The same government trying to spend 3.5 trillion for “infrastructure” and wasting all that money in Afghanistan and elsewhere wants thousands of dollars from me. I didn’t give enough and now they want about 10% of my base salary on top of what they already have. Why can’t I say no? Voting does nothing.

When she talks about American hatred, racism etc. she’s right on. I’m conservative and find myself agreeing with her.

It's just corruption!! Lying and corruption are the things he's best at doing. Harris does it too but I don't know that she's corrupt but she has done some unethical things for sure.. this administration is going to destroy their party in November 2022.…it's not because they're Democrats it's because they're socialist and their progressive Communists Marxists. I'm not sure which category I want to put Kamala in because I know that Nancy pelosi is a socialist where Maxine Waters and AOC are progressive Communists even though they like to call themselves Democratic socialists. (It doesn't sound as ugly as MARXIST).. I wish we had a rule in Congress that people had to be born on soil American citizens before they could even run for government!!!! People coming from other countries do not have the United States interest at heart..they bring their trash along with them and some people do come here to the United States and they want to make a better life for themselves.. immigrants do great things but the people who seem to want to change our country the most are these immigrants in Congress. Seriously!! Most of these people are women and they sound like they're absolutely insane and they're doing everything they can along with the socialists who's been in office for 20 or 40 years to turn black people away and against white people.. anybody that listens to Maxine Waters or Nancy pelosi and AOC etc etc is going to grow to hate white people more and more everyday. That's the way they work and communism is all about dividing and conquering That's why Ukraine is still together and it's because they haven't been divided except for a small region in Donbass.

Nobody cares about “how” we left Afghanistan. The main thing was to stop wasting time and money there. Any Americans “left behind” must have known it was time to leave months before.
