SOTUS who vote against the Biden Administration as he ruled against the EPA

public information law, using his office to help a donor, terminating employees
who reported his "unlawful" conduct, bribery, and misleading public
officials, and a House Committee investigating his actions has recommended his
impeachment. In another example of “Going Woke Means Going Broke” Target is
being slammed by customers and the market for its aggressive promotion of
transgender friendly clothing many of which are from transgender activist Erick
Carnell whose rhetoric against people who question transgenders is pretty over

Quote on Hands Across America by Jacob Shelton: “ In 1986, Ken Kragen, the
mastermind behind “We Are the World,” dreamed up Hands Across America, a
coast-to-coast show of solidarity meant to raise money to fight hunger and end
homelessness in the United States. The charitable event took months to
plan but ran into financial, political, and logistical setbacks. In
the end, it failed to live up to its lofty goals despite all the hype.
Celebrities, politicians, and ordinary people all participated in the
15-minute, 4,125-mile chain across America, which also spawned a heartfelt song
and even a Super Bowl commercial.”
