We need to have an honest conversation about and consensus on what Social Security is. It is billed as a retirement savings type plan, which is a lie, and believing the lie impedes a real solution.

Current position of the Democratic Party is to SURRENDER to the IRGC in Iran, even as we've taken complete control of the oil flow situation.
Persian Gulf oil exports have surpassed prewar levels, as an improvised shipping system under U.S. protection is helping tankers move oil through one of Iran’s fiercest waves of attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. on.wsj.com/4dKoAkk

Yes the treachery continues because the treachery is never punished. Who is surprised? Not me.
It’s not every day you stumble across a recording in which U.S. citizens discuss plans to declare the federal government illegitimate.
Here’s one particularly alarming excerpt:
“If the federal government’s deemed to be illegitimate … then the governors become the leading governing authority under the current republic framework of our Constitution.”
And then there’s this one:
“I really want to emphasize this is not a concept for a secession. No one is talking about leaving the United States.”
Of course they’re not “talking about leaving the United States”; they’re talking about a planned transfer of governing authority outside the constitutional process—replacing the authority of the federal government with governors and outside networks.
I hope this turns out to be a deep fake or a bad practical joke—because if it’s real, it’s unbelievably frightening.
Either way, it’s a good reminder to vote carefully in November.

On this day in 1827, a combined French, British and Russian fleet defeats the Ottoman navy at Navarino. It's the last major sea battle in history fought entirely by sail-powered warships.

Today in 1805, the Royal Navy defeats a combined French-Spanish fleet off Cape Trafalgar. The triumph is decisive yet costly; during the fighting, Britain's best admiral, Horatio Nelson, is fatally wounded on the quarterdeck of his flagship, HMS Victory.

RIGHT NOW in 1805, British warships led by HMS Victory are in action against a combined French & Spanish fleet off Cape Trafalgar. The cannonade is so furious it can be heard 50 miles away on the steps of Cadiz cathedral.

I asked Grok if the NYT or WP have shown any pictures of the rioters in France holding Palestinian flags.
The answer is no.
Why are these papers hiding the truth? Why are they sanitizing the news to protect Islamists?
It’s not Islamophobic to show pictures. It’s the truth.

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.
Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.
Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

French journalist Paul Amar:
“They came prepared. They had the addresses of town halls. They had addresses of Jewish shop owners.
In a street in Marseille, all businesses owned by Jews were set on fire. Businesses run by Muslims weren’t”

Politicians say they can "improve" the economy.
They impose minimum wages, wealth taxes, more spending on the needy.
But their social engineering makes things worse.
Here Economist Don Boudreaux explains why "we prosper more, the more economically free we are.”

So the government forces people to fund Social Security and Medicare throughout their working lives, promises them benefits in retirement, and then forces the next generation to finance those promises.
And your conclusion is that the retirees are the villains?
You've identified a serious problem with government redistribution and intergenerational dependency, only to blame the people who participated in a system they were legally required to fund.
Perhaps question the system instead of encouraging generations to resent one another.

Update: 24 Hours later, NBC Nightly News covered it. CBS and ABC Nightly News still have not.
Nor has the NYT.
If you want to know why America is polarized, it’s the fault of the media.
Yesterday, the Free Beacon, a conservative outlet, caught Abdul Sayed in a lie when Abdul denied his family had a connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. The FB showed a tweet by his own sister saying their mother belonged to the MB.
The revelation that Abdul lied about his family ties to a radical Islamic terrorist group was ignored by NBC, ABC, CBS’s nightly news shows. The NYT and WP haven’t covered it.
This should be a screaming front page story. Instead, the MSM runs cover for Abdul.
The American people just want to know the truth about their politicians. Instead, the media are helping Abdul cover up the truth.
Abdul has a lot to hide. It’s a tragedy the MSM is part of the team helping him hide it.
