TODAY'S LESSON IN IRONY…
THE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM IS ADMINISTERED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. THEY PROUDLY REPORT THAT THEY DISTRIBUTE 40 BILLION FREE MEALS & FOOD STAMPS TO OVER 37 MILLION PEOPLE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
MEANWHILE, THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, RUN BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, ASKS US, "PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS". THEIR STATED REASON FOR THIS POLICY BEING THAT..
"THE ANIMALS WILL GROW DEPENDENT ON THE HANDOUTS, AND THEN THEY WILL NEVER LEARN TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES".
THIS CONCLUDES TODAY'S LESSON.
ANY QUESTIONS?
HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible],
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent], and
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though. Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so — but it’s worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?
Shouldn’t the rich pay their fair share? Isn’t it time to tax the rich? Progressives have said this before. They enacted a tax on the wealthy, claiming only the rich would pay. How did that turn out for working families? Watch and share. Beware of the left’s latest tax scheme.
Remember when the Democrats REFUSED to stand for the safety of American citizens over illegal aliens?
Democrats couldn’t be more clear— they don’t care about you at all.
We need to vote THIS WEEK and fully fund ICE and CBP to keep AMERICANS safe.
🚨 This one hits different! Watch to the end — this is epic & fantastic! 🔥
The hypocrisy on display here is wild. Congress requires ID to vote on bills, but some fight tooth and nail against it for the rest of us? What do you think? 👇
History warns us:
Men fight for liberty and win it with blood and hard knocks.
Their children, raised in comfort and ease, let that hard-won freedom slip away.
And their grandchildren wake up… once more slaves.
Leaving the LD10 event this afternoon, I waited for a few minutes as a coal unit train headed up to Canada.
These trains start in the Midwest and come west through WA along the Columbia River gorge. In Clark County, they turn north and head to Canada along the WA coast. They could have terminated at Longview and transferred the coal onto boats to Asia.
But Jay Inslee & the WA Democrats' threw a tantrum about "coal dust" and whined that WA shouldn't be part of a "dirty industry." So, these unit trains move coal through HUNDREDS OF EXTRA MILES of western WA on their way to British Columbia. Whose ports welcomed the transfer business and the longshoreman jobs that come with it.
Meanwhile, Washingtonians sit with their cars and trucks idling as the units trains move north. Multiple times, every day.
All to indulge the sanctimony of a few morons.
The California Governor’s town hall debate that aired last Tuesday had a moderator that threatened to pull the plug if the Democrats on stage blamed Trump or even brought up his name. She forced them to discuss what policies they would enact to fix what they broke.
“Get Trump” is not going to fix this disaster of a state made possible ONLY BY THE DEMOCRATS and their one party rule.
California Democrats,
Time for real change!
Vote Republican and see RESULTS!
(Thanks Bob)
Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today’s self-implosion by @rosadelauro was quite remarkable to witness. Without apology or regret, I will always adhere to the best available reading of federal statute pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright.
I think it’s hilarious that Democrats spent their political might and tons of money on "NO KINGS" protests just to give a standing ovation to the LITERAL King of England.
You really can’t make this stuff up.
Biggest bullshit artists of the century. 😂
My favorite part of King Charles appearing before Congress was the part where all the liberals who refused to stand or applaud for Angel Moms or a kid with cancer, and who constantly scream “NO KINGS!” give a 3 minute standing ovation for a literal king. 🙃
What a bunch of disingenuous hypocrites.
I was sitting at a bar last night with a friend in a liberal part of California. Three people nearby were talking about the shooter and President Trump—and it was clear they weren’t upset about it.
My friend turned to them and asked, “Do you think it’s okay to be violent toward people you hate? If someone doesn’t like you, would you think it’s fine to shoot them?” They immediately said no. But then one of the women asked if my friend was a Trump supporter and launched into a rant about how he’s destroying the country and was Epstein’s best friend—a pedophile.
These people are completely brainwashed. I told my friend it was pointless and to stop engaging with her. This is exactly what the mainstream media in our country has done to so many people.
Barack Hussein Obama wasted $34 million and 18 months on a failed attempt to fix the leaking Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris then proposed a staggering $300 million and 3 years for the exact same job. Donald Trump solved the entire problem for just $2 million using a simple industrial coating.
This is the difference between leftist career politicians and a real leader. The establishment throws hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars at problems and delivers nothing but excuses and failure. Donald Trump cuts through the bureaucracy, ignores the nonsense, and actually gets results.
On average Members of Congress make 600% returns on their stock portfolio and that is simply because they are privy to inside information. Everybody knows it, yet when I introduced bipartisan legislation to ban stock trading in Congress, Hakeem Jeffries blocked it.
Yet if normal civilians, or in this case, military members engage in insider trading they face decades in jail??? I’ve had it with the two tiered system on justice when it comes to corruption on Capitol Hill.
