Forgiveness For Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Marjorie Taylor Green is one of the first Republicans to break from Trump's grip. She is doing an apology tour for the numerous backings of Trump's and Republican's political agenda. She was one of the loudest attack dogs Trump had. Suddenly, she has had a change of heart, or at least, a change of allegence.

There is no verified information that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has publicly booed former President Barack Obama. News coverage of political events shows she has heckled President Joe Biden during his State of the Union addresses, most notably shouting "Liar!" in 2023. But her list of offenses are extensive.

Her view of people being able to control the weather had many questioning her sanity. “If you even questioned that someone could control the weather, you were labeled a conspiracy theorist or crazy,” said Greene, the chair of the Oversight Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, at the end of the hearing. “Now they’ve come for full circle around to the point that modifying the weather is how they save the planet from the global warming hoax.”

Far-right congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is facing condemnation following several conspiratorial comments amid the devastation of Hurricane Helene that seemed to suggest she believed the US government can control the weather.In a post last week shared with her 1.2 million X followers, the US House representative from Georgia wrote: “Yes they can control the weather. It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”

In November 2020, Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene became the first open supporter of QAnon to be elected to the United States Congress. QAnon is a far-right American political conspiracy theory and political movement that originated in 2017. Despite criticism from Democrats, Republicans, and the media for her belief in this dangerous conspiracy theory, Greene remains a prominent national figure and a member of Congress.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) agreed with a 2018 Facebook comment that the deadly mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, was actually a ‘false flag’ planned event.” In a separate 2018 post, Rep. Greene claimed: “I am told that Nancy Pelosi tells Hillary Clinton several times a month that ‘we need another school shooting’ in order to persuade the public to want strict gun control.” 

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene did not miss an opportunity to spread transphobic messaging to her followers on Thursday (June 1, 2023), which marked the first day of Pride Month amid a particularly solemn year for the LGBTQ+ community. "There are TWO genders: Male & Female," the tweet read. "Trust the science!" The caption accompanied a photo showing that she has a sign with the same words propped up outside her congressional office.

It is hard to believe she has changed after witnessing her actions for years. But she is asking us to believe she has changed even though she continues to support QAnon and their many conspiracies. While she attacked everything and everyone Democrat with the viciousness of a pit bull, she is now a meek lamb. SHOULD SHE BE BELIEVED? 

As a Christian I am well aware of the Bible's stance on forgiveness. In the Christian religion, forgiveness is mandated.Matthew 6:14-15: 

"For if you forgive people their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive people, then neither will your Father forgive your transgressions. 

Luke 6:37: 

"Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven." 

Okay. The Bible says to forgive. But are we suppose to forget? NO! 

The Bible commands followers to forgive, but the phrase "forgive and forget" is not in Scripture. While believers are to forgive, the biblical concept of "forgetting" is not about literally erasing memories but rather about how God no longer remembers or counts your sins against you once they are forgiven. This is a model for human forgiveness, which means choosing to let go of the desire for retribution and not allowing the past offense to control your present life. 

Marjorie can be forgiven but her antics while in public office should not be forgotten. The best PREDICTOR of future behavior is PAST behavior. An "I'm sorry" is never enough to mend offenses. A person must EARN you're letting go of past mistakes. For many years she was radical and out-of-control and it should take just as many years for her to prove she has changed.

For years she decided who she would support and who would be her enemy. All of her egregious actions made up who she was and possibly still is. While representing the people of her district, she took stances they opposed and she didn't seem to care about them. How could anyone now believe she has had a turn around in her politics?

The American people have been fooled before. Will Marjorie Taylor Greene pull the wool over the people's eyes again? Sure, forgive her past transgressions, but do not intrust your future to such a person.

She is just running like a rat on a sinking ship when it comes to her stance on the Epstein files being released. That's about saving herself from drowning. One must look at the character she displayed in the past. She was once a JOKE with her intelligence in question. Is this the person you feel comfortable supporting as she looks to her future in POLITICS? 

