For the last 2 years, I've committed buying only things made in the USA unless absolutely impossible. I've made a lot of good discoveries I'll share in this thread which I will keep updated.

Join me in becoming an #economicpatriot.
Sandals/Flip-flops: Rainbow Sandals.

These are the best flip-flops I've had in a long time, so no compromise. They're handmade in California.

rainbowsandals.com
Sunglasses: Randolph Engineering.

I inherited an old pair from my grandfather and bought a new pair for myself. Their aviators were my Christmas gift for clients this year and I wear them every day. I got a set of their frames for my RX as well.

Men's Causal: Hertling.

Really well-made stuff. I got a great linen shirt, shorts, and some khakis from these folks. The craftmanship is head and shoulders above the Chinese sweatshops in Italy.

Men's Underwear: Hard Hat Apparel.

I had the bling brands (Boss, Hilfiger, etc.) and they fell apart easily despite the $$.

These cotton boxers are union-made here in the US and the quality is remarkable. I'm sure I'll have them the rest of my life.

Men's Work/Casual: 1620 USA

Hoodies and work pants here, but also really dig the Short Sleve Work Shirt even though wearing it makes me look a little bit like Linkin Park band member.

Ties: R. Hanauer and Brooks Brothers.

R. Hanauer's work is beautiful and made in South Carolina.

And while BB's isn't really BBs anymore, their ties all seem to be made in the USA.

In the last week, @LookAheadOrg scored major victories in FL, GA, and NJ on vaccine mandates and election integrity thanks to the work of our America First community Organizers.

/Thread
Florida Limits Vaccine Mandates. Our volunteers contacted all state legislators ahead of the Special Session to share constituent concerns and request meetings. We held many meetings with legislators via zoom & made sure they were fully educated about citizens’ demands.
Rural Georgia County Votes to Allow Sunday Voting. We successfully convinced Cherokee County to allow voting on Sunday to give rural, patriotic churches the same opportunity to organize “Souls to the Polls” as urban, progressive churches in places like Fulton and DeKalb.

Hello @IngrahamAngle:

You shared quite a lot of disinformation about our #JusticeforJ6 rally on September 18.

It's clear you don't know what we're protesting for or what we've been protesting about for eight months.
You claim ignorance despite us sending about thirty press releases to your network's producers over this time. While @foxnews hasn't covered it at all, nearly all of your local affiliates have.
I remember hearing you years ago complain about not getting invited to an important DC event back when your voice was not as strong as it is now.

You may not have heard of Look Ahead America yet but I promise you're going to hear a lot more.

In a particular conundrum on an @AmericanAir flight out of DC right now.

Bad weather caused a delay in departures so there's a traffic jam on the tarmac.

And the captain threatened if anybody else had to go to the bathroom he would take the plane back to the gate.
And people are getting upset when someone gets up to go to the bathroom because the captain threatened to bring the plane back.
But I'm sympathetic to people who can't hold it for an hour and a half which is how long it's been since our originally scheduled take-off time and we've all been sitting in these seats.

While it was not as bad/unfair as many hit pieces, Buzzfeed's story was written in a duplicitous and scummy way by @mimms.

I'll explain, but first here's the complete interview since context is missing from some of the quotes.

The day after the interview (Friday), I was flying to Yuma. When I landed in the mid-afternoon got a message from Sarah asking me to respond to two "senior staff" sources trashing my work with the Trump campaign.
(The story neglected to mention that all of the "senior staff" on the campaign were either fired or sharply demoted when I departed.)

Anyway, these quotes were demonstrably false and, if they had been attributed, would result in defamation lawsuits from me. (try me, cowards)

I understand frustration with @FoxNews for editing President Trump's interview, but @YouTube is the villain here. If Fox left it in, the whole interview would have been nuked by Youtube. 1/3
Similarly, at our first #j6 rally, one of the speakers brought up election questions.

Because I wanted the message about political prisoners to be spread as far as possible, I had to edit that comment out of the version we put on Youtube. And the video remains up today. 2/3
You can say, "Why bother with YT? Just use Rumble, etc."

One word: reach.

It is Look Ahead America's mission to go out into the middle of the world, find our lost brothers and sister, and bring them home.

If I could raise the money, I'd hire someone full time with Look Ahead America to do a "Grift Report" website that analyzes candidates ripping off donors and consultants ripping off candidates.
Example: This morning I spoke to a candidate who paid $24,500 of his own money for a 3rd-rate launch video. This candidate raised only $80k in the last quarter, including $50k he lent himself.
However, most of our focus would be on the "rev share" scammers who take ~90% of the money raised off low dollar donors, mostly through email/WinRed. The #1 victim of this scam.....

President Trump.
