MAGA's gutting education because their Christian white nationalist regime know that knowledge and an educated population is a threat. I briefly cover some of Trump's crazier beliefs and cover how they're using tax dollars to fund christian schooling.
MAGA loyalty demands ignorance.

I think that Heather Cox Richardson is a national treasure and she made some simple comments about resisting and what we should do. If you have read her "Letters from an American" posts you should give them a try. Contests aren't decided by those watching from the sidelines.

Trump acts guilty because he knows what he's guilty of doing otherwise he would release the files. Of course he's in them. He campaigned on them releasing them. He thought he could quash them once he was President. I supply some before quotes and MAGts fascination with children as sex objects.

This perfectly illustrates two governing philosophies: continuing to cut taxes for the wealthy and exacerbating inequality, or investing in education, healthcare, and ordinary families? We choose the latter
While the Trump Administration has abandoned any sense of duty, responsibility, and leadership in addressing climate change.

My latest Substack post deals with the Nodfather and why no of his supposed friends and or family is staging an intervention as he continues to embarrass himself in front of the entire world as he continues to deteriorate. He's a laughing stock with his made up stories and bizarre posts.

MAGA still uses the same trope that they have used for decades clear back to FDR in calling their opposition commies. I also cover Democratic Socialism in this. It isn't complicated.

Have you ever wondered what time frame MAGA refers to when they talk about when they say again. They have provided plenty of clues. I go over some of that in this post including my time as a Republican years ago.

Who's really running the country. President Puddin' brains certainly isn't up for it. He looks like he doesn't know where he is a lot of the time. They had to put up signs letting him know where the Oval Office is when he gets away from his caregiver handlers.
