I have spent most of my life overseas and really saddened by the polarization and hate that is now so prevalent in the US. This does not bode well for how we respond to many of the global challenges.
Thank God they solved this problem…..what them so long?

So which corporations pledged to donate to the demolition of the East Wing of the White House, and how much did they donate? We all deserve to know the details of their involvement in this historical tragedy. They were enablers in this complete fiasco.

We need to realize that we are in the midst of a takeover and the silence of the GOP and their lack of a spine has been the Trojan Horse. Folks….it’s happening.

Without China trade, American soybean farmers are left with limited options to sell their grain. So Trump bailed out Argentina’s economy this week, Arg then dropped its export taxes on soybeans so they could sell them to China…subsidized by Trumps aid. US farmers just got screwed.

If we’ve learned anything in the last year is that when given a choice, major law firms and media companies will chose money over our freedoms and constitution. They exist because of our freedoms and constitution. How pathetic.

I don’t get this. So Trump imposes 50% tariffs on India because they are buying Russian oil. At the same time Exxon is negotiating a return to Russia as Trump wants a “ deal.” Punish India for buying Russia’s oil, while we get paid to help Russia. Go figure.

Watching the tariff wars, I suspect China is going to force Trump to completely back peddle his entire approach on tariffs and holding countries hostage, which has huge political implications for Trump. He started it, and he lost it.

The story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is haunting. Illegaly deported to America's Gulag, (El Salvador) and Trump Admin admits it was mistake, but says it can't do anything to bring him back. El Salvador imports alot of coffee and clothes to the US... A lot of US Brands source from there.....

On the birth right issue, DJT’s parents were born in Austria and Scotland. So under his proposal, he would not be considered a US citizen. If he’s not a citizen, he can’t be considered president. He’s an anchor baby.

Elon Musk flexes his political muscle, sending government on path to shutdown. It seems Trump has outsourced his presidency. I don’t recall seeing Musk on the ballot.
