Libertarianism is just HOA rules but for society—everyone wants freedom until their neighbor builds a catapult.
The House of Representatives is out again. Back in my day, “public service” didn’t mean hiding from work like a teenager who forgot his science project. #oldwhitemansays

East Wing’s gone? Figures. You build a nation on marble and interns, and it all goes up faster than a gluten-free bonfire. #OldWhiteManSays

Shutdown Day [X]. Congress keeps cashing checks like parasites at the trough. Meanwhile soldiers, TSA, and border agents work without pay. The cowards in suits hide behind speeches while the people on the line can’t buy groceries. Parasites get paid. Patriots get screwed. #oldwhitemansays

In speeches, Vought spoke of “demoralizing federal workers to the point that they don’t want to do their jobs.”
“.. we want them to not want to go .. because they are.. viewed as the villains,” he said. “We want to put them in trauma.”

A ‘shutdown’ means the monuments close, but the money printer hums, the wars run on autopilot, and Congress still gets paid. It's funny how the government only shuts down the parts you actually like. #OldWhiteManSays

The administration promoting coal is like your doctor prescribing cigarettes—sure, it’ll keep the economy coughing for a while, but don’t be surprised when the patient dies wheezing. #oldwhitemansays

Trump says he’s sending troops to Portland. To do what, secure the farmer’s market? Guard the food carts? If this is a “war zone,” then Starbucks must be Fallujah. #l#oldwhitemansays

All the top brass are in Washington. That’s never about defense. It’s about selling the next war. Watch the speeches about ‘security’ while the contracts get signed and the body bags get ordered. What is Hegseth up to? #oldwhitemansays

On the James Comey indictment: This isn’t prosecuting based on law. It’s prosecuting by political assignment. The original prosecutor quit citing a lack of evidence. That tells you more than any sealed indictment ever will. #oldwhitemansays

Tylenol causes autism? Kid, everything causes autism these days. I drank leaded gas, chewed on asbestos, and washed it down with Schlitz — the only thing I got was divorced. #oldwhitemansays

FCC threatening TV networks? That’s not regulation, that’s extortion with a government letterhead. We broke up Ma Bell for less. Maybe it’s time to remind the censors who actually owns the airwaves—We the People."

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel is the final punchline. The networks don’t cancel jokes, they cancel comedians. Late night went from Carson to corporate hall monitors. If you think this is about taste, you’re the joke. #ComedyIsDead #oldwhitemansays

We used to debate ideas, not treat them like religious relics. Charlie Kirk, who should not have been shot, turned conservatism into merch, grievance into a hobby, and campus tours into audition tapes for apocalypse. The real danger isn’t what he said: it’s who’s listening like it’s gospel.

Funny how on September 11th we all swore “never again”… and yet 20 years later we cheer for political violence at home like it’s a sport. The enemy didn’t win that day—he’s winning now, with our applause.

When speeches end in shootings, democracy itself is on life support. The Charlie Kirk attack isn’t just about left or right—it’s about whether we still value life over ideology. #oldwhitemansays
