Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

The U.S. debt is $36 trillion. Low taxes mean you must borrow to run the U.S or cut services. Tax cuts = more debt, which means rich people can loan their tax cuts back to the U.S. to make even more $. Trump wants 4.5 trillion in tax cuts and a 4 trillion raise in debt ceiling. It’s a shell game.

Every school in the United States would do a great service to their students and the country if they took 30 minutes on every December 10 to teach a lesson about The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I applaud Professor Richardson for her post.

Hegseth has the self-awareness of a dog licking itself in the living room while the kids are opening Christmas presents, and he understands American history less than the dog.

Trump is not the problem; he’s the symptom. Republicans could have chosen someone else as their candidate but they didn’t. I’m back to give Republicans hell!
