Two interesting things I'm bringing to No Kings protests tomorrow:
1. Fifty little American flags. These were were a big hit last time. I easily gave them all away.

2. A Gadsden Flag. This may be our finest piece of national iconography against infringement on liberty.

People who think America is a global loser are just addicted to feeling like victims.

We have the highest average and median income in the world (basically).

We mostly get richer every single year.

Probably approaching 1,000 people in otherwise quiet NYC suburbs today for #HandsOff, braving rain and 50 degree temps.
