Muslim kids viciously bullied an elderly white man. This barbaric violence is disgusting and unacceptable.

Time to slam the door on Islamic immigration and deport the Islamists before Western civilization is finished?

Good overview by @DavidSacks of what the DSA stands for. Like I wrote yesterday, use your voice, and vote, or cry on the tombstone of American exceptionalism sooner than you think. https://t.co/LaZuGW6pPQ

@GuntherEagleman If you actually look at Nixon’s life, Presidency, and career it was amazing. If the GOP would have had Congress impeachment efforts would have failed. He only resigned because the Democrats had the House and Senate.
I challenge everyone to visit his Presidential Library.

@thejefflutz New social contract? You mean new socialist contract.

No, nope, nada, no way pal. Government should never confiscate citizens assets.

Newsom said “It’s time for a national billionaires’ tax and a new social contract.” He framed it as fixing a broken system where 10% of people own two-thirds of the wealth, and pushed for a minimum tax on anyone worth over $100 million so the rich pay at least what their workers do.
The problem is he’s fighting
against the California version on the November ballot — the very 5% one-time billionaire wealth grab yet pushing a lower but National $100 million dollar wealth grab.. That’s not principle, that’s unethical politics. Further, there’s no mention of where the money will go.
The core idea of a “new social contract” that says no small group should have too much money. Wealth isn’t fixed — it’s created. Punishing people for building successful companies doesn’t create more jobs or wealth for everyone else; it just drives talent, investment, and jobs somewhere else. We’ve seen it happen in real time.

California Billionaire Tax: It’s not constitutional. California already has a cap in its constitution limiting taxes on intangible property like stocks and businesses to 0.4%. This 5% one-time “excise tax” on net worth is basically a new property tax by another name, and they’re trying to amend the state constitution to get around it. That alone makes it legally shaky.
Morally and ethically: Targeting a tiny group — about 200 people — and hitting them with a surprise 5% levy on everything they’ve built, including unrealized gains in their companies, feels like punishing success after the fact. It’s not a recurring tax, it’s a one-time raid dressed up as fairness. California already has the highest income tax rates in the country, and billionaires already pay a ton through that. This looks more like envy politics than sound policy, especially since it will chase people and businesses out of the state.
Even if the goal is helping people with healthcare, singling out one group to seize a chunk of their assets sets a nasty precedent. You don’t fix bad spending by grabbing more from the rich — they vote with their feet. We’ve already seen some big names leave over this.

Pirates: Iran deliberately laid mines right in the middle of the long-established international shipping lane — the Traffic Separation Scheme that’s been there since 1968. About 80 mines are still there, according to the UN’s maritime organization.
That forces ships to detour either hugging Oman’s coast — which is what the US and Oman set up — or closer to Iran’s shore, where Tehran wants them. Then Iran turns around and says, “You’re on the wrong route, you didn’t ask us first,” and hits ships that take the Omani path. It’s a manufactured problem they created to justify control. Classic mafia tactic.

Hey, why not freeze property taxes. Good for thee but not for me…

Mamdani envisions of future of less private housing and more public / social housing. This is just one step in that direction. What could go wrong?

[Jim Ems @JimEms5]

@Becky_Weiss_ Yes, rent has to keep pace with rising costs. Property taxes don’t get frozen, so why should rents get frozen
