Happy Day

I tie flies and write short stories about fly fishing, middle of the road guy now politically homeless.

[Leo @Leonajardinho]

My coworker's mother passed away last November.

She left her modest $190,000 house to him clear and free, no mortgage, completely paid off after thirty years of factory work.

He moved into the home in January to finally settle the estate.

Two weeks ago, a letter arrived from the state Medicaid estate recovery office.

Because his mother spent four months in a rehabilitation facility before she passed, the state quietly slapped a retroactive $114,000 lien against the property title.

He called the state health department, frantic, asking how a hospital stay could bankrupt an inherited home that had no mortgage balance.

The caseworker sighed and told him:

"Federal law requires state programs to claw back healthcare costs from deceased estates. The house cannot be sold or transferred until the balance is cleared in full."

He offered to pay a monthly settlement.

They said no. The full $114,000 is due in 60 days, or they foreclose on the property at a public auction.

A lifetime of working-class savings, wiped out overnight by a retroactive healthcare lien.

You don't own generational wealth.

You're just holding a property title until the state finds a legal mechanism to repossess it the moment you die.

Early voting has begun in Texas.

I encourage you to vote early in person.

In 2022, Harris County, TX, ran out of paper ballots on Election Day.

This shop manager protecting her business is spared by the thugs out of Muslim solidarity.

Still absolutely no connection to immigration.

🚨🚨THE DEMOCRACY FILES, PART 1: THE PLAN 🚨

I am working on gathering all the documents.

Now, here's something to understand about the "democracy" and protest ecosystem: almost nobody knows the 'grand plan' so to speak. They simply agree to play a role.

For example, 99% of people breaking stuff on the streets believe they're doing it out of an organic uprising. They don't see that the police have been ordered to stand down. They don't see that legal services have already been arranged for them. They don't see that foundations are paying for their bonds.

Similarly here, governors aren't participating in a pact to destroy the Constitution. Governors simply have agreed to push back on the Insurrection Act. The effect is the same: the governors end up playing a role in a grander plan.

I call this "shared epistemology" in my book Unelected. Motivations differ, people rarely agree to the big evil supervillain framing, but incentives all converge in the same end goal.

No Kings might not agree to explicitly tear down the Constitution, but they nonetheless work with DSA and will turn out millions of people if the right phone call is put in.

Here is one articulation of the plan - and crucially, since then, they have put many NGOs in their places to execute their proper role at all levels when the time is right.

Many more coming.

No one wants to see shootings in the streets. When I was a federal prosecutor, under President Obama, violent criminals who were here illegally were handed over to federal officials at the jailhouse door, so that no one — neither the criminals nor the feds — went into our neighborhoods. 

Letitia James broke that system. And we are less safe because of it.

🇫🇷 BREAKING: Emmanuel Macron has blamed the riots in France on President Trump

In latest address on French TV, Macron claimed the rioters are protesting because of the high oil prices caused by Trump's war in Iran.

He refused to take responsibility for pushing mass migration.

[Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺 @PaulineHansonOz]

Australia cannot afford to repeat the mistake of mass migration which is tearing apart Europe.

Countries like France, Germany, Belgium and the U.K. are all suffering because of mass migration.

Unless Australia stops importing people who reject our democracy, our way of life and the values of Western civilisation, these riots will eventually be coming to Australian cities.

🚨🇫🇷 Jordan Bardella just looked a leftist MP dead in the eye and said it without flinching:

“It’s because of YOUR friends that thousands of shopkeepers are crying this morning.

Their windows are smashed, their businesses looted, their lives wrecked…

And you still have the nerve to show up and lecture me."

Brilliant and direct.

[Jesse Kelly @JesseKellyDC]

The tyranny of the Biden administration wasn’t some aberration. It was part of an escalation. You cannot find a single Democrat in the country who thinks what they did was wrong.

The only lesson they learned was they didn’t go far enough.

Don’t let them hold power again.

This absolutely exceeds any standard of incitement! Slotkin should be facing prosecution and expulsion from the Senate over this!! Hey @LeaderJohnThune !! When are you going to uphold any standards of conduct? If these Marxists destroy our Constitution it's on YOU!!

Christians are being massacred on a daily basis by Islamists in Africa.
Yet there is no left-wing outrage. No Black Lives Matter riots. No Hollywood celebrity speaking out. No protests in European capitals. No Nothing. Their outrage is fake and selective.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen.

I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn.

And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.

[Peter St Onge, Ph.D. @profstonge]

Trump's not perfect.
RINO's are far from perfect.
But Democrats would turn America into France.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

- In France they leave pallets of glass bottles to use in riots
- During the BLM riots they left pallets of bricks
- During the ICE protests throughout America they left stacks of bricks to throw at law enforcement

Same playbook, same people funding it. It’s a communist takeover
