Hey Dan, this wouldn’t have any bearing on diesel prices right?, The power to the plant has been restored from the September 13th power outage, online as of September 17-18 but the plant remains closed. Funny how Illinois is run by democrats and this happens right before the midterms
CNN, MS NOW and Politico are melting down because they’ve had to report from outside the White House for one day.
I couldn’t get access to cover President Biden or even the 2024 DNC. Neither could many of my peers in independent media. We pay our own way. We don’t have billion-dollar corporations backing us. Where was the outrage then?
And when President Trump, RFK Jr. and other conservatives were deplatformed, much of the mainstream media laughed and celebrated. They weren’t screaming about an attack on free speech when we were silenced.
President Trump has opened the White House to independent journalists, podcasters and new-media voices who were shut out before. He’s the most transparent President we’ve had.
I’m a free-speech absolutist. I believe in a free press. But that doesn’t give anyone the right to run into the Oval Office, scream and yell at the President, and then expect to face no consequences for printing lies or slanderous claims.
🚨JUST PURE TRUTH: Trump has shown that Democrats have been lying for years about noncitizens voting in elections
NOTE from VNV: And this does not include the 1,756 noncitizens who VOTED in Virginia in the last several years. There's no telling how many noncitizens who did NOT self-attest have voted.
"For years, Democrats have consistently denied that illegal immigrants were voting in elections in the United States. Whenever a left-wing legislator discussed the topic of illegal immigrants voting in the nation’s elections, such concerns were always arrogantly dismissed. Those expressing regular concerns or insisting it was happening were often mocked, ridiculed, and branded as delusional conspiracy theorists. As such, since illegal immigrants voting in elections 'never happens,' Democrats have repeatedly said there is no need for voter identification laws."
"However, the thing that Democrats say never happens happened again — again. A 'Mexican alien' was arrested after an investigation discovered he had voted in past elections. Homeland Security Investigations arrested Ludwig Uriel Espejo-Carrillo and 'administratively charged him with unlawful voting and false claim to U.S. citizenship.' Espejo-Carrillo became a lawful permanent resident in 2013 and voted illegally in an election as far back as 2015, according to the Department of Homeland Security. And federal law stipulates that 'non-citizens, including permanent legal residents, cannot vote in federal, state, and most local elections.'"...
"Furthermore, this means that, at the bare minimum, the thing that Democrats say 'never happens' has been happening for at least a decade." ...

Gov. @SarahHuckabee: "I think it's hard for you to argue against a free press when you're literally standing in the Oval Office asking questions of the President of the United States. He has been more accessible and easier to talk to than any President in history."
Ilhan Omar says guns are too easy to get in America.
Then police reportedly pulled guns and ammunition from the apartment where her son lives.
Her son was not arrested.
The roommate was.
And that distinction matters.
Because the roommate is described as having a lengthy criminal record.
So if this is the kind of person gun control is supposed to stop…
what new law was going to do it?
The legal gun owner goes to the counter.
Fills out the forms.
Passes the background check.
Pays the fees.
Waits for approval.
The criminal skips all of that.
That is the part politicians never want to sit with.
Their laws land on the person who follows the law.
Not the person already going around it.
Then a reporter asked Ilhan Omar about what happened.
Nothing.
Not a word.
Ask about somebody else’s tragedy, and there is a speech ready.
Ask about guns in her own son’s apartment, and suddenly the microphone disappears.
So here is the real question:
Do gun bans stop criminals, or do they mostly create more rules for the people already following them?
More horrors from Abigail Spanberger’s criminal first, victims last parole after they released a felon who served only 1/5TH of sentence for the rape, sodomy & malicious wounding of an innocent Virginian. What message does this send to victims & to the next offender?
Are you sick of RNC text messages? They need to be adjusted in a legal proceeding. They spam text from different numbers multiple times a day. You tell them to stop and they text you from a different number. This abusive practice must end. Do three things
1 Text “stop” to 80810
2. Text “stop to 94646
3. Send this message to this email address (cut and paste the below message and add your phone number to the end):
[email protected]
I am exercising the express right under the RNC Mobile Messaging Terms and Conditions to opt out of the entire Program. I have already replied STOP to 80810 and 94646, and both programs confirmed that I was unsubscribed and would receive no further messages. I now revoke all consent to receive any calls, SMS, MMS, automated, autodialed, recurring, political, news, donation, affiliate, vendor, or other messages from the Republican National Committee, its affiliates, contractors, and service providers. Please suppress my number globally from the entire Program and confirm completion by email.
