The SAVE America Act would make it (1) easy to vote, and (2) hard to cheat
There is no good reason *not* to pass it
If Democrat senators want to filibuster the SAVE America Act, we should make them work for it
We shouldn’t make filibustering it too easy

Ever notice how every new US president introduces a "spending bill" in the year after they are elected?
When Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in November 2021, the marketing was simple: $1.2 trillion to fix America's crumbling roads, bridges, and ports. The number you weren't supposed to read closely is the breakdown. Roads and bridges got roughly $110 billion. Power grid, $73 billion. Water systems, $55 billion. Add up the things a normal person actually pictures when they hear the word "infrastructure" and you land somewhere near 10 to 25 percent of the headline figure, depending on how generous you feel toward "broadband equity" and electric vehicle charging stations nobody asked for.
So where did the rest go? Into the usual sinkholes. Subsidies for politically favored industries. Climate programs. Amtrak, which has lost money every year since Nixon created it in 1971. Government does not build a railroad to move people. It builds a railroad to move money to people(it likes).
Every dollar Congress directs into a charging station or a "resilience" grant is a dollar pulled out of the spontaneous order of the market, where you and millions of strangers signal through prices what you actually want. The bridge in your town might genuinely need repair. The federal government is the worst possible mechanic for the job, because it faces no profit test and no loss test. It cannot calculate. When a bureaucrat allocates capital, he is guessing, and he is guessing with funds confiscated from people who would have spent them better. Mises explained in 1920 how socialism cannot perform economic calculation. Central planners have spent a century proving this with our money.
Notice the trick in the naming itself. Call it "infrastructure" and opposition looks like you hate roads. That is the entire game: wrap the transfer payment in concrete and steel so the public assumes the whole thing is concrete and steel.
The roads were just bait.
Take note of how happy these people are in the photo. That's because this was a massive, life-changing payday for them, their friends, and their families.

Children from fatherless homes are:
75% of all teenage murderers
71% of high school dropouts
70% of incarcerated youth
60% of convicted rapists
Demographics of fatherless youth:
Black children: 64%

This is the real crisis, not "white racism"
We use these image a lot to explain embedded taxes. A new car starts with an idea and continues on and on and on. YOU pay those costs. HR25 FAIRtax is the fix.
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

50 YEARS AGO: the average cost of a home was $39,275
TODAY: the average cost of a home is $415,400
Homes now cost FIVE TIMES more than a family’s median income.
The REAL reason? Congress.
Congress just spends, spends, and spends with no end in sight and Americans are left with higher interest rates and rampant inflation.
It’s time to SLASH SPENDING and BALANCE THE BUDGET.
The following Senators have a Liberty Score (https://t.co/aHs5CHS08E) of “F”.

Trump killed 50 of Iran's top leaders, did at least $1 trillion worth of damage to their military equipment and infrastructure, totally wiped out their naval fleet and air fleets, put their government in a state of endemic internal conflict, and left them totally incapable of meaningfully attacking their neighbors in the region any time soon. By the end of it, all Iran could do is rig the strait with mines and take pop shots at passing ships.
The loss of insurance coverage had more of an impact on the flow of marine traffic than Iran did.
I personally would have preferred the total destruction of the IRGC (which technically isn't off the table if they decide to FAFO) but it would have been difficult to accomplish without more civilian casualties -- something third worldist leftoids were already complaining (and campaigning) about.
In the meantime, consider the following:
No boots on the ground. No prolonged conflict. No permanent occupation. No military draft. No lasting impact on energy prices. No multi-trillion dollar boondoggle. None of the things anti-war retards with Israel tunnel vision like Dave Smith and Candace Owens predicted would happen.
In addition:
- Oil and gas prices are falling in time for summer and the midterms.
- "Free Palestine" third worldists like Graham Platner have less ammo on which to campaign for Congress.
- Russia is bringing in less revenue.
- The U.S. got a foot in the door to block China's Belt and Road projects.
- Trump has greater latitude to tighten sanctions on Russia without exacerbating supply shocks to energy markets.
- Europe and America have agreed to increase cooperation in providing for the national defense of Ukraine.
- Israel isn't a signatory to the MOU and isn't bound by its terms, leaving it free to independently defend itself from threats if necessary.
- America isn't creating a power vacuum for China and Russia to fill by absconding and surrendering its own influence over the region.
The people who say this is a "humiliating defeat" for Trump?
- Russia
- China
- Iran
- Democrats
- The leftist Drudge-led media establishment
All the worst people you know have joined arms and are pretending like Iran pulled one over on the Bad Orange Man in hopes that it will piss off Republicans and Israelis enough to get them to kill the deal themselves.
It's very transparent. Don't let your enemies control you with such a stupid and obvious Reflexive Control op.
Democrats are ultra SNEAKY.
They pretend Democrats are Republicans to get elected.
There are 15 GOP Senators with a “F” Liberty Score.

Don’t know if there is a complete absence of economics understanding in CA, but if you get rid of the billionaires here, you will get rid of all the taxes they pay. About 85% of CA revenue is paid by the top 1%. If you don’t want the city to afford to function, go ahead and get rid of the wealthy citizens.
We can either stop Islamic immigration now or our children will pay the price - just like the working class girls in Great Britain did.
Our job as conservatives is to conserve the country we grew up in, not import the cultures erasing it.
