I support America, the military, and the Constitution. I fly the American flag. If you don't like a little sarcasm every now & then, you may not like my post.
Allow me to explain what I believe is a scenario that might well be in play.
As this post notes, the Vice President is the President of the Senate (U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 3) and can exercise considerable control over the body when necessary.
Welp, America desperately needs the SAVE America Act passed to secure our elections moving forward. The problem, as it stands, is mainly the filibuster
In order to get cloture, and therefore end the filibuster, you need a 2/3 (60-vote) requirement to then move on to a vote... at which point only a simple majority (51 votes) is needed to pass the law.
Did I mention the House has already passed a version?
The point is that since it's already been passed by the House, having Vance step in could be the vehicle by which we envoke the so-called 'Nuclear Option' to get this pushed through, and just in time for the November election.
NOTE: This may well have been the plan all along. If true, then Thune may have been in on the ruse the whole time by playing the obstructionist, taking the heat until the time is ripe.
Given the time needed to have the SAVE the America Act in place, as well as the necessity for the states to implement it by November, I expect this is likely to happen (if it does) in July or August.
And since it's already passed the House, the Senate could theoretically end debate and pass the legislation, putting it on the President's desk to sign into law in just a few hours if/when they choose.
Strategically, giving the Democrats the least amount of time to fight it, much less try to figure out a way to cheat around it, makes a whole helluva lot of sense to me.
@PaulGoldEagle So when you can no longer afford your taxes, they just take it from you. Our taxes went up 43% in 2024 and another 21.9% in 2025. This is GA. We got super inflated home values too.
📢📢📢📢Be sitting down, this is bad, really bad: pensions.
"The states have put everyone's house up as collateral on bonds that they leveraged 20 to 1. This means they BORROWED 20 million for every 1 MILLION they had in tax revenue."
Found in at least Texas, Florida and Maryland - what state and local governments have done is borrowed 20 to 1 against your home property tax revenues.
They have been fraudulently inflating home values - 40% overvalued even - by just putting a few thousands of them on a spreadsheet, working backwards to figure out how much they want, then using those to do standard deviation/comparables, to determine appraisal values of homes across the area.
Effect: fraudulent, dramatic increases in tax appraisal values where of course your property tax bill skyrockets.
A govt. entity such as a school wants a new building, bam! no problem as they use the tax streams from all your homes, say it is $1 million, to go out and borrow $20 million. Highly leveraged!!!
And where does this money come from? Your pensions.
Now rinse and repeat. Remember the rates going up based on fraudulently inflated appraisals due to made up comps.....where now instead of $1 million tax revenue there is $1.4 million.
What does the State and local govts do? Go out and borrow more using leveraged bonds. Where is this money coming from? Your pensions. Including teacher pensions.
It is a vicious cycle including the crooks in the state and local govt. repeating fraudulently inflating property values again, and again and again. Your property tax rates keep going up, they have been doing it for years.
The kicker: hundreds of billions of bonds are coming due, no one really knows how big this is. Your property tax revenues have been spent for decades in the future....and that money is gone.
In Texas alone there are $32 billion in bonds coming due in 12-18 months. And, $30 billion in mortgages due in the same time frame. There is no money to pay them off. And now it is being exposed all those billions were obtained via fraud - who is going to want to refinance those?
The only solution to what is coming is either property taxes skyrocket even more! Or, bankrupting of teacher pensions, other pensions, people losing homes because they cannot afford property taxes and school board bankruptcies.
As Draza Smirh stated "Now I think I understand why those school board races have been so important to control."
I can't remember how many times I have published and stated in interviews Smurfing is found even in some school board races - is this why? To cover it.
Watch 5:37min video published by @thepeoplesaudit Thank you to Kris Jurski for digging deeping into this; the million dollar question is how many states is this happening in??
I have no idea if this is connected but yesterday Warren Buffett is selling real estate investments, google it.

@Rothmus Jackson is a no for me. I wish we had better choices for SOS. I was hoping Kelvin would have been at least in the run off. But we know we can't trust GA so.......
If SCOTUS rules the way I expect it to and finds that counting votes for weeks/days after Election Day is unconstitutional, the meltdown by the CHEATERS is gonna be SPECTACULAR.
"MY GOD MAN, IF I CAN'T USE RACE-BASED MAPS AND NOW I CAN'T 'FIND' BALLOTS TO COUNTS FOR 17 DAYS AFTER ELECTION DAY, WHAT THE FUCK EXACTLY **AM** I ALLOWED TO DO IN THESE ELECTIONS?! THIS IS JUDICIAL TYRANNY!!!!"
A Muslim passenger:
"Excuse me, can you turn off the music?"
The driver:
"Why?"
The passenger:
"Music is haram."
The driver:
"Why is music haram?"
The passenger:
"Because there was no music in the time of prophet Muhammad."
The driver:
"Well, get off then. There were no cars back then either. A camel will come pick you up."

@laralogan I feel like we need to scrap (except for a very few) almost the whole dam bunch. We could replace them with random people picked from a phone book and they would do a better job.
@FFT1776 They are just the latest rino's in this round of votes. Look at the ones who gaveled in. Next time will use a few different deserters? How many are really corrupt? How many are involved in other outside endeavors? They take turns at sabotage. Just some questions to ask?
Any Republican senators calling out Tillis, Murkowski, McConnell or Collins? Any Republican senators calling out Majority Leader Thune? Nope. None. It's political cowardice. Hold them all accountable. Every single Republican senator who refuses to call out and condemn Thune and the 4 RINOs should be primaried.
@AwakenedOutlaw And works for free. Just like our founding fathers served for free. In the beginning, politicians were not paid because it breeded corruption. Today is a perfect example.
