I intended to post a a long rant on your message board last night, which I've not done in a while, but was too tired and back to the office grind now.
Briefly, and from personal knowledge, the biggest issue around here, which I know comes as no surprise, is the current economics for many folks and it is dire. I just speak with so many people these days that are really struggling to make ends meet. I don't think they exaggerate that they are near homeless.
Meanwhile, all they seem to talk of on the Hill is how much more they can send to overseas warfare and the conditions precedent to do so (which is not directly helping citizens .... but rather tying in the border fiasco)
The triggering event .... on the way home last nite, I heard a clip of our buddy Mitch McConnell speaking of the necessity for billions more to Ukraine and Israel , something about how this was the utmost important issue since the fall of the Berlin wall. after talking to someone who says they near losing their home, hearing Mitch really ticked me off!
That's the essence of populism, jwslaw. Priorities. Taking care of your own home first. America's roof is collapsing, and the children are starving. And our leaders are running around the neighborhood, feeding the neighbors' kids, and fixing their roofs. Usually after blowing them off first. McConnell is as bad as they come- he also has a Chinese wife with questionable connections. And yet he is the leader of the "opposition" party. This is why America First still resonates with so many people. It's simple common sense. Thanks!
(I am doing too many comments perhaps here) still, Robert Malone who calls himself the inventor of mrna took two shots himself. now becoming a poster boy for the 'oppositon'. the more we know about those animal studies the more we know they knew how undafe and ineffective , nay, a bioweapon, it was . same as Al (dont use electricity is kills polar bears) Gore and his magic christmas tree all year round mansion. Hypocrisy to High Heaven (Hellbound0, as Jesus Christ callled them out on.
Thanks, jwslaw.

So many people I know are talking the same things... can't pay the rent, can't pay utilities.
