SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Bidenβs disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly βhandedβ to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!

Small point about the coverage of Hegsethβs stupid convening: Trump has not βrenamedβ the Department of Defense something else. He *calls* it that.
If I started calling the president βAdolf,β one would not say that I had βrenamed him Adolf.β He has no more authority to rename DOD than I do him.
