Green hills rise, so still,
When winds of change blow coldly,
A mind seeks the truth.

DOGE lists 1,125 canceled contracts, claiming $7.2 billion in savings—but many were already completed, meaning no money was actually saved. In fact, 417 contracts saved $0, and another 51 added up to less than $1 million.
Misinformation spreads fast—sharing to set the record straight.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

I get that not many Americans know how the Canadian/American border works.
Canadian border guards screen traffic coming INTO Canada.
American border guards screen traffic coming INTO the US.
So any problem with drugs getting into the US indicates that AMERICAN border guards are at fault.
