Chris tells us RAM was founded to deliver care in far off jungles- but now focuses on the Tennessee area😳

i spent a lot of time talking to people who disagree with me. after having a certain number of guns and knives pulled on me and having a couple bones broken I decided conservatives aren't worth the trouble.
CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.

It’s the kind of diagnosis that a toddler would land on.

What speech did you listen to? Because in the one I heard he touted fake economic accomplishments, blamed all his failures on Biden & yelled about immigrants for 30 minutes.

Trump couldn't care less about prices or working class Americans. Affordability will never be a focus of his administration.
In his address to the nation last night, President Trump made one thing clear: affordability is the administration’s economic focus for 2026. While he avoided the specific buzzword, the policy pivot toward aggressive price reduction measures was clear.

Markets should pay heed to the affordability squeeze
Political pressure in response to public anxiety will demand policy responses

I love that American nationalists think other countries should give America their oil.
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

Remember awhile back when AIPAC dropped Randy Fine from their website after he said "starve away" in response to 4 kids in Gaza dying of starvation?

AIPAC then said "consideration" for endorsing Fine would take place later.

Well, turns out AIPAC has added Fine back to their site:
