ANOTHER HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young ones (& 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?
A Secret Service agent who protected Trump recently said something that SHOCKED everyone: “Trump has RUINED me — I could never protect another President the same way again.” And before you assume he meant that as criticism, WAIT until you understand what he really meant by “ruined,” because his explanation of Trump has left people across the Secret Service deeply emotional.
Here’s what the agent meant by “Trump ruined me”:
This Secret Service agent had protected several Presidents before Trump. He was professionally trained, followed every rule, and performed his duty with discipline, distance, and dedication. He protected each President the same way — until he was assigned to Trump. That’s when EVERYTHING changed.
The agent explained:
“Trump RUINED me for this job. Not because he’s difficult — but because he’s completely different. Trump knows my NAME. Other Presidents called me ‘agent.’ Trump calls me by my actual name.
He knows my WIFE’S name. He knows my CHILDREN’S names. He asks about my son’s baseball games. Trump notices when I’ve been standing for 8 hours and tells me, ‘Sit down, you need to rest.’
During long days, Trump makes sure EXTRA food is available: ‘Make sure my guys eat first.’
When my FATHER passed away, Trump came to his funeral. No cameras. No reporters. No publicity. He simply came to honor the man who raised the person protecting him.
After being treated like THIS — how could I ever return to being just ‘agent’ to another President?
After Trump remembered my CHILDREN’S names, how could I protect someone who wouldn’t even bother learning mine?
After Trump treated me like FAMILY, how could I go back to feeling like FURNITURE?
Trump RUINED me.
He raised the standard so HIGH for how a President can treat the people protecting him that I could never accept the old standard again.
That’s what I mean when I say he ‘ruined’ me.”
Here’s what this confession supposedly shows: Trump didn’t simply have Secret Service agents protecting him — he made them feel VALUED, RESPECTED, and treated like FAMILY. Once someone experiences that kind of personal respect, it becomes impossible to accept being treated like nothing more than equipment.
🚨 RUBIO JUST SAID THE NUMBER THEY NEVER WANTED ON TV 🚨
Americans work 40 years.
They retire.
Social Security: $800. $900. A thousand a month.
Somebody who got here from Cuba three months ago: $1,500 a month.
Marco Rubio said it out loud.
“So imagine if you’ve been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28-year-old, able-bodied person who just got here. That’s real. That happens. That’s happening every day. That makes no sense.”
You paid in.
They landed.
They beat your check.
That’s not compassion.
That’s a slap in the face with your own tax dollars.
🚨 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just DROPPED this message to every American and it's SPOT ON:
"If there are things you wish the Republicans would've done? Well, they're DEFINITELY not gonna get done if you put the DSA IN CHARGE. In fact, EVERYTHING would be dead on arrival, and they'd spend the last 2 years of President Trumps' presidency going after him and his administration."
"That's ALL they'll do. They will not do a SINGLE thing that will benefit the American people."
This is why it's NEVER the correct alternative to elect country-destroyers just because we want more done by the GOP
I myself WISH the SAVE America Act were passed, but why would I elect the party of VOTER FRAUD, who would never even CONSIDER proof of citizenship and voter ID?
VOTE STRAIGHT RED 🇺🇸
🚨🚨 BOMBSHELL JUST DROPPED, THERE IS NO HIDING THIS NOW 🚨🚨
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna just went on national TV and EXPOSED the truth they’re desperate to hide:
The Democratic Socialists of America are being FUNDED by the Chinese Communist Party and foreign interests.
Not “maybe.”
Not “allegedly.”
She said it outright: “DSA is absolutely funded and tied to the Communist Chinese Party.”
Mega-donor Neville Roy Singham (currently under DOJ investigation) is pouring money into Marxist networks, teaming up with the Party for Socialism and Liberation to target moderate Democrats and FLIP seats.
This isn’t politics as usual.
This is foreign influence.
This is infiltration.
This is a direct threat.
SHUT. IT. DOWN.
Block the transfers.
Demand answers.
NOW. 🔥
The American people deserve the truth. Share this before they try to bury it.
🚨 BREAKING: THE FLOODGATES JUST SLAMMED SHUT.
USPS just confirmed it — Trump’s ironclad mail-in voting rules are LIVE RIGHT NOW and they hit the November 2026 election like a freight train.
No more games. No more delays. An activist judge’s last-ditch block? DISSOLVED.
From this second forward:
• Ballots ONLY go to verified U.S. citizens 18+ on official DHS + SSA lists.
• States that refuse to hand over their voter names, addresses, and unique barcodes? USPS will refuse to even touch their ballots.
This is the wall they said could never be built.
The era of untraceable mail-in chaos just ended.
LFG. 🔥🇺🇸
Share this before they try to bury it.
I’m happy to share this because I don’t care what side of the aisle you sit on, this is a fact.
Speaker Mike Johnson this is for you.
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 50 years on every salary I received. From my first part time job until I retired. I always had a job.
The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it.
The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.
It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.
