Wes Moore has balanced nothing. He inherited a multi-billion-dollar surplus, raised $2 billion in taxes and fees, and still managed to drive Maryland into another multi-billion-dollar deficit. The result? The first state credit downgrade in a generation, and next legislative session Maryland is staring down the barrel of implementing the SECOND record-setting tax increase in two years. That FACT is real.
And now he wants to lecture us on fiscal responsibility? That takes nerve and a desperate hope that voters are clueless.
AMERICA!!! πΊπΈ Believe me when I say THIS π GUY π CANβT π GOVERN! Maryland has the second worst economy in the country according to CNBC! We have a payment plan for our vehicle registration! Just last year he signed a devastating IT tax that has barely collected 23% of itsοΏΌ projected revenue, while simultaneously driving business from our state. As a concerned, Maryland resident I am warning you right nowβ Do NOT look to him as a model for growth!
@BishopBarron In December 1940 Britain stood alone. To break the British the Germans launched the Blitz, nightly thousand bomber raids that destroyed London. Miraculously St Paulβs cathedral survived. It became a universal symbol of Britainβs resolve.
Now it symbolizes something else.
WTF: Thomas Massie calls out the U.S. House for being in session for only 4 days between July and November.
Our representatives are receiving 100 paid days off with your tax dollars.
Massie: "My amendment is simple: remove $3.3 billion in foreign aid to Israel from the State Department funding bill. We have $39.4 trillion in debt and domestic needs, including roads and bridges. We have homeless veterans, yet this bill sends Israel more money than we spend on them.
There are 3,000 counties in this country. Dividing $3 billion among them means $1 million per county. That's not much to stop sending overseas. I think we should cut spending on Israel."
In Maryland you're taxed on the car, the gasoline, the tires, the home / property, the income/ labor. Still isn't enough. STILL not enough for democrat nirvana.
Awesome day in Baltimore City with these amazing people. We were absolutely thrilled to hear of the impact that these residents are making for the good of Maryland and Baltimore City.
Itβs time to cut taxes and give young people a vision so that we can make Baltimore City the amazing place that the community deserves.
Authority: Dan Cox for Governor; Nick Krop, Treasurer.

Only two Republicans stood up to the Israel lobby.
They no longer serve in Congress because MAGA & Trump put Israelβs needs before Americas.
@RepThomasMassie & @mtgreenee stood for America πΊπΈ Only. They put Americans before foreign entanglements.
Maryland will not sit on our hands while getting punched in the face. On November 3rd, the people of Maryland will have a chance to vote YES on Question 3, and decide for ourselves what our democracy is going to look like.
WOW π¨ The nonprofit who owns the billing codes used by our medical system and gets paid $300 million per year in royalties ALSO SETS THE PRICE OF MEDICAL SERVICES for those codes
American surgeon βIt feels ridiculous because we as healthcare providers have to use those codes according to state and federal government, and the AMA created them, copyrighted them, and charges us, the people that they're representing, to use them.
So let's go one step further.
The CPT code system is meant to be this five-digit code that is a universal language for documenting and reporting for all the things that we do in healthcare back to insurance companies, right and ultimately, that affects reimbursement.
But here's a wrinkle that you might not have known.
The AMA also actually makes a recommendation to the government about a value that's assigned to the CPT codes that they own. That's right. They own the system. They're making money off of that, and then they're also recommending back to CMS and ultimately to insurance companies how much doctors and providers are paid for those codes.
That is quite a lot of power for one organization to hold over the money that's exchanged in this healthcare system.
So they're making that three hundred million dollars a year licensing it, but then they're also influencing what I get paid for everything that I do. Interestingβ¦..β
- US government made using these codes mandatory
- A nonprofit who donates millions to politicians on both sides was able to keep the copyright
- That group collects hundreds of millions a year from the people required to use it
- The same group runs the committee that recommends the dollar values attached to those codes
The people who could change this, our politicians, are being paid off not to change it
This is a racket
If you dont want to live in the world this ghoul and his friends are making, you have to start living as much of your life as possible off of screens ASAP.

Thomas Massie says the conspiracy theorists were right again about Section 224 of the NDAA, which he says will merge the United States military with the IDF.
Massie says the provision is treasonous and warns that it will force the United States to compromise its own security for Benjamin Netanyahu's demands.
"The difference between a conspiracy theory in Washington has been reduced from six months to six days."
