Why the f*ck were we giving $1.3k a month to a couple that decided to retire at 50 & 58 years old? We’ll have to bankroll them for another 20-25 years while they contribute literally nothing to the economy, and you’re mad we aren’t giving them more money???
I’m going to hold your hand while you hear me say this: Social Security’s retirement age of 65 was specifically chosen because most Americans didn’t live that long. Taxpayers were never supposed to bankroll decades of playing golf and Carnival cruises.
Loudoun County rapist's mother: It was an 'accident' and a real victim wouldn't 'sit there and take it'
Read this, and you'll understand just how so much went so wrong in so little time. Absent father, bad mother, and a walking red flag for a son. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/loudou…
Loudoun County (convicted) rapist's mother: "If I was in a position where I was about to be raped, I would be screaming, kicking, everything. You're 15. You can reasonably defend yourself. You're not just going to sit there and take it." washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/loudou…

When encountered by the Washington Examiner, Mayor Bowser confirmed that she officiated the maskless, indoor wedding, but when asked why she was violating her own mask mandate, her security retinue quickly escorted her away. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/dc-may…

A brief thread on America's Sweetheart Simone Biles: the first thing to understand is that she is not in Tokyo for her own personal glory. She is already the #GOAT. She is there as a service, not just for the US, but also for every future gymnast in the country 1/x
The US grew from a nonentity in the world gymnastics game to the greatest in large part because of USA Gymnastics's embrace of the Soviet-caliber training of Bela & Marta Karolyi. At Karolyi ranch, gymnasts were bullied & starved into greatness outside of external supervision 2/x

Physical brawling breaks out in front of the Western Conservative Summit at a Denver Hyatt after members of Antifa threatened to break my phone for reporting on their protest.
To be clear, I identified myself as a journalist, not an attendee of the conference, and they’re protesting on a public street

This is why the media must to destroy DeSantis. They bet on Cuomo as their perfect anti-Trump foil & lost, and DeSantis makes them look like morons.
Ron DeSantis is not Donald Trump. Sure, he has the same pugnacious energy, but unlike a reality TV star billionaire with the discipline of a goldfish, DeSantis is actually good at *governing*. The media is picking the GOP POTUS frontrunner, once again, at their own peril.

A justice-fueled #MeToo movement is a necessary societal good. The unceasing smear campaign containing not a modicum of evidence against Brett Kavanaugh corrodes it, with actual victims of sexual abuse bearing the brunt of the consequences. A thread 1/x washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/the-an…
The #MeToo movement works as a social implementation of the justice process, abiding by the general rules of due process in demanding that allegations be evaluated with empathy but on the basis of evidence, not that we take allegations at face value. 2/x washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/the-an…
Serious question to "conservatives" who want the gov't to regulate social media: what do you do when the GOP loses control of the White House & Congress? That day will come, even if only temporarily. When it does, do you want President AOC appointing the regulators?
Two things can be true at once: 1. It’s immoral for social media platforms to call themselves objective platforms and then inconsistently regulate speech. 2. The government has neither the right nor the competency to regulate this problem out of existence.

USC SJP protesting @benshapiro. The girl saying "Do you think he's hiding under a table standing up?" runs SJP and led a harassment campaign against my Jewish writers and I two years ago. @benshapiro, do your thing. #FactsDontCareAboutYourFeelings
There's a time & a place to protest the actual bad guys *Ainsley Carry cough cough*, but I can't imagine what a miserable, anti-Semitic nerd you'd have to be to spend a Thirsty Thursday having a public meltdown about the JEWS instead of A. pregaming or B. doing actual work.
