God allows guns in the hands of white trash idiots like this: He says so in His Second Amendment of the US constitution that he gave Founding Father Moses on Mount-Sinai-on-the-Potomac

Pennsylvania Woman Shoots and Kills Husband to ‘Show Him a Lesson’ About Gun Safety, Police Say

Dawn Marie Freeman is charged with criminal homicide after fatally shooting her husband in their Pennsylvania home during an argument over a handgun left unsecured on a coffee table.

For roughly two years, Dawn Marie Freeman said she had worried about the same handgun inside her Pennsylvania home.

Her husband had bought the 9mm and taken a firearms safety course, but Freeman told Pennsylvania State Police that he continued leaving it "lying out in the open" while young children frequently visited. She said she had "begged" him countless times to secure it because she feared "something bad would happen."

On Oct. 4, Freeman was sitting on the couch at the couple's Mine 42 Road home in Adams Township when she noticed the gun on the coffee table again and asked her husband to move it somewhere safe. By the end of the evening, 40-year-old Bradley Allen Freeman was on the living-room floor with a gunshot wound to his chest while his eldest stepson tried to keep him alive.

Freeman, 44, is charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person, according to her Pennsylvania court docket.

He Wouldn't Put It Away

Trooper Stephanie Smith wrote in a probable-cause affidavit that Bradley refused his wife's request to move the handgun from the coffee table. Freeman said she became angry, picked it up, pointed it at her husband, and pulled the trigger "to show him a lesson."

The bullet struck him in the upper-right chest, and he fell face-down in the combined living and dining area. Freeman then threw the handgun across the room and screamed for her sons, who were upstairs.

Her eldest son came down, helped her call 911 and began performing CPR while a Cambria County dispatcher gave instructions over the phone. He continued until police and emergency medical crews arrived, but Bradley was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Room

Investigators recovered a black Smith & Wesson 9mm semiautomatic handgun from the living room, along with a spent 9mm casing behind the couch. The fired bullet was found on the floor behind the front door.

Cambria County Coroner Jeff Lees later determined that Bradley died from a single gunshot wound to the chest and ruled the death a homicide.

Smith was called after Cambria County District Attorney Jessica Aurandt requested that state police take over the investigation. Personnel from Pennsylvania State Police units in Ebensburg, Greensburg, and Kiski Valley assisted, along with the agency's Forensic Services Unit and several local police, fire, and EMS agencies.

One Rule

The Pennsylvania State Police instructs people to treat every firearm as though it is loaded, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, and keep a finger outside the trigger guard until ready to fire.

That guidance closely tracks the concern Freeman said had fueled the dispute for years: a gun left accessible around children could become dangerous very quickly.

The Cambria County District Attorney's Office said Troop A filed charges the following morning. Freeman remains held at Cambria County Prison on the non-bailable homicide charge, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Oct. 22 before Magisterial District Judge Rick W. Varner.

All parties are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

============================================

In the following scenario, only the cars (and absence of horses) tell you that you are no longer in the wild west Texas of the 1800s when violent lawless immigrant criminals, fresh off the boat from crooked colonial England, ruled the land. 

Notice in the report and in the comments by readers how Americans are experts at couching inborn violence in legalistic bullshit: The violence itself of the encounter is not questioned. What is questioned are details such as whether the aggressor police officer has the right to reach into his victim's pocket or hold him by the neck. 

“I'm the Police Chief, So Deal With Me”: Texas Officer Grabs Handcuffed Driver by Neck
Michael Andrew
Updated Thu, October 8, 2026



A video showing a Texas police chief confronting a driver in his own yard has attracted considerable attention online, drawing thousands of likes and comments as questions mount over how officers handled an apparent traffic stop.

The encounter took place in Sour Lake, a small city in Hardin County, where Police Chief Aaron Burleson and another officer approached Kendrick Bates outside his home. Both wore civilian clothing, and the recording captures an increasingly contentious exchange as Bates and witnesses challenge their actions.

At one point, Burleson responds to a challenge to his authority with a remark that has become a focal point of the reaction: "I'm the police chief, so deal with me."

Bates shared the video on Facebook, where viewers have debated the encounter and demanded answers. The city has since acknowledged the incident and announced an investigation.

The Chief Has Something to Say

Bates says the encounter began after officers claimed he had run two stop signs. His wife, Hailey Shelburne, who recorded the confrontation and spoke with us, says he had already pulled into their yard, parked his pickup truck, and been welcomed home before the officers arrived. Both men wore civilian clothing and approached in an unmarked vehicle without activating emergency lights. "They were not directly behind him attempting to pull a traffic stop in any sort," she explained. According to the couple, the officers began restraining Bates without identifying themselves or explaining why they had approached him.

