The very wealthiest of Americans are not making money from work. Their wealth grows by capital appreciation, and they pay very little tax on that income. The estate tax is supposed to capture this at death, but it is riddled with loopholes.
It’s extremely unfair and makes the national debt worse.

Trump and his supporters grossly exaggerated political corruption and falsely called things corruption that were not. Trump was supposed to drain the swamp of corruption and clean the government. Instead, he has made the United States the swamp he and his supporters claimed it was.

The Bible doesn’t clearly support liberal or conservative ideology. It is written in different times by different authors, it contradicts itself, it doesn’t line up with any modern ideology, and doesn’t clearly give direction on most, if any, modern political issues.

At the nation’s founding, the Bible was not the most quoted text. This claim comes from a study that includes a lot of sermons reprinted on pamphlets, so, every time a religious sermon was printed on a pamphlet, which happened a lot back then, that counted as quoting the Bible. Additionally, these weren’t founding fathers quoting the Bible, but preachers preaching.
The most cited authors at the time of the founding were: Montesquieu, Blackstone, and Locke.
The period when the US Constitution was drafted has the lowest church attendance in US history.
The Federalists did not cite the Bible at all around the founding. The Anti-Federalists cited the Bible as nine percent of their citations. The Federalists, those who wrote the Constitution, did not cite the Bible when arguing for the Constitution. They believed in separation of church and state.
Christianity is a deep part of American culture and history, but people falsely exaggerate its direct role in the founding of the country.
Many state governments violated the principles of separation of state and church, but when the founders, who were sent by the states, came together to make a Constitution, they left such violations out of the new federal government and forbade acts that would create an established religion.

So many days of unprecedented corruption in the Trump administration, and lots of people don’t care or are in denial.

ICE officer reports discrimination against him by ICE and other ICE officers. An ICE officer said that criminal investigations, including reports of pedofilic activity, were dropped to focus on deportations. An officer said that many Border Patrol agents are not properly trained and led to do internal deportations. An officer said that connections in surge cities were damaged by deportation surges, making criminal investigations more difficult.

North Korea has put into law that if its leader is killed in an attack, it will start launching nukes.
North Korea is still building more nukes and their nuclear missiles can reach the US. North Korea is determined to keep its nukes to defend the regime’s survival.

For a long time, a lot of people who really just wanted a smaller government pretended to care about debt (or fooled themselves into thinking they cared about debt).
Three quarters of US government spending make the federal government an insurance company with an army. As a percentage of the total spending, waste fraud and abuse is very small. DOGE was a failure because it didn’t understand the US federal government. If you want to significantly reduce spending, you have to stop sending Americans checks (like Medicare and Social Security), or/and have to weaken the military, although the check cutting part is much bigger than the military spending part.
Republican politicians used to lie, or be misinformed, by saying that tax cuts pay for themselves; now they lie, or are misinformed, by saying Trump won the 2020 election (he did not). It’s hard to make a tough compromise under such politics.
