A nation is its people. This has always been true. This will always be true.

On average, Boomers are getting paid more from Social Security than they “paid into it.” A lot more. Like double, and that’s counting inflation and interest. In raw dollars, they’ll get four to seven times what they paid in. So what about this compromise, to at least stave off insolvency and save billions: you get back what you paid in, but no more. Young families won’t be forced to finance a 250 percent return on your “investment.” That seems extremely reasonable, doesn’t it? It doesn’t go nearly as far as I would like. But it’s a very fair compromise. It completely negates any claim that you didn’t get the money back that you “paid in.” And yet I suspect that this comprise will not be satisfactory. Why is that? Because this debate actually has nothing to do with “getting back what you paid in.” The REAL demand is for a lot more than that.

Breaking News: Journalists Lie

[Call me Poyo @BunDanBaba]

I've seen this headlines more than a few times in the last 24hrs. I've seen cheering that somehow it's an Iranian victory that humbled America.

Let's put things in perspective. Because I'm an airman, and I ain't humbled yet.

Out of 81 aircraft lost or damaged, 49 are unmanned - 60.5%.

21 aircraft were lost or damaged on the ground - 25.9%

Out of manned aircraft, 1x F-15E, 1x A-10, 1x AH-64 destroyed due to enemy fire - 3.7%.

Great numbers for headlines, but lies, damned lies, and statistics... the official tally was over 10,200 sorties directly engaging in OEF over 38 days. That would represent an overall campaign attrition rate of: 00.79%.

And that's without knowing which tails were only damaged, repaired, and got back into the fight!

Additionally, while those are the official numbers, a CENTCOM Air Tasking Order numbers in the hundreds (if not thousands) of lines a day. So it's reasonable to believe that overall campaign attrition rate is lower.

Finally, it's an apples-to-oranges comparison, but it must be recalled that FY26 loss of 50 aircraft involved in Class A mishaps. These are aircraft lost or damaged without a shot being fired. Aviation is inherently dangerous, afterall.

Now, I have a vested interest in not seeing my Air Force destroyed. And I've lost too many fellow airmen over the years to ever care to see one more loss.

But these headlines must be seen with a greater perspective! And less political bias.

Otherwise, we do injustice to my aviators and support personnel across the Joint Force who threw iron into the air and completely smashed the IRIAF within a narrow window.

@AGAlanWilson .., “I’ll eliminate the income tax, cut property taxes, rein in spending, and make South Carolina more affordable.” Looking forward to working with @AGAlanWilson and @MikeForSC to achieve these goals. It can be done!

[Alan Wilson @AGAlanWilson]

South Carolina farmers feed our families and fuel our economy.

Food security is national security. As Governor, I’ll fight to protect family farms, lower costs, and make it easier to get South Carolina products to market.

Our farmers deserve a Governor who has their back.

[Alan Wilson @AGAlanWilson]

South Carolina needs better roads without higher taxes.

As Governor, I’ll audit DOT from top to bottom, cut outdated processes, modernize how we build, and make sure your tax dollars actually make it to our roads and bridges.

Not just big roads. Backroads too.

[Alan Wilson @AGAlanWilson]

Tonight, I had the opportunity to ask my opponent a simple question:

Six years in the legislature. 70 bills as a primary sponsor. Not one became law. Nearly 700 missed votes.

If you couldn’t deliver in the job you have, how can South Carolinians expect you to deliver as Governor?

[April Cromer @AprilCromerSC]

South Carolinians are tired of being told things are affordable while grocery bills, insurance, housing, and utility costs keep rising. Alan Wilson will put taxpayers first, NOT the lobbyists and insiders who benefit from the status quo. He has a plan to make SC safer and more affordable.

[Alan Wilson @AGAlanWilson]

GOOD EVENING, SOUTH CAROLINA.

Too many families across our state are working hard and still struggling to make ends meet.

As Governor, I’ll bring a new generation of leadership to upend the status quo and make South Carolina safer and more affordable for you and your family.

It's not a Great Replacement Theory, it's a Great Replacement Reality.

Just this year, 3.6 million foreigners will invade America.

10-15 million will enter by the end of Joe Biden's term.

Each will probably have 3-5 kids on average while native born Americans have 1.5 per couple.

You are being replaced, by design. Truly the most depressing story we cover.

[Erika Donalds @ErikaDonalds]

Unlimited loans allowed colleges to charge unlimited prices.

@EDSecMcMahon put caps in place, and suddenly, schools found room to cut tuition by $20,000.

The taxpayer blank check is OVER.

Contrary to popular belief, Gen Z is not the primary incubator of socialism in our country today.

[Tarheel Constitutionalist @GrantMa25066011]

Boomer luxury communism must end. The boomers can pull themselves up by their bootstraps once we take their precious entitlements away.

[Southern Sentinel Society @SentinelSocSC]

Social Security is a Scam. Boomer politicians refuse to fix the problems that Boomer welfare creates and it’s going to rug-pull your retirement.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Social Security is a promise.

You work hard, pay into the system, and get the benefits you've earned at retirement.

But now, the Social Security trust fund is projected to run out in 2032.

I’m fighting to protect Social Security for the next generation.

[Southern Sentinel Society @SentinelSocSC]

It’s funny how boomers will say that GenZ is lazy then turn around and demand we bankroll their retirement. Can’t have it both ways.
