The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

There is a severe problem happening in the bee world:

Bees are dying & this year 2025 80% of the Bee population has died.

This is catastrophic for the planet.

So I am asking my sweetest friends with money & pull: lets get Honey Tree Healing Farm going to repopulate bees, trees & feed the world.
