People are dying every day, while Trump is playing games with the future of Ukraine. It is time we isolate the US politically, until the American people chooses an actual President, who represents the values of the free world.

Trump again raises idea of running for an unconstitutional third term. The suggestion followed a stretch of days in which Trump referred to himself as a king and quoted a dictator in suggesting that he was immune from following laws www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Alaska has the fourth-highest number of federal workers per capita—fish & game, forestry, and more—their jobs are being cut under the excuse of “poor performance.” Lisa Murkowski knows that’s a lie—so why won’t she just say, it’s a lie. Collins, Burchett, and the rest are just giving lip service.

Trump is Putin’s puppet & he’s making it clear: NATO’s greatest threat is sitting in the White House. Blaming Zelensky for Russia’s war is outright Kremlin propaganda. He’s not just betraying the Atlantic alliance,he’s working to dismantle it. Europe, wake up NOW before it’s too late.

This is great news. The very succesful right wing podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience” has been pushed off the throne as the world’s number one podcast, by none other than the anti-Trump podcast MeidasTouch. That has got to sting.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Writing from experience. We’re being forced to feel what I’m calling “mass learned helplessness”. We are watching our institutions that have been protecting us get ripped apart every day on MSM. Our leaders appear to be helpless. Helplessness is how we will be made to conform to the new America.
