Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

RFK Jr. just fired thousands of federal workers at crucial health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and NIH. These are the people who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and cures. How is this "Making America Healthy Again"?

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.
