This is the best idea yet!

@PattyMurray Don’t forget WA State is MISSING over $5.5 BILLION, stolen from hard working taxpayers!

This guy is insatiable. He raids retirement while shaking their hands. Washington State Democrats have terminated pension plans for police officers & firefighters, raiding billions to pay for Democrat Spending It has become the first state in US history to terminate a public employee pension plan. The legislature in Olympia passed the bill and the related federal lawsuit filed in Seattle. Governor Bob Ferguson, a Democrat, signed Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill 2034 (E2SHB 2034) into law. The termination of LEOFF Plan 1 takes effect June 30, 2029. Details: 🔺️LEOFF Plan 1 covers law enforcement officers and firefighters hired before October 1, 1977. 🔺️It closed to new members decades ago and now serves about 5,500-6,000 mostly retired members and beneficiaries. 🔺️As of the state's own June 2024 actuarial valuation, the plan stood at 160% funded, with a substantial surplus. 🔺️No employer or employee contributions have been required for 25 years since it hit full funding around 2000. 🔺️Projections showed it heading to over 200% funded with a $4.3 billion surplus by 2029. 🔺️The law terminates the existing plan and "restates" it into a new system. 🔺️It transfers enough assets to the new fund to leave it at 110% funded, then sweeps the rest - expected at $3.9 billion - into a pension surplus holding account. 🔺️From there, politicians can redirect it for general spending. 🔺️$569 million goes to the Climate Commitment Account and $880 million goes to refill the rainy day fund that Democrats already drained to cover a deficit they created through overspending. Other portions eyed climate programs and general budget gaps. The Bill was sponsored by Rep. Timm Ormsby (D-Spokane), it passed the House 55-39 (every yes vote was a Democrat, while republicans voted no). The state claims members have a contractual right only to their benefits, not surplus assets, and that ~80% of original contributions came from the state. Critics call this a betrayal of the deal for first responders who risk their lives to protect the public. Retired first responders sued with former King County Sheriff and Congressman Dave Reichert (R), who served as a LEOFF 1 member since 1972 being the lead plaintiff. Other plaintiffs include leaders from retired police and firefighter associations. Many say local and state governments are funding illegal migrants while ripping away pensions for first responders.

This video should be broadcast 24/7. The Muslim Brotherhood leader explains in his own words that, after 700 years of failed attempts to conquer Europe by force, they are now conquering it peacefully with the help of naive Western governments. The EU's weak and corrupt politicians have caused a disaster of biblical proportions. This won't end well.

@GovBobFerguson Ferguson record would suggest that he is actually undermines law-enforcement

🇺🇸 As you lay your head down to sleep this evening, please pray for this man & his team as he travels to China. 🙏 May God almighty protect our President Trump, give him wisdom, strength & discernment as he navigates the international waters on behalf of the American People. We pray for divine protection. 🙏 We ask this in Jesus' Name 🕊 Amen

If you received $20 from X last month and posted in support of these initiatives, is your speech now considered a contribution? How do you even begin to administer rules for this? You can't and they know it. This is an effort to quiet LGW and Brandi and force them to spend money on defending themselves instead of furthering the initiative. Beat them at their own game.

Since Leader Thune REFUSES to give us the SAVE America Act, I ask every Republican in Louisiana to DEFEAT Senator Cassidy on 🗓️ Saturday, May 16th I ask every Republican in Texas to DEFEAT Senator Cornyn by electing Ken Paxton on 🗓️ Tuesday, May 26th

Have you noticed that in nearly 10 years, not one journalist has ever asked Barack Obama why he spied on Donald Trump?

Seattle and Washington State are a hell hole of left-wing terrorists, who are allowed and encouraged to chill speech by any means necessary. We need the federal government to step in and defend the First Amendment.

