  1. Another brick in the wall. Who knew Project 2025 was based on Led Zeppelin lyrics from the 70s?

    “We don’t need no education
    We don’t need no thought control…”

  2. Yeah…let’s cut funding to these institutions so we can spend hundreds of millions on the retrofitting of a $400 million illegal gift which is BEYOND necessary, and thousands on a helipad so the Gov can fly home each weekend!!! Have you folks that voted for these guys figured it out yet? And this?….it’s the tip of the iceberg! Along with that, a tax bill that will add to our debt at record levels while the majority of Americans will feel the brunt of tariffs, inflation and the risk of a recession….

  3. Tariff is a word used to cover up an actual National sales TAX on the imported content of the products we all buy . A first step in applying a National sales TAX on everything we buy. It is part of the quest to end the progressive income tax system .replacing it with a regressive National Sales TAX on everything .

  4. Yup, I’m afraid the last principled Republican president was Eisenhower. But that doesn’t keep their self righteous minions from voting on FEAR alone! As long as republicans keep giving lip service towards keeping minorities down, their base will feel safe and preferred for jobs.