Where did the pit bull go who attacked Jasmine Crocket on her looks? Speaking to Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, the Georgia Republican suggested that Crockett’s “fake eyelashes” were getting in the way of her reading and understanding the point of last week's hearing. In response, Crockett called out Greene for having a “bleach-blonde, bad-built, butch body.”

Go ahead and forgiver her, but never forget the person she showed the nation for years. 

Holidays Cancelled Due To Trump PTSD

Standing at the checkout line behind a grandmother and her young grandson, I heard him ask his grandman, "Are you finished with your Christmas shopping?" The grandmother turned to him and said, "We're not doing Christmas this year," then quickly looked at the others in line behind her. I diverted my eyes because there was no reason for her to have my approval or disapproval. I know EXACTLY why she and the boy's mother had made the decision. If you think about it, you know WHY too.

The feelings I experienced hearing a little kid being told there will be no Christmas, darkened my spirit. a Kids being A kid, he held out hope and showed his grandma a little toy he really wanted. She nodded politely and changed the subject. A glimpse of pain registered on her face momentarily. She took a breath, gathered herself, checked out and exited.

For those effected by the SNAP shutdown and just the HIGH cost of groceries, difficult decisions are being made about the holidays. For people who have FOOD SECURITY and support Donald Trump, the shutdown was just another opportunity for cruelness. SNAP receipients were publicly MOCKED and SHAMED. They were called fat, lazy, stealers, a drain on the nation, and any other things they could think of to denegrate a person for needing help to feed themselves and their family. It was a public, brutal, ABUSIVE ASSAULT.

While mocking people needing assistance with food, our president partied, golfed and threw money around to foreign governments as people were not sure about their next meal. America is a wealthy country with citizens paying taxes that are to help the country and its citizens. Overwhelmingly many people are saying poor lives don't matter. Poor people have become reviled and seen as the OTHER.

When trauma, and not knowing if you will be able to eat IS a trauma, there can be long reaching consequenses such as PTSD. You remember feelings, smells, words, actions of a traumatic experience whether you want to or not called FLASHBACKS. Hunger is traumatic by itself without being denegrated for being hungry.

PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, is a mental health condition that can develop after a person experiences or witnesses a traumatic event, such as a car accident, natural disaster, or assault. Symptoms include re-experiencing the trauma through flashbacks or nightmares, avoiding reminders of the event, and feeling on guard or easily startled. Treatment options like psychotherapy and medication are available and can help manage the symptoms, which include negative changes in mood, difficulty sleeping, and trouble concentrating.

Can you imagine, if people who WERE affected by the SNAP stoppage did have enough money for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, sitting around the table having flashbacks of not being able to buy food. How is their self-esteem after living through food insecurity? Do they think about what if this happens again and they're unable to buy regular groceries AGAIN? HAVE THEIR MENTAL HEALTH BEEN AFFECTED?

People in favor of the cuts were like, "just get a job" when many recipients of SNAP benefits are WORKING Americans, elderly, children and the disabled. Minimum wage is a struggle income and jobs for college educated people barely pay more. Ask recent college graduates and they will tell you they can't EVEN find a job with a degree. Many American homes are filled with parents, adult children and elderly parents. Many grandparents are raising grandchilren on their own. 

The HAPPY season of holidays is suppose to be joyful. But Donald Trump has turned the season into flashbacks of trauma. Republican Christians fight so hard for people to say MERRY CHRISTMAS because of Jesus while showing no reverence to Jesus and how he cared more about the POOR than the WEALTHY. One of the three times Jesus became angry was when the poor was being taken advantage of.

Jesus expressed anger at least three times in the Bible: he was angry when merchants commercialized the temple, "My house will be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers" (Matthew 21:12-16). He was angry that the temple had become a place of commerce rather than worship. When people lacked compassion for a man with a withered hand, and when the Pharisees stubbonly refused to believe his teachings. His anger was described as righteous indignation at the hardness of heart or the desecration of his Father's house, not as a sinful human anger.

