@WSJ @WSJopinion @RoKhanna This economically illiterate clown thinks taxing paper will get him billions.

A must read:

[Restoring the West @RestoringWest]

In 2020, Mamdani candidly described his own strategy: use Muslim voters for his base, then deploy progressive "validators" to launder his appeal to guilt-driven white liberals.

Since he took office, anti-Jewish incidents made up 70% of NYC hate crimes in July.

@libsoftiktok BOOM! Indeed...

It gets taken for granted, but once again Florida shows the world how to run an election.

@NickJFreitas Dumb, ignorant, AND deceitful.

@avestruzeterea No creo que los usadores de trapitos de tortillas propali (lo que sea que eso signifique) sepan definir la palabra "genocidio." Y para cuando se revise en 2029, la CI probablemente ni exista.

“A man's success is not a public asset.”

[James Hafner @JamesH30189490]

You say you make the philosophical case. I read the essay. There is no philosophy in it. There is arithmetic, and there is need.

The one premise doing all the work is never argued: that one man's need constitutes a claim on another man's property. It doesn't. Need is not a mortgage on the life of the man who fulfilled his.

You say the tax "asks" billionaires for 5%. A tax does not ask. If it asked, it would be philanthropy. It compels — and your entire moral posture depends on the reader not noticing the difference.

You call it a "social contract." A contract requires consent. A decree written by Congress and imposed on 938 people who never signed it is not a contract. It is force wearing a contract's clothes.

And your proudest boast is your most damning admission: Newsom taxes transactions — you tax OWNERSHIP itself. Stock never sold. Value never realized. Not "we tax what you do," but "we tax what you are."

You welcomed an argument on the merits. Here it is: a man's success is not a public asset, and no number of people needing his property converts it into theirs.

That is the moral test of our time. You are failing it.

@TheBabylonBee @grok No better villain than Tom Sowell to scare the shit out of her.

@Hoainguyen888 Naturally. He's an Arsenal fan!

@davidharsanyi Yes, they do.

Okay. I’ll “make it make sense.” Virginia has a constitution that applies in Virginia but not in those other states, and the government of Virginia did not follow that constitution, which is illegal.

@IrvingGatell Tenderloin DIstrict en S. Francisco. Resultado d e la prop 47 de gobiernos demócratas incapaces de controlar la entrada de fentanilo. La izquierda apesta en ambos lados de la frontera.

@IrvingGatell "We can't close this deficit with savings alone"

[Lee Zeldin @epaleezeldin]

Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today’s self-implosion by @rosadelauro was quite remarkable to witness. Without apology or regret, I will always adhere to the best available reading of federal statute pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright.

[Juan Puig @JuanCPuig]

@MaryAnastasiaOG Yep, we completely wasted it. No joint strategy, no shared narrative, no real cooperation. Just three countries doing their own thing while relations got worse.

Classic French strategic autism: keep America’s military protection but act independent and flirt with Beijing.
It never works. They’ll just weaken NATO and still get screwed by China.
