As a businessman, Trump left a long list of bankruptcies, failed businesses and legal penalties in his wake. Making a “deal” with Trump is risky, at best. Trump has personalized American trade policy. It’s no long what’s good for America, it’s who Trump does or doesn’t “like.”| “Trump also seemed to put a greater priority […]
As taken from Health Affairs. This report magnifies the impact of Trump and the Republican piece of garbage healthcare bill. A bill which targets those who have low income, are older, and make more than the 400-percent-of-the-federal-poverty-level subsidy cliff. The subsidy increase about 500% FPL was to help more people, families, and older people qualify […]
I am fortunate enough to be able to access some sites for this type of information and opinion. I have not seen a faux arrest of a person much less of a Senator. It is getting interesting and serious when a appointed department head can force an elected official out of a press conference using […]
We already knew that Trump has called soldiers who died in service “suckers” and “chumps.” “Doctors at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals nationwide could refuse to treat unmarried veterans and Democrats under new hospital guidelines imposed following an executive order by Donald Trump. “The new rules, obtained by the Guardian, also apply to psychologists, […]

This sort of viewpoint discrimination is a sign of weakness. Only a feeble nation would interrogate travelers this way. “An Australian man who was detained upon arrival at Los Angeles airport and deported back to Melbourne says United States border officials told him it was due to his writing on pro-Palestine protests by university students.

From a couple of days ago. Been too busy trying to get the VA to recognize that my years at Camp Lejeune created some major health issue for myself as well as others. They would rather keep denying it with the hope I and others will die soon. Those of us from the sixties are […]
The law is the law. For me, it is difficult to believe one person (even if the president can continuously usurp the law by appealing to higher authorities each and every time. If it were you or I, this nonsense would come to a swift end. Trump needs to be told no, no more appeals. […]
I did this a couple of years ago. What you are looking at is the current Student Loan Debt carried by former students. Also included is the ages of each group of students. I am using 2025 Quarter 1 numbers owed for the 50- to 61-year-old former students and also the 62 and older students. […]