PTSD is not just happening to those whose SNAP benefits were cut. Americans wake every morning in FEAR of what cruel abusive thing Trump will do next. The news has become a source of trauma. No matter how hard you try, you can't escape Trump's antics. In some way or form he has hurt an American citizen. Even though airports are back at full operation, people are not going to fly. Trump's indiscrimnate FIRING of COMPETENT government employees and whoever else he wants to fire, has caused people not to trust flying anymore. Those who do fly are filled with anxiety questioning their decision.

The damage Trump's administration is inflicting will be felt for years. Even if people aren't experiencing TRUMP PTSD now, it can show up years later. Trump is an ABUSIVE president and have supporters who enjoy the pain he inflicts. This may be the most traumatizing of all. The realization of how many OTHER cruel people exist in America is SHOCKING to the system! This will be the hardest phychological healing for many. 

PTSD can be helped with therapy and medication, but many do not know they are suffering from it. Having a family member at holiday meals who RAVES about how wonderful Trump is can send someone into a rage. Pushing those feelings down, trying to get along, adds to the anxiety and stress caused by Trump.

Trump is a grifter and a ROBBER. He robs people of their dignity, humanity. This is not TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME. This is something else, TRUMP PTSD. He is robbing people of their joy and SECURITY in so many areas and ways as he enjoys his life without threat or fear. We are experiencing trauma from his actions and behaviors daily. If you do a self-check, you probably are experiencing anxiety. Every day people are wondering, "How was he even elected?" Then we have to face the fact we live among the cruelest of people who continue to support him. Feelongs of helplessness and hopelessness abound. Our children are experiencing the same emotions as the adults. This is their world too. And for parents and grandparents, their hearts break for the little ones.

No, there is no need for explainations why the holidays have been canceled. People are preparing for the worst they know is YET to come. But how do you prepare for blatent abuse of power? You can't and that is TRAUMATIC.

The Raping of America By Trump

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES is the CRY from the masses. RAPE, and especially of CHILDREN, has people declaring Donald Trump is UNFIT to be president and should be in jail. of course hes says he is INNOCENT of raping children. But can his RAPIST ways be on full display anyway? Even though dozens of women who were the VICTIMS in their YOUTH have filed legal complaints, Trump continues to reign and his rapist ways continue. HE'S RAPING AMERICA NOW.

I know your first thought is how can anyone use such terminology to describe what is occurring in America, to Lady Liberty. Rape is a serious CRIME. The word should not be thrown around so lightly. I couldn't agree more. RAPE is such a personal vicious assault on a person damaging the victim for years beyond the body. It reshapes a victim's core. It makes having a sense of security a labor because their very HOME, their BODY, has suffered an envasion. Others may say rape is about SEX. What has rape to do with what is going on with our government and President Donald Trump?.

First you must understand sexual assault is motivated by hostility, power and control. Sexual assaults are not motivated by sexual desire. Unlike animals, humans are capable of controlling how they choose to act on or express sexual urges.Sexual assault is a violent attack on an individual, not a spontaneous crime of sexual passion. 

For a victim, it is a humiliating and degrading act. No one “asks” for or deserves this type of attack. Most sexual assaults are committed by someone the victim knows. Studies show that approximately 80%-90% of women reporting sexual assaults knew their assailant. Sexual offenders come from all educational, occupational, racial and cultural backgrounds. They are “ordinary” and “normal” individuals who sexually assault victims to assert power and control over them and inflict violence, humiliation and degradation.Make no mistake about it. America is being PHYSICALLY ASSAUALTED by someone she knows. She is being ravished without consent. Her dignity is being stripped away and she is being humiliated on the world stage. 

