When the government tries to address too many issues at once—much like a holistic approach—it can end up being ineffective at solving any particular problem. This is a common critique of large, all-encompassing government interventions: the broader and more diffuse the focus, the more difficult it becomes to implement effective solutions.

Here’s how trying to do everything often results in doing nothing well:

1. Diluted Resources and Focus:

2. Bureaucratic Inefficiency:

3. One-Size-Fits-All Solutions Fall Flat:

4. Lack of Accountability:

5. Crowding Out Private and Local Initiatives:

A Targeted Approach Gets Results:

Conclusion:

When the government tries to do everything, it often ends up doing very little effectively. Holistic approaches that spread resources across multiple issues can lead to dilution of focus, inefficiency, and bureaucratic bloat. In contrast, targeted solutions concentrate efforts on solving specific problems, leading to more efficient use of resources, better accountability, and greater flexibility to adapt to local conditions.

By focusing on a targeted approach—whether it's through tax cuts, deregulation, or specific economic incentives—the government can make a tangible impact in areas where it matters most, without overwhelming itself with trying to solve every problem all at once.

Harris has championed policies that prioritize fairness and accountability, two principles that are deeply intertwined with the IRS’s mission. The addition of 87,000 IRS agents ensures that the agency can properly audit and enforce tax laws on high-income earners who have been skirting their obligations for years. This bolstered workforce should work wonders for closing the tax gap, where trillions of unrealized dollars go uncollected due to lax enforcement, mainly benefiting the rich. A Harris-backed IRS is more likely to focus on restoring the integrity and respect of the tax system and ensuring that tax laws are enforced obediently and equitably.

For progressives and socialists, Harris’s commitment to expanding the IRS isn't just a technical solution—it's a bold step toward reducing wealth inequality by reducing wealth. By endorsing Harris, the IRS signals its dedication to building a more equitable society where the wealthy pay their fair share, which Harris will define, while working-class people aren't left to carry the tax burden alone, which some feel they currently do. This grand partnership ensures that public services like education, healthcare, weapons manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, abortion pills, green energy, and infrastructure are properly funded through fair taxation, which is why the IRS's endorsement of Kamala Harris is a no-brainer for the future of the nation and the IRS.

The point of Arlington Cemetery is to go and show respect for the men and women who have given their

lives for this country when you make it political you take away the respect of the people who are there....

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The woman who got 13 U.S. Service members killed in Afghanistan has issued a statement condemning a man for bragging about going to comfort the families of the fallen soldiers.

"How dare Trump go lay flowers on the fallen soldier's tombs, just because their families asked him to," said Vice President Harris. "It's disgusting -- showing up to a memorial service you were invited to. Anyway, why should he be the one accepting an invitation when I'm the one who got them killed?"

According to sources, Trump has been accused of accepting invitations from multiple Gold Star families to a solemn ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, where he honored their fallen sons and daughters. "It's disgusting," said MSNBC's Joe Scarbarough, watching as Trump laid a wreath onto a tomb. "This just shows what depths Trump will go to, even leaving the campaign trail to attend a memorial service. Is there no low this man will not stoop to?"

Historically, getting soldiers killed through horrific incompetence has been seen as damaging politically, but after Trump's attendance at the service, the Harris campaign has decided it's time to change that narrative. "So what if she got thirteen people killed and claimed to be totally comfortable with that decision?" said campaign manager Julie Rodriguez. "Nothing is off limits for political gain, even the very deaths she caused. You get someone shot, just accuse your opponent of playing politics by going to the funeral. Then, sit back and watch the media take it from there."

At publishing time, the Harris campaign had accused Trump of offering a tissue to a crying widow.

In these challenging times, it's truly inspiring to watch Kamala Harris step up and do what’s necessary to safeguard democracy. She’s mastered the art of connecting with everyday Americans, whether it’s through her well-timed chuckles or a carefully curated wardrobe choice. We should be thankful that DNC selected Kamala is out there, tirelessly reminding us that democracy needs as much protection as her next perfectly crafted soundbite.

However, while Kamala is busy ensuring our political system stays intact, let’s not forget about the health risks lurking in our kitchens—or, as the CDC recently warned, our bathrooms. Yes, you heard that right. Apparently, washing your collard greens in the bathtub is now a thing, but it comes with a stern warning: Don’t do it! The CDC cautions against this practice, citing the potential for cross-contamination with bacteria like E. coli, or ingestion of bleach residue. So, as much as you might be tempted to dump your veggies in the tub for a quick rinse, just remember that your bathtub might not be the best salad spinner.

So, as Kamala continues to pander her way to protecting our democracy, let’s make sure we don’t let our guard down at home. The CDC is clear—keep the collard greens out of the bathtub. Stick to the sink, where at least you know the risks are limited to a bit of soap residue. Because in the grand scheme of things, we need both a healthy democracy and bacteria-free greens to thrive.

1.  If you are capable of lowering prices for Americans, why haven’t you done it in the 3½ years you have been in office?

2. You say housing affordability would be a “Day One priority” if you were elected. Why is it not a priority now? Housing isn’t affordable for the average American in 99 percent of the nation.

