I hope Charlie Kirk recovers quickly then, like James Brady, uses his megaphone to help advocate for common sense limits on firearms.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Elon and Space X are exactly the reason the Defense Production Act exists. Nationalize Space X and revoke Elon’s security clearance. His drug issues and financial ties to China would have disqualified any other non-billionaire years ago.

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process.
This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

It’s stuff like this why I will never forgive anyone who voted for him the third time. He told you he would do this. And you either wanted it, or were too stupid to believe it, or yes.

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

Elon Musk and DOGE have failed to cut spending despite creating massive chaos in the federal government, according to a review of official data by The Economist.
In fact, spending might actually be up since Trump took office.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.
How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65
Note: In 2024 alone, Musk’s enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

We as a country will save nothing. Federal employee salaries make up just 4% of the budget—roughly $271 billion. So even if every federal worker were fired, that’s the maximum you’d save. Meanwhile, the U.S. House GOP has released a budget that raises the debt limit by $4 trillion.

8” of snow so far in Lafayette, LA which doubles the most snow seen there since the 1895 storm dropped 14”. Very impressive!

One of the J6 convicts was subsequently convicted of trying to hire a hitman to murder several FBI agents. Will he get pardoned for that? And if he gets out, and then completes his attempted murder of the agents, will he get pardoned for THAT?

However, any state AGs should be looking at state charges against these violent criminals -- they almost certainly plotted the J6 attack in their home state before traveling.
