I’m baaaaaack, and I’ve been checking out some of your grievances on X - it’s a good thing @elonmusk let free speech back on here. Some of you would definitely have been banned before. Some of you probably should lay off the eggnog before posting. Speaking of @elonmusk - I am working on a list of people I would like to make sure you send on one of the first flights to Mars. Let’s chat soon.

I am BACK, and I’m ready to air more grievances against government waste, Congress, Fauci, endless wars, foreign aid, and many, many others. I have no grievances with @POTUS, zero, none, nada, zilch. Mr. President, I wish you a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and a successful third term.

Happy Festivus! I’ve got a lot of problems with you people. It’s hard to decide where to start these grievances. Washington is more of a mess than ever, and the swamp is not drained, so here we go.

🧵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.

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?

🧵🚨 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.

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.

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.

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.

🧵 1/4

Tonight the Senate was given the chance to vote on amendments to help fix a slew of unconstitutional provisions to RISAA, the fake FISA reform bill and truly reform other government spying practices as well. 🧵 2/4

My 1st amendment included my bipartisan 4th Amendment is Not for Sale Act (already passed by the House). It would have ended the government’s practice of buying its way around the Bill of Rights by purchasing Americans’ personal data.

Defeated 31-61

Congress voted for a so-called reform of the US Postal Service in 2021 (I voted no!).  The results:  the annual Postal Debt — $4 billion per year BEFORE the reform,  now -- $6.3 billion per year. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/294525… 📭🧵2/5
Amidst declining mail volume and vast increases in annual debt, the geniuses at the Postal Service hired 125,000 new employees.

1. Ukraine Aid with No Strings Attached: This bill funnels $7.85 billion taxpayer dollars for the lavish salaries of Ukrainian bureaucrats in addition to $60 billion more to fund their war. AND this is all on top of the previous $113 billion Congress doled out to the corrupt regime. 2. Border "Security": In this massive spending bill of $118 billion, the Swamp allocated almost 6x as much to OTHER countries than to our own border. Congress, as usual, is trying to send billions to secure other countries, while our own border crisis is a complete afterthought.

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.

Everyone knows the old joke about detecting when a certain person is lying...Just check to see if their lips are moving. In Anthony Fauci, a better test is simply to compare what he says privately away from the cameras with his public pronouncements, as his private words frequently directly contradict the many lies he tells in public.

I’m back with more #Festivus joy! Shall we? Years of massive spending finally caught up to us, and inflation and recession are still here.

I'M BACK for more #airingofgrievances, exposing waste, and generally pissing people off online. I would like to personally thank @elonmusk for buying this platform and allowing us all to say Happy #Festivus again. I mean, we could always say it. No one actually ever stopped us from saying it, but whatever.

To allow the FBI to meet with the media to discuss the content of the news without question chills free speech. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Read the testimony of a former Facebook executive: “You can’t have a casual chat with an FBI agent when you’re an executive at a company. It’s not safe. You end up with a $3,000-an-hour row of [lawyers] sitting next to you...”

Ben Hu, patient zero, the first person in the world to become infected with COVID-19 worked at the Wuhan Institute for Virology and Tony Fauci’s NIH paid for this dangerous gain of function research.

"Sources within the US government say that three of the earliest people to become infected with SARS-CoV-2 were Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu. All were members of the Wuhan lab suspected to have leaked the pandemic virus." "Had the information come out earlier, governments may have responded to the pandemic differently. After Public shared the information with Chan, she said, “I feel vindicated, but I’m frustrated."
