@lukestamps I cooked a butt last night and brisket this evening. Ribs in the morning. Found a deal at Kroger a few weeks ago on brisket. BOGO.

FGT.

(Fried in beef tallow I rendered myself from smoking a brisket for Memorial Day)

@FreddyLA7 Southwood Kitchen is amazing. The beef tenderloin risotto is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

@aubietiger1928 A friend of mine/ Friend of Aubie lived in Ridgewood. Saw him pulling in riding in the passenger seat with his arm hanging out the window. Made me laugh.

Dear Senator Sanders,

Oh, this is RICH. This is so perfectly, exquisitely, weapons-grade rich that I had to put down my anatomy exams and just... appreciate it for a moment.

The man who got thrown out of a SOCIALIST HIPPIE COMMUNE in Vermont in 1971 — after THREE DAYS — for refusing to do any actual work while everyone else planted, harvested, and hauled water, is out here telling me the OLIGARCHS want to control everything.

Three. Days. The communists gave you a longer trial period than most employers give to someone who steals from the register.

Here is what Jim Quinn's Law Number Two says, and I want every single person reading this to tattoo it somewhere useful: "If you want to know what liberals are up to, pay attention to what they accuse conservatives of doing."

Senator, you OWN THREE HOMES. A Burlington residence. A D.C. townhouse. A $575,000 vacation lake house in North Hero, Vermont — purchased in 2016, the same year you were touring the country telling college students the system is rigged. Your net worth sits somewhere between $2.5 and $3 million. You have pocketed over $2.5 MILLION in book royalties since 2011. That elevator is clearly not stuck between floors for you, is it.

And then — THEN — during your "Fighting Oligarchy Tour" with AOC, you spent over $550,000 in CAMPAIGN FUNDS on PRIVATE JET TRAVEL. Half a million dollars on luxury jets to lecture working Americans about the dangers of wealth.

When Fox News caught you boarding a Bombardier Challenger 604 — a jet that runs up to $15,000 PER HOUR — you did not apologize. You did not even blink. You looked directly into the camera and said, and I am quoting this verbatim because it is the most accidentally honest thing you have ever said: "You think I'm gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United?"

Senator. THAT IS OLIGARCHIC THINKING. That is TEXTBOOK "the rules apply to you people, not to me." That is the elevator music of every single billionaire you have spent 35 years pretending to oppose. In a battle of wits with your own stated beliefs, you showed up completely unarmed.

Thirty-five years in Congress. You know what your personal legislative output looks like? Eight bills passed. EIGHT. In three and a half DECADES. That works out to 0.23 bills per year. I have produced more graded anatomy exams in a single semester. Your two greatest solo legislative achievements — the ones with your name on top, the thing YOU actually DID — are the naming of a post office in Danville, Vermont, and the naming of a post office in Fair Haven, Vermont.

You named. Two. Post offices.

You are as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to actually passing legislation, but you want me to believe you are the vanguard of the working class. That sounds like a YOU problem.

Quinn's Law #25: "Liberals are great at giving away other people's money." You have been living PROOF of that law for 35 years. You give away everyone else's money — from a vacation home on a lake — while spending half a million on jets because you are far too important to wait in line with the taxpayers funding your lifestyle.

You want to talk about oligarchs controlling the media? You have been IN the media for four decades. You just finished a $75 million documentary. You have a book deal. You have a podcast. You HAVE the megaphone and you are using it to tell people that other people have the megaphone. The gene pool really needed a lifeguard for THAT particular reasoning.

I am a high school science teacher in Northeast Ohio. I support a family of six on a teacher's salary. I am not particularly impressed by a man with three houses, $550,000 in jet receipts, and 0.23 bills per year telling me he stands with the working class. More famous than wise, Senator. More famous than wise.

The hippie commune knew it in 72 hours. How long is it going to take everyone else?

IF you agree: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this.

COMMENT below — do YOU think a man with three homes and a half-million dollar private jet habit speaks for working Americans? Tell me.

And if you want MORE of this — the data, the history, the science, the stories — JOIN Bski's Classroom community on X or YouTube.

But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who can actually do math, a retired Army combat medic who knows what genuine sacrifice looks like, and apparently one of the few people left who finds it suspicious that the most vocal enemy of oligarchy just cannot bring himself to wait in line at the airport with the rest of us.

@BiblicalBeauty https://t.co/M2FR4mAHFd By far, my fav was this one though: https://t.co/MxcqVphlzE (my friend wrote this, and it should be a movie)

@kpreston722 @ben05AU 100% agree. I had those lower rows for a few years and they SUCK. Above row 10, you’re good.

@BigPeter Bifenthrin is excellent for killing everything. (I’m an Extension agent). I’d rotate with Demand Duo or Advion WDG. I always advise to spray 2’ up the foundation and 3’ out on the ground-then around all doors/windows/openings/pipes, etc. controls ladybeetles/roaches/stink bugs

"The thing that China has done brilliantly is they've undercut the continuation of the tool and die skilled trade in America."

@smartereveryday: "It costs $60,000 to make the tool in America, we'll do it for $15,000. The Germans have no choice, they're going to pay $15,000, they send it to America and tell the Americans to run the parts."

"If they can break the intellect chain, they beat us. And I think that's brilliant, and we're stupid for letting that happen."

@crogers_htown I’ve been 3 times. Since its in the fall I’d check out Kyoto for the fall colors. Japan is incredible. Friendly people, very shy. Tokyo is crazy but awesome. Very very safe. I’d highly recommend getting an unlimited rail pass before you go. Good on any transportation.

@m_takewaka Alabama has 3 distinct sauces: south Alabama, mustard based; central Alabama, tomato based sauce; north Alabama, white sauce, mayo based (unique in the BBQ world) - Excellent on chicken. And don’t call grilling out a barbecue! Barbecue is slow cooking.

@jaysonyork A former worship leader at a church I went to said he wants to focus on 3 things: 1. Does the song honor the Lord, 2: is the song theologically sound and 3: is the song “singable” by the congregation. Many of these emotional songs miss most of these marks.

He was DEFEATED ELEVEN TIMES.

Attacked. Threatened with DEATH. Nearly blind.

Addicted to opium just to function. They told him to stop. He spent forty-six years refusing.

His name was William Wilberforce. Born in Hull, 1759.

He could have lived a comfortable life. Wealthy family. Safe seat in Parliament.

Instead he chose to destroy the most powerful economic system in the British Empire.

The slave trade.

He didn't fight alone. Thomas Clarkson rode 35,000 miles gathering evidence.

Olaudah Equiano, man who had been enslaved himself, gave testimony that no politician could ignore.

Wilberforce took their evidence to Parliament.

They voted no. He came back. They voted no. He came back. Lost by eight votes.

MPs deliberately stayed away so they wouldn't have to choose a side.

He came back. Again. And again. And again.

By now his eyesight was nearly gone. His body was breaking. He'd been on opium since he was 29.

Twenty years after he started, they voted again.

283 to 16.

The slave trade was abolished.

But he wasn't finished. Slavery itself was still legal. He fought for another twenty-six years.

In July 1833, lying in bed, barely able to move, he received word. Parliament had voted. Slavery was abolished across the entire British Empire.

Three days later, William Wilberforce died.

He held on just long enough.

They buried him in Westminster Abbey.

This is a really good article. AI is going to wipe out millions of jobs. It’s happening now. Everything is changing. The avalanche is already here. Most of what we’re currently arguing about will be irrelevant very soon.
