The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Because it's not a famine! They are deliberately being starved to death!

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”?

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

Exactly! And the press keeps taking the bait!

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

As a pastor on Ash Wednesday I give people their ashes and say "You were born from the ashes and dust of stars and to ashes and dust you shall return. May you be blessed and may you be a blessing."
