Get to work
It’s beyond frustrating to watch House representatives get paid to do nothing while the government is shut down. These lawmakers are still collecting their paychecks, yet they’re neglecting the very work they were elected to do. Instead of playing partisan games, they should be focused on the urgent tasks at hand — like addressing health care reform, specifically replacing or improving Obamacare, and working on the FY26 budget. There’s no shortage of pressing issues, yet they’re wasting time while the country suffers. It’s a shame that taxpayers are footing the bill for this inaction.
It’s easy
Universal healthcare is as easy to install as sensible gun-control. Just look at the blueprints of every other developed nation in the world, even the autocrats, where it’s been working for decades.
Ridiculous
Speaker Johnson refuses to seat an elected official. How does that work? We, the people elect someone, and Congress won’t seat them?
No to AI
Seriously, someone suggested asking ChatGPT for the truth. Left me put this in layman’s terms, AI makes its decisions based on input from the original source. That source is left-leaning.
We’re all at risk
Given our location and I-10 there’s a real chance of being involved in a traffic accident with an 18-wheeler. Some states have given CDLs to illegals who don’t even speak or read English. Scary.
Paradise
Top Biblical experts have reached the conclusion that Adam and Eve were Soviet citizens. They had no clothes, one apple between the two of them, and they thought they were in paradise. Hopefully New Yorkers can see through the Marxist promises of mayoral candidate Mamdani, but I seriously doubt they have the capability to realize there is no free lunch. Historically other countries have fallen prey with disastrous results. The evidence is plain to see that Marxism, Socialism and Communism are failed ideologies that ultimately remain only at the point of a gun.
Make a deal, Democrats
It’s high time that Democrats stop stalling and accept the will of the people.