3. You co-sponsored Medicare-for-All and the Green New Deal? Do you still support these multi-trillion-dollar takeovers of the American economy?

4. You talk a lot about "freedom." What about the freedoms of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, and Jocelyn Nungaray? These women were killed by illegal immigrants who were let into the country under your watch.

5. President Trump didn't need a "border bill" to secure the border. Why did you support executive actions like stopping construction of the border wall and halting deportations that intentionally unsecured the border?

6. Trump was the first president in decades to start no new wars. Under your watch, wars are popping up in Europe and the Middle East. Why is that?

7. Why did you conceal Joe Biden's cognitive decline from the American people?

8. You supported the Defund the Police movement and have said more that police doesn’t mean more safety. Why do you want fewer police officers?

9. You’ve called for getting rid of cash bail and your campaign hasn’t backed away from it. Why do you still support such a radical view?

10. You have sent anonymous aides out to claim you've abandoned the radically liberal positions that you've held for decades. Do you think lying to the American people is the best strategy?

What other things would you like to know about Kamala?

Kamala Harris and her allies in the controlled media have been working hard to rebrand her awkward cackling as an expression of joy, attempting to portray her as "America's mommy." Meanwhile, RFK Jr. has thrown his support behind Donald Trump, seeking to prevent what he views as the degraded Democratic Party from maintaining control of the White House. As we enter the final stretch before November, the political theater is in full swing. Many passionate but perhaps naive individuals believe that their party holds the key to America's future, thinking their vote will steer the country toward their preferred social outcomes. However, the partisan divide in America has reached an intensity not seen in over 150 years, and the majority of Americans can no longer find common ground. The political landscape has shifted from a battle between left and right to one of perceived good versus evil, where compromise seems impossible.

What many Americans fail to grasp is that Congress and the president are not the primary drivers of the laws that govern the country. Instead, it's corporations like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Amazon, AT&T, Alphabet, Pfizer, and lobbying groups like AIPAC that effectively write the laws. Senators and congressmen are often just there to rubber-stamp legislation crafted by these powerful interests. The government, despite the lip service it pays to the people, has not been "of the people, by the people, for the people" for a very long time. What we're witnessing in the lead-up to November is largely theater, designed to distract the public from the real workings of power in Washington, D.C.

In reality, most legislation is subcontracted to K Street, the hub of lobbyists in D.C., who craft laws on behalf of their clients—clients like big pharmaceutical companies, defense contractors, and even foreign governments. These lobbyists then sell their legislation to the elected officials who are supposed to represent their constituents' interests. But instead, these officials often act in the interests of those who fund their campaigns and offer them perks. When you vote for a representative or senator, you're not choosing someone who will write laws; you're choosing someone who will either approve or disapprove of laws written by lobbyists. Essentially, you are electing a hostage negotiator to the stage set by corporate lobbyists. D.C. has become the legislative arm of big business and global finance, rather than a government that truly serves the American people.

We should be deeply concerned about the profound negative impact Donald Trump's leadership has had on the integrity and unity of our nation. Throughout his tenure, we witnessed a consistent pattern of divisive rhetoric, disregard for democratic norms, and a troubling lack of accountability.

Trump's repeated attacks on essential institutions, including corporate press and the judicial system, have undermined public trust in institutions and weakened the foundations of our democracy. His handling of critical issues, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, was defined by misinformation and negligence, leading to massive loss of life and prolonged economic hardship for millions of Americans that would have been saved with more money and more vaccines.

Moreover, his foreign policy decisions often alienated our long-standing allies while cozying up to authoritarian regimes, compromising our global standing and security and embroiling the globe in warfare. The incitement of hostility and the normalization of hateful discourse during his administration have left deep scars on our social fabric, fostering increased polarization, rioting, and social unrest.

We need to recognize and address the damages caused by such leadership to prevent further erosion of our democratic principles and to restore integrity, empathy, and compliance in our governance. We must stop playing nice and hold our leaders accountable, and strive for a future that prioritizes unity, truth, and the well-being of all citizens.

I'd love to see someone actually break it down and explain how their life is better now compared to years ago. Everything is more expensive, and I don’t see how anyone could say they’re better off now, unless they hit the mega bucks. It’s mind-boggling to me that some people are just going along with this because the TV told them to, and that’s why they can’t name a single policy. It's all vibes and no brains.

Let’s face it, the economy is just too complicated with all this pesky "supply and demand" nonsense. Who needs the invisible hand of the market when we can have the very visible, and oh-so-wise, hand of price fixing? Here’s why price fixing is the economic miracle we've all been waiting for:

So let’s embrace price fixing as the economic panacea it clearly is. Who needs market dynamics when we can just dictate prosperity from the top down? After all, if history has taught us anything, it’s that central planning always works out just fine! 😜

Anti-Israel activists crashed a Democratic rally supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in New York City on Wednesday where Mayor Eric Adams was speaking and went on to trash the afterparty venues, causing thousands of dollars in damage to the nearby restaurant.

