Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[April 13, 2026]

America First = peace through strength.
With China leaning on Taiwan + Putin in Eastern Europe…we cannot afford weakness.
President Trump understands it—strength prevents war, and Iran cannot be allowed a nuclear weapon that threatens the U.S. or our allies. [….]

[….]

Some of the responses:

If only there was some sort of vetted group of Nations we could coordinate with specifically for the purpose of protecting North America and Europe. [….]

Listen to the Pope & quit offending our allies! This is not good Markie!

Before I sign on, how many civilizations would this entail? Asking for the world.

Curious as to what your Bible says about this 👇 Mark Alford
(image of Trump as Christ or a doctor)

So what kind of ” strength ” are we using against Putin, since you mentioned him?

Burying him in oil revenue? Just asking.

What do you make of Trump posting that he is Jesus?

So, Straight of Hormuz was open, now it’s closed by Iran elevating them to a world power, oil was under 100 dollars a barrel now it’s way over 100 dollars a barrel, and 13 American troops dead and unknown amount of wounded because the Trump administration doesn’t give us that information,a billion dollars per day cost to us taxpayers who STILL don’t have health care and increasing inflation, and Trump asking for 1.4 TRILLION for more WAR. and Trump is PROFITING FROM THE WAR. Trump also threatened nuclear war and to wipe Iran off the map. SOWHEN DO YOU START SUPPORTING MISSOURIANS INSTEAD OF TRUMP? Time for Trump to be impeached removed and jailed. If you can’t vote to impeach a clearly unfit president RESIGN NOW.

Does the President understand that he’s not God/Jesus & that he’s not going to build a Trump skyscraper on the moon? 🧐

Ready, fire, aim.

Peace is war …………..

President Trump is not fit.

and what is Trump going to do when Chinese tankers sail through the Strait of Hormuz?

We aren’t looking too strong right now

1. Blasphemy
(image of Trump as Christ or a doctor)

2. Orban pledged loyalty to Putin, then leaked EU/NATO intel to Russia.

3. Trump pledged campaign and financial support to Orban, then lifted sanctions on Russia.
[….]

Oh, is that why he allied with Orban who allied with Putin????

We have no allies.

Which allies?

Allies? 😂

#MagaTrash

Trump has put himself first and America LAST.

Dude… Stop drinking the kool-aid…

Read the room.
Start looking for a new job.

Iran should be no problem for our president considering He is the son of God.
[image of Trump as Christ or a doctor]

So, not a doctor, then?

Gee, how come Russia is still in parts of Ukraine? Could it be that the Orange Felon is a Russian asset?

Why is Trump helping Putin, then?

I was told the nuclear program was obliterated 6 months ago

PEACE we aren’t doing peace, he’s doing War, haven’t you heard

“Anything War can do, Peace can do better”

If you are correct, and “strength prevents war”, why are we currently at war?

Can’t we just have some PEACE period??? So much fighting with so many.

“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room.”

“…Survival kit contents check. In them you’ll find: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days’ concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings. Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff….”

This is a call to republicans in Congress to step up and do your constitutional duty. Rein in this president before he causes absolutely irreparable damage to our country, our military standing, and our leadership in the world.

President Trump understands the Shart of the Squeal!

China is winning big while Trump plays small-D chess and MAGA worries about “owning the libs”.
Trump’s tariffs brought China out of a terrible post-COVID economic crisis. They now have a LOT more clout in the Middle East, and they need that oil way more than we do. The dollar is on the decline, yuan on the rise.ost Americans have no idea how much this matters. We were once considered the pillar of world stability, that ship has sailed. As we lose our many global advantages, the crushing weight of our national debt may become critical as interest payments become the largest part of the national budget, larger than defense spending.
How are we going to pay to replace all the missiles, drones, planes, etc that we just wasted on Iran? Borrow more money? Because they won’t raise taxes. But who wants US bonds now? Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States!

With Turmp as our president we’ve never been more weak and less feared than now. Iran is making a joke of him, they are stronger now than before the war.

Strength hasn’t turned out to prevent wars in our case. Our strength gave our leaders less wisdom than they should have had. And, if this was an “America First” administration, why would we have spent 40+ billion dollars on an unnecessary war and abandoned healthcare and the needs of vulnerable US citizens?

Strength prevents war? Where does that place Trumpelstiltskin?

Gee, how come Russia is still in parts of Ukraine? Could it be that the Orange Felon is a Russian asset?

I was told the nuclear program was obliterated 6 months ago

If you are correct, and “strength prevents war”, why are we currently at war?

How is Missouri population currently doing with the high cost of everything?🤓

So why isn’t he helping Ukraine more and Taiwan and not screwing around in Venezuela and Iran

Peace? In case you haven’t noticed (being on vacation and all), we’re currently engaged in large scale Middle East military operations. The administration has referred to it as a war.

