This is a genius idea - if you buy a house at age 35 you only have to work until you’re 85 to pay it off….or you’ll get foreclosed when you’re forced to retire from the factory at age 80 or so.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.

He wasn’t canceled for what he actually said; they were just waiting for something they could use to cancel the show.
Inevitably, it happened.
Fox said "kill all homeless," and nothing happened.
That alone proves the point.

America is no longer drifting toward authoritarianism — we are living in it. With the courts captured, Congress complicit, and dissent punished while loyalty is rewarded, Donald Trump is paving the road to fascism in plain sight.

Recently they found more remains of missing people, who we lost in the most horrific attack on American soil!
They are brave souls, our greater angels and are all sadly missed year after year since 9-11-2001!
Many blessings to their family and friends as we remember them once again today!

Today we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who rose in our darkest hour.

24 years later, the lights still rise where the towers once stood. A reminder of loss, resilience, and unity.
