US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

#ProudBlue #Resist And now we understand why he appointed a retired Lt. General to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Also fired was Admiral Lisa Franchetti, the Chief of the Navy. So now the “DEI” folks (Black & woman) are gone, his top officers will be more Hitler-like for our not-a-King!

Here’s the hard truth: this country’s people are tired of subsidizing billionaires. Want your cars to sell? Do it without subsidies. Want to shoot rockets into space? Get by without govt contracts. Want to build a website? Build your own internet first. We are DONE with you.

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they won’t be able to avoid reality for long.
