The mega-talented @tsidpod at @DissidentMedia just put together a podcast intro for me that surpassed my WILDEST expectations. Totally blown away. This man could make a gym sock look awesome. He is by far one of the most overlooked visionaries in the libertarian world.

Happy New Year everyone! May this be a year of peace, prosperity, liberty, and transparency. And for the sake of all of these principles, let all the evils and atrocities of the deep state and war regime be exposed to all.

People are over here talking about a tax strike and I'm just like wait you kept paying your taxes after they created a bioweapon, locked you in your home, destroyed the currency and forced you to take myocarditis injections? Hey, cool. If the Somali fraud was the last straw LFG!

This is such boomer slop. The GOP controls every branch and they've only delivered on multiple unconstitutional wars and jailed no one. But hey...at least Israel got everything they wanted while our country was going down in flames.
Once we restore honest elections in America—Every. Other. Problem. Is. Solved.

You can't afford a home but Israel gets $8.6 billion of American taxpayer dollars for a new fleet of F-15s
You can't afford another kid because childcare is so expensive—but Somali fraudsters got millions of your taxpayer dollars for child care centers that don’t exist. You can’t afford a home—but 100 Somalis spent millions of your taxpayer dollars on luxury properties. You’re

What are we paying taxes for?

Watched it the moment it came out, and it’s fantastic.
Watch "Cover-Up" -- new Netflix doc about the journalist Seymour Hersh, from Laura Poitras. It not only shows how vital investigative journalism is when done right (e.g. not subservient to the US Security State), but how US wars *inevitably* entail savagery and government lies.

On January 30th, funding for the fraudulent daycare programs in MN expires. It’s an $8 billion nationwide program without guardrails to prevent theft. I challenge my colleagues to eliminate the fraud, but I suspect @SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune will fund it without a fix.

Gotta love that market place of ideas!
Ben Shapiro is losing an average of 1,000 subscribers on YouTube daily, having lost 30,000 subscribers in the past thirty days. Republicans are increasingly alienated by Shapiro’s unwaveringly pro-Israel rhetoric and penchant for equating skepticism of Israel with antisemitism.

To understand how unprecedented this bombing campaign is in Somalia, check out this handy chart from New America. They do a good job of tracking the air war. Trump has bombed Somalia this year more than Bush, Obama, and Biden combined.
Trump didn't just bomb Nigeria on Christmas, he also bombed Somalia. But of course there was no media coverage. AFRICOM hasn't answered me in a while but by my count, we are up to at least 127 US airstrikes in Somalia this year, more than double the previous annual record of 63.

It would be super fking awesome if the people who are rightfully outraged about the Somali scams in Minnesota would also get equally outraged about America bombing Somali 127 times this year. Like… wtaf? What are we even doing anymore?

Both major parties swear they’ll save America, yet both shovel socialism into every bill they pass. It’s not left vs. right, it’s the political class vs. the rest of us. Liberty won’t survive as long as voters keep rewarding the same centralized-control addiction.
