@weaverdare The through line of all meetings and sermons I’ve heard of late comports with that. We’ve bought into the folly of “be winsome” when what that really means is “be wimpy.” And too many obliged only to learn the hard way what that looks like for society.
Looking back on it now, it was a pretty gangster move to be out there fishing alone on the pier at age 4 with the bologna sandwich he probably prepared and packed himself that morning.
@mattvanswol@HistoryBoutique Good decision. If he is a really energetic kid, check out Konos curriculum. My son learned to spell on the trampoline and the wonders of the body by dissecting body parts of animals ordered via mail. DOING learning instead of HEARING what someone else learned.
@PeterDSousa@megbasham Textualism & stare decisis can reinforce one another. Sometimes they are in tension with each other. Precedence gives stability, predictability. But that's not enough to continue on w/ untenable decisions like Dred Scott or Roe v Wade. Justice Scalia adhered to both tools.
My colleague @MyrnaCBrown asked a great question: Who decided to push destructive values for an entire month and call it "pride?" One pastor's story: https://t.co/v5NNpUjyy9

She wants to turn White Christian cemeteries into dog parks so dogs can p*** on White corpses.

The US takes in more money than any country in the history of the world and still cannot pay its bills. It's not an income problem; it's a spend problem, a confiscation problem, an entitlement mentality and it's time to end it.
Elon Musk just proved that ownership in America is a legal fiction.
Musk: “You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own.”
Think about what property tax actually means.
You worked for decades. Paid it off in full. The deed is in your name.
Stop paying the government its annual fee. Watch them take it and sell it to someone who will.
You never owned that house. You were leasing it from an entity you never signed a contract with.
Income tax tells the same truth in softer packaging.
The government does not take a portion of your earnings. They decide how much of your own labor you are permitted to keep.
That is not semantics. It is a confession of who the system believes your time belongs to first.
Sales tax buries itself in the receipt. Two people exchange value voluntarily. A third party who contributed nothing takes a cut simply for allowing it to happen.
Now stack all three.
Taxed when you create. Taxed when you spend. Taxed when you hold. Taxed again when you die and try to pass it to your children.
At no point in that cycle does the system recognize your output as yours.
Because money is not an abstraction. It is crystallized human lifespan.
Every dollar taxed is an hour you already lived, already bled for, already gone.
The state is not managing an economy. It is claiming dominion over time you will never get back.
And spending it on systems you never asked for and actively oppose.
The institution extracting all of it faces zero obligation to perform. A contractor who delivers nothing gets fired. A bureaucracy that burns through trillions gets a budget increase the next fiscal year.
SpaceX pays taxes to the agencies that obstruct its launches. Tesla funds the regulators drafting rules to shield its competitors.
The builders are not subsidizing government. They are financing their own friction.
The tax code is 74,000 pages long. Not because the economy demands it. Because the extraction had to be buried in enough complexity that you would stop asking who it was designed to protect.
The past belonged to the people who taxed the world.
The future belongs to the people who build it.

A wise man once said, if you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, drive across it.
These European World Cup tourists are experiencing the REAL America for the first time: not New York City or LA, but middle America and all its hospitality. 🇺🇸
As someone who’s been singing the National Anthem at rodeo events for over 20 years, I’ll just say….
There’s a way it was intended to be sung, without your own spin. This was 💯the way! Bravo!
@GigaBasedDad I stayed home when my kids were little after I earned my JD/MHA. I knew there were trade offs. Marry a guy who earns enough, then return to work when the kids are bigger. Why is this so hard for some women to grasp?
