Finally got home and have time to share my top 5 thoughts on the #DeSantis2024 announcement today fwiw.

1) Obviously the tech glitches at the beginning were sub-optimal and drained some of the voluminous energy that was building going in. If the campaign fails, obviously we… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
2) Regardless of the clumsy start, the bottom line is this was the biggest story on the planet today, produced the highest-attended presidential announcement in history, and the campaign raised some serious cash. You can’t ask for more than that as a campaign. What DeSantis… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3) After his Iowa swing two weeks ago, I heard from people they wanted more of DeSantis off the cuff, and that he was better interacting with people than they expected. I think we saw that in this event. I get you typically have your stump speech prepared to formally launch, but… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
4) As I said before, my question to the governor was not scripted because none of them were. He knew I was going to ask about immigration because that’s exactly what was being discussed at the moment I was called upon.
5) If we had more time, the tech glitches at the stop ate into the time we had, I would’ve liked to hear more about Ukraine/foreign policy and the absolute travesty being done to non-violent January 6 political prisoners. We’ve still got 8 months to the Iowa Caucuses, so plenty… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

It ain’t about the name on the front: Trump, DeSantis, Cruz, McCain, Romney, etc.

It’s about the name on the back: ‘merica.

When we’re dumb, we let them make it about themselves. When we’re smart, we make them make it about us.

We can’t afford anymore dumb.
We have two pit bulls in this primary at least, when there were past years we weren’t sure we had any. And right when we need a proverbial killer, too! The absolute dumbest thing we could, then, is create an environment where we don’t make them truly show us the alpha dog.
They won’t do that to us. We will do this to ourselves, with silly high school BS. We want them to fight, but we need to supply the right piece of meat. Because we want whomever comes out of that cage ready for war.

Amen. So what happened? IMO, first clue was denial of natural immunity and no pursuit of focused protection (herd immunity) in 2020. At first I thought that was because they were tacitly admitting virus wasn't natural, and thus unsure how beholden it was to the laws of nature.
But then we started rolling out the jabs without updated national antibody data, because by then we had numerous studies that showed natural immunity remained sturdy against their chimeric concoction. So then why not pursue a traditional vaccine strategy to achieve herd immunity?
In other words, why weren't we finally doing focused protection? Focusing on those high risk, as Kyle pointed out? Why the rush to plunge the jab into every arm, including those with robust natural immunity?

Unless you want to impact culture with your religious beliefs, or see openly homosexual content, life in Beijing and Shanghai isn't much different than San Francisco or on most of our elite university campuses. Those responsible are now in charge of our military. It's not 1984.
This also won't be undone by a mere election, either. Remember when Trump wanted to ban gender dysphoria, and Milley and the Pentagon just ignored him? This thing is rotten at the core. THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.
Remember when the Ft Hood shooter murdered 13 people, and the Secretary of the Army went on CNN to hope this didn't ruin their Islamic diversity recruitment program? That was 2009! This thing is rotten to the core. THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.

This tweet of mine received several snarky, blue check-marked replies this weekend. Including this one from Ben, who is a journalist that in the past I've had pleasant and professional interactions with. Which is why I chose this one to respond to respectfully in this thread.
I don't believe we should use such language flippantly, or make such claims loosely. Setting aside the self-refuting notion that things were so serious we had to halt our entire way of life worldwide and now to claim it wasn't really that bad, I'm happy to clarify.
As of Sunday night at 11 p.m. eastern time, Covid-19 is reportedly responsible for 6.74 million deaths globally -- and absolutely every single one of them was avoidable and unnecessary. And all of them caused by governments against peaceful citizens.

You’re learning why we lost so much ground despite all the elections we won. Because most of those we voted for and watched/read/listened to were playing for access like it’s high school. When successful politics is really about confrontation and leverage, as you’re seeing now.
Access is based on relationships and ambition. Leverage is based on policy and personnel. The Right has been about access for decades, just trading out tribal chieftains and their simps/proxies every few cycles. The Left has been about leverage, and transformed the whole country.
Translation: we succeeded at making a lot of people rich and entrenched who didn’t do a damned thing for us but enable our disenfranchisement.

The Left got systemic cultural transformation and still got rich!

The last time a NFL player died on the field from a cardiac event was Chuck Hughes in 1971. But that was a very different time. In that era, coaches smoked on the sidelines in-game. Players smoked, even at halftime of the Super Bowl. Image
Nor did we have the early detection for heart disease that we do now, either in society or professional sports. The percentage of deaths by heart disease from those who suffered from it in America has dropped 67% since 1970.
Factor in superior nutrition, superior strength and conditioning (which is in its nascent stages in sports in 1971), superior healthcare and monitoring, and today's athletes look absolutely nothing like they did in 1971. It's like another breed of human.
