.@RepJeffries, two days ago I challenged you with the numbers. Today you’re back promising Americans “dramatic change.”
Let’s revisit the receipts.
During Biden’s first 21 months:
Consumer prices rose 13.9%.
Groceries rose 18.1%.
Gasoline rose 69.6%.
Electricity rose 23.8%.
Real hourly earnings fell 3.8%.
Mortgage rates climbed from 2.67% to 6.70%.
I used the same yardstick Elizabeth Warren uses to attack Trump.
You were in Congress throughout Biden’s presidency. Where were your demands for “dramatic change” when Americans were getting hammered by those numbers?
You don’t get to pretend affordability suddenly became a crisis when the other party took office.
The receipts don’t change with the party in power.
ON UCHICAGO CAMPUS: U.S. Senator from Michigan Elissa Slotkin hopes planned political prosecutions of republican leaders will scare young conservatives from getting involved in politics.
@ElissaSlotkin
Saints are scheduled to leave tonight for Paris, where they play the Steelers next Sunday at Stade de France. Despite intense riots and social unrest there, the NFL says the game is on.
“Preparations continue as scheduled for NFL events and the game at Stade de France next Sunday,” the NFL said. “We continue to work closely with local authorities and partners on all operational and security matters. We are also providing the two clubs with regular updates. There’s been no disruption or impact at league sites.”
For those that still don’t understand what Benghazi was all about:
🚨So here's the REAL story:
Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to secretly retrieve US made Stinger Missiles that the State Dept had supplied to Ansar al Sharia in Libya WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission.
Sec State Hillary Clinton had brokered the Libya deal through Ambassador Stevens and a Private Arms Dealer named Marc Turi, but some of the shoulder fired Stinger Missiles ended up in Afghanistan where they were used against our own military. On July 25th, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was downed by one of them. Not destroyed only because the idiot Taliban didn't arm the missile. The helicopter didn't explode, but it had to land and an ordnance team recovered the missile’s serial number which led back to a cache of Stinger Missiles kept in
Qatar by the CIA.
Obama and Hillary were in full panic mode, so Ambassador Stevens was sent to Benghazi to retrieve the rest of the Stinger Missiles. This was a "do-or-die" mission, which explains the Stand Down Orders given to multiple rescue teams during the siege of the US Embassy.
It was the State Dept, NOT the CIA, that supplied the Stinger Missiles to our sworn enemies because Gen. Petraeus at CIA would not approve supplying the deadly missiles due to their potential use against commercial aircraft. So then, Obama threw Gen. Petraeus under the bus when he refused to testify in support of Obama’s phony claim of a “spontaneous uprising caused by a YouTube video that insulted Muslims.”
Obama and Hillary committed TREASON!
THIS is what the investigation is all about, WHY she had a Private Server, (in order to delete the digital evidence), and WHY Obama, two weeks after the attack, told the UN that the attack was the result of the YouTube video, even though everyone KNEW it was not.
Furthermore, the Taliban knew that the administration had aided and abetted the enemy WITHOUT Congressional oversight or permission, so they began pressuring (blackmailing) the Obama Administration to release five Taliban generals being held at Guantanamo.
Bowe Bergdahl was just a useful pawn used to cover the release of the Taliban generals. Everyone knew Bergdahl was a traitor but Obama used Bergdahl’s exchange for the five Taliban generals to cover that Obama was being coerced by the Taliban about the unauthorized Stinger Missile deal.
So we have a traitor as POTUS that is not only corrupt, but compromised, as well and a Sec of State that is a serial liar, who perjured herself multiple times at the Congressional Hearings on Benghazi. Perhaps this is why no military aircraft were called upon for help in Benghazi: because the administration knew that our enemies had Stinger Missiles that, if used to down those planes, would likely be traced back to the CIA cache in Qatar and then to the State Dept’s illegitimate arms deal in Libya.
Forward this again and again and again until everyone reads the true story of Benghazi.
Talarico is so full of sh—. Feigning ignorance tonight on the Save America Act to the veteran who asked him. He literally trashed it in August but claimed tonight he’d never heard of it. See below
Wow! @GovPritzker killed it in the debate. His record is incredible. He might be the best governor in America.
Look at all these categories where Illinois ranks number one.
#1 in highest property taxes
#1 in highest combined state/local tax burden
#1 in cell phone taxes
#1 in local government bureaucracy
#1 in fiscal instability
#1 in worst state pension crisis
#1 in state pension debt
#1 in pension debt per capita
#1 in lowest bond ratings
#1 in public corruption convictions
#1 in biggest gas tax increase since 2019
#1 in eliminating school choice
#1 in lowest fiscal transparency
#1 in gerrymandering
Pritzker is #1!
And by "killed it," I mean Illinois has the worst-run state government in U.S. history.
You wanna see how fake the Democrats and the media are?
Back in March 2024, under Biden, U.S. officials told Zelensky to stop striking Russia’s energy infrastructure because it was driving up oil prices, risking retaliation, and potentially hurting Biden’s re-election chances. The strikes had already helped push crude prices up nearly 4% since mid-March.
They reported it and moved on. No selective outrage.
Now Trump raises similar concerns over diesel prices and energy markets, and suddenly it’s nonstop “Orange man bad.”
Just goes to show you what a bunch of frauds they are.
@DefiantLs I walk regularly with a 4 foot long staff. I've used it to dissuade dogs from chasing me with bared teeth on public property. And yes have gotten grief from an outraged female owner. So I helpfully cited local ordinance she just violated.
The Barbary states declared that the
Quran gave them the right to seize Christian ships and enslave their crews.
And the Pasha of Tripoli demanded tribute and declared war on America in 1801
Jefferson refused to pay. He ordered the Marines and the fleet to Tripoli instead.
That's why the Marine Corps hymn still sings
"…to the shores of Tripoli." We didn't negotiate with jihad. We ended it with cannon fire and steel.
America's first war as a free nation was fought against Islamic piracy and slavery.
Elon nailed the double standard.
If we shipped 100,000 Americans to Greenland, elected an American prime minister, and voted the place into the U.S., the left would lose their minds. Do that to Europe through mass immigration and they call it progress.
Same playbook here. Import the votes. Change the country. Then act shocked when the natives notice.
Europe is the warning. November is the off-ramp.
Vote Republican. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
