“KNOCK KNOCk KNOCK”

It’s 5:00 AM and you are awaken by a loud knock on your door.

You grab your firearm and see what going on — government agents are there with a Red Flag order to seize your firearms.
But you’ve done nothing wrong.

You haven’t broken any laws — so how could this be?

And you think for a moment, “Why should I comply with this clearly unconstitutional demand?”
Still groggy and confused, you are shocked as they try to force their way into your home, so you resist and — you are shot dead in your own doorway.

Your name was Gary Willis.
You lived in Glen Burnie, Maryland.

This is a real story of Red Flag Gun Confiscation.

On Wednesday, I supported and proposed many policy amendments to improve LD 3. #mepolitics (1/9)
1. A sales tax holiday, fuel vouchers, and Maine heating accounts were all submitted as ideas to extend relief to Maine people. (2/9)
2. A sunset was proposed on a grant of executive power over sulfur policy, to allow for proper legislative review. (3/9)

@RepNancyMace McCarthy helped us lose ME-2 in 2020 by spending $500k against me in the GOP Primary — while yelling at Club for Growth for endorsing me.

McCarthy managed to get an establishment nominee through the primary, who then lost the general in a district Trump won handily.
@RepNancyMace McCarthy regularly interferes in GOP primary contests where he has no business — not usually to support anyone in particular, but to specifically oppose liberty candidates.
@RepNancyMace I’m sure you have your reasons for supporting McCarthy. I don’t hold it against anyone supporting him.

Also, @jackhunter74 thinks highly of you and I enjoyed meeting you at the Club when we were both running in 2020.

If the currency supply was stable and the economy was growing, each dollar you have would gradually increase in purchasing power.

You would be rewarded for saving and conserving — freeing resources in the economy for investment into future prosperity.
Instead, we live under a Keynesian delusion that your money's value must gradually expire through monetary debasement to prod people into consumption.

Why save when your money will be worth less tomorrow?
This lie allows central bankers to skim value off the top of the economy through currency debasement — redistributing it as the political class sees fit.

While price inflation remains around 3%, people have been conditioned to believe this is normal.

My opponent’s campaign has apparently decided to start running letters attacking me in the Sun Journal over the last few day.

So far, her campaign’s letters in the paper have managed to highlight:
(1) My successful legislative effort passing Constitutional Carry (which made Maine the Safest State in America)
(2) My push for work requirements on welfare benefits for able-bodied adults without kids (which is needed to give people a hand-up, not a hand-out)

Currency inflation has always been a direct attack on the savings of the middle class — pursued by corporate oligarchs and jealous socialists to redistribute middle class wealth into their pockets and causes.
Currency inflation is less honest than direct taxation, which can be seen, measured, and restrained through civic engagement.

It is a tax on the money you have already earned and paid taxes on, draining the value of your savings.

It is a hidden double tax.
The Federal Reserve’s currency inflation programs publicly aim to generate steady 3% price inflation.

Keynesian economists justify this policy under the premise that a little price inflation is good as it nudges people to use their paychecks for consumption, not saving.

Elon Musk is now, by far, the richest man in the world.

What many on the economic left get wrong, however (led by demagogues like @ewarren), is that this translates into him sitting on a stockpile of personal extravagances — like visions of Scrooge McDuck or Richie Rich.
Elon Musk’s wealth exists in high risk, high capital endeavors — including space travel, electric vehicles, cutting edge battery technology, human interface with artificial intelligence , and satellite-based internet delivery.
All of these are endeavors leftists would gladly have government fund, but for some reason when @elonmusk is risking his own capital to fund these projects — they object.

It’s as if green power is not the real goal — but instead government control of our economy.
