Trips to the Golf Course, A $200 Million White House Ballroom, Concentration Camps: Are These Your Values

President Joe Biden repeatedly said during his time in public service:

“Don't tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you value.”

Well after seven months of the Trump/Vance regime, it should be very easy to determine what their values are and, newsflash, they are not about protecting and helping you unless you are a member of the Fortune 500. 

According to Rolling Stone Magazine, Mr. Trump wasted ten million of American Taxpayer dollars journeying to Scotland and giving the likely unconstitutional bill to the American People while he opened up a new Trump golf course. 

Since his return in January, Mr. Trump's forays to Trump Properties where he cheated at golf 47 out of his first 195 days of his second term on the American Taxpayer dime has amounted, according to the latest reporting, to about $68 million

People should ask, how much of that 78 million could have funded food assistance for needy children. 

How many Rural Hospitals would be able to remain open? 

How many people could have received housing assistance for that amount? 

Then there is the announcement of a $200 million White House Ballroom expansion that would supposedly be paid by Mr. Trump and private donors who suck up to him. 

How about those private donors donating to Head Start programs or Salvation Army and other local food banks? That would be a better use of private donor and eventually, taxpayer money, than building a "Let them eat cat" ballroom that is not needed for the White House.

Finally, there are the billions approved for tax cuts for the rich that they do not need and the construction, by private prison donors to the Felon in Chief, of concentration camps to house illegal immigrants and potentially others to be determined by Trump, Tom Homan, and Kapo Stephen Miller where no one is allowed to see what is going on inside them without giving the guards a 72 hour heads up. 

Are you scared yet? 

You should be. 

All those dollars to those misplaced values at the expense of people about to be pushed off Medicaid, the Obamacare-Affordable Health Care Marketplace, and SNAP-Food Assistance. 

All those dollars to those twisted and sick Fascist values at the expense of good clean energy blue and green collar jobs, mostly in red states.

All those dollars to those twisted and sick Fascist values at the expense of people about to get shoved out of their rural hospital beds and about to lose their number one source of information: their local PBS station.

All those dollars to those twisted and sick Fascist values at the expense of people who can not get disaster relief funding because the current regime thinks FEMA and Weather Warning Systems are unnecessary and climate change is not real.

The American People have to ask themselves: Are these your values? Is this what you want the country to be all about?

If not. There are elections to do something about it. 

Vote for the people that share your values. Not the ones who spit on them. 

Do Not Let MAGA Rewrite History and Never Forget Donald Trump Was Impeached Twice

In an apparent buckling down to pressure from the fascist-history attacking regime of the twice impeached and convicted felon current occupant of the Oval Office, the Smithsonian Institute, according to reporting from the Washington Post and New York Times, removed an exhibit at the American History Museum that referenced Mr. Trump's two impeachments, saying it was temporary and they intended to update it with another attraction that referenced the 45th Chief Executive's offenses.

Of course, the prior exhibit that chronicled the impeachment pushes towards Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton was still available for viewing. 

Do not be surprised if the update the Museum spokespeople said would include Mr. Trump's two impeachments is not presented until after his reign ends. 

This is another example of the war on knowledge including history and science from this Know Nothing Fascist Project 2025 government and a continuation of conservative and MAGA elements trying to whitewash the uglier episodes of this nation's past ranging from perpetuating the institution of slavery to the persecution of Native Americans to the Jim Crow era in the states of the former Confederacy. 

Never forget Donald Trump is the first occupant of the Oval Office to be impeached twice. 

Never forget he is a convicted felon. 

Never forget he is an adjudicated sex offender. 

Never forget he is a traitor that enabled a domestic terrorist attack on the Nation's Capitol on January 6, 2021. 

He is the Liar and Felon in Chief. 

Too many American Citizens forgot these facts when going to the polls in 2024. 

Never Forget. 

Do not let them get away with erasing our history. 

Do not let MAGA and the Know Nothing Project 2025 Fascist bastards rewrite it.
