It seems like there is a particularly extraordinary amount of suffering, sorrow, and heaviness that so many people are experiencing right now.

May Jesus bring light, peace, comfort, and strength to the deepest places of every heart at this time.

Jesus, we trust in you.

A woman dies at age 65 before collecting one benefit check. She and her employer paid into the system for almost 50 years and she collected NOTHING. Keep in mind all the working people that die every year who were paying into the system and got nothing.

And these governmental morons mismanaged the money and stole from the system, so that it's now going broke. BEAUTIFUL! And they have the audacity to call today's seniors "vultures" in an attempt to cover their ineptitude. DISGRACEFUL!

The real reason for renaming our Social Security payments is so the government can claim that all those social security recipients are receiving entitlements thus putting them in the same category as welfare, and food stamp recipients.

THIS IS WORTH THE FEW MINUTES IT TAKES TO READ AND DIGEST!

F.Y.I. By changing the name of SS contributions, it gives them a means to refute this program in the future. It's free money for the government to spend under this guise. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a Federal Benefit Payment ?
I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you.

Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.

The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This is NOT a benefit. It is OUR money, paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too! It totaled 15% of our income before taxes. (This should be enough for you to forward this message, If not read on.)

If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved.

This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month.

That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it's a fact). And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts. Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff (or Lyndon Johnson) ever did! They took our money and used it elsewhere. They "forgot" (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them...and they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. (Isn't it funny that they NEVER say this about welfare payments?) But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a benefit, as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. This is stealing! Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't mean that our investments were for charity!

Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government. Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of the 92% of our population who need it.

Call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just posted this video of Charlie Kirk talking about the Islamic takeover of America. Charlie's message needs to be spread FAR and WIDE.

"There's something wrong when you have a Muslim Marxist mayor of New York City! We don't talk enough about Islam...we don't talk nearly enough about the Islamist. We don't talk nearly enough about the hundreds of thousands of Muslims that we have voluntarily imported into our country that build mosques, implement Sharia law."

"The women of the West, they get cats, the women of Muslims, they have eight kids. Eventually it doesn't work very well. It's just a bunch of math. The women of the West have abortions, the women of Muslims, have entire communities they can fill."

"We're going to take this country back and restore it once and for all...We're simply calling out their hate, and we're meeting their hate with a nice one-way ticket back to Mogadishu."

"This nation founded as a Christian nation has been given a new birth of freedom by the grace of God on July 13th when Donald Trump could have had his brains blown out. But by this couple millimeters, we have a nation and a republic that should invigorate you and fire you up to go out from this place and to save this nation for righteous and just purposes."

Do you support this?

The mainstream media does not want you to SHARE this!

[Miranda Devine @mirandadevine]

Beautiful, gracious, courageous, good Erika Kirk. We see clearly why Charlie chose her to be his wife. The most powerful, bravest speech I have ever witnessed.
"My husband Charlie, he wanted to save young men just like the one who took his life.
"Jesus on the Cross said: 'Father forgive them for they do not know what they do'...
"That young man, I forgive him.
"I forgive him because that is what Christ did.
"That is what Charlie would do.
"The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know from the Gospel is love. Love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us."

[PeterSweden @PeterSweden7]

Millions are hearing about Jesus because of what happened to Charlie Kirk.

In the last 2000 years, tyrants and dictators have tried to silence Christianity.

They always fail.

Because the Gospel has only grown stronger with persecution.

Be bold for Jesus 💪

[A Gene Robinson @AlBuffalo2nite]

I’ve sat through over 50 hours of Charlie Kirk’s videos as an ethnically Black American.

Not one racist word.

Not 1.

What Democrats do is cut snippets, strip context, and shove sound bites at the same gullible slob audience too lazy to fact-check.

That isn’t exposing racism .. it’s manufacturing lies to spark division.

There was an audible GASP in this stadium when @MrsErikaKirk said she forgives her husband’s assassin.

An unbelievable moment.

I cannot believe it. I cannot comprehend it.

An amazing woman.

@GrietjeReyniers @gatorgar Please don’t feel that way about the Catholic Church. One priest doesn’t represent the whole Catholic community. If you are a Catholic respect and appreciate the Eucharist and Holy sacrifice of the Mass.

