Imagine if we:
1) Went to a flat tax or sales tax; and
2) Went back to the gold standard.
Our standard of living would skyrocket. We'd blow China out of the water.
There's a major crisis at the border in TX as we speak, but only a few of my Twitter followers are covering it. Almost total media silence. We live in a bizarro world.
If we haven't been able to eliminate respiratory viruses like the cold and flu, why does anyone believe we can end the respiratory virus named Covid? One day politicians will understand people like honesty, even if the news is bad.
Bizarre that all these musicians, who correctly didn't trust the government when they told us to go to war, now blindly trust the government with anything they tell us about Covid.
When you have a situation where a guy tries to murder a Supreme Cour judge, and its not even covered by the media as that big a story, that tells you all you need to know about the state of our country.
I find it strange that the people who complain the most about climate change, don't support the 1 thing that will solve the problem, building nuclear power plants.
Canada is what happens when the far left take over.
New York is what happens when the far left take over.
Florida is what happens with the opposite.
So the question you have to ask yourself is: What's better for you and your family?
Every President that oversees a poor economy always trys to convince the American people that the economy is, in fact, strong.
This always fails miserably because the people do those strange, unusual things, like, ya know, shopping for food and putting gas in the tank.
There are very few things in life that scare me.
Canada is one of them.
Government turning on it's citizens, and the fear that could happen in the U.S., is deeply unsettling.
BREAKING: Ukraine's Interior Minister announces that 10,000 automatic rifles have been handed out to the civilians of Kyiv as they prepare to fight tooth and nail to defend their homes against Putin's invasion. RT IF YOU STAND WITH THE BRAVE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE!
Biden needs to stay out of the Ukraine, as virtually every time we run off to war we regret it. I am extremely confident that he will make the wrong decision.
It would really be great if our current government would condemn Canada's government for their suspension of civil liberties and tyranny.
Should be any minute now..waiting patiently...don't let me stop you...I'm sure it's coming...
I have no idea why Biden hasn't come out in support of the protestors and in strong opposition to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
These women are truly oppressed, unlike the fake oppression you see so often here.
If Elon Musk does indeed buy Twitter, it will literally change America.
There will be far less censorship, and more conservative voices will be heard. They also won't get kicked off for "misinformation" that is actually true.
This will lead to more conservatives being elected.
I'm not even sure the government should fund public schools. We're producing hordes of kids in their 20s who think socialism is a good thing, so how can you argue the school system has been anything but a failure?
The biggest scam is medicine is when dentists do x-rays on your teeth every year. Big money maker for them. I almost always decline.
I'm not going to have an x-ray on my knee today because my knee feels fine. Unnecessary. Same idea.
Republicans need to quit taking a victory lap over winning on masks.
Ya'll locked down too. Ya'll had mask mandates also.
Yes, you stopped that crap before the Dems, but being slightly smarter than idiots doesn't make you smart. It just makes you a partial idiot.
Locking kids out of school AGAIN is just plain cruel. The evidence is overwhelming that Covid is not dangerous for kids 0-22 or their teachers. Covid is not destroying this country, but our response to it is.
In the 1800's America went from a small, nothing country to the most powerful nation in the world. No federal income tax. No state tax. No Medicare tax. No social security tax. You do the math.
Love how I'm seeing on Twitter leftists proudly proclaiming that they will continue to wear masks on airplanes.
Such brave souls. Zelensky's got nothing on you guys.
Gavin Newsome suddenly reversing course and saying Biden's immigration policies and plans are not working, that California can't afford them.
Always interesting to see when ideology runs up against the laws of economics.
Guess which one always wins?
The problem is not a move to alternative energy, which is inevitable.
The problem is when it is rammed down our throat immediately, without a gradual implementation.
This leads to energy scarcity and massively higher prices.
When future historians talk about why the US turned into just any other country, one of the major reasons will be that the media stopped trying to be impartial.
Increasing government spending (in this case over 400 billion) will reduce inflation? Is that a joke?
This is why politicians have no credibility, when even the dumbest Americans know that what they're saying can't possibly be true.
Interesting that Novak Djokovic is not a hero to conservatives. He probably would be if he were American.
Here's a guy that is refusing to get vaccinated, knowing that it may cost him the chance to be the greatest tennis player of all time.
Principled man.
So Sweden has clearly shown that the best policy is to stay open, lock nothing down, don't worry about masks or social distancing, and to go about your business like normal. Now that the evidence is in, why doesn't every country do the same? What am I missing?
I'm over 50 and weigh a buck 35.
You think I have confidence that when a 22 year old 200 pound guy breaks in my house I can protect my family by beating the crap out of him?
A gun is the great equalizer.
UN is Hamas.
UN is corrupt.
UN is antisemitic.
UN is worthless.
The United States should withdraw and just have the whole pathetic enterprise fall apart.
Why is Matthew McConaughey's opinion on guns front page news on Fox?
He was born in Uvalde, so he's an expert in solving gun crimes like the one in Uvalde?
That makes sense to absolutely nobody.
One of my kid's friends showed up at our house today wearing 2 masks, including an N-95. He's 11. I wanted to shake some sense into the parents but I don't want to be convicted of assault.
First they come for the far right conservatives.
Next they come for the mainstream conservatives.
Then they come for the libertarians.
Finally they come for anyone who does not follow the far left company line.
This is not 2021. It is 1984.
You notice the people that say "Death to America" always also say "Death to Israel".
The two places in the world that symbolize freedom and democracy are hated by the people who hate these things.
If schools like Harvard would be mainly Asian if there was no affirmative action, than so be it. School admissions should have nothing to do with skin color, and everything to do with HS grades, test scores, and extra-curricular activities.
Plenty of good schools to go around.
