The Oscars are tonight.
I haven’t watched the orgy of celebrity worship for years, but now there’s another reason not to watch.
@EricDJuly points out that Award shows have become political, race-obsessed ceremonies that "shouldn't even be seen as legitimate."
It’s such a lie that we don’t spend enough on education, one that far too many people buy. We are among the top per-pupil spenders in the world on K-12. The problem with education is the system itself, not the endless amounts of cash we pour into it. Average annual per-pupil in the US is now close to $20k. What could you do with $20k for your child? Probably a lot better than what districts choose to do, which is pay more bureaucrats.
@VanJones68 Who shut the government down if it took 8 democrats to open up? Congress shouldn’t get paid during shutdowns & We need term limits! We need government accountability and stop the waste in spending. ACA not working & made heath care more expensive!
...Mamdani appears set to prove that the problem with the Soviets is that they were not sufficiently committed to central planning. Yet, as Milton Friedman observed, "if you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there'd be a shortage of sand."
Zohran Mamdani: “We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve."
Ronald Reagan: “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
@BretBaier I love your common ground segment.
Could you put on a master class for the judicial branch of our government?! Can both sides stop complaining and actually do their job?
There is no hate speech exception to the First Amendment. Nevertheless, the attorney general says "there's free speech, and then there's hate speech," and the government will "target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech."
The attorney general would be wise to read the words of the Supreme Court, which has repeatedly held that the "proudest boast" of America's free speech tradition is "freedom for the thought that we hate."
@JessicaTarlov So trust all pharmaceutical companies and their grifts in the government Jessica?! Where was all the science with the bullshit fed during all the Covid mandates?! Question them all and hold them accountable!
7 years ago… I reported on Philadelphia’s new tax on soda. The politicians promised to spend the money on early childhood education.
7 years later… here’s what happened:
Good morning! Today would be a great day to tell your representative to cosponsor my Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act (HR 2356).
If dual citizens run for office, they should disclose ALL countries in which they hold citizenship. Don’t you agree?
“We have to be unapologetic about our socialism,” says Zohran Mamdani, likely next mayor in NYC.
But he should apologize! Socialism ALWAYS fails.
MY last video covered some of his bad ideas, but sadly, he's got more.
Here’s Part 2:
A socialist will likely be my next mayor!
I don’t often report on local politics, but I make exception for Zohran Mamdani because people BELIEVE in him. He got a record number of votes in the primary!
Yet what he believes is just so STUPID.
Here’s why:
