I love the colors. I build houses. A wood shop is on my bucket list.

At roughly the 14:00 minute mark the gentleman being questioned makes a valid point about the difference in character of both presidents. Obama had spent 3 years building relationships with the world. I don’t know why he didn’t get approval, but he had earned a little trust. Trump… not in the least.

So… by bombing Iran the president has given the Saudis and American oil companies a reason to charge more for their products than just price gouging. They’ve effectively doubled their profit margins while we’ve wasted a trillion dollars in munitions.

That doesn’t include the cost of innocent lives

The U.S. borrowed $50 billion a week for the past five months, finds the CBO: 'Our fiscal problems will not solve themselves' | Fortune "We need policymakers to come together, agree to reduce deficits ... and put our national debt on a downward sustainable path as a share of the economy."

I frequent a small local station. The owner lives in his community and knows that the increases take food off the table. There is still good in the world.

They’ve sanitized our broadcasts. We showed Vietnam. We showed Ruby Bridges. We showed Selma. The rich have bought the media. They changed the rules a decade ago about owning them all. We need to change them back.

Most definitely. NO KINGS MARCH 28TH.

Amateur Wood Butcher? Me too. It’s a gift. There’s nothing better than the smell of wood.

Ignorance is hard to overcome. The poor don’t always have the luxury of research. The rich designed the system that way. It’s why they keep minimum wages low.

I don’t. Winning this is going to take everyone coming together. America’s concept is worth saving. We have to cut out the tumors.

It’s a ‘wealth’ tax the corrupt are stealing from us all.

vs healthcare, SNAP, USAID, Climate, Medicaid, education, minimum wages… humanity.

We used to have them. We used to have a lot of things… We will again. I said when Trump won the first time, that they would reveal the holes in our Democracy so that we could repair them. We would have with Harris, but they rigged the election and showed us another one. Stay the course.

Again, people who live in paradise should pay a luxury tax. 😊

Rothschilds. Saudis. Big Oil. Blackrock. The list is long of people who will profit off of corruption.

I agree. We never experienced a more corrupt government from top to bottom. There are back door deals across every action. Foreign govts are pouring money into their pockets. I don’t know if our reputation will ever recover.

Unfortunately, there has always been a War Machine. An Industrial Complex. That anyone follows Trump and Hegseth is frightening. They’ve banned photographers from press meetings now. We need our IG’s back.

When you start to realize that there isn’t one more day, but that there’s one less… this moment now, becomes everything.

He has a long list of perverse behaviors. Putin has had him is pocket a long time.

I’m afraid you’re right. I read a report that the shackled bodies of people shipped out by ICE washed ashore. It never gained traction though, they buried it. I want to know what Lindsey Graham did to roll over like he did. Let’s hope we get the chance to give them all justice.

Supply and demand drove the price down. This was the early eighties and GM was swapping engines out. Big oil decided to jack the price up. It has a quite a few advantages.

After Andrew’s official condemnation you may get your wish. I agree. Child abuse, forced labor, starvation… are world wide problems. We can’t function and grow when any child is left behind. I can’t imagine the pain of that type of loss. Every child should be our responsibility.

Food prices are going up then too. Diesel has always been higher than gas despite the fact that it takes less work to process it. I used to own a service station and that torqued my ass.

Religion has no place in government other than the right to worship as you please being protected. The same with who you love.

Unfortunately, it is a precedent with the rich and powerful to do what they want. May they all die screaming in agony.

We should withhold it from our taxes along with his stupid tariffs as a protest.

They don’t care. Look at our gun laws. The lobby is so strong that we don’t have computerized files.
