Is this what you call "Woke"? Stop drinking the kool-aid.....
Maybe it has nothing to do with woke but more the fact people like you are asleep.
My tax dollars should not go to teach others about being homosexuals, trans, etc... That is not feeding people that is indoctrinating people. It is sad and evil. I donate to my church our reach programs and to missionaries that actually feed people, dig wells, build churches, etc... actually helping people. Not send tax dollars all over the globe so many funnels back into the hands of their children and other corrupt politicians' hands. Our law makers don't have our best interests in mind do you actually think they have the world's best interests in mind? They are out for themselves. See Hunter Biden. I want to keep more of my own hard earned tax dollars, and I can find better ways to invest it, spend it, and to donate it than our politicians can.

He cut woke programs not feeding people. Turn off MSNBC and walk away slowly.
So making the decision to purposely deny feeding children to prevent them from starving is your idea of "waste and fraud"?
Out for themselves? Trump created his own crypto and just signed legislation into law to help him line his own pockets. Dear Lord man do you keep up with anything?
Please show anywhere that USAID funds were funneled back into the pockets corrupt politicians or their children. Please stop making incoherent rants long enough to focus and stay on topic. That's what a discussion is supposed to look like.

You have to remember they believe that only Republican voters are "The American people". I mean that's the kind of BS Memphis just posted. It's Twitterverse news.

Trump threatens stadium deal over Commanders' name
CLEVELAND -- President Donald Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington's NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins, which is considered offensive to Native Americans.
Trump also said Sunday that he wants Cleveland's baseball team to revert to its former name, the Indians, saying there was a "big clamoring for this" as well.
The Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians have had their current names since their respective seasons in 2022, and both have said that they don't plan to change them back.
Trump said that the Commanders would be "much more valuable" if they restored their old name.
"I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,' I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington," Trump said on his social media site.
His latest interest in changing the names reflects his broader effort to roll back changes that followed a national debate on cultural sensitivity and racial justice. Washington announced it would drop its former name and logo in 2020 during a broader reckoning with systemic racism and police brutality.
The Commanders and the District of Columbia government announced a deal earlier this year to build a new home for the football team at the site of the old RFK Stadium, the place the franchise called home for more than three decades.
Trump's ability to hold up the deal remains to be seen. President Joe Biden signed a bill in January that transferred the land from the federal government to the District of Columbia.
The provision was part of a short-term spending bill passed by Congress in December. Though D.C. residents elect a mayor, a city council and commissioners to run day-to-day operations, Congress maintains control of the city's budget.
Josh Harris, whose group bought the Commanders from former owner Dan Snyder in 2023, said earlier this year that the name was here to stay. Not long after taking over, Harris quieted speculation about going back to the former name, saying that would not happen. The team did not immediately respond to a request for comment after Trump's social media posts Sunday.
The Washington team started in Boston as the Redskins in 1933 before moving to the nation's capital four years later.
Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti indicated before Sunday's game against the Athletics that there weren't any plans to revisit the name change.
"We understand there are different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago, but obviously, it's a decision we made. We've got the opportunity to build a brand as the Guardians over the last four years and are excited about the future that's in front of us," he said.
Cleveland announced in December 2020 that it would drop its Indians nickname. It announced the switch to Guardians in July 2021. In 2018, the team phased out "Chief Wahoo" as its primary logo.
The name changes had their share of supporters and critics as part of the national discussions about logos and names considered racist.
Trump posted Sunday afternoon that "The Owner of the Cleveland Baseball Team, Matt Dolan, who is very political, has lost three Elections in a row because of that ridiculous name change. What he doesn't understand is that if he changed the name back to the Cleveland Indians, he might actually win an Election. Indians are being treated very unfairly. MAKE INDIANS GREAT AGAIN (MIGA)!"
Matt Dolan, the son of late owner Larry Dolan, no longer has a role with the Guardians. He ran the team's charity endeavors until 2016.
Matt Dolan was a candidate in the Ohio U.S. Senate elections in 2022 and 2024, but lost.
Washington and Cleveland share another thing in common: David Blitzer is a member of Harris' ownership group with the Commanders and holds a minority stake in the Guardians.
Another culture war distraction. People that support capitalism and a free market system, people that say government should stay out of restricting business.... will either remain silent or support this. The rules always change when it's something they don't like. They only want the things they disagree with threatened and canceled. Then cancel culture works in their favor so it's all good.

