The biggest scam in life: Paying taxes on the money you make. Then paying taxes on the money you spend. And then also paying taxes on things you own, that you already paid taxes on with already taxed money.

Why I’m Backing President Trump As many press accounts have reported, I’m hosting a fundraising event for President Donald J. Trump at my home in San Francisco this evening. Over the last couple of years, I have hosted events for presidential candidates Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as several Congressional figures in both major parties. I give to many, but endorse few. But today I am giving my endorsement to our 45th President, Donald J. Trump, to be our 47th President. My reasons rest on four main issues that I think are vital to American prosperity, security, and stability – issues where the Biden administration has veered badly off course and where I believe President Trump can lead us back. 1. The Economy President Biden took over an economy that was already recovering strongly from the Covid-induced shock of Q2 2020. Demand had roared back, and employment had recovered. But he chose to keep priming the pump with unnecessary Covid stimulus – almost $2 trillion of it, passed on a straight party-line vote in March of 2021, with trillions more to follow for “infrastructure,” green energy, and “inflation reduction.” Biden did this despite early warnings from former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers that it could lead to inflation. When the inflation came, the Biden administration dismissed it as “transitory.” In fact, inflation still remains persistently high even after the fastest interest-rate tightening cycle in memory. As a result of Biden’s inflation, average Americans have lost roughly a fifth of their purchasing power over the last few years. Moreover, any American who needs a mortgage, car loan, or credit card debt faces much higher interest costs, which further constrain their purchasing power. It’s no different for our federal government, which now must devote over a trillion dollars annually to interest on its $34 trillion debt, a massive sum that’s been growing by a trillion dollars every hundred days. This trajectory is unsustainable, yet Biden’s 2025 budget calls for even higher spending. Growth has already slowed from 3.4 percent in the last quarter of 2023 to an anemic 1.3 percent in the first quarter of this year. We can’t afford another four years of Bidenomics. 2. Foreign Policy / Ukraine War President Trump left office with ISIS defeated, the Abraham Accords signed, and no new wars raging on the global stage. Three and a half years later, the world is on fire. President Biden has made several strategic choices that have contributed to this situation. In his first year in office, Biden unnecessarily alienated the Saudis before realizing that they are an indispensable partner in the Middle East. He also presided over a chaotic withdrawal of our troops from Afghanistan (right policy, abysmal execution). But his biggest blunder by far has been in Ukraine. His administration immediately began pushing for Ukraine’s admission to NATO, despite no unanimity among the existing NATO members that such a move was a good idea. When this predictably antagonized the Russians, the Biden administration doubled down at every turn, insisting that “NATO’s door is open, and will remain open” with respect to Ukraine. Biden himself baited Russia when he said he didn’t “accept anybody’s red lines.” After the invasion, there was still a chance to stop the war in its early weeks before much loss of life and destruction had occurred. Russian and Ukrainian negotiators had signed a draft agreement in Istanbul that would have seen Russia retreat to its pre-invasion borders in exchange for Ukrainian neutrality. But the Biden administration rejected that deal as well as General Milley’s advice to seek a diplomatic solution in November 2022. As the war of attrition grinds on, the Ukrainians face ever-mounting casualties and infrastructure damage. Still, President Biden keeps allowing the conflict to escalate and risk World War III. Every escalation that Biden initially resisted – Abrams tanks, F-16’s, ATACMs, allowing Ukraine to hit targets in Russia – he has eventually acquiesced to. There is just one more escalation to go: NATO troops on the ground fighting Russia directly. And our European allies like Emmanuel Macron are already spoiling for exactly this scenario. With Biden, our choices are limited to fighting the proxy war to the last Ukrainian, or fighting Russia ourselves. President Trump has said he wants the dying in Ukraine to stop, and that he will seek to end the war through a negotiated settlement. Ukraine will no longer be able to get the deal we talked them out of in April 2022, but we can still save Ukraine as an independent nation and avert world war. 3. The Border As an immigrant to the United States myself, I certainly believe in America’s history of strengthening its ranks by welcoming talented people from other nations seeking freedom and opportunity. But that promise requires an orderly process of legal immigration that emphasizes skills and the principles of American citizenship. This was the preferred policy under President Trump. What Biden ushered in was a de facto open border policy. On his first day in office, he repealed President Trump’s executive orders restricting illegal immigration and stopped construction of a border wall, selling off parts of it for scrap metal. This quickly resulted in a massive spike in illegal border crossings and a chaotic and dangerous situation on our southern border. President Biden (along with the hapless Kamala Harris and the malevolent Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas) responded to growing concerns by gaslighting the American public, saying there was no problem at the border despite constant videos of masses of people sprinting across it. When the situation became too dire to ignore or deny, Biden claimed he didn’t have the executive authority to do anything about it and blamed Republicans for not sending him legislation. But this week, facing abysmal polling numbers on this issue, Biden suddenly discovered he has executive authority after all. The order he signed is a tepid, too little-too late effort to slow the tidal wave of illegal immigration in time for the election. But Biden has shown he is not serious on this issue. If he wins a second term, the open border policy will resume, and tens of millions more illegals will stream across the border. 4. Lawfare A bedrock of the political stability we’ve enjoyed in America over the last 250 years is that we don’t accept attempts to jail political opponents in order to win an election. Yet Biden has pushed for selective and unprecedented prosecutions of his once and future opponent from the moment he assumed office. Merrick Garland took a long look at the January 6 situation and didn’t see a path to prosecute Trump, even after a one-sided Congressional committee sent a highly-prejudiced referral to his Justice Department. Press stories then appeared describing Biden’s frustration with Garland’s reticence. The result was Jack Smith at the federal level and Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis at the state level. All have pursued cases based on novel legal theories heretofore unseen and designed to get Trump. In the NY case, Bragg resurrected a dead book-keeping misdemeanor into 34 felonies by claiming it was in the service of a second crime that he never defined and that the judge never insisted the jury unanimously agree on. My immigration to this country as a young boy happened because my parents disagreed with the political system of their home country. That government sought to solve its political disagreements by imprisoning its political enemies. What a sad irony that the lawfare we escaped has now reared its ugly head in America of all places. President Biden keeps insisting that a return of President Trump to the White House threatens democracy. But his administration is the one that has colluded with tech platforms to censor the Internet, used the intelligence community to cover up his son Hunter’s laptop, and pursued elective prosecutions against his political opponents. Conclusion: The A/B Test The voters have experienced four years of President Trump and four years of President Biden. In tech, we call this an A/B test. With respect to economic policy, foreign policy, border policy, and legal fairness, Trump performed better. He is the President who deserves a second term.

