@jim_urso So no handouts to Billionaires? Okay, lets see. In this post you're talking about cutting medical care, presumably the ACA which is EXACTLY giving money to Billionaires through subsidies. You have no fucking clue what you're for or against.

In the summer of 1921 ten thousand armed men walked into the mountains of West Virginia.
Black men and white men. Side by side. Shoulder to shoulder. On the same road going to the same fight for the same reason.
That is the part of the Battle of Blair Mountain that history forgot to tell.
The coal companies of Mingo County had spent years crushing any attempt at unionization with hired gun thugs, mass evictions, and the full cooperation of the state government. Miners who joined the union were fired and thrown out of their company houses with their families in the same day. Union organizers were beaten and murdered. The sheriff of Mingo County ran a private army on the coal company payroll.
In August of 1921 the miners had enough.
Ten thousand of them, a significant portion of them Black miners who understood better than anyone what it meant to have no rights and no recourse against men with money and guns, armed themselves and marched toward Blair Mountain to liberate the coalfields of Logan and Mingo counties.
The coal operators called in private mercenaries. The governor called in the state police. The federal government sent the United States Army and military aircraft that dropped bombs on American citizens on American soil.
The miners held Blair Mountain for five days before surrendering when faced with federal troops.
They lost the battle. But the story of what happened on that mountain, ten thousand men of every color standing together against one of the most powerful industries in America, is one of the most extraordinary and most deliberately buried chapters in American history.
It deserves to be remembered.

Trump & Don Jr. looted national security—forced the Pentagon to hand $620M to Jr.’s firm.
Jr. got a 10x return in MONTHS. Where's the investigation? This is TREASON and CORRUPTION.
War Machine is now a family ATM.
Every dollar = treason.
Taxpayers funded their heist.
🇺🇸 Most Badass Americans You Don’t Know D-Day Edition: John J. Pinder Jr.
Technician Fifth Grade John J. Pinder Jr. landed on Omaha beach on his birthday. He didn’t make it off.
Born June 6, 1912, in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, Joe Pinder was the oldest of three children. His father worked in the steel industry.
He graduated as valedictorian of Butler High School in 1931.
Pinder spent the next several years as a right-handed pitcher in the minor leagues.
He played six seasons in the farm systems of the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, Washington Senators, and Brooklyn Dodgers.
In 1941 he won 17 games and was still chasing a shot at the major leagues when the war came.
He entered the Army in January 1942 after Pearl Harbor.
Assigned as a radio operator with the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, he fought in North Africa and Sicily.
In Sicily he earned a Bronze Star for staying at an observation post under fire.
On June 6, 1944, Pinder landed with the first waves on Omaha Beach on his birthday.
Communications were shattered. His job was to get a working radio ashore.
He made it off the landing craft. They were 100 yards off the beach.
Then he was hit. A round tore into his face after only a few steps off the boat.
Pinder held the torn flesh of his face together with one hand, carried the radio with the other, and delivered the radio to his unit, while wading thru waste deep water.
That should have been enough. It wasn’t.
Weakened and bleeding, he turned around and went back into the surf and fire three more times to salvage communication equipment.
He even recovered another workable radio.
On the third trip machine gun fire hit him again, this time in the legs.
Still he kept going.
Weakening but exposed on the beach, he helped get the radios working so the men around him could call for support.
While doing so, he was hit for the third time and killed.
Medal of Honor. Posthumous.
It was presented to his father on January 26, 1945.
Pinder was initially buried in Normandy.
In 1947 his family brought him home to Grandview Cemetery in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania.
He was the only professional baseball player awarded the Medal of Honor in World War II.
John Pinder is an American Badass
Thank you, John! 🫡🇺🇸
If Republicans want to talk about fraud, let’s do it. Trump is responsible for:
✅Defrauding college students

✅Crypto scams
✅Corrupt foreign deals
✅Self-dealing government contracts
✅Shady real estate transactions
✅Pump & dump stock schemes
✅Pardons for political allies
Care to comment, @HouseGOP?
TRENDING: #Bengals QB Joe Burrow has been very outspoken about being “PRO-ABORTION.”
“I’m not pro-murdering babies. I’m pro-Susan who was sexually assaulted faces the impossible choice of raising her attackers child or living with trauma. I’m pro-life. Their lives. Womens lives”
90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.
