Free healthcare at that price!
 
The Sunlight is spreading...


Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss:

- We want the EO’s that Trump signed in Britian.
- We want drill baby drill.
- We want men banned from women's bathrooms & women's sports.
- We want Illegal immigrants deported.
- We want taxes to be cut.
- We want a Trump resolution in Britain.
- We want Elon and his nerd army of muskrats examining the British deep state.

I look at it a bit differently. If the government is able to provide free healthcare to all the illegals they have imported, then they can certainly provide free healthcare to tax paying legal citizens. But they won't.



It's a bit like them arming other countries because they view them as their "allies". Yet, they would like nothing better than to disarm us taxpaying citizens. What message, exactly, does that send?

‘No sane country would stand for this’: Lawmakers launch effort to withdraw the US from UN​

FIRST ON FOX: Republican lawmakers have launched an effort to withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations, amid concern that the international humanitarian and human rights organization fails to promote American interests and align with President Donald Trump’s "America First" agenda.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, introduced legislation Thursday called the Disengaging Entirely From the United Nations Debacle Act of 2025, which would terminate U.S. membership in the U.N. and its affiliated bodies, and funding to those groups. Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., is co-sponsoring the measure in the upper chamber.

Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, is poised to introduce the measure in the House Friday, claiming that the U.N. and its bodies don’t advance the interests of Americans.

No reason except the insanity of Leftist leaders; and the stupidity of Leftist sheeplike voters.

There is an obvious pattern here: If Trump wants something, the Dumbos and the fake Independents, all come out AGAINST it. Trump wants accountability in money spent - and all of a sudden, WASTE is our most-important national resource! How can these kooks defend sending SS checks to 140-year-old recipients? They do; don't ask why.

So they'll reflexively, mindlessly, begin hysterically defending "that great forum for peace" and call for Trump's Impeachment.

I can hardly contain the excitement when they pass a ruling to make voting a one day holiday with ID required.

Mitch won't be around for that.

He's also been told by his nurses that he can't run for another term. And the way he's looking, maybe he doesn't even need be told that. Perhaps he'll be as vibrant as Depends Joe Biden, when the primaries roll around.

And perhaps he'll be ambient temperature. That would suit me fine. The one comforting thing, is that the pimple on the gluteus of the nation, never will have gotten a pleasant retirement.

It won't be this year but after seeing how the tariffs work for a year he may have a shot at it in year 2 or 3.
That doesn't mean they won't be able to tax you, they will just have to do it constitutionally.

Really needs to get manufacturing up and running in the US. However, everyone is saying Ai is going to be running everything so where's the job creation going to come from? If AI isn't going to be running everything then why so much money being thrown at it?
 
Some questions that need answering.
Why is Chelsea Clinton getting 3.9 million a year from US aid?
How did the Obama foundation come up with a billion dollars to fund his library? He doesn't want to talk about his finances though.
Can we get forensic audits on all of the credit cards the US government employees were using?
Congressmen are running up 100's of thousands on their expense accounts while the average American is earning about 65k a year. Might want to take a deeper dive there as well.
In fact any politician with a foundation or charity should be heavily scrutinized.
 

Mike Johnson Pours Cold Water on Trump’s DOGE Refund Idea​

Speaker Mike Johnson pushed back Thursday against an idea floated by President Donald Trump to reward U.S. taxpayers with DOGE stimulus checks.

The time isn’t right, the speaker argued, to send savings from Elon Musk’s cost-cutting efforts back to Americans in the form of dividend checks.

“I mean, politically, that would be great for us,” Johnson said in a speech to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday.

He said the president certainly “got everybody’s attention” but that “if you think about our core principles, right, fiscal responsibility is what we do as conservatives.” Instead, he said, the savings from Musk’s slashing of government programs and firings of federal workers should be used to pay down the national debt.
