In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

SOCIAL SECURITY???
This is one of those things that “conservatives” love to critcize but refuse to part with it because they “paid into it”.
It is a SOCIALIST Ponzi program plain and simple. It’s essentially insolvent without the continued infusion of cash from younger generations.
If managed correctly(lol), there would be excess money. But….previous generations allowed the government to raid the piggy bank and spend that trust fund on other things and over the past several decades those generations have done close to nothing to fix it.
Presently, those receiving or about to receive SS benefits demand they continue to receive them regardless of the ability of the government to pay without incurring debt.
I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO FUND YOUR RETIREMENT.
CHANGE MY MIND.
PS- I not discounting the need for truly needy/disabled people to have safety net.
I have absolutely no interest in changing your mind. And, yeah, I want to get back what I and my employers paid over fifty years of my working full-time. You’re not funding my retirement. I already did that.
But for the politicians raiding it to pay for their pet projects, we would all have a very healthy retirement from the gains on our contributions over the years and decades.
Why would you trust the government with your money?
We were never given that choice; were you?
Then where is your money???
It was spent decades ago.
They still owe that money that was paid into the social security/medicare fund that was forced upon the American citizens after the Depression.
The American people had/has/have no control over the congress critters and their sticky fingers, however, the American people continue to be OWED what they paid into that FUND, like it or not.
SS/Medicare is NOT and entitlement program; that’s BS!
Many of us would have preferred taking that money and investing it the way we wanted and live with the outcome.
But Government had the control via legislation a long time ago, and continues today.
Bingo. Tired of that excuse being thrown at retirees or pre retirees that they are caving the system. They paid their way with their own dollars earned from hard work and consistency. It was mandatory, remember, in nearly every case. Had the govt. left the SS fund alone it would probably have generated enough to cover the payouts. Maybe the govt. in all it’s wisdom, should have let people invest their earnings directly instead of having a govt. run department taking care of it all. The greedy politicians running the DC scams just couldn’t keep their grubby hands off of a program that was taking in such large sums of tax dollars.
There’s plenty of money for Ukraine, the Green New Deal, and Friends of Biden. SS should be a piece of cake. Many people experience money draining crisis, unemployment, and get kicked to the curb when they get over 50 limiting their ability to save great sums.
However, those are all moot points with the coming digital currency and along with it a likely push for Universal Basic Income replacing other entitlements.
Is there plenty of money? The more abundant it becomes the less valuable it is.
There’s never enough, inflation kills more seniors than Andrew Cuomo.
You are not funding my retirement. I planned for retirement assuming Social Security would go bankrupt. I cannot change you mind but would suggest you do the same.
I get a SS check 1/3 the size of what I’d get, had I been allowed to invest the money which I was forced to put into SS.
Im fully expecting my Roth to be raided to fund some nonsense relief package.
i am 74. my ssa is $1991 but my net income is $6100 a month. it would be hit but i planned for my retirement too and could take the hit and keep on ticking. i’m debt free with a bit over $300k in net worth. not rich by any stretch but i am confortable for my age bracket.
respects.
Good for you.
Troll.
Don’t start nuthin’
Won’t BE nuthin’
Good rule to live by personally, also works well here at Treehouse
I reckon
Paid into it since I was fifteen, plan to start taking it this year. Sorry you did not change my mind.
I started when i was 15 too…
I started when I was two years old.
Okay— just bein’ silly.
If you paid into it — you should collect.
It isn’t a gift.
I live in a state where I will only get a small portion when I retire because I will have another retirement. Yet, because I am old enough to collect it — I currently get my full benefit while I am still working— and earning a generous salary.!
Yet, as soon as I retire — earning a third of what I currently make—my social security will be reduced by 2/3.
Where is the logic in that?
Rhetorical question, right?
Our government has tons and tons of money. They just choose to squander it in unending wars, graft, corruption, foreign “aid”, bribes, payoffs, grants, and all other ways of skimming our money.
They were supposed to keep SS money separate. But in the meantime, I WAS FORCED TO PAY INTO THE SYSTEM.
I did everything right. I had a 401k that was making a killing thanks to PDJT. Biden ruined that dream by destroying our economy. How am I supposed to plan for the future when our politicians are hell-bent on destroying our way of life?? Where is the stability in that??
I lived within my means, minimal debt, paid my car off quickly, paid my mortgage off in a few years, scrimped and saved, no travel, no best of everything, modest lifestyle, and more.
It takes 3 workers to support one retiree. We had ten children. All are high-end tax earners.
Former President Trump posted to his Truth Social an article citing my reporting on what also appeared to be an Antifa infiltrator masquerading as a Trump supporter alongside the faux ‘Shaman’ who performed for the entire media frenzy outside the Manhattan courthouse yesterday.

