The most powerful weapon we possess is our mind. It's the only thing we own that no one can control unless we allow it. It has no master or mistress. It can't be caged or imprisoned. Learn to control it and you control your destiny.

When people call Democrat leadership weak this is what they mean. We have the support of the people, we just had a blue wave election, Trump’s approval rating is at its lowest point ever, and now Dems wanna take a deal that gets the hope of a promise. SMH

MSNBC panel just torched Chuck Schumer:
“This is the end of Chuck Schumer as we go forward.”
They’re right, how do you lose a fight to protect the ACA when 80% of Americans agree with you, and you just won an election?

Mark Kelly: Elon Musk is "not a serious guy. He's like a 12-year-old, so I don't take him seriously."
No one with an IQ>50 takes Musk seriously. I briefly fell for Musk’s “genius” shtick and leased a Tesla whose defects helped me overcome my delusions.

Just pointing out that Hakeem Jeffries got TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE House Democrats to hold the line.

He was elected by a majority of New York voters. He deserves a chance to run things differently since the city has long been a cesspool of corruption and discrimination. Being against the Jewish state doesn't mean being against the Jewish people. Just corrupt Jewish officials.