The video begins with Chief Aaron Burleson and another officer holding Bates against his truck, his arms behind his back. "He was in the driveway when y'all got here," Shelburne protests, repeatedly insisting her husband isn't resisting. She says each officer already had control of one of his arms even as they continued ordering him to stop resisting.

Bates objects when Burleson reaches into his pocket. "You're going in my pocket, sir. You didn't ask me for any consent." An officer responds, "Well, just let me have your driver's license," to which Bates answers, "No, sir. I don't have to."

Burleson also places his hand against the front of Bates's neck. "Hey, get your hands off of his neck," Shelburne demands. "Can you please be gentle with him? Why is your hand on his neck? Why are you throwing him against the truck?" She insists the contact was captured on video, telling the chief, "No, no, I have it on camera. You put your hand on his neck." Shelburne and others at the scene repeatedly call for additional police: "Call the cops. More cops need to come here."

Bates also challenges Burleson's authority and says he intends to contact a judge. In his Facebook post, he identifies that judge as Mark Ames, the Hardin County Precinct 4 justice of the peace. Burleson responds, "I'm the police chief, so deal with me."

Bates was ultimately cited for two alleged stop-sign violations and was not arrested, Shelburne confirmed. He has since announced plans to sue the Sour Lake Police Department and has set up a GoFundMe fundraiser.

The City Makes Its Move

The City of Sour Lake acknowledged the incident in an October 7 Facebook announcement, confirming that the officers involved had been reassigned to non-patrol duties while the matter was investigated. City officials also reported contacting the Texas Rangers and another law enforcement agency concerning an independent review.

The announcement offered no explanation for the officers' handling of Bates, the decision to handcuff him, or the search of his pockets. It also did not establish whether the outside agencies had formally accepted investigative responsibility.

Plenty of Opinions, Few Answers

The recording has attracted widespread attention on Facebook, where viewers disagree over both the officers' conduct and Bates's behavior. Some argue that the physical restraint was excessive for alleged stop-sign violations, particularly after Bates was handcuffed, while others question what happened before filming began and whether he refused lawful commands.

Several commenters also dispute the number of alleged violations. Bates and Shelburne describe two stop signs, but others claim an officer mentions three during the encounter. The citation should clarify the specific offenses for which Bates was ticketed.

Police may detain a driver to investigate a traffic violation, and reaching one's driveway does not automatically prevent officers from enforcing traffic laws. Handcuffs may also be used during an investigative detention when justified by specific circumstances, although their use can affect whether a detention amounts to an arrest.

Under Texas Transportation Code § 521.025, a driver must display a driver's license upon a peace officer's lawful demand. That requirement does not automatically authorize an officer to reach into the driver's pockets to retrieve it. The legal justification for the search shown in the recording remains unclear, as does the reason officers considered handcuffs and the physical restraint necessary.

All parties are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

White Trash Inbred Trump Voter Attacks African-American Woman in Gym

Bald, bearded, fat and stupid: What most men who vote for Trump look like. They are the descendants - not more than 2 or 3 generations removed - of ignorant illiterate peasant primates from the boonies of crooked England and backward Europe whose coming to this country made them come down from the trees, lose their tails and start using their brains.

For some reason, after traumatizing and massacring millions of native American Indians, stealing their lands and herding them into desolate reservations, and after kidnapping Africans from the West coast of Africa and enslaving them as free labor in their cotton plantations, not to mention raping their "inferior" women under their white God's laws, somehow they think that this country is theirs, and only theirs. 

This is the mindset of your average Trump voter, the abysmally moronic white trash of this country. After coming out of the sewers in the 1930s and 1940s, inspired by the Fascists of Europe like Hitler and Mussolini, they went back down like mole people into the warrens and backwoods after World War II when the world became tired of racism, hatred, and warmongering. 

Then the Great Moron Trump slithered himself out of his golden sewer and rehabilitated them. Not because he liked them - he, the elitist NYC billionaire, in fact hates them and looks down on them - but because he used them like dirty rags, lied to them, exploited their stupidity by making silly promises to them that he never intended to keep, and created an easy enemy for them: Dark-skinned Americans and immigrants. He just bamboozled them with racist memes to vote for him, and in so doing he opened the sewers of America and let his white cockroaches out back on the streets.

Their problem now is they realize he lied to them and never intended to keep his promises to them. They are like the girl who accepts to be raped with promises of marriage, but is then dumped once the rape is consummated. So they are angry at him and at the world that rejects them. Let the next elections bring sanity and civilization back to America by discarding Trump and his racist cockroaches into the bin for a few decades, unfortunately until another Great American White Moron emerges from the sewers. You see, the Trump phenomenon is not new to America: It is a cyclical event in the long and painful maturation of this adolescent and stupid country that doesn't know what to do with itself.

Maryland woman refuses to give up her gym machine before she’s finished. Then a man launches into an alleged racist tirade: ‘This ain’t your country!’

