Gaza

President Trump is offering a solution that has been needed in the Middle East for decades. War will only continue there is something isn’t done. Got a better idea? Email the President.

USPS reversal

The USPS reversed its decision to suspend China’s incoming packages, relieving the fear of MAGA merchandise being blocked from entering the country. Even though it’s going to be more expensive due to the tariff, people can still buy them, and best of all, the ballooning profit margin resulting from the tariff can still be realized by DJT Enterprises.

Great work

Excellent job by the President in torching the market in order to get Mexico and Canada to commit to things that ... they each already committed to under President Biden. Art of the Deal and all that, you know.

Insurance

State Farm wants to raise their fee by 22%. Why? They aren’t going to pay out for any claims anyway. I’ve had them for 40 years and I made my first claim last year when something tore through my roof. They asked me what did it and foolishly I said I don’t know, maybe an animal or a person. Well without even coming to inspect my roof they denied my claim stating that an animal did it and that is not covered unless I can prove it was a bear. I told them to prove that it wasn’t a bear but of course I lost. Insurance, such a scam.

Give Trump a chance

President Trump has made remarkable progress in addressing many of our nation’s challenges in a short amount of time. Unlike many politicians who make grand promises only to forget them once in office, he is one of the few presidents who is actually delivering on his campaign commitments. From strengthening the economy to prioritizing national security, his results speak for themselves. If the “Never Trumpers” would set aside their biases and give him a fair chance, they might be surprised by his effectiveness. His leadership and determination to put America first have already made a significant impact, and with continued support, his success will only grow.

C’mon, China

Come on, China. Just pretend you’re doing something you’ve already been doing, like Mexico and Canada did.

USAID

Secretary Rubio is doing the work that America has needed for decades. USAID was a rouge agency, giving our money away without oversight.
