President-elect

Here’s the thing folks seem not to understand: Nobody is being tricked by Donald Trump. We’ve all seen him in action — we’ve got four years of him as president to go by. And a majority of the population wants him as president. And not only that, the voters showed what they think of the Democrats by giving the Republicans the House and Senate, too.

Project 2025

Donald Trump continues to lie to the masses. After claiming he knows nothing about far-right Project 2025, he wants its writer appointed as his Chief of Management and Budget. The lies never stop. When will people recognize who he really is?
