Penny earned

Does anyone really believe that getting rid of the penny will benefit you? Not going to happen. All that will happen is all businesses will round up your cost, so instead of your lunch bill bring $12.02 it will become $12.05. Now apply that rounding up to every item you purchase at the grocery store. Don’t be fooled you’re losing buying power. A penny saved is till a penny earned.

Trust-fund babies

In their hyperbolic, shrill response to DOGE exposures and President Trump’s breakneck pace, Democrats are revealing what’s really at their core. They decry the loss of tax and spend without accountability. They are unconcerned about our national debt rising to the stratosphere. They are morbidly afraid of just how much is being and will be revealed.

Make it public

I think that the names of the senators and representatives that sponsor all of the idiotic wasteful spending should be published so the voters would know.

Crisis

The only “Constitutional Crisis” I know of is having a feeble, and obviously mentally deficient, old man serving as President for four years.

All for Russia

Once again, President Trump is bowing to Vladimir Putin, approving giving Ukraine territories to Russia. Remember, the war was started for this reason. He seems to be intervening on issues that he can take credit for without doing any work of diplomacy.

Ukraine

What in the world is President Trump talking about when he says that it wasn’t a good idea for the Ukraine to get into a war? Does he not remember that the Russian military showed up at their borders and began to attack them? What choice did the Ukraine have but to defend themselves. Even a kindergartner understands that when someone attacks you, you need to defend. Is Trump that stupid?

Tariffs

Before you celebrate President Trump’s tariffs be aware that your favorite shopping venues like Temu, Shein and even Amazon costs will go up for you, not down.
