While Elon Musk’s companies pay zero in federal taxes
Immigrants usually pay about $59 billion per year-plus another $37 billion in state and local taxes
Yet the US government subsidizes Musk
While hunting down, imprisoning and-ultimately-deporting immigrants
It’s not only cruel
It’s senseless

🔥 WATCH: “TEACHERS ARE NOT IGNORANT. THEY ARE OFFENDED.”
A Knox Schools board member rips @GovBillLee for trying to bribe teachers with $2,000 each to get his private school voucher scam passed — even when the state’s own data shows they don’t work.
Pretty gross, Guv.

“Well done, my good and faithful servant”… are the first words that came to my mind when hearing of the passing of President Carter. He & his bride committed their lives to service in the most selfless way.
Let us all honor his legacy by doing our part to serve our country & our community.
