Mamdani just set off a devastating domino effect with his new tax on the second homes of the wealthy in New York City. He's bragging about forcing those evil capitalists to pay their fair share so the City can fund more libraries. But has he ever actually done the MATH? And I mean real math, not socialist math. Because the rich homeowners will do the real math. And they'll LEAVE.
Socialist math ALWAYS leads to suffering for the very people it promised to lift up. Here's what Mamdani just set into motion:
First, high-end owners will just dump their properties. Why pay the tax when it's cheaper to rent a nice hotel? And they'll sell low because 1) NOBODY wants to pay that tax, so buyers will just factor it into the property's cost and offer less, and 2) the longer the sellers wait to sell, the more they're being taxed. So, selling low is cheaper. Because math.
That will drive down luxury property values citywide. Sounds great, right? Well... unless you're a developer. Let's say you've already gotten funding from the bank to build new housing, including that affordable housing the socialists love so much. But now, the expensive units at the top of the building won't sell for nearly as much as the bank was hoping for. So, they run the math and the project stops.
Now, all that's left is a giant hole. And all those people hired to build that building - hundreds of excavators, plumbers, electricians, and ironworkers - just lost their jobs, their hourly paychecks, and their pension credits for the year.
From there, it's more basic math - supply and demand. The supply doesn't get built, so the demand increases and the rent for other affordable units goes up. The policy sold as "pro-working class" just made their lives more expensive.
But at least the City will generate more taxes for the libraries, right? Nope. The rich will dump their second homes, so there goes that tax money. Nobody will want to buy that property as a second home, so maybe it will sell to someone living there full time. That's a win by Mamdani's math, but it also means nobody's paying that tax anymore. And also, all those people who just lost their jobs won't be paying taxes either. But hey, at least you stuck it to the capitalists!
That's socialism in a nutshell. Thanks, Mamdani.
Senator Thune,
I mean this in earnest:
The American people are angry.
We gave you the majority. We gave Republicans the White House, House, and Senate.
President Trump is doing his job. The House is doing its job. The Senate is failing to act.
If you do not bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor and ultimately pass the bill into law, Republicans will lose both the House and Senate this November.
I think you underestimate the anger of the American people.
I think you underestimate that Republicans will NOT vote this November unless you secure our elections.
Do you want to be remembered as the Senate Majority Leader that was responsible for ushering in the decline of the United States?
Or do you want your legacy as one of the most productive Senate Majority Leaders that was responsible for the most transformative bills of election integrity in American history?
I’m coming to South Dakota for SAVE America rallies in March and I’ll be interviewing your constituents to ask them about how they feel about the Senate.
Respectfully and peacefully, we will not stop; we will not back down; we will not relent; we will not forget; and we will continue to push for the SAVE America Act until it’s signed into law.
Either wield power and be remembered as a hero in the majority
or lose it all with a democrat takeover as the minority.
See you soon, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, and Washington, DC — peacefully.

All of the biggest grifting retards in podcasting are upset about this meme.
Why?
Because they know when Dan returns, their audiences will drop in half. So what do they do? Try to discredit him before he returns.
It won't work. They're all cooked.
The Director and I, in conjunction with our employees in the field, have emphasized taking down the “764 network” – and I want to update you on a couple of the latest cases.
For those who may not know, the 764 Network is a heinous child exploitation ring that often targets children online and coerces them into acts of violence – self harm, animal abuse, suicide, and sexual abuse. At the beginning of the year, our teams redoubled our efforts to go after these networks and eliminate them. We have more than 300 investigations connected to this network going on nationwide, as we speak, and that number is growing. It is a top priority for us.
Out of @FBIBaltimore - recently our teams worked with partners to arrest an individual who had allegedly targeted 5 victims – one as young as 13. The individual is now in federal custody, and we expect more information to be released on this case soon.
Out of Arizona - recently, we had another case – where an indictment revealed an individual in federal custody had been found allegedly targeting kids as an affiliate of 764. The 9 victims involved were between 11-15 years old. Some of the allegations involve distributing child pornography, cyberstalking, animal crushing, and even conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.
I cannot emphasize enough - this is a major issue in America that not enough people know about. We are asking all parents to please be on guard – check in with your kids and monitor their internet usage. Consider your options for putting safeguards in place that limit what these networks can reach.
In the meantime, this @FBI will keep working day and night to destroy this network. It is a top priority. We are making progress, but the work isn’t done.
God bless America, and all those who defend Her.
