America's billionaires are buying up property at a frenzy. Many of the super rich own more than ten homes.
Larry Ellison: 24 homes
Ken Griffin: 13
Eric Schmidt: 13
Ron Burkle: 11
Mike Bloomberg: 10
Jeff Bezos: 9
Meanwhile, the majority of Americans can't even buy one home.
I don't care that I pay extra taxes so a little boy can have open heart surgery, or an elderly can get the heart medication he desperately needs. I'm glad I pay so that people can have a good quality of life. It's called taking care of your people and being a decent human being.
I’ll repeat again:
Anita Hill Warned everyone about Clarence Thomas.
Hillary Clinton warned everyone about orange scumbag.
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford warned everyone about pervert Kavanaugh.
They were all ignored and insulted.
Between 1996 and 2021, the average public school teacher’s weekly wages rose a minuscule $29 when adjusted for inflation.
$29.
Is there a “teacher shortage,” or a shortage of jobs that treat educators with the dignity and pay they deserve?
What a moment in Maui today. Sen. Schatz tells President Biden, "We in Hawaii have been through hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, but we have never seen such a robust federal response. Thank you." This is what the media won't tell you about President Biden & it's a shame.
Prayers all the way up for President Jimmy Carter who, at 98 years old, has lived an exemplary life that his grandson says is entering his final chapter.
Anyone would be proud to have done a fraction of the work President Carter has done for humanity.
What an incredible human! 🙏🙏
Ronald (left) and Carl McNair (right) were born 10 months apart in the Segregated South. The two were inseparable as toddlers and well into adulthood.
In 1959, 9-year-old Ronald McNair went to a public library in Lake City, South Carolina because he was looking for more advanced books on science. Carl accompanied his younger brother and described what happened next:
"So, as he was walking in there, all these folks were staring at him - because they were white folk only, and they were looking at him and saying, you know, 'Who is this Negro?' So, he politely positioned himself in line to check out his books. Well, this old librarian, she says, 'This library is not for coloreds.' He said, 'Well, I would like to check out these books.' She says, 'Young man, if you don't leave this library right now, I'm gonna call the police.' So he just propped himself up on the counter, and sat there, and said, 'I'll wait.'"
The police and their mother were called to the library. Despite the librarian's protest, the police officer allowed Ronald to borrow the books.
Ronald went on to get a PhD in Physics from MIT in 1976 and then soon after applied to join NASA. Carl supported his brother all the way, often in disbelief: "So how was a colored boy from South Carolina-wearing glasses, never flew a plane-how was he gonna become an astronaut?" Carl went on to say that "Ron was one who didn't accept societal norms as being his norm... That was for other people... he got to be aboard his own Starship Enterprise.”
Ronald became the second Black astronaut when he flew as a mission specialist from February 3rd to 11th, 1984. Ronald was then chosen to be one of the 7 astronauts onboard the space shuttle Challenger. He died along with six other crew members on January 28, 1986, at the age of 35.
Today, the library that refused to lend him books is now named after him.
Let me get this straight: teachers can only write off $300 in out-of-pocket expenses for school supplies, but “three-martini” business lunches are fully tax deductible for corporations. Hello?
Young people: The GOP is floating an amendment to raise the voting age from 18 to 25. Vivek Ramaswamy is openly promoting it. They’re scared of your votes and want to silence you. Act appropriately in 2024.
BREAKING: The Grandson of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, says “we're in the final chapter” in a health update.
“He’s still fully Jimmy Carter,” Josh Carter said of his grandfather. “I mean he’s almost 99 years old, but he fully understands (how many well wishes he’s received) and has felt the love.”
Meanwhile, Josh Carter said his grandmother Rosalynn Carter, who has dementia, is cognizant of her diagnosis and even signed off on the May press release in which it was announced. “She still knows who we are, for the most part – that we are family,” Josh Carter said. “My grandmother is still able to form new memories.”
Jimmy Carter, 98, entered hospice care in February. The former president beat brain cancer in 2015 but faced a series of health scares in 2019, and consequentially underwent surgery to remove pressure on his brain.
Family and caregivers have been the only recent visitors to the Carters’ Georgia home, Josh Carter told People. But “there’s always somebody at the house” to keep the Carters company, he said.
Jimmy Carter's unwavering dedication to humanitarian causes and his genuine commitment to making the world a better place make him a shining example of the best in us.
We send Former President Carter and First Lady Rosalynn our love. 💙
