This is obviously a false choice. Even you’ve complained about the 600k visas for CCP students, Laura. 47 has: 📚 Called for 600k visas for CCP students 🖥️ Offered Nvidia’s best chips to China for a cut 📱 Allowed China to keep spying on Americans via Tik Tok giveaway 🇹🇼…

Some folks would be willing to let China take over the world rather than admit they were wrong about "free trade."  It’s a silly, spiteful way to think.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

The Heritage Foundation is, as its erstwhile hero Milton Friedman would say, free to choose to go in this direction, and all of Heritage’s donors, supporters and allies are free to choose whether they still want to hold Heritage in high regard. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…

There was nothing near bankruptcy. That’s a canard, a fib, hyperbole or something else. But it isn’t the truth. #ksleg

I said near-bankruptcy, Jethro. I guess reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.



Do you have a link or anything else that backs up the “bankruptcy” canard? #ksleg

Remember when Brownback (with your help) drove the state into near-bankruptcy? I do. Remember how the KS SC had to FORCE the #KSLEG to fund public schools properly? I do.

If solar and wind power are so cheap, why is it that the countries with the largest amount of it on their grid also have the highest electricity prices?

Trump: "China is paying tremendous amounts of money to us in the form of tariffs." US businesses actually paying the tariffs: "The newly imposed tariffs are increasing our raw material costs and hindering our ability to compete in the export market.”

This. Republicans should confidently run on driving down the cost of healthcare! We can choose #HealthcareFreedom - with expansive HSA’s, health sharing, Direct Primary Care… doctors & patients over insurance companies & big hospitals.

The Washington Post finally got it right: ““The real problem is that Obamacare was never actually affordable.... This is how entitlement programs work. Once you habituate people to some generous government handout, they grow dependent on it. And it becomes politically perilous,…

Dear @Jacobin, as you surely know, every nation in which attempts have been made to have a predominance of public ownership ends in mass poverty and eventually totalitarianism. Except, that is, for those in charge. The apparatchiks of #socialism always do very well . . .

We need to develop a vision of socialist politics that is not just making capitalism more humane but about building a radically different kind of society, where public and cooperative ownership of the economy predominates: jacobin.com/2025/09/social…

The problem with the “Remember, Democrats could abuse this power too when they’re in charge again” argument isn’t that it is wrong. It’s that it misses the fact that abusing power when your team is in charge is simply wrong on the merits. The same applies to “well, they abused…

So long as radio and TV stations are using public property, the government is going to have a say in how that property is used. If you want Brendan Carr to be less powerful, take away the FCC's unjust control over broadcasting by privatizing the airwaves. New from me @NRO
