LORI CHAVEZ-DeREMER: We have almost 25,000 people over 115 years old who are collecting $59 million... 28,000 people between 1 and 5 years old have collected fraudulent payments of $254 million. Lastly, 10,000 people who have not been born yet. 15 years into the future. $69 million. And they haven't even been born yet.

Tens of thousands of people are stealing hundreds of millions of our tax dollars.
Everyone should be in favor of exposing and ending this fraud.
Thank you, Elon Musk and Secretary Chavez-DeRemer!

Biden's War on Black Americans

We went from the lowest Black unemployment to our tax dollars paying for crack pipes to ship into Black communities.

Vote like your life depends on it.

The Democrat Cabal's installation of Biden as president has been a disaster for the American people.

The crap coming from the Biden regime is the sort of stuff people claimed Donald Trump would do as president.
President Trump championed freedom and delivered prosperity for the people.
Biden is stripping Americans of their freedoms and burdening us with inflation.
Are you better off than you were six months ago?
Vote Democrats out in 2022 to thwart the damage being done by the Demcrats.

Self-Identified Conservatives Voted For This

I would once again like to congratulate my Very Smart liberal friends for this assault on the First Amendment, Critical Race Theory in schools, war in the Mid East and rising gas and food prices. At least you didn’t have to sully yourself by voting for Orange Man. https://t.co/Mh64rg5MMt
— Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) July 15, 2021

I no longer use the term "Never Trumpers." They self-identify as conservatives, but no conservative would support and enable the Biden regime.
By voting for Biden and his radical Leftist policies, they proclaimed themselves against President Trump and his effective, conservative policies bringing peace and prosperity to the American people.
These people are not to be confused with conservatives. They are Leftists, voting for an assault on our freedoms, the Marxist indoctrination of our children, inflation, unemployment, and conflict in the Middle East.
Words and labels are empty. Actions matter.

Biden on His Horrific Job Numbers

So how is he planning to enforce this? pic.twitter.com/9Q9WjUnBze
— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 10, 2021

Biden is just babbling. What a rambling mess!

The people calling the shots for the Biden Regime realize they need to address the fact that Americans are being paid not to work. They drag Biden out to say that people offered a job will not receive unemployment benefits. That's unenforceable.
They have no intention of stripping unemployment benefits from anyone. They want control. They want cheap immigrant labor.

And that's potentially healthy. It makes -- Michelle was saying earlier I like tough questions because it keeps me on my toes. Well, this will keep America on its toes."

We don't want people to stop fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow the economy."

"If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."

----------------------------

"It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them.
