Does anyone else find it odd that $200 billion is spent on cancer research every single year...and the only thing to show for it is a 75% increase in cancer deaths since the 1990s?

There are 2 types of people:

1. People who see a trillionaire and wonder how they can innovate and emulate such success

2. People who see a trillionaire and seethe with resentment

Do everything you can to ensure you're always around the first kind of person.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

The wake up call is for you, Senator.

You have spent 30 years in government. Name one thing you built. One product, one service, one system that works. You can't. Your entire career consists of redistributing value created by others, and lecturing the people who create it.

Elon built reusable rockets for less than what Washington spends in 3 hours. The government you represent spends $7 trillion a year and can't balance a budget, fix a border, or build a train. He did 100 times more with 100 times less.

A trillionaire who earned it by serving billions of customers is not a problem. A bureaucrat who never created a dollar of value deciding how value should be allocated, that's the problem.

The era of the builder is here. You can keep tweeting from the back seat of your government car, or you can step aside and watch.

History remembers the people who build. It footnotes the ones who taxed them.

Elon Musk's companies employ roughly 170,000 people.

AOC drove Amazon out of New York, killing 40,000 jobs.

One creates. The other destroys.

They are not the same.

Don’t worry about Elon becoming rich with his own money.

Worry about politicians becoming rich with your money.

My father grew up in the segregated South.

He had to walk around to the BACK of a restaurant just to order a sandwich because he was black.

THAT was Jim Crow.

Not showing a photo ID to vote.

You need an ID to:
• Board a plane
• Cash a check
• Buy alcohol
• Enter federal buildings

But suddenly showing an ID to vote is “racist”?

Give me a break.

This is not civil rights.
This is political theater.

The Democrat Party survives by manufacturing grievance because they have nothing else to run on.

Comparing voter ID laws to segregation is not just dishonest, it is insulting to the people who actually lived through Jim Crow.

Asking Americans to prove they are who they say they are when they cast their vote is called common sense.

[Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav]

If you’re keeping track, Democrats are

- running a candidate for Senate with a literal Nazi tattoo,

- funding the KKK through the SPLC,

- and fighting for racially segregated congressional districts.

But Republicans are the racists.

[Jason D. Meister 🇺🇸 @jason_meister]

They arrested the President of the United States of America 4X, charged him 91X, indicted him 4X, spied on his campaign, sabotaged his first term, jailed his supporters, raided his private residence, censored him, gagged him, tried to bankrupt him, and attempted to remove him from state ballots.

When all of that failed they tried to assassinate him not once but four times.

And they go on national television to talk about how we need to vote for them to save democracy.

[Hillbilly @JamesHu27192912]

North Carolina is now being warned by Governor Josh Stein about a $2.8 BILLION budget shortfall over the next two years.

That’s not a small gap. That’s a structural problem.

And here’s the part people keep skipping over:

North Carolina has had a long run of Democratic governors —
including Roy Cooper, who is now running for U.S. Senate after serving two terms, and now Josh Stein.

So this didn’t happen overnight.

This is the result of years of decisions.
Budgets passed. Priorities set. Promises made.

Now the bill is coming due.

Here’s what that means:

• A shortfall like this forces hard choices — fast
• Spending gets cut, taxes go up, or both
• And everyday North Carolinians feel it first

Every program expansion.
Every new commitment.
Every dollar spent.

It all has to be paid for.

Now we’re looking at a $2.8 billion gap and one simple question:

Who’s going to pay for it?

And what gets cut when the money isn’t there?

This isn’t abstract.
This is your taxes. Your services. Your state.

North Carolina doesn’t have the luxury of ignoring a hole this big.

So what’s the plan?

He's right. And he knows they know he's right.

Stephen Miller just read the scorecard out loud. In one year under President Trump:

𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆.
𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆.
𝗟𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗿𝘂𝗴 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆.

And the headline number: the lowest national murder rate in 125 years. Not five years. Not ten. Not a generation. 𝟭𝟮𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀.

