Definitely no coincidence!
The following pics present only half of the content from my book, "Weaponized Division," that led to my being banned from "X" last fall when I tried to post them to warn U.S. voters. (for those interested, I'll repost this with the 2nd half.)

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

It’s all about the local leadership and the example of neighbours caring for those most vulnerable. Once a very important element in North American success and civil society. It doesn’t take much to sustain a community - or behave like a dick. Choose your leadership thoughtfully.
