On the FIRST day of the new GOP-controlled Congress
a 78-year-old chose their Speaker,
an 81-year-old GOP rep. fell down the stairs
a 91-year-old GOP sen. is now 3rd in line to the presidency
This after an election where ‘age’ was a ‘top concern’ for voters
Voters in North Dakota recently approved a ballot initiative that would place an upper age limit on candidates for Congress from that state. If it survives likely court challenges, the law would bar anyone 81 or older from serving in Congress from North Dakota. The motivation behind such a measure: to correct that major generational imbalance in Congress.
Members of the House must be at least 25 years old by the time they take office; senators must be 30. So if the average congressional ages cited earlier seem high, it’s partly thanks to some artificial inflation from age floors. U .S. Rep. Maxwell Frost, a Florida Democrat – the first Gen Z member of Congress laid out why his success was the exception and not the rule.
@Liz_Cheney
Donald, this is not the Soviet Union. You can’t change the truth and you cannot silence us. Remember all your lies about the voting machines, the election workers, your countless allegations of fraud that never happened? Many of your lawyers have been sanctioned, disciplined or disbarred, the courts ruled against you, and dozens of your own White House, administration, and campaign aides testified against you. Remember how you sent a mob to our Capitol and then watched the violence on television and refused for hours to instruct the mob to leave? Remember how your former Vice President prevented you from overturning our Republic? We remember. And now, as you take office again, the American people need to reject your latest malicious falsehoods and stand as the guardrails of our Constitutional Republic — to protect the America we love from you.
Liz Cheney is a Republican, and she helped cover up the true orchestrators of #January6th. Even now, she refuses to acknowledge a central, but plain and simple fact:
Fact: Trump is constitutionally disqualified from being sworn into office under the 14th Amendment.

- Every 60 years or so the Gold Supply doubles. Cost of doing business
- Every 7 years the USD money supply doubles. Much bigger cost of doing business.
- Bitcoin supply will never double. Max increase is 5 percent from here. Ever.
Operation Chokepoint 2.0 agenda
JUST IN: The FDIC sent out 25 letters telling banks to STOP developing Bitcoin banking products like:

– Trading and custody
– Bitcoin-backed loans
– Bitcoin ‘cash-back’ rewards
– Bitcoin-linked payment cards
“FDIC sent out 25 letters” during 2022/23. The #Fed is not happy with the new government policy that could free the US from the Fed. #Bitcoin does not need the banks fortunately. They sent these in 2022 and 2023 as part of operation choke point slowing down innovation by 2 years.
Today, @USTreasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned Integrity Technology Group, Inc., a Beijing-based cybersecurity company, for its role in multiple computer intrusion incidents against U.S. victims.

The IRS is targeting my retired parents who live on a fixed income because I pay their mortgage (that I am on title) and paid for their medical care. They say it’s income, I say they are full of .
Is this really what our government has become?
TurboTax is donating $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
Why is that interesting?
The IRS’ free, online tax filing tool is set to save taxpayers the average 13 hours and $250 it takes to file with tax prep giants.
TurboTax has spent millions lobbying Republicans to kill it.
@AnnTelnaes resigned after the Washington Post editorial page killed her cartoon. It’s worth a share.
Big Tech executives are bending the knee to Donald Trump and it’s no surprise why: Billionaires like Jeff Bezos like paying a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.
Final Election counts show majority of Americans didn’t vote for Trump.
Decoding Fox News @DecodingFoxNews
Fox News incorrectly said that a car a terrorist suspect used had just crossed the U.S. southern border. Fox then released a statement by Donald Trump where he incorrectly said crime is at a level “no one has ever seen before.” Slightly over an hour later Fox issued a retraction.
In 2024 I watched an analyzed 908 hours of Fox News. In that time the network included 424 elected officials. For clarification the 424 number is the amount of the appearances by elected officials. Most appeared more than once.
Republican – 96.5%
Democratic – 2.6%
Independent – 0.2%
No party – 0.7% (City council member – Aurora, CO)
Apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit accusing the company of using Siri to eavesdrop on people with iPhones and other devices. !!!! Then they hire oversea underpaid workers to listen in and that’s how the ads were delivered to you.

What people don’t understand is that the most profound similarity between Trump, Musk and Hitler is that all three sought to control the masses via disinformation—and did so for their own cruel purposes and self-enrichment. Disinformation is the root of all the evil that follows.
Note to Judge Merchan regarding Trump’s sentence: if it’s crime enough for Michael Cohen to go to prison – it’s crime enough for Trump to go to prison.
The public has a right to know who is behind efforts to influence elections. That’s why we’re calling on the FEC and IRS to investigate whether Americans 4 Security Inc. broke campaign finance law and must register as a political organization.
