It hurts my soul that people have been psyoped into not wanting children. I can’t even explain what you’re missing out on

On June 28, 1776, South Carolina Patriots defeated the British Royal Navy in the Battle of Sullivan's Island. South Carolina held the line, outnumbered and unwilling to back down. South Carolinians do not fold under pressure. We never have. Today, we recognize the brave men who fought not just for our state, but for our nation's independence. Happy Carolina Day. South Carolina STRONG.

I want to start a company one day. Musk’s wealth is mostly equity in the businesses he built and scaled, not cash hoarded in a vault. He’s already paid more in taxes than almost anyone in history. This isn’t about monopoly power over a market, it’s personal ownership. The real barrier for new founders like me is government regulations that make it nearly impossible to compete. Meanwhile Bernie, worth several million himself with multiple homes, lectures everyone about wealth while living far better than the average American he claims to fight for. Total hypocrite. What precedent is he setting?

Bernie Sanders: After receiving the largest tax break in history from Trump, some 900 billionaires in our country became $2.2 trillion richer. One man, Elon Musk, a trillionaire... owns three times more wealth than the bottom 50% of American households.

@trey3keys @Tectone Fuck off you tedious nonce.

Maybe groceries cost so much because we give 50 million people them for free

@CarneEspadaz @Tectone sciencedirect.com/science/articl… here you go buddy

@trey3keys @Tectone That’s a lot of words to say you love making shit up.

You dropped the absolute claim that grocery price increases “have nothing to do with” people on SNAP. No evidence, no nuance, just a flat declaration. Then when I pushed back, you demanded sources like the burden was on me. That’s backwards. You made the bold assertion. The onus was on you to back it up first, not play prosecutor after the fact. Then when I actually gave you a source, your entire rebuttal was “it’s three years old”? That’s not a counterargument. That’s intellectual laziness dressed up as skepticism. Dismissing evidence solely because of its age without addressing the findings is pure cope and moving the goalposts. And the immediate pivot to “you people just stick up for the rich” is textbook deflection when the conversation stops going your way. Bad faith all the way down.

@trey3keys @Tectone You cited a three-year old study that states SNAP benefits can inflate costs. But why not research why prices are so high right now? If you did, you would see that SNAP isn't even near the top of the list. Jesus Christ, you people go out of your way to stick up for the rich

Here’s some more data to ponder over: Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) analysis (using 2024 SIPP data): ~53% of immigrant-headed households use at least one major welfare program, compared to ~37% of U.S.-born households. Non-citizen-headed households: ~59%. Legal immigrant households: ~51%. Non-citizens (including lawful permanent residents and undocumented) can often access benefits on behalf of U.S.-born citizen children. About 36-38% of non-citizen households have a U.S.-born minor child. Non-citizen households, traditional welfare or EITC/ACTC eligibility based on country of origin: Afghanistan (~87%), Dominican Republic (~78%), Guatemala (~77%), Honduras (~75%), Mexico (~67%). India (~16%), Canada (~21%), UK (~25%), Korea (~30%).

Dude, you refuted the claim… If you were serious about this, you’d have done the research before spewing whatever fits your viewpoint. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Key finding: A 1% increase in SNAP benefits per population raises grocery store prices by a persistent 0.08%. The effect is stronger in areas with higher SNAP participation rates and higher grocery market concentration (retailers have some market power and raise markups on both SNAP-eligible and ineligible products). I am not saying there aren’t other factors, there absolutely is. But, you are the one that claimed that SNAP usage and grocery prices aren’t correlated.

@TonyD842827 @Tectone I’m not defending anyone. These are my own views. Can you show me where you see that there is no correlation? Because I was able to find evidence that prices do go up.

@trey3keys @Tectone No, I'm implying that you're full of shit. The rise in grocery prices have nothing to do with people on Snap. People have been receiving government assistance forever. This is just a way to defend the orange jackass in office who claimed prices would drop on "day one."

Point out facts and you result in name calling. A quick google search would tell you that assistance programs do impact grocery prices. Not only that, taxes also go up. I am not saying that people should starve. I am saying that the influx of immigration, especially immigration from specific countries, places a burden on our assistance programs. There needs to be a balance, but people like you have no intention on finding a balance. I wholeheartedly agree that people should not starve. But placing that burden on tax-paying Americans is going to lead to Americans to suffer. I am American first. We have enough problems ourselves.

