@AmericaPapaBear I don’t like people disrespecting my flag or my country, but doing it to someone else’s flag seems wrong. I don’t want to see you elevating the flag of the country you fled from over the flag of my country who took you in. If you cannot do that you need to rethink where home is.

☹️ but true.

We stopped disciplining children and started diagnosing them.

Now we have a society full of adults who think everything is someone else's fault.

Tell me I'm wrong!

@Chicago1Ray How many times have we heard Thune say “we don’t have the votes” . If something constantly happens to you, the constant is you. 😑

We are currently living this truth.

[Eli Steele @Hebro_Steele]

Longtime friends and colleagues Shelby Steele and Thomas Sowell have warned the West for decades that its most poisonous enemies are white guilt and the racially engineered diversity racket. They argued that it would breed tribal hatred and undermine the West's greatest creation: the individual. Henry Nowak was not treated as an individual but as a representative of a race deemed guilty due to its white skin.

“White guilt morally and culturally disarms the West. It makes the First World apologetic. And this, of course, only inflames the narcissism of the ineffectual.” -- Shelby Steele

“We are among the biggest fools in history if we keep on paying people to make us hate each other. Whether it is called by pretty names like 'multiculturalism,' 'diversity' or gender awareness,' that is what it all boils down to.” -- Thomas Sowell

@ScottPresler Done!

@RepNancyMace Maybe it will pass in congress but everything dies in the senate. 😑

[Forges4Hucks @Forges4Hucks]

@timburchett @eyerighton18 Not really a bombshell, we have been watching the bank accounts of politicians get fat after just a few years of “serving the public”. Hope Mr Burchett can get some traction on this issue. The senate seems to be where bills go to die. 😑

@LeaderJohnThune @POTUS But have you secured our elections? We keep asking but nothing happens….☹️

[Forges4Hucks @Forges4Hucks]

What a great speech from Bessemer!

@GenFlynn Pray for America, ask forgiveness for the sins of our country and the sins of our people. “Humble yourselves and pray”.

@Supersonic_Red Why do people glorify the “sexual revolution” of the sixties. I remember driving thru LA & SF and seeing the “hippies” and honestly, it looked very similar to homeless camps now. Drugged out people, living in filthy conditions. Different message maybe but similar outcome - a mess

@EvelynPR0777 🙏

[Forges4Hucks @Forges4Hucks]

@ScottPresler Your mom is correct!

[Forges4Hucks @Forges4Hucks]

Good history lesson, I doubt republicans were innocent in this.

[Old Salty Marine @BamaSaltyMarine]

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]

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?

@FritoChest13786 @ItalianImmiGirl @RealJamesWoods Have you had to actually use the FAIR plan because it is anything but fair. What has the government in CA actually done a good job running…… exactly.
