NFL Socialism

 It's remarkable that so many people are upset that a professional sports league tried to make a few extra bucks by putting a playoff football game on a paid streaming service. People are so used to the NFL Socialism that's been given to them on network tv they became outraged and rather unhinged to have to pay for a game, one game. Anyway here's to you Kansas City. MO for not giving up on another socialist gift! 

Anyone there?

 Are there any Americans left in the Republican party? Need 5-10 reps in Congress to stand up for America and say vote in a reasonable Republican Speaker or say hello to Speaker Hakeem Jeffries. That group would hold more power than any of these crazies that are stalling everything. Congress needs to get back to work! 

We the People

 I read on X/Twitter today a Republican person saying that the Republicans cannot govern. This is true. They do not want to govern because they do not believe in government. Trump was the epitome of this message. Regardless the Republicans belong as the minority keeping check on the Democrats. The Democrats need to be the adults in the room and work with the Republicans on key issues, whether that be taxes, the border and so on. The key is having a party in control that can keep control of the institutions and guide the country. Both parties have good ideas and if they could only work together instead of acting like enemies the whole country would be so much better off. I understand it's wishful thinking but the people can decide. The people have the power to come together and force action when there is none. It's up to We the People.

The Missouri hypocrisy

    Politicians in MO are typically Republican and talk about deregulation, a hands off approach to business. But in the latest example of hypocrisy some state politicians are "pressuring" Tyson foods on a plant closing. Instead of simply closing the plant, like Tyson wants to do, the politicians are pushing Tyson to sell it.  

    Previous to this stunt a few years back the state held an election wherein voters statewide decided to increase animal protections. However after the "election" the state legislature thought they knew best and the citizens were stupid so the legislature overturned the election results and allowed continued abuse of animals in the state.

Republican Congress day 1

 Here is a list of all the things the Republicans got done on their first day in control of Congress: 

Elon Musk

 It's interesting to see that when people are affected personally then things change. Take Elon for example. He bought Twitter with big claims of free speech but all the sudden people are getting banned. Specifically the young guy that posts about Elon's private jet. News reports have said Elon posted on Twitter previously that he was concerned about his security but he would not ban that person from the platform. Now all the sudden this person is banned and news headlines today indicate Elon is taking "legal action" against the guy. So much for freedom and free speech.
