1ºRobert C. Dillon I’m not a democrat or republican. Yet almost daily I read that politicians invest and magically that investment gains Profit. I just read yesterday about pelosi’s husband.
The husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just bought as much $5 million worth of stock in software and computer-chip company Nvidia, publicly available financial disclosures show.
According to the disclosures, Paul Pelosi purchased between $1 million and $5 million worth of Nvidia stock NVDA on June 17.
The stock purchase comes as the Senate is expected to meet this week to discuss a bipartisan bill to boost semiconductor manufacturing in the country. The bill aims to provide grants, tax credits and other incentives for companies to manufacture semiconductors in the United States.
You think that’s a coincidence or just luck. Everything the guys buys or sells a few days later he profits either way. There’s no investor who gets lucky every time. That’s why politicians label the investments as their spouses and not theirs so it’s not consider illegal.
2ºYes CONGRESS MEMBERS! Arrested in larger numbers for civil disobedience – NOW this must continue and grow in numbers everyday (how MLK worked it – large numbers) – we need dr’s, nurses, all who will challenge this court that they cannot threaten us over an UNJUST law. we are ordered now by religious tyranny – an unjust law! I have warned of this with others for 45 yrs it was coming - out of the old jerry falwell's christian coalition. in ‘72 churches were for abortion. I think because of the massive sexual abuses they were not until a few weeks ago required to produce their internal records, now doctored no doubt - in 79 and 80 the gop plan with religious right became a long path for them, where the church would undo Roe for VOTES consistently for repubs for as long as it takes....
today 34 members of congress were just arrested in front of supreme court - nonviolent, well planned action - I think the charge was the crowd became so big they were blocking traffic - these work this way: police are contacted about our legal right to perform civil disobedience, then police gives an order to stop/leave BUT after that, if crowd continues they are arrested...for disobeying a clear police order to dispurse. i've been involved in many of these around the country for gay equality over past 20 yrs -
have you been arrested in civil disobedience? It is a real arrest, usually a traffic charge or misdemeanor for civil action and violating a police order....police if you tell them what you are doing, will work with the arrested crowd - - one judge i stood before judge with 12 others as so many arrests happened that day, 12 at a time made it all go faster...but this judge told our group "all day I have been listening to your stories and why you are here in cleveland" - and he leaned into us and said "all I can say is keep up the good work, this is how change gets done." we usually had a day in jail - overnight in Orlando - and got released with a fine, we had donated if we couldn’t afford it - which was way before asking go fund me on fb hahaha
We need leader in our groups, orgs, communities – jump in – it will change your life – and change will come, it matters not if it does while you are still alive – only that one day change will come. Plese call or write these brave congressional members – when you are arrested you give u all your rights for a time…and there are no guarantees if some lose jobs or not – but this is the way. also as long as you do your time and pay your fines/fees YOU CAN STILL VOTE!
Pick a place around you – meet and plan – see who is open. Can you imagine if 2 hospitals and/or urgent cares facilities a state with 10-20 or more employees did this work? 2 or more a day for weeks? This is the COURAGE we will need – the kind of courage that is meant when you hear people talk about courage…and please write/call these representatives to thank them – for showing us what is needed and at personal risk

3ºInflation was 1.4% when Biden was installed into office in December it was over 7% BEFORE Russia invaded Ukraine and now it's over 9%..Their Trump derangement syndrome will continue even when gas gets to $10 a gallon. They' still believe it's Russia and say... well Europe and the whole world have high gas prices well you know what we live in America and Europe has always had high gas prices as a matter of fact the Democrats want our prices to be high like Europe to push us into their green new agenda. There's a video floating around of Obama at some type of economic forum stating that very thing that he wanted the United States to have higher gas prices to force everyone into green energy those words came out of his mouth and it's the agenda of this failing Administration. They can't hide it from the people anymore
4ºJerry Estopinal Jerry, please explain to me why my right to marry the person of my choice isn't a personal choice but subject to the whims of a given state? It's been law for 7 years now, and I'm not seeing too many stats that indicate any person has been harmed by this measure. If the rest of my life is in a Red state, is it really acceptable to you that I must move if I want the same rights others have on the basis of gender? I do understand others have religious objections, but church and state covers that one. In their church, ok, I'm not married and not allowed to be but they shouldn't get to decide that for me in hospitals, and other public institutions.
