An average American trying to get by in Trump’s dystopian America.

Why is there so much sane-washing of Trump's public appearances and speeches? There is a reason people no longer trust MSM news. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Data from 600k students shows they outscore every other major on reasoning, curiosity and open-mindedness.

The OGOP legislators have their priorities, football first and then public education. They plan to pay for the stadium on a tax that hurts working Ohioans. The OGOP are not fiscally responsible or good for Ohioans. Contact your legislators and give them know you are for funding public schools.
The Ohio Senate has announced its version of the state budget, one that provides a slight increase in public school funding, gives a $600 million grant to the Cleveland Browns for their new stadium and creates a flat income tax of 2.75%.

Many undocumented immigrants file tax returns with the IRS, providing details about their residences, families, employers, and earnings. The IRS has historically encouraged tax compliance by issuing ITINs to those without Social Security numbers.
