"Social media rewards jerky behavior, encourages mass jerkdom in the larger populace, corrupts journalism, corrodes empathy, encourages fakery, deprives arguments of context, distorts reality, spreads unhappiness, and on and on and on." - Jaron Lanier

During a recent press conference, a reporter with MSNBC hollered from the press corps, "Where is President Trump hiding his tax returns?" Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, astutely responded, "We've found a very secure place and I'm certain they won't be found." "And just where is that?" said the reporter sarcastically. Mrs. Sanders grinned sardonically and said, "They are underneath Obama's college records, his passport application, his immigration status as a student, his funding sources to pay for college, his college records, and his Selective Service registration."

HYPOTHETICALLY… IF I BOUGHT MY HOUSE FOR $125,000 IN 2002 AND THE COUNTY NOW SAYS IT’S WORTH $487,000, WHERE DID I ACTUALLY MAKE $362,000? Did I sell it? No. Did I receive $362,000? No. Did somebody hand me a check for the new assessed value? Obviously not. But my property taxes still go up because, on paper, my house is suddenly worth hundreds of thousands more. That’s the part that doesn’t make sense to me. This isn’t income. It isn’t cash sitting in my bank account. It’s a number someone assigned to my property, and now I’m being billed based on that number. If my stock portfolio doubles but I don’t sell, I haven’t turned that gain into cash. If my salary stays the same, I don’t suddenly owe more income tax because someone thinks I’m worth more. So why does owning a home work differently? WHY AM I PAYING TAX ON A GAIN I NEVER REALIZED? A house isn’t just an investment. It’s where people live. You can pay off the mortgage, own the property outright, and still face a bigger bill every year because the value of the house went up on paper. At some point, you have to ask what “owning” something actually means if the cost of keeping it can keep rising because of money you never received. THIS ISN’T ABOUT WHETHER THE HOUSE IS “WORTH” MORE. IT’S ABOUT BEING CHARGED FOR VALUE YOU NEVER TURNED INTO CASH. And people are starting to notice.

Five of you shall betray the people …
🚨New: Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s parole board has released 7/8 felons who have had parole hearings so far today. We’re talking about people who were convicted of murder, rape, child abuse, and bank robbery. Several had decades left on their sentences. Several victims have pleaded with the board not to release. Today, one inmate told the Virginia Parole Board he and his fellow inmates are thankful the board is letting them out and then told the board to have a “safe day.”

Ed Markey has been on the public payroll since Nixon was president, and he still will not look you in the eye. 53 years. Three debates against Seth Moulton when his own seat was on the line. Then he cancelled the second debate against me and ran home to Chevy Chase, Maryland. WCVB had that date set since March. He showed up for the primary. He ducked you. That is not a scheduling conflict. That is contempt. Yesterday our billboard truck sat outside the house he actually lives in, in Maryland. Yesterday it circled his Senate office in Washington, the one Massachusetts pays for while he lives somewhere else. Still no commitment. If he will not defend the record, he should get out of the Senate. My ask: Call him. Email him. Show up. Demand he debate, and demand he get his ass back to Massachusetts and answer to the people he claims to represent. His affordability lines die the second someone pushes back. That is why he hides. Share this. Then comment what we should send next until he agrees to debate. Massachusetts deserves a fighter, not a king.

This might be the best post of the year! Like, broadcast on MSM (not happening). Everyone read through this.
Senator, I have to be honest. I laughed at this one. Not a polite chuckle. A real one. Because you, Elizabeth Warren, LITERALLY wrote the book on this. And I mean "literally" the way we used it when we were kids. As in actually. Physically. There is a book, and your name is on the cover. Not the way my students use it, where "literally" means "kind of, sort of, vibes." "The Two-Income Trap." 2003. Co-written with your own daughter. Your thesis? The single-breadwinner family was the SAFER family. The parent at home was the "reserve earner," the shock absorber who could step into the workforce when disaster hit. Your research found dual-income couples going bankrupt at higher rates, because the second paycheck got swallowed by fixed costs. Bigger mortgage. Second car. And (sit with this one, Senator) CHILDCARE. You wrote the warning label. Then you lost the bottle. A few fries short of a Happy Meal, that move. Now, the parts your post skipped: o Oklahoma: Oklahoma Human Services reported 166 programs closed since November, and 78 NEW ones opened in that same stretch. The "400+" was a TV news number the state's own agency never matched. Somebody's calculator is a few batteries short. o Indiana: The STATE froze new vouchers and cut payment rates when its own budget ran dry. Gov. Braun is now proposing $200 million to reopen it. That is Indianapolis. Not Washington. Geography, like economics, seems to be one brick shy of a load in your office. o The fraud-verification freeze you are hinting at hit five states. Oklahoma and Indiana were not on that list. Asking providers to prove the kids actually exist is not a wrecking ball. It is a roll call. So what DID hit both states? The same thing that hit everyone: temporary COVID money running out. Oklahoma providers lost their COVID-era funding this April, about $5 per child per day. And who voted for that temporary money, @SenWarren? You did. American Rescue Plan Act, 2021. Roughly $39 billion in child care cash with an expiration date stamped right on the side. You built a cliff, hung a "TEMPORARY" sign on it, and now act shocked that people fell off. The lights are on, but nobody is home. That is like marching into your boss's office: "Last December you gave me a $1,000 Christmas bonus. This month you didn't. Why did you cut my pay, you heartless monster?" Nobody cut your pay. The bonus ended. That is what "temporary" means. Look it up. I hear there are books. Not the sharpest crayon in the Senate box, but surely someone on staff owns a dictionary. Quinn's Law #1 in action: liberalism delivers the exact opposite of its stated intent. Flood providers with one-time money, they build payrolls around it, the money ends, the doors close. Then the same senator who wrote the check blames the guy who didn't print it. Her train of thought derailed somewhere before the station. What is next, Senator? A book warning that pushing two-income families into subsidized daycare makes them financially fragile? ...wait. I was just told you already wrote it. Twenty-three years ago. Apparently the memory is running on dial-up. And government-run childcare from birth? That checks off Goal #41 of the 45 Communist Goals read into the Congressional Record on January 10, 1963: "Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents." 2003 Warren argued the opposite. Honestly, 2003 Warren would have made a decent senator. Pity the hamster stopped running. So here is my question. Over a decade in the Senate, what have you done for families besides write checks with MY name on them and an expiration date attached? A handout with a cliff is not help. It is a leash. Dependency is not a bug in your party's design. It is the product. Two sandwiches short of a picnic would be generous here. But what do I know? I am only a science teacher who actually read your book, Senator. Somebody had to. @TPUSA @JoJoFromJerz @atrupar #MAGA #Veterans #Trump

Why am I not surprised Virginia is the second rudest state? And West Virginia is polite … of course. See a trend with many of the blue states.