Agitators wearing keffiyehs set off smoke bombs and some were taken into custody by NYPD officers. At least 14 were arrested. An NYPD vehicle was graffitied with the words "Free Gaza" while a protester plastered a sign on a restaurant window that read "No Votes for Bombala's Genocide."

Yesterday, as I'm sure you heard, Kamala Harris announced her running mate for president, and the media got their talking points. Like the Operation Mockingbird assets that they are, they mindlessly repeated them...... "Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. What does Walz bring to this? He's described as cuddly. I think she went for maybe a little more of a cuddly choice. Tell us more about the texture of the man; he seems to almost have a twinkle in his eye. Tim Walz is the opposite of weird. He sounds like a football coach, a hunter you could visit with at the hardware store. If you had "weird" and "anti-weird" in the dictionary, you'd have Tim Walz's picture there. I bet he knows how to make a good hot dish casserole. It's his authenticity, an authentic communicator. The word joy comes up a lot. He's joyful, he seems happy. Oh, he's happy, alright—happy to push the most leftist agenda that the Marxist Democrats could possibly imagine, including giving driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

A packed room at the St. Paul Armory erupted after the governor's signature made driver's licenses for all the law of the land. Driver's licenses for all, huh? Well, while they're at it, they'll probably just end up mailing them some ballots for the election too. I mean, what's next? Is he going to change the Minnesota state flag because it's too offensive to the non-white residents? Oh, wait, what's this? Governor Tim Walz introduces a new Minnesota state flag. Wait a minute, he says the old one is too uncomfortable. Here's the new flag: a white and blue flag with a star on it. That does look familiar. Maybe it's better for Ilhan Omar and her fellow Somali residents in the state because this new Minnesota state flag is very similar to the Somali flag. Something I'll never get tired of saying: Congresswoman Omar, wonderful. When I'm having a tough day or I'm out on mile five of my run and feeling down, I think, Ilhan Omar is a congresswoman, and it just brightens you up. So thank you. Anyone who likes Ilhan Omar obviously hates America, and that includes this creep and his wife. Here she is talking about the 2020 riots for George Floyd and how fantastic they smelled.

"I would say those first days, you know, when there were riots, I could smell the burning tires, and that was a very real thing. I kept the windows open for as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening."

She enjoyed smelling her city burning to the ground. Governor Walz is also very proud of legislation he signed into law last year mandating that all Minnesota public schools, grades 4 through 12, have tampons in the bathrooms—but not for the girls, for the boys. So you know what this means, right? Tim Walz has a new nickname: Tampon Tim. The meme makers were quick to get to work with this one and this one.

Since all the world is a stage and politics is one gigantic reality show, the Democrats staged this cringeworthy phone call between Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, informing him that he was the pick.

"Hi, this is Tim."

"It's Kamala Harris. Good morning, Governor."

"Good morning, Madam Vice President."

"Listen, I want you to do this with me. Let's do this together. Would you be my running mate and let's get this thing on the road?"

"I would be honored, Madam Vice President. The joy that you're bringing back to the country, the enthusiasm that's out there."

Look at him, just a normal Midwestern guy wearing a t-shirt and his hunter's cap, who’s putting tampons in boys' bathrooms. Then he joined Kamala on stage in Philadelphia, and he is quite talented at reading the teleprompter—you’ve got to give him that.

"When it was Republicans who were talking about freedom, it turns out now what they meant was the government should be free to invade your doctor's office."

He's talking about abortions, of course. "In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make, even if we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves. There’s a golden rule: mind your own damn business."

That's interesting because in 2020, during the COVID pandemic, he created a hotline for people to call and snitch on their neighbors and businesses that were violating the stay-at-home orders. So the decision in November is quite clear: it's cackling Kamala and Tampon Tim or Donald Trump and JD Vance. This is a guy who's proposed shipping more manufacturing jobs to China, who wants to make the American people more reliant on garbage energy instead of good American energy, and who has proposed defunding the police just as Kamala Harris does. They make an interesting tag team because Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis in the summer of 2020, and then the few who got caught, Kamala Harris helped bail them out of jail. It says a lot about Kamala Harris that she doesn't care about the border, she doesn't care about crime, she doesn't care about American energy, and most importantly, she doesn't care about the Americans who have been made to suffer under those policies. We’re now just 90 days from the election, so buckle up because things are going to start accelerating and getting more intense and strange. There’s going to be more disinformation because there’s nothing the Democrats and Marxists won’t do to try to stop Donald Trump and JD Vance from winning.

Kamala sat on a cloud of dreams,

Floating high above candy streams.

With a grin she said, “I’m ready to be,

Something new and wild, unburdened and free!”

She tried being a kite, soaring through the sky,

But tangled in branches, she gave a sigh.

Next, she became a dolphin in the sea,

Splashing around, as happy as can be.

Then a giggling breeze that tickled the trees,

Whispering secrets to flowers and bees.

“Oh, the things I could be,” she said with a laugh,

A juggler, a wizard, or maybe a giraffe!

Yet through all the changes, she gleefully found,

That the best thing to be is truly unbound.

With a wink and a twirl, she waved to her elite friends.

Crowned as queen, unburdened by what has been.
