Screaming into the Void
Autism registries. Chemical castration. ADHD wellness camps
Ah eugenics.

Under the leadership of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now serving as U.S. Health Secretary, a federal autism registry has been proposed to gather comprehensive data on autistic individuals.
April 24, 2025 at 5:55 PM
In the early 2000s, David Geier and his father began administering Lupron, a powerful drug used to chemically castrate sex offenders and treat prostate cancer to children diagnosed with autism. David Geier has been appointed to a federal committee overseeing vaccine injury compensation and research.

That $50,000 car suddenly costs an extra $17,500 in tariffs: $5,000 from the German tariff and $12,500 from the motor vehicle tariff. The $5,000 battery gets an extra $7,250 in tariffs due to China. You’re looking at $24,750 extra for a single car.
April 11, 2025 at 5:12 PM
But wait, the $5000 battery is Chinese? Whom we have at 145% tarriff on. SO It gets slammed with that 145% tariff. So now, on top of all the other costs, you’re paying another $7,250 in tariffs just for that battery.

So say a car comes from Germany, so it gets hit with the 10% tariff —
Well guess what?
We also have a 25% tariff on motor vehicles from Germany. So that’s 35% in total — 10% baseline + 25% vehicle tariff. And that’s on top of everything else. So now, that German car just got way more expensive.

Over one billion dollars in federal programs designed to support food banks and local food purchases for schools have been eliminated.
March 22, 2025 at 10:57 PM
The recent federal cuts to vital food programs are not just bureaucratic adjustments, they are an outright assault on the most vulnerable Americans.
March 22, 2025 at 10:57 PM
Hunger is NOT a partisan issue. It is a national emergency that affects children, working families, veterans, and seniors alike. If these cuts are not reversed, the consequences will be felt for generations.

At the end of the day, all of this isn’t just childish, it’s embarrassing. Politicians should be held to a higher standard, but instead, we get this kind of performative nonsense. America deserves better.
March 21, 2025 at 11:57 AM
The fact that actual lawmakers thought this was worth drafting into a bill instead of, say, fixing the cost of living, addressing crime, or improving education is an insult to the people they represent.
March 21, 2025 at 11:57 AM
This kind of nonsense sets a bad example. If we allow political leaders to dismiss opposition as "crazy," it becomes easier to silence and ignore people who disagree with them. It’s lazy, anti-democratic, and a distraction from real governance.

If they actually cared about mental health, they'd be working on making healthcare more accessible, funding treatment programs, and tackling the mental health crisis head on. Instead, they’re playing playground level name calling games under the guise of legislation.
March 21, 2025 at 11:56 AM
The fact that lawmakers are wasting time on something as petty as labeling political opponents "mentally ill" instead of addressing real issues is both childish and dangerous.

On March 13, 2025, State Representative Pat Curry (R-Waco) introduced House Bill 4938, proposing the abolition of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and the Parks and Wildlife Commission.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing a case that could decide if America stays a democracy or becomes a dictatorship. That’s not an exaggeration.
March 3, 2025 at 5:13 PM
Oh, and yes—there are still taxes on tips and overtime pay.
March 1, 2025 at 3:24 PM
All of this points to a bigger issue, a push to concentrate power and limit democracy. If these trends continue, the future of fair government and independent institutions is at risk.
March 1, 2025 at 3:24 PM
If government jobs become unstable, good people might avoid public service, making the system weaker overall.
March 1, 2025 at 3:24 PM
At the same time, other efforts like D.O.G.E. plans to shrink the federal workforce, seem designed to weaken government institutions. Fewer workers and tighter control could mean less independent decision making, making it easier for those in power to silence opposition.
March 1, 2025 at 3:23 PM
In America, the military is supposed to serve the country, not any one person. A military that follows a leader instead of the Constitution is a major step toward dictatorship.
March 1, 2025 at 3:22 PM
Meanwhile, Trump making big changes to military leadership, raises concerns that he’s replacing experienced leaders with people who are loyal to him.

A Tennessee law that punishes officials for voting in favor of sanctuary policies just passed committee. This law doesn’t just attack free speech. It is part of a bigger trend where governments use the law to crush political opponents!
March 1, 2025 at 3:21 PM
If laws can punish elected officials just for voting a certain way, how long before they start punishing regular citizens? It’s so important to recognize these patterns early, before they become the norm.
March 1, 2025 at 3:17 PM
In a democracy, people must be able to speak up when leaders do something wrong. When governments try to silence critics, it’s a warning sign of growing repression.
