Under no circumstances are the person who are paid to protect and serve innocent when protesters and demonstrators wind up dead because of those paid persons' actions.

Both cases were described as self-defense, and federal agents were not charged. If Alex Pretti and Renee Good were alive today, many are asking if they would be at the No Kings protests.

Not everybody fears the coming age of equality amongst the people.

Hundreds of K-12 students across the country have received detention or suspension after participating in classroom walkouts to protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) efforts.

Approximately 12.3% of American citizens qualified for free food through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in fiscal year 2024, which served an average of 41.7 million people.

Food-insecure households include those with low food security and very low food security. 13.5 percent (18.0 million) of U.S. households were food insecure at some time during 2023. The 2023 prevalence of food insecurity was statistically significantly higher than the 12.8 percent (17.0 million) in 2022.

Approximately 28% of SNAP recipients work full-time, though figures can vary depending on the data source and time period.

Some analyses found that around 70% of adult SNAP recipients worked full-time hours in a given month, but this refers to adults in the programs overall, not just the total number of recipients. Many of these workers rely on SNAP to supplement their low wages.

Overall work patterns: About 28% of SNAP recipients are full-time workers, while another 16% work part-time.

Low wages: Many full-time workers still struggle to make ends meet due to low wages, variable schedules, and limited benefits, making them eligible for SNAP.

Program reliance: Some individuals and families rely on SNAP to supplement their income because their wages are not high enough to cover basic needs.

If the tRump Administration is so sure that Christians in Nigeria are being exterminaed, why doesn't he offer Nigerians in the United States refugee status?

The myth of Christian genocide Far-right and pro-Israel actors are recasting Nigeria’s insecurity as sectarian extermination to distract from Palestine.

A little history is important here.

Nigeria was first placed on the “country of particular concern” list by the U.S. in 2020 in what the State Department called “systematic violations of religious freedom.” But, the designation did not single out attacks on Christians. The designation was lifted in 2023 in what many saw as a way to improve ties between the countries ahead of a visit by then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

Suddenly tRump is all that interested in Nigerian Christians?

D.tRump's ballon is starting to deflate.

Yep, the GOP is the reason for the shutdown.
