I don’t know if Ray Artman is brain washed along with the MAGA cult or just believes in the Ayn Rand philosophy of the “Me Society”.  Our Liar in Chief made all kinds of promises when he was campaigning for the presidency.  He was going to fix everything; the economy was going to be robust.  He was not going to touch Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security.  We know that didn’t happen especially after he empowered Musk with Doge to do whatever he wanted.  Thousands of people on Medicaid have lost their healthcare, children on SNAP will no longer get benefits. but who cares if they don’t have enough to eat.  The budget needs to be reduced so millionaires and billionaires can have more money. 

Trump promised to lower food prices on day-one. That is not happening!  I am on a fixed income and when I go to the store everything is 20-30 cents higher sometimes more than the week before, so how is inflation lower?  Some people are working 3 jobs just to be able to pay for food and rent and other necessities.  

Trump has surrounded himself with incompetent and unqualified people in his cabinet, the only qualification is their loyalty to him. Hegseth has fired every qualified and experienced military person in the Pentagon, all National Security Officials including the NSA director with no qualified replacements. How does that make America great again or safe?

Now the National Guard sent to Washington DC to fight “crime” are being armed.  Ramping up federal law enforcement, but only to blue states because apparently red states don’t have crimes.  Gov Lee sent the TN guard to Washington while ignoring Memphis who has the most crimes in the country, another distraction for the Epstein files.   He is demoralizing the soldiers who are volunteers and have to leave their families and their jobs to patrol the streets or just stand around in the extreme heat and humidity, not what they signed up for.  Does anyone remember when Nixon deployed the OHIO Guard to Kent State to stop the students protesting the Vietnam War and the draft? That disaster resulted in four students getting killed and others wounded when they were fired upon.

People are realizing after the Supreme Court (which is a joke now) made Trump a “king” is now free to abuse his power, break the law and not follow the Constitution.  Trump loves to create chaos and destruction so he can claim he fixed the problem

Voters are realizing they were duped but have the power to right the wrong by voting for people that will work on their behalf and not the politicians bowing to Trump.  The world can see what a mess our country has become especially when Trump gets played by Putin.  So let’s do make America Great by booting out all the cowards in congress.
