Having tattoos is related to lower intelligence and poorer mental health.

While this is true, the problem is that it sends people down the wrong path. The chances you're actually talented at something you love is very slim

Do what you're good at, get the money, use your free time to do what you love is what 99% of people should follow

Depression is just the repressed knowledge that you’re living beneath your potential and/or not in line with your inner conscience.

Anxiety is actually a form of entitlement.

“Mormons turned a swamp into a metropolis. Then they turned a desert into an empire. It’s the most American story.”

Their religious beliefs take them to Missouri. Neighbors learn they are anti-slavery and violently drive them out.

They go to Illinois and turn a swamp into a city that rivals Chicago. Only to have violent mobs run them out.

They walk toward Utah. Hoping to find a safe place to gather.

Jim Bridger mocks them. He bets $1,000 they can’t grow crops in Utah. They continue anyway.

The Utah soil is so hard it breaks their plows. So they engineer a way to water a desert.

Their crops grow. Salt Lake City sprawls. They expand. Latter-day Saints settle 500 towns across the West. A network of farms, commerce, and faith.

Their women become the first women to vote. They elect America’s first female state senator.

Their women organize themselves. With very little training, they create a system that lowers infant mortality to among the lowest rates in the country.

When the Depression hits, Latter-day Saints implement the most effective welfare program in the country. Decades later, Ronald Reagan studies it and calls it a model for the country. Its impact is seen today as Utah has the lowest usage of federal food assistance in the country.

The pursuit of knowledge and science becomes a hallmark. They start universities. They send their smartest men and women back east to learn the latest ideas and bring them back.

They are innovative. Technology that changes the world emerges from their culture. The television. The artificial heart. The weapons that won WWII. The beginnings of the internet.

The work ethic and cooperation that propelled them to develop the American West continues today. Their outsized influence on the world is famous.

They know religious persecution better than most. So they champion religious freedom for all, even those they disagree with.

Sociologists are obsessed with their outcomes. A Princeton researcher studied teens in America. She concluded that “Mormon teens are faring best.” Harvard data recently found that kids who grow up in Latter-day Saint homes are the most likely to say they feel loved by both parents. Other national studies consistently find them to be the happiest people in the country.

Gallup finds they are the most observant Christians in the country, a dedication to their faith that is unrivaled. Pew Research finds they know many Bible stories better than any other Christians.

A swamp became a metropolis. A desert became an empire. A persecuted people became the happiest in America. That’s the most American story ever told.

I was thinking about all the fraud exposed this year and it made me think about how little most people know about where their tax dollars go.

If we’re forced to pay taxes until we die then we should be given a yearly receipt showing EXACTLY how our last year of taxes were spent. Just like a grocery store receipt.

If this level of accountability existed, I guarantee we wouldn’t be funding transgenderism in third world countries or fake Somali daycares. These things only happen because it’s concealed so well for so long. The average person has no idea.

Support for cutting and/or ending many taxes would skyrocket overnight once people had a receipt showing them how their money was spent. It would be a singularly radicalizing event for each person as they finally come face to face with the truth of how they’ve been robbed their entire life.

If we need to account for every dollar and report it all, then they should have to account for every dollar they take from us and report back how they spent it all before they get any more.

The truth is a dangerous thing for crooked politicians. It’s the weapon they fear the most and so it’s the weapon people deserve the most to hold powerful interests accountable.

"Then the poor, deprived of their land, were no longer eager for military service and had few children, so that soon all Italy was bereft of freemen and filled with gangs of foreign slaves, through whom the rich cultivated their estates, having driven away the free citizens."

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Apparently, Republicans are not all that pressed about the estimated $9 b of Somali fraud; they want to pass another over $5 billion through.

Why would any Republican senator vote for more $ for a refugee program that the Somali’s ripped off $9B from?

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Federal law *is* the problem here; a federal statute—the NVRA—has been (wrongly) interpreted by the courts to prohibit states from seeking proof of citizenship

The SAVE Act would fix the problem

You can’t default to federalism when federal law is itself the problem

[Wilfred Reilly @wil_da_beast630]

The entire hysterical "The prisons are evil in El Salvador!!!" narrative is an attempt to discredit the obvious point that locking up obvious thugs stops crime, and the West has spent 75 years complicating this in every way possible.

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

A 33-year-old man was just brutally killed by a pit bull in Germany.

In a familiar display of contemporary madness in Germany, there's now a petition with more than 10,000 signatures calling for this dog to be returned to the man's family instead of being put down.

To be clear, I think we should only waive the filibuster to pass an election integrity act into law, but not for any other reason.

Election integrity must include visual ID that proves citizenship and in-person voting (except in extreme circumstances like troops overseas).

[Stephen Miller @StephenM]

Minnesota has refused to provide the federal government with the names, social security numbers or identifying information of food stamps recipients — they just send a monthly bill. More judicial tyranny.

Breaking into our country or over staying a visa is a crime. By definition, 100% of them are criminals!

It’s ridiculous to have some people fill out paperwork, follow our process, wait in line while allowing others to bypass all of that.

Follow the rules or get deported.

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

If you enter essentially *any* country unlawfully

Or overstay your visa

It will not end well

There are those who think the U.S. shouldn’t enforce its laws

They’re called “radical leftists”

Don’t buy what they’re selling

Or we’ll soon find ourselves without a country

Senator, can you thank the corporations for being less greedy now that egg prices are at an all time low?

Don Lemon says protesting is about making people “uncomfortable” and giving them a “traumatic” experience.

Very interesting.

A ringing endorsement of January 6th and the Charlottesville demonstrations.
