I'm going through 2022 school shooting data, and this is your friendly reminder that many gun control groups routinely inflate school shooting numbers to scare people into thinking Uvalde happens every week. It doesn't.
Here a few of my favorite inclusions from Everytown:
Elon Musk got rejected by Netscape. He walked into the lobby, was too shy to talk to anyone, and walked out. Never got the job.
At his first company Zip2, the board demoted him. Twice. They refused to let him be CEO.
He got fired from PayPal as CEO while flying to his own honeymoon. The board voted him out mid air.
He almost died of malaria in 2000. Ten days in intensive care. Lost 45 pounds. A day from death.
His first child died at 10 weeks old.
His first rocket exploded. Falcon 1, flight one. Burned on the pad.
His second rocket exploded.
His third rocket exploded. The last of his money was nearly gone.
Tesla nearly went bankrupt in 2008. The closest he ever came to a nervous breakdown.
Both companies almost died on the same Christmas Eve.
He was sued by investors. Mocked by the people who built cars before him.
His childhood heroes, the astronauts who inspired him, testified against his company to Congress.
The Cybertruck window shattered on live stage in front of the world.
He overpaid for Twitter by his own admission and watched its value collapse.
He was beaten unconscious as a child and thrown down a flight of stairs.
He has said he goes to sleep alone and it kills him.
He failed in public, over and over, for thirty years.
He is the richest man in the history of the world.
The difference was never the absence of failure. It was the refusal to stop after it.
Again, you may not like the UFC thing at the White House, but the moment you hung a giant pride flag from the columns and had half-naked “trans” activists exposing themselves on the lawn, you lost all right to complain about desecration.
History will remember Elon Musk alongside DaVinci, Gutenberg, Fulton, Pasteur, Edison, Ford and Jobs.
History will have no recollection of any kind of Ro Khanna.
@HillaryClinton
Ma’am, I was the Air Force Lt. Colonel who carried the nuclear football for your husband inside that “people’s house” you’re suddenly so precious about. I saw it all up close for two years.
While Bill was getting blow jobs in the Oval Office from an intern and groping female Air Force enlisted crew on Air Force One, you and your staff treated the military with open disdain, like we were the help, not the men and women sworn to protect this nation. The disrespect for anything non-Clinton was palpable.
You lecture about “respect for the institution” while your husband lost the nuclear codes and shrugged it off.
And when you finally slinked out in 2001? You and your crew trashed the place—vandalism, theft, glue in drawers, obscene messages, stolen property, and filth left behind for the next administration. The GAO confirmed it. Classy exit from the “people’s house.”
The White House belongs to the American people, not your grifting dynasty. They just elected a fighter who actually respects the military and the office. Keep ripping off poor kids in Haiti, selling your merch and clutching pearls.
Sit down, bitch. The adults are back in charge.
Mitch McConnell's last act before going into the hospital was to burn the American people one last time on behalf of his beloved globalist, open-borders UniParty.
McConnell knows if Democrats can't cheat, they can't get elected in their current numbers and the UniParty, and its open-borders goals, will die.
...Last week, I spoke with a former California poll worker who said that most people still automatically produce their IDs. They were trained to tell people not to show any identification and told to refuse to look at the IDs when they were offered.
...The only value of these interviews is the insight of how the establishment and elite view the rest of the United States as knuckle-dragging, childlike creatures who are helpless without their guidance. It is not the inherent conceit but the contempt that is so striking.
Having Hillary Clinton talk about the lives of "real people" is about as authentic as a Chuck Schumer lesson on backyard grilling. Despite 83% of Americans favoring voter ID, Hillary declared, "most real people don’t have, and most older people, and most rural people don’t have" such IDs...
Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds:
No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house.
Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. https://t.co/yGDgJciDQZ
My blood just ran cold.
I told NO ONE in the media about Graham’s violence until the New York Times came to my home in April.
I was never GOING to tell anyone.
But HE knew what he had done.
And now we know HE told people 7 months before I ever said a word.
Because he knows what he did.
Thank you, Nick, for helping me prove that Graham was worried I would tell the world what he’d done to me.
SAVE ACT: Thom Tillis cosponsored the SAVE Act, then voted to kill it. He joined McConnell, Murkowski & Collins to sink the SAVE America Act 48-50. Joni Ernst skipped it. Utter betrayal of the American people.
What ridiculous ahistorical snobbery.
Teddy Roosevelt was one of America's greatest presidents and he regularly staged combat sports at the White House, even fighting in boxing matches and jujitsu. Like Donald Trump, he saw physical courage and tough competition as virtues intrinsic to America. The sneering of Dems and effete broadsheet journalists reveals their pusillanimity, not the sophistication they imagine. How embarrassing for them.
Bob Greene is the Board Chair for Rocky Mountain PBS
He says he hopes Trump has a stroke for his birthday leaving him unable to walk or speak
Any comment @PBS?
