So, I should pay more taxes on my savings to pay for people who did not save enough? In the end, it brings us all down to living day to day.
No thanks.
Thanks alot for this, RG.
Sheesh, for a couple of hours it was all about terrorism and now we learn it might be because of a faulty gas pedal?
Marie Harf...Trump is extreme, Marie? You are an idiot!!
As Europe rides a wave of nationalist populism, fueled by voters fed up with mass immigration and uniparty betrayal, UK’s Daily Telegraph points out that the Conservative party, for all its tough talk, from David Cameron through Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak, has dismantled border controls without public consent in order to triple migration and further transform Britain — which has gone from 7% foreign born to 16.8% in a generation. Culturally, it’s been a disaster:
Good one LG! And so true. He left those terrorists with 80 billon of our finest weapons that are probably being used agains’t us or the IDF in Gaza and other parts of the world.
SS has always been one of the worst investments ever and a huge tax burden for small business types like mine.
Christie: Trump’s Intolerant Conduct ‘Gives Others Permission to Act the Same’
Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump’s “intolerant language and conduct gives others permission to act the same.”
Anchor Dana Bash said, “I want to ask about the spike in hate against Jews in the United States. You told The New York Times that you believe Trump has contributed to this.”
Christie said, “When you show intolerance towards everyone, which is what he does, you give permission as a leader for others to have their intolerance come out. Intolerance towards anyone encourages intolerance towards everyone. That’s exactly what’s going on here. That’s been going on for some time, not just with Donald Trump, but with university professors on some of our most elite campuses in this country, with university administrators and presidents who have been unwilling to stand up against antisemitism on their campuses, most particularly. There should be no campus in this country where a Jewish student is afraid to leave their dorm, a Jewish student is afraid go to their classes, a Jewish student is afraid to go to have a meal in the dining hall. That is outrageous, and it’s wrong.”
Of course, he leaves out his own nasty mouth, as well as a ton of democrats over the past decade or two... And total nonsense. Trump is a fearless defender of the Jewish people.
THe Federal Govt.is about twice as big as it needs to be,that must be changed,it can not continue.
I disagree that it my Social Security comes out of YOUR paycheck. It is paid for by withholding. I paid for my entire adult life.
I don’t need you to give me anything.
Just give me back what I already paid in cash—I’d invest it myself, but Uncle Sam won’t allow that.
Go back and read the thread. I think you are missing my point.
SS was designed to pay those who had paid into the fund. If it’s not doing that than it needs to change to the original idea of paying only those who paid in.
Great post. No one knows any of this or just how crazy gaza muslims are. They are taught “hate jews” from cradle to grave.
Yup. I quit contract teaching because I was working to get extra money but wound up paying a fortune in fed taxes and double SS withholdings.
From now on, pay me in cash or I’m happy to stay at home and tend my garden.
I’m glad to see this but the term “Far-Right” is outrageous!
It’s nothing but a media smear. They never call European socialist parties (of which there’s many, often in power) “Far-Left”, do they?
Did I? If so, sorry, but enlighten me, please.
Each month during 2021, we paid an average of $2.8 billion in benefits to 4 million children whose parents (one or both) were retired, deceased, or were disabled. These benefits provide necessities for eligible family members and help make it possible for those children to complete school. When a parent develops a disability or dies, Social Security benefits help stabilize the family’s financial future.
Who can get child’s benefits?
To get benefits, a child must have either:
• A parent who is retired or has a disability and is entitled to Social Security benefits.
• A parent who died after having worked long enough in a job where they paid Social Security taxes.
Your unmarried child can get benefits if they are:
• Younger than age 18.
• Between ages 18 and 19 and a full-time student at an elementary or secondary school (grade 12 or below).
• Age 18 or older with a disability that began before age 22.
Under certain circumstances, we can also pay benefits to a stepchild, grandchild, stepgrandchild, or adopted child.
Cotton: Biden ‘Weakness’ Resulted in Americans Being Taken Hostage, Iran Attacking
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that President Joe Biden’s “weakness” has resulted in “Americans being taken hostage” and Iran attacking American assets in the region.
Cotton said, “It seems like President Biden puts more pressure on Israel than he does on Hamas.”
He continued, “Part of the reasons why we got to this point where we had to have a four-day pause is that the Biden administration has consistently, behind the scenes, insisted that Israel’s government take steps that are clearly not in Israel’s interests, for instance, providing fuel into Gaza, not just water or food or medicine, but fuel, which may as well be providing them with ammunition. I’m also very frustrated that we have not seen the release of a single American hostage. Perhaps there’ll be one today. But apparently, Hamas is so contemptuous of President Biden and American power that they feel the imperative to release Filipino and Thai hostages before they release American hostages. That’s just one small example of the weakness that President Biden has projected around the world that has resulted in things like Americans being taken hostage or Iran attacking Americans as more than 70 times now since or over the last month or the fall of Kabul in 2021.”
Cotton added, “Hamas is still so contemptuous of President Biden that it hasn’t yet released American hostages. This would have never happened under Donald Trump or Ronald Reagan. In fact, if you recall, Jimmy Carter had a hostage crisis with Iran. Hamas is patron for over 400 days. Iran released those hostages the day Ronald Reagan took office because they were so scared of what Ronald Reagan might do to them. You don’t see that kind of fear of President Biden from Hamas or Iran or, frankly, anyone around the world.”
The Obamalings in the Biden White House are seriously back-stabbing Israel!
