Guys, I don’t know how else to explain this, but: when Democrats talked about affordability, they meant for their preferred constituent groups (criminals, welfare recipients, and illegal aliens).
Not you.

Two months ago, this same activist went to a city council meeting to push for a roof-repair fund so taxpayers could fix her roof. A Democratic lawmaker was like...with what money? You blocked the data center.
Decline really is a choice sometimes.

Minnesota Governor elect, Amy Klobuchar, says "the gun safety bill is going to get passed."
What's in the bill she's referencing?
-semi auto rifle bans
-normal capacity magazine bans (includes handguns)
-ban on self made firearms they call "ghost guns"
The state House and Senate are controlled by the dems so there will be no opposition to the bill and members of the state legislature will likely add more unconstitutional policies to the bill before the final draft is signed into law.
As a reminder - everyone who signs bills like this is committing a felony under federal law and should be arrested and tried by the DOJ. Bills like this are quite literally why the law exists; it's beyond time to use it.
Plan accordingly...
"TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death."

An 18% flat tax would produce the same tax revenue, if anyone is interested in everyone paying their fair share.
THE IRS JUST RELEASED THE NEW 2027 🇺🇸 TAX BRACKETS. HERE'S HOW THEY WORK IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Every bracket got a little bigger to keep up with inflation, so you can earn a bit more before moving into a higher rate.
Step 1: Take what you earn and subtract the standard deduction. That part isn't taxed at all.
- Single: $16,600
- Married: $33,200
Step 2: Whatever's left gets taxed in layers.
Single filers:
- 10% on your first $12,800
- 12% on income up to $52,025
- 22% up to $109,125
- 24% up to $208,325
- 32% up to $264,550
- 35% up to $661,375
- 37% on anything above that
Married couples: the cutoffs are roughly double ($25,600, $104,050, $218,250, $416,650, $529,100, $793,650).
Example: You're single and earn $76,600. Subtract $16,600 and you're taxed on $60,000.
- 10% on the first $12,800 = $1,280
- 12% on the next $39,225 = $4,707
- 22% on the last $7,975 = $1,755
Total: about $7,742 in federal income tax, or roughly 10% of what you earned.
Even though you're "in" the 22% bracket, only your last $7,975 gets taxed at 22%.

Would you cut taxpayer-funded salaries for unnecessary school administrators if it meant every kid in public school got free breakfast and lunch, no matter how much their parents make?

Give Michigan State full credit tonight. They’re extremely banged up. Playing guys who really shouldn’t even be on the field. They’re lining up and beating the hell out of Michigan. Just bullying them on both sides. Michigan should be completely embarrassed.

Caleb Hammer catches a socialist spending at Disney and Amazon after she spent the entire episode dunking on “big evil” CAPITALISTS.
She had just argued that corporations don’t pay their fair share.
Then he opens her City Card, and it gets ugly for her fast.
HAMMER: “Since your Disney trip, you know they’re a billion-dollar company. You know they get lots of tax benefits, right?”
SOCIALIST: “Yeah. My sister works for Disney.”
HAMMER: “Big evil capitalist Disney. Was that to Disney?”
SOCIALIST: “Yes.”
HAMMER: “Champagne socialist. As always.”
“You know you people are the most hypocritical people. I’d say people on the far right are really annoying. The people on the far left are hyper hyper hypocritical.”
“Evil corporations capitalist, and then you just give them all your money.”
“And Amazon, weren’t you just hating on that warehouse that delivered that to you?”
SOCIALIST: “Yeah.”
HAMMER: “It’s a shame they’re able to get there on that two-lane road to your house.”
SOCIALIST: “I don’t shop on Amazon very often. But if I do it’s—”
HAMMER: “Who cares?”
SOCIALIST: “I can’t find it around me.”
HAMMER: “No, live your principles. You’re cheap principles. I have no real moral backing other than performative and virtue signaling.”
Socialism in the mouth, capitalism in the cart.

He will not be taking requests.
He will be taking more yarn, though. 🧶 @HarmeetKDhillon

Here's some fuel for all the Europoor haters:
Germany just told us we'd have to fire one of our 3 founders to qualify for funding.
I was in talks with a German state-backed fund of fund managing billions, with one single mandate: invest in German funds to drive innovation and economic growth in the country.
They literally told me they like us a lot and are also impressed by our track record and performance so far, and even though not everyone in their team is a fan of our thesis, they believe in it.
But they passed for a whole different reason:
Because our all-male team of 3 people isn't "diverse enough" lol.
they literally told me: hire two more female partners (impossible on the economics of a fund our size), or let one of the three of us go to make room for a quota hire. do that, and they'd strongly consider investing.
I won't even get into how discriminatory this is toward men in the first place. nobody takes that seriously anyway, and honestly I don't care.
but what actually gets me is something bigger: as a German, I have to face the fact that the whole world continuing to laugh at Germany and overall Europe is completely justified.
a system that quietly kills the smallest, hungriest teams, the exact ones this money was created to support. and then everyone acts surprised that talent and capital keep leaving the country.

I'm a landlord, and I hate bad landlords as much as the next guy,(honestly probably MORE, because slumlords give the rest of us a bad name)...
But what St. Paul Voters just passed Tuesday night is completely NUTS.
Nearly 80% of St. Paul Voters,(92,045 to 24,469) just passed Question 1, the so-called "Right to Repair" ordinance.
Here is what they actually just voted into law:
A tenant sends a written repair notice. If the landlord doesn't have it scheduled or fixed within 14 days, the tenant can do "simple" repairs THEMSELVES,(or hire someone on their own) and deduct up to $500 or HALF a month's rent,(whichever is higher) straight off the rent check.
Think about how insane that is in the real world...
Over HALF of St. Paul's housing stock is ~100 years old. Good luck getting a specialty part or a licensed plumber/boiler tech out on a 100-year-old St. Paul duplex inside 14 days in the dead of a Minnesota winter. Now picture a tenant deciding to DIY the plumbing or electrical themselves and handing you a receipt and half a rent check... 🤦♂️
And here's the kicker: this measure was SO unworkable that even the St. Paul City Council voted in August to keep it OFF the ballot,(activist groups had to sue all the way to the Minnesota Supreme Court just to force it on). When an idea is too radical for the St. Paul City Council, that should tell you everything!
Look, nobody defends actual slumlords. Minnesota ALREADY has strict habitability laws, city housing inspectors, and rent-escrow courts where bad landlords get hammered legally.
Remember 2021 when St. Paul Voters passed the strictest Rent Control in the country because the ballot language sounded nice...new apartment permits crashed ~80% overnight while developers fled across the river, and the City spent years trying to walk back the damage?
Watch what happens next here:
Mom-and-pop landlords who own a duplex or a 4-plex aren't going to deal with DIY tenant "repairs," liability nightmares, and half-checks every month. They're going to sell out to giant corporate landlords with legal departments on retainer,(or pull those units off the rental market completely).
Fewer rentals, higher insurance, bigger corporate landlords, and EVEN HIGHER rent for the exact tenants who just voted 79% Yes for it.
Every single time...if only there was a way to see this coming.
