85% of our potash comes from canada. My favorite factoid about how important potash is to agriculture in the US is that the first patent granted in this country, in 1790, was for "a novel method for the production of potash."

Miss Candy had outfitted the Blue Angels for 43 years. The Navy was paying her $127,000 per year for the contract. Without telling her, the Trump regime gave the contract to a white man 900 miles away and paid him almost triple. Original post: www.instagram.com/reel/Db8Yh5b...

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.
The Daily Caller on Threads:

OPINION: We should do more than just require ID to vote. The Save Act is the least we should do. It’s rookie numbers. We should do far more. Way fewer people should be allowed to vote. Americans must meet two of three criteria to vote:

1. Be a net contributor to tax revenue
2. Own property
3. Be married with children…


There’s also a graphic that says “in a fairer world 150 million Americans wouldn’t be allowed to vote.”
