affirming care" is evil. Cheering the execution of an American citizen is evil. 1/n
Question for MAGA from a liberal woman. "Hi, I'm just wondering if you guys who voted for Trump – did you vote for the Department of Education to be dismantled? Because that's what he's doing right now.
FDR is the most overrated president in American history and it is not close.
People treat him like a saint. The reality is he inherited a recession and turned it into the longest depression in the history of the developed world. Every other major economy on earth recovered faster than the United States did under FDR. Sit with that. We had the most resources, the most industry, the most capacity, and we recovered slower than countries that got bombed.
Unemployment was still 19% in 1938. Six years into the New Deal. Six years of "bold experimentation" and one in five Americans still could not find work.
Why? Because his policies were economically illiterate. The NIRA cartelized entire industries and made it illegal to lower prices during a deflationary collapse. He paid farmers to slaughter livestock and plow under crops while people stood in bread lines. He launched a war on business so aggressive that investment dried up because nobody knew what insane rule was coming next. Even his own Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, admitted in 1939 that they had spent enormous sums and "it does not work" and that unemployment was as high as when they started.
Then in 1937 his policies triggered a second brutal crash so embarrassing the textbooks gave it its own polite little nickname, the "Roosevelt Recession," so they would not have to attach his name to the failure in the obvious way.
A UCLA study in 2004 concluded the New Deal prolonged the Great Depression by roughly seven years. Seven years of extra suffering sold to you as heroism.
So what actually saved the economy? Not the alphabet agencies. Not the fireside chats. A world war. Twelve million men shipped overseas and the entire planet's industrial competition reduced to rubble. That is the "recovery." That is the legacy.
Strip away Pearl Harbor and FDR is a guy who took a bad recession and stretched it into a decade of misery with bad economics and a cult of personality. He is not ranked on results. He is ranked on the luck of being in the chair when Hitler invaded Poland.
Greatest marketing job in the history of the presidency. Nothing more.
Stress along the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults in SoCal has reached the highest levels in 1,000 years, according to new research.
The study found that stress normally released in large earthquakes has continued to grow up to unprecedented levels. It also found that the Cajon Pass could cause a joint rupture of both faults simultaneously. https://t.co/Q8ZRQ0Zclu
The problem with billionaires/trillionaires is their concentrated economic power. So that wealth not being “in the bank” and instead reflecting ownership of huge swathes of economic activity is not a comforting distinction.
No way. The only statistical category he ever led the NFL in was Interceptions. And outside of the 2 Super Bowl runs, he never won another playoff game.
Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds:
No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house.
Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. https://t.co/yGDgJciDQZ
@BurtMaclin_FBI We dragged the Obama administration for delivering an actual pallet of cash - $1.5 billion. In this deal, Iran gets $25 billion. That makes it pretty clear.
Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.
History's first trillionaire.
