We’re 40 trillion dollars in debt, what’s another billion dollars a day?

That’s it. Just blowing off steam because I made the mistake of looking at the news, oh boy.

That the story is "first torpedo fired since WWII" shows you how easily they manipulate the media.

Not sure how to parse that data, or if I even have the expertise. Totally agree it's a dumpster fire. And now we're spending a billion dollars a day on top of that.

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege.
