El Sayed is taking a walk-back tour to apologize to Jews in MI. That will have the effect of walking back the few fractional percentage points by which he won the primary.Typical Democrat Party strategy: be sure every platform plank has its antithesis.Good plan.

I know I dont like the idea of an income tax on below average income but a property tax or value added tax or some sort of sales tax could wo

The Democratic Party's "Big Tent" is ripping. Three big rips, in fact, at least, and there are tributaries from the main rips as divergent as are the Party factions. One rip dates from the day the Party decided to put Biden out to pasture one month prior to the National Convention, in July of '24.

For an event that occurred 5.5 years ago on Jan 6, Democrats have been fixated ever since. It is really much older than 2021 because, without using that word, they began their campaign against DJT in 2014, upon his firing from NBC's "The Apprentice.""Insurrection" became the qualifier of all Democra

The 6-3 SCOTUS decision in Trump v. Barbara [2026], the case re: Trump's E.O. to end birthright citizenship misread the language of the 14th Amendment's clause 1, called the "citizenship clause." The 14A was ratified in 1868, after its introduction to the Senate by Senator Jacob Howard [R-IL] in 186

El Saed el said billionaires should not make money on their money. Really? Really. Granted, investment is a privilege, not a right. Got to have money to invest it. But no current law of the land prohibits anyone from investment. Do you think otherwise? Does Sharia law prevent it?Asking for a friend.

My example is that all im advocating for is a ten percent increase in existing taxes and a ten percent decrease in spending and a two percent wealth tax above 10 million in assets. Ai is saying thats enough to balance the budget, though just doing 1 percent instead of two is enough to get the defici

This is what he said:It's not a secret I disagree with the prime minister [Satanyahu]. I think targeted assasinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night, not just those who pose an inmediate threat. There are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn't live.

The quote is by Gustavo Gordillo, co-Chair of the NYC-DSA. It is a throwback to Barry Oba'a, who said in 2010, "I do think at a certain point you've made enough money." It is a communist anthem to limit personal profit, which would be signal that anyone ought to consider the sky as the only personal

Peggy Flanagan, current Lt. Gov of MN [and as whacko as her milktoast Governor], and wannabe DSA Governor, went through a litany of questions about her political platform. Asked if healthcare ought to be universally applied to all, she replied in the affirmative, using the example of gender fluidity

This is reaching back a bit, but the thought didn't occur to me until now. I was seeing a post about Trump's ear healing quickly being evidence that the shooting in Pennsylvania was fake. Now, for the shooting to be fake, the poster was totally willing to accept the following as reasonable:(a) Trump

As the Iran War has demonstrated, the Imperium Americae is being stretched too thin.Contrary to headlines making rounds right now I don't believe that, barring further depletion of our stockpiles at least, there's a major risk of Russia and China exploiting this gap. In the event that the Strait of

All through the Maine Primary for Senate, the Democratic Party pushed this waste of human flesh, Graham Platner, as the best thing going for Maine. I have naught to do with Maine. I've been there only once, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. But if Democrats cannot do better than this nitwit wit

My commentary the big issue in the usa is that society has lost the policy in politics. People would rather argue about the rat race or abstract political values. The problem of course is that real substance is in the policy details. Abstract value debates are too general to be helpful and people ju

I've noticed on here a Lotta people who voted for trump yet dont want to do much to do defend the guy. Which is understandable. What's less understandable is that they try claiming Biden and Harris were worse, not so much that trump is good. So, tell me, how were Biden and Harris worse than trump?I

There exists a minority: the productive people and firms who graze and create. In this tale, we will call this group the "sheep." The wolves in this story organize and vote.
