Excellent video on National Debt from Congressman Schweikert
NOTE FROM KANE
As long as the headlines can be seen, green and red showing up as black for example, that’s fine.
I thought they couldn’t be seen at all for colorblind readers — invisible headlines.
So I’m not worried about it now. Thanks for all the feedback below.

The Greatest Second Amendment Victory in a Century | Jason Smith, December 4, 2025
Starting Jan. 1, 2026, the $200 federal tax stamp and the $200 manufacturer or “making” tax on short-barrel shotguns, short-barrel rifles and firearm suppressors will be eliminated. That means Americans who choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights will no longer face a government-imposed financial penalty. I wrote this provision into the bill because the Second Amendment is not for sale, and it should never carry a price tag.
To understand the importance of this change, one needs to understand its history. In 1934, Congress slapped a $200 tax on short-barrel shotguns, short-barrel rifles and suppressors. The purpose was simple. Washington sought to discourage ordinary Americans from exercising their constitutional right to defend themselves. It worked. For decades, only the wealthy or the most determined could afford to pay the tax or navigate the long and complicated process for these arbitrarily short firearms or suppressors designed to protect their hearing.
The rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution belong to every American regardless of income or tax bracket. Our constitutional rights should never be privileges for the wealthy. They are freedoms that must be protected from government overreach. These rights are secured by our right to keep and bear arms.

This song represents the Drive- By media. This was when those Boomers who are now in there late 60s and 70s wanted freedom of speech and thought. And yet many have fallen prey to the Woke.

“I’m The Slime”
I am gross and perverted
I’m obsessed ‘n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I’m the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think I’m delicious
With the stuff that I say
I’m the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I’m the slime oozin’ out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t go for help… no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That’s right, folks…
Don’t touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go
I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go
Wake up late, honey, put on your clothes
And take your credit card to the liquor store
Well, that’s one for you and two for me by tonight
3 Bottom Lines On Our Military shooting Up Illegal Drug Shipments.
1. Drugs that destroy the lives of Americans don’t get into America.
2. People who sell drugs to Americans are justly punished without the legal folderol of our court system.
3. Liberals who cry over killing drug runners, and, who don’t prosecute or jail drug runners, are revealed as not caring about the suffering and personal lives destroyed by drugs.
To quote a Vietnam era T-Shirt, “Kill ‘em all. Let God sort ‘em out.”

If Somalis stole $8bln from the US (that we know of so far), then the US owns 57% of Somalia’s GDP for the next year or until paid back. That makes us majority stakeholders who get to make ALL the decisions there until the debt is cleared.
Hey Texas! Vote Ken Paxton for Senate. That is all…

Ken Paxton takes victory lap.
Love Ken Paxton! He had lots of us who are fans! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Me too! If I’m in Texas – and eligible to vote, I’m pulling the lever for Paxton.
We love you, Flyin’! Thanks! Paxton has been a great warrior!
This Texan is not undecided. Paxton it is. We know what we’re getting: someone who fights for Texas. I couldn’t care less about his personal life’s as long as he hasn’t committed a crime.
Wesley Hunt will be a good senator in a few years. He needs a bit of time to grow his base and do some good work in the House. I like him.

Good Morning,
Week 45 of 208 during President Trump’s second term.
Key Takeaway:
The Drug Cartel is The Deep State.
The Venezuelan Drug Cartel is known as the ‘ Cartel of the Suns’ , because of the sun symbol on the uniform of high level military figures in Maduro’ s Neo- Marxist Government.
IE: Maduro’s Military is The Venezuelan Drug Cartel.
One does not have to stretch one imagination to realize that, if the ‘ Drug Cartel ‘ is a military function in Venezuela, then, the ‘ Drug Cartel ‘ was also, a function of The U.S. military.
This is why the Deep State hates President Trump so much.

Friends, it’s time for a change. M.A.G.A. is that change !
” When in the course of human events , it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands ,( Cartels ), which have connected with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature, and of Nature’s God entitled them , a decent respect to the options of mankind requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to the separation.
