Not really a fortune. But really good advice for a lot of people on this site.

We need to amend the Constitution to remove or sharply curtail the president’s pardon power. The best time to have done it would be a quarter century ago. The second best time would be now. But it almost certainly won’t happen under Trump. So when I say this again under the next

Save this tweet for when Trump pardons his sons, himself, the leadership of the DOJ and the Pentagon. And for the record I wrote that Biden’s pardons deserved impeachment. Arguing that Biden’s pardons were awful does not grant you license to defend Trump’s. Jeremy, you’re making
This person, as talented as they are, has lost their damned mind. Trump is abusing Pardons, and doing so worse than the guy whose family is so corrupt, that he PARDONED HIS OWN FAMILY?? These people are as crazy as the Leftists, and this explains how we got here. So-called

If most Americans can't afford the price of a "participation ticket" in the modern economy, how the hell do middle-class Americans have big houses, plenty of food, health insurance, and 2 or more cars? How are they all participating? It doesn't add up. It's a preposterous claim.
My friend Mike Green made a simple data error that made his "poverty line" come out as $140,000 instead of $80,000. Oops! https://t.co/QqPbnwHGMS

“He’s for you.” — tagline for Trump’s most effective ad.
SCOOP: David Gentile reported to prison on Nov. 14 to begin a 7-year sentence for what prosecutors described as a $1.6B scheme that defrauded thousands of victims. Trump commuted Gentile's sentence 12 days later, freeing him from prison.

When the Constitution was ratified there were, at most, 3 or 4 *federal* criminal laws — treason, piracy, counterfeiting and — I would argue — copyright infringement. Everything else was state law. I’m fine with the president having the ability to pardon those crimes. The

There are genuine concerns about affordability in the U.S., but the viral piece redefining poverty at $140,000 is based on bad assumptions and selective evidence, writes Tyler Cowen for The Free Press.

What he actually shared. His “apology” that he merely meant to show his support for Palestine but inadvertently spread antisemitic propaganda — is quite revealing. https://t.co/8U7pcqU8PZ
Guy Pearce issued an apology on Thursday for sharing "misinformation and falsehoods" about Israel on social media: "It has been brought to my attention that, in my support of Palestine, I have inadvertently re-posted articles, and/or statements, that have contained

This is such an unbelievably pathetic, desperate, and just lame effort to form a popular front against the Jooz. I mean the come on.
CAIR claims that revoking deportation protections for Somali fraudsters, who funneled U.S. taxpayer money to foreign terrorists, is an “Israel first” policy. Do you understand yet how the anti-Israel rhetoric is a massive psyop to push Islamism?

In no order it A) Cites the popularity of his nonsense as proof it’s right (we know that populism is popular, it’s in the name, it’s just often a lie — DJT Jr. has 15.5 mm followers, does that make him right about all things?)

Your brain is wired to focus on what’s wrong, not what’s right. For most of human history, noticing danger mattered more than noticing opportunity. Missing a good meal was inconvenient. Missing a threat could end your life. That ancient wiring is still with us today, which is

So a Venezuelan President allegedly involved in drug trafficking is bad, but a Honduran President who helped traffick enough cocaine to give a 100% pure gram to every man, woman, and child in America gets a full pardon? Ain’t that some indefensible bullshit!
I very much appreciate and respect the determination by President Trump to deal with the drug caliphate countries that inhabit our backyard — chief among them Venezuela. For over a decade, Maduro has controlled a narcoterrorist state that is poisoning America and he has created

I agree. But this presumes Congress has the slightest self-respect.
Completely closing the airspace above & surrounding Venezuela is a blockade - a belligerent act, traditionally either preparatory to war or constituting a casus belli for the blockaded nation. The Administration has an obligation to justify such a step not only to the American
