View MoreHISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD: Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older whippersnappers) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS. Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed. Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets. 1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary], 2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed], 3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible], 4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent], and 5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed]. Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following: Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it? A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate. Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding? A: The Democratic Party. Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities? A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US AND MY FAVORITE: Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants? A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it! Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it! If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though. Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so — but it’s worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?

View MoreAs freedom-of-speech advocates celebrate the long-awaited liberation of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, a pivotal archival revelation regarding his historic 2016 interview with Megyn Kelly has resurfaced, sending shockwaves through political circles. When pressed on why his whistleblowing platform had never published devastating leaks on Donald Trump to match the explosive releases that derailed Hillary Clinton’s campaign, Assange’s answer was absolute: WikiLeaks simply couldn’t publish what didn't exist. "There is no dirt to release on Donald Trump," Assange explained during the landmark exchange, pointing to a reality that Washington insiders have desperately tried to suppress. Unlike his career-politician counterparts who have spent decades navigating embedded networks of corruption, Trump entered the political arena as a complete outsider, unbeholden to the globalist elite or the entrenched "uni-party" establishment. Because he was never a product of the system, the typical avenues of systemic blackmail and backroom compromise simply do not apply to him. For millions of supporters, the admission solidifies Trump’s status as the ultimate existential threat to the Deep State. While corporate media outlets and political opponents have launched non-stop investigations, weaponized legal battles, and intelligence-community maneuvers to manufacture a narrative against him, the reality remains clear: they have absolutely nothing on him, while he holds all the cards to dismantle their operations. Now, with Julian Assange finally a free man after a grueling, years-long saga as a political prisoner, truth-seekers are reflecting on the immense sacrifice made to bring institutional transparency to light, proving that the establishment's grip on absolute control is officially fracturing. #JulianAssange #WikiLeaks #DonaldTrump #DeepStateCheckmate #MegynKellyInterview #PoliticalOutsider #AntiGlobalist #GovernmentTransparency #BreakingNews #ViralVibes #SummersNews See less
