What did NYT say about Joe Biden. They lied and covered for his mental decline for 4 straight years Expect me to believe this sugar coating? Hell no.
The media was complicit in foisting an illegal president and lying about his health.
Nothing the media tells me is the truth until I verify. Actually the truth is the exact opposite of what the democrats say .

Robinson has been demonized by the media, he could be borderline toxic to Farage.
Americans refused to buy Trump is fascist, racist, Hitler -esque , anti immigration,homophobic, transphobic, convict, adjudicated rapist, and every other smear they could pile on him.
Britain will also come around one day , hopefully soon. UK Prime Minister did not wholeheartedly investigate the grooming gangs while he was head of the Crown Prosecution Service.
Personally I see not a single crime that Robinson committed apart from contradicting the liberal talking points.

Won’t be long before Trump tried to take credit for this.
He will take it further and get more votes. The retirees will have more to spend, some have DEI graduates posing as keyboard warriors and living in their basements.

Trump promised to eliminate the federal income tax on Social Security benefits as part of his campaign promise. In the current system, retirees with a combined income of $25,000 or $32,000 may be subject to a 50% tax on their benefits. Individuals with incomes over $34,000 or couples with incomes over $44,000 may be subject to taxes on up to 85% of their benefits.
By eliminating taxes on Social Security, older Americans would be able to pay for expenses more efficiently and spend less on senior programs,


P/S. I know so little about these matters.

Sometimes I delve into matters religion here
Hizb ut-Tahrir, a controversial group advocating for the establishment of a global Islamic caliphate, is set to host its annual conference in Mississauga, Ontario, on January 18. The theme of this year’s event is “The Khilafah (Caliphate): Eliminating the obstacles that are delaying its return.”



This article is all over the internet.
What are they calling for? A global caliphate.
In a caliphate the law of the land is Sharia. Thousands of devout Muslims from almost every corner of the world flocked to ISIS territories to fight the infidels and establish the Caliphate.
ISIS was fighting for a global caliphate, they took up arms and conquered Britain size territory. They divided the world into wilayats or provinces. Spain was Andalusia , wilayat Sinai Sham, Levant the middle east Afghanistan was Khorosan , Wilāyat Garb Ifrīqīyā ( west Africa) each ruled by an Emir under the Caliph.

This group is also fighting for a global caliphate but stealthily,using the laws of the land and free speech.
They are no different from ISIS.
Why am I posting this? Because Obama enabled ISIS and fired Michael Flynn for pointing out that he was arming Al Qaeda and ISIS sympathisers in the Syrian conflict. All the while calling these jihadists moderates but are nothing but genocidal psychopaths. Biden as his VP was also an enabler of ISIS.
ISIS provinces as they desired .

If you think Biden is for poor Americans , y'all wrong The Nazi supporting villain who has destroyed national currencies including breaking the Bank of England . He helped send Jews to the death camps ( he was only 14, but has no regrets saying someone else would've done it if he wasn't there).
George Soros.

During the Biden administration, Soros' name has most often been heard in conjunction with funding dozens of radically pro-criminal district attorneys across America, many of them household names due to the spectacular explosion in violent crime they have enabled: "Soros DA Larry Krasner" (Philadelphia), "Soros DA Kim Foxx" (Chicago), "Soros DA Chesa Boudin" (San Francisco) and scores of others, from George Gascon (Los Angeles) to Marilyn Mosby (Baltimore) to Kim Gardner (St. Louis), 75 in all – each elected because of massive infusions of Soros cash into their campaigns. In turn, the "Soros DAs" have transformed America's most beautiful, dynamic and storied cities into degraded, crime-infested hellscapes of skyrocketing murder, rape, robbery, rioting, arson, drug abuse, wild mass-shoplifting episodes and other mayhem, leading not only to widespread property loss, suffering and death, but also to major exoduses by those with the means to relocate.
New York AG Letitia and Alvin Bragg are also Soros funded.
He funds efforts to legalize dangerous drugs, he supports euthanasia and assisted suicide, and he funds Black Lives Matter. He is for socialism and globalism and open borders and "defunding the police." He's for devaluing America's currency – once telling the Financial Times that "an orderly decline of the dollar is actually desirable" – even though that amounts to an outright theft of Americans' life savings and investments. He favors the destruction of American sovereignty in favor of "global governance." He doesn't like Israel and has supported her enemies. He detests fair elections and truthful news coverage, and indeed funds organizations that daily attack the only free press America currently has (including Soros-funded attacks on WND and this writer).


Joe Biden awarded this man the highest civilian medal.
Biden puppeteers are daring Trump.

Wasn't even aware of that.
Pretty Based.

Where has he excluded himself? Based on his proposed tax brackets he'd be paying a lot more in taxes than what he pays right now.

