For decades, Democrats defended the Senate filibuster.

Now they have completely flipped!

@JordanSchachtel @JDVance Do you see it's controversial to promote central govt design& planning to deny & replace millions of individual's empowerment to choose to cooperate in a market economy based on voluntary exchange with central govt disempowering individual choice in the name of "common good"?

[zach baylor @zach_baylor]

@honestpollster This was also considered a gift:

[zach baylor @zach_baylor]

@CynicalPublius I respect you.However, it will be hard to support Vance who talks favorably of: expanding central govt powers of design& planning collectivism “common good” over the virtue of freedom of individual choice of voluntary exchange.Surrender of currency reserve status is concerning.

Ro, I like you. You know that. But you need to read the state of the state.

The number of Deca Unicorns in Cali is growing by the day as investors chase amazing startups.

A unique feature of these 10b startups is that even if they raise a billion, little, if any of that money goes to the founders, who are now worth billions of dollars over night. They are the definition of cash poor, stock rich

How are you going to tax them ? Make them borrow money against their shares, if they can? They just raised money to grow their company and a bank will come along and loan them money ? A company that has been in business maybe less than a year ? lol

Will you take their stock if they can’t ?

Do you really think each of multiple founders, who started an amazing company in Cali and is now a billionaire, can each just pull out $250m per billion of net worth from their raise ? You know they can’t.

If this passes , and it doesn’t directly impact me at all, I won’t be a cali resident, but you can bet if I’m investing in a multi billion dollar startup, I’m asking them to move from California first.

IMO, if this passes, only idiot startup founders stay in Cali.

I’ve done it before and will do it again. Dallas. Pittsburgh. Indiana. I will make NOT being in California a pre requisite for an investment

Ideology is not a strategy Ro.

@VP @JimDeMint As much as you distort& demean the truth of the vital role of individual freedom to engage in market voluntary exchange guided by price signals of millions of decent Americans independent of central govt paternalism you can’t erase truth of history.Stop pandering

A Nobel Prize-winning economist was by himself on a dark stage and said to the audience that most of the things they believe about the Great Depression are incorrect. Very few people watch it.

Milton Friedman discusses five myths: those concerning the robber barons, the Depression, the public's demand for government, the idea of a free lunch, and who in fact ends up receiving the transferred wealth.

He states that the industrialists in the 19th century became wealthy through production rather than through appropriation, and that no other period achieved a faster improvement in the standard of living for the average person.

When looking at the transition from the Depression to the free lunch, note that every way a government adopts to generate money eventually comes back to the same person, and he refers to that person.

The stage is empty except for a lectern and a microphone, and he is not holding any notes.

People repeat the myths and he recorded the arithmetic.

Hayek and Keynes met in person, debated in print, and disagreed on nearly everything that matters in economics, and the consequences of that disagreement are still bleeding out of your tax bill today.

The clash crystallized in 1931. Hayek arrived at the London School of Economics from Vienna, the University of London had just given him a visiting position, and his four-part review of Keynes's Treatise on Money appeared in Economica. Keynes fired back. Both men were brilliant, both were prolific, and both understood that they were fighting over something fundamental: whether market prices carry real information, or whether a wise technocrat with a budget deficit can simply override them. Hayek said prices are signals produced by millions of individual decisions that no single mind can replicate. Keynes said the economy is a machine and the state can tune the throttle. One of these positions respects human knowledge. The other assumes the government knows your business better than you do.

The irony Keynes fans never want to confront: Keynes himself, by 1946, was alarmed at where Keynesian policy was heading. He told Henry Clay at the Bank of England that he hoped markets would reassert themselves before his own ideas "did too much damage." He died that April. His followers immediately ignored the warning and spent the next three decades engineering the stagflation of the 1970s, the Nixon wage-price controls of 1971, and the general wreckage that Hayek had predicted with embarrassing precision in 1931.

Hayek won the Nobel in 1974. The prize committee gave it to him alongside Gunnar Myrdal, a committed social democrat, because they lacked the nerve to award a free market thinker alone. Even in Stockholm, the state needs a security blanket.

The deeper issue is moral, not just technical. Every time a government "stimulates" the economy, it does so by extracting resources from producers through taxation or debasing the currency through credit expansion. The state is not a benevolent engineer: it is an institution that compels compliance at gunpoint, then calls the wealth they exctacted "revenue." The pretense of knowledge is not merely an intellectual error, but the philosophical license for coercion. Every stimulus package passed since 2008 proves the lesson is still being refused.

