"I checked my Walmart app — 30 grocery items cost me $70.20 in Jan 2020. Today? The same cart costs me $165.42. That’s a 135.6% increase. We can’t keep living like this. I can’t be the only one." – Jennifer Harper Bowen

Good question. 🤨

I won’t be going high anymore.

I return the same energy, and if we both end up in hell, so be it.

Tariffs are not "creating wealth". They impose higher costs to U.S. consumers. The money comes out of your wallet. There is no directive on how the Government "tariff income" is actually used. Tax breaks for the rich will not improve the lives of middle-class America.

TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY...but no money available for Medicaid, Cancer Research, FEMA...

Air Force Denies Early Retirement for Transgender Men and Women

This is what pure hate and disturbing religious beliefs lead to.

I’m with George Carlin. I pray to the Sun. There aren’t a lot of BS stories that wind up getting even more twisted by warped human minds attached to the Sun. And…the Sun doesn’t care who you love.

current issue:

The more Cuomo attacks Mamdani in a pathetic attempt to stay relevant, the more I understand all the sexual abuse charges against him.

This is the height of white male entitlement.

He doesn’t know when to stop.

He doesn’t understand the word “No”.

He can’t accept defeat.

Veterans fought for our freedom. The least we can do is provide quality health care and benefits for veterans. Instead, the Administration is defunding the VA, firing doctors and workers, and making it harder for veterans to get the care they need.

This is no way to treat our heroes.

As of this week, there is nobody left on Earth who witnessed this moment live.

Remember how he told Gen. Milley no one wanted to see a disabled vet in a wheelchair at Milley’s outgoing ceremony and how he mocked a disabled reporter during his campaign. PEDOPOTUS possesses no trace of empathy true to his psychopathy. He is completely devoid of any traits that mark him as human!

Dear Greg Abbott:

No matter how much ass-kissing & boot-licking you do, no matter how much you cheat for him, the orange rapist felon will never accept you because you're disabled.

You can pretend you're one of them, but you're a useful tool, soon to be discarded like the trash you are.

Shut this concentration camp down!

Attorneys for a Venezuelan man who collapsed inside “Alligator Alcatraz” are accusing the facility of failing to provide adequate care for sick detainees.

@genefortexas.bsky.social on Greg Abbott: "To have a governor just bend the knee so casually-- to lick the boots with such energy, it's so unbecoming of a Texan. There's no independence... you're just another bootlicker."

Trump has never addressed the Epstein-Maxwell survivors. There are only three possible reasons for this:

• Trump has ZERO empathy.
• Trump's a perp.
• Both.

@genefortexas.bsky.social: "We're buying time for Texans to wake up... To not only deal with TX but deal w/ this in every other state. If ppl who lie, cheat, and steal are allowed to win the day, that is the end of our country... Get off your ass! This is our last shot at saving the American dream."

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

It makes sense once you realize that every accusation is a confession.

This week the President of the United States walked around on the roof of The White House and yelled about nuclear weapons in a desperate bid to distract from allegations that he is a child sex trafficker.

The fact that Trans service members who are forced to leave the military are being denied early retirement pension if they are 15-19 years in, is angering and should anger all Americans.

Meanwhile the draft dodging fat-assed douche canoe clown balls of a President dodged the draft.
