I guess most people don’t know that when the IRS cuts personnel for audits, they increase the audits on lower income returns cuz the rich people’s taxes are too hard to work with less personnel. But hey at least it’s something else to be wrong & angry about, right?

There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.”
Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

As the military under Pete Hegseth rolls back recruiting for minority Americans remember that black women are the only reason the Army met its recruiting goals last year. Not enough white men qualify to even serve no matter volunteer. They'll learn when recruiting collapses and it ain't "wokeness."
