LOL -- Trump is now claiming he's about to secure 21 TRILLION DOLLARS of investments so far in his second term. His fake number keeps going up and up almost daily, and the entire US GDP is $30 trillion, so yeah, he's full of it.

After the Pentagon forced a mass exit of journalists who understood military finance, tactics and technology, their replacements have arrived: cranks, conspiracy theorists and both foreign and domestic propagandists

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

What’s up with the rising price for a head of iceberg lettuce at Harris Teeter during the past three months?

$1.99 (August)
$2.19 (September)
2 for $5.00 (October)

Since Kroger got busted for price gouging, perhaps they’re trying it again a different way.

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

- former First Lady Betty Ford

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

Know the difference between a Judicial Warrant and an Immigration (administrative) Warrant.

Administrative warrants don’t allow agents to enter private homes. Only judicial warrants, signed by a judge, grant law enforcement the authority to do so.

Do not volunteer additional information.

Good Friyay, y'all!!

Idk about all of you, but I was slightly shocked to hear the Bleach Demon tell a singular truth finally.

"His main concern is the ballroom"

He is robbing us, to pay for his gaudy gold ballroom, and everything else in his tacky life.

Have a day and stay safe!