A trip to the gym shouldn't turn into an argument over who belongs in America. But one Maryland woman found herself facing that question during what should have been an ordinary workout. All she wanted was to finish exercising.

The situation quickly became uncomfortable. Women have faced confrontations while working out before, but this time, the man's anger allegedly went beyond gym etiquette. His words had little to do with fitness.

According to TikTok creator Samrawit Hailu (@samrawit.hailu5), a man became aggressive after she refused to give up an exercise machine she was still using. He allegedly launched into a racist tirade, telling her, "This ain't your country," while repeatedly challenging her to call the police. The confrontation was captured on video, which has attracted around 1 million views.
Things were getting out of hand

The video shows the man arguing with Hailu as she repeatedly asks him to keep his distance. At one point, he declares, "This is my f*cking country," before insisting, "This ain't your country."

Hailu immediately pushes back. "This is not just your country. It's my country too," she responds. Despite her objections, the man continues telling her to leave.

The woman also makes clear that his behavior is interfering with her exercise. "You can't stare me down while I'm work[ing]out, you have to step away," she tells him. She adds, "You are getting too close to me."

Rather than backing away, the man repeatedly tells her to call the police. Hailu continues asking him to step aside so she can use the equipment without being confronted.

The exchange left viewers questioning why a disagreement over an exercise machine had turned into an argument about nationality. Nothing in the confrontation suggested that the man had any authority to decide who belonged in the gym, much less the country.

Several viewers were particularly disturbed by the apparent lack of intervention. Women have raised concerns about harassment at gyms before, and commenters wanted to know why nobody appeared to be helping Hailu.

"the scariest thing is that nobody says anything," one person wrote. "Why is nobody helping????" another asked. A third commented, "No man will talk to a woman like that in my presence."

Others wanted the gym to take responsibility. "Please name the gym so we can let them know this is not okay," one viewer urged. Someone else questioned, "Did you report him to management."

The man's remarks about America also drew criticism. "You are not Native American darling!" one person wrote. Another added, "wow did he just say that. he forgot the Indians were here first lol."

Some commenters went further, demanding consequences for the facility itself. One viewer insisted that "the staff of this gym will need to be fired."

The criticism eventually reached beyond TikTok. Supporters began contacting the gym through phone calls and emails, urging management to address the incident. Hailu later shared an update revealing that their efforts had apparently worked.

"Thank you guys! I have no words to express how grateful for everyone supporting me calling the gym emailing them. I feel the LOVE," she wrote.

She then disclosed that a manager had contacted her with news about the man. "I just received a call from one of the managers at the gym and he informed me that they terminated his membership!! You ALL did that! Thank you!!!"

Hailu credited the people who supported her for the reported decision. What began as a confrontation over gym equipment had resulted in public criticism of the man's conduct and the facility's response.

"Moral Majority" GOP-MAGA Hoax

The Great Moron is complaining that his own imbecile sycophants are avoiding to appear next to him during their midterms campaigns. Trump has even become toxic to those who backed him during two lamentable terms despite his crimes. 

Remember that the criminal Mafioso-in-Chief demands blind loyalty from his thugs. Now they are deserting him. Their claims that a white Christian America holds a "moral majority" are crashing: The American people now see that the real morality, the real decency, is on the liberal side of the political divide. 

The right-wing republican MAGA-GOP have amply demonstrated to the American people that they are hypocrites, criminals in disguise, adulterers, pedophiles, prostitutes preaching virtue without a single ounce of decency. They are cheaters who hide beneath a cloak of fake virtuous patriotism to fool their constituencies, and make billions while the rest of us suffer.

If there still are idiots who vote for the MAGA-GOP mob, it is because they are like-minded criminals who thrive in deregulated business and social environments. When will they ever learn?

Opinion - ‘Moral majority’ no more: The Republican Party’s criminal desperation
Max Burns, opinion contributor
Wed, October 7, 2026



If you want to see the face of real Republican desperation, look no further than President Trump's local Republican Party.

Republican leaders in Palm Beach, Fla. are so fearful of a November blue-wave election that they are considering extreme steps to protect their hold on power — including refusing to cut ties with an elected official arrested for alleged child sex abuse.

Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts Mike Caruso told the Miami Herald he still "intends to win" his race, despite being arrested in August and subsequently suspended from office. State officials swiftly withdrew their support from Caruso's re-election campaign, but the Palm Beach Republicans still have Caruso's back.

It is enough to make any decent Floridian gag.

It was fitting that the Miami Herald broke its story on Oct. 5, the same day that disgraced former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) died. Hastert spent 15 months in federal prison for violating banking laws in an effort to cover up his admitted history of sexually abusing boys as young as 14.

The only difference is that Republicans had the self-respect to cut ties with Hastert when his own scandal broke. The same cannot be said for a party still shamelessly clinging to Caruso.

