🚨 HOLY CRAP. Dr. Oz just blew the lid off Tim Walz's complicity in his own state's Medicaid Housing Program surging +3,900% PERCENT IN COST 2020: $2.5 million 2024: $100M+ 🤯 The fraud was so bad, they SHUT IT DOWN "That is a 40-fold increase in four years! That's impossible to stand, if you're even paying a SLIGHT bit of attention to what you're doing, you would never let that happen. Unfortunately, it looks like that was the norm in many instances!" The money was supposed to help disabled and elderly Minnesota residents stay housed. Instead, 3rd world invaders and thieves PILLAGED IT Walz watched it explode for FOUR YEARS! He was complicit.

Parents protest the cost of day care. Government says: “We’ll pay!” But government money comes with government rules. Those rules make day care WORSE. “Those rules... don't end up helping kids as much as raising costs," says @carrielukas of @IWF.

I'm in Georgia this morning. Gas prices are $3.65 per gallon on average, per AAA. In Illinois, a gallon today costs $4.89. Nearly $1.25 per gallon more expensive for Illinoisans. One big reason? Gasoline taxes. While @GovPritzker has been hiking gas taxes since 2019, now the 2nd- or 3rd-highest in the country, Georgia has kept them low. And Gov. Kemp has even suspended the 33 cent motor fuel tax for now. Policies matter. Illinoisans need relief. Via @Fight4Illinois #twill

Every American needs to be aware of this before they vote during Midterms A Muslim Islamic Military wrote a letter to Americans urging them to Vote Democrat “The fact that the IRGC is writing a 25 page letter to Americans urging them to vote Democrat in the midterms is literally the only reason you need to not vote Democrat. Because I'm sorry, but if a military from another country, especially a military that funds numerous terrorist organizations, is telling me who to vote for in my elections, that is automatically telling me who I'm not voting for. And the fact that they addressed this letter to the scholars, the students, and the media of America proves exactly what I've been saying about the left this entire time. They know exactly who was brainwashed over on that side. Like, I hope you guys hear these alarm bells going off Because this is the same organization that committed a hostile takeover of the country of Iran and has been criticized by numerous countries and organizations for committing human rights violations. And they are telling you to vote Democrat. And by the way, after the takeover of this country by a literal terrorist organization” “The fact that these are the types of people across the world that are backing the Democrat Party should be alarming to you” This election is not about Red vs Blue. It’s about losing our country, reopening our border and eventually living under Sharia Law, or saving America The Democrat Party is the party Muslims are using for the Islamic takeover of America. They WILL bring down America You have to Vote Red

🚨 They wrote "WHITE MALE" on the booking sheet. He's an illegal alien from El Salvador. Javiel Pena Sola is facing three felony hit-and-run charges after a July 18 crash in Salisbury, North Carolina that left three people dead. He ran from the scene. Three families are burying loved ones because a man who never should have been in this country got behind the wheel. Then the paperwork quietly turns him into a white guy so the numbers look clean. This is how they hide the real cost of open borders. Every one of these deaths was preventable.
🚨HOLY CRAP!!! It has been revealed that the man who smashed into the car of 3 people in North Carolina, k*lling all of them... ...IS A MULTI-TIME CONVICTED CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIEN FROM EL SALVADOR!!! He is labelled as a "WHITE MALE" in the charging documents. One passenger was still alive, but Sola FLED THE SCENE... the passenger didn't make it. Witnesses say they heard a person screaming in pain at the crash, but by the time EMS got there and airlifted the passenger, it was too late. Police had to bring in a K-9 team to track Javiel Sola down after he fled the scene of the crash, leaving all three victims. Javiel Sola has been not just arrested, but CONVICTED for reckless endangerment, failure to stop after accident involving damage to attended vehicle, and driving without a license in Maryland in July 2015 + he ALSO has an arrest for escaping from custody. Despite all of this... he was never deported. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!

