That's a great number. The NK event I went to here was about 1,000. I'm a Texan who lived in SoCal for 16 years, including 2 in Palm Springs, before retiring. Would like to move back. Maybe next year. ๐Ÿ™‚

I know someone who voted for him in 2016 because she's conservative. In 2018, she said he was mentally ill. In 2020, she voted for him again. Apparently, getting what they want is more important to these people than saving the country from chaos.

Have we had a decade in recent history without spending billions on wars? Maybe if we stopped killing people, there would be money to feed people.

They should all be ashamed of themselves for many, many reasons. The whole problem is that they are not. Talk about arrested development.

I believe the victims. They said that maxwell was as bad as, if not worse than, epstein.

Maybe we need to tell the #MAGA politicians, "Good luck in your future endeavors, because the career you have now is ending soon."

Ex-CIA Whistleblower: "The NSA Audited The 2024 Election, Kamala Harris Won" Math doesnโ€™t lieโ€”people do. A buried NSAโ€‘authorized audit paved the way for this unelected illegitimate regime.

I very rarely post a link to someone else's newsletter...as I have my own. This, however...is a MUST see.

She's now sitting at a minimum security prison less than 90 miles away from me, and I gotta say, that's creeping me out.

I'm a native Texan who moved away for work in 2000. It wasn't like it is now when I left, and the main thing that changed while I was gone was Republicans getting into power. They're the ones who screwed it all up.

In 2018, Pastor Ed Young of Houston's Second Baptist Church said that Democrats were Godless people. Now, I think we can turn that around and say with certainty that Republicans are Godless people.

Thinking about retiring in Texas? Think again. Why the Lone Star State named one of the worst states for retirement Texas might be famous for its warm weather and low taxes, but a recent BankRate survey has ranked it as one of the worst states for retirement.

In 5 years, these DOGE cuts and the Big Ugly Bill will hurt rural America 10x worse than anything Clinton/Gore did, don't you think? And all the Repubs did was add to the debt.

It just seems like the Repubs running around like their hair is on fire, yelling about the debt, is just a distraction to make it seem like they care about the future. Clinton/Gore made surgical cuts and balanced the budget. F47 let the muskrat take a chainsaw to it, with no regard to who he killed.

Take note, #Republicans. You claim you want to balance the budget. If you aren't lying, maybe take a LONG look at what Al Gore and Bill Clinton did. Anything else you do is waste, fraud, and abuse.

They do want to privatize it and turn it over to some company that can charge people for it. Whoever they turn it over to will pay them millions. I don't think those in charge want to be in the business of providing any services at all to the American people in exchange for our taxes.
