78, widower, looking for friends, DM's welcome. Don't ask for money, you will be blocked. Don't send me links. I will block you. Must have face in profile pix.

๐ญ Every factory that closes leaves scars.
Jobs disappear. Families move away. Small businesses struggle. Entire communities lose part of their identity.
President Trump's tariff adjustments are designed to strengthen steel, aluminum, and copper production while encouraging investment in American manufacturing.
For many working-class towns, this isn't about politics. It's about survival.

๐จBOOM - THIS is the kind of leader America needs!
Rep. Brandon Gill - the youngest Republican in Congress, proudly representing Texasโs 26th District - is a true patriot who loves this country more than he cares about political correctness.
Not only is Brandon an incredible person with the most lovely wife and beautiful family, but heโs the real deal: a man of faith, hard work, and courage who refuses to bow to the nonsense.
Tonight... he said it straight:
โ82% of Somali immigrants in Minnesota are on welfare. Thatโs just a fact. Thatโs the reality. I said, sir, does that make America better off? I donโt think it does.โ
When a man started babbling about โcultural enrichmentโ and โdiversity,โ Brandon shut it down with the truth:
โDiversity in and of itself is not a strength. Our greatest strength comes from a shared sense of values and a shared vision for where our country is going.โ
Texas and America are lucky to have him.
Trump is doing it all. Check it out, we just eliminated the leader of Tren de Aragua at a hideout in Venezuela. Winning.
Making America Safe Again ๐ฏ
This woman needs to sit down and shut up. She has no place talking. Is that proposed "wealth tax" going to apply to her as well? And corporations don't actually ever pay taxes. The taxes they do pay are simply added back into the cost of products and services.
So @elonmusk became da first trillionaire.
Just for dose who no unnerstand how he did it. 5 year old version.

He no rob bank or win lottery.
He just builded things dat make da world better n got rich from da value he made.

Something governments and social media companies need to take seriously is the rise of the "challenge" culture.
We're seeing videos circulating of black people randomly punching or slapping innocent white people while claiming they're "on the jury" for the Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf case. Whether it's being done for attention, clout, political messaging, or internet fame, the underlying problem is the same.
When young people see others gain views, likes, and notoriety for antisocial behavior, some will inevitably copy it.
Today it's a slap or a punch.
Tomorrow it's something more serious.
The danger isn't just the individual incident. The danger is the normalization of targeting innocent people for entertainment, politics, or social media engagement. History shows that when bad behavior is rewarded instead of condemned, it spreads.
Social media companies have spent years claiming they want to reduce harmful content. Governments regularly talk about public safety and preventing violence. If that's true, then trends that encourage random assaults on strangers should be treated seriously before they escalate.
No civilized society can function if people are afraid of being targeted in public because of a viral trend, a political grievance, or a social media challenge.
The vast majority of people - regardless of race - don't support this nonsense. But ignoring it, excusing it, or pretending it isn't happening only creates space for more dangerous behavior to emerge.
Bad ideas don't disappear when they're ignored.
They grow.
If Iran is acting this erratically and defiantly during peace talks after President Trump sunk their entire Navy, decapitated their senior leadership, and destroyed their air defenses, just imagine how pathetic the nuclear deal was that Obama gave to them if they agreed to it.
HORRIFYING: Eight pro-Palestinian students at the University of Michigan have been indicted for allegedly vandalizing the homes of and plotting to poison and murder members and families of the local Jewish and pro-Israeli community.
The opposite would never happen, but can you imagine if it did? The country would be in an uproar. Unfortunately, the extreme violence and terrorism of the pro-Palestinian movement have been too normalized.
Even worse, one of them is a former staffer for Abdul El-Sayed, the Muslim candidate for Senate in Michigan.
They are now facing up to 20 years in prison.

The budget speech will not tell you about this:
"$8.7 billion subsidies for the rich and entitled in Pakistan are rarely discussed nor subject to parliamentary approval or oversight. To understand how large these numbers are, consider this: they exceed the entire federal development budget. They are larger than Pakistanโs annual spending on health and education combined. And here is the killer: in a single year, Pakistan gives away more in tax exemptions than it borrows from the IMF over three years.
This is how the system works. Tax the people. Exempt the powerful. Organised interests lobby for exemptions. The executive grants them through SROs. Parliament never votes. The FBR publishes sectoral totals that obscure more than they reveal. The IMF demands reform. The government commits. The exemptions remain. The people bear the burden. The cycle repeats. The Tax Expenditure Report 2025 shows us what we lose: $8.7 billion annually. It does not show us who gains. But we know."
