Isn’t it weird how unsubsidized consumer goods like TVs, appliances, clothes, all get cheaper and cheaper…while anything government puts its hands on, healthcare, housing, food, tuition, cars, utilities…just gets more and more unaffordable? Oh well. Probably nothing.

Between January 2020 and 2025, foreign-born workers captured 88% of total employment growth in the United States according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Who else finds this obscene?

If a Republican House & a Republican Senate can’t pass legislation that 84% of Americans want, then what are we doing?

If you take $70,000 from the paycheck of a hard worker and give $10,000 to 7 lazy people, you lose one vote but gain 7. That’s how the west works now.

Workforce shortages are fake, its just a way to avoid paying pay Americans a reasonable wage. They did this with Truckers and Electrical Engineers, Americans wanted $150-200k to do Electrical Engineering. They cried shortage and brought in a H1B for $75-90k. American Truckers wanted $90-110k, again they cried shortage and brought in migrant workers for $50-80k.
Removing TPS status for Haitians living in the United States would cost 350,000 workers their ability to work at a time when we’re already facing serious workforce shortages. I’ve heard from healthcare providers and business leaders across Nebraska, including @OmahaChamber, who are concerned about the impact this would have on patient care and our economy. I don’t see the goodness of deporting people who are here legally, working, and contributing to our country.

California Democrats said there isn’t any money to fund wild brush clearing and firefighting but is spending a quarter of a billion dollars to try giving themselves more power. Vote NO on Prop 50, and get those ballots in, make sure your friends and family do, too. Vote now!

Gavin Newsom is going to look into the missing $100 million from FireAid, right after he finds the $100 billion from the High Speed Rail, the $37 billion from homelessness, the $40 billion for affordable housing, the $5 billion for water storage, and the $500 million to stop the flow of raw sewage from Mexico
FireAid: Together, we raised an estimated $100 million that have been designated for direct relief and will not be used for administrative purposes. Also FireAid: FireAid was a newly formed 501(c)(3) organization, it was never the plan to distribute funds directly to wildfire victims

Last year, Jeffrey Sachs delivered a most important history lesson at the European Union. This is why Ukraine is at war. Ask yourself, who actually is the aggressor in this conflict?

What the CEO killing should make people realize is there are a segment of people in our society that will absolutely celebrate the death of you and your family if you happen to be part of the wrong class, have the wrong job, or belong to the wrong identity group. These people are focused in academia, the media, and a few other industries dominated by the far-left. There is a dehumanization element to it. A health insurance executive didn’t commit a crime that would justify seeing them as evil, but that’s how they view him because they don’t like the current system. And among the far-left, being part of the system they hate justifies anything you do to him. But it doesn’t end with health insurance CEOs. That logic will expand to millions of other Americans. A politician opposes green new deal legislation? Evil. A landlord evicts someone for not paying rent? Evil. A man steps in and defends others under attack from an actual criminal on a subway? Evil. You’re a cop? Evil. You’re an Israeli? Evil You served in the military? Evil. There is no limiting principle here. If you’re part of a system they don’t agree with, they will justify violence against you. That’s what the weekly pro-terror marches in NYC are really about. And people better start to recognize it because the mainstreaming of that view is absolutely a threat to a future America that protects individual rights and economic freedom.

It’s now been 13 hours since a Biden official told a mainstream journalist that the president is no longer in charge of the country, and approximately zero (0) other journalists are interested in the story
Replying to @AlexThomp
A counterpoint from a current Biden admin official: "For better or worse, no one is listening to him anymore and his words have little power and less reach. It’s a blip. Gone in any meaningful way by mid-day tomorrow if it makes it that long."

A board of Newsom appointees is planning to raise gas prices by 65 cents three days after the election, and they're refusing to even talk about it. This is obscene.
Ahead of its key vote that could raise gas prices in California, the CA Air Resources Board is resisting calls to be more transparent. I asked the board for an interview repeatedly over the last week. The board thinks written statements/emails are enough. kcra.com/article/california-…

I'm sure a lot has been speculated about what's going on in Western North Caolina. I'm a resident. One who has just now got enough of a signal to access the internet for more than a minute or two at a time. I'll explain.

Hunter Biden’s Tax Trial begins today in Los Angeles. The DOJ has already proven that Hunter acted as a foreign agent. They’ve also stated they won’t charge him for it. truthovernews.org/p/doj-admi…
Amazing to watch the DOJ prove that Hunter was an unregistered foreign agent while simultaneously stating they won't charge him for it: "The introduction of that evidence, however, does not mean that the government will also reference allegations that the defendant violated FARA and that contacts with government officials were improper; such allegations are not relevant to the charges in this tax case"

The numbers are in and, no surprise, the $20 California fast food minimum wage has shortened hours, reduced jobs, and replaced humans with machines. As I point out in this clip, the people being hurt are all the people who relied on these entry level jobs.

To cut thru the BS & understand why this is the case, look at Michael Chertoff. He was both the chairman of Freedom House & the chairman of BAE Systems, the British military giant & largest military contractor in NATO. And yes, these things are related.
There's this NGO called @freedomhouse, bankrolled by the U.S. State Department, which ranks the "freedom" of countries around the world. Britain currently has a perfect "freedom" score. Hungary, which last I checked has never mass-arrested people for tweeting, does not.

🧵So, let's break down this email thread between @GavinNewsom's chief of staff and #FixProp47's Greg Totten. It starts on Friday 6/14 with Totten outlining the problems with Newsom's "compromise" designed to get the group to withdraw the ballot initiative