There is no clear reasoning for the ASSAULT Donald Trump is unleashing on America but we DO knnow it has to do with POWER, CONTROL and yes, it's HOSTILE. Many are IDENTIFYING with their RAPIST and are unwilling to ADMIT there are being RAPED. Their very being is being invaded and they do not feel SAFE anywhere, not even in their own homes bodies. But what did you EXPECT from a CONVICTED RAPIST? He has issued us into a CULTURE OF RAPE. Appeals Court Upholds Carroll’s $83 Million Judgment Against Trump - The New York Times

Rape Culture is an environment in which rape is prevalent and in which sexual violence is normalized and excused in the media and popular culture. Rape culture is perpetuated through the use of misogynistic language, the objectification of women’s bodies, and the glamorization of sexual violence, thereby creating a society that disregards women’s rights and safety. We have seen WOMEN wearing T-shirts saying Donald Trump can GRAB THEIR P***Y and men calling it locker talk and see Trump as a REAL man. Trump has grabbed America by HER p***y.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, a rape or attempted rape occurs every 5 minutes in the United States. Everyday we awake to some new offense or assault of Trump's on someone somewhere. He has a blood lust for rape. There is something about SUBDUING people, stripping them of their DIGNITY that he seems to ENJOY. Even the CRIES of PAIN and PLEAS for him to STOP go unheeded, he continues and invites others to JOIN IN on the assault. GANG RAPE.

We know there is an underreporting of rape in America. Once the victim survives the assault they want to put it behind them as soon as possible. Many are in a state of shock for years unable to process what happened to them until one day it they can no longer deny they have been a sexual assault victim. Recovery can take years. We already know, it will take years for us to recover from the damage Trump has leveed against America.

Rape is one of those SILENT crimes. After the assault, if the victim doesn't tell you they were a victim of the crime you would never know it unlike being robbed or being shot. Those crimes have tangible residual affects the eye can see like miissing property or healed stitches where the bullet entered. Women do not display their vaginas when speaking of where their assault took place like other survivors of accidents and crimes which they may call, "war wounds."

I've written about the silence of rape and why there is a silence regarding this specific crime. DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: The Silence of Rape

When someone forces you to do something with your body against your will that is an ASSAULT. Assault and abuse comes in many forms and there are not always outward signs. I could have used a number of TITLES to describe the CRIME Trump is perpetrating on the American citizens, robbery, coersion, blackmail, White collar crime, heist, verbal abuse, MURDER (blowing boats out of the water), predator, battery, etc. etc. etc. But rape describes the HUMILIATION he likes to inflict on people. People he knows and don't know. The intimidation and constant threatening nature he has towards the citizens he is supposed to lead is tragic. That's what gets him off though.

Make no mistake about it. We ARE being VICTIMIZED no matter how you look at it. The Epstein Files the GOP are doing everything not to release only shows the level of his DEPRAVITY because we already know he is a RAPIST and America has given him a PASS and now they are being raped. Arapist is a rapist is a rapist and Evangelicals stand behind him.  MAGA makes sure to BLAME the VICTIM which is common when it comes to this crime. People who are shot by a criminal are never blamed or SHAMED for being shot.

Lady Justice is being ASSAULTED. The crime against her is being DISMISSED as not all that bad. She'll survive and be okay. She is being stripped naked, thrown down and MOLESTED. Her cries of PROTEST are being MOCKED as the BOYS CLUB bans together to mock and DISCREDIT her. Her dignity is eroding. Her head is bowed in SHAME. 

Trump has run on the slogan, "Make America Great Again," while he has no respect for HER. She is just someone he wants to control, exert his power over, and an avenue to unleash his hostility from what ever BROKE him in his life to have to CRUSH others to feel like a MAN. It's sad to see all the others, including women, who join in on the RAPE of our Lady Liberty.

What does the Christian Bible have to say about rape? The Bible consistently depicts sexual assault as a sin and a grave moral offense, an act of violence that violates both the victim and God. It is never condoned, and Old Testament law prescribes serious punishments for perpetrators. 