I used to go to multiple Indians games a year and watch almost every night on STO. I have not followed the Guardians. never have and never will. If they were to change their name back, I would instantly become a fan again. Not until then or not ever. That is fine with me. When the Browns left Cleveland in 96, I did not watch an NFL game again until they returned in 99. If they would not have returned, I would just be a college football fan at this point.

If I were that much of a snowflake, if a simple name change caused me to turn my back totally on a team I followed faithfully for decades, I would not embarrass myself to the point of proclaiming it, and even seemingly being proud of that in public. So many people get so butt hurt over the most superficial things. My guess is they don't miss you. Your tantrum is only depriving you of the game and team you used to love. Over a name.

That is fine they don't miss me. They never done anything for me anyway. It was a source of entertainment I choose to spend time and money on. They bowed to the woke mob and I choose to not spend time and money on that product anymore.

I ain’t taking the bait on his culture war stuff. He puts out a lot of headlines meant to distract. I think we need to laser focus on the Epstein 180. The more I read into the depositions and documents that are already out there, the worse it gets.
That ain’t about Trump alone either. It’s about a whole bunch of people. He’s just one.
Edit - I want to be clear that I wasn’t singling you out for posting it…just that I know why he put those “Truths” out there.

I don't really blame you. That's why I pointed out it was nothing but a distraction he was using. I'm just having some fun with someone proving just how right that was. I expected one of the usual suspects to come along and try to make a legitimate issue out of it. And Wah lah there it is! That's how he gets over. Some of his base is so easily enraged and distracted by superficial things. I give you example A here.
I have no doubt that each side has reasons to protect their own in regards to Epstein. I have no idea if trump is on a list or not. But I would be willing to bet there are powerful people on both sides included. That's just how things work. Neither side has some monopoly or patent on decency. There's scum on both sides. I don't care whether that scum has an R or a D attached to their names. I want pedophiles found, exposed and to pay for their crimes. It's as simple as that. The current shell game this administration is playing over the issue is a carnival sideshow however.

My favorite charities are Ronald McDonald House and the local food bank. I try to impact hunger more in the 50 mile radius of where I live, and don't kid yourself, we ship plenty of food overseas.
It's interesting you mention battling hunger. Part of the DOGE cuts involved stopping food shipments overseas... just to end up letting 500 tons expire and have to incinerate it. An example of saving money and putting America first would've been to prioritize getting that food into hungry Americans' hands.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
Show your work. Thousands have already died due to USAID funding being cut off. Your come back? But I give to The Ronald McDonald House. Who is this "we" you speak of? Come on man. trump decided that allowing children to die was a way to cut wasteful spending. You either agree with that or you don't.
You forgot the local food bank.
I don't agree with your posed question of either you agree or don't agree, but if that is the narrow minded question you want to pose, then I agree.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
Forgot my local food bank? No, actually I have shown how he cut funding to them as well. Did you forget about that? As for myself I give to both the local Second Harvest food bank as well as WCK. People are starving everywhere.There's nothing narrow minded about that question as much as you would like to paint it otherwise. USAID directly fed starving children. Now rather than distribute that food to starving children it rotted in a warehouse. That's disgusting at any level. And people are dying. You know as well as I do it's as simple as that.

Not sure whats worse ... That they're right and thats a tax Increase of $100B for the population ..... Or that they are simply lying again and the Trumptards lap it up.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
It means they collected more additional taxes from American consumers in tariffs than they gave Americans in their tax cuts. Give you a dollar in one hand while they take five dollars out of the other hand. And then brag about it like that's a good thing. And his supporters jump for joy.

I said nothing about any cans of beans you give to your food bank. I was talking about you mocking my giving to the Ronald McDonald house and not mentioning my giving to the local food bank.
Plus, you are naive to where USAID gave most of the money. It was more of a money laundering operation than anything else.

And there you go again - critical thinking out the window and here you are either regugitating right wing nonsense or simply lying to be a troll. Either way it's not a good look. There is precisely zero evidence of what you claim on ANY scale let alone it being a large or significant proportion of the budget. In reality spending $21B around the globe - I bet some tiny % ended up being spent on things it was not and never intended for. In exactly the same way that some of the $6.75T federal budget was no doubt stolen/misappropriated/mistakenly wasted.
We all thought you were better than this Peen - but with each week it seems you intend to prove we were wrong.