Great piece here David. Logical and accurate in almost all of your analysis. While it impossible to please everyone, I believe the Ukraine situation to be an existential threat to our closest Allies in Europe and therefore to the free world. Biden has horribly bungled just about every decision he (or whoever is actually making these decisions) has made. It’s difficult to apply logic to an unrestrained madman (madmen in Putin and Xi) who possesses nuclear weapons and is hell-bent on achieving his illogical goals. No level of ‘negotiation’ could have dissuaded Hitler from invading Europe back in 1936. It’s widely known that if the allies attacked Hitler’s forces to repel his aggression in the Rhineland in 1936, he would have been easily defeated and suffered major setbacks in his planning (Hitler admitted to this himself in his diary). Despite Hitler showing the world exactly who he was and what his plans were, the hapless Chamberlain and Halifax continued to beg for meetings…and subsequently declared that they had saved the world from another World War with the signing of the Munich Agreement of 1938 (after Hitler had already taken the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia). The only thing the failed Munich Agreement achieved was to allow Hitler to retrench to continue his attack on Europe. The Munich Agreement failed in just 6 months time and is widely understood by historians to be a “failed act of appeasement” and has become a phrase that demonstrates the futility of the appeasement of madmen running totalitarian states. Putin and Xi’s ‘limitless partnership’ represents the Gathering Storm that will surely take our world into WW III…whether we appease or not. Trotsky’s famous quote is in play today: “You might not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.” I’ve spent the last three days in Normandy with our senior military leadership. I’ve had discussion after discussion around Russia and China. Not one of our senior military leaders wants war. They refer to the situation we find ourselves in as the most difficult, dangerous, and dire situation they have ever seen in their lifetime. Not one of these leaders wants a single American life to be lost…but make no mistake about it, they all know this war is coming. Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are all working together. Xi and Putin have publicly declared their partnership and subsequently ratified it. Putin will continue his aggression and I expect it to be somewhat simultaneous with Xi’s attacks of the Second Thomas Shoal in the Philippines before he attacks Taiwan. We must PLAY TO WIN…and not to simply stay in the game. Those that came before us fought and died for our freedom. We must do everything we can to protect that freedom from totalitarian madmen. The entire free world is at stake. Appeasing madmen…ceding Putin’s advances with ‘peace’ agreements…is not the path we should follow. We must make very difficult decisions today, Or more difficult decisions will be made for us in the future.

Thanks to @patbev21 last night for being great example for my boys. Standing court side pre game, he asked them if they knew the anthem. After they said yes, he said “well sing it because this is the greatest country in the world.” Then fist bumped them.
