The government cannot solve your problems.
Communism through (my) ages:
1) When I was 15, a teacher told me "It isn't as bad as they say, and makes a lot of sense."
2) At about 19, college friends, "Socialism isn't communism."
3) At 20, on meeting my grandfather-in-law, "They are evil. We escaped in 1949."
4) At 30, "China is a wonderful developing Democracy"
5) At 35, I was sent to communist China on business. It was a crowded, smelly, dirty, factory of despair and hopelessness. This I saw with my own eyes.
6) At 36, "China doesn't count. Successful socialism is in northern Europe."
7) I moved to northern Europe when I was 40. It was much nicer than China, but also felt like I was living in the past. I had to wait 6 months for a hernia operation.
8) When I was about 45, the migrant crisis began. The socialist/globalist/pacifist allowed them entry into every country, regardless how many crimes they committed along the way. Just 20 minutes from my house, in Calais, I was shocked to see migrants jumping onto trucks, breaking open the doors, scattering the contents across the highway, then climbing in. They went through the Chunnel and got out in England.
9) At 52, the soft socialism around me had transformed into globalism. I was told I had to call people by their preferred pronouns, though it was a lie, and even if I didn't know what the preferences were. I quit.
10) I returned to the US, and am now 60. "Socialism" is no longer a dirty word here. People openly espouse the virtues of it. Politicians run as socialists and win.
Socialism has taken many forms, from the Bolshevism of Russia, to the CCP in China, the Nazis in Germany, Fascists in Italy, and the many forms of it found in Latin America. It is one of the two most destructive ideologies on earth. It is designed to deprive, despirit, and murder everything that comes in contact with it.
Socialism is a great lie at every level. It helps no one, not even those who benefit the most. This is because the cost is the imposition of one's will on everyone else, and that destroys the soul of the usurper and the life of the oppressed.
Socialism always fails on its own, but only after destroying almost everything in its train. It can also be conquered. Those are the options.
“The American people decide who controls Congress…”
Correct.
And the Supreme Court decides whether the Constitution still means anything when politicians try to redraw maps, sort citizens by race, and engineer outcomes they politically prefer.
Calling constitutional limits “far right extremism” because the Court rejected race based district manipulation is exactly why Americans are exhausted with modern Democrats.
The Constitution does not belong to Democrats.
The courts do not exist to guarantee one party permanent power.
And Black Americans are not political property to be carved into racial voting blocks for electoral leverage.
If your political strategy collapses the moment race can no longer be the PRIMARY factor in districting… maybe the problem is the strategy itself.
Democrats scream “democracy” right up until the Constitution interrupts them.

@Budget At pick up, the car fuel was at 1/4. I called and was told it was noted on rental. Mentioned it at return too. I put fuel in up to 1/2 a tank. Got charged anyway. It's kind of a #scam to tell me the tank is full when it's at a 1/4 and then charge me. Never again.
@NevadaLiberty64@mattvanswol The underlying issue is why they feel they have the right to act like uncivilized animals? LACK OF FEAR DUE TO LACK OF CONSEQUENCES! GenX was one of the least supervised generations in history, yet we KNEW there was a line / where it was, and NOT to cross it.
@GreatLakerLargo@MattWalshBlog This situation shows exactly why minimum wages are not necessary. She is finding out the market dictates wages, not the government.
@WyzeCam Your support team just worked an issue for me. They can't figure it out, so they said they are just going to close the ticket and I should watch out for firmware updates. Really?? I have a significant investment in your products. This is how you handle issues?
@WyzeCam I loved your cameras, right up until today. Now one of my cameras gives me a "failed to load from cloud storage" when I try to view event video. ☹️
