Just a mom and grandma concerned for their future. GenX. MAGA but not an Ultra Maga or whatever the latest is. I just want our country back.

As long as Republicans act like Congress is a gentlemen’s club, while Democrats act like a street gang, America is lost.

You know what lady? I saw your post earlier today and at first I just laughed it off. I even made fun of it in a post of my own. But then as the day wore on, I started to get mad the more I thought about what you said and the wretched comparison you attempted to make. Then I saw Data Republican’s takedown on you, and it turns out you are yet another spoiled fatcat making riches off the Deep State. Now I am PI$$ED OFF. Let me tell you a few things. A dear friend died in the Pentagon on 9/11. Her name was Rosemary Chapa. She was a senior civilian in the Defense Intelligence Agency who worked her way up from being a clerk/typist. She was all of about five feet tall, she loved her husband, her children and her grandchildren, and she collected bottles of hot sauce (they were all over her cubicle when I worked with her). She was one of the most joyful people I have ever known. Her laugh was infectious and she lit up every room she walked into. And terrorists murdered her on 9/11. Those same terrorists started wars that I then served in multiple times, at great personal cost. I lost friends and colleagues in battle, and I was fortunate enough to come home with my body intact, unlike so many of my peers. Like many, I still bear the invisible scars of that day and the many days after. And all President Trump is doing is improving the White House so we have a grand facility to hold events with foreign leaders, rather than sticking them in the backyard in a drafty tent. That is ALL HE IS DOING, for my benefit and for yours. HOW DARE YOU COMPARE THAT SIMPLE ACT OF AMERICAN EXCELLENCE TO 9/11. HOW DARE YOU. HAVE YOU NO DECENCY, MA’AM????? Your despicable post disgraces Rosemary, everyone who died that day, everyone who served and suffered thereafter, and pretty much everything that brave Americans have endured for 24 years. You disgust me. You should delete this post, delete your account, hang your head in shame and contemplate some way that you can show valid repentance for this disgusting display of America-hatred. DISGUSTING. Now scram.
It’s feels almost the same as when I saw the Pentagon damage on 9/11.

This is important--money is fungible--and it's why the Democrat and media lie that health care is not going to illegals is so preposterous. Consider, for instance, two state Medicaid programs--Ohio and New York. New York gives Medicaid to illegals and Ohio doesn't. When the government gives billions of dollars to New York for Medicaid, that frees up state money in New York that can then be spent on illegals. It's like if you give a mobster $100 but he PROMISES you he won't spend the money to buy a gun and commit a crime. Well, he takes the $100 you gave him and buys food, and then takes the money he would have spent on food and uses that money to buy the gun instead. This is what "money is fungible" means. Additionally, because medical services are limited in supply, when an illegal accesses health. care, it drives up the cost for everyone. So New Yorkers are paying a higher price for medical services, and the federal government is subsidizing those higher prices. So everyone in the media, from George Stephanopoulos to Jake Tapper, repeating these Democrat talking points, is engaged in the Democrat propaganda war. Democrats shut down the government to give health care money to illegal aliens. It's really that simple.
Here is how it works… federal dollars go to a Democrat state for healthcare, and since money is fungible, they then move state dollars over to fund illegals, which is made possible by federal dollars filling the gap where state dollars should be going. So functionally federal dollars make funding healthcare for illegals possible. On top of that, a lot of this money funds the infrastructure that is then used to provide healthcare benefits to illegals. On top of that, any illegals committing fraud that has gone undetected could qualify for coverage, and how hard are liberal states looking at that problem? Not much at all.

Right now, democrats are beating us more than 2-1 in requested mail-in ballots for THIS November in Pennsylvania. It’s going to be a very low turnout election. If we don’t get ourselves together, we’ll be stuck with a democrat PA Supreme Court until 2035. Yes, 2035.

Tulsi Gabbard stepped down as Vice Chair of the DNC to endorse Bernie Sanders after seeing how rigged the process was against him. His vote on her will tell us if he has any shred of integrity left or if he ever had any at all. Tulsi spoke out for what was right; it’s time for him to do the same. He should be a firm YES on confirming her.

the most destructive movement of the last ten years wasn't just wokism. it was the media's lockstep anti-trumpism. think about all the horrible decisions related to the biggest calamities we faced. they were excused or denied by the media, because of their irrational opposition to trump. the biggest examples: -Crime. if you admitted that progressive policies energized criminality and cost many innocent lives - that would put you on the side of Trump. So you can't do that, decides the media. so theft and violence became routine. recidivism exploded. -immigration. if you admitted that unfettered illegal immigration stressed all our country's systems, as well as introducing more violent crime - that would put you on the side of trump. you can't do that - decides the media. So it kept going, and people died. -Covid. if you admitted that Covid came from China, likely a lab leak - then you were on the side of Trump. So you can' do that either - that would be racist, said the media. instead we embraced absurd notions about bat soup. -Biden. if you admitted he was unfit for office, and reported on it honestly - you were siding with trump. So you cant do that - in fact - you must say that Joe is better than ever, and those who disagree are cruel, ending up with a rudderless country sinking in chaos. Looking back - its obvious. A mass delusion driven by bitterness, ego and an emotional infantilism brought this country to the brink. So when the media starts hitting the panic button, laugh at them. They caused this mess. We'll clean it up. They no longer matter.

99% of people have NO IDEA what a "recess appointment" is, or why it is CRITICAL to a President being able to govern. TIME FOR ANOTHER LESSON IN HOW WASHINGTON WORKS: 1/
Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner. Sometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY! Additionally, no Judges should be approved during this period of time because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU!
