I'm just amazed by her. I'm a 51 year old retired Army Vet who has been all around the world and the best I can do is cuss in five different languages. This woman came from absolutely nothing and sits here telling her story in PERFECT English. She is an inspiration to all and is someone every American should strive to be like. Why be like her? The sheer resilience of her indomitable soul is proof enough. Thank you Ma'am.
Gives me goose bumps.
Victim hood culture in this country is gross
God bless this woman. Stand up to communism. Stop trying to embrace you sworn enemy. F china, f North Korea.
Your ONE of the best countries not the only one!
The ways humans organize themselves to get things done is not the cancer of capitalism. Both communism and socialism have built America and are endemic in American government and present in many ways all around you right now. Define communism and list five examples in American history where communism built canals, railroads, interstate highway systems . . .
Thankyou
Every form of government has its problems. Democracy always neglects minorities. Therefore it might not be the best option for every country.
Even a dictatorship might be able to work out, if the ruler had some common sense and is an overall righteous and moral person, who doesn't let himself get corrupted by outside forces.
As Yeonmi Park mentioned, it isn't democracy, which is the ruling force, it is capitalism nowadays. Whoever has the most money and has the biggest campaign wins. Do you honestly think Trump would have won, if he didn't hold his super expensive campaigns, which gave him a place to speak?
Who will listen to a man on the street?
We live in a world where taking advantage of one another is a given and people exploiting each other for more profit. The problem of inequality exists. But I don't think communism is the answer to the problem.
Paragraph 1 of 4 US Government Has
BorrowedStolen Trillions From Social Security Trust Fund February 21, 2023. This news article is from Fox News. Remember the debt ceiling situation in the summer of 2011? Remember when President Obama said that the government may not have the money to send out social security checks if the debt ceiling wasn't raised? Here was his exact quote: "If we default, we would not have enough money to pay all of our bills — bills that include monthly Social Security checks, veterans' benefits and the government contracts we've signed with thousands of businesses." Many people didn't really understand this quote – after all, doesn't the Social Security trust fund have TRILLIONS of dollars in it? Even if the US defaulted on its debt, couldn't the Social Security trust fund just ship out checks using the trillions of dollars that are surely safely nestled away in some account?Wow what a brave, smart person
Paragraph 2 of 4 Let me hit you with this line that contained in the 2012 Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees report: "Federal law requires that all excess funds be invested in interest-bearing securities backed by the full faith and credit of the United States." For Social Security, the OASI (Old-Age and Survivors Insurance) and Disability Insurance (DI) trust funds currently list trillions of dollars of assets. Here is the breakdown: End of 2011 Assets: OASI – $2.5241 trillion DI – $153.9 billion
Paragraph 3 of 4 However, instead of cash, these two trust funds have IOUs from the US government. All of those assets are held in "special non-marketable securities of the US Government". So, the US government borrows from the OASI, DI and many others to finance its deficit spending. As a matter of fact, as of this second, the US government currently has "intragovernmental holdings" of $4.776 trillion. "Intragovernmental holdings" is money that the government owes to programs such as OASI, DI and many others. This is money that will have to be repaid down the line.
Paragraph 4 of 4 So – how much does the US government owe the Social Security Trust Fund? Let's look to the most recent "Monthly Statement of the Public Debt of the United States" (courtesy of TreasuryDirect dot gov, *.pdf) to get the answer. On Page 9, we see that the outstanding amount of Treasury Securities to OASI and DI are currently: OASI – $2,596,371,000,000 DI – $139,145,000,000 So, that's almost $2.6 trillion for the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance trust fund, plus an additional $140 billion or so for the Disability Insurance trust fund. Ouch. Source: SSAdotgov – Status of the Social Security and Medicare Programs
If you you want a safe space at University or College, enroll for a place in a Kindergarten. Learn form the a well known person. University is not a safe plce. "If you want a safe place go home , suck your thumb, hug your teddy, until you are ready for university." many students don't know the philosophical purpose of a university. We have too many infantile minded tertiary students and too many infantile graduates that refuse to think beyond their degrees.
Paragraph 1 of 3 What Happened to the $2.6 Trillion Social Security Trust Fund July 13, 2011. This news article is from Forbes. Social Security status-quo defenders have assured us for the past 25 years that Social Security is fully funded—for the next 25 years, or 2036. So if there are real assets in the Social Security Trust Fund—$2.6 trillion allegedly—then how could failure to reach a debt-ceiling agreement possibly threaten seniors’ Social Security checks?
The answer is that the federal government has borrowed all of that trust fund money and spent it, exactly as Krauthammer asserted. And the only way the trust fund can get some cash to pay Social Security benefits is if the federal government draws it from general revenues or borrows the money—which, of course, it can’t do because of the debt ceiling.
Paragraph 2 of 3 Thus, the answer to my initial question is that the president is telling the truth now in the sense that he is conceding there’s no money in the trust fund to pay benefits; but he and other Social Security status-quo defenders have been deceiving the public for decades. And here’s the real irony: Anytime someone has proposed personal Social Security retirement accounts as a way to ensure that people have real assets in their own account without bankrupting the government or future generations, defenders of the status quo would pounce, calling such a reform, in Al Gore’s words, a “risky scheme.” They have vociferously claimed that those trust fund assets are real and that only by having the government manage and control the accounts would seniors be guaranteed to get their retirement checks.
Paragraph 3 of 3 Well, we have the status quo and seniors may not get their checks. Had we shifted to a system of pre-funded, personal Social Security retirement accounts years ago, this wouldn’t even be an issue—because retirees would have their own money in their own accounts. Yes, the accounts likely would have declined when the stock market went down, though not if the reform were structured like three Texas counties did 30 years ago (see here). But in case you haven’t noticed, Social Security revenues also declined during the economic downturn—because fewer people were working—so that the government is paying out more in benefits than it is taking in, and hence needing additional federal revenues, a fact admitted by Lew. If the budget crisis has done nothing else, it has exposed the decades-long lie about the solvency of the Social Security trust fund. The trust fund may be backed by the “full faith and credit of the federal government,” as defenders constantly remind us, but if it had real assets the president wouldn’t be talking about seniors missing their checks.

All Levels of education need to follow global standards and the woke activists and groomers need to be weeded out of it!! Their woke ideology and woke feminist trash has virtually destroyed our entertainment, education systems, our cultures and our society in general in around a decade!!
That's funny, I just commented similarly on a Veritas video on learning 🤔🙂 I was theorizing in how+why all the sensitivities in today's schools are frustrating learning. Along with a lack of education on the importance of freedom+independence.
Cause U.S university are run by Marxism 🙄
Please report on the Dominion lawsuit that you are facing. I read that the internal emails by Tucker, Hannity and Ingram did not believe Trump's claim of election fraud but they went on the air and lied. Will that hurt the lawsuit and how will you settle now? Billions?
That great story
The Heavies! 🏋️♂️🏋️♂️
Yenomi thank you am so glad ypu ate here to expose the evils of socalism and communism. I agree American liberals hate slavery they say but half the lefties uh isn't countries on vacation and don't see they are funding slavery when they go on trips there.
LIAR. SHE SAID SHE WAS SOLD FOR $20. In the interview I just watched she said she was sold for $200, and made up another story.
She is right she knows communism and America is headed down that path.
Absolutely true. Bless this lady for her support for America in these very difficult times.
I almost agree with you and the young lady but is the 2nd best country in the world. Second to Australia
