US oil companies have made nearly $50 billion in additional profits since the Iran war started, benefiting more than any country in the world. I’m surprised how few people know this. The US is now the biggest oil and gas exporter in the world. (Graphic via @nytimes).
So Democrats tried to unconstitutionally rig our democracy in Virginia and the state Supreme Court there struck it down. Boy, it sure seems like the party that is trying to “protect our democracy” keeps doing an awful lot of shady shit.
4 days left for the DOJ to indict Anthony Fauci. He lied to Congress about NIH funding dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan and engaged in the worst cover-up in modern medical history. The American people want Fauci behind bars.
Boy, having more airlines might be a good idea, Senator. I wonder if two smaller airlines merging might create more heft, allowing them to better compete with the big four. (We are often governed by morons who have never created a single job or created a single dollar of profit).
🚨 STEPHEN A. KEEPS IT REAL: He says the fight around President Trump isn’t just politics: it’s about everything that was thrown at him before he even took office.
His point: this DID NOT start yesterday.
President Trump has been a target and has stood tall. THAT'S leadership.
Every member in the U.S. Senate agrees we cannot allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.
I’m baffled why so many are unwilling to support the only action to achieve that.
Empty sloganeering vs. commitment to global security — which is it?
Right now, John Fetterman is the single most independent thinking Senator in either party. And only wants the best for America & Pennsylvania. God Bless Him.
I don’t know who advises Democrats not to stand for widows and moms of murder victims when they are recognized in the galleries, but those people should be fired. Heartless on an epic level.
“We just found one... a 14-year-old girl. Living with two adult males. We found her, she’s pregnant. From trafficking being forced into prostitution. 14 years old. We are taking care of her. Both physically and mentally.”
Democrats ran one of the largest child trafficking operations in history.
THIS IS WHY I STAND WITH ICE
BREAKING: Democrat Sen. John Fetterman announces he would fully support a STANDALONE voter ID bill
Q: “A clean bill just showing ID to vote, you'd support that?”
FETTERMAN: "Yeah. I'm a Democrat that's not going to freak out."
Not familiar with Bad Bunny so don’t know if his music is good or bad. I’m just going to watch what I know Lee Brice, Kid Rock All-American Halftime Show.
83% of Americans favor requiring voter IDs to vote. So why won’t Democrats supporting it? Because they’re cheating and believe it will cost them votes. That’s the ONLY reason that makes sense.
Property tax is just a tax on unrealized gains and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
You buy a house for $300k. Years later, market goes up, assessor says it's worth $600k now. Boom—your tax bill jumps, even though you haven't sold a damn thing, pulled equity, or seen a dime of cash from that "gain." You're paying every year on paper wealth that only exists on Zillow or some county spreadsheet.
We lose our minds when politicians float taxing unrealized stock gains for billionaires ("muh forced sales!"), but grandma gets hit with the same thing on her family home and we're supposed to call it "paying for schools and roads"? Nah.
It's a wealth tax dressed up as a service fee, and it only feels fair because we've normalized it for centuries. Once the mortgage is paid off, you should OWN it outright—no annual ransom to the county just because your neighborhood got trendy.
Abolish property taxes on primary residences. Tax consumption if you must, but stop pretending "ownership" means you rent from the government forever.
