The timing of the tariffs was a distraction

Specifically designed to divert everyone’s attention away from Musk’s takeover of the government payment system, as well as government databases, and websites.

Musk is in control now.

We are living the consequences of not regulating the internet & social medis

After WWII, Americans clearly understood the dangers of fascism and the Fairness Doctrine was created as a response.

Fast forward a few decades and the Fairness Doctrine was repealed by political partisans.

After that, when the internet and social media came into being, special interests blocked any meaningful regulation.

And now here we are, drowning in a cesspool of racism, misogyny and fascism, with a dictator wannabe soon to be in the White House, with who really knows, actually running our country.

We have forgotten that evil never takes a holiday and we must be ever vigilant.

America has a serious misogyny problem

Merely listening to the newly elected president and vice president more than proves the point.

We have very far to go.
