Although my personal experience won't have any effect on your view, from my perspective you are elitist, cruel and unrealistic - not a leader.

I make 100% of the food that I eat - almost every item on your McDonalds diet I have never eaten and never plan to.

My groceries cost over 100% compared with last year - raw ingredients costs rise offsets your McDonalds diet making it cheaper to use less fuel and time while consuming inferior and often plainly bad "food".

Your poor ideas for the poors is blatant. You might have even paid for a masters, I would believe that.

*** Israeli Nat'l Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir: "Lebanon is Israel's Playground" ***

"Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who relishes the thought of executing Palestinian youths being tortured in IDF prisons, rejected a potential ceasefire in Lebanon, saying that Lebanon should instead be "Israel's playground."

This is the same maniac who suggested the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) should abduct Lebanese children and that "all of Lebanon must burn."

Over 3,500 people have been killed by the IDF in Lebanon; 400 are reported to be Lebanese Hezbollah guerillas resisting the IDF invasion. 1.4m Lebanese people have been displaced in what the UN calls a "humanitarian catastrophe."

Not withstanding Republican Party chicanery, US midterm elections are scheduled for Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Ohio (1970)

A comment from the video...

... 50 years ago today. RIP Jeffrey Glenn Miller, Allison B. Krause, William Knox Schroeder, and Sandra Lee Scheuer. ...

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
"Ohio" is a 1970 protest song composed by Neil Young in reaction to the Kent State shootings, and performed by the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young quartet.

The incident took place on May 4, 1970 and became a sociopolitical symbolization during the Vietnam War. The sequence of events led to a nationwide anti-establishment student strike, forcing hundreds of colleges and universities to close.

The song was recorded a mere 17 days after the incident and, according to the recording engineer Bill Halverson, was done in (at most) 3 takes "with live vocal and live harmonies and everybody chiming in".

Side Note: Due to its "anti-war" and "anti-establishment" sentiments, the song was banned from some AM playlists in the United States.

[Chorus]
Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio

[Verse]
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago

What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?

Speaking of numbers ...

Trump's newest obsession seems to be over the number 22 - but nobody knows what it means
www.independent.co.uk

... He has claimed the US destroyed 22 Iranian ships, said he proved 22 economists wrong and said he recently met with 22 medical specialists ...

He has also criticized The New York Times for placing a prescription drug story on page 22, complained that a hypothetical trip to Asia would require 22 hours of flying and referenced a swimming pool he constructed 22 years ago.

In some cases, the number has been used inaccurately. Trump stated the capital has 22 fountains; the city actually has 18.

At a Hanukkah reception in December, Trump said that U.S. pilots who took part in an attack on Iran told him: "We were practicing for 22 years."

On Sunday, the 80-year-old president wrote on Truth Social: "Lots of Killing going on in Chicago. 22 people shot." ...
