He's not wrong.
There's a 911 in Upstate New York!! Ain't that right @GovKathyHochul ?? Kathy, why do you hate Upstate farmers so much? Let's see what America has to say about this, shall we? If you stand with American Farmers, hit REPOST. Volume UP!👇
He is merely the end game of inflamed rhetoric calculated to murder the President, his wife, and his Cabinet. This “useful idiot” is the tip of a spear cast into the Darkness by the Democrat Party and their propaganda organs in the “press” and late night “entertainment.”
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT 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.
If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month.
That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact).
And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts.
Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They 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.
But is it our fault they misused our investments? 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.

Who’s ready to see Adam Schiff go to jail for the Russian collusion hoax, mortgage fraud, and J6 committee lies?
He’s tagged in this post! Let him hear you.
Rep. Wesley Hunt posted this to X: "Let me say this clearly.
Gavin Newsom stood in front of a room full of Black voters and tried to say, “I’m like you… I had a 960 SAT.”
No, Gavin.
You’re not like me.
I studied my butt off to get where I am.
Under no circumstances are you going to belittle us by implying that all Black people have a 960 SAT and can barely read. That’s not empathy. That’s insult disguised as relatability.
I had parents who believed in education.
We had a sign in our house that said:
“Jesus + Education = Success.”
And we meant it.
There’s a reason I earned three master’s degrees in four years from Cornell.
My brother graduated from Harvard Business School.
My sister earned her master’s in Applied Mathematics and taught at West Point while my brother and I were cadets.
And yes, we were Black the entire time we were doing it.
So when you suggest I “can’t read” or reduce us to a test score, what you’re really saying is that you think we’re all the same.
That we’re a monolith.
That this is how you see us.
That is how the Democrat party sees us.
I remember Hillary Clinton carrying hot sauce in her purse.
I remember Joe Biden saying, “If you don’t vote for me, then you ain’t Black.”
I remember Kathy Hochul claiming Black kids don’t even know what a computer is.
We have an opportunity as a party, and as a country to elevate voices that the Democrat party pretends doesn’t exist - utterly destroying the race narratives they use as political strategy.
It’s why I’m here.
We do exist, and we reject the bigotry of the Left."
When we lose the House in September, John Thune will be single-handedly responsible. But he’ll still be richer than all of you, so he just won’t care.
Republicans are seriously more dangerous to America than the foul Democrats. At least the Democrats show you how vile they are.
