LINDSEY GRAHAM: “I go back to S.C. and I’m asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the Middle East. To all the isolationists: I’m not with you, I’m with Israel. God bless Israel. We should move all of our stuff to Israel.”
He actually said this on live television.
It was an honor to visit your husband’s grave today on your behalf, and to pay my respects. It was wonderful to see the beautiful flowers representing many others who did the same. Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and to the loved ones they left behind. Thank you for your service and sacrifice @SharrellAnne2 🙏🏽
Political policy is not a "team" sport. Being on team is not anything the Founders would have adhered to. Principle above team in policy is always the right thing to do. Team politics is what has led us to where we are with tribalism and massive debt.
Thomas Massie chose to end his career with this despicable line about Congressman-elect Ed Gallrein: “I had to find him in Tel Aviv.”
Rather than exit with dignity, Massie just proved President Trump was right to send him into early retirement.
God bless Thomas Massie.
He walks out of this with his honor intact. He’s a patriot & kept his integrity.
As long as the voters give their votes to whoever can run the most ads we will have politicians who are purchased by foreign governments & corporate interests.
Massie: $5.5M raised. Average donor gave $100. His opposition: $32 million. Three billionaires, Secretary Hegseth on the ground, four presidential attacks in one day, all to silence the guy fighting for the Epstein files. Trump calls elections rigged. Look in the mirror. Go Massie.
For years, @RepThomasMassie was popular among MAGA: until he opposed a couple of Trump policies, and Trump told his followers to hate Massie him because he's a "grandstander" who accomplishes nothing. Overnight, huge numbers of MAGA followers started reciting that like some mantra.
Last night, Massie just helped defeat renewal of warrantless domestic spying on Americans: accomplishing more -- just in this alone -- than 90% of House members.
Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.
AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
Take it from me, a recent empty nester:
The Good Old Days don’t feel like it at the time.
It feels more like hard work and struggle. The days are long but the years fly by.
Then, one day you wake up and the house is quiet.
One of my most cherished memories is coming home from work each day and opening the creaky back door to our 1947 craftsman home.
My 3-year-old daughter (now 21) would drop her toys and run down the hall—her footsteps booming on the old wood floor—to greet me.
I love my life and don’t want to go back, but I do wish I could pass one message across time to 35-year-old me:
You’re living the Good Old Days right now. Savor every moment.
Love this from #Illini head coach Brad Underwood - asked if he has any issue/finds it unfair to have to play Houston IN Houston in the Sweet 16.
"I could care less... I'm an old JUCO ball coach. I drove on 16 passenger fans. I drove from Dodge City, Kansas to Mesa, Arizona for a basketball game... If you had told me back then that I'm getting to coach basketball in the Sweet 16 and play Houston - I would sign up for it, I would crawl to get there."
Says regardless of where the game is, Illinois would/will need to play well to beat the Cougars.

Solomon, the wealthiest man in history, reached this conclusion: “I said in my heart, ‘Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.’ But behold, this also was vanity.” (Ecclesiastes 2:1, ESV)
Affordability: Everyone is talking about it. It’s entirely understandable and easy to fix…just no one wants to really fix it.
#1 - Governments (Fed, State and Local) + Regulation eat up 51% of our GDP (everything we produce). If government takes that much from us no wonder we can’t afford things.
#2 - The Fed has tripled the money supply in 18 years. Who wins when that happens? People with assets. People without assets end up with higher prices, but no more resources to pay for things. The Fed has caused one of the largest increases in inequality in the history of America. And guess what? For those with lower incomes, things are less affordable.
So, what happens when big government and dumb Fed policy combine to cause inequality and un-affordabilty? Younger generations (who can’t afford assets) start blaming older generations (who have accumulated assets). Younger generations start gambling on single day options and meme coins. And voters start looking for even more government redistribution, which will only make things worse.
The only way to fix this is to dramatically cut the size of government (both overall spending and the size of the Fed). But DC won’t do this, and voters who have learned to live off of government will resent it.
So, either we bite the bullet and fix our deficits and broke governments, or things will just get worse. Your choice. Which way will you vote?
Trump just signed a bill I forced through Congress to realize his campaign promise of releasing the Epstein files!
But then he said of MTG, “She started backing perhaps the worst republican congressman in our history. You know stupid person named Massie”