• Rape of a Betrothed Virgin in a Field (Deuteronomy 22:25-27): This scenario assumes the woman cried out for help but had no one to save her due to the secluded location, making it a clear case of rape. The law compares the act to murder, emphasizes the woman's innocence, and mandates that the perpetrator alone be put to death.
• Sexual Encounter in the City (Deuteronomy 22:23-24): If a betrothed woman did not cry for help within a city where people were nearby, it was assumed to be a consensual act of adultery. In this case, both individuals were to be put to death.
• Rape of an Unbetrothed Virgin (Deuteronomy 22:28-29): This passage describes a man seizing and lying with a non-engaged virgin. The man was required to pay a fine (50 shekels of silver) to her father and marry the woman, and he could never divorce her. This law, while seemingly unusual today, was designed in that cultural context to protect the woman's social standing and ensure her financial future, as her "damaged" status would otherwise have made her unmarriageable and without provision. 

The Bible also includes several narratives that depict sexual violence and its devastating physical, emotional, and psychological consequences, such as the rape of Dinah (Genesis 34), Tamar (2 Samuel 13), and the Levite's concubine (Judges 19). These accounts highlight the trauma experienced by victims and the social turmoil that resulted from such acts

CRY OUT AMERICA!!! CRY OUT LOUD!!!

The COUP Has Begun

If you are afraid to speak your mind in PUBLIC but go to town on SOCIAL MEDIA with fake names and weird profile picks to hide your identity (do what youu must) telling off Donald Trump and MAGA, then you know, your freedom is already eroding.

If you are AFRAID to post opposition to this administration on social media for FEAR of being DOXED or cursed out, threatened, or targeted for voicing your views on current affairs, then your freedom IS eroded. 

If you're afraid to join a protest or stand up in any other way to laws and policies that are harmful to you and your family members, then you have already been COUP-ED.

What exactly is a COUP? A coup d'état (/ˌkuːdeɪˈtɑː/; French: [ku deta]; lit. 'stroke of state'), or simply a coup, is typically an illegal and overt attempt by a military organization or other government elites to unseat an incumbent person or leadership. This is our president, Donald Trump and his loyal supporters.

Social media went crazy when it was floated Trump WILL be seeking a third term in office EVEN though the Constitution does not allow it. Everyone JUMPED up saying he can't do that! Our Constitution doesn't allow it! Then they SIT DOWN and shut up waiting for the next outrage of Trump's. There are hundreds of things Donald Trump has done WITHOUT consequence (other than Dems whining) and continues to do.

He has demonstrated his willingness and ability to amass an angry violent mob to attack our Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 in an effort to deligitimize Joe Biden's presidential win. That COULD have been a coup because storming the capitol at the REQUEST DIRECTION of a single man HAPPENED. It was TREASON. His consequence for encouraging that mob was another presidential term and a full pardon of the January 6th criminals. It was a great trial run and NOW they are prepared to do it bigger and better. You can hear the BRAGGING and CONFIDENCE in their voices.

Criminals are his friends. Hate groups are his friends. Anyone WILLING to do RUTHLESS things for him are his friends. He has direct contact with the hate group like the The Proud Boys who he has instructed to stand down and stand by. Stand by for what? For him to deploy them against American citizens and he is manning outside manpower to assist him as needed in any way he ASKS.

The Proud Boys are a far-right, all-male extremist organization known for their use of violence, misogynistic, and anti-immigrant rhetoric. The group is officially designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and a terrorist entity in Canada. The group describes its members as "Western chauvinists who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world," a term critics argue is a code word for white supremacist and anti-multicultural beliefs.

He has placed HIS PEOPLE IN POSITIONS OF POWER LOCALLY IN CITIES AND STATES TO DO HIS BIDDING. We are talking every area of life where a law, policy, or decision can be affected from the SUPREME COURT to elementary schools to our CDC. He has COMPLETE control over what we put in our MOUTH, our BODY, and our MIND. He owns news outlets and dictates the airwaves. He threatens journalists, newspaper companies and continually rails against mainstream media. There is no part of our daily where he has not taken control. 

The military has pretty much been told to not ask questions and just do what they are told. I wrote a blog post as a Veteran of the Army with my thoughts on the summoning of our military, DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Men Of Honor In Uniform. Branches of the military are being used to police American streets. An intimidation tactic that has many shaking in their boots and HIDING indoors. He is TERRORIZING America daily with lethality and GLEE making racist and vile videos as he continues to hem in Americans under his CONTROL and THUMB while we COMPLAIN.

