So you think we'd be in a better boat with Kammy/ Tim? Did people honestly think Trump could turn this ship around in 2 months? Who do you think would have been better to vote for? Why does Musk have to leave? No, he's not making Trump look bad, Dems are if you listen to them. I don't get Americans sometimes. Musk is showing millions of TAX dollars that the Dems have just smoked away. Just incredible abuses and y'all look at Musk and say "get that guy" !!! I think these blasted Dems should be tarred and feathered for raping the tax paying people of this country. But you all are focused on Musk. Unreal. I hope you're just having a bad day and come round to common sense again.
Kamala would have been a disaster. Yeah, sort of focused on Musk. Still have hope for Trump. One thing is for sure, he is a very interesting president.

Another false dichotomy. You are claiming that we can either indoctrinate them with gayness or teach them all Christianity.

The third option is teach them the stuff they're supposed to be taught in school like math and Reading and stuff

Also, stop erasing stuff like slavery from the history books because kids should be taught what happened and the negative repercussions behind it

The fourth and correct option is school choice and let parents decide who and what they want their children to be taught. Because public schools get a consistent F, because they aren't teaching reading and stuff. And nobody is erasing slavery. They just aren't willing to line up white kids on one side of the room and tell them they are the oppressors and the black kids the victims. Dems have blacks on the plantation, it's just in a different location. Don't act like libs give a tinkers dang about black kids. If they can't kill them with abortions they let them be gunned down in the streets or sent to prison. They could care less until it comes time to vote. Then you better get your black self in line and vote Dem.

Well they aren't done, they are dragging her giggling self out again. Musk is temporary, as is DOGE. I don't know if Trump can turn this around, but he's gonna give it a he$$ of a try. But the Dems :poop:-ed on every part of this country. Short of a miracle, I don't know if it can be saved. I know this, if America falls, tell your unsaved loved ones and friends to get in the boat. The Lords return will be imminent.

My goodness, both Biden and Trump have a responsibility here. It’s been two presidents ruining this country before #47. Both #45 and #46.

#42, 43 and # 44 didn’t do no good either.
Well, here's the issue. Obama was before Trump, Biden was after. When it's driven off into the ditch so deeply, twice, you gotta get that sucker back out. And they sure didn't make it easy.

I'm by no means an expert on this subject but I do understand a few things.

The current direction of our economy and national debt is not sustainable. There has to be change or eventually inflation will cause riots and economic collapse once essentials become too expensive.

Tariffs are good at forcing other countries to equal trade deals. They also create an incentive for businesses to return or invest in our economy to bypass the tariffs on imports. I saw recently that Trump is also giving a gold card incentive to bring in foreign investors.

The race has begun to control the newly accessed waterway of the artics and it has become increasingly aware that we should be striving to become a majority self-reliant country.

We must drill our own oil and rare minerals, sell to Europe to wean them off of Russian oil, and wean us off of the Chinese rare mineral monopoly. As to why a mineral deal in Ukraine would be great. If we could set up a base in Greenland to help defend the Arctic waterways, that would also help secure future trade routes.

We recently bombed the Houthis because they were attacking and disrupting a major trade route in the Red Sea.

I read somewhere that 25% of US GDP is traded goods compared to the world average of 59%. That alone gives us leverage to strong-arm better trade and a buffer for economic consumers.

As for government waste and government spending budgets, they have only tiptoed into the pool of waste that needs to be eliminated. 14 trillion dollars in debt, we can not keep spending and wasting money on departments or programs that statistically or in common sense have failed or were useless from the beginning.

Our government is bloated and the military has been hijacked by DEI, LGBT, and One World Order sympathizers.

Overall, tariffs are a great start for long-term success. Now we wait to see if Congress can do its job and secure tax breaks and eliminate the Department of Education.

Unfortunately, the long term is only sustainable with a long-term plan. A 4-year term may not be long enough to slow the train down and back it up from the cliff.

Short-term fixes and temporary comfort buys votes. No one wants to work hard and suffer the toil of hard work. We want to place the band-aids over the bullet wounds and immediately look away.

It is time we suffer for a while to give our kids and grandkids a chance at life, liberty, and the road to prosperity.

Outstanding post. Couldn't add a thing to it.

Can you provide any citations in which a black mother was forced to abort her child? If not your argument falls flat on that one.
The mother made that decision on her own.

Regarding gang violence, do you expect Democrats to be like excuse me gangs if you don't mind so much could you stop killing each other? I'm sure they will comply immediately

I'd watch what I was saying. God is listening. And you just accused a lot of people unjustly.
I'm just speaking on the people I have interacted with here on this forum. That's why I blocked ZNP. For disrespecting me and implying that I'm lazy and don't work when I work two jobs

The whole MAGA cult is based hate .
How?

They claim to be all about Jesus and stuff but vote for people who want to cut programs that help poor Americans
Factually untrue. Conservatives want to stop people from taking from those who really need help. But they don't believe in cradle to grave gov't handouts. If people medically need help, if they are old and need help, yes. But there is a whole lot of fraud going on. Dems are the ones who got us to this place. Hold them accountable.

The reason healthcare is so expensive in the first place is because there are laws in place that allow the healthcare industry to legally price gouge. Neither Democrats or Republicans have addressed this issue

You don't want to start down this road with me. Dems calculated to cut the population of blacks and they did with Planned Parenthood, which Margret Sanger started. They rounded up the black preachers and told them a lie. They're still doing it today. They tell black women the best thing they can do is abort their child. They make sure they are the center of where poor black women live. They have had a hold on the black population so long it's not even questioned. Black babies are 4x more likely to be aborted. And yes, black mothers were sterilized not too long ago in this country against their will. It's just the Dems are more insidious now and they are better at hiding it. They are slick with their marketing and blacks are under such a hold of these sick/evil Dems they don't even realize they are killing off their own race. If they continue at this rate they won't have enough people to even make up a minority in this country. 110% thanks to the Dems!!!!

Dems are doing everything they can possibly do to start a race war. As far as gangs, they let them run the streets. If they gave a dam% about the blacks like they pretend they do they would put a stop to the crime running wild in the streets. They don't because they don't care if they kill themselves. Abortion on one end, gangs on the other. Some blacks are waking up and getting off the plantations. I hope a lot more will.

You're disconnected from reality. Planned Parenthood has never forced a single black mother to abort her child. That's a decision the mother makes on her own

We've gotten heated, yet I have respected you for years on here. We go a long way back. And I have PMed you, I have asked you how you are when I knew you were having hard times. So make clear you're speaking of some people. Don't lump people together. Over the years you and I have agreed on a good deal of things.

Yes I appreciate you being civil with me. There are at least a few people here who aren't complete edge Lords

Planned Parenthood was Sangers "baby" and black mothers were sterilized against their will. And as I said, that wasn't long ago. Dems and PP and the KKK have gone hand in hand for many years. Slick campaigning has kept them under the spell of PP. It's getting to the point that more black babies are being aborted than born. And it's all at the door of Dems, especially black Dem women in power who feed this lie to black women. Their hands are full of blood. There's a reason Hillary said Sanger was her mentor and refused to back down from her comment.

Margaret Sanger has been deceased for 60 years.
Also I think this is the third time I've asked. Can you provide a single citation of planned Parenthood forcing a black mother to abort her child?
