A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.

[Jon T Bradshaw @jtylerb]

Amen to that. His interview with Larry Elder was a big wake up call for some. I still wonder why he said nothing to Biden when given the opportunity concerning "If you don't vote for me then you ain't black". You would think that comment would have been far more widely questioned

[Ameshia Cross @AmeshiaCross]

Charla is emerging as the biggest threat to fact-based news and policy. His lack of knowledge on policy issues yet amplified voice is a problem. He had been spreading disinformation for yrs unabated. The culture deserves better

[Jon T Bradshaw @jtylerb]

Been asking this for years.

Help me out here, Kathy. You’re saying the electric grid can’t handle ACs in the summer, but you also want everyone to replace their gasoline cars with electric vehicles. How does that work?

[Matt Couch @RealMattCouch]

Nailed it..

I’m sure we all remember how every single person in NPR fought to take the blame for their egregious censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story. I mean, it was crazy how they were all fighting to take responsibility for that.

So @RoKhanna is making the most stock trades in Congress. All with insider information! His kids own golf courses. Hey RO this isn’t right! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

[Andrew Kerr @AndrewKerrNC]

NEW: @FreeBeacon has the receipts on Ro Khanna’s obscene, oligarchic wealth:

—his 2 kids (under 10yrs old) own 3 private golf courses in Ohio (not kidding)

—his wife drives a $190,000 luxury Range Rover

—his house has a 4-story indoor elevator

Jesse, I stop engaging with people when I realise they are operating in bad faith, not reading what I am actually saying and are primarily interested in dunking on the people they are pretending to engage with.

For some reason there is a cadre of people here who hate Elon Musk so much they're incapable of processing any debate about any issue without seeing it as a pro or anti Elon point.

I was and remain extremely enthusiastic about any effort to cut public expenditure and bring the budgets of Western countries into some semblance of normality. And I think the way the debate is had whereby any reduction in spending is framed as killing people is unhelpful, which I explained. That doesn't mean that I can opine with certainty about the exact impact of DOGE. I just don't think the framing is helpful which is the only thing I've said in this entire discussion.

Beyond that, I have very little to say to someone who keeps trying to start a bitch fight with me by constantly tagging me into their tweets while promoting a guy who is a confirmed liar spreading claims about Israeli dog rapes.

Calling me a "guru" or a "midwit" won't help you because anyone who is familiar with my work knows that I have never presented myself as an authority on anything outside of my very limited area of expertise while also knowing that my IQ is significantly above average. You're just being rude because you don't agree with me which is rarely a sign of someone who is winning the argument.

I've always regarded you as a serious journalist so this is all a bit surprising. If you want to have a grown up conversation, I'm always up for that. Otherwise, carry on screaming into your echo chamber of Elon-haters but don't expect me to engage.

[Andrew Kerr @AndrewKerrNC]

Speaking of hoarding wealth, Khanna’s two young children are the proud owners of THREE private golf courses in Ohio, where member initiation fees run upwards of $45k

Khanna’s children — still in elementary school — earned up to $2 million from their golf courses in 2024.

Who was it that said he monetized hating capitalism a few weeks ago? He sure has. And he is today's oligarch.

[SaltyGoat @SaltyGoat17]

Nothing screams TRUE SOCIALIST like:

-A millionaire who owns 3 homes
-Arriving in a huge SUV
-To his private jet
-To fly out and give a paid speech
-On the evils of capitalism and fossil fuels

Am I right?

[Jon T Bradshaw @jtylerb]

And what is the charitable giving of someone like @NickKristof ? Or is he a typical libtard that thinks the Government should force us to donate, via taxes, to those things he wants to thrive without any personal liability? Douchecanoe. He probably cannot afford it farming wine grapes.....

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

This is why no one in any Western country can cut any welfare spending ever and why we keep going further and further into debt.

Because any time anyone reduces spending on anything, an example can be wheeled out of a person who suffered or even died as a result.

