Let’s redefine the future of media in America, together.
The problem with Social Security isn't "fraud."
The problem with Social Security is that as the rich have gotten richer, more of their income has escaped the cap on the SS payroll tax.
In fact, millionaires stop paying SS taxes today.
We can fix this by scrapping the cap.

Hey guys. Sorry if you got a notification I had a video up. I opened a blaster of illusions and I somehow recorded it in slow motion making an 8 minute video 49 mins. I feel dumb. I’ll post “my hits” as soon as my daughter wraps up her basketball season. They are currently 0-7. Will they win the final game? I’m taking action on the game now. I’ll have a pod up later for my payers.
Much to the chagrin of his political opponents, Trump a/k/a the “Existential Threat to Democracy” is off to an astonishingly fast start, perhaps too fast. He is delivering on several of his promises, to wit":
Mass Migration- this problem is down to barely a trickle, off some 90% from what we had under the Biden administration, and what Europe continues to endure.
Identity politics- substantial steps have been made to dismantle DEI protocols, which sowed division while failing to sow any objective gains or betterment to businesses or to education. Title IX has been protected for women/girls sports. We again have two biological sexes, not born as one sex but believe I am another, or both.
Government waste, fraud and excess-true, paring federal payrolls is a small part of the DOGE effort. But it has already ferreted out large contracts that are highly suspicious. One example is the $2 billion granted to a new NGO/entity formed by prominent Democrat Stacey Abrams and some associates. Also, several highly suspect contracts for NGOs were being passed through USAID.
Inflation/economics- six weeks is far to short a period. But regulations have been slashed, permitting is easier, oil leases will open up again, taxes will stay lowered, and spending will decrease moderately. But tariffs are a wild card. Hopefully, they will be lifted before a real trade war ensues, which will turn the worldwide economy upside down.
End the Wars. In the Israel/Hamas conflict, there has been some movement, but so long as Hamas wants Israel wiped off the earth, there will be no peace here. Trump had a not-so-crazy idea of getting a lot of money together and rebuilding Gaza into a real resort and center for tourism and business opportunities. It’s at least a ten year project, and Gazans will be displaced for sure. But most young Gazans want out, they want to be in the USA or Europe, and we should accommodate that desire.
Ukraine will be resolved sooner rather than later. Zelenskyy can read the writing on the wall, and I do not believe Trump will sell out Ukraine-we shall see. The rare earth mineral partnership is an interesting idea, as it will bring in American businesses and tech companies in need of these minerals, and give the USA a real presence in Ukraine-something Putin must be willing to swallow. Since Russia occupies 40% of the Ukraine land holding the minerals, he will need to make some real concessions.

Biden may have been old but he surrounded himself with pros and experts.

Anyone with half a brain flees from Trump.
In Trump’s Administration you have nothing to fear from the law. He has placed Americans who are loyal to him first into key positions in the FBI and other law-enforcement agencies.

Recently, I've been literally told that I'm essentially "the enemy" if I don't agree with a particular stance and that no further conversation between us is possible. Then the person stopped talking to me and unfollowed. This was 'free speech' type person who now has a government role.
I can't begin to count the number of people who claimed people were being intolerant towards them who then, once they had a bit of power, turned around and shut down anyone who disagreed with them. This isn't an ideological problem. This is a human nature problem.
