Trump Promised a Golden Age. Then a Montana Lumber Plant Closed Down.
Anger over well-paid manufacturing jobs giving way to lower-wage work fueled President Trump’s rise. With his movement now in power, who gets blamed as the trend continues?

So once again we’ve jumped into war in Middle East with no clear strategy, goal, or exit plan and little American support.
Trump put U.S. troops, diplomats, and civilians in harm's way because he can’t stomach the hard-nosed diplomacy necessary and we’re all less safe because of his decision.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism.
Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

House spending bill would lead to $1B in D.C. cuts. Here’s what that means.
The bill, also known as a continuing resolution, now moves to the Senate, where D.C. officials hope Democrats will help them defeat the measure.