99% of people won't forward this to their timelines…..will you?
Please, for the sake of our country, repost this.
The candidate for Governor who’s Day 1 ready to lead Florida is @JayCollinsFL
He’s an American hero, a retired Green Beret and the best man for the job. Hope you’ll join me in supporting a battle-tested leader for Florida!
🚨 WOW! Sen. Mike Lee just put his foot down and FORMALLY OBJECTED to John Thune's Senate proposal that would block a roll call vote to begin summer recess, in exchange for setting a list of agenda items to complete
LEE: "I have formally objected to the time agreement, contingent on scheduling a roll call vote (at 51) as to the part of the agreement that deals with adjournment with pro formas."
"We are United States senators. It is entirely reasonable to ask for a vote on this."
"I’m not on board with that plan—not with all that’s at stake and all that remains undone."
MIKE LEE IS FIGHTING HARD!
I have had numerous constructive meetings with Mr. Blanche and he comes across as decent and capable. I appreciate the trip he made to learn more about Alaska, including our rural areas, and as Acting Attorney General he has made several noteworthy decisions that will benefit our state and the nation.
Ultimately, however, I will oppose his nomination.
The politicization—even weaponization—of the Department did not start with this administration but has accelerated during it. I take issue with the handling of the release of the Epstein files; the sweeping immunity protections granted to the President, his family, and their businesses; the statements that have been made to anti-abortion groups; and the repeated targeting of individuals ranging from former administration staff to sitting U.S. Senators.
I am also keenly aware that the Department’s nearly $2-billion dollar slush fund—which likely would have rewarded January 6 protesters—is only off the table because this nomination is pending and the Senate has leverage. Once we vote, that will end, and there is no telling what the future holds.
The country needs an Attorney General who will check the worst impulses of this administration. I hope Mr. Blanche is able to achieve that, if confirmed, but I simply do not have confidence that will be the case.
LET'S GO 🚨
@JDVance is meeting with Majority @LeaderJohnThune right now in the Senate
(RP) if you want him to use the powers vested in him and preside over the Senate, until the Save America Act is passed
He'll see this... if we get enough of of a response
I’d love to keep the filibuster if senators invoking it were actually required to speak
It makes no sense to keep it when we don’t enforce the obligation to speak
Dems then use it to engage in unprecedented obstruction, shutting down DHS for months
Make them speak
Or nuke it
I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same.
I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.
You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind!
• If a man pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
• Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
• It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
• People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
• People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
• Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
• Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
• $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
• If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
• People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
• We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.
• Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
• Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.
• And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!
Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.
We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.
Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast. The choice is yours to make. What will it be? Time is short, make your choice wisely!
Feel free to copy and paste. I did.
Time for our government to wake up you either work with and for America or get the hell out .. we're tired of paying taxes and you incredibly selfish people don't give a damn for the people you work for... you should all be ashamed of yourself !!!!
Thune said he didn't see how having Congress sitting around there for the month of August is a good use of anybody's time.
Is he serious?
That's his f'ing job. Sitting around voting on legislation. That's it. That's the job.
Dont like it? We will happily accept his resignation.
🚨 JUST NOW: Sen. Tommy Tuberville just said its time to ARREST and LOCK UP “Dr” Fauci before he leaves Congress today
"He should be LOCKED UP before he leaves this building today, put in PRISON and put on TRIAL”
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE 💯
The Left ALWAYS takes the 5th and we do nothing to hold them accountable! So who is surprised that this POS took the 5th today? I’m not, but this one needs to be made an example of. Hold him in contempt and put him in jail until he talks.
Dr. Fauci was SPECIFICALLY WARNED by Sen. Rand Paul MULTIPLE times that he was breaking the law by improperly invoking the fifth amendment
The Senate should invoke their Constitutional power to ARREST FAUCI THEMSELVES and HOLD HIM in a jail cell.
Inherent contempt would take the DOJ and corrupted DC juries completely out of the equation.
Fauci would be taken into custody by the Sergeant-at-Arms, and he would be IMPRISONED either until he answers the questions or the Congressional session ends.
All this could be done with a simple Senate Resolution issuing a warrant for Fauci's arrest, and directing the Sergeant-at-Arms to execute it.
The Senate would then impose a punishment for Fauci all by themselves.
Make. Fauci. Pay.
🚨 BREAKING: Rand Paul announces the committee will be voting to hold Dr. Fauci in CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS after Fauci invokes the fifth amendment over 80 times
This carries up to a YEAR of prison time.
Paul argues that Fauci does NOT have a fifth amendment right against self-incrimination, as Biden's autopen pardon protects him. Therefore, Fauci can be COMPELLED to answer questions.
PAUL: "My question was limited to the period of your pardon only. I find your objection UNSUPPORTED and DIRECT YOU to answer the question."
FAUCI: *pleads fifth*
PAUL: "Because you refuse to answer citing a privilege unsupported because of your pardon and after being denied to do so this committee has scheduled a vote next week on a resolution certifying your contempt"