Damn here we go again….The stormy mess fell apart and now they are going to try Trump for Mar a Lago raid.
Crazy that Biden had classified documents when a VP which a BIG no no. Then to top it off Hunter who has never had a political office, had many classified documents too.

I like Nutshells because they are examples of what many/most Average People do get without paying prime attention to things as they unfold. It is how they amaze us by getting things right when necessary…
Trudeau saying how he admires CCP dictatorship because of how they can Go Green quickest faster.
As Tucker Carlson noted tonight —– it’s a load of BS.
China is “Going Green” —-??? Fastest….??? That’s why we need a dictatorship that can recreate our civilization to Save Mother Earth…..???
A majority of the compilations I’ve done since getting back on Social Media has had as a focus what Mr. Carlson talked about tonight…
1992 in Rio was to announce to the Elites openly what they were going to do to Save Communism + the march to Global Governance.

From MOTUS A.D.
“In an old abandoned ruin of a hotel, there once lived a flock of birds who had forgotten how to fly.They hopped here and there, eking out a living.
One day out of a broken skylight in the hotel in swooped a huge eagle.
He saw these birds hopping about and said, ” Hey, you are birds. You are supposed to fly. Come, I will teach you”.
And so he taught the birds to fly again.The birds soon soared and swiveled in the atrium of the hotel shrieking with joy.
They were so happy. They had found their true nature.
And so it went for many seasons.
Until one day, the eagle lay his massive body down and died.
The birds were all very sad. They spoke amongst themselves:
What a great eagle he was!
How much he taught us!
How beautiful he was!
How wise he was!
We must never forget him or his words of wisdom.
And so the birds set about writing down all that the eagle had said in a big golden book so they would never forget his wisdom.
And they built a beautiful statue of him so they never forget how magnificent he was.
And they built a temple around the statue so that it would be there forever.
Everyday, they brought flowers to the temple.
They placed fruit at the foot of the statue.
They recited his every word.
Every morning and evening.
They were pleased with their efforts.
And slowly but very surely
They forgot how to fly.”
“Remember, they’re not coming after me, they’re coming after you.”

I saw on TV that a White small business man saw that there was a Community who were helping small business owners. He applied and was turned down because he wasn’t the right color. A White family rode on a Subway and the Black young man started mouthing off on them for no reason. The poor family sat silently not knowing what to do. This is what is going on right now. I believe we will be seeing transportation and places for Blacks only. Joe Biden and Barrack Obama are behind this. May their EVIL Racist souls burn in Hell when they finally die. SEGREGATION is back.
divide and conquer
the ruling elite psychopaths want us fighting each other so we don’t come together and hunt them down
at some point i believe we will see blacks (mostly black women) demand and receive preferential treatment at hospitals.
It’s heartbreaking to see what these young children, of all races, are being taught.
oh dear; what have I stumbled upon???

Onion getting peeled a little bit in Arizona. About time.
“The Arizona Supreme Court declined to review the rest of the appeal.” Wot?
These are seriously evil people.
Dayum, these people are stupid. The problem’s been festering for years while they virtue-signaled/IGNORED their way thru it.
Finally, a neighbor’s been attacked and they’re afraid to collect their mail in broad daylight and *now* it’s suddenly a “problem”.

@KariLake
HUGE: AZ Supreme Court Rules In Favor of Kari Lake, Forces Lower Court to Look at Signature Verification Issues
The court rejected all of Lake’s lawsuit except for the signature verification objection. On that issue, the remand order states:
**
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED remanding to the trial court to determine whether the claim that Maricopa County failed to comply with A.R.S. § 16-550(A) fails to state a claim pursuant to Ariz. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) for reasons other than laches, or, whether Petitioner can prove her claim as alleged pursuant to A.R.S. § 16-672 and establish that “votes [were] affected ‘in sufficient numbers to alter the outcome of the election’” based on a “competent mathematical basis to Arizona Supreme Court Case No. CV-23-0046-PR Page 4 of 5 conclude that the outcome would plausibly have been different, not simply an untethered assertion of uncertainty.”
