For Brandon Gill to call himself Christian but shows such a lack of compassion for people in need appears to be a double standard. Christian teaching, rooted heavily in the Bible, emphasizes compassion and active help for the needy (the poor, widows, orphans, strangers, and oppressed) as a core expression of faith, love for God, and obedience to His commands. The Bible repeatedly portrays God as having a special concern for the vulnerable, calling believers to reflect that same compassion through generosity, justice, and mercy rather than indifference or oppression. Proverbs 14:31 — "Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God." This directly links kindness to the needy with honoring God Himself. Christianity teaches that true faith involves heartfelt compassion that leads to action: defending, providing for, and uplifting the needy, as this reflects God's character and is how we love both God and others. Ignoring them is seen as contrary to God's will. But yet Gill calls himself Christian.

If it is such a problem, then why doesn't the Republican control Congress send legislation out for a vote that excludes ICE's $10 billion yearly funding and fund all other entities. Due to the "One Big Beautiful Bill" ICE should have plenty of money to continue their barbaric tactics without the $10 billion. This is nothing more than the right-wing propaganda machine spitting out false rhetoric in an effort to get anger out into the public. It is all about keeping the people angry at each other, so we lose sight of how the billionaire class wants to destroy the working class.

"Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and in influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump CONFIRMS the Pentagon will be requesting another $200 BILLION from Congress, with the Iran war ongoing "Biden gave $300 BILLION worth of cash and military equipment to Ukraine and did not rebuild ANYTHING." "We want to have a VAST amount of ammunition... We have a lot of ammunition. But it was taken down by giving so much to Ukraine. They gave SO much." "It's a small price to pay to make sure we stay tippy top."

Broader national security claims (e.g., from DHS statements or Republican sources) describe the shutdown as "undermining" homeland security, jeopardizing preparations for events like major sports tournaments or increasing vulnerability to threats. However, these appear more tied to political rhetoric than evidence of imminent catastrophe—no major security breaches, disasters, or terror incidents have been directly attributed to the shutdown in available reporting. Current evidence does not indicate Americans face grave, systemic peril.

No, Congress cannot realistically pass the SAVE America Act using the budget reconciliation process. The SAVE America Act is legislation that amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. Budget reconciliation is a special congressional procedure that allows certain bills affecting federal revenues, spending, or the debt limit to pass the Senate with a simple majority (51 votes) instead of needing 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. However, reconciliation is strictly limited by the Byrd Rule (named after Sen. Robert Byrd), which requires provisions to have a direct and significant budgetary impact. The SAVE America Act is fundamentally an elections policy bill focused on voter registration, citizenship verification, and ID requirements for voting. It does not involve significant changes to federal spending, revenues, or the deficit in a way that qualifies under reconciliation rules.

🚨BREAKING: Sen. John Kennedy is moving to put the SAVE America Act as RECONCILIATION, which only needs 50+1 votes. Reconciliation means they can pass it with 50 votes, not 60. If the SAVE America Act is written as a budget-related bill (money, funding, enforcement) it qualifies for reconciliation which allows it to pass with a simple majority. Why has it taken so long to come up with this? Why is Senator Kennedy coming up with it? … Instead of our leader John Thune? Thune has to go! Whether corrupt, compromised, or utterly incompetent, he has to go!

Now is it starting to make sense why Biden sent over $100B+ to Ukraine? Zelensky and his WEF goons helped Biden steal the 2020 election and made sure they collected their reward. It’s a dirty game and the swamp uses our tax dollars to stay in power.

