🚨 JUST NOW: As MI Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed ADMITS to dual citizenship in Egypt, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says ALL DUAL CITIZENS must be "BANNED from serving in Congress"

THIS IS COMMON SENSE!

LUNA: "You cannot have allegiance to two countries...Abdul El Sayed bragging about his dual citizenship. Foreign insurgents have no place in our government." 💯

She's spot-on.

That includes to ANY COUNTRY. Renounce your citizenship from anywhere else, AMERICA FIRST 🇺🇸

The funniest thing about boomers not wanting to help their children raise grandchildren is that most of us children of boomers were actually raised by our grandparents, spent most of our times at their houses, and were under their care constantly.

Typical boomer mentally of all consuming compulsion. They have left the world burning, with nothing but ashes as their legacy.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

Gen X is currently stuck in the brutal vice grip of the "Sandwich Generation," and it’s completely reshaping their priorities.

You’re 49. Your kids are 17 and about to leave the nest forever. At the exact same time, your parents are 79 and rapidly losing their memory, mobility, and independence.

You sit in a sterile conference room on a Thursday listening to a 32-year-old consultant talk about "cross-functional synergy," and you realize you have maybe five good summers left with your parents and six months before your teenager moves out.

The idea of trading another 50 hours a week to chase a "Senior Vice President" title stops sounding prestigious and starts sounding like an absolute tragedy.

Gen X isn't burning out because they're tired of working. They’re opting out because they finally calculated the real cost of being absent.

@prairiehsewife My in laws were the same, especially my MIL. My parents are long gone, my children never knew. It devastates me as I know my parents would have bent over backwards to spend time with their grandchildren. My kids are now old enough to see my MIL's behavior for what it is. So sad.

I’d like to report a robbery: it’s the City of Miami budget!

These Miami Mafiosos just passed a $3.7 BILLION budget filled with grift and graft.

The commission didn’t double in size, the population didn’t double, the city workforce didn’t double, lord knows the quality and quantity of our services haven’t doubled — the cost of government DOUBLED.

This mayor and commission are going to bankrupt the city — while enriching themselves and their cronies… #BecauseMiami

🚨 There it is…

In a rare moment of honesty, The Atlantic’s David Brooks admitted something that should be a crime—and proves exactly why President Trump banned certain media outlets.

“Starting in 2015, we in the Main Stream Media learned that if you bash Donald Trump, the clicks go up, the ratings go up— it became the business model.

And we get to go to sometimes off the record dinners between journalists, columnists, and politicians. And I would say over the last two years, when you were at a dinner with Democrat politicians, there was distance between the journalists and democrats.

They’re politicians, it’s our job to keep some distance. In my view, in many of the places I’ve been to, there’s no distance anymore. And that is the problem for the media. We have to establish some distance from the Democratic Party. These are people we cover, these are not people we root for. We’re not supposed to be spin doctors for them…”

We have a problem…

Average retired couple Social Security benefits: $38,500 a year.

Max Household Welfare Program Value: $80,000 a year.

Retired Americans who paid taxes their entire lives can get less than a household of illegals.

Americans are robbed and abused.

So wrong.

Archaeologists found the oldest evidence of Christianity in Northern Europe.

A silver amulet, buried with a man between 230 and 270 AD.

Scientists used CT scanning to digitally unroll the scroll and it said: “Holy, holy, holy! In the name of Jesus Christ, Son of God.”
