Are You Kidding Me?

The Trump Administration Would Rather Throw Food Away Than Feed the Poor!

The U.S. plans to destroy around 500 metric tons of rice—alongside other emergency food aid—because of logistical issues that stalled its delivery. The food, originally intended for regions like Afghanistan and Pakistan, couldn't be distributed due to an aid freeze. Now, much of it is either expired or no longer safe to use. There’s significant opposition to this destruction, especially from humanitarian organizations who see it as wasteful. Critics argue that this food could have been redirected to other regions in need if handled differently. The cost of destroying it adds to the frustration, as taxpayers already covered the purchase. Could feed 4500 kids for a year #newsheadlines , #blackmba , #naacp, #homeless ,#entrepreneur #povertyalleviation , #truth , #shorts, @waltweekly, @Justinswiney

Trump and the Cowardly Republicans Are Fooling You

The Big Beautiful Bill Is a Scam!!!! 

In this conversation, host Walter Latham discusses the implications of a recent partisan bill passed by the House of Representatives, focusing on the significant cuts to social programs such as Medicaid and food stamps. He argues that these cuts disproportionately affect white individuals and highlights the broader socioeconomic issues at play, framing the situation as a transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich. Latham emphasizes the need for awareness and action among listeners as the political landscape shifts towards authoritarianism.

If you look at the Big Beautiful Bill, you will see that there is a massive transfer of funds from the poor to the rich. On top of that, Elon is coming out about the increase in the deficit of between 2-4 trillion.

It dawned on me that Trump, Don Jr, and Eric, are like Saddam Hussein and his sons, Uday and Qusay.
