Pardon Edward Snowden

I've been asking this for years.

We borrow money from China to send to people who want to kill us. That's not foreign policy. That's fiscal insanity.

@RokuSupport @TheRokuChannel @Roku For the 2nd time for Season 12 of The #Brokenwood Mysteries, #Roku #Channel does not have the episode available on its drop day. This has happened for Episodes 2 and 4. Since I am paying full price for @AcornTV content, this needs to be fixed.

🚨 SEC. RFK JR JUST DROPPED A BOMBSHELL:

"[They] charged us $6,000 a month for that hospice patient. How did we detect them all? Because the patients NEVER DIED."

"Hospices in Los Angeles — we've shut down 500 of them. We have not gotten *ONE CALL* from a congressperson or one call from a patient."

"Why? Because those hospices did not exist."

Gavin Newsom allowed this

Dear President Trump, Thomas Sowell is an American treasure. Please consider honoring him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I can’t think of a greater representative of American values.

For the record: Since 1997, Congress has quietly used $18.2 million of taxpayer money to settle 291 cases of sexual misconduct. These payouts have been kept hidden from the American people.

[Informed NJ Nurses @InformedNJNurse]

Patients and healthcare workers have been waiting over five years for accountability and relief from vaccine mandates, only to watch it slip away right in front of us. We were told this would be a top priority for the administration, and that placing Bobby Kennedy in a leadership role would help drive that change.

In New Jersey, thousands of nurses and healthcare professionals stood up, challenged these mandates, and in many cases, won. But the reality is, it should have never reached that point in the first place. And despite those efforts, the issue hasn’t gone away.

Nothing has changed.

Every single day, another healthcare worker or student is reaching out, still facing the same barriers, the same pressure, and the same lack of resolution. The fight isn’t over, but it’s exhausting to see so little progress after so much sacrifice.

[Steve Hilton @SteveHiltonx]

California families are getting crushed by taxes.

As Governor, my first move: make the first $100,000 of income completely tax-free.

For everyone earning above that, a simple flat 7.5% rate.

No more punishing hard work—your paycheck stays in your pocket.

Let’s make California affordable again! ☀️👊#Califordable #GoldenAgain

[The Washington Times @WashTimes]

The most popular idea — with 95% support — was raising the cap on income subject to the Social Security payroll tax. Currently, Americans only pay on about the first $185,000 of their salary or wage income, so someone making that much pays the same as someone making a million dollars a year.

@311MC311 Do residential electronics recycling pick-ups include used ink cartridges? Thank you.

[SONJA SMITH @SstKmd]

@erie_insurance Can you please re-design your paper auto insurance cards so that they are more compatible with wallet storage, such as being credit card size. This would be very helpful for customers. (The current so-called cards are much too large.) Thank you.

[Mary J. Ruwart Ph.D. @MaryRuwart]

In 1987, drug offenders made up 36% of the federal prison population. [Now it is more than 50%.]

As the War on Drugs escalates, more of our law enforcement dollar will be spent on drug-related crimes and less on rapists, murderers, and thieves. Is this the best way to deal with the drug problem?

People who drink an alcoholic beverage in the privacy of their own homes are not using first-strikeforce, theft, or fraud against anyone else.

Nor is a person smoking a joint or snorting cocaine, under the same conditions, guilty of anything more sinister than trying to feel good.

We see no contradiction in arresting the cocaine user while we enjoy our favorite cocktail.

Are we once again sanctioning aggression-through-government in an attempt to control the lives of others?

@PepcoConnect Please add the "Round Up" feature to your bill paying options so that customers can use it to contribute to the Good Neighbor Energy Fund. Both WSSC & Washington Gas offer "Round Up" and it is quick and easy to use when paying bills. Thank you.

How To Repatriate 10 Million Illegal Aliens
(A bit long but worth it)

1. End any and all kinds of welfare for anyone but American citizens. Stop gouging the taxpayers to support people who shouldn't be here.

Go through everyone getting any kind of welfare, food stamps, Section 8 housing, and require them ALL to prove their citizenship. End Emergency Medicaid for illegal aliens. Start rigorously checking for fake or forged Social Security numbers. Root out the many fraudsters claiming permanent disability.

Many of the people who are not working will self-repatriate. Nothing to keep them here.

2. Start fining and arresting people who hire illegal aliens. Make the use of e-Verify mandatory. Do spot-checks of large employers. Turn off the work spigot entirely.

Many of the people who cannot find work will self-repatriate.

3. Announce via email, TV, social media, and every other way that anyone who conceals, harbors, or shields illegal aliens from detection, including releasing illegal alien criminals back on the streets, is violating Federal law 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iii) and is subject to arrest. This includes those forcibly resisting ICE, where "forcibly" is defined in law as including blocking doorways or roads to prevent ICE access. We need every American to be aware of the laws and the penalties for any violation.

Then arrest a mayor and the City Council of a self-declared "sanctuary city" that is releasing illegal aliens to endanger the citizens and charge them under that law. Give them probation, a small fine, and suspended sentences. The point is the publicity, not the penalty.

Do that a couple of times, and the "sanctuary city" nonsense will end, the police will be overjoyed, illegal alien criminals will be sent home instead of re-infesting our streets, and crime will drop. Win-win-win-win.

4. ICE is losing the publicity battle bigtime. Hire some good people to mount a blitz to counter the endless sob stories about "families separated" and the like. For example, people should be reminded that "sanctuary cities" putting violent criminals on the streets leads to rape and murder. People should be reminded that mass repatriation will lead to:

• Less crowded schools
• Less crowded ERs
• More English speakers in schools
• Lower rents
• Higher wages
• Less crime
• Etc.

5. ICE needs more transparency. There needs to be a web page updated daily showing the physical location and the charges for convince except those without identification. It should feature lists and graphics showing the number and type of criminals arrested. Put a clock on it showing the total number who have been repatriated and the number who have self-repatriated.

And it should actively respond to each story about what ICE has done wrong with the truth and the backstory about what was done, who was arrested, and why

6. Other than that, ICE needs to keep the pressure on. The Feds offer a thousand bucks and a ticket home to anyone, with a chance to legally return. We need to convice and pressure as many people as possible to take that option.

Finally, we have to do all of this with compassion. We have to remember that we don't put up walls because we hate the people outside.

We put up walls because we love the people inside.

By socialist standards, Amazon is “too big” and must be broken up because it’s worth over $2 trillion. But the government, which is $40 trillion in the hole, which means you’re $40 trillion in the hole is somehow perfectly fine. A voluntary company with no power to compel you is a threat, but a bankrupt monopoly with unlimited power to tax, regulate, seize, and print is treated like a guardian.

Only a socialist could look at a successful business and scream “danger,” then look at the largest, most indebted institution on Earth and scream “more of that.”

[The Rabbit Hole @TheRabbitHole]

DOGE shutting down is a huge disappointment. Government is only ever growing and this seemed like a golden opportunity to reign things in.

Major L for the administration.

They could’ve done better.
