BREAKING: Marco Rubio just said the quiet part out loud.

Americans work 40+ years…

Pay taxes.
Follow the rules.
Build the country.

Then retire on $800, $900, maybe $1,000 a month.

Meanwhile, new arrivals can allegedly receive more support from the same system they never paid into.

Read that again.

The people who built America are being pushed to the back of the line.

This is not compassion.
This is a government priority problem.
America First was never just a slogan.
It was a warning.

Who comes first?

The taxpayer… or the system?

WOAH 🚨 Homeless women living on Skid Row in Los Angeles says someone came and had her fill out a ballot for Karen Bass

They told her who to vote for and then paid her $2 for the vote

She says “they come out here all the time” to get votes for Democrats

“They told you to vote for Karen?”

“Yeah, had to sign a little thing”

“And how much they pay you?”

“Just like $2”

“$2 to sign off on a thing to vote for her?”

“Yeah. All right, so they do this for everybody out here?”

“Yeah, they come out here all the time.”

This is exactly what James O’Keefe and Cam Higby have been exposing

Democrats have a massive voter fraud network in California

🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: Minnesota Democrats on the fraud committee have BLOCKED a subpoena into Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar's involvement in a $250M fraud scandal

She is refusing to turn over ANY documents regarding her fraud activities

DEMOCRATS ARE PROTECTING FRAUD.

"Investigators want to see her communications with a convicted ringleader of the theft from $250 million in COVID funds, that particular part of the probe. That money was meant to feed hungry children."

MICHELLE TAFOYA: "She has remained somewhat untouchable here in Minnesota. I'm not sure why that is. I'm not sure why we don't hold all of our suspected wrongdoers to account!"

"There is so much smoke here, and I want to find the fire."

Holy smokes, the DHS appropriations bill would increase the total effective cap for H-2B from 66,000 to an estimated 252,342.

They're increasing the flow of cheap visa labor into a collapsing job market.

Better.[com]’s Indian CEO, Vishal Garg, fired 10k Americans. He fired 900 of them in a 79-second Zoom call. Not a single Indian employee was fired that day. The company still has over 2,300 H-1Bs in America.

🚨OH. MY. GOSH!!!

A "family festival" in suburban Kansas City was overrun with "teens" who began BEATING POLICE OFFICERS and UNLEASHED BEAR SPRAY on attendees.

The fire department kept coming back to treat people who couldn't breathe.

It took 3 POLICE AGENCIES to get the crowd under control and during a foot chase, officers recovered a 3D-PRINTED GHOST GUN off another juvenile.

Only two teens were detained and then released to their parents.

This is the THIRD YEAR IN A ROW teens have hijacked this festival.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!

Here is a black woman beating an Asian lady for not accepting her EBT card at a nail salon.

These videos come out regularly. And yet blacks online are still gaslighting us that Asians are somehow the hateful ones targeting the black community.

🚨Today, an innocent Penn State student was shot dead in cold blood for his phone in South Philly by black men!

A 22-year-old college kid named Billy Schmidt was brutally murdered right outside his home. He was walking back from watching the NBA Finals when two black men tried to rob him for his phone. Billy chased them, and one coward black man shot him in the chest. He died at the hospital. No arrests yet.

This senseless killing in South Philadelphia shows how out of control black men’s street crime has become. Hard-working young people can’t even walk home safely anymore. Billy had his whole life ahead of him – now it’s gone because of garbage black men who think they can steal and kill without consequence.

Enough is enough. Police need to catch these black men fast and lock these black men up for good. Our cities are bleeding because of black men.

Gilligan’s Island wasn’t really a comedy. It was a weekly documentary about what happens when the smartest guy and the toughest guy spend all day cleaning up after the same guy.

Fifty years later, the island got bigger, the problems got more expensive, and the storyline still feels strangely familiar. 😆

[Sowell Economics @sowelleconomics]

Thomas Sowell: "I was just doing some research on Detroit and it's decline, as they kept raising the city income tax, the revenues kept falling.

Barack Obama was asked by Charles Gibson in 2008, why he wanted to raise the tax rate because he will raise more revenue if he does the opposite, and his response was that, 'it's a matter of social justice'. He didn't care about the consequences.

