remember when a member of richard spencer’s entourage fired a gun into a crowd during his college speaking tour and they kept letting him speak on college campuses? it was about two months after a woman was murdered at an event he was headlining.

He advises looking at this without sentiment and without sentiment I think the best way to solve this problem is to enforce 1950s level top marginal rates and fold capital gains into income, and uncap social security contributions. It’s just the RATIONAL response.

Huge story breaking right now in NYC: BK Dems party boss Rodneyse Bichotte-Hermelyn announced that she's subverting the will of Brooklyn's voters (a majority of whom recently voted to change party leadership) by dramatically changing the rules in order to hang onto her position as party boss.

Fox News's lead sports analysts are a man who played three NBA games, scoring zero points, and a former college swimmer who once tied for 5th place. Here's a look at how liberals reward mediocrity with participation trophies.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Angelenos are frustrated right now. I'm frustrated right now. That's why I decided to run. If it feels like the mayor isn't listening, drags her feet, and isn't focused on the things that matter...that's because it's true. You deserve leaders who show up, do the work, and fight for you.

This is the wrong decision for transit in New York. Existing rights-of-way that travel through dense, under-served neighborhoods do not grow on trees, and it's a massive own goal for any city to not take advantage of them. No plan does this better than @queenslink.org.

Also note this still from this video. Apparently the ideal land use in downtown Brooklyn is to have car parking on both sides of the street, rampant double parking, an underground garage and a stacked surface level parking lot all right next to each other? Wtf are we even doing here.