After decades spent selling out their values in order to preserve their power, Republicans have shed so much of their basic decency that they finally have no guiding principles left. The rise of Trumpism and its anything-goes view of ethics proved to be the final nail in the coffin of a party that was already well on its way to moral hollowness. One can only hope a drubbing in November will give Republican leaders cause to reflect on the ineffective and self-serving abomination their party has become.

Speaking to a room full of conservative donors earlier this year, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson made clear that the only thing keeping corrupt Republicans out of jail was the fact that he personally "run[s] the protection program" in Washington. "I'll take care of you," Johnson promised his financiers. So much for subtlety.

Under the new values-free party, any candidate meets their non-existent standard for office, so long as they say they are a Republican. Holding power is all that matters, even if Republicans themselves have admitted for nearly a year now that they are unwilling and unable to use that power in ways that improve the lives of regular Americans.

The domestic abuse scandal that recently consumed Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) offered Republicans one last opportunity to rediscover their consciences, but the lure of power prevailed once again. Court documents revealed a mountain of serious allegations against Miller, from throwing hot water on his ex-wife Emily Moreno's chest to holding a gun to her head and even fracturing his daughter's collarbone.

In one court document, Miller's 2-year-old daughter turned to her mother and remarked, "Daddy kill you."

Miller responded with trademark Trumpian sleaze. In addition to denying the allegations, he publicly suggested he would release damaging personal information about his former father-in-law, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio). He also defiantly refused to end his re-election bid, reasoning (correctly, it turned out) that his fellow Republicans would ignore even the most extreme allegations of abuse if it meant holding on to a critical House seat.

Last month, House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) reiterated that Miller "is our nominee right now," though she hopes "the allegations weren't true." The House Speaker has also remained staunchly in line behind Miller after the White House urged Republican lawmakers to swallow their morals and shut up about Miller's problems.

"We're gonna support our nominees," Republican National Committee chairman Joe Gruters said in an interview with NewsNation back in August. "We need to make sure we hold the majorities."

For what? What good is a legislative majority to a party that believes in nothing and politicians who tout family values messaging while standing behind candidates accused of child molestation and jaw-dropping levels of domestic abuse?

For a party that is as morally and legally compromised as today's Republicans, a governing majority is only useful as a tool to protect their own members from meaningful accountability. It offers nothing to the rest of us but a textbook example of how the corrupt turn government into a tool of their own impunity.

The 119th Congress has worked less and passed fewer bills than any Congress in more than 50 years. So much effort has been dedicated to protecting politicians like Miller and Trump that it appears Republicans ran out of time to do anything else. In one final, flagrant "screw you" to the very idea of public accountability, Johnson even recessed his do-nothing House until after Election Day — all to avoid bringing to the floor articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Trump, Johnson and the MAGA Republicans in Congress have screamed for months that a Democratic wave election would bring with it a wave of Republican arrests. If Democrats do win back power in November, they'll find no shortage of deserving perps.

Typical White Trash American Story

Ohio ‘House of Horrors’ 


Gary Siders. A Trump voter

The judge overseeing the pending criminal case against the grandfather of the 16 children rescued from an Ohio "House of Horrors" deems this white trash imbecile "unfit to stand trial", probably because he is white. Had he been an African American, Hispanic or an immigrant from "dark-skinned" countries, he'd be locked up for life or deported.

Are these white trash Americans' blood so pure that Trump needed to hatefully hunt down immigrants and migrants who he said "were poisoning the blood of the country"? It seems to me that it is thanks to migrants and immigrants that the United States hasn't yet fallen in primitiveness, decrepitude and decadence.

Gary Siders, the 73-year-old family patriarch and grandfather to the children found in the residence, was deemed mentally unfit by Judge Laina Fetherolf Rogers.


The Ohio "House of Horrors" were 16 children were rescued on June 30

The decision was also made in part because the impoverished county would have been forced to pay for Gary Sr.'s treatments had he remained in custody. In other words, Gary Siders's release is because his white trash Ohio county is dirt poor to care for him.

Siders was arrested with his wife Christina, son Gary Siders II and daughter-in-law Elizabeth Siders on June 30 after Vinton County Sheriff's Office deputies traveled to the residence to serve a summons in an unrelated case.

Those deputies observed the deplorable condition of the home and the large number of children who appeared to be confined to a single room after that visit. Within hours, the 16 children between the ages of 18 months and 18 years were removed from the house.

Gary Siders II and Elizabeth Siders. Their reddened eyes suggest drug use or alcoholism.

At a press conference one day after the raid, Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson said: "I think if they would have waited another 24 hours, there was a very high probability that we'd be dealing with a death or multiple deaths of these children...The children behaved almost like feral animals and were covered in bugs and squatting, and had a distant look in their eyes, and were lacking ability to communicate."

