"In three decades working for Rush Limbaugh, I'd never heard him smash-mouth a caller like that." from my piece in the @Jerusalem_Post over 3 years ago:
Rush Limbaugh’s love of Israel continues to inspire jpost.com/christianworld/art…

Galitzine, and half Greek -- which is STILL more than the entire Nolan bastardization of The Odyssey.
Nicholas Galitzin, a Greek American is playing He-Man, but Christopher Nolan couldn't find a single Greek to play Greek heroes in Odyssey 🤣

Everyone in America try haggis and we're even.

Every Scottish person in America needs to immediately try Chicken Fried Steak, and you’ll realise we and the Americans are kindred spirits

Did any of the 9/11 hijackers have violent felony convictions?
Asking for 2,977 friends.
Only 3% of individuals detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the first 14 months of the second Trump administration had a violent felony conviction, according to an ABC News analysis of government data. abcnews.link/PbkSs1W

Forcibly? No. But I do know something that forcibly takes over 50% of what hard-working people produce, leveraged debt, spends it ineffectively, and does dumb things.
It rhymes with Bloverment.

The thing that winds me up is how Elon has a trillion because he’s set up a system where he forcibly takes 40% of what hard working people produce, leverages it up as debt, spends it ineffectively and does dumb things to win the votes of millions of people who’ve become dependent on his handouts.

Tell me you don’t know what “qualified” means without telling… Eh. Forget it. That’s hack phrasing like this post.

A FIFA World Cup host country must guarantee two fundamental principles: the safety of the country — and the unrestricted entry of all qualified teams, officials and referees. The case of referee Omar Artan from Somalia is against one of these obligations. FIFA must never compromise the universality of football. #Fifa #Somalia #GianniInfantino #CAF #OmarAtan #DonaldTrump

Ro Khanna is worth almost a quarter of a billion dollars. With just five percent of that, I could do a lot of things I want to do and do a lot of good. Of course, if the poore take from him, that'd be a mugging. If Congress takes it, that's "investment."
Brad, a 5% tax on Elon's trillion net worth would literally pay for free college and trade school for every American.
And with the market's growth, he still would be worth over a trillion dollars!
You don't think that's worth it?
Community note
5% of $1.2T is $60b. 8m students in BA/BS programs on average pay over $20k/yr, or ~$160b/yr for BA/BS degrees only.
That tax could not cover even half of only US bachelor degree costs for just 1 year, excluding grad, ass., or trade degrees totaling another ~10m students.

"Just" 80%. I'm sure ol' Henrick here has a lot more money that the average bear. Give me 80% of that and let's see how it works out. Be an example. Let the change start with you and let other people spend money better than you do by selfishly holding onto it.

Elon Musk is about to become a trillionaire
If he agreed to pay just 80% of that as a wealth tax to the EU, the EU government could use its efficient operating experience to fund bicycles with solar panels attached to them for over 40 residents of the Netherlands
Elon is being selfish by not paying the wealth tax

SG-1 actor Michael Shanks urges fans to participate in a tweet storm to Save Stargate today:
"It starts at 1pm West Coast time, and all who participate should use the hashtag #SaveStargate."
Are you doing your part?

Exactly how many letters do I have to write @MrT to get him to bring back his cereal?
Well, it’s not 172. That I can tell you. I’ll give 173 a shot and maybe that’ll do the trick.

You can really tell something about people and Office when they start insulting voters as soon as they’re not standing for reelection anymore.

You’re a very, very, very rich head of state. Cut some checks. Bring in some refugees. Instead, the Vatican is such a strict autocracy, they arrested SNL comic Dan Novello because of his Father Guido Sarducci, saying it was … illegal.

The drama of migration must serve as an appeal to the conscience of the nations of origin of the migrants, which must establish conditions for peace, justice and development. It is also an appeal to the conscience of the transit nations, which are called to protect the vulnerable and not leave them in the hands of criminal networks. It is likewise an appeal to the conscience of Europe, which cannot claim to uphold human dignity while growing accustomed to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic becoming unmarked graves, as well as that of the international community, which is called to effective and persevering cooperation. #ApostolicJourney vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Thessaloniki is the Mother of Israel.
Everyone I’ve met in Greece so far..
Them: “Where are you from?”
Me: “I live in America”
Them: “But where are you REALLY from?”
Me: “Israel, I was born in Jerusalem”
Them: “Shalom! Welcome to Greece!”
All the people we’ve met have shown nothing but kindness.

I guess all the Europeans were right. Since @ElonMusk bought Twitter, it’s full of Nazis.
Susan Collins is spineless and corrupt.
And in 145 days, we will defeat her.

Alarming? It’s not a sport America cares about. We have other sports. America doesn’t care about the Vegas Golden Jacks and Carolina Panthers playing for the Stanley Cup right now. (I’d like to know what percentage of people in Europe know if those names are real or fake.)

Next up, the campaign to send the old man socks. It seems that no matter how many he buys, he never has any.

Thanks to all you lovely well-wishers. You put a spring in an old man’s step.
