| Collapse all
- If we don't get to the bottom of what happened on November 3, 2020 ,then everything moving forward is illegitimate. Without fair elections, you have no freedoms.
- Big Techs censorship of information and the exchange of ideas must be stopped. This suppression has caused actual harm during the pandemic and given political advantage to one party over the other.
- Our three lettered agencies have become politicalized along with bureaucracies, this is causing fundamental cracks in our governments foundation. We must begin to repair our government before real change will occur.
Our own governments corruptions and the two-tiered justice system that's been allowed to form and is being propped-up by the Uniparty.
Failure of the Republican party leadership to recognize the Democratic Party for what it has become, an adversary to America and it her values. And the Republicans failure to defend their Parties votes.

I too suffer from Chronic Pain so I understand! This atrocity must stop.
If FA spending (minus a natural disaster) really helped the recipient nation, then these nations should be improving. Sadly FA is usually a quid pro quo to a dictator to force his hand. Instead of adding our FA to what these countries are spending themselves to provide for their people, the corrupt government usually pulls that money and only spends the U.S. FA on it citizens, and pockets theirs.