Do you understand what happens when we deport ALL the illegal immigrants? - Wages increase - Rent prices fall - Traffic decreases - Insurance rates fall - Insurance rates drop - Housing prices plummet - Welfare spending plummets - Hospital overcrowding eases - Crime dramatically decreases - Classrooms become less crowded - Teenagers can get good jobs again - Court systems become less burdened - Competition for starter homes drops - Emergency rooms become less strained - Nearly all prices on everything drops - All government services are less strained Literally every single thing in life gets better if we just deport them all.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 WHY THE IRANIAN SHIA MAHDIST REGIME CANNOT HAVE A NUKE! Most people think they know why Iran is dangerous. The missiles. The proxies. The "death to America" chants. All real. But none of it is the part that should actually keep you up at night. The part nobody explains to you is what some of these men believe about how the world ends. Here it is in plain English: The branch of Islam that runs Iran believes in a figure called the Twelfth Imam, also known as the Mahdi. The story goes that over a thousand years ago, God hid him away as a child, and he's been alive and waiting in hiding ever since. One day he comes back. And when he does, he crushes evil, fills the earth with justice, and the final judgment of the world begins. Now here's the catch, and it's the whole ballgame. In this belief, the Mahdi doesn't show up in peaceful, happy times. He comes back when the world is drowning in chaos, war, and bloodshed. The darkness is what summons him. The worse things get, the closer he is. Sure, plenty of Muslims don't take any of this literally. Doesn't matter. It's not the guy on the street in Tehran who should worry you. It's the men holding the weapons. And the men holding the weapons are the WORST of them. The regime itself was built on this. Its whole reason to exist is to hold the fort until the Mahdi returns. Their former president Ahmadinejad said it out loud, poured money into the shrine where they believe he reappears, and flatly stated his job was to prepare the world for the return. But the real danger is the IRGC and the Quds Force. These are not the regular army. They're the fanatical core, the true believers, the vanguard of the entire revolution. They run the proxies. They built the martyrdom cult. And this end-times belief burns hottest right there, in the exact hands that control Iran's hard power. Now connect the dots. Everything that's kept nukes from being fired for 80 years rests on one assumption. Your enemy wants to live. They call it mutually assured destruction, and it only works if both sides fear death. You don't push the button because you know you die too. So what do you do with men who believe the fire at the end of the world isn't the end? Who believe that cataclysm is the doorway their savior walks through? For them, the very thing that stops everyone else isn't a deterrent. It might be the point! That's the nightmare. Not that Iran is crazy. That a piece of its leadership might be rational by a logic where burning down the world counts as winning. You cannot deter a man who's not afraid to die. And you sure as hell cannot hand him a nuke. That's why this one red line is the only one that matters. These people can never be allowed to go nuclear. Not because of what they'd do in a war. Because of what they believe comes after one.

Anne-Marie Waters, former Director of the National Secular Society, speaks at Oxford and describes the horrors of Islam “We were told that we are demonizing Islam, whipping up fear of Islam — let me tell you what actually whips up fears of Islam: - 9/11 - The London Underground bombings - Madrid train bombings -Mumbai attacks - Bali bombings - Northern Nigeria killed 40,000+ - Sudan killed thousands - Mali killed thousands - Afghanistan Muslims have killed over 100,000 - Pakistan killed 10s of thousands Saudi Arabia, Iran and Yemen all have Ongoing executions for apostasy, blasphemy, adultery, sodomy Islamic countries have: - Death for apostasy - Death for blasphemy - Death for adultery - Death for homosexuality - Gender segregation - Gender discrimination - Unequal testimony between men and women in legal proceedings - Child marriage - Amputations - Beheadings - Imprisonment for being raped - Anti-Semitism - Burqas - Execution” - Polygamous marriages - Marriage not requiring the consent of the bride” “The slaughter of Theo van Gogh on the streets of Amsterdam. Death threats on the streets of London, butcher those who insult Islam, Muslim patrols in East London telling people they are entering Sharia-controlled zones” “This is what causes fear of Islam. It is not me, it is not my colleagues on this side.” “Why don't I see it as peaceful? Because of the evidence. If I look around the world and I see the countries where Islam calls the shots, all I see is brutality and violence imposed by the state” Here is the death count from some of the attacks from Muslims she named: - 9/11 attacks (2001): 2,977 - London Underground / 7/7 bombings (2005): 52 - Madrid train bombings (2004): 193 - Mumbai attacks (2008): 166 1 Bali bombings (2002): 202 We need mass deportations of Muslims from western nations

