Code Pink is a CCP-funded op, and news flash: you don’t get to smack my arm if you don’t like my responses or the fact that I questioned Secretary Rubio about your communist organization. I couldn’t care less how much random Democrats want to defend what happened. You don’t get to touch me. You don’t get to hit my arm. You don’t get to come to my office and scream and yell. You can hate my politics all you want, but if you touch me, you cross the line.

BTW, Code Pink is awfully quiet about the Uyghur Muslims in China being forced into re-education camps. I wonder why.

🚨 This is a prime example of fraud and waste inside California's homeless industrial complex

California bought this hotel for $8 million in 2020 and now wants $20 million to fix it. That is $625,000 per homeless person.

6 years later and NOTHING to show.

EXPOSE IT ALL.

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?

Gov. Mikie Sherrill says ICE agents are "inciting" the situation at Delaney Hall. Really? The people charging officers aren't ICE agents. The people carrying bricks, sticks and logs aren't ICE agents. The people blocking police vehicles aren't ICE agents.

Worst. Racist. Ever.

🚨Giants QB Jaxson Dart Refuses to Apologize for Supporting Trump – Team Moves On While the Left Loses It🚨

Giants QB Jaxson Dart addressed his teammates yesterday about introducing President Trump last week. Other leaders spoke up too. They talked it through like adults and are moving forward as a team.
The left has completely lost it.
Jaxson Dart doesn’t owe anyone an explanation for supporting a Republican. We have two political parties in this country, not one. Athletes are allowed to have their own views.

Nobody bats an eye or cancels players when they campaign for Democrats or kneel during the anthem. But the second an athlete supports Republicans or even appears with Trump? Outrage, boycotts, and media meltdowns.
This hypocrisy is exhausting. Call it out every single time. Players should be free to think and speak without fear of a purity test from one side. Enough.

[Secretary Brooke Rollins @SecRollins]

Another day, another ridiculous battle to destroy our farmers and their farmland.

New York’s decision to craft their own lax standards for ‘prime farmland’ to fast-track solar developments is a direct attack on American agriculture. In 2020, the exact year they stood up their Office of Renewable Energy Siting, they worked with @Cornell to downgrade soils that were long considered prime. This wasn’t an accident. It was engineered to fast-track solar projects on our best farmland.

For our farmers and ranchers, land is far more than acreage on a map. It is the ground that holds a family’s history. It is a generational heritage and legacy.

Our great ranchers and farmers feed this nation — we cannot allow prime soils to be paved over for unreliable energy that displaces our producers. Farm security is national security. @USDA stands with American agriculture, not green new deal mandates that sacrifice our farmland.

Thanks @johnrich for bringing this to our attention! We are on it.

[Overton @overton_news]

Scott Jennings just drew a hard line in the sand against the left’s pearl clutching over President Trump’s restoration of Washington D.C. for America’s 250th birthday.

He said: NO Republican should apologize for beautifying the nation’s capital.

JENNINGS: “Well, first of all, I don’t think the president or any Republican should apologize for beautifying Washington ahead of our 250th anniversary.”

“This is a big deal!”

“It is a huge thing. It’s the 250th birthday of our country. Lots of people are coming to Washington this summer.”

“It ought to be as beautiful as it can be. We ought to have some national pride, and it ought to start in the U.S. Capitol.”

“So I think this is a total non-issue. I’d be offended if he weren’t beautifying the city, because I think that’s probably what a Democrat would have done.”

“They would have ignored these things and apologized for America.”

@jason_howerton Well said. My thoughts exactly

[Shabbos Kestenbaum @ShabbosK]

I couldn't make it to the anti-Mamdani protest, but here's what I was planning on saying:

When we rally, we bring American flags. We thank the NYPD. We sing the National Anthem.

When the Islamists rally, it's to burn American flags. Assault cops. Call for the death of America.

We are not the same.
Islamists out!
Mamdani out!