@trey3keys @Tectone It has fuckall to do with how much groceries cost. Prices have risen much faster than the number of people receiving these benefits. You’re still just doing bullshit daily talking points. That makes you a miserable lying cunt.

@TonyD842827 @Tectone Being old doesn’t take away from the facts… are you implying that giving ~42 million people grocery benefits ~doesn’t~ drive the price up?

@trey3keys @Tectone Because it is old. It was stupid, anyway. Throw it away. Yuck.

Your “not true” is cope. SNAP gives benefits to ~42 million people monthly. That’s over $100 billion a year in federal taxpayer money for groceries. That’s massive added demand. Undocumented are federally barred from direct SNAP. Legal non-citizens in certain categories get it. Citizen kids in mixed households get prorated benefits. But illegals receiving? Look at the NYC migrant hotels during the surge. The city spent billions on hotel shelters for migrants (mostly illegal border crossers/asylum claimants) and handed out prepaid debit cards loaded with taxpayer cash specifically for food and baby supplies. This subsidized demand hits grocery prices. Denying the numbers and the receipts changes nothing.

@Tectone Unfortunately for your daily talking point, that's not true. You're welcome to go fuck yourself though.

@TonyD842827 @Tectone Why did it expire?

@Tectone This approved Republican talking point expired in April. I believe they've now opened up the new "I stand with those patriotic Giants pitchers!" talking point.

@clashreport Christianity in my country has devolved into something unrecognizable, and I’m one of the inheritors of that decline. It’s been incredibly hard to find God for myself, and for so many of my peers.

White House Faith Director Jenny Korn: When people come to you and say, 'No, no, no, separation of church and state,' you stop them. Separation of church and state means that the government can't dictate to you what religion you can be. It does not mean you don't have a voice in your government. You could say all day long, sure, the church get out of government. Well, how about the government get out of church.

@bangenergyceo2 @Eldskald06 @bruiser813 @nicksortor The US explicitly recognizes dual citizenship, and many such babies automatically gain their parents’ nationality by descent alongside US birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. You are such a clown dude.

@Eldskald06 @bruiser813 @nicksortor A baby born here doesnt hold citizenship to another country as far as the US is concerned

🚨 JUST NOW: Stephen Miller absolutely UNLOADED on birthright citizenship for babies of illegals "If this country doesn't, one way or another, end birthright citizenship, this country DOES NOT have a future." "The idea that you can just set foot on US Soil and any child you have gets to be an American citizen and vote in our elections, collect our welfare, sit in our juries, is such an OUTRAGE to the idea of having a country." SPOT ON, @StephenM

I’m sure we must be reading a different constitution. The constitution of the United States says, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”. So, I can only come to these three conclusions. A) You deliberately select parts of the constitution to ignore. B) You don’t understand “… and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”. C) We are reading a different constitution. In any case, it is detrimental to our country to leave these laws in place if it can easily be taken advantage. Our adversaries will exploit our country in any and every way they can. Why should we leave such an obvious loophole in place?

Natural-born citizenship for everyone born in the United States — including the children of temporary visitors and illegal immigrants — *MUST* be upheld. The Constitution’s plain text requires it. Public policy be damned. 🇺🇸

U.S. intelligence intercepted Ukrainian government communications discussing an alleged plot to redirect hundreds of millions of American tax dollars earmarked for clean energy projects in Ukraine back to the US to fund then-President Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign and the DNC, according to declassified documents obtained by JTN.

To be honest, we don’t have the first clue on home building😂 but, we do know that we despise the current cookie-cutter, cheap labor, cheap material builds we see so often today. We want to support real American craftsmen who take pride in it, and I can see the pride and purpose in your work. If anything, I’d just like to let you know that it is beautiful, and important work you’re doing.

@trey3keys Specifically like us in terms of holistic design-build? None that I know of, but there are good masons (especially drystone) and timber framers.

Crazy aspect about our latest project is that the client reached out and said, "So, I want you to build my house. Where do I need to move to?" After a stunned silence, we said Vermont and he countered with NH. We said deal A new standard for clients has been unlocked
