I’ve been watching the GOP Primary closely for a while now, and I like various aspects of several candidates - Republicans like President @realDonaldTrump, Governor @RonDeSantis, and @VivekGRamaswamy.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy I’m interested in the ideas of some independents too, such as @RobertKennedyJr.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr As I look over the field, I don’t think I yet have a first choice, but I do know one thing: count me in as #NeverNikki!
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr Based on her record and campaign, I don’t see how any thoughtful or informed libertarian or conservative should vote for @NikkiHaley. If you agree, let your voice be heard.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley Go to today so we can let her and everyone else know she doesn’t have your support. If you’re unsure, keep reading and following.nevernikki.net
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley .@NikkiHaley supports Biden and McConnell and the forever-war crowd on funding for the war in Ukraine.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley Her thirst for war is so strong she actually said: "I'm sick of talking about a Department of Defense. I want a Department of Offense." #NeverNikki
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley She even personally received millions of dollars from the arms merchants who benefit from the war, a conflict of interest that undergirds her eagerness for foreign military intervention.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley This position isn’t new either - as governor of South Carolina she gave tax dollars to those same arms merchants, and they showered her with campaign contributions and a seat on their board when she left office. ➡️ Nevernikki.net
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley While most others were decrying the mistakes of the past 20 years, and fighting for an America First foreign policy, @NikkiHaley was aligning herself with and declaring her foreign policy allies to be John McCain and Lindsey Graham.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley .@NikkiHaley believes in nearly unlimited foreign aid — we have sent over $100 BILLION we don’t have to Ukraine already and she wants more. But this also isn’t new.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley In her book With All Due Respect, she wrote “Humanitarian Assistance will always be a priority for the United States, we will always be generous.”
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley But @NikkiHaley’s “generosity” with your tax dollars and her support for all foreign aid in the context of a $34 TRILLION dollar debt is in no way libertarian or conservative. Nevernikki.net
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley Beyond the issues of endless wars, @NikkiHaley’s lack of respect for freedom of speech is shocking to anyone who believes in the constitution.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley .@NikkiHaley believes that all internet posters should be registered and verified. This flies in the face of a free American Republic whose founders wrote anonymously the Federalist Papers and routinely posted newspaper articles and pamphlets under Pseudonyms.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley Anyone who doesn’t fully believe in free speech or who wants endless wars has no business anywhere near the White House. Go to to show you agree!nevernikki.net
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley But wait, there’s more.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley .@NikkiHaley routinely praised the mission of the United Nations, the results they achieved, and the people who ran it.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley First up, her quote “I believe the U.N. does valuable work.” By that she means your tax dollars since the US is the primary funder of UN.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley She repeatedly praised the U.N. Secretary General (former president of Socialist International) and declared that they “think alike."
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley Did I mention that I am #NeverNikki? ➡️ nevernikki.net
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley .@NikkiHaley disagreed with President Trump’s decision to pull U.S. troops out of Syria and Afghanistan and defended continued U.S. presence in both places.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley If you want to move quickly to domestic policy, in South Carolina, @NikkiHaley advocated for a gas tax hike, a state-run vaccine registry and never lifted a finger for school choice.
@realDonaldTrump @RonDeSantis @VivekGRamaswamy @RobertKennedyJr @NikkiHaley I am #NeverNikki and I hope you will be too. ➡️ nevernikki.net

🧵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.

cnbc.com/2021/06/09/fau…
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.

🧵🚨 1/6

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.
🧵3/6

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!

I’m back again!
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.

It's that time of year again. Happy Festivus! I've got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it.
It’s hard to decide where to start these grievances. Every year, I think, there can’t be THAT many more can there?

But when you’re surrounded by people in Congress every day, it’s not a problem at all.
Can you imagine deciding who you’ll be mad at on any given day? It’s almost impossible. Image