This is a typical white trash American family from the middle and south of the country that votes for Donald Trump who, rather than trying to improve the lot of his white trash voters, targets hard-working dark-skinned immigrants and migrants that are far more normal that the inbred white trash of middle America.

Safest States are Liberal Blue. Least Safe are Conservative MAGA-GOP Red

The states that voted for the Jackass-in-Chief, the so-called MAGA Red States, are the most dangerous where crimes of all kinds (personal, financial, road...) is rampant. Reason? Their people are backward, bigoted religious, hate rules and regulations, love guns and where there are fewer immigrants and migrants because of racism and xenophobia. Those where the slavery secessionist states. In other words, crime and lack of safety thrive in mostly white supremacist communities that vote en masse for idiots like Donald Trump.

Yet the Asshole-in-Chief doesn't send the military there even though he claims he is fighting crime by targeting migrants and immigrants with dark skin. Instead, he targets safe liberal states for political reasons.

In contrast, the liberal Blue States where people hate Trump and his fascism are the safest. Reason? Their people are educated, progressive-thinking, science-minded, law-abiding and do not love guns, and where the vast majority of migrants and immigrants live. 

This proves that rampant crime in the violent United States is concentrated in those parts of the country that have no migrants and immigrants, i.e. most crimes in the US are committed by the white trash communities that are racist Trump voters.

The 10 safest states in the US — and the 10 least safe
Talia Lakritz, Tristin Hoffman
Tue, October 6, 2026 

WalletHub released a report ranking the safest states in the US.
States were ranked based on 52 safety indicators, including work safety and emergency preparedness.
Vermont and Massachusetts scored the highest. Mississippi and Louisiana scored the lowest.

Safe to say, safety comes in many forms beyond crime.

The ability to prepare well for an emergency situation is a form of security, as is the number of emergency responders available nearby. One's financial well-being amid fear of job loss and inflation is also relative to one's sense of safety.

A report released by the personal finance website WalletHub on Monday evaluated all 50 US states, ranking them from the most to least safe.

For each state, WalletHub examined 52 indicators across five categories: personal and residential safety, financial safety, road safety, workplace safety, and emergency preparedness.

The personal and residential safety category included factors such as crime rates, emergency responders per capita, and neighborhood watch groups per capita.

To evaluate financial safety, WalletHub looked at factors such as unemployment rates, median credit scores, identity-theft complaints per capita, and poverty rates.

The road safety ranking was determined by each state's rates of traffic fatalities and DUIs, road quality, and share of uninsured drivers, among other factors.

WalletHub's workplace safety ranking included examining the number of fatal occupational injuries per 100,000 full-time workers and the presence of Occupational Safety and Health Act plans.

Finally, the emergency preparedness ranking looked at states' histories of climate disasters.

WalletHub used data from sources such as the US Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Department of Labor, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Crime Victims Center, among others.

Here are the 10 safest states in the US....

1. Vermont

WalletHub ranked Vermont as the safest state in the US.
Vermont's unemployment rate is 2.7% — one of the lowest in the country — which helped it place fourth in the financial safety ranking. It's also the state with the second-fewest reported identity theft complaints per capita.

The state's road safety ranking was the third-highest in the US, with the second-best road quality and the fifth-fewest traffic fatalities of any state.

Its workplace safety ranking also made the top 10, placing sixth overall.

Vermont placed 16th in the personal and residential safety ranking and 11th in emergency preparedness.

2. Massachusetts

As the second-safest state in the US, Massachusetts ranked in the top 10 of nearly every category of WalletHub's analysis.

The state placed second in the personal and residential safety ranking, with low crime rates, including the eighth-fewest thefts and fourth-fewest murders of any state, according to the WalletHub report. Massachusetts also placed second in WalletHub's road safety ranking, eighth in financial safety, and ninth in emergency preparedness.

Its workplace safety ranking was the lowest, coming in at 23rd overall.

3. Maine

Maine's low crime rate propelled it into the top three safest states in the US. With the fewest mass shootings between 2024 and September 2026, the third-fewest murders per capita, and the fewest aggravated assaults per capita, it ranked fourth in personal and residential safety.

Maine ranked 16th in financial safety with an unemployment rate of 3.4% and the 12th-lowest poverty rate in the US.

It ranked 8th in road safety, 21st in workplace safety, and second in emergency preparedness.

4. New Hampshire

New Hampshire was ranked the fourth-safest state in the US, but it had the highest financial safety ranking of any state. It placed third in personal and residential safety and fourth in emergency preparedness.

New Hampshire's road safety and workplace safety rankings were lower, at 12th and 41st, respectively.

5. Connecticut

Connecticut's personal and residential safety ranking was the highest of any state.
It placed 21st in both the financial safety and the road safety rankings, 25th in workplace safety, and 15th in emergency preparedness.

