Tariffs break the visibility of the graph. So I carve them out.

This is likely the core stat that is being not only misrepresented, but twisted to read as deaths for the other team.

UNICEF and UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR): In the early months of the 2022 Russian invasion, UNICEF reported that over 1 million children had fled Ukraine as refugees. By 2023–2024, the UN estimated that over 4.3 million Ukrainian children had been displaced due to Russian bombardment.

9% of US natural gas is imported. Canada is by far the largest source of natural gas imported into the United States, accounting for over 98%–99% of total U.S. natural gas imports (nearly all delivered via cross-border pipelines).

Here ya go Adam. I made you a graph.

Here's the general read from us folks in the middle. Our government can't even do the things it knows are controversial well. Defund the govt.

I've updated my graph with the latest prices of diesel.

Ah ha. We found common ground! Yes. Lets fire every member of Congress that is currently a part of the problem. Problem statement: Not working for the American people on our most key issues. Which issues those are we will need radicals and actual centrist to help hone in on and work out.

Ooooooo.... Hahahahaha. Ok bro.

King Midas @king-midas.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

No. That's another lost dem. He isn't a centrist at all. You confuse spineless with folks that have different gauges for social items vs fiscal (the actual meaning of centrist)

King Midas @king-midas.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Ah. I see what you mean. You are conflating chuck with centrist. Chuck is a do nothing, no strategy spinless dude that doesn't stand for much. If that's what you mean, I tend to agree. That guy sucks.

King Midas @king-midas.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Meaning you think centrists don't want some of those things?

King Midas @king-midas.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Good news, the centrists aren't done with you. The harder they pull right, the harder y'all pull left. The pendulum's amplitude is in fact what is destroying the country. Replacing radicals with radicals is flat out dumb.

Here it is with the projected line in it. We are flirting with zero, a lot. But statistically, the current group isn't more inaccurate than the last. Just trying to help the left wing conspiracy theorists. KM

I made a graph. First Print vs. Revised.

King Midas @king-midas.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

This graph is incomplete. I made one that explains this better. As inflation dropped from the pandemic ending (supply chain disruptions ended). We should have seen interest rates and then mortgage rates drop. The fed couldn't lower the rate because of other inflationary factors (tariffs).

There will be investigation after investigation. Trial after trial. It will take years to bring accountability. However. Accountability is coming.

I'm shocked this happened before the election. I think smith is likely to destroy a bunch of his inquisitors via logic and facts.

King Midas @king-midas.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

To be clear. We all know what happened. This ain't a "the universe created an environment that couldn't be predicted thing.". This is a y'all decided to bomb Iran thing.

These gvmt-funded ads violate federal law because they recycle partisan campaign material for self-aggrandizing promotion. Swapping a campaign tag for a Paid for by the U.S. Government disclaimer breaches statutory "publicity and propaganda" bans, the Antideficiency Act, and the separation of powers

I would add, if facts throw off your politics, you may be doing this wrong. Lemme help: "Well midas, this is a misleading number the president is using because, the poverty number is influenced most by the rise in income. Which on its face is good news, it however doesn't contemplate inflation."

It's ok dude. Just say, I didn't know the census bureau does stuff outside the core census. It's like taking your vegetables.

The U.S. Census Bureau publishes official national income and poverty statistics annually (each September) rather than quarterly. The primary instrument used to calculate the official figures is the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC).

King Midas @king-midas.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Unpopular take in the blue sky: This is a real and correct statistic. The U.S. Census Bureau data shows that the official poverty rate dropped to 10.2%, representing 34.5 million people, which stands as the lowest poverty rate ever recorded since the bureau began tracking the official measure.

I have interviewed more than 1000 people in my career. So I say the following with a ton of experience. It is common to need a drink when you are being asked to speak for an hour. Typically offering a drink prior is a common curiosity. If the human has a Stanley or a cup of coffee already? 👍

This isn't about anything but the first part. At the polls we should vote for folks that want to restore the executive branch to its co-equal place. Hold the corrupt to account. End the war. And most importantly reinstitute a sense of intelligence and pride in how we govern ourselves.

King Midas @king-midas.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Well, I'm sure none of these folks vote. Right?

Notice the price while Ukraine was at war before Iran.... Meaning, Russia has nothing to do with the price of diesel.

I made a graph so we can look at the facts.

King Midas @king-midas.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

This is semi directionally correct: Lemme clean this up: AI data centers (which is the context of the publics concerns) use approximately: 200 to 300 mm gallons per year. Golf courses you 300 to 350mm Both use a blend of potable and non potable water.

It's a misdirection: he is attributing the wrong war on purpose.

Just making sure we aren't confused.

King Midas @king-midas.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I made a graph so we all know where we need to place blame. Reminder. The power to go to war rests in the hands of Congress. This power was granted there because it is meant to counter balance the branch that directs the standing army (the executive branch). Both run by the GOP. Both failing
