Honoring my mother, who was 99 years old in this picture (She died this past Sept. at age 99.5). Though she was hoping to see a woman president in her lifetime, she would have been happy with any one BUT the one who lied his way back in. She saw through his empty shell.

ALERT! CAUTION! New white house gaslighting word = TARIFF. Ex. Tonight, a local appliance store emailed me, said their prices might soon be higher due to tariffs. He advised me to lock in my price before it goes up. Small biz owner is scrambling. For what? Why? Tariff = The consumer pays.
