Elon Musk

Elon Musk is one of richest and smartest people on the planet. The world depends on SpaceX and Starlink. The only ones complaining are the Democrats.

He’s in charge?

So the guy with the exploding cars and exploding rockets is in charge of chopping our federal government to death?

Kanye West

Kanye West, by his own public statements, is clearly an egoist, narcissist, self proclaimed racist and anti-Semite who is enamored with Adolph Hitler. He’s also dominating and exploiting his “wife” Bianca Censori for shock, publicity and money. The question should be why any corporations, bankers, marketers and such engage in business with him.

Gaza

So, Trump has proposed that the US take over Gaza, kick all of the inhabitants out, and develop the area to become “the Riviera of the Middle East.” Trump has spent his life developing land and building, including many resorts. Does anyone see that he wants to get his hands on Gaza for his own personal benefits?

Middle East madness

Donald Trump has made a thinly veiled proposal to rid Israel of the Palestinians under the guise of creating the Middle East Riviera. Are we supposed to support ethnic cleansing now? What happened to his insistence that we would not be “nation building” ever again, and if he has finally gone completely insane, how do we tell?

DOGE

At best, I fear President Trump and Elon Musk are throwing out the baby with the bath water.

Drug plans

Have you ever tried to navigate through all the drug company drug plans? It’s a nightmare. They work together to keep prices the same, preventing low-cost competitors.
