A bunch of Fox News reporters are in charge of our nukes.

Trump just ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing, a move that could reignite a dangerous global arms race.

He's also furloughed nearly all federal workers responsible for overseeing and safeguarding America's nuclear stockpile.

As Mamdani has said, some billionaires are spending more than they’d be taxed in opposition to his campaign. They are scared of losing the narrative and being able to force their ideologies by dividing people with hate and fear.

When modern Christians say “it’s not the government’s job to help the poor,” they’re not echoing Jesus, Paul, the prophets, or the early church.

They’re echoing figures like Ayn Rand, who despised Christianity’s communal ethic of compassion and called altruism a “moral evil.”

If you don’t see church leaders in red states pushing back or publicly denouncing Republican Governors decision to not help those on SNAP, then it shows you how far removed the teachings of the Bible have become for MAGA Christianity.

While Trump is overseas, JD Vance is hanging out in Mississippi at a Turning Point college tour during a government shutdown. You’d think he’d be working to get the government back open, but he sees his dear leader physically falling apart and is prepping to take over with a supportive following.

The Turning Point College tour is just an extension of the cult like following of Young Life from high school. A journalist should do a deep dive into that sub culture.

The South has been Republican controlled for a long time. One must ask why people in the South struggle more than most states and why the party that claims to staunchly follow Christianity seems to always do opposite of what Jesus would do.

addition to the lack of federal SNAP
funds, Republican governors in Tennessee, Arkansas and Mississippi have all said they won't use state funds to supplement the
program. Other states have committed to using state money, including Minnesota, where Democratic Gov. Tim Walz authorized $4 million in emergency funding.
As of September 2025, Tennessee has 690,629 SNAP recipients. Shelby County has by far the largest number of recipients in the state, with more than 152,000 receiving SNAP benefits.
Nashville's Davidson County is second with about 60,000 recipients.

Purest corruption. Unusual Machines is at least the second company that appears to have activated an advisory board specifically placing TrumpJr on the board in Nov 2024—and granting him shares worth millions—then announcing at least $15.2 mn in military-linked orders all noncompetitive.

After Unusual Machines Names Donald Trump Jr. To New Advisory Board, Defense Contracts Follow

Donald Trump Jr. once mocked Hunter Biden's "no-show no-experience board seats." Now he's on his second newly activated advisory board—and that company just announced $15 million in contracts.

“.. The republican party has claimed that one of its primary goals .. is to bring manufacturing jobs back to America. However, as is the case with many of its claimed goals, the policy it implements acts directly against those goals.”

Trump wants to sell Nvidia’s Blackwell AI chips to please Xi Jinping. That’s absurd.

These chips will turbocharge China’s military weapons and surveillance systems.

That’s not “America First.”

It’s putting our national security at risk.

While corporate media is a large part to blame, the amount of local GOP operatives in communities that pushed false information on local social media or put ads in community magazines claiming Harris was going to take away their guns shouldn’t be overlooked.

Trump supporters aren’t going to wake up until they financially hit rock bottom. The insurance increase notices going out in the mail throughout the country should be a wake up call before midterms to everyone who voted for Trump and everyone who didn’t get out to vote.
