Here's the question for Trump's MAGA fans: Should DeSantis win the primary, will you support him against Biden? Or are you wedded not to principles but to fluffing Trump's ego? #TimeForChoosing
Trump hitting DeSantis for a plan that gets rid of the IRS and the entire U.S. tax code
Trump also hitting DeSantis for his support of nuclear power
More hits from the left. Trump attacks DeSantis for opposing the ethanol mandate & grants to U.S. farmers "to protect them from China"

Here's the real reason Democrats are desperate to raise the debt ceiling:
When, next week, the Treasury starts taking in less than it's scheduled to distribute, many progressives claim the U.S. will default. But as I've been explaining over the last couple weeks, this is false.
The CBO projects 2023 interest on the debt will run $640B. 2023 federal tax receipts are estimated to be $4.6 trillion (7x more than needed to avoid default). Federal law & the Constitution require creditors be paid in full, whereas discretionary spending is merely “allocated”
When revenues can’t meet expenditures, the president is the authority on which payments are made. If anyone’s “holding the economy hostage,” it’s Democrats, who are threatening default as leverage against Republicans to expand borrowing for unrelated wasteful spending.
@petestrzok@SpeakerPelosi .@RepJerryNadler, Nov. 30, 2018: "It’s become very clear that the Trump campaign colluded with Russians in trying to subvert the election.”
.@RepJamesComer: Biden received more than a million dollars from a Romanian official convicted of corruption; "in fact, the money stops flowing from the Romanian national soon after Joe Biden leaves the vice presidency."
Rep. Comer: A whistleblower has provided us information about a "complicated, suspicous network of over 20 companies" the Bidens used to take money from foreign nationals
.@RepAndyBiggsAZ details how a Chinese spy network used shell companies to funnel millions of dollars to the Biden family
Today the WH refused to call the Nashville terror attack a "hate crime," saying "it's not for us to decide."
Yet last May, the WH @PressSec was much less circumspect about the Buffalo mass shooting.
@PressSec "We still need to learn more about the motivation ... as law enforcement do — does their work. But we don’t — we don’t need anything else to stay — to state a clear moral truth — right? — which is: A racially motivated hate crime is abhorrent to the very fabric of this nation"
Cont'd: "Hate must not have a safe harbor. This is something that the president says very often, especially in these horrific incidents that we have seen time and time again. We must do everything in our power to end hate-fueled domestic terrorism ..."
What’s something popular from your youth/high school that would never fly today?
I’ll start …
In my HS we had Senior Slave Day. To raise $, underclassmen would bid on seniors & make them do whatever. We had a beast of a black dude on our hockey team. I recall a freshman girl had bought him, dressed him in a tutu, & even had him on a leash. (He was laughing the whole time)
Every homecoming we also had a massive bonfire. (I went to New Canaan High School in Conn.) People would throw all kinds of things in there. And of course people would booze beforehand. It was awesome, but can’t imagine it happening today.
Another huge story the media's hiding: Countries around the world are collaborating to de-dollarize the global economy. It's hard to emphasize how quickly this will pull the rug out from underneath the U.S. govt. Here's Kenya's president @WilliamsRuto warning something's coming
@WilliamsRuto I posted the whole clip because in the second half he sounds more like an American president of yore — discussing the importance of free enterprise & free markets — than the actual U.S. president today. Clearly they understand economics better than Washington.
If I had to guess, Pres. Ruto is probably referring to this:
