I’ve been in the public eye most of my life and there isn’t any dirt you can find on me that hasn’t already been aired. Seems like the only thing people don’t know is my voter registration, so here go: I registered Republican in 2020 and never changed it. And I wasn’t going to change it now just to check a different box. This is a non-partisan race - there will be no D or R next to my name. As Mayor, I will not serve either party. I will work with anyone who wants to help the City. No labels necessary.

FDR with the greatest speech edit ever. Original text read: December 7, 1941: A date which will live in world history. FDR crossed out "world history" and replaced it with "infamy." And thus the "infamy speech" was born.

We're not at war We're not in a depression We're not in a recession Unemployment is low Stock market is high There's no reason for Congress to pass budgets that continue to add trillions to the national debt. If this is the best Congress can do when times are good, what will the budget look like when the inevitable bad times occur?

It's been incredulous to learn how Social Security funds have been sent to dead and non-existent people across the globe. But, sometimes, our bureaucrats are up to the challenge of protecting our funds. I came across a heartening tale when reading the story of George Koval, a Soviet atomic spy. George was born in the U.S., then moved with his family to the Soviet Union as a youth, where he was recruited for spy work. Sent back to the U.S., he joined the U.S. Army and was assigned to duties as part of the Manhattan Project. He had access to top secret info, which he passed along to his Soviet handler. George got away clean, as his spy activities weren't discovered until several years after he returned to the Soviet Union. He lived out his days as a chemistry teacher and was off U.S. radar until he appeared at the U.S. embassy in Moscow in 2000. Apparently a victim of the poor Soviet economy, he wanted to know if his work history in the U.S. qualified him for a pension. This is the inspirational part: It took the Social Security Administration all of one day to send him a one-sentence letter: "No, you don't qualify." See? It proves our bureaucrats can, in fact, determine that stealing atomic bomb secrets is sufficient to disqualify someone from receiving Social Security payments.

Just going to keep posting this article of mine until people realize what a massive problem of stolen SSNs that illegal immigration has created. realclearinvestigations.com/…
Elon: Look at these SSNs from dead people. They’re probably being used to fraudulently collect benefits. Experts: Actually, no. We just let illegal immigrants use them to commit identity theft so they can pay taxes. Public opinion: Wait what.

Even having citizens vote against unchecked illegal immigration is no guarantee of success. One of the few times Americans got to vote on the immigration issue directly was when California in 1994 passed Prop 187, which would have denied benefits to illegal immigrants. It passed 59% to 41%. It was struck down by the courts and never implemented.

There will be dozens of books written about the Kamala campaign, at least one of which will be made into a movie. Who should be cast as Kamala and Tim Walz in the movie version of this spectacular implosion?
