“It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them,” Sanders said in a statement Wednesday. “First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they’re right.”

We used to have a system where each state has their own currency. It was an absolute disaster. It was chaotic. Prices would randomly fluctuate for no reason other than market manipulation. You would get paid in Pennsylvania money, then go and try to buy something in South Carolina and find out your money was worthless — holding the bag if you will. There was a time when the US didn’t have a strong dollar. People thought we wouldn’t pay our debts, we couldn’t finance the building of factories and railroads. We couldn’t build infrastructure. We need a strong dollar. People are getting scammed left and right by Crypto. Silicon Valley elites want to manipulate people by dangling fake money in front of them. They not-so-secretly want to control currency so they can control the economy. They want to use crypto as a foothold to take over. Covert agencies use crypto to meddle in other countries, to secretly finance drug deals and arms deals. Criminals use it for hush money. They are trying to make everyone use crypto so that they can pry into every transaction and every moment of our lives. Crypto is a fraud. Prices surge when consumers buy and drop precipitously when consumers sell because of market manipulation from the Silicon Valley elites. Fight back! Ban crypto.

We are losing high-paying jobs, our supply chains are vulnerable and uncertain, our prices for electronic goods are high, because there is a geographic monopoly on the production of computer chips in China’s backyard. Our military is vulnerable and our economy is under attack — just look at the prices of cars, especially in emergency situations like following the pandemic — because we have no control over the production of computer chips, which many say are the most important product of the economy. Computer chips hold the key to making smartphones, cars, tractors, TVs, and now AI. They are essential for the military and essential for the economy. Making computer chips takes a lot of high-paying jobs too, up and down the value chain. We have previously conceded making computer chips. We are fighting back now with the CHIPS act, and we need to keep fighting to bring back manufacturing jobs, strengthen our economy and strengthen our military.

I get tired of the people who keep proclaiming… my name is this! My name is that! I’ve feeling today like I have this name! What the heck does that even mean… your name depends on your mood that day? These people are deliberately obfuscating who they are. This is mostly an annoying problem that the rest of us have to deal with, but the government and elected officials shouldn’t be encouraging it. Criminals are the ones who have aliases and fake names and all that. Normal people don’t need that. Change your name once, maybe, when you get married. By your third or fourth marriage, maybe just keep it the same for the sake of the rest of us. I get that some names like Drumpf might seem un-American, but I promise you, you are just as American as the rest of us. Changing it to Trump doesn’t make you more American. Be at peace with yourself. Changing your name from James Donald Bowman to James David Bowman to James David Bowman to James David Hamel to J.D. Hamel to J.D Vance reeks of insecurity. There are probably great reasons for each one and I sympathize, I really do. I really do. But that should be a personal thing. Don’t drag the government into it.

Get the people who snuck in out and get the people who lied to get in out! It’s that simple. No sneaking in. No lying to get in. We don’t want you, and that’s not the way to immigrate to America. Some people might accuse this policy of being unempathetic. I do feel bad for some people who will get caught up in this — maybe we’ll make an exception, maybe we won’t. But this should be what the policy. The firm policy. So many rules are firmly held against Americans, cutting us off from benefits and holding us back for missing a day on a deadline or not filling out some form. We need to hold the line at the border too. I do feel bad for people like potential asylum-seeker or Elon Musk or Melania Trump who made a small mistake decades ago, a small lie maybe it was a deliberate lie, a lie by omission, or an inadvertent lie, but a lie nonetheless, that would be caught up by this firm policy. We might be lenient and allow them to pay a very very large fine to stay — given that it was so long ago and given the work they’ve done for the community — or maybe we’ll deport them. Case-by-case basis.

Obviously, we will still have the pronouns he, his, she and her. And, when someone tells you they are having a baby, it’s ok to say “Congratulations! When are they due?” And, when you are asking for your waiter and they have short-cropped hair with earrings and it’s dark, it’s ok to say “Could you please get them for me?” But, what is not ok is for the government and the elites to say that everyone had to write (he/him) or (she/her) on your name tag just so that the one out of a thousand person can write (they/them) or worse (Ze/Zim) — what the heck is that! Fine, ok, if you tell me it’s actually “he” and not “she”, I can deal with that — fine, I made a mistake. But I’m not going to call you “ze”. That’s just crazy. What’s also crazy is the mind control police who think that they can make me waste half-an-hour a day saying “I take he/him pronouns” over and over again.

The government should not pay for gender affirming care and should not be policing pronouns. If you want to go and put on a dress, mom jeans, flannel or earrings. Go for it! JD Vance did. He still wears eyeliner. You don't see us persecuting him for that. Trump probably spends more money on his bronzer than any woman on makeup in America. That's fine! It's legal already and it should stay that way. The government should not be in your bedroom or your bathroom. But the government should also not be paying for surgeries to turn private parts inside out, do that on your own dime!

You would think with AI-coding Nate Silver would be able to code a real-time election model.