There have always been homosexuals, in every culture.
Has there always been people wanting to be the opposite sex? Is there evidence of this in history?
I honestly don't know the answer.
When the government finds a way to control speech, it's all over. It's irrelevant whether they do it through direct laws or manipulating big tech that regulates speech. The end result is always the same; a free country falls.
From just a pure entertainment perspective, why would anyone want to see a drag show? What is the appeal of watching one sex dress up like the other?
Maybe I'm just old. I don't get it.
I’ve been researching the record of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, reading her opinions, articles, interviews & speeches. I’ve noticed an alarming pattern when it comes to Judge Jackson’s treatment of sex offenders, especially those preying on children
Seems like yesterday that Cuomo was talked about as the front runner for rhe Democratic nomination next election. And the media praised his Covid response as what real leadership looks like. Amazing.
The average American has no idea what it means when someone says they are Libertarian.
If every American voter spent 3 minutes watching a video explaining basic Libertarian beliefs, I bet at least half would identify more with Libertarianism than their own political party.
If the leader of a nation started talking about food shortages, there would be widespread panic.
Not in America.
Americans have gotten complacent and somewhat soft. I that's about to change.
Restricting hospital visitation has had a destructive impact on those receiving care and their families.
In Florida, we will continue to put patients and their families first.
Speaking for those of us who chose not to get our kids vaccinated, and have been proven 100%, undeniably correct:
We were never anti-vax; we were always pro evidence.
Criticism of Israel is almost always driven by anti-semitism. You know how I know this? Because the people attacking Israel never criticize any other foreign country.
Iran? Syria? North Korea? China? Dead silence. Check their social media posts. All Israel, all the time.
If you have overwhelming military superiority, how can you not execute a simple withdrawal of your citizens? Incomprehensible. I'm pretty sure my 8 year old would have figured it out.
The dirty little secret is the Republicans and the rich don't want to stop illegal immigrants from coming into the country.
The reason is they are the ones who own businesses and houses, which employ illegals for work and maintenance of houses. Everyone understands that the
Funny how all the conservative pundits are now taking the original Libertarian position that Covid lockdowns were unnecessary and did major damage. Revisionist history.
If I were advising Biden on how to win an election, telling the American people that high inflation is a good thing that will start a utopian green revolution would not be my first bit of advise.
Do you know what's annoying? The new trend of businesses wanting you to confirm multiple times for appointments. I now get a text, an e-mail, sometimes a phone call, etc.
Yes, I'm coming already!!
I don't think the people choosing not to get the vaccine, especially for their children, are necessarily "anti-vax". I think they'd just prefer to see how it plays out in the next few years, such as when the vaccinated have children, go through puberty, etc. The drugs are new.
Is there anyone in the world that's calling for a ceasefire also calling for Hamas to surrender and release the hostages? Anyone?
The latter would immediately cause the former.
Let me say this now, before his death:
I have never disliked more or respected less a political figure than Jimmy Carter.
This is based on his utter incompetence, weakness, and rabid antisemitism.
Trump lost, but it's understandable why his supporters even now don't believe it. They can't believe that Americans would be dumb enough to elect someone who can't read a teleprompter.
After years of subscribing, I finally had to dump Time magazine and USA Today.
Tired of all the news being reported with a leftist slant.
Once great media institutions in this country have gone in the toilet.
Here's some free legal advise; even if you have to beg, borrow, cheat and steal to get your kid in a private school that aligns with your values, do it.
Turns out Harvard was blatantly discriminating against one group (Asians) to help another (Blacks).
Harvard was lowering Asians' "personal score", which measures character traits.
The Supreme Ct. is about to abolish affirmative action. Good. All discrimination is evil.
I'm a back the blue kind of guy, but these stories coming out of the police refusing to take on the shooter are making my blood boil.
Guns don't work if you're too scared to use them.
So if you're clearly in a recession, just change the definition of the word and arrogantly proclaim that we're not in a recession.
Society is getting a little too 1984ish for me.
Women's tennis players make more than WNBA players, because:
1) People like watching women play professional tennis;
2) People don't like watching women play professional basketball.
Our high schools should teach basic economics instead of higher level math classes like
The WNBA salary discourse is the dumbest thing I've seen on this website so far this year. The league has been in existence for 30 years and has never once turned a profit. None of the idiots complaining about the salaries actually consume the product. The league is a charity
I don't think Elon Musk is antisemitic.
I also think he's done a lot of good; for the economy, free speech, environment, and just overall common sense takes on where the evil in this world is.
I, an orthodox Jew, like the guy.
All jobs are essential, otherwise they wouldn't exist. The idea that the government plays favorites (and as a lawyer I was deemed essential) is insane.
My cell phone is about 2 years old. I go on it for a few minutes in the morning, and by the time I'm done I've lost about 20% of the charge.
Why would I buy an electric car knowing the same thing will happen?
Don't believe the hype about vegetarianism being good for you. Most vegetarians I've seen are either heavy from eating too many carbs, or they look emaciated from not getting in enough protein. If my 85 year old mother can knock you out, you're not in good shape.
There are riots and coups going on all over the world, and the only reason I know this is through Twitter.
Why the hell do we even have a media if they're not going to report things? The mainstream media is turning into a gutter profession.
The Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union not so long ago. We were not willing then to go to war against Russia to "free" the Ukranians. Nor should we now. Not worth having young American men die for.
Novak Djokovic, the best tennis player of all time, not being allowed to come to America to play because he refuses to get vaccinated. Our government is an absolute joke.
Teaneck, New Jersey — Extremely high tensions as police hold back a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters who want to storm the Congregation Bnai Yeshurun synagogue.
Many pro-Israel supporters came out as well.
