Why didn't his handlers find a shooter that could hit a target? -
Cheatle, 53, is the second woman to lead the presidential protection agency and secured the non-Senate-confirmed role in August 2022 after a three-year stint as senior director of global security at PepsiCo. How'd she do at Pepsi? Did she defend Pepsi machines or stop people from stealing cans of soda?

Yup, raising minimum wage too high won't get more people working. Going back on the gold standard would be massively deflationary and would cause a massive constriction of the economy. As to the lawn mowing, won't all the kids want riding mowers to make it easy, even if the lawn is the size of a postage stamp? That seems the case in most places these days. Seems funny, we are still focusing on Appalachian poor people, wasn't that what LBJ was trying to fix in Great Society? Sure worked, huh? Same as it ever was, and nothing but complaining from West Virginia and those places, like its all someone else's fault.

I'm not the one including Oswald in the Trump shooting! I suppose Alex Baldwin was there, too? -

There were cops inside the building while the shooter was on the roof? Strange -

Boy are you gullible! That kid's body was put up there way before the rally. Trump was never hit, he used a blood packet he smashed in his ear, and the shots that killed rally goers were fired from a second gunman (A Hillery plant) hidden in the trashy hole across the way -

Gee, I wonder why Trump passed over the guys with dark skin and picked the white guy who compared him to Hitler and said Trump voters were idiots. Gee, interesting question -
He wants to cut off immigration and raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour? https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/13/opinion/jd-vance-interview.html. It’s a classic formulation: You raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour, and you will sometimes hear libertarians say this is a bad thing. “Well, isn’t McDonald’s just going to replace some of the workers with kiosks?” That’s a good thing, because then the workers who are still there are going to make higher wages; the kiosks will perform a useful function; and that’s the kind of rising tide that actually lifts all boats. What is not good is you replace the McDonald’s worker from Middletown, Ohio, who makes $17 an hour with an immigrant who makes $15 an hour. And that is, I think, the main thrust of elite liberalism, whether people acknowledge it or not. Or the hotels example. If you cannot hire illegal migrants to staff your hotels, then you have to go to one of the seven million prime-age American men who are out of the labor force and find some way to re-engage them. It’s amazing: To this day, I hear from Republican donors, “Oh, I’ll support you because you’re Republican, but you’re not pro-business.” Well, what do you mean I’m not pro-business? I actually really agree with the classic libertarian critique of the regulatory regime. “But we can’t run our business unless we have some of these immigrants coming over, because we can’t find people who are going to do the job.” My response is that there are people who would do those jobs if the incentives were there.
