“In the run up to the midterm elections, the Democrats accuse Donald Trump of broken promises. Among other examples, they cite rates of inflation that have wiped out wage gains. But the president kept his promise. A majority of voters wanted whiteness to be dominant again. That's what he's doing. The problem is that whiteness causes ruin, even for those who vote for it. You can't have one without the other, but they didn't believe it, because, to them, whiteness is prosperity. What they're mad about now is their own desire backfiring on them.”
Amazing statue that made of wood/plastic made to look like wood/least likely, rubber. Wildwood Saloon, give them money.

The failed intellectuals of the Claremont Institute, the Heritage Foundation and Hillsdale College, financed by plenty of Silicon Valley money, are in the midst, with Trump as their avatar, of a revolution intended not merely to get rid of NATO and free trade, but to reverse or undo every positive ethical feature of Western civilization since the 18th century. The rule of law at home, war constrained by the Geneva Convention, consent of the governed under a secular state, the emancipation of women, the abolition of torture, the amelioration of suffering through scientific application of medicine, the idea that society can and should improve the human condition rather than leave it to the will of a supernatural being — all these and more they seek to overturn to bring on the reign of a Dark Enlightenment.

At the time he was first elected to Congress in 2012, Mullin hosted House Talk, a home improvement radio program syndicated across Oklahoma, on Tulsa station KFAQ. When elected to Congress, Mullin owned Mullin Properties, Mullin Farms, and Mullin Services, in addition to Mullin Plumbing. In 2012, he reported between $200,000 and $2 million in income from two family companies, and another $15,000 to $50,000 from shares he held in a bank. At the end of 2021, Mullin's reported assets increased to in a range of $31.6 million to $75.6 million, compared to a range of $7.3 million to $29.9 million at the end of 2020. The increase was from the sale of his plumbing-related companies to HomeTown Services, a multi-state residential heating, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical company. Mullin said that the sale happened in early 2021, while Mullin was serving in the House of Representatives.

“Where Democrats count on A-list celebrities to chime in on politics every four years (even if just through stray social-media posts) Republicans have cultivated a small army of C- and D-list celebrities who make pro-Trump content approximately all the time. I suspect this contrast is structural: It’s hard to develop star-level talent if you’re hostile to strangers, minorities, and new experiences, but once you become a star, you face real disincentives against hyper-partisanship. Republicans thus have a difficult time nurturing real pop-culture icons, but an easy time recruiting Riley Gaineses to the cause.” “In tribute to her, we can call it the pool to posting pipeline. Republicans have it. Democrats don’t, really.”