5ºMike Marchant The founding fathers actually disagreed. They wanted separation of church and state. They used principles which can be found in multiple religions. Not to mention someday you’re gonna have to take the time to do your research about where those scriptures came from. Remember Nehemiah? Pretty much had to start over with all the Hebrew texts because they were all burned and lost at that point. So they borrowed from a whole lot of other cultures to retell the stories. It’s a 2000 year old game of telephone. This is why the gnostic gospels are also interesting to read because they were thrown out later by Constantine. But there’s great stuff in there too. And the reality is, CHRISTianity Should look a little more closely to how their Jesus actually lived and spoke. He never said anything about homosexuality.
6ºTammy Ingison I don’t complain. I’m telling you all not to complain. Because you’re the ones that keep voting the same way! If it doesn’t work, why keep doing it?
It’s like you people want to be punished by your own dumb choices.
Think about it:
What if you voted for the right candidate rather than red or blue down the line? I bet you couldn’t bring yourself to do it. Why? Because the party you support has brainwashed you into thinking only THEY can fix your problems - only THEY can save you. It’s like this for both team red and team blue. Which really, makes you people the same. You just wave a different color flag. Because in the end, the outcome is the same.

billionaire and millionaire tax payers won’t be forced to pay more taxes. Republicans made their 2017 $2 TRILLION DOLLAR TAX CUT PERMANENT. The Republicans made the Peasants part of that tax cut expire this year and gradually increases back up to the pre 2017 rate by 2025.
Gas prices were more in 2008 during the Republican’s Great Recession than they are now.
Republicans want to privatize medicare.
In 1981 inflation was 12.6%. Ronald Reagan raised interest rates to 21% to bring down inflation.
Inflation is currently happening world wide due to supply chain disruptions because of COVID and U.S. oil companies hedging their bets on oil being cheaper on the foreign market than producing it in the U.S. when the pandemic started wane, until Putin invaded Ukraine.
People who just holler it’s the dems fault without having a clue what’s really going on should be sick of their brainwashing.
8ºKarrie M Campbell It was not founded on biblical foundations- in fact the majority of the Founding Fathers believed separation of church and state was necessary for a government to flourish. Our laws are made on moral basis- yes those sometimes overlap with religious ideas- but christians seem to be unable to differentiate between them. The Declaration of Independence was written to appeal to all faiths and those of no faith, the Constitution does not mention your god or religion- with the exception of religious freedom. God was not on our money nor in our pledge until the 1950’s- so no this country was not founded on your religion nor for your god.
9ºKathryn Elizabeth Huntress cool story and nice revisionism you attempted there. Early marriage was borne of ancient societies' need to secure a safe environment in which to breed, handle the granting of property rights, and protect bloodlines. Ancient Hebrew law required a man to become the husband of a deceased brother's widow.
But even in these early times, marriage was much about love and desire as it was social and economic stability. In its roundness, the engagement ring, a custom dating back to the Ancient Rome, is believed to represent eternity and everlasting union. It was once believed a vein or nerve ran directly from the 'ring' finger of the left hand to the heart.
Many other modern day marriage traditions have their origins in these ancient times. Newly-weds are said to have aided fertility by drinking a brew made from honey during certain lunar phases and it is this tradition from which we derive the origins of the word 'honeymoon'.
10ºTom Christopher and if you want to get technical, since Clinton, Dems have had almost 20 years to fix all the messes they cry about. Reps had 12. Let that sink in.
Because the end result is - NONE OF THEM DO ANYTHING. And you all continue to vote for them like little sheepy sheep…oooo my red team will fix it - ooo my blue team will fix it….they break everything. And you keep voting for them.
And the sad part is, you won’t detach from your silly tribal ways. It’s blue no matter who. Red until you’re dead.
But really, those guys are complicit and bank on your stupidity to do their bidding.
