So Dump says: “The slashes were 300 yards long, and the floor of the pool was cut and then pulled upward, with great force, by these thugs." Reflecting pool is 37,668 sq yards, so pool liner would weigh betw 42,376 lbs - 65,919 lbs depending on thickness of liner. That would be SOME AMAZING THUGs!

One of the things I hate most about the Dump Regime is that its' made me into a hate-filled person. I wasn't this way until recently. I've always been an empathic person but these days when I read an article about a Dump supporter whose spouse is picked up by ICE, I feel little. Maybe I smile a bit

9 white men, wearing same color suit as Dump, MAGA hat in front of each. Checked photos of Biden & Obama cabinet meetings; they all had briefing papers/binders on the table in front of them. Amazing visual of the difference between Dump Regime & prior Administrations. A tableful of empty hats.

If one of Project 2025's stated goals is to "secure our God-given individual rights to live freely," WHY do they choose to only give these "God-given individual rights" to conservative religious people like them? How do they justify that? Preventing my abortion is taking away my individual rights!

Here's where we are: cowering in fear from the most vindictive man who ever occupied the Oval Office. Our leaders better find their courage otherwise there will be even darker times ahead. Dump has no desire but vengeance against his "enemies" and the need to escape justice for his own prior crimes.

Polls reveal that Americans think foreign aid accounts for 25% to 50% of all federal spending. The truth is that about 1% of the federal budget goes to foreign aid. With this level of ignorance among the voting public, how will we ever regain control? How and when did we become so stupid!

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.