OMFG you used Trump’s invasion of Iran as a deterrent to *China’s desire to invade Taiwan* 😑

Yeah, Obama had that under control.
Without using violence or genocidal threats.

“‘Peace through strength’? I can’t stop laughing. If strength means yelling at allies, threatening the Pope & the genocide of a people on social media, and calling it foreign policy, that’s the new definition of ‘strength.’ No wonder China and Russia aren’t exactly shaking in their boots. All the world sees is Trump’s performative chest‑thumping.

Blah blah blah
The ship of state has a madman at the tiller

Trump is the weakness!!!!

Do you really believe what comes out of your mouth?

Where were all of these words when Ukraine needed our help? You have a different position based solely on the actions of Trump. Your next original thought will be your first.

What a sad, sad little man you are.

Congressman Mark Alford, too late you IDIOT! TACO has already shown his weakness, and you and the entire GOP have enabled him through your INACTIONS..
Besides, all Trump understands is GREED and CORUPTION…

We are weaker now more than anytime in modern history. You can not con educate people. This is just propaganda aimed at imbeciles.

OMG—please stop. This reads as deeply unserious.
You’re invoking “strength” while defending a man who posts absurd, disrespectful nonsense about religious figures and elevates spectacle over strategy. That’s not leadership—that’s instability masquerading as bravado.
If this is your standard for “understanding,” it explains a lot. Do better. Or step aside.

Trump thinks he is Jesus, but Obama and Biden are evil? Fake Christians.

I’m guessing you’re gonna go to war with your constituents?

More importantly are you going to vote on the bill that gives the defense department one and a half trillion more dollars which if you did vote Yes on it would undermine everything you were saying before about saving rural hospitals, helping support farmers, or anything that you said about helping rural Missouri. I bet I know which way you’re going to vote because you are a fucking boot licker you tiny spineless little man

What are you talking about? Trump is the best thing that ever happened to Vladimir Putin.
He gets to sell oil for full price, he’s been telling Trump for years to get out of NATO and Russia is helping Iran in their war with Israel and the US watching the United States Go bankrupt.
Trump will go down in history as the president that got the most US military bases, attacked and torn up in the shortest amount of time. The White House said they have helped. Israel win their war every day since it started.

Congressman Mark Alford you’re completely full of shit. Enjoy being on the wrong side of history. We’re voting you out.

You’re a nitwit.

But you destroyed their nuclear capabilities last fall…unless you were lying then.

Are You Really that Stupid? I Mean Really.

Dude, do you actually DO anything besides posting stupid shit on social media??

It didn’t go well.

Shipwreck ‪@shipwreck75.bsky.social‬

VP JD Vance says the Iranian regime refused to reach a deal during negotiations in Pakistan.

At the end of the press conference, the Vice President was asked what this means and if we are going back to war, he did not respond. Vice president’s press conference lasted under 4 min.

Ron Filipkowski ‪@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social‬

So killing their spiritual leader, bombing an elementary school, threatening to wipe out their civilization, referring to it as a Christian holy war, and sending Mr. Personality Vance to negotiate didn’t get things resolved?

9:07 PM · Apr 11, 2026

Judd Legum ‪@juddlegum.bsky.social‬

There is absolutely no justification for calling Vance anti-interventionalist. He supports the war in Iran. (And he supported all of Trump’s other foreign interventions.) As the chief negotiator, he has decided the best course is for the war in Iran to continue.

Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo]

On an impactful anniversary, no less:

Congressman Mark Alford
[April 9, 2026]

This Tax Season, Americans Are Keeping More of What They Earn — Thanks to House Republicans’ + President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts 💰
💡 REMINDER: Every single Democrat voted against this legislation.
[….]

Some of the biting:

Do you agree with Trump that keep our military strong we can’t afford to pay for Medicare, Medicaid, and childcare? In the meantime, how much was your tax cut compared to a family of four with an income of $70,000.

The no taxes on overtime is bullshit. I worked almost $28k in overtime last year and it was a deduction of a percentage of my overtime, which after the time and a half and double time came out to be an $8k deduction which my accountant said might have changed my tax return by $1600, 20% of $8k. But I fell in the higher tax bracket so my return was about $2k less than last year. I’ve worked 7-12’s and paid over $3,000 in taxes in one week. So it’s bullshit rhetoric to get common people on the hook to excuse billions in tax cuts for the richest Americans at the expense of society’s most vulnerable people.

To clarify: 1. Re: No tax on overtime, the taxpayer can only deduct (exclude) the overtime premium, (i.e. the extra 1/2 for time and 1/2 from income) and pays the full income tax on the rest of the hourly pay. For example $6,000 of overtime would result in deduction of $2,000 from income. Social Security and Medicare taxes would apply to the full amount of the overtime pay. The states for the most part have not excluded the overtime premium so all of it would be taxed by the states.
2. Re: No tax on Social Security for seniors, there is no exclusion of tax on Social Security. There is a larger standard deduction for seniors which may eliminate the tax for some taxpayers, but would not eliminate tax on Social Security if the taxpayer has a certain amount of income.

