Important: Trump’s executive order is NOT legislation. Though the executive order promotes more misinformation about vaccines, nothing has changed about the availability of childhood vaccines. For evidence-based guidance, please follow and share American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.

The image depicts a vintage scene featuring a man standing atop a sleek, black aeroplane. The aircraft is designed with an elongated nose and a prominent front propeller. The man is dressed in a fitted black outfit that appears to be a form of flight suit, complemented by an oversized helmet resembling a futuristic or space helmet. The aircraft bears the alphanumeric designation "WT 34" marked prominently on its side, just behind the propeller.

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

Marco Rubio’s celebration of Western Culture and how distinct it is from the rest of the world, and how appalling mass migration is, would be a bit more convincing to me if the United States wasn’t a product of Mass Migration and many of the achievements of said civilization weren’t multi-cultural.

So tell me: what is it about Trump you love so much?
“I always loved Trump, this is unfair”: Republican mayor can’t believe he’s facing deportation after 50 years in US
December 2, 2025
Joe Ceballos — a longtime Republican and the mayor of the small Kansas town of Clearwater — is now confronting felony voter fraud charges and the possibility of being deported by the very presidential administration he supported.

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach (R) announced the charges just one day after Ceballos won reelection in Clearwater, a community of 2,653 residents according to the 2020 Census. The case includes three counts of voting without being qualified and three felony counts of election perjury, which Kobach said could lead to a maximum sentence of 68 months in prison along with fines that may total as much as $200,000.

On top of the criminal case, the Department of Homeland Security has warned that it may begin deportation proceedings to send Ceballos back to Mexico — a country he has not lived in since early childhood.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

If this didn’t happen domestically, it would be a war crime. It should be a crime to fire at civilians within the United States within certain distances. We have never seen civil disobedience *or even outright riots* in which short-range is anything but punitive and cruel—it doesn’t aid control.
