.@DanProft called it “a perplexing week with respect to Eastern Europe and President Trump’s posture.” He then read at length from columnist Conrad Black’s analysis defending Trump’s broader strategic logic. Proft then welcomed @DanDePetris, fellow at Defense Priorities and syndicated foreign affairs columnist for the Chicago Tribune and Newsweek, to assess Black’s framing.
Back in 2013, before he became California’s governor, Gavin Newsom candidly acknowledged the state’s tax problems at a cocktail party: “Our tax rates are not competitive. Period. That’s what you said.” @DanProft was joined by @JimIuorio, host of the Futures Edge podcast and contributor to Wirepoints, to discuss the fallout of the proposed California billionaire's tax, as well as United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby’s recent endorsement of a national wealth tax.
In a recent episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, host Alex Cooper interviewed actress @SophiaBush about leaving her marriage. @DanProft welcomed @KeenanPeachy, bestselling author of “Domestic Extremist: A Practical Guide to Winning the Culture War” and now “Super Villains,” to discuss what Keenan calls “divorce evangelists” in her new book.
The Chicago Bears beat the New England Patriots 30-24 on Thursday night. @DanProft welcomed former Bears quarterback @MikeTomczak, now a volunteer coach at Youngstown State, who attended the game in person during his team’s bye week.
.@jimiuorio is incredibly smart AND funny.

Listen to these two soulless DSA muppets many moons ago (Newsom in '13, Pritzker in '14) when they were pandering their way up the ranks posing as user-friendly, business-savvy sorts to gain the acceptance of C-suite dopes and voracious rent-seekers.
Now Newsom pushes a wealth tax while Pritzker pushes for a millionaire's surcharge after a failed attempt at graduating IL's state income tax and successfully raising five-dozen other state taxes and fees.
These two knobs preside over the two worst-governed states in the nation which earns them the right to be considered serious DSA candidates for POTUS.
They perfectly illustrate the sick joke that is the American Left.
RT @JeanneIves: Griffin knows for decades of experience with Marxists running Illinois.

NEW: Ken Griffin on Paris riots, Chicago and JB Pritzker
I think Paris should be a real wake up call to every single young American. France is the dream the left talks about. That dream is the nightmare I left from Chicago. That dream doesn’t belong in our country. A society that comes down to how much you can take from others.
Do you see candidates that you’re actually fearful that’s the path they’re going down:
J.B. Pritzker, Governor of Illinois. Yes, 100%. 100%
Ken Griffin on the rise of DSA, Paris riots and looting in Chicago
I'm not so worried about it. It's a New York, Illinois, Michigan, California bit of a bubble.
If you want to see where socialism leads to, look at France last weekend.
It's the socialist dream. The country spends 60% of GDP at the government level.
BTW Paris looked pretty damn similar to Chicago in 2021-22.
It’s a people… (that) are very willing to riot and protest anything. Is that really the future that the US might be looking at?
It’s the future. I lived in Chicago.
I could look out my window at the Dior store. They were very efficient.
We may be more efficient than the French, even at looting.

"Something changed here... Like one day we came home and the house had been rearranged while we were gone."
This is such a good spot. It speaks to people's common heritage, the reason they chose Minnesota, and the unspoken anxiety they feel about the state's direction but are equally uncomfortable in detailing the specifics.
The message is unmistakable: something has been taken from us (by the people in charge) and we need to take it back. And this is how you give people not necessarily affiliated with your party a safe place to land.
Well done.
🎬 "Home"
Minnesota is more than a place on a map.
Our money, our elections, our flag.
Our home. Minnesota.
