Alvin Bragg is bought by George Soros. He allows violent criminals to walk the streets of New York City, but will prosecute the likely Republican nominee (and former president) on a baseless misdemeanor charge. These people are trying to turn America into a third-world country.
I've been asked by multiple reporters if an indictment would lead me to rescind my endorsement of Donald Trump. The answer is: hell no. A politically motivated prosecution makes the argument for Trump stronger. We simply don't have a real country if justice depends on politics.

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.
As an 18-year-old kid, I supported the war. I enlisted in the Marines a month after we invaded, and left for bootcamp a few months after I graduated from high school. Even though I was just a kid, I still feel guilty for supporting the war.
I think often of what led me to go wrong in 2003, and more importantly, what led so many smart people to support a world-historic disaster. Very few of its cheerleaders show any remorse or willingness to rethink what made them so wrong.

Creating a banking system where all uninsured deposits become insured through government fiat also poses systemic risks.
Many people smarter than me were worried about a bank run. That's certainly a risk worth preventing. But I don't know why preventing that risk required an SVB bailout.
Yes, some SVB depositors did nothing wrong. (Full disclosure, some businesses I invested in had deposits in SVB, so this is a statement against interest.) But many banked with SVB because of cheap venture debt, or other services subsidized by SVB's risky business model.

None of these would improve the gun violence problem in this country. All of them satisfy the urge to "do something" without actually doing anything useful, at great cost to the rights of people who follow the law. Let's take just one example, "red flag" laws.
So all of us agree that we don't want insane people to go and buy a gun and kill people. The question is how to actually accomplish that goal. Importantly, it's already a violation of federal law to sell a gun to a crazy person. So what do red flag laws do?
They allow the government to eliminate peoples' rights without any due process. Say your neighbor calls the police and says you're a bad guy who's about to commit a crime? Or maybe your ex complains about you after an argument? Now the cops can show up and remove your firearms.

These 2 neocons want to blunder us into WW3.

What happens when Russia shoots down the plane of a European ally? America will be forced to respond with our blood & treasure.

Mandel & Gibbons are either too dumb to realize this, or they know & are ok with it. Absolutely reckless
Are these people unaware of who our leaders are? Do we want General Mark Milley to lecture the Russians about “white rage” after they blow up one of our planes? Do we trust Biden and Kamala to lead our nation in a war with a major power?
The answer is “of course not.” And this entire episode shows how reckless and idiotic our culture has become. The media will focus on Gibbons’s comments about women (yes they were bad) or the fact that he dared to read Charles Murray and talk about it.

McCaffery has spent decades (so has Boot) lining his pockets by encouraging disastrous wars that have nothing to do with our national interest. It's time to start putting our own people first, fix our broken border, and ignore the people who've been wrong about everything.
Here's a NY Times story about some of McCaffery's shameless business dealings, all done in the name of "national security"--all with the effect of dead American patriots and rich Washington military "leaders."

I'm glad to have Boot, Kristol, and the full gaggle of idiots as enemies. I welcome their scorn. When elected, we're going to look into the financial relationships that reward people for ignoring real problems (like the border and the drug crisis) while focusing on fake ones.

I somehow missed this segment on AirBnB banning Michelle Malkin. The fundamental question for our party is whether we’ll fight to ensure our own voters are able to participate in modern life. No more slogans. It’s time to end corporate tyranny.
Aside from the basic principle at stake, this is just a bizarre case. They actually told her husband he’s banned too because she might travel with him? This is just insane.
And to the liberal hall monitors who will inevitably complain about how Malkin did this or that: get a life. I don’t care.
