I hate to say it but this is what I believe is truth. Our senate is captured by unelected bureaucrats. When you have 80% of Americans calling for leader Thune to pass the Save America Act and he refuses to, we have a problem.
President Trump has asked him to. Other senators have asked him to.
There is no reason why he can’t unless somebody has his balls to wall.
I voted for my representatives to represent my will. Our will.
This is unacceptable behavior from the senate. Initiate an investigation into Thune.
@Creepykeyser They were out in force the last couple of weeks on Foster Lake near Sweet Home, issuing citations for no floating permits to paddle boarders.
Do you ever wonder why news organizations can push fake news?
They couldn't do it when we were kids.
It's happening now because Obama repealed the Smith-Mundt Act.
It's time to restore it and make fake news illegal again.
IT'S GO TIME 🚨
Big round of applause 👏 goes out to Rick Scott and Mike Lee for having the balls to object to the August recess until the Save America Act is passed
(RP) if you think every (R) Senator should join them in their objection to John Thune
IT'S GONNA HAPPEN FOLKS
Americans who still haven’t figured this out yet need to wake up and understand this is reality:
“I really hate to break it to you, but if your party controls the news media, the entertainment industry, and education, you're not part of the resistance
And if the education that you received from this one-party-controlled education system forces you to rewrite history, ignore science, and divorce yourself from reality, I fear you didn't get an education at all. You got indoctrination.
And if the information that you're receiving from your party is filled with so much violent rhetoric that people from your side are consistently trying to threaten and attempting to end the lives of people on the other side without any condemnation from the leaders of your side, you're on the wrong side of history”
I ran all of these institutions through Grok and asked which political party controls each one of them. An unbiased AI that just looks at data and seeks truth answered that the Democrat Party controls them all
People are being mass indoctrinated
Elon Musk was called a racist on camera by the editor-in-chief of The Economist.
An accusation that serious should have come with proof. Hers came from no one.
Zanny Minton Beddoes: “People say that you’re a racist.”
People say.
No evidence. No incident. No source. No name.
“People say” removes the journalist’s fingerprints from the accusation. Nothing to verify. No one to hold accountable.
A label laundered through a question so it can never be traced back to a fact.
Musk: “My partner is half Indian. I have four children with her. One of them was named after a famous Indian physicist. If you look at the people employed at my companies, we have senior executives of all races.”
The accusation cost nothing to make. The defense required a man to put his own family on the table.
Then she moved on. No pause. Not one word of his answer made it into the next question.
Beddoes: “Are you anti-Muslim?”
The first accusation was still on the ground. The next was already in the air.
Musk: “I’m against people coming to a country with antithetical views. I’m against rape and murder. I’m against the imposition of rules and laws that are contrary to what we’ve come to accept in the West.”
He answered with positions no functioning society disputes. The only way to make them sound like bigotry was to attach a religion to the people he was describing.
That isn’t journalism. It’s a trap where the question does the accusing and the answer does the rest.
Musk: “I think it’s a crying shame that the traditional media, like you, don’t recognize this.”
To her face. To the editor-in-chief of one of the most powerful publications on Earth.
When a man has to prove he isn’t a racist by naming his own children, then defend himself for opposing rape and murder, the labels have stopped describing the world. They’ve started building one.
The accusation was never meant to be true. It was meant to be answered.
Because the moment you’re defending yourself against a label, the label has already done its work. And when no answer can acquit you, you were never being accused. You were being sentenced.
The presumption of innocence was never a description of how people think. It was a wall built against it. Four centuries putting it up. A decade taking it down.
Musk didn’t accept the frame. He answered with facts and let the accusations collapse on contact, then told the person holding the microphone that she was the problem.
The weapon only works on people who flinch. He didn’t.
And the accusation that came from no one finally had a name on it. Hers.
This old-school American just dropped the hardest truth you’ll hear all year.
His father lost 30 family members under the USSR.
He watched the man cry in a chair for a week.
Now they’re selling “democratic socialism” to kids who get trophies for existing.
His response?
“Don’t tell me about socialism or communism or dictatorship. We are free… They’re here to destroy us from within. Every great country has been destroyed from within… and that’s what’s happening now.”
No filter. No apology. Just a man who lived the consequences telling the truth while the rest of the country debates semantics.
This is the energy we need more of. No apologies for rejecting this ideology. 🇺🇸
Oh wow, thanks for the groundbreaking public health analysis, Dan.
Oregon is literally choking on wildfire smoke from forests that haven't been logged, thinned, or managed in DECADES and your big solution is to go beg the EPA to crack down on some guy's F-150 in Medford?
Makes total sense.
So quick question when are you suing Tina Kotek for catastrophic forest mismanagement? Or are we just going straight to suing Mother Nature for letting it get hot in August?
Maybe stick to the current timeline on cleaning up Oregon's forests first. 🇺🇸 🐺
@C_3C_3 Everyone should start using that word. Say it over and over and over again. Normalize it. Why is there one word that wrong? Sticks and stones. Call me cracker, I could give a fuck!
Jasmine Crockett is not going to like this, but I had to do it.
She is screaming at the top of her lungs about being oppressed and claiming that the white man brought her over on a slave ship.
I have already been warned by her supporters not to mock her, but before anyone asks, “How dare you mock a Black woman?”—I am a comedian, and I am allowed to mock whoever I want, just like SNL and countless other comedians mock people of every color.
@NoDMsPerfavore@BabyDeagle And, don’t leave out the invasive species irony. You can’t bring plants or fruits into America because they will destroy the ecosystem, yet we allowed illegal immigrants in who are destroying our culture and economy.
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?
Shame on those of you who use this tragedy to voice your political hatred! My only son was killed in Afghanistan at 21 years old under Obama/Biden. Not one person from the Obama administration was in Dover to attend my son’s dignified transfer ceremony. We lost our precious boy and didn’t even receive a phone call. So, when you make this and political, just know it would have meant the world to us to have anyone there honoring my boy when his body was returned after making the ultimate sacrifice for the people and the country he loved so deeply (even while wearing a baseball cap). 💔
There’s a time and a place and this is not it. Show some respect for these families, especially when you have no idea what they’re going through! 😡
@RepBentz NO TO AMNESTY !!!! Americans are tired of being betrayed. My husband grew up working at the cannery near where you went to high school. American kids need those jobs. Illegals send the money back to their home countries and it doesn’t all get spent in Oregon! @RepBentz
