Why do people buy pizza with EBT?
Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.
It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

If we can accept the murder of Charlie Kirk was between two young men holding different views, and not between Republicans and Democrats, Right or Left, we can simply let justice take it from here. Tyler acted alone. Most murders are committed by young white men who kill other young men.

The size of Pete Hegseth’s security detail is insane. Grown to 400+ agents since January.
They’re pulled from the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, which should be investigating crimes in the ranks.
Instead, they’re stuck guarding his ex-wives, multiple kids, and multiple properties.
