Ronald Reagan was one of the most popular presidents in modern history. As a former Hollywood actor, he had an uncommon degree of charisma.

The conservatives absolutely loved Reagan for his efforts to reduce the size of government, but most liberals hated him with a passion. Reagan is still revered by a lot of Americans. This reverence for Ronald Reagan helps to explain how he was able to fool most of the American people to a degree unparalleled by any other modern president.

With the help of Alan Greenspan, Reagan pulled off one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated against the American people.

On April 20, 1983, the signing ceremony for the new legislation took place with great fanfare. Below are some of Reagan’s remarks at the signing ceremony.

In addition to the long-term problem of the baby boomers, the Commission found a possible short-term problem for the years 1983-89. But the outlook improved and became favorable for the 1900s and early 2000s. The possible minor problem for the years 1983-1989 was based on very pessimistic economic assumptions. So, at the time Reagan informed Congressional leaders that Social Security was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, the actual condition of Social Security funding was fairly sound for the next two decades.

Furthermore, Social Security was certainly not Reagan’s “highest priority.” Reagan had never been a friend of Social Security. He was a hardliner when it came to all government social programs. He called unemployment insurance “a prepaid vacation plan for freeloaders.”

I think it's true. Up to 30% of men who get paternity tests are not the father of their children. Some of which have been raising these children for years.

Would you:

Vote for a cheating politician?

Allow your kids teacher to be a cheater?

Judge your boss if they are unfaithful?

[The Presidential Medal of Freedom] “It's much better” [than the Congressional Medal of Honor] “Because everyone who gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets or they’re dead. She gets it [The Presidential Medal of Freedom] and she’s a healthy beautiful woman.”

Speaking of GOP donor Mirian Adelson who he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

A first grade student was punished for drawing "any life" on her art activity.

She was excluded from recess for two weeks among other punishments. Her family is fighting the matter in court.

This is what happens when people embrace leftist, socialist ideologies. How does this even happen in the United States?

Leftists will continue to censor and attack those who oppose their ideologies. This is an attack on freedom of speech and our fundamental rights. Many have lost jobs and their livelihoods because they have said something that is perceived as "offensive", even if the intent is innocuous.

Think twice at the ballot box. A vote for Kameltoe Harris is a vote for radical socialism and censorship.

Refugees from communist and socialist regimes have warned we are on a dangerous path:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and other agencies quietly resumed coordinating with the major social media companies earlier this year to fight what government officials warned was a coming onslaught of foreign disinformation and influence operations leading up to the presidential election in November. In at least two instances in recent weeks, the companies have taken action to remove malign content, according to the Biden administration and company officials.

Contacts between F. B. I. investigators and the companies — including Facebook, X and YouTube — ground to a halt last year as a legal challenge that accused the Biden administration of censorship wound its way to the U. S. Supreme Court.

When President Biden came to office, however, the Republican attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana went to court, saying such coordination was part of a sweeping government conspiracy to stifle critical conservative voices online.

After a lower court judge ruled in July 2023 that the accusations at the heart of the case reflected “the most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history,” the Biden administration suspended virtually all contact with the social media platforms as the appeals process unfolded.

In February, the Department of Justice rewrote its standard operating procedures to clarify when its officials could communicate with social media companies, even before the Supreme Court’s decision, according to the department’s official response to an inspector general report. It posted an outline of the guidelines without fanfare on the F. B. I.’s website on Aug. 1.

The new procedures emphasize that the bureau’s agents cannot exert any pressure on the platforms, leaving it to the companies to decide what to do with information about malign foreign influence operations online. The goal was to deflect the core accusation of the legal challenge: that the government had effectively coerced the platforms to act with threats of retaliation.

they seem very popular online.

Lauren Boebert blasts Kamala Harris for being poorly educated

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert tried to own Vice President Kamala Harris on Twitter yesterday, and the internet was having none of it.

Whatever your views on VP Harris, few can deny her academic background or experience. She graduated from Howard University and the Hastings College of Law at the University of California. She was the District Attorney of San Francisco, and the Attorney General of California, before becoming Senator for California, and then Vice President under Joe Bide

Boebert dropped out of High School, eventually gaining a GED diploma in 2020, a few months before she first took office

The public interest is a tedious thing. Sparing a thought for others is of no immediately obvious benefit. Private interests are easier to understand and pursue.
In a speech on Friday in North Carolina, Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to take on the issue of price gouging by large corporations. Researchers for U. K. think tanks Institute for Public Policy Research and Common Wealth found in late 2023 that profiteering, or “greedflation,” “significantly” boosted prices, leading to increases of 30% or more in corporate profits. “Excessive profits were even larger in the US, where many important sections of the economy are dominated by a few powerful companies,” wrote Phillip Inman of The Guardian.
The July report for consumer prices from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which came out yesterday, showed that prices rose less than 3% in the previous twelve months. Core inflation has fallen to its lowest rate since April 2021. For well over a year, wages have grown faster than inflation.
Responding to today’s news that inflation is coming down, the stock market ticked up in expectation that the Fed will now be more likely to cut interest rates in September. Applications for small businesses continue to boom across the country, with 19 million new business applications since Vice President Harris and President Biden took office, an annual growth rate 90% higher than prepandemic averages. Congressional Republicans are trying to cut the Small Business Administration and to cut taxes for big corporations.
Politico greeted today’s economic news with a headline saying, “Inflation is easing. Now, Harris has an even bigger problem with the economy.” And the New York Times reported that in a speech in North Carolina, “Harris Is Set to Lay Out an Economic Message Light on Details,” adding that she is expected to tweak Biden administration themes “in a bid to turn the Democratic economic agenda into an asset." Seems out of step with reality.
