We truly stand on the shoulders of giants and there are none bigger than @RonPaul. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and humbled in the shadow of Dr. Paul. Without him, this movement would not exist. The work Dr. Paul and @DanielLMcAdams have done, and continue to do, remains a North Star for the liberty movement. I am honored beyond words to recieve his endorsement, so I’ll borrow a few of his: LET IT NEVER BE SAID THAT WE DID NOTHING!

If you start a war that should probably disqualify you from the peace prize
President Trump is pushing back after being passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize, saying leaders from countries where he helped resolve conflicts personally appealed to the committee on his behalf. "So I settled eight wars with letters being sent from every president and prime minister," Trump says. And he claims two more could be next, pointing to war in Iran and Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Who’s ready for some real talk on Social Security? Here it is: you didn’t “pay in” to Social Security, there’s no deposit account with “your” money in it, and every single dime of Social Security taxes you’ve paid in your entire life went directly to someone else or was frittered away by Congress. For many decades after the program was created, there was more money collected in Social Security taxes paid in than money spent on benefits. This was due to the demographics of the country at the time: in 1950 there were 16 workers paying Social Security taxes for every 1 recipient of benefits, whereas today there are fewer than 3 workers per beneficiary. So obviously, all that extra money collected for decades when there were more taxes collected than benefits paid was set aside and invested, right? LOL. If only. Instead of setting all that extra money aside and protecting it for future beneficiaries, Congress spent it. Every last penny. Every dollar that has been collected in Social Security taxes has been spent. What Congress did instead of saving money was create a massive IOU which it dishonestly called the Social Security Trust Fund. Except there’s no trust and there’s no fund. It’s just a gigantic IOU, like in Dumb and Dumber. There’s no numbered account with money in it waiting to be withdrawn. Where does this leave us? Beginning around 2020, payroll taxes collected were no longer sufficient to pay for current Social Security benefits, so money had to printed or borrowed from elsewhere. As more and more money has to be borrowed to pay current benefits, the Social Security Trust Fund balance is reduced. Once it reaches zero—and right now that is expected to happen within the next 10 years—the government is legally prohibited from paying out more in benefits than it collects in Social Security payroll taxes each year. And that will mean an instant cut in Social Security benefits of around 20 percent. By the year 2100, expected benefits will be just 65 percent of promised benefits. As of today, a 75-year-old who worked for 50 years and earned the median salary will have paid close to $100,000 in Social Security payroll taxes over his life. Based on average life expectancy of another 12 years, he will collected more than $500,000 in Social Security benefits, and those payments will come not from a savings account somewhere, but from taxes paid by his children and grandchildren. But when it comes time for the people paying directly for his Social Security checks to receive their benefits, they won’t get nearly as much as he gets, because the Trust Fund will be bankrupt. The people paying for the Social Security benefits of Baby Boomers today will pay significantly more into the system than the Boomers ever did, but will receive a fraction of the eventual payout. Does that seem fair? In light of those facts, is it really accurate to say you “earned” that Social Security payment? Of course it isn’t. Social Security is welfare for American retirees. And it’s a welfare system that is not only a total waste of money designed to give Congress an even bigger budget to fritter away (if you invested your Social Security taxes, your lump sum at retirement would be 5x higher than your expected lifetime benefits from Social Security), it’s also deeply immoral. Because of the current demographics in the country, Social Security takes money from workers today so it can give retirees 3-5x more than they ever paid in AND will pay out significantly less when it’s time for the people currently paying into the system to collect their own benefits. Boomers receive 3-5x more than they paid in, while their grandchildren will receive 35 percent less than what they were promised. They originally called this the New Deal when it was created, but it’s a raw deal for everyone currently being forced to pay into it. So let’s stop with the pretense that Social Security is anything other than a poorly designed welfare scheme for retirees.

The Final KO of 5D Chess This is the most devastating supercut for 5D chess plan trusters, loyalists and Donnie flatulence inhalers. There is simply no coming back from this. It's over. The white hats, the super secret operation, the "retribution." It's done. While the remaining loyalists pretend that we "left" the coalition, you got it all wrong. It left us. Not only did it leave us, but I have absolutely zero respect for people still on board and trying to shame the rest of us for being honest, having integrity and facing our audience knowing we've been helping to push this agenda for the last decade. It's time to be honest and understand that nothing will ever change unless people hold their own accountable. You sick of the same old song and dance? Well then you need to stop cheering for it. To the people who still clap like seals but want to shame and other everyone else who finally acknowledged this reality, I have the least amount of respect for you.

MAGA be like... "I'd rather take Trump distributing $5,000 of free money to everyone equally than have socialism." And it never clicks. The light bulb never goes off. Just complete confidence in saying stupid shit. As they call us "retarded" It really is amazing.

I care that we are at war with Iran. Many do. In the last 25 years of empire, we added $35T in debt, depreciated the dollar 47%, increased inflation 87%, and lost every war. Now we are facing Iran, who is an entirely different beast. So why was it the right thing? Are we better off now as a country? Economically? Defensively? How’s affordability? Will my children be able to own homes? Are we more united as a country? These are the things that matter to midterm voters. These are the kitchen table issues. So explain it to me. Why was it right?

Promised DOGE → Got $40T debt. Promised liberty → Got Palantir and Flock surveillance. Promised "no new wars" → Got another Middle Eastern war Promised $2 gas → got $5 gas and $7 diesel Promised MAHA → gave toxic pesticides legal immunity. Promised to release the Epstein client list → Kept it buried. Promised to drain the swamp → Building it a ballroom instead. Everything Trump promised was a lie.

Your real Social Security tax is over 12%. Your employer pays half of it, so you only see 6%. Counting federal and state income tax, the real SSI rate, and sales and property tax... You probably "net" 30% of what you earn. We keep less us our labor than medieval peasants.

Why is everyone so nervous about the midterms? “New MAGA” has got this. I’m not worried at all. They will deliver a massive midterm victory and will shut up all of the “panicans” and “doomers.” So hyped to see them win bigly!

I know I'm a weirdo and care too much about economics but the whole "vote for us so we can prevent socialism" followed by "we will give you each $5,000 to vote for us" makes me insanely angry. Just the most fraudulent bastardized version of conservatism that has ever existed. Burn it with fire.