1⃣ I would leave this one up to the medical experts not Trump or Kennedy who have no experience or in-depth knowledge about with this type of process. 2⃣ I will give you the border is closed but where will the U.S. get the labor force to overcome the shortages and loss billions in tax revenue? ⚫️Recent data shows immigrants make up about 26-30% of the overall construction workforce nationally, with higher shares (often 32-40% or more) in skilled trades and in states like California, Texas, and Florida. ⚫️Agriculture relies even more heavily on immigrant labor than construction does. Foreign-born workers make up about 70% of the hired farm workforce nationwide, with many (around 40-42% of crop workers) being undocumented or unauthorized. ⚫️How does Trump plan to make up the $90 - $100 billion tax revenue loss annually from these workers. 3⃣Fact-checks from multiple sources indicate Trump's claim o fending eight wars is exaggerated: not all the listed conflicts were full-scale wars; several have not fully ended or have seen renewed fighting. Here are two wars Trump touts he ended: ⚫️ The war between Iran and Israel which obviously has escalated not ended. ⚫️The war between Israel and Hamas has a ceasefire only with major issues like Hamas disarmament, Gaza governance, and a potential two-state solution remain unresolved, and both sides have threatened to abandon the truce amid delays and violations. ⚫️Thailand and Cambodia issue was not a war but a brief border skirmish that lasted less than a week. Egypt and Ethiopia: This was never an active war but a long-standing dispute over Ethiopia's Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Nile River, affecting water supplies. No formal peace deal has been reached despite Trump's comments; talks stalled, and his involvement (including from his first term) hasn't resolved it. ⚫️Serbia and Kosovo: Stemming from 1990s Balkan wars, this involves ongoing tensions without recent active fighting. Trump claims he prevented hostilities through trade threats, but no war broke out, and key progress ties back to unimplemented economic normalization deals from his first term in 2020. 4⃣ If Trump is so transparent about the Epstein files than why are there millions of files not released yet? The part about burn bags has been debunked previously. There has been no supporting evidence showing this partisan rhetoric and speculation by Republican figures. 5⃣ Longer-term research (up to around 2025 data) indicates OZ designation increased workplace jobs within zones by about 1.3%, but roughly 84% of these gains were offset by job declines in nearby low-income areas—suggesting geographic reallocation rather than net new jobs. 6⃣ During Donald Trump's first presidency (January 2017 to January 2021), the net change in U.S. employment was a loss of approximately 2.7 million jobs, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data on total nonfarm payroll employment. This makes his term the first in modern U.S. history (since at least 1939) to end with a net job loss over a full term. 7⃣ During Trumps second presidency sources indicate overall net job losses or near-flat growth through February 2026. One analysis notes a net decline of about -213,000 jobs from January 2025 through February 2026. 8⃣ Trump’s policies have prompted some targeted reshoring and investments, particularly in strategic industries, but have not led to a broad return of manufacturing and jobs. To date Trump's job growth record is below zero. BIDEN ACHIEVEMENTS Over President Biden's time in office: 🔵The economy added 16.6 million jobs, and Gross Domestic Product grew 12.6%. The Biden-Harris Administration is the only administration in history to have created jobs every single month. 🔵The Administration achieved the lowest average unemployment in 50 years—with record-low unemployment rates for Black Americans, Latino Americans, women, veterans, workers without a high school diploma, and workers with disabilities. 🔵The share of working-age Americans in the workforce reached its highest level in two decades, and the share of working-age women in the workforce hit a record high. 🔵The strong labor market led to better pay and working conditions. After-tax incomes increased by nearly $4,000, accounting for inflation, and real wages grew most quickly for low-wage workers. This is the strongest recovery for real wage growth in 50 years. 🔵Wealth, adjusted for inflation, rose a record 37% for the median American household. 🔵Americans filed a record 21 million new small business applications, the most in any presidential administration in history. This small business growth was particularly strong among Black and Latino small business owners—with Black business ownership doubling since 2019 and hitting a 30-year high for Latino families. 🔵The American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act—is making smart public investments all across the country to catalyze additional private sector investments, increasing growth and American economic competitiveness. To date, President Biden's Investing in America agenda has helped attract over $1 trillion in announced private-sector investments in clean energy and manufacturing, and created over 1.6 million construction and manufacturing jobs. 🔵The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—a once-in-a-generation investment in America's infrastructure and competitiveness. Since then, the Biden-Harris Administration has broken ground on projects to rebuild our roads and bridges, upgrade transit and rail, modernize ports and airports, deliver clean and safe water, clean up legacy pollution, expand access to high-speed internet, lower energy costs, and build a clean energy economy. 🔵To date, the Biden-Harris Administration has announced nearly $600 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding and launched over 72,000 specific infrastructure projects and awards. This includes: 🟢Improvements on over 200,000 miles of roads and over 12,000 bridge repair projects. 🟢Launching over 2,400 drinking water and wastewater projects across the country. 🟢Replacing nearly 500,000 lead pipes, benefitting over 1.2 million people. 🟢Funding to deploy nearly 4,600 low-and zero-emission American-made transit buses and over 8,900 clean school buses in over 1,300 communities across the country. 🟢Funding nearly 450 rail projects as part of the largest investment since Amtrak was created more than 50 years ago. 🟢Funding for over 1,000 port and waterway projects to strengthen supply chains. Investments in over 400 projects to modernize and expand airport terminals—over 200 of which are under construction or complete. 🟢Removing hazardous fuel material from nearly 18 million acres of land to mitigate the impact of wildfires. Enabling over 23 million low-income households to access free or discounted high-speed internet service. 🟢Plugging nearly 9,600 orphaned oil and gas wells to address legacy pollution. 