@MarcoFoster_ @JamesCarville Someone needs to do a welfare check on this guy. I don’t think he’s well.

There were always two or three jerks holding up an entire line of folks trying to get into my parking garage at 8:00in the morning. It always made me shake my head—I mean, apparently they feel it’s ok to hold up dozens of people and make them late for work so that THEY can get out quickly after work. Maddening, And recently our city had begun REQUIRING backing in in certain rows of spaces. I just don’t get it.

He’s the President of the United States — not your ex, not your personal villain, and not the cause of your misery. You don’t have to support him. That’s America.

But if someone is simply backing the sitting President and it makes you rage, cut people off, attack families, or act like garbage — you are the problem.

You’ve turned politics into a personality disorder: nonstop outrage and toddler meltdowns online. Grow up. He won. The sky didn’t fall. Pay your bills, care for your family, touch grass, and move on.

[Kelly Benedict @Cyra2009]

@Pro__Trading Yes, because they support these things.

Absolutely not and that’s not my point. My point is most young families in those days lived like this. We didn’t consider ourselves to be poor. Everyone we knew lived like this. Young people talk about how everyone could afford their own home then, and yes, a lot could; but this was a typical starter home during that time, and no one expected a higher standard of living when they were starting out.

Anyone who claims the lack of joy about the 250th is a function of a rough economy was not alive in 1976.

The country rocked in its 200th celebration and the economy was a FREAKING MESS.

There is this Gen Z misconception that the '70s and early '80s were some sort of economic golden age of readily available, well-paying jobs, low cost housing and an all around sense of prosperity.

WRONG.

Google "Stagflation." Google "gas lines." Google "mortgage interest rates in the 1980s."

Our economy today is a golden age by comparison, without exaggeration.

Yet somehow in 1976 we could gleefully celebrate our nation's birthday without Democrats turning it into a Howard Zinn-inspired anti-history hatefest.

I'm a bit tired listening to Establishment GOP commentators describe what a terrible candidate Paxton is for the Texas Senate.

Paxton twice won AG races statewide easily -- 2018 and 2022.

I get it -- there are issues in his past, and he was impeached for "securities fraud" --- involving Texas securities law, not federal securities law.

But I also have a surface understanding that the efforts against Paxton in Texas were driven by a rival faction of the TEXAS STATE GOP, pushed by the former Speaker of the Texas House who was an opponent inside the GOP.

The Speaker was later censured by the State Party for his efforts, and has since been run out of office.

Those were "intra-party" battles that Paxton's side ended up winning, and the losers remain butt-hurt over it all.

It all played out while Biden was POTUS and Dems controlled DOJ. No federal investigation went anywhere.

The fact that the Dems had to pull the Hoffman prosecution and COMPLETELY LIE about it as their opening salvo strongly suggests to me that the other stuff is "noise" with Texas voters.

The critics of Paxton in the GOP Establishment -- which I think mostly reflects simply the pro-Cornyn forces at the federal level in the GOP -- need to just stop because there is less substance to it all than they claim.

Get over it. Paxton is the candidate and likely the next Senator from Texas.

Cornyn, for whatever is virtues were thought to be in DC, lost track of the GOP voters in Texas.

Not the first time and won't be the last time.

Let me say it loud for the retards in the back who keep rewriting history:

President Trump was advised to lock the country down for two weeks to slow the curve. He listened. Republican-led states reopened and got back to work. Democrat-led states stayed shut down for over a year.
Trump repeatedly pleaded with those blue-state governors to reopen their economies. They refused. Their goal was clear: tank the Trump economy so they could blame him for the damage. Millions lost jobs and livelihoods because of it.

Democrat governors chose to send sick COVID patients into nursing homes — a decision that killed thousands of our elderly. That was their choice, not Trump’s.
They lectured him: “Don’t tell me how to run my state, Trump! Don’t overstep your authority!” While encouraging people to snitch on their neighbors for not following the rules.

Operation Warp Speed happened under President Trump. The vaccines were developed a few years prior. Democrats originally scoffed: “I’m not taking a Trump vaccine.”

Then Biden and Democrats stole the election, forced vaccine mandates, and suddenly, it was “safe and effective” — take it or lose your job. Blue states cheered and reopened.

Don’t twist the history. Those of us who lived through 2020-2024 remember exactly what happened.

@data_republican @CynicalPublius What a trade up JD Vance is!

[Kelly Benedict @Cyra2009]

@ScottPresler Thank you so much, Scott, for all your hard work!

[Kelly Benedict @Cyra2009]

@MarkSZaidEsq You should be disbarred for bringing such a meritless case before the courts.

On Memorial Day (May 25), Minnesota Governor Tim Walz skipped the Fort Snelling National Cemetery Memorial Day ceremony — where he was listed as a speaker — to instead visit George Floyd Square and dance with the crowd.

Multiple people with direct knowledge confirmed Walz was a no-show for honoring fallen veterans and service members.

Instead, he chose to mark the 6th anniversary of George Floyd’s death. He even did some dancing there (seen in this AI video).

One attendee said: “We are supposed to honor our heroes, and he blows off the veterans? What a slap in the face.”

Priorities speak volumes.

@KarluskaP Because they are part and parcel of the Washington Uniparty and have been for a very long time.

[Kelly Benedict @Cyra2009]

@DataRepublican Feel better soon!

[Kelly Benedict @Cyra2009]

@jeffaccordion @TyMastersonKS @POTUS President Trump is the best president of my lifetime, but he is not infallible. I strongly believe Masterson is not the best choice for Kansas, and while he will have my support if he’s the nominee, I believe our state would be far better served if we nominate Sarnecki.

[Jimmy’s Famous Seafood @JimmysSeafood]

Today’s the day we honor all those who didn’t come home. This is not 4th of July. It’s not a celebration - but rather a day which reminds us the true cost of freedom.

The land of the free because of the brave. Wishing everyone a safe & meaningful Memorial Day.

🇺🇸 God Bless America.

[Kelly Benedict @Cyra2009]

@BamaSaltyMarine Every time I get in the car, and that includes in the summer! That’s what AC is for. 😆

[Kelly Benedict @Cyra2009]

@PeteMundo Meh. I will vote for him if he’s the R on the ballot, but I would like to see Sarnecki nominated. I’m still not over Masterson’s not pushing harder for redistricting, among other things.
