Anyone Get Their Check Yet?

That finger is pointing at me as much as anyone else (look closely and
it's the wrong finger anyway...)     Photo: © Stan B.

No, not the usual (if that's the case) income tax refund, I'm talking the $5,000 stimulus check from the DOGE dividend- ya know, the heaps and heaps of money we saved from all those well thought out DOGE cuts.* Or, the $2,000 tariff dividend refund- anyone see one of those?!? Well, I've said it before- at least we have $2.00 gas!** And on the lucky day when I do get those checks- I'm donating them straight back to his Big, Beautiful Ballroom- ya know, the $200 Million, $400 Million, $1BILLION that's uhhh... not gonna cost us one-red-cent!!!***

*A study published in The Lancet in July 2025 projects over 14 million additional deaths globally by 2030 due to cuts in foreign aid. Specific cuts to the president's Malaria Initiative are projected to cause 107,000 deaths in a single year, while funding freezes to initiatives like PEPFAR could cause over 780,000 deaths in one year.

**Gas is currently $6.16 per gallon Regular in CA.

*** "To date, the White House has presented no evidence to suggest that the project will be largely financed by the president. Similarly, there’s no available information about why Trump sought so many private donations if he’s “putting up $400 million” toward construction."