If you are afraid of what your PRESIDENT, CROONIES, SUPPORTER, ADMINISTRATION, REPUBLICANS, EVANGELICAL, AND MAGA will do next each day you rise or are doing now, then you know you are already in a coup. You will have to PRETEND not to know but you won't be believed.

YOU ARE NO LONGER FREE. We are no longer free. We know we will be harmed and the country will be harmed by the Right and their policies and laws. We KNOW it and they will not receive punishment for their treatment of those who get in the Republican's way and if they do, there is a pardon waiting to erase their crime along with the HECKLING laughter the Right does. We are the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and yet Trump says he has to WITHHOLD funds from Blue states. No one is safe from his insanity which IS a mental illness and beyond.

If you are waiting for things to get worse, you will not be eating popcorn watching it comfortably from your living room. As you can see with the government shutdown, your food can be TAKEN in a flash without reason or warning. White priveledge make some people feel safe from an authoritarian leader. They do not know, they will never be a part of the ELITE. They will never dance in Trump's new ballroom or use his marbled Lincoln Bathroom. Your wealth will all belong to him. You are deipensable.

Look around you. People fearful. They are hiding and shrinking back into the shadows in hopes Trump's revenge tour and pettiness won't FIND them. There is NO where to HIDE people! You are going to have to FIGHT for your freedom and too many people have their heads stuck in the sand. Polite society just wants to cotinue to say, "Shame, shame shame," and go about their lives. It will be too late when they realize they are no more than a peasant to Trump. America HAD to answer THIS call we are desparately trying to avoid, a third war on American soil. NO ONE WANTS WAR. Read my post about the unwanted outcome of war DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Manhood and War.

As people on government assistance wondered if they were going to be able to eat November, Trump was at a lavish Halloween party living it up. We ALL can starve as far as he is concerned. He has taken health care decisions from women regarding their body and he will do so for ALL Americans. The government has been shut down 31 days as Republicans say they will not meet unless illegal immigrants are cut off of Medicaid. Yeah. Right. He will cut off more than just the Brown people.

People fail to believe how a CORRUPT mind and heart, like the Christian Bible speaks about, is a deadly weapon of evil. If allowed to grow, it will become a MONSTER swallowing everything in its path. Trump, Republicans, and the Evangelical Church is THAT monster. Remember, Napoleon Bonapart crowned his own self EMPOROR.

The Trump machine pretty much TELLS us daily of how they are going to HARM us to cheers of MAGA on the Right. People continue to ask how can people making less that 50,000 dollars a year fight so ferociously for multi-billionaires as he is making them cry at every turn. They can because he has their HATE directed, targeted at MINORITIES instead of his RAPING OF AMERICA.

No doubt about it, if no one has told you this, remember I did. Let your level of FEAR be your guide when answering the question, "Has a coup begun?" Only those TRICKED into believing they are a part of the GOOD OLD BOYS CLUB  with lively locker room talk with their Christian mouths would think there's nothing to see here. 

SNAP Back America in This Trump Era

Were you one of the Americans who lived the entire month on October unsure of how you were going to eat? At anytime did actual DREAD fill your body because you or someone you knew were in danger of having government aid ending? Will the experience stay with you and your loved one's well beyond this Trump adminnistration?

In fiscal year 2024, approximately 41.7 million people received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, and nearly 100 million Americans received some form of government assistance in 2019. The number of people on "welfare" varies depending on which programs are included, as the term encompasses various aid programs like SNAP, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Medicaid, and housing assistance. That is a lot of people. It should make people wonder, why are so many people needing government assistance?

The reasons varies as does the ethnicity of the people receivinng the aid. This is not what this blog post is about. 

I want to ask, for those people who will CONTINUE to live under the fear of the GOVERNMENT from this day on, WHAT'S YOUR PLAN FOR THE FUTURE?

