Free speech is the ability to say what you want without getting arrested. Free speech is not the ability to say what you want without having consequences.

Well Good evening @TractorSupply @hallawton We are disappointed and actually darned mad. There is zero reason any of these positions cannot be filled with American workers. NONE.

◾️Key notes: ⚡️Trump's first presidency recorded by far the lowest full-term real (inflation-adjusted) prices at the pump. ⚡️Obama era saw the highest real (inflation-adjusted) prices, driven largely by 2011–2012 spikes. Trump’s first term had the lowest real average in this period. ⚡️Biden’s nominal prices were the highest, but once adjusted for inflation, they fall below Obama-era levels. ⚡️Early 2000s nominal prices under Bush appear low but were more moderate after inflation adjustment.

🚨In response to the list below from @stats_feed, I've put together an analysis of the same annual gasoline prices adjusted for inflation. Let's also take a look at the average gasoline price at the pump during each 21st century presidency in real 2025 dollars. Should be fun...
⛽ U.S. gasoline prices by year (average price of regular, per gallon) 🇺🇸 2000 - $1.51 2001 - $1.46 2002 - $1.36 2003 - $1.59 2004 - $1.88 2005 - $2.30 2006 - $2.59 2007 - $2.80 2008 - $3.27 2009 - $2.35 2010 - $2.78 2011 - $3.53 2012 - $3.64 2013 - $3.51 2014 - $3.36 2015 - $2.43 2016 - $2.14 2017 - $2.42 2018 - $2.72 2019 - $2.60 2020 - $2.17 2021 - $3.01 2022 - $3.95 2023 - $3.52 2024 - $3.30 2025 - $3.10 2026 - ?

This poor guy is pathetic and so is every single person who hit the like button.
I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die. And there is now a trillionaire.

Proof that our educational system is in shambles.

This guy can’t really believe this.
If you're unironically calling Graham Platner a Nazi, you're not a serious person. He's a doofus who got drunk with his military unit overseas, they all got a tattoo, he later learned it was an obscure Nazi symbol and he stupidly kept it anyway because he thought it looked cool.

A college health center is not a general public concern…like a public road or a public dam would be. The general public can’t use that college clinic and could care less s out it. They should not able to do this!!

The question is not whether these cameras can sometimes help police. The question is whether the government should track everyone’s movements just in case they might want to search them later. That answer should be easy. #DeFlock #Privacy #Flock styleweekly.com/its-time-to-…

Her hot take is that women who kill their babies will kill them anyway they can. Sick.

Hot take but we literally tried to warn you that this is what happens when abortion access isn’t accessible.

🚨The US Forest Service plans to spray up to 75,000 Acres in the Lake Tahoe area with glyphosate, including campgrounds, trailheads and ski areas. They are doing so to purportedly accelerate wildfire recovery. The reality is that they are killing deciduous trees, native shrubs, flowering plants, and anything that competes with the commercially attractive conifer trees used by the timber industry. Additionally, the suggested benefits of spraying glyphosate for wildfire prevention can be achieved through other, non-chemical methods that don’t kill entire ecosystems. We need your help. Please call all of these offices and tell them why you do not want glyphosate sprayed. Leave a message if they don’t pick up. TRPA (775) 588-4547 Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit 530-543-2600 Tahoe National Forest 530-265-4531 (Option 0) Plumas National Forest 530-283-2050 Lassen National Forest 530-257-2151 Eldorado National Forest (530) 622-5061 A sample script: I am calling because I do not want glyphosate or any herbicide used in the forest. There are other ways to manage forest regrowth and fire prevention that do not involve carcinogenic chemicals that will contaminate the entire area and kill ecosystems. This plan to spray is unacceptable.

This is the way Democrats become billionaires.
There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars: 1) Profiting from a monopoly 2) Insider-trading 3) Political payoffs 4) Fraud 5) Inheritance Don’t believe the self-made myth.
Community note
Research shows most billionaires accumulated wealth by founding and building successful companies. A University of Chicago study found 69% of the 2011 Forbes 400 started their own businesses. chicagobooth.edu/review/billion… heritage.org/taxes/report/t…

My experience has been that community college professors are better than university professors. Anyone else have the same experience?

One Law That Would Change Everything: No State Benefits or In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens. Ban all state-funded benefits, driver’s licenses, in-state tuition, and healthcare for anyone without legal status. This removes the parallel system that makes illegal presence more comfortable than following the legal immigration process. American citizens and legal immigrants would no longer be forced to subsidize rule-breakers. Quote or repost your observation. Comment below if you know another chapter like this.

There are approximately 400,000 births a year in California. One quarter is 100,000. The cheapest box of 100 diapers at Walmart (retail) is $20. Four boxes is $80 or $8 million. Baby2Baby isn’t paying retail. 50-100% mark up is $6 million or $4 million. The difference of $2-3.5 million goes to “operations.” Minimum 50% recovery rate. Baby2Baby’s revenue, expenses, and liabilities spike in election years. Its board are Hollywood actresses, many with connections to Gavin Newsom. This is at best a mutually supportive fundraising organization for “pink issues.”Same social circles. California shouldn’t have a 10% stake in any “non-profit.”
California families welcoming newborns will soon receive hundreds of free diapers before leaving the hospital under a first-in-the-nation program Gov. Newsom is announcing Friday in San Francisco. In the program’s first year, it will be offered at about 65 to 75 hospitals that handle about a quarter of births in the state and largely serve low-income patients, but it will then expand. abc7news.com/19064053/