@seanhannity Sean, My name is Mike Bski. Army combat medic. Twenty-three years. Iraq. Medically retired, one hundred percent disabled. Four kids, a mortgage, and I teach high school science in Ohio because the VA check does not stretch as far as you'd think. I watch your show. I have for years. And I am writing to you because I have run out of smaller options. I need to tell you about something that is happening right now, today, to fifty-two thousand combat-wounded veterans, and I need you to understand it the way I do — not as a policy issue, not as a line item in a defense bill, but as a betrayal. A documented, mathematically provable, one-senator-is-personally-responsible betrayal of the people who bled for this country. But first. Your father. Hugh Hannity. World War II veteran. You grew up in that house. You know what it looks like when a man carries his service with him for the rest of his life — the way it shapes how he talks about this country, how he raised you, what he expected from you. I did not know your dad. But I know that type of man. I treated that type of man in Iraq. I have the greatest respect for what your father's generation gave this country, and I think you do too. So when I tell you what the government is doing to the men and women who came after him, I need you to hear it the way a son of a veteran hears it. Here is what is happening. When a service member enlists, two promises get made. First: serve twenty years and you earn a military retirement — 2.5% of base pay for every year you put in. Second: if you are injured in our service, the VA will compensate you for that injury. Two promises. Two separate benefits. Earned in two entirely different ways for two entirely different reasons. Now. A soldier is at eighteen years. Or seventeen. Or fourteen. He has been downrange multiple times. His body is done. The Army medically retires him — not his choice, the military's — because the body the government used up can no longer serve. He gets rated 100% disabled by the VA. He comes home. What does eighteen years of service pay him in retirement? Zero dollars. Not reduced. Not adjusted. Zero. The VA disability payment and the military retirement get offset against each other, dollar for dollar. Since the disability payment is larger, the retirement is completely wiped out. Eighteen years of service, gone, because the injury that ended his career is also being used to cancel the retirement that career earned. One injury. Punished twice. I want you to meet some of these men. Sgt. Lyle Allen. Tennessee. Army combat engineer. Fourteen years, multiple tours in Iraq. He was in a five-ton vehicle when the IED hit. His own words: "I was driving a five-ton vehicle, we got hit by an improvised explosive device. I don't remember too much. I remember the medics coming up to me, making sure I'm alright." He came home with a traumatic brain injury rated total and permanent — meaning it will never get better. The offset wipes out his retirement completely. Fourteen years of service. In his own words, he is "retired without retirement." Sgt. Chad Rogers. Also Tennessee. Multiple Iraq deployments. His injury was quieter and just as permanent. "Somewhere along the way, we don't know where. There were places that I would go into, and the air would taste weird, or the air would burn your skin." Came home 100% disabled from chemical exposure. His grandfather served in World War II — same generation as your father. Chad enlisted planning to serve twenty, maybe thirty years, just like his grandfather. "When I enlisted, I had every ambition of serving at least 20 years; the goal was 30 years." The government ended that ambition. And then took his retirement on top of it. Sgt. LaToya Lucas. Purple Heart. Iraq, 2003. An RPG hit her vehicle. Every year she receives a statement showing exactly in black and white how much money the offset took from her family that year. Not an estimate. A number. Right there on the page. Sgt. Amanda Tallman. Single mother. Medically retired. The offset costs her over twelve hundred dollars a month. Every month. That is rent. That is groceries. That is whether the lights stay on. Fifty-two thousand veterans. Every single month. Up to nineteen hundred dollars each. Gone. Sean, I need to tell you what it means to be a combat medic. Not the TV version. The real version. There are three rules every combat medic lives by. They do not teach you this in a classroom. You learn it because you have to. Rule one: good soldiers will die. Rule two: Doc cannot save everyone. Rule three: Doc will go through hell to break rules one and two. That third rule is the one that keeps us moving when everything in us wants to stop. But the battlefield does not care about your commitment. It does not care about your training or your heart or your prayer. It does math. And sometimes the math is the cruelest thing you will ever face. You want to know what the math looks like? I am going to tell you something I do not say out loud very often. You are downrange. You have casualties. And I look out and I see three of my best friends lying there — not strangers, not names on a roster. The ones I know the names of their wives and kids. The ones I helped with paperwork to buy a house while we were overseas. I see these three and I think — I can save all three of these. But the math does not care what I think. If I try to save all three, the stats say two will perish. So I pick the two that are less time consuming and I go to work. And I let the third one die. He is yelling and screaming as I take care of the other two. He can see me. He knows I am right there. He does not know why I am not coming for him. And I cannot stop to explain it. I just work. His yells will haunt me. Each night. Every night. But I saved two and I brought them home. Now those two — the ones who were so badly wounded in combat, the ones who almost did not make it, the ones who made it only because I refused to let them — they came home. They cannot work. Their bodies are done. Their careers were cut short not by their choice but by what happened to them on my watch. And every year the government mails them a statement. It tells them what they are entitled to for their retirement. What they earned. Right there in black and white. Then it shows them the bottom line. Zero. That is what I kept those men alive for. I need you to sit with that for a second before we talk about the bill. Now. Those two men — so badly wounded they almost did not make it, who made it only because you refused to let them die — they came home. They cannot work. Their bodies are done. They did what their country asked and then some, and their careers ended not by their choice but by what happened to them downrange. And every year the government mails them a statement. It tells them what they are entitled to for their retirement. What they earned. Years of service. Dollar amount. Right there in black and white. Then it shows them the bottom line. Zero. That is what I kept those men alive for. That is what Doc went through hell for. So the government could mail them a piece of paper every year reminding them of everything they earned and then explaining why they get none of it. I need you to sit with that for a second before we talk about the bill. The bill to fix this is called the Major Richard Star Act. Named after an Army combat engineer from Ohio — burn pit cancer, stage four, medically retired just short of twenty years. While he was fighting terminal cancer on an oxygen tank, while he barely had the breath to stand, the government was clawing back part of his retirement check every single month. He traveled to testify anyway. He made phone calls he barely had the lung capacity to make. He refused to quit. He died February 2021, age fifty-one years old, without ever seeing it pass. His wife Tonya quit her job to care for him through it all and kept fighting after he was gone. She fought until she was gone too. That is the human cost of delay. Both of them. Dead. Bill still not passed. The Major Richard Star Act is currently H.R. 2102, S. 1032, filed as S.Amdt.4056. The CBO — Congress's own accountants — certified it costs $9.75 billion over TEN years. Less than a billion dollars a year. It is the most cosponsored bill before Congress right now. Seventy-six senators. Over three hundred House members. Both parties. The votes have existed for YEARS to pass this bill. One man will not let it come to a vote. Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi. Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. He controls what gets scheduled, and he will not put this on the calendar. October 8, 2025 — Senator Blumenthal asked for unanimous consent to bring it to the floor. Wicker stood up and objected. One word. Done. Bill dead again. The very next morning he voted yes on a $924.7 billion defense authorization. Nine hundred and twenty-four billion dollars, Sean. In a single vote. The day after he could not find eight hundred million a year to stop the government stealing retirement pay from men who lost their legs, their lungs, and their minds in its service. And here is what should make your blood boil. He told the Senate floor the bill costs ten billion dollars per year. The CBO number is $9.75 billion over ten years. He was a cosponsor of this bill in 2021. He knew the actual number. He said a different one anyway, in his own name, on the floor of the United States Senate, to justify blocking a vote. He has done this for four consecutive Congresses. Six years. This is not confusion or incompetence. This is a choice. Sean, you have covered veterans your entire career. You emcee the Patriot Awards. You have honored these men and women on your show more times than I can count. Your father was one of them. Your audience — twenty million radio listeners, millions more on Fox every night — they love this country and the people who bled for it. Most of them have never heard of this bill, because it lives buried in the fine print of defense authorization language and VA benefit tables, and nobody has stood up with a prime time platform and said clearly: the government made a promise, one senator is breaking it, and people are dying waiting for it to be fixed. There is a discharge petition right now — H.Res. 1247 — that would bypass Wicker entirely and force a floor vote. It needs House members to sign. It needs the kind of public noise that only comes when someone with your reach says: this is wrong, this is happening right now, and here is what we do about it. I will come on any night you will have me. I can explain every number, walk through every veteran's story, and name every senator who has failed these fifty-two thousand people while smiling for the camera at a Veterans Day ceremony. I am a science teacher. I am used to explaining complicated things to people who did not come in wanting to care about them. By the end of class, they care. Your audience will care. You know they will. — Mike Bski (@BskiMike22802) Medically Retired Army Combat Medic | High School Science Teacher, Northeast Ohio | Father of Four

