Dear @realDonaldTrump:
I am #TheBookstore. Small but busy biz located in The Market of Marion. My rent is now 50% of my gross plus there are termites. Meeting w/manager tomorrow. They are #MAGA. A RT from you could save me. Small biz needs to survive & thrive. Please help.
I have been one of your ardent supporters since Day One and I've used #TheBookstore as a venue to help support you. Ask @Scavino45. Ask @CLewandowski_ . Now...I need YOUR support.
One retweet from you might just turn my life around. Please show your support for the small businesses in our great nation. We are the salt of the earth. Thank you, Mr. President.
Never EVER give up! I'm going directly to the top, Mr. President. YOU! @POTUS
Folks.
Just imagine if I brought in a retweet from our PRESIDENT to the market manager tomorrow morning. Read my GoFundMe to see what I've been dealing with. The rent is astronomical. The termites are even worse. I have no recourse. gofundme.com/keeper-of-the-…
UPDATE:
I met Mr. Manager & I guess he doesn't watch @OANN. I don't think he would have even cared if @POTUS HAD retweeted me. Can't stop crying. Let's review. In 2013 I purchased #TheBookstore for 6K PLUS paid the market a $2K transfer fee (???). It's a REAL bookstore.
1/
See? It's beautiful. Oak cabinets. Pegboard covering walls & everything. Ceiling fans. Lighting. And books arranged by genre & author. I know where every book is. It looked like this. 2/
More photos.
A REAL BOOKSTORE.
Due to the ever escalating rent he wants me to dismantle everything & move it all over one aisle. This will cost me THOUSANDS I do not have. He suggested I sell my books cheaper like the Aisle H booksellers. He thinks my store could look like this. (Not a real bookstore) 3/
Gave 2 proposals of what I could afford to pay in a letter dated 6/30/19. No response until 3 weeks later when THE TERMITES returned. Horrible. These termites did not come from my store & it's been going on for 4 years. They never got a professional in until THIS WEEK.
4/
My story is a saga. He suggested I open my store as usual & he'll give me an answer on Sunday. I've been boxing books for 4 weeks. My aisles can't even be navigated. Has he bothered to come & look? No. How am I supposed to do business as usual? Especially while sobbing. 5/
I found the perfect property to move my bookstore to. Despite my ⭐⭐⭐⭐ credit & every cent I have in the bank my loan was turned down. I am devastated that at 63 years old I don't have 115K. Why? My husband & I have been thru A LOT. Maybe God is just saying no. 6/
I was doing a GoFundMe to get me through until January at the Market. But now my only way out & to continue #TheBookstore is to raise it to 115K. I offered the realtor a rent to buy option but the seller wants to understandedly just sell. Time is of the essence.
7/
I want to thank ALL OF YOU again who have so generously donated to my campaign. I haven't had any income & at least I could make my car payment. THANK YOU! If anyone can help me get this property it would be a Godsend. If not then I must believe THY WILL BE DONE.
8/
BTW. This is what termites look like eating my filet mignon of books.
And here are bags & bags & hundreds of dollars of virtually irreplaceable inventory filled with termite filled books.
I have loved my bookstore. I've loved my customers (MOST of them) & I paid 8K in good faith to end up in this monstrous dilemma. I need help now or never. I promise to pay it forward 10 times over. I need 115K. I am the real deal. Look me up on SunBiz. The Bookstore LLC.
Hello all of you government officials who have been "trying" to help us struggling Floridian seniors in need! None of it is working. Your right hands are apparently not communicating with left hands! Please read @GovRonDeSantis @CaseyDeSantis @JeremyRedfernFL! This is a 🧵
1/
@GovRonDeSantis @CaseyDeSantis @JeremyRedfernFL This is a 🧵 cause @SubstackInc is throttled on here cause ask @elonmusk. X is my main source of getting out info so I am attempting to update y'all right here. WE NEED HELP. I 1st reached out to Sumter County who referred me to HUD Rural Development. Oh great. The Feds!
2/
@GovRonDeSantis @CaseyDeSantis @JeremyRedfernFL @SubstackInc @elonmusk FYI. HUD never returns calls. Sumter County sent me an application for them but it was like trying to figure out a tax return. I questions. I got no answers. In the meantime Jeremy tried to help cause Casey had started Hope Florida for folks like us! They're very nice!
3/
I have NO idea what to do anymore. We need repairs. We can no longer keep up our home. My 76 YO husband is not well. We have NO WHERE to go. It's all on my shoulders & a weight I cannot bear. Hope Florida is NOT working @JeremyRedfernFL @GovRonDeSantis.
cc: @Habitat_org 1/
HUD Rural Development, the feds, won't even return my phone calls OR the phone calls from Hope Florida. The feds just don't care. Does anyone? We are seniors in need of help. All of these "organizations" purporting to help seniors do not. Where does all the money go?
2/
Well. It certainly doesn't go to us! Maybe it goes to Ukraine! This is a nightmare I never thought I would live long enough to experience but here we are. That's why I humbly & finally set up a GiveSendGo. We have lived long lives and need help. 3/ givesendgo.com/SeniorsNeedHelp
I do not know why it easier for me to write a thread on X (X?) rather than write a Substack. Maybe it's because a thread is right in your face & you don't have to click on my Substack links & go through all of that hullabaloo where I beg you to subscribe & pray for $.
🧵
1/
I actually have FOUR Substacks going on & soon to be FIVE. Why? Here are the FOUR. Please subscribe to at least one. They are free. I am dumb & don't put up a paywall. 🙃
Meanwhile...I really need a paywall. Or at the very least way more compelling Substacks. I want to write about what a wuss I have become. Is that compelling? A hurricane arrives tonight & I have prepared nothing for its dinner & that is why I think it will be angry at me.

Dear @RepWebster:
We are seniors who live in Sumter County. You are our representative. We NEED HELP. Our house is literally falling apart & we can't even afford to mow our 3 acre field anymore let along fill up our cars or buy groceries. Bidenomics is NOT working.
1/
We "were" managing before our current administration took over. Not anymore. It is unsustainable. Our home needs siding. What is this? It says to contact our local rep. That is you. It also says these grants are "scarce" right now. Of course they are! 2/
Foreign countries are now more important to our government than US citizens. We live rural & there are actual shacks nearby that probably should be condemned interspersed by gorgeous homes. It's crazy! We can't even sell our home to move anywhere else.
3/
Open letter to @RealRLimbaugh:
We listen every day, miss you when you're out and pray for your recovery. I hope you will read my thoughts on what I fear is going to happen to our country under a Biden Administration. Has anyone written similar thoughts?
1/
I believe the ramifications of a Biden Administration will be so disastrous we will never recover. The radical left have perfected their tactics and infiltrated our government everywhere you turn.
2/
They have deemed themselves immune from the rule of law, the media is the wind beneath their wings and, shockingly, no one seems capable of doing a damn thing about it. They are held accountable for nothing. They are ruthless, hateful and unforgiving.

@dbongino This is a great article by @johnhawkinsrwn as well as yours from back in July. I have many thoughts on this question but my bottom line answer is YES. Half of our country no longer loves are country. Half of our country won't fight to save our country.
1/
@dbongino@johnhawkinsrwn In fact, half our country HATES our country. Those 3 true statements alone clearly show that we no longer have a united country. Half of our country has already seceded.
THIS election is not a matter of whether the Democrats today are the same as the JFK Democrats.
2/
@dbongino@johnhawkinsrwn THIS election proves it. JFK was unique because *he knew.* @realDonaldTrump is unique because "he knows.* There is no going back. The swamp has been clearly exposed to anyone who seeks the truth.