🔵Over the next decade, President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will: 🟢Replace every lead pipe in the country. Connect every home and small business to affordable, reliable, high-speed internet. 🟢Improve over 350,000 miles of roads—enough to circle the globe 14 times. 🟢Repair or rebuild more than a dozen of the nation's most economically significant bridges, and replace tens of thousands of smaller bridges across the country. 🟢Build the country's first high-speed rail corridors and transform Amtrak with an all-new fleet, modernized stations, and upgraded infrastructure. 🟢Improve transportation options for millions of Americans and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the largest investment in public transit in U.S. history. 🟢Deliver over 1,000 projects at airports and ports to strengthen our supply chains and prevent future disruptions. 🟢Install EV chargers on major highway corridors every 50 miles and in communities all across America. 🟢Upgrade power infrastructure to deliver clean, reliable energy across the country and deploy cutting-edge energy technology to achieve a zero-emissions future. 🟢Make infrastructure resilient against the impacts of climate change, cyber-attacks, and extreme weather events. 🔵Since President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act: 🟢The private sector has announced more than $300 billion in new clean energy manufacturing and power investments, contributing to the highest level of real manufacturing construction spending and private investment on record. Since President Biden took office, companies have announced over $470 billion in new clean power manufacturing and deployment investments. 🟢Companies have announced more than 330,000 new clean energy jobs and are on track to create 1.5 million additional jobs over the next decade. This is in part due to the law's transformative new and expanded tax credits for clean energy, buildings, vehicles, fuels, and manufacturing. 🟢Combined with the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the law is projected to reduce emissions in 2030 by about 1 gigaton—10 times more climate benefit than any other legislation in history. 🟢The United States is now in a strong position to cut climate pollution over 50% by 2030 and over 60% by 2035 compared to 2005 levels, and to achieve a net-zero economy by 2050. 🟢In 2023 alone, more than 3.4 million American families saved $8.4 billion on home clean energy upgrades. 🟢More than 300,000 Americans have saved over $2 billion in upfront costs on electric vehicles, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act's consumer tax credits. 🟢Medicare has negotiated prices for its first 10 drugs under its drug price negotiation program, which will save taxpayers $6 billion on prescription drugs costs and consumers $1.5 billion in out of-of-pocket costs in 2026 alone. 🟢65 million seniors and other Medicare beneficiaries are benefitting from $35 insulin, free recommended vaccines, and an annual out-of-pocket cost cap of $2,000 per year. 🔵President Biden: 🟢Signed the Butch Lewis Act as part of the American Rescue Plan, saving the pensions of two million hard-working union workers and retirees. 🟢Already, more than 120,000 retirees received an average of $13,600 each in earned benefits that were protected or restored. 🟢Signed the Social Security Fairness Act, becoming the first President in more than 20 years to expand Social Security benefits. This bill expanded benefits by hundreds of dollars per month for more than 2.5 million Americans. 🟢Signed the "Good Jobs" Executive Order on Investing in America and Investing in American Workers, which calls on agencies to promote strong labor standards—including the free and fair choice to join a union, robust workforce development programs like registered apprenticeships, and worker health and safety—as they award funding from the Investing in America agenda. 🟢Finalized a rule to restore and extend overtime pay protections for millions of workers. Proposed a new rule from the Department of Labor to protect 36 million workers from extreme heat on the job. 🟢Raised the minimum wage to $17.75 per hour for federal contract workers. 🟢Published the first update to Davis-Bacon prevailing wages in nearly 40 years, which will increase pay for one million construction workers. 🟢Fought for and implemented fivefold bonus credits for clean energy projects that employ prevailing wages and registered apprenticeships to ensure fair pay and a skilled workforce. 🟢Required Project Labor Agreements on nearly all major federal construction projects over $35 million, so federal construction projects will be delivered on time and on budget with good wages and well-trained workers. 🟢Designated nine Workforce Hubs across the country to build partnerships among unions, educators, employers, and local governments centered around training residents for good-paying jobs created by the Investing in America agenda. 🟢Signed a Registered Apprenticeship Executive Order to bolster apprenticeships in the federal workforce. 🟢Invested more than $730 million in Registered Apprenticeships, leading to more than one million registered apprentices receiving gold standard earn-as-you-learn training for in-demand jobs. 🟢Signed into law bipartisan protections for pregnant and postpartum workers and strengthened protections for survivors of sexual assault and harassment in the workplace. 🟢Through the CHIPS and Science Act, provided nearly $300 million in dedicated funding to-date for training and workforce development to ensure local communities have access to the jobs of the future in upcoming projects. 🟢Introduced a requirement that companies receiving grants over $150 million under the CHIPS and Science Act create a plan to ensure access to quality, affordable child care for their employees. 🟢Expanded remedies available to workers through the National Labor Relations Board when employers engage in unionbusting. 🟢Overhauled the process for union representation elections by requiring employers to bargain if they commit an unfair labor practice during the election process, and by reducing unnecessary delays before workers can vote. 🟢Launched the first-ever White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, chaired by Vice President Harris, which resulted in over 70 actions to promote worker organizing and collective bargaining for federal employees and workers employed by public- and private-sector employers. 🟢Signed a first-of-its-kind Presidential Memorandum on Advancing Worker Empowerment, Rights, and High Labor Standards Globally to uphold common standards and fundamental workers' rights that are key for American workers and companies to compete fairly in the global economy. I will give more Biden achievements once you give me actual things Trump achieved not what he said he has achieved because they are always two different things.

