I personally would like American generals to read less about “white rage” (whatever that is) and more about “not losing wars.”

What I find so enraging about the Joint Chiefs’s pandering on progressive wokeness is that they know damn well the geography and politics of who dies in American wars. The conservative Americans you trash are disproportionately bleeding for this country.

I’m glad you got your viral clip, General. Maybe you should try defending the enlisted folks, their families, and their values.

We have a massive spike in violent crime because police officers are afraid to do their jobs. Any "crime prevention" effort that focuses on job training or gun seizures is a giant distraction.

The dumbest argument you hear is that the spike in crime is because of guns. Oh really? Was there an explosion of firearm ownership over the last two years, or did maybe something else happen?

The other garbage talking point is that "defund the police" hasn't led to substantial funding restrictions. See below for dishonest framing from ABC. But the point is that cops are terrified to do their jobs, which makes our cities unsafe.

"Universal child care" is a massive subsidy to the lifestyle preferences of the affluent over the preferences of the middle and working class.

It turns out that normal Americans care more about their families than their jobs, and want a family policy that doesn't shunt their kids into crap daycare so they can enjoy more "freedom" in the paid labor force.

Alright, here’s a story about how the media often shapes narratives instead of reporting the truth, and how a small untruth can morph into a lie that’s repeated again and again throughout the media bubble. But first, let me tell you about Appharvest:

Appharvest is an agricultural technology company in Kentucky. I got involved four years ago, and have been a supporter and investor of the company ever since. I’ve seen it morph from an idea into a publicly traded company with the potential to transform our food system.

I love this company, the people involved, and the founder, who has become a dear friend. But my ability to be useful now that it’s a public company is limited, I’m thinking about a political run, and whatever I do politically, I hate the insane reigning political orthodoxy...
