So her food stamps did not cover Pepsi but did cover coke, canada dry, etc? Her whole basket was full of rubbish [bar the watermelon] - is this what taxpayers are paying for?
Yes, that's what taxpayers are paying for. In the early days pre-welfare, the poor received surplus beans, potatoes, and cheese instead of cash handouts, and nobody starved. We should go back to that.
Well I will always call it Welfare because that's exactly what it is. If people had the stigma attached like the old days they would get off their lazy entitled rears and work any job.
How about like what MTG is saying on steroids; the msm and Israel and their lackeys have been burying how badly Israel lost the unprovoked attack on Iran! They had to get a peace agreement!
Israel's state terrorism is legendary; the ICJ found that Israel was guilty of all types of war crimes and genocide, it's a proven fact! Netanyahu and his people are psychos, launching an unprovoked war on another sovereign country.
And how about Israel's welfare from the US? Because they're unable to negotiate peace with neighboring countries they insist on killing everyone who questions their lawless actions. No other country could get away with this and they've gotten tens of billions of dollars from the US in the last year!
I think that oversimplifies a really complex situation. The Iran Israel exchange was intense, but it’s not as black-and-white as one side ‘losing’ or being ‘forced’ into peace. Both countries engaged in a show of strength, and both backed down not necessarily because of defeat, but likely to avoid full-scale war. And while media coverage varies, it’s a stretch to say it’s being buried. It’s been widely reported across a range of sources. Always worth checking multiple perspectives before jumping to conclusions.
The claim that Israel ‘lost’ is a dramatic oversimplification of a deeply complex and tragic conflict. Yes, Israel has endured severe economic and human costs, but it’s important to remember that this is a war driven by Hamas’s October 7 attacks, which involved the mass murder, torture, and kidnapping of civilians. The idea that Gaza is being used as some kind of symbolic compensation for Israeli losses ignores both the broader security dynamics and the very real suffering of innocent people on both sides. If we want accountability, it has to apply to all parties including Hamas, which continues to embed itself within civilian infrastructure, prolonging the devastation in Gaza. We can and must oppose war crimes, but moral clarity requires rejecting false equivalence and propaganda from any side.
Don't forget HamsAss steals the food and supplies that Israel provides to their enemies (btw no other people ob the entire planet does this!!) and charges the Arabs in Gaza exorbitant prices to rob them and fund their scumbag leaders. TomL the hate filled liar can shove it.
That depends on how you define a ‘severe blow.’ Tactically, yes Iranian linked militias and proxies like Hamas or Hezbollah have taken hits. But strategically, Iran’s influence across the region hasn’t exactly collapsed. In fact, some would argue that the prolonged conflict has strengthened anti-Israel and anti-U.S. sentiment, which plays right into Tehran’s long game. If we measure success only by immediate military damage, we might miss the broader regional consequences like the potential for escalation, proxy retaliation, or long-term destabilization. It’s not clear-cut.
The ICJ found that Israel was guilty of all types of war crimes and genocide, it's a proven fact! Netanyahu and his people are psychos, launching an unprovoked war on another sovereign country.
The myth of Israel's Palestinian targets being somehow in the wrong when Israel has been proven to be at fault is absurd. The most rigorous studies of the number of dead in Gaza puts the figures well over 100,000 and by now everyone has seen the vicious murders of innocent civilians by IDF killers.
As for the October 7 story line, no pregnant women were killed as the ICJ's examination showed, Israel was asked for the names of these supposed women and Israel couldn't provide a single one.
War crimes; against the Palestinians, against their neighbors in Lebanon and every other country Mossad targets, Israel and their AIPAC sell-outs in Congress are racist killers.
Rather than assuming deliberate lying, it’s worth checking those sources. That said, you’re right to hold media and politicians accountable. Trust is earned, and facts matter. Let’s just make sure we’re critiquing based on solid information, not just frustration which is very understandable in this economy.
That’s a big leap without evidence. Skepticism is healthy, but it cuts both ways: if we’re going to accuse people or institutions of deception, the burden of proof is on us. Otherwise, we risk turning every disagreement into conspiracy and that’s how trust in everything breaks down.
Short-term price bumps definitely happen especially depending on location, supply disruptions, or refinery issues. But if you look at the national average, gas prices are actually lower than they were a few months ago. Local spikes don’t always reflect the overall trend.
It’s totally fair to be skeptical, especially when personal experience doesn’t match national narratives. Gas prices do vary significantly by region, and while national averages may have dropped at times, that doesn’t mean every area saw the same trend. However, gas price data is publicly available from sources like the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), which reports on regional and national averages regularly. These aren’t partisan numbers they’re compiled from market data.
Trust your eyes and experience. Either it is or it isn't. Whether they're lying or not is mostly irrelevant. Chloe is just being a psychobabble agitator.
The key isn’t blind trust it’s cross checking data, looking at methodology, and comparing sources. If we don’t have some shared baseline of facts, we end up with opinion driven reality, and that’s a dangerous place to be.
To verify this particular claim would require mountains of research and data and I don't think that's a use of time I care to invest nor do I think I could succeed in compiling the data.
I go with what I do know. It's not opinion. It's personal experiences. So, I'm not in or promoting any dangerous activity or places to be.
I am relying on my own actual life experiences and using that as a baseline since I have no ability to collect and crosscheck gasoline prices across the entire country from last year and compare them to current collected gasoline prices from across the country for this year.
That is exactly what reports like the one from this government agency are counting on. They know I, as an individual, don't have the ability to collect said data and so I will accept their data over my own experience.
I, on the other hand, trust my own eyes and ears and experiences over numbers produced by a government agency I have no ability to cross-check.
Logic. If you choose to believe what a government agency tells you is true, that's your prerogative, of course.
Healthy skepticism of government data is fair no question. But rejecting all data just because it comes from a federal agency risks throwing out facts for the sake of distrust. Agencies like the EIA or BLS don’t just make up numbers they compile raw data from states, industries, and independent sources. Could there be errors or biases sometimes? Sure. But the alternative can’t be to treat every report as propaganda unless it fits our narrative.
I don’t think there should be food stamps or SNAP cards. I think if you can’t afford to buy food, you should receive a bulk shipment of whole foods such as rice, beans, meat, eggs, milk, salt, flour, corn meal, etc. along with instructions on how to cook. If you want to eat expensive processed food- then make your own money and buy it.
I once was in line behind a woman at the EZ Mart in my town. She spent SNAP benefits on expensive convenience store junk food and drinks, then pulled out a wad of cash and dropped $50 on beer and lottery tickets. Screw that! If you can afford to waste money on crap I can’t, why are my tax dollars paying for your food? These people should be subject to personal audits if they are going to spend OUR public money.
Story #6 is a perfect example of ‘boiling frog’ syndrome. Having the ‘right’ to OPT OUT of this crap may feel like progress, but it is not. That crap shouldn’t be there in the first place.
Democratic socialism! In other words Communism! Nothing new under the sun. Never worked any where else in the world, but now we can make it work here!!
I am Jewish. I do not support Zionism. I do not support Israel. MTG is correct. We need to put "America first", not Israel, the most racist country I've ever visited.
A correction should be issued by MSNBC about what that "legal analyst" said regarding the Supreme Court.
It was not "Republican justices" on the Supreme Court that took away lower courts' mode of weaponization against President Trump; it was the Supreme Court.
In case she doesn't know, the decisions by the Supreme Court are made by the Court as a whole; they are not made by a sub-group of justices. The decisions by the Court are signed by a majority that agree on all the points. The same analyst could have (properly) stated that the Democrat justices refused to see the law does not allow for the actions of the rogue judges, since those three judges signed the dissenting opinion.

