The most significant part of this Wall Street Journal article is the telling photo. Every *honest* person in the world would look at this & recognize an aging, confused grandpa. He repeatedly confused Iceland & Greenland at Davos while looking this way. He's not there. www.wsj.com/world/asia/t...
The First Three Weeks of the Year Will Reshape the World
From Davos to Minneapolis, the events of this month have the potential to profoundly change the political and economic landscape for years to come.

Never trust a single thing this administration says or posts. They're proud of lying to Americans. After being caught issuing an AI altered photo, they said it was a meme (uh, no) & "the memes will continue."

Sadly, the MAGA cult will always drink their Kool Aid.. www.cbsnews.com/news/white-h...
White House posts an altered photo of Minnesota protester's arrest to make it look like she was crying
The image, which an expert said was likely altered with AI, sparked backlash online. The White House doubled down, saying, "The memes will continue."

The reality is that #affordability is the defining issue today. From housing to red meat, from coffee to lettuce and fish, prices are going up despite Trump's promise to lower prices on "day one."

I've always had to pay attention to #inflation as a freelancer.

Trump is bragging about how great these numbers are. His born-with-a-gold-spoon mentality means he thinks #affordability is higher food prices but lower on tvs. He's as senile as Biden was. (graph from Wall Street Journal)

The new community we moved into in San Diego has multiple catch basins designed to capture and replenish a vital resource. Love it!

Trump admin says they're "at war against drug trafficking, not Venezuela." 🤔

Trump just pardoned the president of Honduras who was serving US prison time after being convicted of MASSIVE drug trafficking & fed drug agents are taken off cases to work immigration. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says U.S. capture of Maduro is not a war against Venezuela
The U.S. secretary of state said conversations about holding elections in Venezuela are "premature."

It’s pretty amazing how quickly (and often) Republicans can figure out how to invade a foreign country for oil but can’t figure out how to get Americans affordable healthcare.

Can we trade #Maduro for health care & affordability? Trump has jacked prices on Americans with tariffs, done NOTHING about health care in 5 years in power and says Epstein files (that he's all over) are a hoax.

No one gives a s**t about removing dictators in other countries.

America first? GTFO

A 23 yr old right wing YouTube clown with an iPhone & nothing but hopes of going viral with previously reported news mixed with is "findings" has the ear of the gov't.

Remember the pet eating Haitians bs? Yeah, this s**t is that dumb too (but MAGA loves it! 🤦‍♂️) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/b...

A bit of unsolicited advice to teachers of *any* art.

Do. Not. Overcorrect.

Imo, a teacher that is constantly correcting every detail is battling a large ego & making it about them.

Guide people to an understanding and let them find their way. "Mistakes" are the greatest impetus for learning.

So it's okay for MAGA to talk s**t about a left leaning murder victim but they lost their cultist minds when Kirk was murdered?

When will MAGA ever realize they're hypocritical sheep?

All murder victims should be spared the indignities of character assassination. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-d...

We all knew it was coming and here it is; Farmer Welfare version 2.

Hey MAGA, quit taking welfare from your leader and crying about finances. I thought y'all were tough but you seem okay with getting checks from your boy that you put in office. Snowflakes. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

As a photographer, I'm constantly on the go & drink lots of coffee so I know when prices skyrocket like they have.

To the cult-like GOP voters, if you buy into Trump's claims that his tariffs don't raise prices, why would removing his tariffs lower prices?
