๐บ๐ธ September 14, 2001. Ground Zero.
President Bush climbed onto a wrecked fire truck with a retired FDNY man named Bob Beckwith and a bullhorn.
A worker in the pile yelled that he could not hear him.
Bush: โI can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!โ

NEW: President Trump makes a major promise at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas: $5,000 for every adult U.S. citizen if Republicans win both the House and Senate in the midterms.
โI will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.โ
I don't love the "as a one-armed paper hanger" tweets, BUT as someone who grew up around govt programs (and had a single mom who went from welfare to work) - part of what drew me to conservatism was the fight to reform these programs.
I saw what they did to the community.
To see so many fellow "conservatives" claim that we're never going to cut spending or limit government so we should just go ahead and get a piece of the pie is frustrating, to say the least.
This is why we can't get anywhere, because many on the "right" don't care -that- much about trying to cut spending. As he says, they see it as a pipe dream.
Yep. I appreciate the pipe dream some have of "cutting spending." It makes a great slogan, and has been used to raise money for campaigns for my entire life. Never happens though. Time for real Americans to have access to these funds.
@DeAngelisCorey@SteveDeaceShow Ok, I'll bite. Is there a regulation that you have to send your kids to daycare as there is that you have to school them?
When it comes to communities and data centers, who benefits and who pays?

I'm supposed to believe that free-market conservatives expressing concern about govt programs are anti-marriage, anti-white, anti-meritocracy, etc - but defending Tucker Carlson is honorable?
Online heads are exploding over a common sense redirection of existing funds with their primary objection being โBut Socialism!โ Is it because it has to do with benefits being made available to stay at home families or does the logic extend further?
Hey letโs make sure white people arenโt discriminated against in subsidized college loans. โBut Socialism!โ
How about allocating federal highway funds to where people live and not build bridges to nowhere? โBut Socialism!โ
Can we at least make sure our science grants fund reproducible research instead of DEI? โButโฆ.Socialism!โ
Thatโs not an argument, itโs a bumper sticker.
