The graveyard gravy train is finally over.

I spent years fighting to stop Washington from sending checks to dead people. Now, Treasury has blocked 4,900 payments worth $99 million.

Turns out checking for a pulse before cutting a check saves money. Duh.

My committee combed through millions of COVID documents, and what did we find?

Anthony Fauci destroyed records. He told others to delete emails. And then he told them to delete them from deleted files.

He and his allies privately doubted the "implausible" line on a lab leak while publicly attacking anyone who raised it.

And he never took responsibility for funding dangerous research in China.

Next week, Dr. Fauci goes under oath in front of my committee, and he’s going to answer for everything we’ve found.

A college economics professor stated that he had once failed an entire class. That class insisted that socialism is functional and that no one should be poor and no one rich, that everyone is equal...

The teacher told them, "OK, we will do an experiment on socialism in this group.

All grades will be averaged, and everyone will get the same grade, so no one will fail and no one will get a 10."

After the first test, the grades were added up and divided by the number of students, and everyone got an 8.

The students who studied intensively were upset, but those who studied less were overjoyed.

As the second test approached, the students who had studied a little learned even less, and those who had studied more intensively told themselves that they also wanted a "handout", so they also studied less.

The average of the second test was 6.

When the third test was given, the average score was 4. To the great surprise of all the students, they all failed.

The teacher told them that socialism will eventually fail because when half the population sees that they cannot work, because the other half will take care of them, and when the half that worked realizes that there is no point in working anymore, because others are the beneficiaries of their labor, then that is the end of any nation
The story may be a fable not a fact but the moral is real
Get it?

SUPREME COURT JUST HANDED TRUMP THE DEPORTATION HAMMER!

In a 5-4 ruling, the Court just activated the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, giving President Trump sweeping wartime authority to round up Tren de Aragua gang members and ship them straight to El Salvador’s mega-prison.

This is the America First justice we’ve been fighting for — no more safe havens for the violent criminals Democrat open-border policies unleashed on our streets.

The deep state and their gang allies just took another major lose.

This is how we clean house and secure the homeland. Share if you’re ready for the planes to start rolling!

My resolution to stop senators' pay during government shutdowns cleared a key procedural vote today, moving it one step closer to final passage.

Fair-minded Americans know senators should feel the pain of a shutdown with the American people.

Former software engineer at Apple is whistleblowing

She says whenever Apple launches a new phone, they would push an update to older iPhones with malware to slow them down. This pushes people to upgrade

“I used to be a software engineer at Apple, and with every new phone that was released, malware was installed on the older phones to make you have to update, so your phone's not just glitching. It's doing that on purpose. Share before it's deleted”

She’s telling the truth, this was proven in court

The 2017 “Batterygate” scandal, where Apple was caught deliberately slowing down older iPhones through software updates

Apple was caught red handed doing this they even admitted it in court

Apple released iOS updates that intentionally throttled and reduced CPU performance. This caused phones to feel slower, glitchy and laggy

Apple’s stated reason: To prevent unexpected shutdowns caused by aging lithium-ion batteries

do you understand what just happened to your computer..

Google Chrome secretly downloaded a 4GB AI model onto your device. Without asking.. Without telling you..

It's called weights.bin. It lives deep in your system folders. It powers Gemini Nano - Google's on-device AI.

And if you delete it? Chrome re-downloads it automatically. Like nothing happened.

Just Google deciding your hard drive is their storage unit.

At 1 billion Chrome users - that's 4 BILLION gigabytes of data pushed silently across the internet.

The carbon footprint alone equals tens of thousands of cars running for a year.

Check your disk right now:
📁 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel

To stop it: chrome://flags → disable Optimization Guide On Device Model → restart Chrome → delete the folder.

Reshare so people know what's sitting on their computers.

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more.

Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged.

Here's what happened:

Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it."

And the exact emails are now PUBLIC.

Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem.

The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately."

Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call.

Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price.

Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed.

Same playbook with Hanes:

Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased."

Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins.

But it gets even worse...

Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site.

Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing.

They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS.

The mechanism is simple but terrifying:

If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers.

Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings."

Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products.

Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform.

So turns out, you were never comparison shopping.

You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors.

"Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable."

3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on.

This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat.

And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE.

"Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

Today, I tried to pass my resolution to stop senators’ pay during government shutdowns. The Democrats objected without explaining why.

My resolution is about shared sacrifice.

It’s about—in some small way—sharing the pain of our TSA and other workers at DHS, who are not being paid because Democrats shut down the department.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES!! A Democrat just BLOCKED Sen. John Kennedy's resolution that would stop senator paychecks during a government shutdown...

...and he RAN OUT OF THE CHAMBER

SEN. SCHATZ: "I object" *Runs away*

KENNEDY, stunned: "He objected and LEFT THE CHAMBER. Is he COMING BACK?"

"Wait, I mean, is he ill?!"

"What should I do, should I give him more time?"

He wants to BLOCK TSA pay and won't face the American people. Shameful!

“We just found one... a 14-year-old girl. Living with two adult males. We found her, she’s pregnant. From trafficking being forced into prostitution. 14 years old. We are taking care of her. Both physically and mentally.”

Democrats ran one of the largest child trafficking operations in history.

Holy COW! This San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Captain alleges that Pakistanis who have never even been in the US are voting in California elections... from Pakistan.

According to the captain, voting records indicate individuals outside the country, specifically in Pakistan, can participate in the CA elections.

If this is true... talk about a national security threat! No wonder why California wants to hide voter information from the feds!