6. Utah

Utah was ranked No. 1 in road safety, No. 3 in emergency preparedness, and No. 4 in workplace safety.
It placed 26th in financial safety and 35th in personal and residential safety.

7. Minnesota

Minnesota's workplace safety ranked second, road safety ranked sixth, and financial safety ranked seventh. The state's personal and residential safety and emergency preparedness both ranked 23rd.

8. Indiana

WalletHub ranked Indiana 7th in personal and residential safety, 25th in financial safety, 11th in road safety, 10th in workplace safety, and 28th in emergency preparedness.

9. Rhode Island

In Rhode Island, the state's personal and residential safety and emergency preparedness were both ranked eighth-best in the US. It placed 20th in financial safety, 16th in road safety, and 39th in workplace safety.

10. Hawaii

Hawaii rounded out WalletHub's list of the top 10 safest states in the US, placing 10th.

Hawaii performed well in financial safety, with the second-highest ranking of any state. Personal and residential safety ranked 20th, road safety 26th, workplace safety 22nd, and emergency preparedness 13th.

...And the 10 least safe states, ranking at the bottom in the US

41. Georgia

Georgia ranked 34th and 35th in personal and residential safety and road safety, respectively.
It placed 47th in financial safety and has the second-highest share of uninsured people.

42. Alabama

Alabama ranked 36th in personal and residential safety, 34th in financial safety, and 31st in road safety. It ranked 40th in emergency preparedness.

The state tied in the lowest unemployment rate with Vermont, North Dakota, Hawaii, and South Dakota.

43. Colorado

In Colorado, personal and residential safety ranked 46th among US states.
The state placed 19th in financial safety, 41st in road safety, and 38th in workplace safety.

When reached by Business Insider, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis' press secretary Eric Maruyama questioned the methodology of WalletHub's ranking, saying in an email, "It's unclear why this ranking of safest to least safe states takes into account things like credit scores, college savings, and household emergency funds, which are very different things than public safety and crime."

Maruyama added that Colorado is "seeing major year-over-year reductions in crime in key areas" since Polis has "signed laws to fund law enforcement, invest in proactive crime prevention strategies, and toughen penalties for auto theft."

"From 2024 to 2025 violent crime dropped by 10.7%, aggravated assaults dropped by 9%, property crime decreased by 17.3%, and motor vehicle thefts plummeted by 36.8%," he said. "Our work is showing results and this is the kind of data Gov. Polis looks at when assessing how to make our state safer."

44. Missouri

Missouri ranked 46th for road safety.
It ranked 23rd for financial safety and 29th for personal and residential safety.
In the emergency preparedness category, it ranked 41st.

45. Oklahoma

In WalletHub's study, Oklahoma ranked 32nd for personal and residential safety and 41st for financial safety.
It has the third-highest share of uninsured people and ranked 44th in workplace safety, per the report.

46. Arkansas

Arkansas ranked 44th for personal and residential safety, and 43rd in financial safety.
It has the fourth-most fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles of travel, and is ranked 47th for assaults per capita, WalletHub reported.

47. Florida

Florida is ranked 31st for personal and residential safety.
The Sunshine State ranked 45th in financial safety, 46th in workplace safety, and 47th in emergency preparedness.

48. Texas

Texas is ranked 40th in personal and residential safety, financial safety, and road safety.
It ranked 48th in emergency preparedness in WalletHub's report and has the highest share of uninsured people.

49. Louisiana

Louisiana ranked 49th in financial safety and emergency preparedness. It's ranked 43rd for workplace safety.
WalletHub's rankings also show that Louisiana is tied with New Jersey and Wyoming for the most law-enforcement employees per capita, and the state has the third-most assaults per capita.

50. Mississippi

Ranked the least safe state in the US by WalletHub, Mississippi also ranked the lowest in financial, road, work, and emergency preparedness safety.

For personal and residential safety, however, it ranked in the middle: The state is the 22nd safest.

Mississippi has the highest fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled, and it's tied with New Mexico for the second-lowest share of people with rainy-day funds.

Per WalletHub, the state tied with Florida, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Louisiana for the highest total loss amount from climate disasters per capita.

Embodiment of Trump's White Trash US Evangelical Christian Bigots: The Crook Jim Bakker

Like his fellow Evangelical reverends, preachers, and pastors who are frequently caught committing adultery or formicating with children, after convincing their herd of morons that they are sinners who should give money to find forgiveness, Jim Bakker is the embodiment of the American Christian movement: pro-violence criminals, wealth-and power-seeking, racists, xenophobes, hateful of other religions including other Christian denominations, and who use the garbage scriptures to fool millions into submission to American imperialism and Zionist colonialism.

May he be buried as many feet underground as needed to get him closer to his favorite angel, Lucifer.

Jim Bakker, who built a huge TV following and evangelical empire with his first wife, Tammy Faye, which later collapsed in a sex scandal and financial crimes, has died. He was 86.

