AS A FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR ALLOW ME TO PRESENT THE INDISPUTABLE FACTS OF ONE-PARTY RULE IN MA:

MA is DEAD LAST in housing affordability.

MA is DEAD LAST in private sector job growth.

MA is #1 MOST EXPENSIVE state related to healthcare costs.

MA is #1 MOST EXPENSIVE state related to childcare costs.

MA is #1 MOST EXPENSIVE state related to electricity costs in the continental United States.

MA is #5 related to the percentage of people on food stamps (over 1.1 million - 16%).

MA ranks in the TOP 10 most OVERTAXED states in the country.

THE RESULT:

MA is #1 - for people in the prime of their working lives - LEAVING the state for good.

Maybe it’s time for the people of MA to vote for a non-career politician - an outsider - to the one-party that’s in control - and see what happens.

Follow the incentives.

No matter how badly a government program is failing, a small group will always benefit enough to fight like hell to keep it alive.

The broader public, stuck paying for it, almost never organizes with the same ferocity to kill it.

That’s why broken programs survive for decades.

Concentrated gains beat diffuse costs every time, until we decide to match their intensity when it comes to abolishing these special privileges.

This paragon of moral virtue left Congress in 2001 to become a pretend ‘investment banker’ for Lehman Brothers. He didn’t go to NY and hustle clients. He stayed in Ohio, taking a generous salary and bonuses - trading on his government connections. He was not qualified to be a real banker. He had no background or education in finance - he had a Rolodex full of politicians and ‘connected’ people which he sold.

Lehman was one of the worst of the investment banks, getting so over leveraged in securities no one understood that it went belly up in 2008. That set off the financial crisis that ruined a lot of lives. But in 2008 this man here took a bonus of over $400 thousand.

He’s not all that unique. He’s just another guy who got into Congress and turned it into a business. But such people have no right to claim moral high ground over anyone.

What’s really striking about Establishment Republicans like Mike DeWine is that they really don’t think working class Americans should see their incomes go up.  Every time the labor market starts to get tight they want to bring in more workers to hold down wages.

Have you noticed the concept of cool is somewhat irrelevant these days, because it's predicated on the historical tendency to become hot, lose your temper or have a visceral, simmering anger.

The younger generations have that impulse surgically (more or less) removed, by the schools, psychologists and other institutions. One of the worst things you can do, they're taught, is to get angry, especially when it includes judging someone else's behavior. There aren't many Gen Z or Gen Alpha hotheads. Their anger seems mostly to be channeled into well-crafted online posts and replies.

You're looking at a drone shot of Byron, New York, where thousands of acres of solar panels have swallowed up a county that boasts the MOST amount of productive agricultural land in the entire state.

This is only a portion of the panels that have been anchored into Byron for Excelsior Solar.

With the newly announced Brusselville Solar on the ORES docket, this aerial view will only encompass a fraction of the total solar footprint.

Those responsible for this must be held accountable. This video should be on NATIONAL news.

We are going to lose our state and the land that feeds us very quickly if there is not immediate intervention.

This is dystopian, anti-human, catastrophic to wildlife, a direct threat to our future food autonomy, and the largest land grab of our American lifetimes from generational landowners to foreign corporations.

And it's all on purpose.

Up and down the pillowcase.
Fat fell down and broke his face,
And that’s how Skinny won the race.”

Had the opportunity to tour the ICE facility in Rapid City today with @SecMullinDHS. Grateful for the men and women who help keep our country safe and secure.

yeah sure it has been hot before too... 🤷‍♂️ just look at the insane heatwave in france back in 1911, which was one of the deadliest in history. a massive high-pressure system just parked over western europe and created over 70 days of non-stop heat and drought between july and september. it ended up claiming around 41,000 lives, and the absolute majority were sadly infants and toddlers under two years old... so no it wasn't exactly better in the good old days before AC, even if some people like to completely forget history. just a thought.

Gee, I wonder why they want to pray out in public. 🤔 What could possibly be the reason. Big mystery…

[Tommy Robinson 🇬🇧 @TRobinsonNewEra]

Muhammadan lot tries praying in public in Poland and finds out:

“This is Poland! Jesus Christ, understand! This is Poland and that’s the end of it. You will not be spreading any rugs here.”

@massauditor Is there something you want to tell us?

[unnamed star @skycult]

Sad.

[Theo Wold @RealTheoWold]

If you live in Idaho, your tax dollars are allowing large corporations like Micron and Chobani to build federally subsidized housing projects specifically for an H-1B/ refugee/illegal alien workforce.

Not only do these projects result in Idaho workers being displaced by foreigners, but these corporations take over our land and water, eliminating our ability to grow our own food and feed ourselves.

We are losing the rural, open ranching heritage that shapes our culture and makes for a unique type of American man, woman, and family.

The pioneering spirit that so many associate with the American West isn’t shaped and cultivated in a lifestyle mall or corporate parking lot.

Someday a conservative woman will run for office in the US and be an exception to the rule. In the meantime, we look out and what do we see? Karen Bass. Maura Healey. Kamala Harris. Spanberger. Michelle Wu.

Disasters.

[Rachel Wilson @Rach4Patriarchy]

Giving women political power was a terrible mistake and there’s mountains of evidence over the last century to prove it.
