There was a line from Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural address yesterday that took my breath away. He said he intended to replace “the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Collectivism in its various forms is responsible for the deaths of at least one hundred million people in the last century. Socialist and Communist forms of government around the world today—Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, etc.—are disastrous. Catholic social teaching has consistently condemned socialism and has embraced the market economy, which people like Mayor Mamdani caricature as “rugged individualism.” In fact, it is the economic system that is based upon the rights, freedom, and dignity of the human person. For God’s sake, spare me the “warmth of collectivism.”
Yes. An effective ban. But DEQ will still gaslight and say “we’re not preventing manufacturers from selling diesel trucks in Oregon…” Either they don’t understand business, the market, the real world, how trucks work, or they just don’t care. I’m not sure which is worse.
Tariffs can be a bad idea, unless protecting a domestic industry being targeted by a foreign country.
But NOT threatening to use tariffs is a bigger mistake. Trade is a rolling negotiation.
And sometimes implementing tariffs is necessary to remain credible.
Nancy Pelosi just told CBS Sunday Morning that Joe Biden should be added to Mt. Rushmore 🤣
I kid you not.
Even liberal anchor Lesley Stahl was like “what the hell?” 😂
@LarsLarsonShow No! It sounds like a good idea but can you imagine how that could skew voting tendencies? Any income tax proposal would always be other people’s money. Old folks vote at the highest percentage and are not immune to voting in their own selfish best interest.
Kamala Harris trying to center her entire campaign around abortion is honestly offensive. How dare she think the ONLY issue women in America care about is abortion. I’m a woman, and I’m against the murder of children in the womb.
Its all demeaning and ridiculous.
The assassination attempt on President Trump is a logical consequence of repeatedly comparing him to Adolf Hitler. After all, if Trump truly was another Hitler, wouldn’t it be their moral duty to assassinate him?
@Sparklepuff2 @sayitslp @frizzyroselle@swardtherapy This is literally the definition of aphantasia! My husband only recently realized he was this way. Me, I can see pictures as vividly as the tv. Though, I find it darned near impossible to visualize "done".
