@ImBreckWorsham Today he actually announced cuts to the Medicare prescription drug program for seniors?! Isn't there a single Republican with backbone? Doesn't he have any moral compass? You pretentious fools, enjoy your Cadillac Escalades!
Maybe we should give them our grocery list and the money we have to cover that list and send them shopping. When beef is $9.99/lb and an average chuck roast is $44 something is wrong! 12 roll pack of paper towels is $16. Bottle of ketchup is $8. Something has to got to give!
There is something deeply troubling happening in this country.
Somewhere along the way, many of the people elected to represent us stopped living like us.
They don’t stand in the grocery store isle wondering if they should put something back because the bill got too high. I see it in my store, people have a limited budget and sometimes have to put a product back they wanted. That’s reality.
Our representatives don’t worry if one unexpected medical bill, a tractor repair, a broken down vehicle will throw an unexpected burden on the family budget.
They don’t lie around wondering how they will pay increasing property tax demands on land that has been in the family for generations.
They don’t wonder if they will have enough left to buy school clothes, fix the roof, or help their children get started in life.
That’s just it, if we are burdened with unfair taxation at every turn, with little to no representation…..what does the future look like for our children and grandchildren.
These are all things the common man thinks about on a day to day basis.
The waitress working a double shift does.
The mechanic covered in grease does.
The farmer praying for rain one week and praying it stops the next does.
The small business owner working 70 hours a week just to make payroll does.
These aren’t statistics. These are made up numbers on a piece of paper. These are people. This is you and I.
They’re husbands and wives carrying burdens no government report will ever measure. They’re parents and grandparents trying to leave something better for future generations. They’re young families wondering if the American Dream is still within reach.
Government was never meant to be so disconnected from the people that they no longer understand them……yet here we are. No level of government understands the will and need of the people.
Representation means more than winning an election. It means remembering what it’s like to struggle. It means understanding that every law, every tax, every regulation, and every decision lands on the shoulders of real people with real lives.
The strength of America hasn’t come from Washington in over a 100 years. In fact, most representatives are weak, spineless individuals bought by corporate America.
The strength of America comes from ordinary people doing extraordinary things every single day-raising families, growing food, building businesses, serving neighbors, and refusing to give up.
Maybe it’s time our elected representatives spent less time listening to lobbyists and party leaders…..
……and more time sitting on front porches, at kitchen tables, in shops, in barns, in factories, and in small town diners. That’s where the truth will be heard.
Because until they reconnect, they will never understand the people they were elected to serve . They will never understand you and I.

Our country does indeed have a lot of oil, but we lack the capacity to process crude oil. Perhaps we should address this issue so that our country can better supply its oil resources.
BREAKING: "We have a thousand-year supply of gasoline. China doesn't."
President Trump brags about the vast energy resources that the U.S. has, arguing America's oil reserves give it a major advantage over countries like China.
"We have more oil. Now, when you add Venezuela to it, we really have more oil."
Have any of you had any luck with restoring photos? Also, have any of you bought a device to scan old pics in photo albums that are stuck and save on a memory stick? I have so many pics I need to do this with and give copies out. I’m the one with all the photos & letters
These same people are the ones who claim to be fiscally conservative without realizing that Republicans have underperformed with the economy and added trillions to the national debt
Imagine the amount of propaganda it took to convince millions of people that healthcare, food assistance, social programs, clean water, clean air, good wages, housing, equal rights, diversity and a healthy planet for all people was somehow a threat to America and to Christianity.
Why is the World War Two Memorial in Washington DC filled with 3rd worlders slashing their feet in the water, kids chasing ducks, and splashing water onto the concrete?
There was 1 American looking man who sat a part from the circus, with the appropriate attitude of respect honoring the soldiers (11% of USA population at the time) contemplating, and reflecting.
The Rainbow Pool resembles the European fountains where our allied troops celebrated liberation and the end of the fascism.
Posted signs explicitly state, "Honor Your Veterans. No Wading." It's clear that these foreigners could care less about America and it's truly heartbreaking.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro to Trump:
"Instead of arresting the President of Venezuela over oil, you should have arrested Netanyahu, the genocide leader wanted by the International Criminal Court."