Bakker died Monday, his second wife, Lori Bakker, said in a statement. The cause of death was not provided.

"He was a pioneer of Christian television, but to me, he was my husband, my best friend, and the man I was honored to walk beside through so many seasons of life and ministry," she said.

The pair lived near Branson, an entertainment destination in Missouri, where they had filmed their TV show "The Jim Bakker Show" since its launch in 2003. Bakker suffered a stroke in 2020.

But it was the "The PTL Club," which at its peak in the mid-1980s drew 13 million nightly TV viewers, that made Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker cultural icons — so much so that they were often skewered in the 1980s and 90s by late-night comedians and parodied on "Saturday Night Live."

The couple also built Heritage USA, a Christian theme park and hotel in Fort Mill, South Carolina, and a movie about their lives, "The Eyes of Tammy Faye," was released in September 2021.

Bakker starts out as a traveling preacher

Bakker was born in Muskegon, Michigan, and attended North Central Bible College in Minneapolis, where he met Tammy Faye. They married in 1961 and dropped out of college to start their own traveling ministry. He preached and she sang and played the accordion in churches and tent revivals across the country.

They caught the attention of televangelist Pat Robertson, and in 1965 launched a children's show on Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network. By 1966, Bakker was hosting "The 700 Club," a Christian talk show.

Bakker left CBN in 1972 and two years later formed the PTL Satellite Network. "The PTL Club" — PTL stands for "Praise the Lord" — became its signature show.

In its heyday in the 1980s, "The PTL Club" attracted millions of viewers and brought in millions of dollars annually.

The show featured chats with guests and Christian entertainers. Bakker offered upbeat sermons and Tammy Faye — charismatic and always wearing her trademark heavy mascara — sang. Most episodes were taped at their sprawling complex just south of Charlotte, North Carolina.

They were often parodied by TV comedians, mocked for their lavish lifestyle and Tammy Faye's abundant makeup.

Sex scandal and financial crimes damage his empire

Their standing began to crumble in March 1987, when Bakker admitted to a sexual encounter with church clerk Jessica Hahn. Hahn alleged that Bakker sexually assaulted her; Bakker maintained that the encounter was consensual.

Bakker was forced to resign from his empire, turning over operations to pastor and broadcaster Jerry Falwell.

Tammy Faye stuck by Bakker, often seen with mascara-stained tears running down her face.

Bakker was indicted in 1988 for mail fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy after an investigation of PTL's finances. He was convicted the following year and sentenced to 45 years in federal prison. The sentence was later reduced to eight years.

At a news conference after he was found guilty, Tammy Faye sang the hymn, "On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand."

Their marriage fell apart and Tammy Faye divorced the still-incarcerated Bakker in 1992, just short of their 31st anniversary. She later married Roe Messner, a building contractor whose projects included the Heritage USA theme park. Messner was convicted of bankruptcy fraud in 1995 and spent about two years in prison.

Tammy Faye died of colon cancer in 2007.

Bakker was released on parole in 1994 and married Lori in 1998. They launched "The Jim Bakker Show" on the PTL Satellite Network five years later.

In June 2021, Bakker and his Morningside Church Productions Inc. settled a lawsuit accusing him of falsely claiming the health supplement Silver Solution could cure COVID-19. The settlement called for $156,000 in refunds to people who paid money or gave contributions to obtain the product in the early days of the pandemic.

The lawsuit said Bakker and a guest made the cure claim during 11 episodes in February and March 2020.

Bakker and Tammy Faye had two children. He and Lori Bakker adopted five children in 2002.

Will Trump Order Execution by Firing Squad of US Marine Killer in Japan?

Devin Jacob Ballard

The Great Moron has ordered, per recommendation from the imbecile white trash warrior Pete Hegseth, the execution BY FIRING SQUAD of Nidal Hasan (who carried out the Fort Hood mass shooting on November 5, 2009, killing 13 people and injuring 32 others). Trump's sole motivation is that Nidal Hasan is a Muslim, and death by firing squad is a warrior fantasy of the white supremacist pseudo-Christian racist Hegseth who believes that execution by firing squad is some sort of military patriotic act.

Will the Great Moron now extend this pseudo-patriotic execution to the US Marine, Devin Jacob Ballard, who perpetrated a heinous crime in Okinawa, Japan (see below)? Or will he hail this killer soldier as a hero because he is a white American who committed his crime on foreign (hence, to be hated) soil?

US Marine arrested on suspicion of murder after 'brutal and heinous' death in Japan

US Marine arrested on suspicion of murder after 'brutal and heinous' death in Japan

A U.S. service member was arrested on suspicion of murder and robbery after a Japanese woman's body was discovered in a hotel in Okinawa, local officials said, describing the alleged killing as a "heinous" incident that prompted the Japanese government to lodge a protest with the United States.

