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!

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/ Image 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?

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. 🙃

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!

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.

@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.

@willchamberlain I understand what you're saying but this election is too crucial to not fight until our very last breath. THIS fight is for #AmericaFirst. A loss will doom us to forever be America last. Globalists have too much power & are right now salivating like rabid dogs.
1/
@willchamberlain As an aging boomer I've been thru many elections & it never seemed to matter who won because both parties were holding hands. Aside from JFK who spoke out & was assassinated & Reagan who won 2 terms. Both of them were unique individuals. Trump is the most unique of all.

@JackPosobiec It l👀ks like it's time for our own country.

MAGAmerica. @JackPosobiec Wouldn't that be nice? A country that is truly united in a common goal called #MAGAmericaFirst.

THREAD:
My thoughts on the voting process. Absolutely voting in person comes first but for those who cry voter suppression here is MY solution. The SSA has a SECURE website. Right? The IRS has a SECURE website. Right? The ELECTION could have a SECURE website. WHY NOT?
1/
It should be connected to @SocialSecurity's national database and then divided by States & Voting Precincts. ONE SS# ONE VOTE. You sign in securely with YOUR SS#, click on YOUR voting precinct and SECURELY vote online. This would also serve as a Voter ID.

@AriFleischer @realDonaldTrump I also saw no crime committed and I am willing to testify.

In fact! I didn't even overhear about a crime being committed and nobody ever told me about overhearing a crime being committed either.

So why haven't I been subpoenaed? @AriFleischer @realDonaldTrump Please advise if you would like to hear my statement and I will respond by written answers only. My testimony is as valuable as what's been going on during these impeachment hearings. It's worth NOTHING.

I'm 63 & just lost #TheBookstore I solely owned & operated for over 6 years. I had 1000s of customers. The fire happened 3 weeks ago. I am still reeling. No living person was there. But a billion words & a billion thoughts were. Over 15,000 books.
1/
I truly was A Keeper of the Books. I greeted them all each morning. Hello Mr. Hemmingway! Hi there @debbiemacomber! Good day @LeeChildReacher! Mr. @nelsondemille, my LI friend! Oscar Wilde, @JohnGrisham @BillOReilly, @MaxLucado & even @marwilliamson! I loved ALL of you!

I sit here in FL in a frozen mental state not knowing where to turn or which way to go & realize #TheBookstore & I are a lot like Dorian. Will we move onward & upward or remain stationary in a debilitating limbo for 90 more days? Please read my story.
gofundme.com/keeper-of-the-… The good news is the market is amenable regarding the rent. The bad news is that due to the termite infestation (which DID NOT originate in #TheBookstore) I have been unable to do any business for 2 months.

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.

Folks! The USA is fighting for its survival. MEANWHILE, us little guys are fighting for our survival too. I purchased #TheBookstore 6 years ago & everyone said I couldn't do it by myself. But I did! I am the ultimate multi-tasker. My customers ❤ my bookstore & so do I.
1/
The market keeps raising & raising the rent. Vendors keep leaving & leaving. Ergo, fewer & fewer customers are coming. $1400 a month for 3 days of biz a week? PLEASE help me.

I am so emotional right now after walking through this property I could move my bookstore to. It is mint. It is PERFECT. WaWa just opened on the corner so you KNOW it's a great spot. I could move everything right in. PLEASE read this thread.
@JackPosobiec
@pulte This spot costs 115K. Consider that I paid the market 105K in rent in CASH over the past 6 years. I don't need #GoFundMe. I need a GoLendMe! If 5 people could lend me 23K I will pay you all back. Getting a mortgage is hard. SBA could take 3 months. Time is of the essence.

Folks. I need help. My husband, as registered agent of The Bookstore, met with the manager of the Market about a month ago on my behalf. The manager said give me a proposal! This letter was hand delivered on June 30th & no one has bothered to respond to me.
1/ I bought The Bookstore in good faith & was required to pay the Market a $2000 transfer fee. I attached my numbers for the 6 years I've been there. My rent has gone up over $400 a month since purchasing this store. I have no legal recourse nor can afford a lawyer if I did.

This GoFundMe thing isn't working out as I hoped. I almost feel if I did a GoFundMe for a 30K pool for my & my husband's physical therapy it would do better. I don't want donations for a pool. I just want to save my bookstore. Please read my story.
gofundme.com/f/keeper-of-th… This is #TheBookstore's last stand. I help my community. I need the money to keep me going until I can negotiate with the market, encourage my loyal customers to help and SAVE THE BOOKS. Alternatives to help are buying my eBay listings, giving me ADVICE, and visiting my store.

@alx @willchamberlain I've been giving this subject way too much thought because who listens to me? But here's the deal.

Social media companies are IN THE BUSINESS of social media. Thoughts, opinions, ideas, sharing news, stories, memes & all of the above. That's their BUSINESS.

1/
@alx @willchamberlain If social discourse is their BUSINESS how are they NOT beholden to the 1st Amendment?

Social media companies are the new Ma Bell. You call someone on your princess phone & you can say whatever you want. (WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS)

The only difference is the technology.

@RepMattGaetz @RepJerryNadler Excuse me @RepJerryNadler. @mattgaetz is MY representative in FL. Matt is MY voice in the PEOPLE'S House of Representatives. Your shutting his voice down also shut MY VOICE down. You're an absolute disgrace. Resign for incompetence. Where is my voice @realDonaldTrump? @RepMattGaetz @RepJerryNadler @mattgaetz @realDonaldTrump Mr. President. This was an egregious stifling of the people's voice by Rep. Nadler & needs to be swiftly addressed. Nadler is implementing Third World tactics in OUR HOUSE in outright disdain for our Constitution. Do we have a Constitution or not?

This is TRUE but do you want to know why? I had a great IRA but due to Obama's poor economy I couldn't get a good paying job DESPITE being well qualified. I lost my great job as a legal secretary but I wasn't " fathered in" for the family leave act as a caregiver for my dad.
1/ I'll tell you WHY, Bloomberg. Not only was I unable to take advantage of the Family Care Act, after losing my job I was FORCED OUT OF NYS because of extortionistic TAXES. My property taxes were more than my mortgage! I couldn't get back on my feet. NO JOBS on Long Island.

It's a NATIONAL EMERGENCY, Senator. We need to #BuildTheWall NOW. It is frightening that you would allow the outright invasion of our country to continue. Listen. A country without borders IS NOT A COUNTRY. How can you possibly risk the sovereignty of our great country over PRINCIPLES? We are being INVADED, Senator. By crime, drugs & disease all on the backs of every hardworking LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZEN.
