The most absurd number in CPI? According to the US Government, the cost of health insurance has declined 33% over the last 4 years...

If you are on the verge of AGI or ASI, why isn’t your model smart enough to recognize espionage distillation in real time? You say “cure cancer in a few years.” Isn’t sniffing illicit distillation quite a bit easier than curing cancer? Why write letters to DC? Just use AGI.

The State of California has been run top to bottom by one party since 2011.

Here are their results:

1) highest state income tax
2) highest rate of poverty
3) highest rate of unemployment
4) highest rate of homelessness
5) highest energy costs

Hard to explain this away.

Joe Biden's Energy Secretary laughed when asked about Biden’s plans to bring gas prices down.

"That is hilarious!"

Today, the national gas price is down to $2.79 per gallon.

All we needed was a new President!

94% of Ro Khanna’s contributions came from outside his district (CA-17). Only 5% came from within District 17, while over $9M came from out of district.

He has become a hard leftist Congressman, abandoning the 56% Asian American immigrants who he supposedly is supposed to represent.

We want economic mobility and he is about to bring down the hammer destroying tech and jobs. I grew up in Fremont. I learned to code there. My parents bought their first home there. This is not what the people of CA-17 want. The aunties and uncles don’t want Ro. And they’re tired of him.

He is selling out our immigrant communities to role play as a hard leftist in DC, to play culture war games, to vilify businesspeople.

For what? For his aspirations for higher office. He forgot his community. And people who forget they are in public service to their community get removed from public office.

[david friedberg @friedberg]

love it. but let’s do more! let’s take 10% from millionaires and do better health insurance! and a train from LA to fresno! and groceries!

taking peoples assets after they’ve already paid 53% income tax on them is totally reasonable. or their pre-tax unrealized gains which forces then to sell illiquid assets or whatever... i’m just glad we’re gonna make this hard for them. they deserve it.

actually, why stop there?? if we get this to work, we can get 51% of people to vote to take ALL the assets of the 49%! make it a 100% wealth tax on anyone over the average. this could be great. then we can do giant government things because government has proven so good at doing things! in fact, we can send the money to somalia! “make somalia great again” could be your 28 presidential run campaign slogan??

america’s founding fathers definitely intended the union to form around these principles! magnificent

DOGE!

"The U.S. DOE is set to grant PG&E a record $15B low-interest loan for grid upgrades and emissions cuts. The multi-year loan aims to boost resilience amid rising power demand and extreme weather."

PG&E serves 5M homes in California. They are the most expensive and often, only, electricity alternative for those homeowners in part because of the complexity, permitting and net metering rules when a home tries to adopt solar in CA.

Other states make it much simpler, faster and is much cheaper, too.

In the last few days of the Biden Administration, PG&E convinced the DOE to give them a $15B loan. That same amount of money could, instead, give 500k-1M of the 5M homes PG&E oversees a complete solar + powerall combo which would make those homes resilient and self reliant. They would then not need the grid except in emergencies.

Not sure how this happened but the DOE should have at least considered both vs only helping the incumbent.

We have recently received many requests to suspend or otherwise impact accounts on the left.

However, 𝕏 is a free speech platform that aspires to give equal voice to all, within the bounds of the law.

That is what we will do.

I KNOW A HERO WHEN I SEE ONE

The Washington Post names me along with @elonmusk as one of several businessmen who are using their “megaphones” to spread “narratives” about the assassination attempt on President Trump.

I’m not sure what “narratives” they’re referring to, but I know what I saw, and I know what the crowd in Butler witnessed live.

At it turns out, my father-in-law lives in Pennsylvania and he was at the rally on Saturday. When the shots rang out and Trump went down, he said pandemonium broke out around him. Everyone feared the worst. 

But then Trump rose. Covered in his own blood, resisting the secret service’s efforts to whisk him away to safety, Trump raised his fist defiantly, and the crowd could see him say: “Fight. Fight. Fight.”

Immediately the fear of the crowd dissipated, the chaotic uncertainty lifted, and it was replaced with steely resolve. The crowd responded back as one: “USA, USA, USA!” 

This is not a “narrative.” It is the truth. Trump stood defiant in the face of an assassin’s bullet. There is no way to fake courage like that.

It was more important for Trump to let the crowd know that he was unbowed and unbroken than to be taken to safety.

Donald Trump has already been in the fight of his life for months, as vindictive Democrats seek to imprison him, but on this day he came within inches of losing it. He has risked everything for this country. 

It is now up to us, the American people, to show him that he does not stand alone. Let us reject the lies, the hoaxes, the hate and the division that the media has spread about this brave man, and support his resounding victory in November.