He ended the mutilation and sterilization of minors. He closed the damn border. He ended eight major conflicts including a 100-year war. He signed the transparency act, giving every American access to the Epstein files that democratic politicians placed in burn bags in a locked room. We have 24/7 access to everything going on in the White House, with every session, hearing, conference, interview, absolutely everything available for free for us to see. A stark difference from not seeing anything in the last administration. He gave historical and permanent funding to historical black colleges and universities and created 9,000 opportunity zones so all those people you call too dumb to figure out how to get an ID can get all documents for free. He brought industries and jobs back to America so we’re not forced to buy Chinese anymore. He created accounts so that all newborns have investment accounts with $1000, unless the parents are too greedy, of course. Shall I continue? You owe me a lot of accomplishments that came from the Biden admin. And go.

There are multiple video clips and reports of Trump's former Attorney General William Barr stating that the Department of Justice (DOJ) found no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election that could have changed the outcome, which implicitly affirmed Joe Biden's victory as legitimate under the official results. Barr later reiterated similar points in private testimony to the January 6 Committee (played publicly in hearings), calling fraud claims "bullshit," "bogus," and "detached from reality," and confirming he told Trump there was no basis for them. The only voter fraud that is taking place is by people that support Trump. Example is Elon Musk's PAC that was caught illegally sent out partially pre-filled absentee ballot applications to Georgia voters during the 2024 election cycle, which violated Georgia's state law. Below appears to establish that Trump is either very, very, very lucky (1 in 1 Octillion) or there was cheating on his behalf from someone.
