Anyone in DC who isn't calling out, and actually doing something about, the lobbyists sellout culture. Is part of the lobbyists sellout culture. Even those who southern accents who sound sincere. Lack of real action is culpability.
The 4 billion is a start, but it's 98% political theater. Very poorly timed theater. Should have happened weeks ago.
This would be a start, but…
1) It’s pennies on the dollar. We’ve spent over $50 billion on the War with Iran on behalf of Israel.
2) The same American taxpayer funds will just flow through as military assistance/coordination instead of as a separate line item in the appropriations bills.
3) They spent $30 million against me because I was the only remaining Republican to oppose this foreign aid. You’d have to be a fool to think they’re going to end this. It’s a desperate Election Day lie.
Well said! If you think about it it's effectively a wealth tax on most Americans' biggest asset.
HYPOTHETICALLY… IF I BOUGHT MY HOUSE FOR $125,000 IN 2002 AND THE COUNTY NOW SAYS IT’S WORTH $487,000, WHERE DID I ACTUALLY MAKE $362,000?
Did I sell it? No.
Did I receive $362,000? No.
Did somebody hand me a check for the new assessed value? Obviously not.
But my property taxes still go up because, on paper, my house is suddenly worth hundreds of thousands more.
That’s the part that doesn’t make sense to me.
This isn’t income.
It isn’t cash sitting in my bank account.
It’s a number someone assigned to my property, and now I’m being billed based on that number.
If my stock portfolio doubles but I don’t sell, I haven’t turned that gain into cash.
If my salary stays the same, I don’t suddenly owe more income tax because someone thinks I’m worth more.
So why does owning a home work differently?
WHY AM I PAYING TAX ON A GAIN I NEVER REALIZED?
A house isn’t just an investment.
It’s where people live.
You can pay off the mortgage, own the property outright, and still face a bigger bill every year because the value of the house went up on paper.
At some point, you have to ask what “owning” something actually means if the cost of keeping it can keep rising because of money you never received.
THIS ISN’T ABOUT WHETHER THE HOUSE IS “WORTH” MORE.
IT’S ABOUT BEING CHARGED FOR VALUE YOU NEVER TURNED INTO CASH.
And people are starting to notice.

These Israeli propagandist overuse of the term antisemitism when they can't make a rational argument is utterly pathetic. People despise the Israeli government's actions and capture of our politicians, not the Jewish faith.
Dave Smith absolutely DESTROYS @AlanDersh
after Alan Dershowitz calls Dave an antisemite.
This was beautiful. 🤣😂

It absolutely maniacal what “our” leadership has done now and in years past. We are occupied, and there is no other way to say it.
As Charlie Kirk would say, “Prove me wrong.”
The US has spent decades effectively paying countries in the Middle East to keep peace with Israel — not humanitarian aid, but political leverage.
Israel’s large aid predates 1979, but Camp David formalized a 3:2 funding ratio that made Egypt’s peace treaty possible.
Israel gets the biggest check: $3.8B/yr (2019-2028 MOU), almost all military financing.
Cumulative since 1948: $174B nominal, ~$298-330B inflation-adjusted — the largest amount of US foreign aid ever given to any country.
Egypt got the same deal for signing peace w/ Israel in 1979: ~$1.4B/yr now.
Since that treaty, the US has given Egypt $64B total (~$40B military, ~$24B economic, per GAO).
It became the 2nd largest aid recipient in the world overnight.
Jordan joined after its 1994 treaty w/ Israel: ~$1.65B/yr now.
Combined, Israel+Egypt+Jordan have received $280B from the US since 1946 (CRS).
Jordan even got $702M in US debt forgiven in ’94 as a peace-signing bonus.
The rationale, per Congress’s own research arm (CRS):
Foreign aid has been used as leverage to encourage peace between Israel and her Arab neighbors — it helped enable both countries to take the risks needed for peace.”
Subsidized peace, funded indefinitely by US taxpayers.
This “peace” isn’t free at home either. At least 28 states have anti-BDS laws penalizing Americans for boycotting Israel — conditioning state contracts/jobs on pledges not to.
Federal courts in KS, TX & AZ ruled these violate the First Amendment.
In 2025-26, the US used a rarely-invoked immigration law to detain & try to deport a Columbia green-card holder (Mahmoud Khalil) over pro-Palestinian speech, citing “foreign policy interests.”
A federal judge called the legal theory likely unconstitutional.
We the People work hard and send our hard earned money over to keep the peace.
And we suffer with healthcare costs, not being able to make ends meet, Social Security shortfalls, and the list could go on ad nauseam.
We have just a few people in Washington who are for We the People. One of these lost his seat because of Trump and his AIPAC supporters.
And unfortunately, trying to get these elected representatives to do what’s right for us goes against their allegiance to their PAC monies.