@BrandiKruse @KING5Seattle Here, send them this

@KING5Seattle Fuck you.

A Washington campaign finance watchdog alleges Let’s Go Washington failed to disclose political advertising from Brandi Kruse tied to two 2026 ballot initiatives, according to a complaint filed with the state Public Disclosure Commission. king5.com/article/news/l…

@DLoesch It's all in what you're used to. I've lived in western Washington my whole life, I like 50° & raining! Hate it more than 70°

LIVE NOW: '28 intrigue, DEI and Hollywood, Islamism, more.

Remove John Thune! 😡

💯😂

The GOP has been blowing up my phone for donations. LMAO, pass the Save Act & then we can talk money, you dckless disappointments.

@marceelias Why do you support separate but equal, apartheid voting? Haven't you Democrats inflicted enough racism on this country?

@RepJayapal Speaking of the environment, have you seen Washington state lately? There are drug toxins, and human waste and trash that are bleaching into our soil groundwater and flowing into Puget sound. But you don’t seem to care.

🚨AMY KLOBUCHAR JUST THREATENED “SCORCHED EARTH” ON ILHAN OMAR IF THE CORRUPT SOMALI CUNT DRAGS HER INTO THE MASSIVE MINNESOTA MEDICAID FRAUD SCANDAL — DEMOCRAT CANNIBALISM IS IN FULL BLOOD MODE! Follow @UnmaskTheSys The panic is real. Senator Amy Klobuchar is losing her shit over the possibility that Ilhan Omar’s upcoming testimony before the House Investigative Committee could tie her directly to the billions in Medicaid fraud ripping off American taxpayers. “If she drags me into her mess, I’ll go scorched earth,” Klobuchar raged to her staff. “That little b*tch doesn’t know who she’s messing with.”Whether Klobuchar is just pissed about the inconvenience or terrified she’s about to get caught red-handed, her unhinged language says everything. The same Democrats who spent years screaming about “democracy” are now turning on each other like rabid animals as the Minnesota Medicaid grift finally comes crashing down. This is what desperation looks like when the house of cards built on stolen taxpayer money starts to burn. Share this everywhere before the corrupt media tries to protect their fellow fraudsters!