I guess the Trump administration believe all the LAZY people on government assistance, once their aid is cut off, will run out the next day and get a JOB. Republicans believe if you would get off your butt and go to work then you and America will fair better. They are geniuses right? PROBLEM SOLVED.

The latest U.S. job report (August 2025) showed a significant slowdown, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by only 22,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate rising to 4.3%. Other key indicators point to a weakening labor market, including a decline in long-term unemployment over the year and a decrease in government employment. Truth is, Donald Trump will FIRE you if the correct LOW job numbers are reported. Yes. YOU'RE FIRED. What jobs are available to those being thrown off government aid? Even before Trump, if you were willing to work, there were no jobs. With Trump, those jobs are even fewer. But I don't believe they care what happens to you. Remember, you are POOR and LAZY.

If some of the ex-recipients of government aid happen to be one of the lucky ones and finds a job, Hooray! You are now an APPROVED American by the Right. Congratulations!

Most full-time 40-hour a week jobs do not earn a living wage in America, as a significant portion of full-time workers fall short of being able to cover basic needs. While the exact amount needed for a living wage varies by location, a recent study found that 56% of full-time workers earn a living wage, meaning nearly half do not. 

In my state of Mississippi, the answer is also no. The jobs do not pay a living wage.A single adult needs approximately $20.75 per hour to cover basic living expenses, while the average wage in Mississippi is $22.87, but the median for many full-time jobs is much lower. The federal minimum wage of $7.25 is well below a living wage in the state. 

Republicans are focused on illegal immigration accusing illegal immigrants of receiving fraudulant government assistance such as health care. They are also responsible for crime that seems to only happen in BLUE states not noticing the poverty in RED states requiring government assistance.

The poorest states in the U.S. are consistently identified as Mississippi, Lousiana, New Mexico, West Virginia, and Arkansas though rankings can vary slightly depending on the specific metric used (like poverty rate or median household income). These states are often grouped together, particularly in the Deep South, and face challenges like high poverty rates, lower median incomes, and high rates of child poverty.

The last increase to the federal minimum wage in America was in uly 2009,when it was raised to $7.25 per hour. Since then, it has remained at this level, making it the longest period without a federal increase since the minimum wage was introduced in 1938.

Inflation has increased the price of everything including grocery making it difficult for the WORKING poor to be able to keep up. Grocery prices have increased by approximately 88% since 2000. This is based on the cumulative effect of inflation, which has caused a dollar to have less purchasing power. For example, $1 in 2000 is equivalent to about $1.88 today.

As of August 2025, the employment-population ratio for the United States was 59.6%This means that 59.6% of the civilian population aged 16 and over was employed. This percentage is slightly down from 60.2% in January 2024. Almost HALF of America is unemployed. First thought I know will be why are so many people unemployed? Well, there are the DISABLED and ELDERLY to consider in the number of Americans without a job.

America and Americans have has a wake up call. While many families were frantic with the thought of SNAP benefits being cut November 1, 2025, Donald Trump partied at a LAVISH HALLOWEEN party at MAR-A-LARGO. He made sure AND will make sure those who support him will dine and dance while the rest of America gets by.

My question remains, what will those receiving government aid do to PROTECT their future from another heartless government leader willing to cause families suffering and pain? I mean, no alternative way to provide food for their families was given to those receiving SNAP benefits and the CHURCHES on EVERY neighborhood street corner remain silent.

For African Americans this question is CRUCIAL, with the attack on Black and Brown people, Trump and the Right are closing the doors for employment and upward mobility for them.

DEI is being eradicated with the BELIEF there are NO qualified people of color OR gender able to qualify for high paying jobs. Trump do not want to see Black or Brown faces in jobs of importance such as in the military and federal government. He fired a number of Black people during his first 100 days in office. Black American history is being erased as being UNPATRIOTIC. This is in a country that celebrates the REBEL FLAG as an honorable flag and still fight for the right to fly it. It was created for and by treasonous Americans.

