When I give my savings to @elonmusk they multiply. When I give them to you and all of the US government, they disappear.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

Congratulations @ElonMusk. Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire. He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth. He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world. Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:

I am all for consenting adults doing as they please - and treating everyone in our community with respect. But I really don’t get why Democrats insist things like this be hosted on public property meant for civic business and in front of kids, as today’s City Hall drag show was.

I ask the executives I work with when they last made a real friend. They get quiet. Almost without fail, the names they come up with are people they haven't seen in twenty years — old roommates, or people they knew before the striving started. That is the warning sign. And I recognize it, because it used to be me. At one point in my life, I was surrounded by people all day. My phone never stopped ringing. My calendar was packed. But I had never been lonelier. I would not have admitted it at the time. But if something truly hard had happened — the kind of thing you don't put in a meeting agenda — I'm not sure I would have known who to call. There is a lie strivers tell themselves about friendship, and the lie sounds reasonable: I'm in a sprint right now. There will be time for real friends later. I've heard versions of this from people in their twenties through their fifties. The essence never changes; only the "later" gets pushed further. But friendship doesn't work the way the striver imagines. The people who become your friends-for-life are the people you accumulate time with — through the moves, the boring Tuesdays, the bad years. You can't fast-forward to them. You can't acquire them at fifty-five the way you acquire a second home. The reason the names always come from college is that college was the last time friendship was the default mode of their lives. They were thrown together with people in proximity over years, with nothing competing for their attention. They didn't have to choose; the friendship happened on its own. After college, friendship stopped being free. It started costing time, and the deliberate decision to make somebody a priority. Most strivers stop paying that cost and then, decades later, wonder why the bench is empty. Friendship compounds, and so does its absence. Striving is a fine thing — I'm pro-striving. The mistake is treating friendship as something that sits outside the striving, a hobby for the off-hours. By the time the urgent work slows down, the people who would have become your friends-for-life have spent those decades becoming somebody else's. The friends you'll need at fifty-five are the people you are postponing this week. Do not wait for friendship to become convenient. Pick up the phone and make the plans now.

The Spurs know how to TAKE the lead, they just don't know how to HOLD the lead. And that's really the most important part of the lead: the holding

Every human being is worthy by the mere fact of having been willed, created, and loved by God. There is no situation that causes the Lord to turn His gaze away from us. It is a consoling truth that accompanies us at all times and reminds us that His merciful love always outweighs whatever good or evil we may have done. #ApostolicJourney vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Such a shame. I went to college in Los Angeles - and it’s a shell of a city it was then thanks to years of hard left leadership that appears here to stay.

The next time @TinaSmithMN lectures us about Donald Trump, just remember this.
Graham Platner is gonna win because he has connected with Mainers on what they really care about: How this country can work for them, not just the wealthy. He’ll win because he’s not part of the Washington establishment. If I voted in Maine he’d have my support, no question.

Minnesotans are fed up with seeing billions of our taxpayer dollars stolen while fraudsters get rich. Folks, the same career politicians who enabled years of fraud are not coming to save us. Even my opponents know I am the only candidate in this race who can win in November. alphanews.org/newly-released…

What I’m about to say should be said by the governor, the state attorney general, and the mayor of St. Paul, but they’ve created a crisis and remain silent. Minnesotans: please respect people’s right to peaceful religious gatherings. This goes for mosques, cathedrals, temples, and churches — every kind of person. Do not invade their place of worship, and do not harass people on their way to worship. Leave them alone.

Oh FFS. A city in a financial death spiral spends “$1.4 million for a range of services designed to help the council, mayor and his cabinet work better together.” 🤦

This seems like something Minnesotans might have questions about? 🦗 🦗
Platner is getting the Swalwell treatment for a reason. The call is coming from inside the house. The lobbyist-owned octogenarian DEM establishment is trying to strangle the upstart progressives / liberals. We’ll see if the lobbyists or the voters run their party.
