Government run amok.

Thomas Jefferson stayed in a boarding room. Rode a horse to the inaugural, speech, and rode back to the boarding room to find out he was too late for dinner.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “In my work with heads of state and foreign ministers, I am frequently hosted in reception facilities that are visually impressive and reflective of the wealth and beauty of the nations I am visiting. In the United States, by contrast, we currently lack the ability to hold large events of a similar magnitude on White House grounds for those same heads of state and foreign dignitaries. Instead, we must currently host such visits in plastic or canvas tents on the South Lawn with unsafe and unsanitary portable bathrooms and accommodations unbecoming of our national stature…Our foreign counterparts offer premier security arrangements for United States officials. It is imperative that we not only offer the same level of elite security services, but offer the world’s leading capabilities in an efficient manner on grounds over which we exert permanent control…We must obviously seek every reasonable means to mitigate both the more predictable risks, including weather and physical incursions, but also emerging threats…The East Wing Project is essential to that defensive security posture. The Project is absolutely critical not only for the physical safety of guests, but also for advancing our diplomatic relations and the interests and standing of the United States in the world.”

I have been keeping a close eye on the Michigan Senate race, and the sheer level of hypocrisy in mainstream political reporting is unbelievable.

I supported Mallory early on, but after she dropped out, I did not donate to either campaign. I still respected Haley for her work alongside the Obama administration to help bail out our auto industry, but her total reliance on AIPAC money and her refusal to take a stand against unconditional foreign aid was a dealbreaker for me, especially with everything happening in Gaza and the escalating conflict with Iran.

That led me to take a real look at Abdul, and the way the media smeared him is absurd. In one breath, commentators call him an Islamist extremist, and in the next, they call him a communist. You cannot be a religious fundamentalist and an atheist communist at the same time. They are just throwing contradictory scare words at the wall to see what sticks.

Abdul has explicitly stated he is a capitalist who supports strong social safety nets, which happens to be exactly what I believe in. When critics call him anti-Israel for wanting to cut off foreign aid, they conveniently ignore that he wants to cut off military aid to Egypt as well, which is the country of his own ancestors. His position is not about targeting one Country. He simply believes we should not be spending billions of American taxpayer dollars to bankroll foreign governments, including 1.3 billion dollars to Egypt and 1.45 billion dollars to Jordan, just to fuel endless Middle Eastern wars.

It is embarrassing how long it took me to see past the noise, but Abdul is actually standing up for working people over special interests. He has my full support now, and I am definitely sending donations his way.

It's also very good that in Minnesota the my pillow guy lost bigly.

Although I don't expect him to ever concede
