Expendable.
Alone,
With no family of his own.
He is last.
Last to be thought of.
Last to be invited.
Last to be considered.
Last to be served.
Last in priorities.
It is reality.
It is understood.
It is accepted.
It is sometimes oh so overwhelming.
Expendable.

Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.

Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days?

It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums."

Just how has Donald Trump shown in any quantifiable measure that he has anything but disdain for our Military?

Where is there any substantive evidence of true reverence, of authentic respect, of real gratitude?

Whether on Memorial Day or Veterans Day or Independence Day, or any day we wake up with such a small, cowardly, petty disgrace of a man leading this nation, we should be livid at the insult he is to those who truly loved and love America...

📢🚨🚨 Why You're Not Feeling "The Big Ugly Bill"—Yet

Greedy #Felon47 & #MAGAGOP #Fascist leaders designed H.R.1 (The "Big Beautiful Bill") to delay the damage until AFTER the 2026 midterms.

⬇️⬇️

WATCH what's Delayed—not just what's announced.

SPREAD THE WORD, KNOW WHAT'S COMING!
THE BIG BEAUTIFUL DELAY Why You're Not Feeling the Bill – Yet H.R.1 (The "Big Beautiful Bill") was designed to delay the damage until after the 2026 midterms. Here's what's coming... but not just yet: CUTS COMING AFTER THE ELECTION: X Medicaid work rules Dec. 2026 X Food aid restrictions Late 2026 X Clean energy credits end Mid to late 2026 X Student loan changes Gradually by 2026 X Affordable housing cuts Phased in post-2025 X Rural hospital funding declines Starts 2026 WHY IT'S DELAYED: Politicians want your vote before you feel the impact The harshest parts are hidden until after ballots are cast By then, it's harder to stop. STAY ALERT. SPREAD THE WORD, KNOW WHAT'S COMING. Watch what's delayed - not just what's announced.

🤓 POSITIVE #TuesdayThoughts:
I woke to 6 inches of snow and
a wind chill of 8F. Trump did not
die overnight. 40% of voters are
just as horrid as he is. But I
woke, have love and food.
I will see tomorrow.

Oh, so he totally stole the money
The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The “unwind” in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a “drubbing.” That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!

Stop with this "caving" crap. 42 million Americans count on SNAP benefits. Trump doesn't car whether they eat or not. Do we allow them to go hungry so you can claim a testoserone victory?

Love wins, again - Supreme Court rejects Kim Davis appeal to overturn same-sex marriage nationwide. While upholding Obergefell ruling remains a source of joy for millions, the former clerk faces a less joyful reality: a $360,000 bill for her 2015 protest.
