The country in the Middle East that begins with ‘I’ is doing 💩, and America is being used to stop it from getting whooped. My taxes are being wasted.

Why the government don’t help their own homeless people but help other countries wars?

As usual the media doesn't question our officials on the cost and whether its better to use that money on infrastructure here in the US. This is what they call free press

[Sharon-ozks]

The United States needs to stay out of foreign wars. Don't send Americans to fight someone else's wars. We're all paying for this, paying Ukraine, paying illegals. The government does not work for We The People

I was required to read The Diary of Anne Frank by middle school but I didn’t hear the word Nakba one time and was not taught ANY history of the modern middle east in 18 years of American public schooling, including getting a university degree in religion, until looking it up myself after Oct 7th.

Fool me once, shame on you…
I know who the liars are.
