What did Veteran’s get?

Exactly!

Exactly!

Minor correction the billions come from taxpayers, present and future, not from a bill.

Biden’s America:

Wages are up 4.6% from last year, but the prices of food, shelter, and gas -- 62% of the average American household budget -- are up 27%. Tack on insurance, healthcare, and clothes, and 85% of the average budget costs 22% more than it did last year.

From Politico, no “right wing” publication:
Sixteen Thirty Fund, the behemoth secret-money nonprofit on the left, spent a whopping **$410 million** in 2020 per new tax docs, funding anti-Trump and Senate ads and a host of other programs.
Pierre Omidyar self-disclosed being the Sixteen Thirty Fund’s $45M donor earlier this year. Other major known donors to Sixteen Thirty Fund include nonprofits founded by Hansjorg Wyss and George Soros

Paul, your myth that the Democrats are but poor church mouses in this game is demonstrably false. Add to that BUILD BACK BETTER gives the richest people tax breaks while raising taxes & lowering of after tax income on middle income Americans

The Q'anon Shaman who stormed the Capitol on Jan 6th while looking like he was at a Buffalo Bills game was sentenced to more than three years in prison.

Two predictions:

1) Trump will be president again before he gets out

2) Trump will pardon no one. Not because he doesn't approve of what happened, but because it would not be useful enough for him in any kind of a selfish way, so he just doesn't care. He shouldn't pardon them. He will opt to not do the wrong thing, but his reasons for doing so will not be the right ones.

From Reuters just now:

The Biden administration has asked some of the world’s largest oil consuming nations to consider releasing some of their crude reserves in a coordinated effort to lower prices and stimulate the economic recovery, according to several people familiar with the matter.

What a dumpster fire. Cut off American energy production and beg Middle Eastern countries.
Let’s Go Brandon!!!

3 years for trespassing.... Think about that...

Still waiting for a BLM or Antifa scum bag to be locked-up....

That's justice in America right now. The anger in this country is building. The Dems cannot continue backing conservatives and middle America into a corner without seeing a massive backlash. It's coming...
