don't look at the projections for medicare and social security. don't look at the deficits and credit. just cut taxes more. eat ice cream for dinner.

the only area where "both parties are the same" is unfortunately true is their consensus that no one making less than $400,000 a year should be taxed a dime more than they are now. this will, sooner than you think, starve us.

I hope you like the welfare state we have, because we're never going to be taxing people higher than we are now.

Democratic politicians are greatly underestimating the size of the bag the next president will be left holding.

The basis of liberalism must be reason, not passion, as Trudeau the Elder would put it. You can't actually have a functional democratic society if every statesman is competing to pander to the public in the dumbest ways. This lowest common denominator shit is utterly self defeating.

Amie Just's 6 favorite moments from the Nebraska girls state basketball tournament There were plenty of storylines from this past week's girls state basketball tournament. Here are some of Amie Just's favorites.

This is an insane stat from @amiejust.com about the 2026 Nebraska Girls State Basketball Tournament:

"For the first time in the girls tournament, all of the teams that advanced to the championship game were public schools."

Democrats are somehow moving towards β€œno one except the rich should pay any taxes,” and that’s how we break everything.

We can’t have the society we want that way. We can’t fund the programs we want, and the social fabric of society will fall apart.

The instinct is bad and we should reject it.

Opinion | The Danger of Being a Palestinian Citizen of Israel

β€œPalestinian citizens of Israel are everywhere and yet nowhere. They account for at least 25% of the country’s physicians, 49% of its pharmacists and 27% of its hospital nurses. They are bus drivers, teachers and professors. Yet they are invisible.”

How can a 119-loss team find its way? Here are 6 quick fixes The 2025 Rockies lost 119 games and were outscored by a Modern Era-record 424 runs. It was legitimately one of the weakest seasons in baseball history, and they're universally projected for another la...

The Rockies lost 119 games. They'll probably be in last place again.

But for the first time since 1999, they've hired from outside to run baseball ops. What can you look for right now to see some evidence of long-overdue modernization?

Some ideas:

Markets aren’t even open yet and we’ve got teams writing down record losses. We’re gonna have to hit the circuit breakers.

our collective antipathy toward taxes keeps us from building a more equitable, secure economy. sorry, we can't expand public health care or other services without broad taxes and, yes, tax increases on both the rich and working person.

outside of a few extreme cases at the far ends, the idea that what's wrong with America is that our federal income tax is not progressive enough is just wrong wrong wrong

I'm sure this polls well but jesus christ this is dumb

...
Michael Porter Jr. clarifies his Andrew Tate comment when he said sometimes he plays Andrew Tate around women to see their reaction. He added that he experienced a similar backlash as Andrew Tate when he refused to take the COVID-19 vaccine, saying they put allegations on you when you are speaking facts
"They put my dawg in jail with no proof he did any of that... They tried to say he trafficked them, but we don't know. We know that they will put allegations on the people that are speaking too much facts... But his underlying message, like now, when I watch any of his stuff, he just likes to speak pretty true. Now he has has a platform; he's not doing all that wild stuff... When I didn't get the vaccine, all of a sudden they started talking crazy about me. They tried to make me sound i'm slow or stupid because I didn't get the vaccine. Now you fast forward a couple years later, now everybody wishes they didn't get the vaccine... All this research coming out about why it was harmful for you all, a lot of scientists have come out and said there's no way clinically that they could be out a safe vaccine within 6 months. The vaccine was not safe to take, and it caused a lot of harm.
