I’m not going to be nice, but I will tell you the truth. All Republicans are stupid and racist. They use terms such as “deep state,” refer to President Biden’s extremely successful economic policy as a “virus,” label all social programs ‘socialism,’ call progressives ‘elitists,’ and the most idiotic of all, use “woke” without understanding its meaning. They have no idea what they are saying, they simply mimic their Fuhrer’s illiterate speech. The most laughable is “woke.” The word’s origin comes from the Black community and its constant fight for justice and equality. [It has been traced all the way back to “Scottsboro Boys,” a protest song recorded by Lead Belly in the 1930s advising Black people to “stay woke” and be aware of racist policies in the deeply segregated South.] The right is aware that “woke” in the 21 st century simply refers to social injustice. If you are “woke,” you care about others as much as you care about yourself: you embrace feelings of compassion and understan...

The men and women who call themselves “conservatives” in the 21 st century are lying. True conservatives no longer exist. These liars and hypocrites talk a lot about “fiscal responsibility,” but their words are nothing more than hot air. They will continue to support and protect the outrageous wealth of our nation’s billionaires/oligarchs, while removing funds from the men and women who need them to perform the jobs for which they were elected. One fact proves everything I claim about the once Grand Old Party: Donald Trump is the most expensive political toy in history. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump used taxpayer money to constantly live the life of a real billionaire. The America people funded his play time with six million dollars every month he pretended to be your president. In a single term, he spent about 288 million dollars of your money. His failed fiscal policy of “trickle-down economics” added more than eight trillion dollars to the deficit. That number begins with a “T,” and...

The last words of our nation’s National Anthem are, “O-er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.” One word no longer applies. In the 21 st century, only one percent of all 340 million people experience the American dream, and the core reason our country was the most respected country in the world. That word is “freedom.” I am 78 years old, and struggle to keep our home, eat fresh and healthy food, and pay our utility and water bills every month. I am a slave to a government which ignores me, my wife, and nearly 80 million other citizens. We are not ‘free,’ we are survivors of the corrupt leadership in Washington. We are expected to show our appreciation for a 2.5 percent annual raise when Greedflation has increased by as much as 60 percent on necessities. If “the People’s President,” Franklin Delano Roosevelt, had not displayed his deep concern for all of our nation’s people and created the plan I and my wife paid into for more than 40 years each, Social Security, my wife an...

Let me begin with a crude but accurate statement defining Trump and Musk: they are old, white men who are liars, and full of shit. A simple assessment of their actions proves that their efforts have a single purpose: to place even more money into the bank accounts of our nation’s 813 Oligarchs/Billionaires. Fair taxation has always been overlooked in America. History proves that our government has always placed the profits of the super-rich in priority above the welfare of the majority, with the exception of the FDR presidency between 1933 and 1945. If America’s most wealthy citizens paid their fair share of taxes in the past and present, our nation could fund the same programs found in every other developed nation and still have a surplus. Consider this fact: in 2018, Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy supporters greatly reduced the percentage of taxes paid by the one percent. For example: In 2018 Walmart and Amazon paid zero dollars in taxes, while pocketing billions of dollars in prof...
