I seem to remember about a gazillion Abigail Spanberger commercials emphasizing her law enforcement background and declaring she would be tough on crime.
The greatest threat to freedom often comes not from people trying to do harm, but from those absolutely convinced they are doing good.
Many people resist government actions that openly threaten their freedom. But encroachments made in the name of helping people can be much harder to recognize and resist.
To illustrate this point, Milton Friedman quotes former Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis (1916-1939):
“Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purposes are beneficial. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greater dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.”
This is really cool information and really hard to reliably get. Great job on this story and fascinating to find out the wide roster salary disparity, even within the same top conferences.
In the Big Ten, the biggest spender has a payroll about 2.5-3x the lowest. In the NBA last season, highest spending team was about 1.4x lowest spender.
Warner’s refusal to debate might be the most disqualifying thing about him.
It’s bad enough to run on not being a career politician 30 years ago and STILL be in office. (He promised to serve “no more than 2 terms” & is now running for a FOURTH term!)
But it’s just downright insulting to not think that you even have to show up to debate.
“It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it.”
— Thomas Sowell
Bernie’s argument here is that the people creating AI can’t control it, so they need him to control it, even though he can’t control a buzzer for his hair.
🚨 THEY SAID THE FBI DIRECTOR WAS “MISSING IN ACTION.”
Then Kash Patel dropped THIS on the Senate.
Watch the media bury it.
Predecessors took 33 days off a year.
Kash: 4 days this year.
They used Reagan National like a personal lily pad — $3.5 MILLION of YOUR money.
He killed that. Andrews and government fields only. Taxpayers off the hook.
Least personal travel of ANY FBI Director in history.
Highest work days. Highest results.
📉 Murder rate down 20 points
💊 Enough fentanyl seized to kill a quarter million Americans — 20% fewer kids dying of overdoses
🎯 ALL 10 of the FBI’s Most Wanted captured
💰 Six of the world’s top fraudsters — $2 BILLION stolen from Americans
👶 11,000 child victims found and located
🚔 54,000 violent felons arrested by the FBI alone — 90% increase in 18 months
That is making America safer than it’s ever been.
Media won’t run this. You will.
🎥 Watch him say it. Then RT it.

The Governor just scrapped the rule in Virginia that would keep boys out of girls’ sports and bathrooms.
Getting boys on your daughter’s sports team was so important to her, the Gov said she “burst into tears” it made her so happy. So much for being a “moderate.”
@BrianHJacobson Mmmm, not the flex that you think. Republicans have been calling for him to step down for a while and have been criticizing him for standing in the GOP’s legislative agenda
REMINDER: Every single Virginia Democrat voted AGAINST stopping insider trading by Members of Congress,
Every single Virginia Republican voted YES on the Stop Insider Trading Act.
Actions speak louder than words - and Virginia Democrats are corrupt to their core!
Of course they are. The Virginia speaker of the House is a convicted felon who made letting criminals out of jail his primary legislative goal…oh…did he not properly advertise that to voters before you gave him and Spanberger control of the Commonwealth!?
WE TRIED TO WARN YOU!
SICKENING‼️
Under Fake Moderate Spanberger, violent criminals are now TEN TIMES more likely to get released back on Virginia’s streets.
Listen to the heartbreak in the voice of victims’ families as Spanberger’s parole board heaps praise on a murderer.
NPR in 2022, 2023, and 2024 warned that climate change makes hurricanes more dangerous and more frequent.
Zero Atlantic hurricanes so far this year. Suddenly, NPR has nothing to say.
I’m glad President @realDonaldTrump stopped making taxpayers fund this propaganda machine.
When some of us have written about the rise of the DSA within the Democratic Party, https://t.co/OTrYGpoX4f, critics have repeated the DNC talking point that DSA supporters are a small fraction of the party. New polling shows the fallacy of that claim with 59% of the party saying that they are DSA supporters...
Filename says Elon. It’s not Elon.
It’s the Babylon Bee — a time traveler from 2025 showing up to kill Hitler… and then realizing the checklist overlaps: force people to follow “great ideas,” silence the dangerous ones, “undesirable” groups, segregated spaces with modern excuses, gun control for the wrong people, Margaret Sanger, socialized medicine, vegetarian.
She came to assassinate evil. She leaves complimenting a painting titled “an empire without Jews” — and says it sounds beautiful.
Satire. Ugly on purpose. And that’s why it sticks.
“Dave Hurt doesn’t need a lecture on America”
All 8 of his great-grandparents and all 16 of his great-great-grandparents were Black. His mother’s side was enslaved in Alabama. His father’s side was enslaved in Texas.
He still told a Colorado school board:
“I am NOT oppressed. I’m NOT a victim.
I travel this country, check into hotels, fly commercially, walk into stores, and order food. I go wherever I want, whenever I want. I’m treated with kindness, dignity, and respect from coast to coast.
My 3 children aren’t oppressed either.
I’ve taught them they are victims of only three things: their own ignorance, their own laziness, and their own poor decision-making.
We are not victims of America. We are not victims of some unseen 190-year-old force floating in the ether.”
That’s a father who refuses to hand his kids a grievance script. More of this.
Less of the industry that profits from telling them they’re helpless.

Mark Warner is terrified to debate @GenBert2026.
Mark has broken every promise he ever made to Virginia voters, and now he doesn’t even have the courage to defend his record!
