If you count payroll taxes as income taxes, you must count SS benefits as income tax credits. @gabriel_zucman

The affordability comparison is clear: Under Biden, real wages fell nearly 4%. Under President Trump, real wages are up 1.2%. Americans are once again seeing real wage growth.

Americans now pay more in taxes than they spend on food, clothing, and shelter combined. Think about that. Government has become so big and bloated that taxes cost more than life's basic necessities. Every American taxpayer should be outraged.

This sent a genuine chill through me. It’s been far too long since anyone channelled the unflinching spirit of Christopher Hitchens - his moral clarity, his refusal to flinch in defence of the West, and his readiness to articulate the irreconcilable aspects of Islamic culture. Bravo @LozzaFox
🚨You can feel the entire room tense the second Laurence Fox says he’s about to show a drawing of Mohammed. The Oxford Union goes dead quiet. People start interrupting. Someone’s already reaching for the rules. You can hear the intake of breath. They’re not just uncomfortable… they’re scared.

The play "Hiroshima", a tribute to the victims of the first atomic bomb, with music and singing by Yoko Ono, opened in New York City this week. One tearful Japanese survivor of the attack, who attended the premiere, called the play, quote, "the most horrifying experience of my life."

Replying to @EricLDaugh
Average home price in Springfield Ohio in 2022: $140,000 2026: $220,000 Average rent per month: 2022: $865 2026: $1,245 More than 2/3 Haitians are on some sort of welfare. Americans in need waiting in line behind foreign nationals. Car accidents and deaths due to lack of English and driving skills. Flooding a small community in Ohio with third world economic migrants, who mostly came here from South America, is next level insanity. Congress has spoken. The President has spoken. The Supreme Court has spoken. Enough.

No I did not. I used Wyoming as an example of small states being protected. It is why small pop states joined the union in 1789.
