Political leftists- candidates, GC’s, etc are absolutely thrilled #RoeOverturned. They have SOMETHING to run on. To message. To stump speech. Otherwise, what? The great economy? The safe streets? POTUS’ leadership?

They are overjoyed but come November let’s see if it worked.
Suburban soccer moms who lean left and are pro choice will see their abortion laws haven’t changed.

But they’re still paying $5 gas and 50% more for groceries. They can’t find baby formula (ignore the irony).

A candidate yammering about Roe doesn’t remedy any of that.
Don’t ask your Senate/House candidate about Roe. It’s not a federal issue. Ask your State Rep, State Senate & Governor.

Power should be local. As local as possible where you- the people- have more say.

You think the yahoo going to DC cares? He cares about Raytheon & Pfizer.
The decisions that matter to you- your rights, your kids schooling, your taxes, land use, energy & utilities, should be local. You should be scrutinizing your Governor much more than the President.

Federalism works. It will work again. If DC let’s it…
There are 16,000 idiots working at the Dept of Ed. How well schooled is your kid? You think those DC idiots, working 9-5 with PTO and 401k unable to be fired, care? Of course they don’t care.

Imagine those resources at the local level. Where you have a say. They’d care then.
Roe is a monster wake up call to federalism. Don’t like Mississippi laws? No worries. Don’t live there. I didn’t like NY laws and I moved. It’s necessary. Sometimes it hurts. But it’s the only way we don’t go to civil war.

But if NY gets to dictate everyone’s laws, we’re doomed.
My belief in federalism is greater than even some freedom. Meaning: to donate to state & local candidates you must be a resident. No more Soros funded DA’s where he doesn’t live. No more national fundraisers for DeSantis. Residents only.

It’s the only way we avoid civil war.

🧵 1/4 The Four Horseman of the #RoeVsWade prolife moment:

1. Harry Reid for tanking the filibuster. Thanks, Harry!
2/4 @LeaderMcConnell for tanking petty Stasi operative Merrick Garland. Thanks, Leader!
3/4 #RBG herself who so wanted @HillaryClinton to nominate her replacement she refused to step down. Her hubris gave us #ACB. Thanks, Justice Ginsberg!!

Why aren’t oil companies producing? They have 9,000 leases? A 🧵:

The average well costs about $10million in financing. Personnel and equipment. Legal. Compliance. EIS. Etc. That’s $10million before 1 drop of oil is even produced. Next:
The average well produces 21 barrels a day. Average- some do produce 10,000. Some produce 0. But we’ll stick with the average

22 x $120 = $2640 per day. Good money, right? Very good.

You’ve got $10 in debt. Next:
$963,600 is the annual gross for that well assuming 22 barrels consistent, no anomalies, etc…

How’s that $10million debt coming along? How many years to pay it off? Next.

Inexpensive, reliable, domestic energy built America. Forgoing it is destroying America.

Every business, farm, vacation, purchase is premised on energy. It powers the world.

America is blessed by God with abundant fossil fuels which have made us richer, healthier, and stronger.
Every green plan- every one- is premised on enriching china at americas expense and growing government power. It restricts freedom and opportunity. It’s one giant lie.

Energy is freedom, and @JoeBiden and the greens do not believe in freedom. They believe in control.
Let the energy sector do what it does best and did under Trump: produce more, for less, at the greatest number of people, in the most efficient way.

But to return to 2019 means a return to freedom, and @JoeBiden does not believe in freedom. Establishment R’s don’t either.

"Tolerance" and "Equity" are not virtues. They are the bastard children of marxist philosophy. They have no root in our judeochristian society or western values from Aristotle to Maritain. They are post-modern, post-Christian and their intent is to corrupt and destroy.
Tolerance and Equity have corrupted our schools, Churches, institutions, and government. They masquerade as recognizable values and are easily embraced out of fear and misunderstanding. This is their nature and methodology.
Tolerance and Equity have given us the deeply flawed "Criminal Justice Reform" movement which puts the right in bed with George Soros. They inspire the push to "revisit" what works like the family and the police, replacing them with systems at odds with our culture.

Bill Gates is building a small city for his daughter’s wedding but told @andersoncooper about the sacrifices we all must make for #ClimateChange. Just remember this when he or other billionaires tell you it’s existential. It’s a lie. The whole thing.
Not one climate warrior- not Gates, Bloomberg, John Kerry- not one will sacrifice a drop of their personal comfort or luxury for #ClimateChange - but they WILL support laws which gives government the power to force you to sacrifice.

That is why they must be defeated.
Next month 30,000 people will fly to Scotland to yammer about the existential crisis. Hundreds of private jets will land. Haughty @JohnKerry will mumble for hours about the “threats”.

No one will join via Skype because they don’t have to. They are the ones with power.

A year ago your “Republican” friends on Facebook started posting how they were voting for “decency” and looking to bring “dignity” in the Oval Office. “I may disagree with Biden on some things, but…”. And they told you how much better humans they were.

Boy, have they shut up.
“I’ve voted Republican my entire life, but…” they wrote with heavily edited, self-absorbed prose. So proud of themselves, too. So eager to get the praise of liberals and clueless suburbanites. “We’re gonna build back better!” they proclaimed greedily smelling their own stupid.
“I know this will cost my some friendships, but…” they Sylvia Plathed. Martyrs for humanity. The last vestiges of heroes like Jeff Flake and Link Chaffee.

Remember them? The sanctimony? The smug? I remember most of all the cowardice.

Their recent reticence is joyous.
