Facts, context, and the occasional checks notes. Calling out hypocrisy, spotlighting real-world impact. Grounded, informed, and not here for empty slogans.

Here for clarity, not clickbait. I post fact-based political commentary, call out hypocrisy, and focus on real-world impact. Expect occasional dry humor, but mostly reality checks, context, and process over performance. If you want facts over slogans, you’re welcome to follow me.

If antifa was a real organization, they would’ve contacted me at least 10 times by now asking for donations

I'm going to get some more security cameras and I love that @ubiquiti.bsky.social is transparent about the #tariff - More companies need to show this. They have elected to bear a portion of the increased cost to relieve the burden on customers.

How are people going to get into the workforce and get private healthcare when no one‘s hiring? They act like the economy is roaring alive right now and it’s just simply not the truth. Otherwise they wouldn’t have fired people for given us correct job numbers data.

10–15 are truly “large companies” or groups directly representing the largest industries in America.
Another 20–30 are mid-sized trade associations with niche but sometimes powerful influence (agriculture, aviation, housing, energy). The majority are political nonprofits, chambers, or advocacy group

I’m absolutely shocked I tell you. Never in 1000 years have we seen something like this ever happen /s

many farming communities strongly supported policies that, ironically, hurt them.

-Immigration crackdowns shrink the pool of seasonal labor they rely on.
-Cuts to SNAP reduce a guaranteed buyer of surplus food.
-Tariffs triggered retaliation that hurt U.S. exports.

The bailout is only because they need the farmers vote. The small family farms will get a fraction of this money. The large corporate farms were ran in tons of cash from those. The large corporate farms also have lobbyist in their corner because they can afford to pay for them.
