We are at a moment of truth and a crossroads. Will we allow these people to use fear and propaganda to do further harm to our society, economy, and children?
Or will we stand together and say, absolutely not. Not this time. I choose freedom.

🧵Many of us were called “conspiracy theorists” for questioning whether or not COVID-19 started because of a lab leak. After all, Anthony Fauci and the NIH had been funding dangerous gain-of-function research.
And because the far Left’s golden child, Dr. Fauci, said we weren’t “following the science,” the mainstream media parroted his talking points and ran with it. forbes.com/sites/startswi…
But don’t forget: Anthony Fauci admitted he *knew* there could be something as serious as a lab leak, but he thought the benefits outweighed the risk of a potential pandemic. Boy, was he wrong…
We can cut the proposed border funding in half, from $150 billion to $75 billion, and still secure our border and protect the American people.
Let me give you an example of how this is excessive.
Let’s take the proposed border wall.
Proposed fence cost: $46.5 billion
Actual fence cost: $6.5 billion
How did I come up with that number? Math based on costs, according to Border Patrol.
$6.5 million per mile x 1,000 miles of border wall = $6.5 billion
Where is that extra $40 billion going?
I’m all for hiring new people to help secure our borders, but we don’t need it to the extent that’s in this bill, especially when our border is largely contained.
We have to remember that every person we hire comes with added costs: health care benefits, pension benefits, the list goes on.
You would think that the revelations concerning the State Dept. paying for Trans operas, comic books, and such would shame Congress into reducing foreign aid...
🧵2/6
But watch your Congress person closely. In a matter of days, Congress will vote to continue foreign aid at current levels for another year. What an insult to the American taxpayer.

In case, you’ve forgotten what lunacy is being funded by foreign aid, here is a reminder:
$14M for cash vouchers for illegal migrants
$55K for a climate change presentation by female & LGBT journalists IN ARGENTINA!
One of the things I love to hate about Washington is that they look at challenges the same way every time, despite the evidence that their last plan didn’t work.
Need to fix our budget? Don’t worry, they will spend MORE ...
I'm BACK. I'm not as back as the Trump folks; they're SO back. I'm just back.
What are some of your Festivus traditions? Tell us in the replies! I tried to get feats of strength on the Senate floor as a tradition, but since everyone else is over 80, there weren't many takers.
Quick, who has the higher average age, the Senate or the top touring musical acts of 2024? They have Jagger, Richards, Springsteen, and Dylan, but we have Grassley. It's a tough call.
