TIM ALLEN - ON TRUMP: Whatever your feelings for Trump, these are some interesting points that Tim Allen makes. Put your hatred aside and think about these observations. 👇 Tim Allen wrote: Here are some interesting points to think about prior to 2020, especially to my friends on the fence, like moderate Democrats, Libertarians and Independents and the 'Never Trump' Republicans and those thinking of "walking away" from the Democratic party: - Women are upset at Trump's naughty words, they also bought 80 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray. - Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders. It seems women's rights only matter if those women are liberal. - No Border Walls. No voter ID laws. Did you figure it out yet? - Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 per year. Her mom flies around the country speaking out about 'white privilege'. And just like that, they went from being against foreign interference in our elections to allowing non-citizens to vote in our elections. - President Trump's wall costs less than the Obamacare website. Let that sink in, America! - We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun confiscation, and full-term abortion nationally. We are fighting evil. - They sent more troops and armament to arrest Roger Stone than they sent to defend Benghazi. - 60 years ago, Venezuela was 4th on the world economic freedom index. Today, they are 179th and their citizens are dying of starvation. In only 10 years, Venezuela was destroyed by democratic socialism. - Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign. Russia donated $145,600,000 to the Clinton Foundation. But Trump was the one investigated! - Nancy Pelosi invited illegal aliens to the State of the Union. President Trump Invited victims of illegal aliens to the State of the Union. Let that sink in. - A socialist is basically a communist who doesn't have the power to take everything from their citizens at gunpoint. Yet! - How do you walk 3000 miles across Mexico without food or support and show up at our border 100 pounds overweight and with a cellphone? - Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants to ban cars, ban planes, give out universal income and thinks socialism works. She calls Donald Trump crazy. - Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones To get her to go away. I don't remember the FBI raiding his lawyer's office. - I wake up every day and I am grateful that Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States of America. The same media that told me Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning, now tells me Trump's approval ratings are low. - "The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money." — Margaret Thatcher. - Maxine Waters opposes voter ID laws; She thinks that they are racist. You need to have a photo ID to attend her town hall meetings. - President Trump said — "They're not after me. They're after you. I'm just in their way." Now, go back & read this again like your future depends upon it, because it does! And all of the above is still true today!

This post falsely attributes a list of political claims to comedian Tim Allen. The text is a misattributed compilation of older memes from other sources; his publicist has repeatedly denied he wrote it. snopes.com/fact-check/tim… factcheck.afp.com/no-comedian-ti… usatoday.com/story/news/fac…

Gas hits $9.00/gallon in California. In Indiana it's $3.71. Same gasoline. Same trucks driving it there. Same President. Different governors. Vote for Steve Hilton.

Commissioners recently voted to raise most county elected officials' salaries to $305,000, then approved the highest county property tax rate in decades at a time when polls show affordability is a key concern for voters. bit.ly/4hv9txo

Let me translate: “my plan is to put more violent criminals back on the streets more quickly and use ‘mental health’ and ‘root causes’ as the excuse to expose more Houstonians to harm whilst aggressively abandoning victims.”
The Harris County Jail system is costing us $50M a year while 80% of our jail population struggles with mental health. As your next Harris County Judge, I will fund diversion programs, the Harris Center, and Justice to Workforce pathways that give people a real second chance

Only Democrats would open the border, put illegals up in hotels, send billions to Ukraine, and then blame Trump for your grocery bill.

The average homeowner’s Harris County tax bill has risen significantly since Democrats won a majority on Commissioners Court in 2019, and has outpaced near-record levels of inflation over the past seven years, according to a Houston Chronicle analysis of county budget data. bit.ly/4xZW4ST

On this day in 1835, Mexico demanded the surrender of a cannon. Texans said, “Come and Take It.” Things escalated quickly. Happy Battle of Gonzales Day, Texas. 🤠💥

Obama forced all Americans to get health insurance or you paid a fine. Biden made everyone take an experimental shot or you lost your job. Tell me again that Trump is a fascist dictator.

The fact that Abdul El-Seyed’s sister was caught on camera, admitting that Abdul is lying about his positions to fool voters, is simply not getting enough attention.

AOC's Presidential run may over in 24 hours after this. Please share so everyone sees the waitress and the Islamist communist mayor of New York City laughing together at the 9/11 memorial. The mainstream media will never run this.

A heated exchange about the U.S.-Iran conflict this morning between CNBC hosts @joesquawk @andrewrsorkin. When Sorkin seemed initially to put the U.S. and Iran in the same financial “dire straits,” Kernen put a fast stop to that. $97 oil is a problem, but Iran’s currency is collapsing and 1,000% inflation is catastrophic. Comparing financial headwinds for the U.S. and Iran is “ridiculous.” Sorkin also contended the Trump administration had “lied repeatedly” and accused Kernan of accepting it all. Kernen would have none of it: “I have hoped that it ends, and I have hope for a favorable outcome. I haven't, and I'm pointing at you taking glee in every setback for the Trump administration in prosecuting war.” 
Worth the 2 minute watch.