Yes, that's what taxpayers are paying for. In the early days pre-welfare, the poor received surplus beans, potatoes, and cheese instead of cash handouts, and nobody starved. We should go back to that.
That is one solitary example and NO that's not usual. BTW, I don't know what century you live in but it's called SNAP.
Doesn't matter what you call it; stealing money from someone who earned it and giving it to someone who didn't is wrong by any name.
You are clearly deranged and I'll take an educated guess - living off your grandma's fixed income in the basement and hogging all the cat food.
You call me deranged because i want to keep more of what i earned instead of tyrants stealing it and giving it to worthless parasitic lumps?
Are you living off grandma in the basement and hogging the cat food?
Well I will always call it Welfare because that's exactly what it is. If people had the stigma attached like the old days they would get off their lazy entitled rears and work any job.
That's not only insane but also profoundly ignorant.
Over 60% of SNAP beneficiaries are employed. The other 30% are the elderly and disabled.
Mental illness needs treatment. Good luck.
How about like what MTG is saying on steroids; the msm and Israel and their lackeys have been burying how badly Israel lost the unprovoked attack on Iran! They had to get a peace agreement!
Iran has been provoking Israel for most of a century. Israel only responds to the most dire threats. i'm wondering why you side with terrorists.
Israel's state terrorism is legendary; the ICJ found that Israel was guilty of all types of war crimes and genocide, it's a proven fact! Netanyahu and his people are psychos, launching an unprovoked war on another sovereign country.

Israel had suffered over 500 billion dollars of losses days before the war was ended. Israel lost even with US support.

Like hell gas prices are down. I just got gas for my car and for my farm equipment and it was 20 cents a gallon higher than it was last week.
Same in OK. I think they're lying.
Rather than assuming deliberate lying, it’s worth checking those sources. That said, you’re right to hold media and politicians accountable. Trust is earned, and facts matter. Let’s just make sure we’re critiquing based on solid information, not just frustration which is very understandable in this economy.
You're right. I'm not going to spend the time verifying, so I'm editing my comment.
I think they are lying. I don't know for certain.
That’s a big leap without evidence. Skepticism is healthy, but it cuts both ways: if we’re going to accuse people or institutions of deception, the burden of proof is on us. Otherwise, we risk turning every disagreement into conspiracy and that’s how trust in everything breaks down.
I respect your honesty in admitting you don’t know for certain but if you’re not going to verify, why assume they’re lying?
Right, and I'm in Arkansas. Both of our states are usually the lower end of gas cost.
But was it down from a year ago?
No.
Short-term price bumps definitely happen especially depending on location, supply disruptions, or refinery issues. But if you look at the national average, gas prices are actually lower than they were a few months ago. Local spikes don’t always reflect the overall trend.
Gas prices are not lower and haven't been. The price where I live was not 3.50/gal last year. It was under 3/gal at about 2.85/gal.
Has it ever occured to you they could easily be lying about lower gas prices to up Trump's lack of approval ratings?
It’s totally fair to be skeptical, especially when personal experience doesn’t match national narratives. Gas prices do vary significantly by region, and while national averages may have dropped at times, that doesn’t mean every area saw the same trend. However, gas price data is publicly available from sources like the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), which reports on regional and national averages regularly. These aren’t partisan numbers they’re compiled from market data.
So you trust numbers compiled by a federal government bureaucracy?
Why do you assume this agency is nonpartisan when there have been many instances of skewed data produced by many agencies?
Trust your eyes and experience. Either it is or it isn't. Whether they're lying or not is mostly irrelevant. Chloe is just being a psychobabble agitator.
I sometimes like to stretch my mind for exercise by countering the psychobabble. If it's enough of a challenge.
I visit this site because I know it's propaganda and I sometimes counter their claims just in case someone needs a little help seeing it.
Like lifting dead weights for the brain. Thanks.
