Governments can bankrupt citizens by forcing them to pay for mandated services, similar to a monopoly. This issue underlies health supply systems, where increased demand without more facilities leads to inflation.

NYC's healthcare shows a stark two-tiered system: the wealthy get private, boutique medicine while others face long waits and rely on urgent care or ERs for primary needs.

Facing a choice between continuing the fight or surrendering, this path is the only option left. As a Marine, the stance is clear: resist until the very end. There's still fight left, and that means not stopping.

One in four NYC kids is labeled 'special needs' for financial reasons, not actual disability. Labeling children can cause lasting harm, impacting their self-perception and future opportunities. #education #policy

Challenging regulations 2 weeks before a deadline? A judge might just say 'too late.' The argument: requiring $100k for lawsuits and $1M to get on the ballot effectively creates an aristocracy, excluding anyone but billionaires or the establishment from running.

A judge's oath to the Constitution is voided by banning the Bill of Rights from court. She will be removed, her pension revoked, and state employees writing her checks will be fired. This judge, who is Black, removed a Black father from his teenage daughter despite the absence of a victim.

A fraternity expelled two members and made others write essays after a student reported a gang sexual assault. Larry Sharpe explains one expellee was fired from Wells Fargo. She admitted to consensual sex with five of the seven men involved. #news #university

Trump's coalition relies heavily on independents and Democrats open to voting Republican. If he loses this group, the rest of his base is likely gone. The Democratic party's shift away from overtly 'woke' messaging might be an attempt to reclaim these voters. #politics #elections

Larry Sharpe @larrysharpe.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Trump campaign ads, word-for-word from his speeches, are playing on big screens at his convention. Advisors admit he can't win independents, suggesting these ads aim to motivate his base. Using taxpayer dollars for this feels deeply unethical and sets a dangerous precedent. #politics #ethics

New York's ballot access laws, meant to curb independent candidates after past successes, have effectively eliminated them. Despite claims of ease, not a single independent presidential candidate made it onto the 2024 New York ballot. #politics #NYpolitics

Larry Sharpe @larrysharpe.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

New York's ballot access laws are designed to limit voter choice, ironically mirroring criticisms leveled against other nations. Independent candidates face hurdles that stifle competition, a stark contrast to the democratic ideals professed elsewhere. #politics #elections

New York was the only state in 2024 without independent presidential candidates on the ballot. Judges made up rules mid-trial to silence me, forcing me to write arguments to even speak. It’s astonishing. #NYpolitics #elections

Larry Sharpe @larrysharpe.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Local elections in NY saw 107 Libertarians elected, a significant shift. Then, rules changed mid-cycle, removing ballot access that previously lasted 4 years. This effectively barred future candidacies, with judges uninterested in the apparent ethical breach. #NYpolitics #libertarian

Larry Sharpe @larrysharpe.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Petition signatures were meant as a ballot access alternative to small filing fees. Instead, they became a de facto fee 1,000x larger. States like Tennessee allow presidential candidates to pay $200, with no flood of candidates or ballot confusion. It's all hogwash. #politics #voting

Society keeps punching young men, and then wonders about the rise in violence. The focus should be on the wealthy, not on a generation that hasn't done anything wrong. One man stood his ground against the hive mind, and he's going to inspire more to do the same. #masculinity #society

Why debate when you're up by 10-20 points? It seems counterintuitive, but the governor's team is reportedly much stronger now than in 2022, likely prepping her to decisively win. #politics #ny

New York conservatives are frustrated, but the blame lies inward. Decades of inaction allowed current political trends. Bruce Blakeman warned them: only he truly respected their values, while others dismissed or insulted them.

Larry Sharpe @larrysharpe.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The real issue isn't the alleged event itself, but the power dynamic between a politician and their staff. If true, the concern is using that power to force sexual favors upon juniors. This is the crucial question to consider. #politics #power

A recent Converse ad featured a shadow resembling a Klansman. After The Black Briefing added KKK imagery to the photo and shared it, claiming it was intentional and vowing vigilance, the situation escalated. The ad was then manipulated to depict a lynching, with blame shifted onto the brand.