[Tim Tebow @TimTebow]

If someone asked you today why you live differently — what would you say?

There's a reason you don't fall apart the way everyone else does.
A reason you can show up with peace in the middle of chaos.
Forgiveness when you've been wronged.
Hope when the situation says there's nothing to hope for.

That's not personality. That's not positivity. That's Jesus.
And the people in your life — at work, home, in your everyday, they're noticing something they can't quite explain.

One day they're going to ask you about it.

Be ready to tell them why.

🚨 NOW: EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT state Attorney General has REFUSED to show up for JD Vance's anti-fraud roundtable at the White House

Republicans showed up, but Vance specifically sent out an olive branch and invited Dems.

THEY SAID NO.

They're pro-fraud.

Nearly 2 dozen Democrat AGs cited time constraints as the reason they can't show up. Yeah, sure.

Democrats = PARTY OF FRAUD

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

WOAH 🚨 House Oversight Committee finds there is a company is Florida called “Have My Baby in Miami”

It’s a birthright tourism company and just this one company has brought OVER 2,000 FOREIGNERS TO AMERICA TO GIVE BIRTH

“That's the name of an actual company that is facilitating birth tourism into the United States, where foreigners come in on visas, have children, then leave so that their children can remain American citizens”

Rep Brandon Gill “That's a problem. The American people are sick of it, and my task force on the House Oversight Committee is going after these companies”

I looked more into this

- It is a Miami-based maternity concierge service that specializes in helping foreign nationals travel to the US to give birth
- Their website and marketing explicitly target international clients especially from Latin America, Brazil and more
- They say they have assisted with over 2,000 international births in the U.S.

But it goes even further than that

Services include:

- obstetric and pediatric care
- logistical support for housing and transportation
- visas guidance
- delivery at facilities like Mercy Miami Hospital
- postpartum care.

This is a highly sophisticated operation, and it’s all to exploit our HORRIBLE birthright immigration loophole policy

The House Oversight Committee says they’ve found many of these companies

We won’t have a country if this continues

Another “Trump’s America” Hate Crime Nightmare…

March 2021: A young Black woman at Viterbo University (WI) was living in absolute terror.

Racist messages left on her dorm door... hurtful slurs on campus bathrooms... with hate filled messages like “You’re an ugly black girl” and “Get out of our school.”

The university was naturally horrified as this was clearly the worst hate crime in history. They canceled classes, held a mass school walkout, and let her speak as a brave voice against racism on campus.

Then it got even worse.

On April 18, 2021, someone set a fire inside a dorm garbage can at 2:00 a.m. while students were sleeping. Clearly another racist attack.

But wait. 🧐

Surveillance video that had been installed following the initial "hate crimes" found that it was Victoria Unanka herself! — leaving her room, and starting the fire. 🤯

Turns out she wrote the racist messages too.

What an incredible twist ending!

She was charged with arson and false reports.
Outcome?
Zero jail time. Zero fines. Just a slap on the wrist and a diversion program.

Another day, another fake hate crime hoax… with zero consequences.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Chris Pratt stood on the MTV stage in 2018 and said something you rarely hear at awards shows.

“You have a soul. Be careful with it. God is real. God loves you. God wants the best for you.” He told the crowd they’re not perfect, never will be, but that’s by design — and grace is available if you accept it. A powerful force paid for that grace with blood. Don’t take it for granted.

This speech always stuck with me. In an environment where everyone usually plays it safe or preachy in the “right” direction, Pratt went straight and sincere. No filter.

In a noisy, cynical world, simple reminders about purpose, imperfection, and grace still cut through, especially from someone unexpected.

Do you think more public figures should speak this openly about faith and personal responsibility, or should they keep it private?

Memorial Day and Veterans Day hold two very different meanings. 🇺🇸

Tomorrow, we honor those who lost their lives in service to our nation. In November, we thank the living veterans who served.

Share this to help remind Americans of the difference.
