We can't legislate away evil, but we can remove every obstacle to self-defense. No school, no church, no movie theater in America should be left defenseless. More good guys with guns means less crime. Period.
I mentioned this earlier but there are a lot of interesting consequences to autonomous driving. One of them is that insurance companies start to look more financially predictable...they charge lower premiums, but they also pay out less. This will flow through to reinsurers as well.
Case in point, Lemonade cutting premiums by 50% if you drive a Tesla with FSD. Important implications for all car insurers.
Oklahomans shouldn’t have to pay rent to the government just to live in their own homes.
I’m working on a bold plan to make Oklahoma the first state in America without property taxes — starting by eliminating them for seniors and veterans.
When county budgets are ballooning and community colleges have so much excess tax money they’re offering free tuition to non-residents, it’s clear the system is broken.
It’s time for real, common-sense conservative reform. Let’s make Oklahoma the biggest and boldest state in America when it comes to protecting property rights.

Student at Oklahoma State University was reprimanded and threatened by a faculty member after he spoke at a meeting to honor Charlie Kirk.
Hey @okstate, is it your policy to discriminate against conservatives?
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.”
John 15:18-19, 21
Keep living in a manor worthy of His calling. Do not be discouraged.
Many people misunderstand the logic of focusing on Harvard. I don’t think this is random or petty. It has important societal consequences:
1. Harvard had been a bastion of insiders educating and placing the next generation of insiders in the economy and government. But if you have, instead, become a center of woke ideology then this source of talent has been completely corrupted and can’t be trusted anymore to run companies or government. Inasmuch, the head of the snake must be chopped off.
2. Harvard is the textbook example of an asset management company masquerading as a non profit educational institution. This arbitrage is bad for the US and needs to change - otherwise the incentives and behaviors of administrators will never improve. Administrators should not be running the top schools in America. Great professors and brilliant students should. These places should be free-wheeling centers of battling ideas and curiosity. Not DEI based groupthink.
3. Harvard has consistently had so many back and side doors into their school while blatantly locking the front door to pure merit. This has been well documented and went to the Supreme Court who concurred. This is a horrible way for American society to model itself.
4. Harvard has a level of low-key antisemitism that has been called out by many including former alums. It seems to try and superficially address it to say “Nothing to see here” which has appeased no one.
Fixing Harvard is about fixing a bunch of societal rot in America.
I think President Trump has sniffed this out and won’t relent. I encourage Harvard to fold. They have a losing hand.

🚨 BREAKING: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis calls on Elon Musk to put his resources toward a BALANCED BUDGET and TERM LIMITS FOR CONGRESS amendment, says that would be FAR more successful than a new political party.
"You need to do a BALANCED BUDGET amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and you can do that through the states. You can do it through Article 5. We've got 28 states that have approved this! There's another four or five that are on the docket. Once you hit 34, then you write an amendment and then the states are able to ratify that."
"If @ElonMusk wanted to weigh in on that and work on those state legislatures, he would have a MONUMENTAL impact doing this."
"And we also need term limits for members of Congress. So you can do both of those things."
"When you do another party, especially if you're running on some of the issues that he talks about. that would end up. if he funds Senate candidates and House candidates in competitive races, that would likely end up meaning the Democrats would win all the competitive Senate and House races."
"We do have a problem in the Republican Party with these DC congressmen, they always run saying there's out of control spending and they're going to spend less and they never do it."
"@ElonMusk was doing DOGE and a lot of Congress didn't want anything to do with actually adopting the DOGE cuts!"
"The way you do that is expose that in a primary and show that there's another way forward."
"Honestly, if you're concerned about the debt, I wouldn't even worry about that because I don't think just electing a few better people is gonna change your trajectory."
"The incentives in Washington are going to lead to these outcomes really regardless of the outcome of elections at this point."
