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?
NONCITIZENS caught registered to vote in NJ went from 6,600 to 35,152, but now the software vendor has come out and stated that it was NOT a "glitch" and that the state of NJ APPROVES noncitizens who register to vote.
AAG Harmeet Dhillon has stated that investigations are under way and that any state that is allowing noncitizens to be registered to vote will face charges.

🚨 Stephen Miller just said it PERFECTLY: "The contrast has NEVER been more clear — there's President Trump, the Republican Party and America First, or there are the crazy COMMUNIST LUNATICS who will steal EVERYTHING you know and love in this nation, and they will NEVER let you have it back!"
"The Democrat Party has embraced not only socialism, they've embraced communism. Straight-up, outright, full-throated communism. They are now electing candidates who want to take private industry over, give it to the government, suspend the Constitution, abolish the Senate, abolish borders, abolish prisons, abolish jails, abolish the jury system, abolish our entire way of life!"

There’s a lot of people who are pushing for a race war, from the powers that be, to random everyday people. I see it from both sides, especially on social media from black people and from white people. Anyone who wants a racist war is an idiot…

Retired ICE Deputy Director Scott Mechkowski just dismantled Democratic narratives about hunger strikes at the Delaney Hall ICE facility.
"DHS reported that commissary sales at Delaney Hall nearly tripled while it was supposedly underway, from $11,500 the week before May 26th to more than $30,000 the week before January 1st.”
“People who are starving themselves in protest do not triple commissary spending.”
“It is not a hunger strike when a detainee refuses meals at chow time, only stuffs his face with Hot Cheetos and Twinkies in his dormitory at night.”
🚨 TRUMP ADMIN IS RECOVERING BILLIONS FROM FRAUDSTERS!
FBI Director Kash Patel and team just ran an international manhunt, nabbing 3 of the world’s most wanted fraudsters who stole nearly $2 BILLION from Medicare/Medicaid meant for our kids and seniors!
One guy in the Philippines alone? $547 MILLION in scams. They’re dragging these crooks back from Somalia, Philippines, Middle East, wherever they hide.
Dr. Oz, RFK Jr., and this whole team are finally securing taxpayer dollars. Holding back $1 BILLION from California and $199 MILLION from Minnesota until they clean up their empty hospice scams and fake facilities.
No more waste. No more open borders letting criminals loot the system. This is what winning looks like — putting America and our vulnerable first!
Taxpayers work too hard for this garbage.
