Joni Ernst said it at a town hall, then again in a cemetery: “We’re all going to die.”

That’s her defense for cutting Medicaid.

If politicians are deciding who gets care, who stays sick, or who dies—what exactly are we calling that?

Autocracy Crushed My Alma Mater. Then I Got to Columbia. Smolny College is a warning.

Before coming to Columbia, Anastasiia Vorozhtsova went to Smolny College, a liberal-arts school in St. Petersburg.

“Russian authorities intervened, and my alma mater started unraveling. Smolny’s story offers a warning that Columbia must heed”:

First they cut the ethics offices.
Then they dropped investigations into international financial interests. Then they gutted IRS enforcement. Then they fired the Inspectors General.

‘Shrinking government’ always seems to make it easier to steal.

33.7 megawatts of solar energy produced.
5.5 MW sent back to the grid.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

This was….five months ago

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside

Elon Musk says, " We've exhausted AI training data." What if you could get real-world data on 350 million Americans? Why not scam Rare Earth Minerals from Canada and Greenland for his AI revolution?

I immediately thought about who benefits from a full-out recession. When the tax cuts are final, it will provide enough money for the broliarchs to purchase companies that fail for pennies on the dollar. Is all of this chaos by design?

Our backyard chickens and our solar investment seem to be working out well for us. A great start in an effort to be sustainable and self-sustaining. #MARA (make America resilient again).