Now ask yourself: if a Democrat president had delivered those numbers, what would the front page of every newspaper in America look like right now? What would the lead story on every network be? What would the tone of every late-night monologue be?

You know the answer. You've seen it before.

Instead the media spent today covering whether Tom Homan had a well-thought-out plan to guard airport exits. They spent last week debating whether ICE agents would brutalize travelers. They spent the week before that explaining why Iran was probably telling the truth and Trump wasn't.

Miller's point isn't partisan. It's mathematical. These are the largest improvements in public safety in the history of this country — achieved in a single year — and the people whose job it is to inform the American public have buried them.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Imagine refusing to stand for:

- Americans over illegals
- Voter ID
- Lowest murder rate in 125 years
- Ending fraud & waste
- Angel families
- Tough-on-crime policies
- No tax on tips, overtime, or Social Security
- Crushing fentanyl
- A Secure border

That’s exactly what Democrats refused to stand for. Tells you everything.

[Karoline Leavitt @PressSec]

. @CNN is a total disgrace.

President Trump hosted a powerful event honoring Angel Families who lost loved ones at the hands of illegal alien criminals and deadly drugs – but CNN refused to cover EVEN one second of it.

That’s because CNN doesn't care about the victims of illegal alien crime.

They pretend to be a news organization, but they refuse to cover anything that doesn’t fit the Left’s narrative.

This is why CNN is failing and losing all of their viewership.

[Dr Strangetweet or How I Learned to Love the RT @lone_rides]

To recap the Democrat 2026 platform so far:

- America is stolen land and we can’t have borders

- if we don’t have borders, everyone is allowed to come here

- if anyone is here, they’re allowed to access taxpayer funded services

- because we shouldn’t have borders, we shouldn’t enforce immigration laws

- America must be subjected to tariffs but cannot impose tariffs

- Muslims can take over public spaces to pray but conservative groups cannot have high school or college clubs

- you aren’t smart enough to homeschool your kids so you must send them to public schools where they won’t learn to read, do arithmetic, or think critically

- the Department of Education is sacred

- but kids will be taken out side to protest and shown sexually explicit materials

- biological males can be women

- women are a protected class and need special treatment, including trans women

- you’re not paying enough in taxes

- voting is a constitutional right and should have no requirements

- gun ownership is a constitutional right that should be abolished, but until then should be highly restrictive and limited

- women are smarter than men and that’s why so many of them get more college degrees than men

- women are incapable of obtaining a valid ID to vote

- law enforcement officers are going to be held accountable for enforcing the law

- former military officers cannot be held accountable for violating the rules

- going after political opponents, even if they broke the law, is illegal

- as soon as Democrats are in power, they will go after their political opponents

- using laws to prosecute ICE protesters is wrong

- using laws to prosecute pro-life nuns is correct

- uncovering fraud in NGOs, government agencies, welfare is wrong

- wealth tax for “rich” people

- there shouldn’t be billionaires

- owning 4 homes doesn’t mean someone is rich

- Republicans are racists

- it’s okay to say racist things to black and brown Republicans and law enforcement

- the Trump admin is covering up for pedophiles

- the Biden admin couldn’t do anything with the Epstein files

- we shouldn’t spend any money on detention centers for ICE

- we should spend more money of government programs without fixing the fraud (see above)

- Abolish ICE

- Abolish the police

- criminals aren’t bad, just misunderstood*

- *unless they’re white, Right, or Christian
- trans people are the real victims of trans killing people

- it’s okay to vote “not guilty” if the defendant agrees with your politics or has your skin color

- it’s okay to release violent criminals back on the streets if they’ve been arrested multiple times

- it’s okay to hit law enforcement with your vehicle as long as you say “I’m not mad at you” first

- understand that Jesus said “love everybody, welcome the stranger” but ignore everything else Jesus and the Bible said

And that’s just off the top of my head. I’m sure I missed a few.

[Bill Mitchell @mitchellvii]

CNN's Harry Enten just dropped the MOST DEVASTATING POLLING TRUTH BOMB on Democrats!