HBCU's, (Black Colleges and Universities) which are predominately, historically Black, are under threat of being defunded. Luckily, there are donors who do not want to see those college doors closed. On a whole, the Trump administration is targeting education. Their (MAGA, Right) greivance against the current education system is that it is woke, teaches Critical Race Theory, anti-Christian, and anti-Americanism. Education is not anti anything. It is for intellectual growth and exposure to the greatest information and minds in the fields of their study. Each human is responsible for their worldview. once they become an adult. 

I find it funny parents have their children 18 years and give them the foundation of their core beliefs. Higher education has a child 6 years (undergrad and grad) and in those 6 years the colleges and universities negate the 18 years prior that a parent instilled in their child. I know it happens. I have seen freshman college students in SHOCK at the information given to all students who pass the doors compared to what was learned in their home. One thing taught in homes, RACISM, begins to be seen for the lie it is once the child is exposed to a diversity of people, cultures, traditions, and ideogy. Many of these YOUNG minds cannot believe what they WERE taught COMPARED to what they are being taught. THAT DOESN'T MAKE COLLEGES WRONG. The student may have just had a sheltered life. For some college students, college becomes a choice between their PARENT'S beliefs and FACTS of science, history, literature and so forth, which for some is traumatic. Some parental truths were LIES or withheld innformation. But, the college does not have enough of interest in yor child to personally brainwash them. For what and to do what?

We are at a point of no education and no jobs. The average education level for Americans ages 25 and older is a high scholl diploma, but a significant portion also holds a bachelor's degree or higher. In 2025, approximately 95% of the population aged 25 and over had a high school diploma or higher, while around 40% had a bachelor's degree or higher. Educational attainment has increased over time, with recent trends showing a rise in bachelor's degree attainment, particularly among younger age groups. 

So what is the economic SAFETY plan for those receiving government assistance? Your guess is as good as mine.

In a land of so much promise, once said to have streets paved with gold, the citizens are SURVIVNG in America, not THRIVING in America. Corporate GREED is making life in AMERICA almost impossible and definitely a STRUGGLE for most Americans. We are in an age where we only are concerned with our own wellbeing. If we see our neighbor having a tough time, we turn our heads or eyes and keep it moving.

Dependence on the government is over even if it was for legitimate reasons. Immigrants have abandoned the fruit and vegetable fields without any other ethnic group stepping up to fill the loss. Food, they say, lie rottening on the ground. Farmers no longer have buyers for their produce like before due to tariffs. Brick and mortar stores are closing due to lack of spending money by consumers.

Everyone is scrambling for a plan to live through this TRUMP ERA and it will be named so due to all of the destruction he is doing to America, it's citizens, and the world at large.

We're going to have to BRAINSTORM and come up with a plan which will never allow this to happen to OURSELVES again as Americans. Now, I'm not naiive. I know there is a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse, but the extravagance of the Trump administration, while calling people frauds, cheats, lazy, and criminnals is hard on the good average everyday people trying to take care of their family.

Its time to plan for finnancial security the best way you can but do something to never be put in this situation again. I know. Easier said than done. But in the same way you eat an elephant, a bite at a time, restructure your life using every available resource. Help others, network, take traing classes, do something. Things are going to get worse before they get better.

As with all of the mass shooting, there are thoughts and prayers for the poor. In a Christian nation, of course, there are thoughts and prayers for the less fortunate and for those sufferinng. The Christian Bible also teaches how to treat one another. Several Bible verses command believers to feed the poor, with key examples including Isaiah 58:7, which says, "Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter," and Proverbs 22:9, which states, "The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor". Matthew 25:35 highlights that caring for the poor is equivalent to caring for Jesus himself, while Proverbs 19:17 suggests that kindness to the poor is a loan to the Lord. But can you COUNT ON a Christian nation to abide by THEIR religion? History has said a loud HELL NO.

My fellow Americans, its time to plan for the FUTURE and inact your plan. Trump cares about Trump. It is not beneath him to somehow steal the election or just refuse to leave the White House. Remember the FEAR OF OCTOBER 2025 and let it be your MOTIVATION to say NEVER AGAIN.
