Can we, the United States 🇺🇸, get a good, decent, honest, honorable, and intelligent president again or is it too much to ask for ? We’re really tired of this one.

It's not just Elon Musk. Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, and every multibillionaire built their fortunes the same way: by NOT paying taxes as their wealth grew. Without endless tax deferrals, they'd have a tiny fraction of what they own today. It's time they pay their fair share.

Data Centers consume massive amounts of power and water, and pollute the surrounding environment with 24x7 noise, light and wastewater. They don't produce jobs, they don't give back to the community in any way, they're resource parasites that don't benefit you or I one bit.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have completely botched this war. Yesterday, Trump said that Phase 1 is to open the Strait of Hormuz. His goal is now to fix the thing he broke. And the only thing the American people have to show for it is higher prices.

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund. Amazon got $600 million. Trump is sending the "refunds" to the companies, not working people. Every single cent of these refunds should go back to American consumers.

"It's clear that there's a rampant dumbing down in progress in which not knowing things is considered a virtue. I don't throw my hands up in despair, but I do try to indicate that it's a very serious problem." - Carl Sagan
