The poverty line, a six-decade-old benchmark, claims to define the threshold to the middle class. The number is a lie, writes Michael W. Green. https://t.co/JhgBr45AF7
"Ever wonder why... the school systems don't teach any real life skills anymore?"
"Because the moment a man becomes self-reliant, the system loses control."
"They don't want you to know how to survive without them. They want you dependent. They want you obedient. They want you to be reliant on the government. And so they teach kids how to comply, not how to think."
"Self-reliance is dangerous to the people who crave power, because once you can feed yourself, once you can defend yourself, once you can think for yourself, they can't control you anymore."
"That's why they vilify independence, because the system doesn't fear rebellion—it fears men who no longer need it."
"The strongest rebellion left in the world is a man who refuses to depend on a system that's trying to enslave him." 🎯
THAT’S IT?
This is what 20 years’ worth of spent nuclear fuel looks like safely stored at the former Maine Yankee nuclear plant.
The plant generated 119 billion kilowatt hours of reliable power from 1972-1996, which is enough to power half a million homes each year.
“ if you are getting 85% of your needs met through food stamps, Medicaid and rent subsidies, and then someone offered you a job for 40 hours per week…”
“ work 40 hours to get 100% or do nothing for 85%. People looked at that and said 85% is fine.”
“ and once people figured that out, there was no way to get them out of that.”
I am America Only in the same sort of sense that I am My Family Only. My first priority is my family. I will never put any other family above my own. I will help other families only to the extent that it brings no harm to my family. There will never be a time when the interests of another family will come before my own. If I had to choose between rescuing a thousand strangers from a fire or just one of my children, I will choose my child without hesitation.
Our leaders are not our parents and we are not their children, but the same general principle should apply. They should prioritize their people, Americans, above all other people on Earth. They should concern themselves with other nations only to the degree that it benefits Americans. If they could choose between helping 10 million foreigners or one American family, they should choose the American family without hesitation. This is what it means to be a nation, a people. Or what it should mean.
You want to fix housing supply?
Deport the millions of illegals that have come across our borders. At HUD, we are working on just that in our nation’s public housing.
No one loves the filibuster more than Senate Republicans. It gives them an excuse to block the MAGA agenda. “We need 60 votes!” It’s how amnesty pushing weasels like Lankford get a pass on votes the public want but his donors don’t like. Abolish the filibuster!
