Abdul’s Medicare For All plan really means healthcare for no one. Our neighbors to the north are suffering under the same government-rationed healthcare system Abdul wants to bring to the US. We have to stop him.

Great idea comrade. Everyone will enjoy waiting 6+ months for a simple medical appointment. Even your own wife owns a practice that does NOT accept Medicare nor Medicaid

El-Sayed will say whatever he believes the group he's addressing at the moment wants to hear. If he has any actual beliefs or positions he keeps them hidden. He's an absolute fraud.

Truly Inclusive': Abdul El-Sayed said Medicare for All should cover illegal aliens seeking sex-change surgeries Two unearthed clips show how far El-Sayed's government-run health system would go Is this what Americans want their tax dollars spent on?

Perhaps they are concerned about wait times, waste, fraud, and inefficiencies? Canada's publicly funded health system continues to grapple with historic delays, with the median wait time reaching 28.6 weeks in 2025 from initial GP referral to actual treatment.

When JFK ran, he unequivocally would have said “Hamas, ISIS, and Hezballah are evil and need to be annihilated” “Israel has a right to exist” “I do NOT have Egyptian duel citizenship “ “Iran is a bigger threat to the US than Israel” All of the above are statements Abdul REFUSES to make.

Unfortunately “first Q of *net* positive in five years” is a pretty hollow stat. Not sure it qualifies as a positive indicator, if all other quarters have been *net* negative. Five years of office workers being moved out of downtown is going to be brutal for revenue

Abdul El-Sayed wants Medicare for All, and MI autoworkers are realizing it would wipe out the health care they fought decades for. UAW workers have some of the best health insurance in the country. Now a socialist wants to take it.

Chicago is battling a severe financial crisis, with the City of Chicago facing an $882.4 million budget deficit projected for 2027 and ongoing multi-billion dollar debt pressures Chicago is on the verge of a credit downgrade. Perhaps it’s time for new leadership and new policies.

Barack Obama’s Ivanpah Solar Electric Power Plant has officially failed and will begin shutting gone operations early 2026 - $1.6 BILLION in federal loans - $535 MILLION grant - $600 MILLION tax credit - MASSIVE investor write-offs A SCAM paid for by US Taxpayers for NOTHING

This morning, Abdul El-Sayed was asked about his family’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. And he denied it — an outright lie. The truth is, Abdul and his family have surrounded themselves with some of the most heinous organizations and anti-American actors in history.

Thanks for your reply. A few more hours have passed - and neither you, nor Abdul, nor Hasan Piker, have unequivocally stated you do NOT support Hamas, Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda and their policies of terror and murder?

If you refuse to condemn terrorist organizations who openly chant “Death to America” you have no place in American government. This is common sense.

So you, and Abdul, support Hamas, Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda? I will go on the record - I emphatically do NOT support these terrorist, cowardly, barbaric and murderous organizations. See? It’s not hard to take a clear stance. Also: I do NOT think Israel is a greater risk to the US than Iran. Abdul?

The entire CNN panel was left stunned on-air after Abdul El-Sayed refused to condemn terrorist groups on the debate stage. How hard is it to say Hamas, Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda are bad? They can no longer defend this. Brutal.

You forgot to mention the terrorist is a Somali Muslim extremist. Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, 18, said he planned to kiII 30 to 60 NON-MUSLIMS in the ISIS-inspired attacked Perhaps he spent time at the Learing center. Or perhaps he was involved in the recent gang shootings.

“The darkness” that fell on Israel on October 7, 2023? Why are you afraid to use factually correct adjectives such as murder, kidnapping, torture and rape? These are the actions Hamas took on innocent Israel civilians. Children, teenagers, grandparents, mothers included.

I appreciate that the Seattle Times (which got an interview with the KCRHA's former records officer, who wouldn't talk to me) is bringing more light to this story. But I did report that Kinnison was allegedly withholding records from this records officer in July. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

US Senate Candidate Abdul El Sayed @AbdulElSayed is having a fundraiser in New York City on October 5th with many of @ZohranKMamdani’s donors and supporters. The highest ticket price is $57,800. Abdul “Mr. money out of politics” keeps lying and saying he’s not a member of the DSA.

Which would you rather live next to: a) A cafe with a patio that opens after 7am and closes before 10pm quiet hours begin b) a small-to-medium arterial, with typical traffic including illegally modified exhausts and some light drag racing in the wee hours I know which I would prefer.

The City of Seattle is shutting down a cafe’s outdoor deck because the code says any outdoor dining must be 50’ away from a residential property due to noise concerns Funny, we shove all housing growth on the loudest roads our city has. I guess that noise is fine?

"But the handicapped need cars!" No, what they need are options in mobility. The tech exists to enable their freedom of independent mobility, but almost always what is lacking is the enabling infrastructure. Bike lanes and quality sidewalks serve everyone.

These responses are quite common because folks truly just don't understand the student debt crisis — which is part of the reason the movement needs stronger champions. They don't understand how much debt you have to take on to be a physician, lawyer or even teacher.

If anyone has a student loan balance that high - they have made major mistakes in their life decisions. This isn’t complicated. Attend an in-state school you can afford, get a degree with strong job options when you graduate (eg computers instead of gender studies), and work at the same time

When you die, please don't take your organs with you. They will be of NO use to you. Please sign the back of your driver's license and be an organ donor. This is the highest form of "charity" because the recipient can do nothing for you except be grateful for your selfless gift.