Don't squarm and change the goalpost.
Provide the evidence for "him calling/pushing for tax exemptions for millionaires and himself now?
Can you provide evidence if you think he aquired his wealth through malpractice?"
I've asked AI.
Wealth Tax: Sanders has consistently supported a wealth tax aimed at the ultra-rich, proposing a tax on fortunes over $32 million. This plan is designed to address income inequality and fund social programs.
Income Tax Rates: He advocates for increasing the marginal tax rates on high-income earners, suggesting rates as high as 70% for those earning over $10 million annually.
Corporate Tax Reform: Sanders has called for raising the corporate tax rate and closing loopholes that allow corporations to avoid paying taxes. He believes this would ensure that corporations contribute fairly to the economy.
Financial Transactions Tax: He has proposed a financial transactions tax on Wall Street trades, which he argues would generate significant revenue while discouraging speculative trading.
Filibuster Against Tax Deals: In 2010, Sanders gained national attention by filibustering a tax deal that he believed favored the wealthy, showcasing his commitment to fighting for a fairer tax system.
Tax Transparency: Sanders has emphasized the importance of tax transparency, urging politicians, including former President Trump, to release their tax returns to the public.



Look at the figure $32 million. It excludes him , he should be around $8 million today.
Total earnings over &10 million. It excludes him.


Better be warned when challenging me I don't say anything without some form of backup.
He sucks on the govt tits, earns $174K annually and has been pulling a lot more, him and his wife.

Communists came to power wailing over the bourgeoisie, only for them to concentrate all wealth in their hands. They get the poor masses to riot and overthrow the govts.
Once in power they confiscate all the wealth. They exterminate all their opponents. The ruling communist class is usually the wealthiest in any country.

Persians are rejecting renaming a Tehran street after Yahya Sinwar.
Tehran’s city council has dropped plans to rename Bisotun Street after former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, following widespread protests from citizens who emphasized the deep historical and cultural significance of the street’s name.

Mehdi Chamran, chairman of the Tehran City Council, confirmed on Sunday that the council is now looking for an alternative location to honor the assassinated Hamas leader, killed by Israel amid the war in Gaza in October, with a street name.

Now he wants ban all natural gas powered heaters by 2029.
Literally spending any used money for lofty projects
Two people involved in criminal actions of the J6 sham committee were given the presidential medal ,house committee has refered Cheney for criminal investigation.

Pardoning his son to deter investigation into Ukraine bribery and also first shampeachment

It's a precedent lowering the flag at the half flag to respect a dead president,with Jimmy Carter it concides with the inaugration so Biden admin is making it known ...while he can just shut up.

Commuting life sentences of violent criminals...not really a problem but he definitely knows Trump wants the criminals sent to their maker.

Awarded George Soros and Hillary Clinton the highest medals .Both of these should be in a jail yesterday.


Is Biden really making these decisions or some butthurt advisors are running ruining the country?

I expect Joe to issue blanket pardons to those who executed his lawfare against Trump.. Matt Graves, Garland, Bragg, J6 commission, Jackboot Smith,Cris Wray. It will be unprecedented and a clear obstruction of justice.

Trump should declare Biden mentally incompetent as found by the Special Prosecutor and annul every order he ever made on that basis. Let him fight to prove he was competent .
Trump should also declare Joe Biden was illegally rigged into power and all his decisions are null and void. He avoids numerous lawsuits.He should order the records to read as
President Trump the 45,46 and 47th duly elected president.

This guy founder World Central Kitchen was awarded a president medal freedom Photo is him with the would be assassin of Trump at his golf course.This is simply unacceptable.We know nothing about this shady Ryan Ruoth. A SS missed him 6 times from 5 feet away.

Millionaires and billionaires should pay their fair share of taxes, which is a correct stance.
You're reaching for a point that isn't there.
He called for a 100 % if you are worth $1 billion. You can afford to live on $999;million.

Or does your brain shut down when it hears it?

I'm pretty sure Bernie still believes in a progressive tax which includes taxing millionaires including himself.
This is not the gotcha you think it is.
You seriously expect me to dig up Bernie calling on millionaires to pay their fair share of taxes.
After 2016 primaries from.book deals and also hopefully not with the leftover campaign funds he obtained some 3 homes making him a millionaire.
Then he changed tune to billionaires should pay more tax.

The extreme interpretation of Islam is the wahhabi and salafists. They follow the Sunna of the prophet .
Most Muslims don't follow strictly , most don't know what Islam demands. They usually know when they come under sharia from salafists and wahhabi like Taliban HTS, or ISIS.
Overall majority are just convinced that Islam is the best religion and is their duty to spread islam., till everyone on earth is a Muslim. Been their goal for 1400 years.

BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson just announced that Congress's top priority is to secure the border and deport the illegals.

"In coordination with President Trump, this Congress will give our border and immigration enforcement agents the resources that they need to do their job."

Words sound beautiful, but actions are what We The People will judge you by.


The border wall will get funds allocated this time.
Paul Ryan the 2017 republican speaker refused to appropriate cash for the wall, he resigned with other RINOs 2018 handing Pelosi the gavel.He joined the board of Fox News Group.
An Obama judge blocked Trump from using excess DoD funds to build the wall.
There was no money for a wall then yet Biden protecting Ukraine border has sent Zelensky billions of dollars.
All along media and democrats were mocking Trump about his border wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.The media was happy to show the border wall torn apart by monsoon winds in Arizona and California.

Maybe men need to check their emotional state more often?