[David Limbaugh @DavidLimbaugh]

I can't remember a gathering with a number of of speakers so consistently presenting the saving message of Jesus Christ -- the Gospel. What a blessing this has been. Closest thing to a national, perhaps global revival, that we've witnessed in decades.

NEW:

MUST READ!!!!!

🚨 Urgent Intelligence Alert: NCTC Confirms Al Qaeda Presence on U.S. Soil, Imminent Multi-City Islamic Terror Attacks 🚨

Sources tell me tonight that the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) has officially determined that Islamic terrorists affiliated with Al Qaeda have infiltrated U.S. soil and are actively planning a series of coordinated Islamic terror attacks. This marks the first time federal counterterrorism officials have openly acknowledged the immediacy of such threats, signaling a potential escalation in domestic jihadist activity not seen since the height of ISIS-inspired plots in the mid-2010s.

According to NCTC's latest assessment, shared in a classified briefing to congressional leaders and leaked today, Al Qaeda cells, emboldened by the group's resurgence in Afghanistan and the North and Central Africa, have embedded themselves across major urban centers in the US. This has been confirmed intercepted communications, financial tracking, and human intelligence. Sources tell me this is a sophisticated operation aimed at maximizing casualties and chaos.

🚨 Indicators of Preparation: Uniforms, Hospitals, and Deception Tactics 🚨

My sources tell me the attack strategy by Al Qaeda is designed to sow confusion and cripple emergency response. These terrorists have been purchasing large quantities of police and first-responder uniforms from surplus outlets and online vendors in at least five states. These acquisitions, traced through bulk credit card anomalies and CCTV footage, suggest a plan to impersonate law enforcement during the assaults—allowing attackers to blend in, direct panicked crowds, or even execute secondary strikes on fleeing victims.

My sources tell me the Al Qaeda terror attack plans in the US are focused on hospitals and medical facilities. NCTC even has evidence that these terrorists are “scoping" emergency rooms, trauma centers, and triage points in cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Miami. The intent appears clear: disrupt healthcare infrastructure to prevent treatment of the wounded, effectively creating a "second wave" of fatalities through denial of care.

In the event of an attack, civilians could face a nightmarish scenario where friend and foe are indistinguishable, with medics overwhelmed and no safe haven for the injured. The potential for hundreds, if not thousands, of additional deaths in the chaos is described by one DHS source as "horrific beyond comprehension."

The plot's scale points to simultaneous strikes across multiple cities, echoing Al Qaeda's historical ambitions for mass casualty operations like 9/11 but adapted for urban guerrilla tactics. Targets could include soft sites such as crowded events, transportation hubs, and public gatherings.

We are under attack.

Al Qaeda Islamic terrorists disguised as first responders are planning to attack US cities and our hospitals.

Where are our lawmakers to address this growing threat of Islamic terror in the US?

[Terrence K. Williams @w_terrence]

You don’t have to mourn Charlie Kirk. Nobody is asking you to pretend you loved him or agreed with him.

But what we are asking is simple: stop being cruel. Stop celebrating his death. Stop mocking a man’s grieving wife as she faces the most heartbreaking days of her life.

Disagree with his politics if you want, that’s freedom. But dancing on his grave, ridiculing his family’s pain, and making a mockery of loss? That’s not freedom, that’s just evil.

At the very least, show a shred of human decency

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Cardinal Dolan says he spent the past week studying Charlie Kirk’s life, and the more he learned, the more he saw him as a modern-day Saint Paul.

A fearless missionary, a passionate evangelist, and a true hero.

“When I heard the tragic news, I said, ‘I wonder who he was.’ And then all of a sudden, this overwhelming, this overwhelming sense of sorrow and kind of renewal.”

“And I thought, I gotta learn about this guy. And the more I learned about him, I thought, this guy's a modern day Saint Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero.”

“He's one that knew what Jesus meant when he said, the truth will set you free. And to do it, Now, I understand he was pretty blunt and he was pretty direct. He didn't try to avoid any controversy. He didn't even try to avoid confrontation. The difference is the way, the mode, the style that he did it, always with respect.”

[Andrew Kolvet @AndrewKolvet]

I was just told that we have more press interest in Sunday’s celebration of Charlie Kirk’s life and legacy than there is for the Super Bowl.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is about to be proclaimed to the largest audience in the history of humanity.

To God be the Glory.
