Our Whitehouse is being clad in gold while citizens can’t afford to buy a home and are now being overcharged to rent.

Today I spent half an hour dealing with A I online with a company that i needed information about why an order was returned due to a bad address during the purchase. Problem is, I went back to the order, the address is exactly as 6 earlier orders. A I sucks.

Californians have paid more than $1,000 in Trump Taxes this year thanks to the President’s tariffs — making housing, groceries, and everyday goods more expensive.
And with inflation still driving up prices, the cost of living under Donald Trump could climb even higher in 2026.

Pete Hegseth says the Defense Department “does not do climate change crap.”
But a new report suggests that the Pentagon is engaging with the issue in one serious way: Stockpiling dozens of critical minerals, it is threatening the energy transition by hoarding valuable resources.

Even without bells and whistles, customer service that simply does what it is supposed to do can go a long way to ensure brand loyalty. The same is likely true for voters.

CBS, if you want to keep your viewers, stop allowing trump administration to censor your programming. Been a weekly viewer of 60 minutes for 50 years, but I won’t if government tells you what you can air!
Keep it up and you might as well just run ads for trump, but it will only reach the few.

In a time when many citizens are left homeless or living paycheck to paycheck, the last thing our president should be doing is adding gold and glitz to the Whitehouse and ripping away a wing of the building to build a ballroom. That building addition will have huge over runs in cost.

In a autocratic government, they name buildings and/or ships for the leader, because if left for future, said leader would be on shit houses and not much else!