🚨 DISGUSTING: Police say a man took a SLEDGEHAMMER to the Iwo Jima statue outside Marine Corps Base Quantico and knocked the HEAD off one of the Marines. Officers say they caught 27-year-old Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano "actively damaging" the monument Wednesday night. Damage is estimated in the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars. He's charged with felony injury to a monument and felony destruction of property, and he's being held without bond. Those Marines bled on Iwo Jima so this country would stay free. Throw the book at him.

Want to know the difference between communism and capitalism? You don't need a history book. Look no further than the Korean Peninsula. In 1953 the Korean War came to ceasefire and one country became two. Same people. Same language. Same history. Same starting line. The North chose communism. The South chose capitalism. Here is the scorecard 72 years later. ECONOMY - South Korea: 14th largest economy in the world. - North Korea: 150th. - Per person, South Korea ranks 37th. North Korea ranks 214th. - In 2025 South Korea exported $709.7 billion in goods. A record. - North Korea's total trade with China, its biggest partner, was $2.7 billion. - South Korea exports that much in less than a day and a half. HEALTH - South Korea: #5 in the world for life expectancy. - North Korea: #136. - Be born north of the line and you lose 10 years of life. - A North Korean child is 6 times more likely to die before age 5. FOOD - The UN says about 46% of North Koreans are undernourished. - That is nearly 12 million people. TECH - South Korea: #4 most innovative country on Earth. - Two South Korean companies make 70% of the world's memory chips. - South Korea sold $173 billion in chips last year alone. - 97% of South Koreans are online. - In North Korea, fewer than 10,000 people can reach the internet. That is less than 0.1% of the country. LIGHTS - Look at the peninsula from space at night. - South Korea glows. - North Korea is almost completely dark. Even the capital is a dim dot. FREEDOM - Freedom House scores South Korea 83 out of 100. - North Korea scores 3. One of the lowest on Earth. EXPORTS - South Korea gives the world Samsung, Hyundai and Blackpink. - North Korea gives the world rockets… crappy ones. Same people. Same land. Different system. Watch the line.

France has FREE health care, paid parental leave, paid family leave, FREE child care, FREE preschool, 5 weeks paid vacation, a 35 hour work week, generous unemployment and housing benefits, and heavily subsidized higher education.

The guy in charge of the ballots in Champaign County, Illinois is under federal indictment. He's also on the ballot. Clerk Aaron Ammons is charged with obstruction for allegedly helping cover for his wife, a Democrat state rep facing eight counts of wire fraud. He asked to push his own federal trial to December so he could run this election, and he got it. So how's that going? His office mailed more than 600 ballots with the wrong state House races on them. Early voting got shut down, and a lot of voters found out when they showed up. 28 people already voted on bad ballots, and those votes can't be fixed. One of the races they botched is a seat the Republican won by 269 votes last time. His wife's district got scrambled too. This is the same office that blamed a "cyberattack" in 2022, had an outage on Election Day 2024, and printed a GOP candidate's name as "Tad." Congress gave him until Friday to explain himself. Republicans asked Illinois AG Kwame Raoul to step in, and his office wouldn't even comment. If an indicted Republican clerk pulled this three weeks before an election, it would be on every network for a week. Instead it's crickets. capitolnewsillinois.com/news…