I beg to differ. For the first time since I started working at 15 as well as being married filing joint for the last 24 years we OWED both fed & state this year.

Interesting because I am on Social Security and when I did my taxes, our refund was lower and we took the standard deduction.

How popular do you think the automatic enlistment is going to be with your constituents Congressman Mark Alford ?

Paid more than ever this year

Not the middle class asswipe were paying for the billionaires.

If it’s a meme. It’s gotta be true.

How’s those prices at the gas pumps and grocery stores? How about your health care costs? Your piddly little tax refunds don’t even begin to cover the increase in costs purported by the Republicans and their convicted felon fraudster.

If you grifters want to generate revenue for the state, make a new tax code so the wealthy pay the same (or higher) percentage in taxes than the poor and middle class.

Meanwhile Americans can’t afford health insurance, groceries or utilities thanks to Mark and tacos illegal tariffs.

So Alford, what do you think trump and hegseth threatening the Pope?

I got back $11.00

How about being honest? The no tax on overtime is misleading. On the time and a half only the half part is no tax. No tax on tips is only up to $25,000. The bracket with the biggest returns is the highest bracket. Those in middle class and lower have to pay more taxes so the higher bracket can reap the reward. I can’t wait to see who runs against you and if you’ll debate.

If that’s the case why are so many of my clients complaining they aren’t getting any more back than usual?

Do you support impeachment removal and prosecutions for war crimes by Trump and Hegseth? Tuesday Trump threatened the entire world with a nuclear strike on Iran ” Wipeout their civilization “. Are You for war crimes? I’m not and I don’t know any Missourians who support another forever war.Btw Trump and his family are enriching themselves from this war that COSTS US TAXPAYERS A BILLION DOLLARS PER DAY! are you for that too? Because you should RESIGN TODAY if you can’t stop supporting Trump.

Where’s my DOGE & Tariff refund $$$ Mr. Alford?? !

It’s going into the gas tank bud.

Puppet 🖕

Never mind the $2000 tariff tax on everyone and $1 per gallon increase in gas and good luck if you lost your health insurance.

Didn’t help me at all

🚨INFLATION SURGES: U.S. inflation surged to 3.3% in March as the Iran war’s energy shock rippled through the economy, with prices jumping 0.9% — the biggest monthly spike since June 2022. Energy inflation rose +10.9% (largest since 2005), while gasoline prices jumped 21.2% in March — the biggest increase since records began in 1967. Gas is now up nearly 40% since late February.

Tariffs season and
Rising costs of fuel
SEASON

If your GREAT LEADER had not imposed tariffs and started a war Americans might actually be happy with these tax cuts. As it is they are getting further behind because rising prices are eating up anything that was gained.

Middle class, middle-aged singles got hit harder than ever. Only telling half the truth makes a statement a full lie.

Tax cuts got eaten up the last time I filled up my tank.

My refund was less, so there’s that…

So after April 15th what do you have for the American people?

The same geniuses who think Trump, who dodged the draft five times, knows how to win a war also think Trump, who declared
bankruptcy six times, knows how to run the economy.
That’s what Trump Derangement
Syndrome actually looks like.

Interesting how each of you posts a different percentage. Perhaps you could get together and agree on which number you’re going to go with so your lies are consistent.

Lick those boots!

Retired and paid more this year than ever before. I dont want to hear your garbage.

Why the fuck is gas $3.59, Mark?!

You are the village idiot! Everyone is laughing at you.

Nothing but a Trump repeater

No!!! you voted for tax cuts for the billionaires!!
And you voted for gutting healthcare from the poorest people in America so Trump could fund his Nazi ice agents to terrorize Americans.
The National archives are calling Mark!!!
They have the receipts

Lying POS. Like people in the 4th district are so stupid they won’t realize how horrible you are making their lives

No refund, I owe. Bunch of incompetent tv personalities in the Cabinet abusing their positions on the taxpayers dollar. Congress is a sad joke, 1.3% – 2% of enacted legislation to date. Kegsbreath Secretary of War Crimes stated the draft will start again in December. So much for the “peace president” and putting America First!

Not my working family . I hate that you of all people are trying to preach to me. I am so done with the Republican party. I think you are disgraceful and will soon find yourself in hell where you belong.

Why do you keep embarrassing yourself????
I made the same income, same deductions…and, OWED MORE!!!!
You lying sack of turds!!!
And, what’s your SOURCE on this??? You just put some numbers up there with an arrow pointing upward! WTF???
You’re just pulling shit out of your little ass!

Paid more! What other gaslighting do you have Congressman Mark Alford?

My refund went down. Someone who earns more than me must be pulling that average up. I guess I just understand how averages work better than the fools who keep voting for you.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end.