If he can get people to be mad at the rich and vote for him, it's a political success. He doesn't care whether the government collects more revenues or not."

This is the real reason crime is down in Los Angeles

Samantha lives in LA and has had to call 911 for the police four times

Call 1: A homeless person was trying to break into her apartment building. She was outside of her building while it was happening. She called 911, “I was placed on hold for about 10 minutes, and then they told me that since the person was homeless, they would not be sending the cops out, that they would try to get like homeless intervention people out, and it would take no less than an hour”

This was no help

Call 2: This one's really messed up. She watched a 80 year old man “get the sh*t beat out of him” by like a 20 year old. “Like bad, repeatedly, and this kid had his phone out the whole time, was recording it, like beat the shit out of this old, old, old man in the middle of the street, in the middle of Sunset Boulevard. This old man is like lying there bleeding everywhere, and I called the police and nobody came.”

Call 3: Her car was being broken into and someone was attention to steal it. “I waited on hold for 40 minutes before someone picked up and said, "Oh, you have to do that online." She was told how to categorize the incident. They told her wrong and it her police report was rejected. She called back and they said “There’s nothing they can do” and “nothing will be done”

Call 4: “A tweaker was loitering and tweaking outside my apartment for hours and eventually trying to break into it” After he was in the process of trying to break in she called 911 and after 3 hours nobody showed but but they called back to check on her. The man was gone, the cops didn’t help

Crime rates aren’t down in Los Angeles. Residents are just no longer reporting them because this is the response

We see this over and over again

Tonight I feel like telling my @AmericanAir story, because they deserve it.

My parents both have dementia, actually my Dad has Alzheimers and my Mom has dementia.

When they needed to get to a funeral for a family member, it was clear someone from the family needed to chaperone them to ensure safe travel, and I was happy to do that.

I booked the tickets, for the three of us, and booked wheelchair service for our American Airlines flight from Madison WI to Grand Junction CO.

When looking for flights, my only goal was to find the most convenient flight for my parents - to limit the stress of flying, traveling, in unknown places.

Typically, a United flight from MSN to Denver would be the path, with a quick jump to Grand Junction.

For the time of our flights, that would mean a six hour layover. instead, I chose to fly MSN to DFW, with a one hour and 15 minute layover.

In @MSN_Airport our wheelchairs were there, as expected, and as booked.

Being slightly nervous about our shorter connection, I asked the agents to call ahead to DFW and double check if our wheelchairs would be there, I personally overhead this call and was assured they would be there.

They were not.

And this is where things start to fall apart, get dangerous, and then fall apart again.

Our wheelchairs were not there, terminal C, we needed to get to B1. 35 minutes later, still no wheelchair - my parents (both with dementia) were allowed to get on a golf cart, to try and make the flight.

I was not allowed to go with them, because I was not "disabled". This meant my parents, who have me along purely to chaperone, were seperated from me - no clue what was going on, and I had to run - physically - to try and meet them at the gate.

We missed our flight, and as a result, missed our family funeral visitation - the sole purpose of the flight.

A couple things make this worse:

1. Once dropped at B1, and missing our flight - we still had no wheelchairs, and the golf cart left. The flight was already gone, because we were significantly late. Abandoned is the word I'd use, because a gate agent rebooked us on a flight out of gate B28, six hours later, without bothering to care we needed a way to get there - and that walk is significant.

We waited another HOUR, and got one wheelchair. Two hours later we finally had the two wheelchairs we booked.

Nothing can replace what we went through, dangerous - fear and stress - and most importantly, a missed funeral.

Americans response to this? First they offered a voucher for lunch. I declined. Next, I emailed this story to the CEO Robert Ison, who thought he could buy us for a $250 credit.

The kicker to all this? While in the air on our first flight.....American was trying to buy our seats because they oversold it, for $450 a seat. We obviously didn't accept this, because we wanted to get to the family funeral - the whole reason for our travel!

So us not taking the $450 offer per seat, meant we missed our flight, missed the funeral, experienced extreme amounts of stress - and somehow that is owrth $250 to American Airlines.

I don't want a single penny from this company, I don't want flight credits - I honestly never want to fly with them again. What I do want? For others to hear this story, for them to formally apologize to my parents, and for some type of penalty to be applied to them that is significant enough they can never treat another customer like this, ever again.
