No findings, no facts! No news is good news! Ignorance is bliss! According to the USDA, 47.4 million lived in food insecure households in 2023. Among those, nearly 14 million were children. Now thanks to DJT we'll never be confronted by these facts again. The hunger, however, will remain.

My question to these hyperventilating pundits is: who is your enemy? Who is "the left"? Who, even, are the Democrats that are a terrorist organization? Does it include the 4,000,000 who voted for Trump? These commentators seem almost like children, seeing how far they can go, divorced from reality.

The president and half his cabinet are billionaires. Not only do they not represent you, they can't. They have no idea what your life is like or what your needs might be. Like him or not, Joe Biden tried to build a cabinet that looked like America. Trump has a cabinet that looks like him. Yuck.

Not only is our new acting director of the CDC NOT a scientist, but he also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement. One epidemiologist compared Jim O’Neill’s appointment to “making Elon Musk head of the FAA.”

0.00026% of Americans are billionaires. HALF of Trump's cabinet are. Not only don't they have the needs of ordinary Americans in mind, they lack even the ability to comprehend what those needs are. Flagpoles, ballrooms, medians (look it up) and paved-over rose gardens. Wake up, dummies.