I honestly do not understand how any American who is not already a literal Communist or a literal Jihadist could vote Democrat after hearing what Slotkin said below. This is LITERALLY totalitarianism. It's not the fake "fascism" the Left likes to accuse the Right of, it is the REAL THING. Undeniably. Irrefutably. This is a sitting member of Congress who was in the CIA saying that dissent from what she believes will result in imprisonment. This is straight out of Solzhenitsyn. Straight out of Orwell. This is something an early Nazi would have said in 1932 under the Weimar Republic. Please please PLEASE share her words with everyone you know. The Democrat/Media Complex will try to bury this. It is up to us on social media, on blogs and via texts and emails to get the word out. The only way to stop these monsters is to make sure that voters who don't really keep up on politics understand the actual threat, see it with their own eyes and hear it with their own ears. Please. Spread the word to anyone who will listen. And even those who won't listen.

🚨 WOW! Dave Portnoy just went on a TIRADE destroying MI Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed "This guy makes me PUKE. Everything about him makes me PUKE! [...] You ask him about his [Islamist] ties...his WHOLE FAMILY!" "He's like, how do you ask me this question?! [...] You have a MILLION RED FLAGS, DUDE!" "'Why are you asking me that? That's racist!' NO! [...] I want to send my niece and nephew to the Univ. of Michigan...I don't want them worried about getting harassed for being Jewish and leaders be like, TOO BAD." Spot on. The future of Michigan is DARK if Mohamed gets in! Mike Rogers is THE GUY for Michigan at this point in history, and even Dems should be crossing over to get him in the Senate His own half-sister once wrote, "My family has long been MB." Rogers has a history of defending America from terrorists and jihadists, we don't have to worry about him jeopardizing national security, which should be the BARE MINIMUM 🇺🇸

Totalitarianism has historically come in many flavors: monarchy, dictatorship, fascism, communism, theocracy, etc. However, the one thing that EVERY totalitarian regime in world history has had in common is the fact that one of their first official acts after achieving power is to outlaw dissent. I'm not sure how anyone cannot understand what is at stake with the upcoming midterms: liberty or totalitarianism. Choose.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin just said that he wants to prosecute everyone who works for President Trump and that her goal is for young conservatives coming out of school to be afraid of working in a Republican administration

Ayer Francia vivió uno de sus días más violentos en décadas. Unas 550.000 personas salieron a la calle contra el alto coste de la vida, la policía detuvo a más de 1.200, hubo 150 agentes heridos y el ayuntamiento de Limoges, con más de 140 años de historia, quedó casi destruido por el fuego. La explicación que más se escucha es la de siempre: la culpa es de la «austeridad» y del «neoliberalismo». Luis Garicano publicó esta semana los números que desmontan ese cuento. En Francia viven del Estado 30 millones de adultos, entre pensionistas, empleados públicos y perceptores de ayudas, frente a 21 millones que trabajan en el sector privado. El gasto público es el 57% del PIB y el país no cierra un presupuesto equilibrado desde 1974. ¿Dónde está la austeridad? España va por el mismo camino. Según Garicano, desde 2024 cobran del Estado 18,2 millones de personas, más que los 17,9 millones que trabajan en el sector privado, y la EPA ya cuenta más empleados públicos que autónomos. Gastamos el 45% del PIB y el último superávit fue en 2007. Me explico. Cuando más de la mitad de los votantes vive del Estado, ningún político se atreve a tocar el gasto, porque recortarlo es perder elecciones. Se paga con deuda y con impuestos al que produce, cada vez produce menos gente y la vida se encarece para todos. En las calles de Francia se pide más Estado para curar lo que causó el exceso de Estado. Argentina eligió el camino contrario. Milei recortó el gasto primario un 27% en términos reales en su primer año y cerró 2024 con el primer superávit financiero en más de una década. Llevo toda la vida creando empresas en España y en Estados Unidos, y sé que cada empleo privado paga una parte del sueldo de alguien que cobra del Estado. Cuando los que cobran superan a los que pagan, la cuenta no sale. Ningún Estado puede mantener a más gente de la que lo mantiene a él.
