Cornyn, Tillis, and Curtis blocked the billion dollar payout fund for victims of our weaponized government for 1 reason:
To protect the Deep State.
That’s it.
The Deep State knew that years of drawn out litigation exposing their myriad abuses of power would delegitimize them and spur major reforms.
À la fin des années 1960, Angela Lansbury découvrit que sa fille adolescente passait du temps avec l’entourage de Charles Manson — avant les meurtres, avant que le monde ne connaisse son nom. Elle perçut immédiatement le danger. Sa réaction fut rapide et radicale. 📷
Lansbury était une immense star vivant à Malibu, au sommet de sa carrière. Sa fille, Deirdre, s’était retrouvée mêlée à la culture de la drogue de l’époque et attirée par un homme charismatique qui rassemblait des jeunes dans les canyons de Los Angeles.
« Cela me peine de le dire, confia Lansbury plus tard, mais à un moment donné, Deirdre faisait partie d’un groupe mené par Charles Manson. Elle faisait partie de nombreux jeunes qui le connaissaient — et ils étaient fascinés. »
Lansbury n’attendit pas que la situation se résolve d’elle-même.
Elle abandonna ses contrats, ses relations professionnelles et le sommet de sa carrière à Hollywood. Elle fit ses valises et déménagea toute la famille dans une ferme du comté de Cork, en Irlande — un lieu isolé, calme, totalement hors de portée de Los Angeles.
« J’ai dit à Peter : “Nous devons partir”, » se souvenait-elle. « J’étais certaine que nous devions quitter cet endroit. Je n’allais pas rester à regarder mes enfants se détruire. »
Pendant une année entière, elle n’accepta aucun rôle.
Elle cuisinait. Elle jardinaît. Elle était simplement une mère. Pas de scénarios. Pas de tapis rouges. Juste le travail quotidien, discret et sans glamour, consistant à aider ses enfants à retrouver leur chemin.
Et cela fonctionna.
Loin des sectes et du chaos, Deirdre et son fils Anthony commencèrent à aller mieux. Deirdre finit par épouser un chef italien et ouvrit un restaurant à succès en Californie. Anthony devint réalisateur de télévision.
Des années plus tard, la série qui fit d’Angela Lansbury une figure mondiale — Murder, She Wrote — serait diffusée pendant douze saisons et la rendrait l’une des personnalités les plus aimées de la télévision.
Mais avant que Jessica Fletcher ne résolve le moindre mystère, Angela Lansbury avait déjà pris la décision la plus importante de sa vie.
Elle avait choisi ses enfants plutôt que sa carrière.
Sans hésiter. Sans jamais regarder en arrière.
« Aucun niveau de célébrité ou d’argent, comprit-elle, ne vaut le prix de la paix de sa famille. »
Elle a tout abandonné pour sauver ses enfants. Et elle les a sauvés.
Just a reminder that the ONLY Republican running for Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) District 1 dropped out of the race...
...BECAUSE NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS ARRESTED FOR FIRING SHOTS AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!!!
Local police SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMED the attack was targeted at Aaron Marin.
Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid's basketball hoop. Marin's ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave their home and Aaron says they live in, "constant fear."
He says his kids no longer even feel safe to play outside and they are moving away.
CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY ZERO MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET COVERED THIS??????!!!!!!
REPUBLICANS ARE LITERALLY BEING SHOT AT AND THERE IS SILENCE FROM THE MEDIA!!!!!!
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!!!!!!
We sent our 52-page autism study directly to RFK Jr...
Days later, the CDC changed its website to say: “The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is NOT an evidence-based claim.”
The 30-year lie that “vaccines don’t cause autism” has officially been TERMINATED.
Our peer-reviewed study found 79% (107 of 136) of vaccine-related studies showed a POSITIVE LINK to autism, neurodevelopmental disorders, and/or brain damage.
Autism prevalence skyrocketed 32,000% as vaccine makers obtained full liability protection and the vaccine schedule grew to 72 doses.
Word is out that @LeaderJohnThune and @Senatortimscott have no plans to send Republican money to help out Ken Paxton in Texas.
These POS spent over $150 million trying to save John Cornyn ass of which a good deal went into attack ads against Paxton
I'm sorry. This dog don't hunt. If you won't do EVERYTHING you can to elect Paxton there is NO Reason for ANY MAGA people to vote for ANY Incumbent RINOs
You better publicly back off from this and get on the Ken Paxton band wagon.
@TXGOP ... this isn't going to cut it
HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible],
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent], and
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though. Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so — but it’s worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?
@GovPressOffice Gas prices are higher in California than every other state and always have been. You’re the governor so the blame lies squarely on you.
@GovPressOffice Try winning the presidency, then you can decorate it any way you want. The communists will likely help you. Of course, we will make fun of you. You just make it so easy.
