Paying into Social Security every paycheck? This is going to make you FURIOUS .
Sidenote: Stop voting for democrats that steal your hard earned money!!!
HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible]
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent]
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following.
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!
The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though.
Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so but it’s worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?

As we all seek to untangle the infiltration that Susie Wiles created, one name is being brought up over and over and over again.
Brooke Rollins.
Corruption, lobbyist influence, stalling the agenda, subverting MAHA, people on the ground are saying it keeps tracing straight back to her.
But then that leads us straight to Heidi Overton who Brooke Rollins put in power.
Man Susie’s web of corruption and subversion runs so deep it’s appalling.
Susie Wiles was just the beginning.
I am gathering names and continuing to talk to people inside.
Others who are pure of heart and motivated only by love of country are doing the same.
She’s still got major players on her side embedded in the admin. They never should’ve been let in.
We have SO much more work to do purging the administration and taking back our movement.
Pray. We need divine intervention.
This is why kids aren't learning anything in schools. Teachers have to put up with this crap every class session. Wastes so much class time, endangers kids, hurts those who actually want to learn. It's ridiculous - and the troublemakers stay in school to cause more problems!

There actually was no sincere apology for what they did, they just turned it into a gun safety issue, as if the gun was responsible for their hateful speech. These two women need to be off the air permanently.

Governor DeSantis says the NUMBER ONE reason Republicans lost is corruption like Susie Wiles lobbying schemes, insider trading and prediction markets.
DeSantis says you are going to find out the extent of it when Democrats start investigating.
“Think about it. You show up to Congress. You've never displayed any investment acumen in your life. All of a sudden, you're meeting Warren Buffett with this suspiciously timed trade.
Oh! A company that is actually under one of your committee's jurisdictions. That is just something. And then you see all the other things. And you're going to see a lot more in the news, I think, in the next few months. And that's going to be the focal point, probably, of the Democrats' investigations and oversight.
But the reality is that was the number one issue that voters thought was important. It was even more important, if you look at the polling, than economy. And that was very high, too. And then it was just general lack of confidence in Republicans beyond that.
I get elected to Congress in 2012, sold the stocks. I’ve never traded a stock in elected office. Why? Because I don't want to be in a situation where I do something and then, oh, you did this and you voted this way, you did that. I’ve never done it.
I declined the pension as a member of Congress and the health care. In governor, we've increased pay for state employees a bunch of times. I never took it for governor. My salary is the same as it was there.
The idea that public service is a way to leverage power to enrich yourself was anathema to what our founders believed.
And so I've tried to lead by example with how I behave. But what you're seeing in Washington is clearly not consistent with what our founders believe was necessary to kind of create a foundation for a successful republic. So I think we should ban the congressional stock trading.
You should not allow them to be making money on prediction markets. You should not be able to allow the way the lobbyists and everything happens. So there's definitely things that need to be cleaned up.
Republicans should be leading this. Weren't we the ones saying, drain the swamp not a few years ago? And yet the Democrats now are able to take that and they're making hay out of it. But that was a big issue.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.”
They didn't apologize, they turned it into a gun violence issue. We see you @ivehaditpodcast

THE EMAIL
Subject: Immediate termination of your sponsorship of the I've Had It podcast
I am writing to demand that you immediately and permanently pull all advertising from the I've Had It podcast.
Your continued sponsorship of this programming is no longer aligned with consumer expectations. Consumers expect the brands they support to maintain clear standards regarding the content they choose to finance.
Maintaining advertising agreements with this program signals a disregard for these concerns.
Please deactivate all active promotional codes, terminate the advertising agreement, and confirm the cessation of your sponsorship immediately. Until this corrective action is taken, support for your products will be withheld.
THE GOODISH GUYS
These companies have ceased (or “paused,” in Zenni Optical’s case) all sponsorship of the show. These brands have completely severed operational ties, disabled their custom backend links, and deactivated coupon codes, but are only confirming it when directly asked via customer service . They have yet to make a public statement saying so.

THE EMAIL
Subject: Transparency request regarding your advertising with the I've Had It podcast
I appreciate that your team has deactivated active promo codes and backend affiliate funnels linked to the I've Had It podcast. Removing financial support is an important first step.
However, resolving this matter entirely requires clear public transparency.
Relying on quiet customer service templates or link removals leaves consumers in doubt about where your brand stands. I urge you to release a clear, public statement on your primary social feeds confirming your permanent exit, just as other major brands have done.
Clear communication allows consumers to confidently evaluate which brands to support. I look forward to seeing your formal public statement soon.
THE GOOD GUYS
These companies have ceased all sponsorship of the podcast and made public-facing statements to this effect.

The Senate needs one more person to sign onto the letter to block Thune from being the minority leader. Who will be the patriot to do it?
🚨 PUSH TO DELAY SENATE GOP LEADERSHIP VOTE GAINS MOMENTUM❗️
With John Thune running unopposed, pressure is building to postpone Tuesday’s vote.
@SenJohnKennedy is the latest to publicly back the effort, signing Sen. Ron Johnson’s letter calling for a delay.
TODAY, Sen. Ron Johnson and Sen. Rick Scott made their case to @KayleighMcEnany:
@SenRonJohnson: “I think we ought to delay these elections. We ought to have robust, robust, soul searching discussions.”
@SenRickScott: “Let's sit down and decide what we're going to do differently. Then we can decide who's going to be the leader.”
Will Senate Republicans DELAY Tuesday’s vote? ⬇️ @FoxNews

Every state with a Republican legislature should immediately pass legislation to ban ballot harvesting.