He declared bluntly, “Democrats, in the minds of the American public are lower than the Dead Sea.”

Quinnipiac polling confirms congressional Democrats are at historic lows: -55 net approval overall, -61 with independents, and approval below 20 percent.

President Trump's relentless America First fight has the left completely exposed - the public is turning away in massive numbers and patriots are cheering the collapse.

[Charles Gasparino @CGasparino]

It’s really hysterical that I keep reading how people yearn for the diplomacy and stability of the Obama years. Let’s rewind the video tape; The weakest economic recovery in recent history coupled with the great wealth gap ever. On foreign policy, consider what fomented under his watch: The creation of ISIS, ignored redlines in Syria and a brutal civil war, Iran moving toward getting nukes, Russian aggression and the broad acceptance that China should steal our intellectual property so can have access to the crap cheap stuff it exports. Yet the left and their media lackeys frame him as the second coming. The only thing worse than Obama was Biden— massive overspending, inflation and an open invitation to the world to tap into our welfare state. Yes Trump is crude BUT it’s not his fault he was left with all of the above from Obama plus an open border and elevated prices from Biden, the consequences of which he has to reverse including a vast immigration crackdown for the simple reason that we need to know who is in our country and if your worried about the employment impact of AI (as the left keeps saying will be a problem) the last thing we need is more unskilled labor

🚨 EYE-OPENER ALERT: This powerful clip just dropped truth bombs on who REALLY wrote the racist policies that hurt the Black community — and she's calling out Democrats by NAME and LAW! 🔥

For YEARS I've been telling my brothers and sisters in the Black community: Wake up—this is the REAL Black history they've tried to hide.

Democrats authored Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, literacy tests to block Black votes. They pushed the Great Society programs that broke up families and created dependency. Republicans? They fought slavery, passed Civil Rights (with more GOP votes), and elected the first Black congressmen and senators.

Time to share this far and wide. The truth is finally going mainstream! 💪🏾🗣️

Who's with me? Drop a 🔥 if you're ready to spread real history! Tag a friend who needs to see this.

[Overton @overton_news]

Maria Bartiromo just asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent a deceptively simple question — and the answer completely exposed Democrats on Capitol Hill.

She asked whether Democrats even bothered to question him about economic growth during his latest Senate hearing.

He said don’t want to talk about growth at all...because they can’t. Instead, they just want to “hoot and holler.”

BESSENT: “Maria, they can’t compete on economic growth because the president’s plan is working, the Trump economy is delivering for the American people.”

He then rattled off the numbers Democrats would rather ignore.

“We have strong growth and inflation is, in fact, coming down. For the past three months, inflation is 2.1%, close to the federal reserve’s target, and a measure called true-flation, which is daily observations now is below 1%.”

That’s when he twisted the knife.

“So inflation down, strong growth, stocks at a record high, and the lowest crime rate in over 100 years.”

“Democrats don’t want to talk about that, they want to hoot and holler.”

[Reverend Jordan Wells @WellsJorda89710]

🚨If Trump is a "racist," he's gotta be the WORST one ever—because he's done MORE for Black communities than most! 🔥

- Pardoned legends like Lil Wayne & Kodak Black (and pushed for others in the system).
- Signed historic criminal justice reform (First Step Act) freeing thousands unfairly jailed.
- Funded HBCUs at RECORD levels—permanent billions, no more begging yearly.
- Put Black leaders in POWER: Ben Carson as HUD Secretary, and elevated voices like Byron Donalds.
- Endorsed trailblazers like Vivek Ramaswamy & diverse GOP stars, flipping the party script.
- Invited Black pastors to the White House, celebrated Black history like never before.

Meanwhile, these "tolerant" Dems & white liberals are out here slinging the N-word at ICE agents? Hypocrisy much? 😤 Trump yanked that video down FAST, condemned it, and owned it wasn't him. Real leaders fix mistakes—fake ones divide.

America FIRST means EVERYONE wins. Who's the real racist? #Trump2024 #BlackVoicesForTrump #MAGA
