American Consumer Spending Makes Up 70% of the GDP. This is an American Superpower that has been largely untapped until now. Consumer boycotts are springing up all over the country, targeting companies, corporations, and organizations whose values are opposed to the wishes and votes of the American Voter.

The Real Destroyer of Democracy is the Republican Party – And Here’s How to Stop Them

February 21, 2025 By Ted Leave a Comment

The Real Destroyer of Democracy is the Republican Party and here’s how to STOP them. I love this country and Democracy but what Trump and Doge are doing is Anti-Democratic.

Trump’s Supreme Court Gets It Wrong – Many Americans Will Die!

December 1, 2020 By D Alert Leave a Comment

The Conservative Trump Supreme court gets it wrong and many Americans will die. The conservative Trump court voted against New York’s 10 and 25 person capacity limits.
