@@jenniferfalcone6173True! With the exception of one celebrity obsessed, lesbian and failed author who has the most severe case of TDS I’ve ever seen, every Democrat I know, many who had TDS in 2016, realize they were wrong and are voting Trump this year. My respect to them. Not everyone sees the problems first hand and have to be exposed to something or realize their cognitive bias to the media which just brainwashing them, to change so drastically, which isn’t easy to do psychologically so good on them. My worry is, will the polls be monitored by any real Republicans? Other than about 5-6 Republican senators like Cruz and Kennedy need to stand up and back this man more. They sit around yapping all day then are shocked when the Dems do whatever it takes to win, including manipulating the polls, using AI, and murder.

Trump has promised to tackle growing inflation and lower everyday costs of necessities like groceries and gas for Americans if he wins the November election. The ex-president visited the local store and took home a large bag of popcorn ahead of his rally in Indiana, Pa., later that day. He also held a town hall with local farmers in Smithton, Pa., earlier Monday, homing in on towns near Pittsburgh in the key battleground state.

[@cashaeleatemla]

Former President Donald Trump gave a Pennsylvania mom of three $100 toward her groceries during a campaign stop Monday while promising to lower supermarket prices if he’s re-elected to the White House. A video shared by his campaign team shows Trump handing a bill to a woman checking out at the grocery store, Sprankle’s Neighborhood Market, in Kittanning, Pa., as cameras surround the Republican nominee for president.

I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.

[@JohnStafford10]

In the 80's my Dad worked a modest job, Mom stayed at home and raised the kids, and they lived a nice middle class lifestyle including owning a home. Nowadays both I and my partner works and can barely afford to make ends meet. Soon the kids and family dog will need to work to keep this household going. It's the destruction of the American dream right before our eyes.
