Did you know the CONSUMER CONFIDENCE INDEX just had the largest decline since Aug '21? When it's low Americans don't spend, leading to higher inflation. Groceries have climbed 0.5%; egg prices up 15%. Remember he said, "I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One.” I call BS!

Yesterday' oval office ambush brought back an emotional response I've only had 3 times before in my American lifetime. November 22nd. September 11th. January 6th. And, now, February 28th.

I am so sorry Ukraine. I am so sorry President Zelensky. Have no doubt this was planned. That ambush was calculated and despicable. I am ashamed of my country. My heart breaks for Ukraine... and for the world. We are being driven off a cliff by evil, cruel men. I am so sorry.