Larry Sharpe @larrysharpe.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Lynching isn't just hanging. The knot placement differs: a side knot for execution versus a back knot for a slow choke. It targeted the strongest and weakest Black men, not always the guilty. The purpose wasn't punishment, but control—a message to instill fear and keep a community in check. #history

Government agencies are incentivized to perpetuate problems, not solve them, to secure grants. Charity models, conversely, must showcase success stories to receive donations.

Ending wars is complex. Claiming 'mission accomplished' for 8 wars is pure propaganda; most are still active. At best, maybe 5 concluded, and not all were major conflicts. Imagine the narrative if Trump had actually brokered peace deals instead of continued bombing. #politics #foreignpolicy

Larry Sharpe @larrysharpe.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Government incentives often miss the mark. For children with disabilities, the system in New York, for example, rewards labeling rather than actual improvement. If fewer disabled children exist, funding decreases.

When people are drowning, they'll grab any hand offered, regardless of its symbol. Lots of Americans are drowning and seeking answers. If we don't offer a good one, they'll accept a bad one. Socialism always leads to totalitarianism; capitalism is the only path to freedom. #politics #society

Many in Congress are puppets, letting consultants and lobbyists dictate policy. Thomas Massie stands out as a brilliant, independent thinker. His willingness to prioritize the Constitution over political alignment, even against party lines, is a rare and valuable quality we desperately need more of.

The ability to make an impact, even a small one, is what scares the established parties. Achieving 50-state ballot access is the path to that impact, and the Libertarian Party is the only vehicle that can do it. It's not about liking them; it's about who else can. #libertarian

Neither Republicans nor Democrats delivered on major promises like a balanced budget or Medicare for All. If you want real change, a third party is the answer. Even securing 5% of the vote makes them a genuine threat, influencing future elections and policies. #politics #thirdparty

This victim mentality is insane. It's alarming how many people are drawing 6-figure government paychecks to advocate for policies that don't benefit them, all while claiming to need help. They're getting paid to do this. #politics #economics

Instead of focusing on DACA, why not push for actual immigration reforms? The goal should be controlled immigration, not just calling politicians names. Making it easier to become a vetted citizen would also encourage self-deportation for those who don't want to go through the process. #immigration

The current Trump isn't the 2016 version many supporters recall. The former president was once more powerful, a better communicator, and perceived as more of a rebel. This isn't that man anymore, and his current popularity struggles highlight the shift. #politics #Trump

Turns out the political strategy is to wait until election day to announce a $5,000 dividend if Republicans lose control. "So if you lose, we don't get the $5 grand?" That's not a policy, that's a bribe. #politics #economics

Monitoring law-abiding citizens for over a year on mere suspicion feels like a Fourth Amendment affront and a slide into a surveillance state. The casual acceptance of this, even the notion of being 'innocent until proven broke,' is unsettling. This shouldn't be normal. #privacy #surveillance

Adirondack thinks a debate with Blakeman will be entertaining. The ironic part? Blakeman actually wants the debate. It's expected he'll be thoroughly outmatched, as Hochul's team is significantly stronger than Blakeman's.

The debate over Mayor Mamdani attending the 9/11 memorial is fraught. Some say he shouldn't go, others argue he absolutely must. It feels less about the event and more about political signaling, especially given the people who object are unlikely to ever vote for him. #NYC #politics

A proposal: give everyone in the state $24,000 over two years. Option one for 16-year-olds? Get a job. Learn a work ethic: show up on time (early, even). Mistakes are cheap at 16, not so much at 26. #workethic #earlycareer

New York State spends $40,000 per kid on K-12 education, yet still ranks near the bottom nationally. It's the most expensive in the US, often competing with Luxembourg for the top global spot. Perhaps ending the K-12 program for a K-10 would be a start? #education #policy

Ballot access is a significant hurdle, especially for third parties who face gamesmanship from major parties. It's disheartening to see reasonable discussions kept from voters, not just in presidential races, but also for governor and lower offices. The system needs reform. #politics #democracy

In America, your ability to afford a defense attorney directly impacts your trial's fairness. If you can't afford six figures, you're essentially presumed guilty. With seven figures, you might even get off, even if guilty. One DA even openly stated, 'He's innocent until proven broke.' #legal

Jury instructions on the law are often a lie. You don't have to follow them even if you don't agree. Nobody ever asks you to explain your verdict, so you can do what you want. This isn't taught, and it's not taught intentionally. #law #juries
