@Ooma has terrible customer service. Shame on me for using them. I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years and found an error in billling in my favor and they kept me in the phone for 2 hours only to tell me that it was my fault for not catching it. I cancelled my service with them.

@TedRall Your post shows the state of your soul so this makes perfect sense.

It reflects our image as a country. American patriots care about the reflecting pool…

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]

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?

@DallasTexasTV Yep nothing says election year like priming hopeful electors. He is consistent.

@martinamcbride Spotify makes it very easy to never hear you again.

Just go to the Artist homepage, hit the three dots, and select “Don’t play this artist”

Easy peasy.

[David Jones @MyCompDoc]

Exactly this…

As a Texan, I’m far more concerned with politicians who twist Scripture to defend abortion and transgenderism than with someone’s personal failings

Paxton is a patriot. Talarico is a heretic. It’s that simple. No Christian should support Talarico, and I’m proud to support Paxton

@EmilySm43 A bill for SAAS (saving as a service) with subscriptions expired across the top.

@SteveDeaceShow @chiproytx Steve, Chip Roy made a huge mistake when he told his constituents to “kiss my ass”. Texans don’t forget a thing like that. It’s sad, but it’s true.

Beto 2.0... Texans never forget...

He’s literally doing the Beto pose

@TomEDewey1948 @RobHTX78 Its the peoples party, not Trumps. Americans are just tired of the Fake Support of every establishment politician that only turns conservative when an election comes around.

[David Jones @MyCompDoc]

It is super easy to setup and worked great. I just can't justify the cost anymore. If you are streaming alot of video services, you're gonna need the unlimited plan because you ill hit the cap and they will slow it down to the point it won't work. I am not sure what the GB cap is on the plan you reference. The Home and Roam plans are the ones they are forcing everyone off because of price. The Pause feature on the Roam went from free to $5 now $10 in less than a 1 years time. I used mine mainly for camping.

[David Jones @MyCompDoc]

@Just1nMKE @Starlink Yeah I know shame on me. I had hope…

[RG | BEATS @DR_BEATS_KICK]

Can you rt this? Maybe we can make a difference

[David Jones @MyCompDoc]

Well said…

[David Jones @MyCompDoc]

I did not know they charged differently on location. That’s even worse or your daughters not aware of the increase. When I signed up I was paying 150 a month for roaming unlimited with free pause.

When I cancelled, it’s now 175.00 per month with the pause at 10 / month for the privilege of keeping my package.

I was not an abuser of the system and used it fairly. It’s just not worth the cost anymore. After paying $500 for equipment it just not affordable anymore.

Glad it works for you.

@ForgiatoBlow47 They all do all the time. Rules don’t apply to them only us.

[David Jones @MyCompDoc]

@GeneralMCNews @JeannieGiering No shock… rules don’t apply to them…

[David Jones @MyCompDoc]

This isn’t expensive.
Just $3.5 million a year from Texas — far cheaper than widening I-35 again.
North Texas is booming. We need real transportation options, not more highway congestion, emissions, and stranded families, students & seniors.