I’m a constitutional conservative. I voted for Trump three times. I don’t believe in forever wars, I want secure elections, less federal spending, lower taxes, free markets, strong borders, and a government that actually stays inside its constitutional lane.

What I do not want is this postliberal idea that Washington should decide what the “common good” is and then use impose it on everyone else.

I can oppose endless military interventions without wanting America weak or isolated. I want overwhelming deterrence, strong alliances where they serve American interests, and the ability to defeat threats without occupying half the planet for twenty years. I also don’t want Iran to have a nuclear weapon but I want deterrence and containment that actually works, not senseless entanglement or another open-ended war in the Middle East.

I can want Washington to stop running trillion-dollar deficits without pretending the solution is to surrender one of the greatest economic advantages this country possesses: the dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency. If politicians are abusing that privilege by overspending, the answer is stop the spending, not destroy the privilege.

I want the rest of the world choosing American markets, American assets, American businesses, and American dollars because we remain the safest, freest, most productive economy on earth.

Strong nation. Limited government. Secure borders. Secure elections. Fiscal discipline. Free markets. Constitutional rights. Military strength without permanent war. American economic dominance without central planning.

You do not fix the failures of big government by creating a different version of big government and calling it the “common good.”

And I have absolutely zero interest in abandoning constitutional conservatism for postliberal slop just because some people on the right decided freedom, markets, divided power, and limited government aren’t a magic wand that can undo decades of problematic spending and policy.

@tedcruz What’s going on with the Senate race in Texas? You need to have a talk with Paxton.

[zach baylor @zach_baylor]

@JimDeMint It’s deranged to diminish virtue of a market economy,voluntary exchange,individual property rights in favor of expanding central government power design& planning. Trying to appease& ingratiate oneself with socialists is deranged. Surrender of currency reserve status is deranged.

@benshapiro @AGHamilton29 In addition to @VP, who thus far has declined, have you invited @realDonaldTrump & @marcorubio to your show?

[zach baylor @zach_baylor]

@VP What are the reasons you won’t accept Ben Shapiro’s invitation?

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Ben Shapiro says he's invited JD Vance on his show “many times,” but can never get him on.

He thinks he knows exactly why that is.

PBD: "Have you ever sat down with him at Daily Wire?"

SHAPIRO: "The last time I talked with the vice president was at Charlie's memorial. We've invited many times. He's been on with a bunch of our other hosts. I don't know if it's reticence, or if it's just failure of scheduling, but we've invited him on many times."

PBD: "So you would like to have him on?"

SHAPIRO: "Of course!"

PBD: "And he's not done it yet?"

Shapiro: "No."

PBD: "Why do you think?"

Shapiro: “I mean, perhaps he suspects that I might ask him a tough question or two about his friend.”

PBD: "Interesting. Interesting."

Despite growing pressure to disavow Tucker Carlson, JD Vance refuses to break with him. He says, “I am not going to get into the business of throwing friends under the bus.”

[zach baylor @zach_baylor]

@TuckerCarlson Your discovery and breaking news on the “creation” of Ben Shapiro is fabulous. Your commentary is fascinating.

@JanZizka88 @ArchRose90 I don’t accept your premise the threat was cartoonish or the use of “s lessens the vicious conveyance of hatred. Your choice to interpret his voluntary actions as just that within the norms of civil society of someone who had engaged in one too many libations.

[zach baylor @zach_baylor]

@JanZizka88 @ArchRose90 I don’t know if 1st claim is veracious or not. In the video the person, or persons he threatened with a bullet in the head refers to a Hitler statement by him. I don’t hear him deny it,& do hear him make the bullet threat. Do you advocate bullets to the head based on the video?

[zach baylor @zach_baylor]

@JanZizka88 @ArchRose90 He didn’t threaten to put bullets in their heads?

[zach baylor @zach_baylor]

@HenMazzig The analogy of betrayal especially by ambitious,zealous Kapos in the concentration & death camps is valid.

[zach baylor @zach_baylor]

@JanZizka88 @ArchRose90 Therefore, it’s a shame Hitler didn’t finish the job, & they derive bullets to their heads?