On this basis, there can never be too much spending, too much aid or too much tax.

Indeed, the author of the tweet I am quoting will almost certainly oppose paying taxes of 100% or having 100% of his country's GDP be used in aid to the developing world. Despite the fact that his failure to give all his/his country's money away is demonstrably killing people right now. How many lives could be saved by having all of his money go to Africa? How many millions could be saved by having all of the federal budget be sent to the poorest parts of the world?

[Jon T Bradshaw @jtylerb]

That should tell you everything, no?

[EducatëdHillbilly™ @RobProvince]

This dude actually changed laws making it legal to fuck kids and give people aids on purpose and he’s STILL not left wing enough for the modern democrat party…..

[Jeremy Kauffman 🦔🌲🌕 @jeremykauffman]

if one believes that America is required to tax its citizens to pay for ambulances around the world, what conceivable limiting principle is there?

why shouldn't America send as much as its GDP as possible to Africa?

[Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @christopherrufo]

The moral calculus here is insane. According to Kristof, the USA is responsible for every poor nation in the entire world. If an ambulance runs out of fuel in rural Liberia, that is our fault. The liberal has a pathological tension between the feelings of omnipotence and guilt.

Jillian Michaels: “I was a lifelong liberal. There’s no universe where Clinton was advocating for open borders, late-term abortions, transing children. That party has become unrecognizable to me.”

[Peter St Onge, Ph.D. @profstonge]

Turns out defunding USAID did not kill Africans.

Because the money wasn't going to Africa. It was going to buy elections and burn Tesla dealerships.

[Jon T Bradshaw @jtylerb]

I am OK with it as well. I don't condone his actions against the police but one has to ask how far you let people go when they become tools of failed state?

[Kentucky Girl @Notwokenow]

You know, Josh, I’m 100% ok with Muslim rapists being terrified of getting shot and killed by vigilantes.

I’m ok with their complicit families being terrified.

I’m ok with them not feeling safe in my country.

Maybe they should just NOT RAPE women.

How about that, Josh?

[Mr. Pool @MrPoolQ1]

Eric Trump just flipped the script on Chris Cuomo live on-air, leaving him shocked.

Cuomo accused President Trump of going after his political opponents the moment he took office…

Eric sounded off:

“Did we, did we try and bankrupt Biden? Did we raid Biden's home? Did we try and bankrupt Biden?”

“Did we weaponize every AG and DA against Biden? Do we do that against Hunter Biden who had a laptop from hell, pictures of cocaine, illicit drug use, prostitution?”

“Did we make up a dirty dossier? About Biden, did they try and destroy Biden's marriage? Did we make up stories that Biden had secret servers in the basement of his home communicating with the Kremlin in Russia?”

“Did we strip Biden off the ballot of multiple states? Did we take Biden off of Twitter and Instagram and Facebook and try and silence his voice so he couldn't communicate?”

“Did we put Biden in a courtroom every single day for nonsense to try and keep him off of a campaign trail to try and destroy his life?”

Well done @MrPoolQ1

Here is:

The missing half of the U.S. national debt has been identified.

The Federal Reserve CONFIRMS: The U.S. Congress has built the single largest racket empire on the planet:

U.S. NGOs have combined assets totaling $14.2 trillion of your tax money.

“India’s and Japan’s GDPs are each just over $4 trillion, Germany’s is $5 trillion, and together they total about $13.5 trillion. Guess what? The combined assets of U.S. NGOs equal $14.2 trillion of your tax money—and that of your children, grandchildren, and great-great-great-great-grandchildren.”

In other words, the root of all corruption… the racket—U.S. Congress has racketed half the U.S. national debt to the planet’s most profitable organizations,

2009. Obama announces $13 billion from the Recovery Act will be used for high speed rail projects across the country.

The high speed rail/money laundering scam goes back many years.

Imagine if the media looked into anything Obama had done as much as it has reported on the Reflecting Pool.