My telephone number is:
———-
If you get any political texts from the RNC after doing these three things - let me know by direct message for further evaluation. Do not delete any communications you send out or they send back.
I think we have the answer as to why @GovernorVA refuses to turn over Virginia’s voter rolls to the Trump Administration.
Now that Virginia is not allowed to vote by mail this November and “Dear Abby” is having a meltdown over it, I bet the results will be different.
🚨 BOMBSHELL: RFK Jr. said Democrats abandoned every traditional value for one policy… sociopathic, blind hatred of Donald Trump.
They were so sure Trump hate alone could win that they turned government into incompetence and corruption.
IT’S SANE VERSUS INSANE.
He said they fleeced medical agencies for about $100 billion a year under Biden, somehow lost 360,000 children, and turned federal power into a trafficking nightmare. His father and uncle would not recognize the party. Lawfare hit Trump 50 times in 38 states, and they sued RFK in 12 states. After he endorsed Trump and tried to leave ballots, they sued to KEEP him on. They canceled primaries, locked out debates, and anointed Kamala with no primary votes. Party of no kings. Queen by decree.
That is why he is here. Common sense over communism. Restore democracy for real.
Next year, maybe, but they will be expensive, probably 85-100k, a bit pricey for a maid but then again I’m not in that category that I need a maid. Probably in two or three years they will have that cost down to a more affordable retail price tag for the consumer. At about 5’8” and a weight of 125 lbs, I’ll bet it could climb a latter, paint your house, trim your bushes and/or help out with the yard work besides just being a maid 😁
You can’t make this up.
Sanctuary politicians are taking Americans’ hard earned tax dollars to reward illegal aliens who break the law.
This insanity shows once again who they put first.
This should have been done long ago. So sick of Congress acting like they rule over us! They work for us but have managed to conveniently forget this!!
President Trump is asking everyone to share this, in three days, most people in the United States will have seen the message. This is an idea that should be passed around, regardless of political party.
The TRUMP Rules:
1. Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And no more perks go with them.
2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise at the same rate as the COLA for monthly Social Security recipients minus 1% if having a budget balance deficit.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system (Medicare) as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege, NOT a career.
The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies. Term limits of 2 terms and treat them like a regular citizen.
OK. So I'm getting lots of pushback about my concerns regarding J.D. Vance's proposal to pay working moms to stay home. In general, I would love for every mom to be home. Here are my issues with this program:
1) Does this continue until the kid turns 18? What if the mom wants to stay home and homeschool? It would need to continue that long, right?
2) Is this $9K per child? You saw what LBJ's idea did... encouraged many women esp. in low income communities to have babies for the sole intent of increasing their welfare check. I want more babies, too, but I want us to foster makers not takers.
3) I understand that it's not a new tax. But the original program was created to fund childcare facilities. You saw what happened... runaway fraud in the learing centers! Do you think that this will decrease fraud? People are creative, and they will figure out a way to game the system. No question. If the government wants to help the economy and increase wealth, get rid of the tax period and refund it to the people, all people.
4) Is this a function of government? Not in my opinion. It is socialism, straight up. So in general I oppose programs that redistribute wealth, but I do see this as a way to help families. I just don't see it as the best way.
5) If they enact it, it needs to encourage the family unit... mom, dad, kids. I don't see it doing that. Divorce and the death of one parent are inevitable. It is not an incentive to grow familes.
6) Wasn't the child tax credit on our federal income tax supposed to be the answer to the cost of raising kids? That has morphed into a given, no longer considered a benefit. And so it will be with any amount of money that is given to the people from the taxpayers. It will merely prolong the need to collect more taxes, and it will grow as the population grows.
That's it. If I think of anything else, I'll post below. And mind you, I have great empathy and admiration for every woman who chooses to stay at home and raise children. I won't freak out if this is passed, but my preference would be to stop the wealth redistribution and refund the tax to everyone.
Feel free to disagree. I love hearing all your opinions. Please try to maintain civil discourse and refrain from vulgarity and name-calling. Thanks. Even if you disagree, I can handle it, and I still love you!❤️
While we’re at it maybe it’s time someone to explain where all the Discretionary Funds from the Lottery go as well. Last time I checked it was over a quarter million so far this year. Both sides have no answer when it comes to this question but say the public doesn’t understand how that money is spent. I think it’s time we found out before getting fleeced by another slush fund project, which is what this 1% tax really seems to be.
@TeamZissou You only think that because of the information you’ve been given on Data Centers. Here’s another perspective from Doug Servey who owns Data Centers in Iowa, https://t.co/g548qOjHRL
