@USCCB Why aren’t their countries safe? Is it the general behavior of the people? Is it the leadership? Have u admonished that leadership to the degree u admonish everyday Americans for another country’s “safety”?
@dbongino@GavinNewsom@grok Now combine income + (employer and individual) Medicare + Social Security taxes. At least it would be more honest than restricting discussion to just “income”.
@WildeJessa@AGJamesUthmeier@FBI@FBIDirectorKash Your implied accusation is that Uthmeier is boasting “of himself”, not being a good steward, and not using the authority of his office for the good of others. Actually, he is describing the official authority’s legal use for the good of the community.
@dbongino Social Security tax rate is 6.2% for both employees and employers, totaling 12.4%, while the Medicare tax rate is 1.45% for both employees and employers, totaling 2.9%. For 2026, the wage base limit for Social Security is $184,500.
@dbongino But they get out of paying a large percentage of social security and Medicare tax. People who work regular jobs lose 15.3 percent of their income to both of those. Plus, pay income taxes.
Most people are taught a very simple story about American slavery.
But history is messier.
Anthony Johnson, a Black man from Angola, arrived in Virginia in 1621 as an indentured servant. He gained his freedom, became a landowner — and in 1655 won a court case to keep his
Black servant John Casor as his slave for life. This helped set an early legal precedent for chattel slavery.
In 1830 there were 3,775 free Black slave owners holding ~12,760 enslaved people.
Did you know this part of the story?
Does it change how you see the “simple” version we’re usually taught?

@SenatorWarnock Says the man who thinks any person’s pocket/wallet/bank account has room for D.C. politicians to take the contents by threat of prison and redistribute as the politicians see fit.