Shinjiro Koizumi, the Japanese minister of defense, said a U.S. Marine lance corporal was arrested on Sunday after the woman's body was found early on Saturday in Naha, the capital city of the Okinawa prefecture.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said the Okinawa Prefectural Police were investigating the incident as a murder.

"The occurrence of such an extremely brutal and heinous incident is a matter of profound regret, and as the Government of Japan, we have lodged a strong protest with the U.S. side," she said on social media.

NHK, Japan's public broadcaster, identified the suspect as Devin Jacob Ballard, 20, who was stationed at U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, a base a few miles outside Naha. The broadcaster identified the alleged victim as Yagi Anna, 39, saying she was pronounced dead at the scene.

U.S. officials did not immediately confirm the identity of the service member who was arrested, nor did they say whether the person had been officially charged in connection with the death.

"We are actively cooperating with Japanese authorities, in response to allegations of serious criminal actions by a Marine assigned to the III Marine Expeditionary Force," the force said in a statement on social media. "We extend our deepest condolences to the victim's family and friends."

Tens of thousands of U.S. troops are stationed across Japan, including in the country's southernmost prefecture, Okinawa, which is home to several U.S. bases.

The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo said it was aware of the incident and was extending "our deepest condolences to the bereaved family of the deceased."

"At present, an investigation is underway to clarify the facts, and the United States Government continues to cooperate closely with the Government of Japan and local authorities," the embassy said in a statement.

George Glass, the U.S. ambassador to Japan, said he had spoken on Sunday morning with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Okinawa's governor, adding that his office was providing full cooperation with an investigation into the death.

Rednecks in Ohio (and Latinos in Texas) Turn Against the Great Moron

[Updated with 

White trash rednecks who voted for Trump are turning against him. Why? He lied to them, they believed his lies, and now his real intentions have become clear to them and they're hurting economically. Dumb rednecks of America are waking up to their own stupidity. 

They can't eat his fake superficial patriotism. They can't eat his fake bigoted religiosity. They can't eat the migrants and immigrants he is persecuting (unless they turn to cannibals, which is not that far off the mark)... They can't eat his tariffs which are making them lose their jobs. They can't eat his ballroom or his changing the names of everything into his. No jobs, and their kitchen tables are empty.

In Texas, a dumb redneck Latino voted for Trump, but now says "he didn't think" [dumb Texans rarely think] that Trump's persecution of Latinos would be "that hard" as to deprive him of his construction workers. Did the moron think that Trump was going to persecute a few but not many migrants? Is it the numbers that bother him or the principle? It must be the numbers because now that he is losing money, he is changing his mind on Trump. How patriotic! How stupid! How egoistic!  Those who voted for Trump and are now regretting it are as guilty as him for wrecking the country and their livelihoods.

A gut punch in Ohio: Nearly 1,400 laid off at truck factory just days before Trump rally

Updated Sat, October 3, 2026

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sipping tea from beer mugs with his coworkers, Kyle Bos listed the ways his life is changing.

Bos has two daughters, with a third due in January. At the grocery store, five items cost as much as a full cart once did. And on Wednesday, Bos and nearly 1,400 other people were laid off from their jobs at what had been the Navistar truck factory in southwestern Ohio.

The layoffs — occurring just three days before Donald Trump's rally on Saturday at a nearby high school — were large enough to basically erase an entire year of job growth in the greater Dayton, Ohio area. And they are one reason why Bos, 30, plans to spend the final weeks before the November election canvassing votes for Democrats.

Asked how many times he had voted for Trump, Bos held up three tattooed fingers. Voting records show he voted twice, though Bos insists he voted for Trump in 2024, 2020 and 2016.

But he said he's done with the president.

"Something has to change politically in this country," said Bos, a member of the United Auto Workers who identifies as a centrist.

"Seems like it just kept getting worse and worse and worse," he said.

Trump campaigned in this area on Saturday.

This year's election is a test for the working-class coalition that lifted Trump into the White House and gave majorities to Republicans in the House and Senate. The outcome will be decided in places like Dayton, which once sprouted factories but shed about half of its 90,000 factory jobs since 1990 after the North American Free Trade Agreement and trade with China made it cheaper to buy auto parts from abroad.

Trump's blunt talk and status as a celebrity businessman initially helped him around Dayton, where voters sensed that politics as usual had failed them. But voters this year are disgruntled about inflation and the war in Iran.

An Ohio race could help determine control of the Senate. Republican Sen. Jon Husted is facing a challenge from former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, who is trying to harness that disenchantment as he attempts a comeback two years after losing his seat.

Americans increasingly blame Trump for the high cost of living with just 17% approving of his handling of the issue. Trump didn't talk about grocery prices or gas prices or layoffs at his Saturday night rally in Vandalia, part of what he says will be a 32-day marathon of rallies to try to convince the public that the economy is better than they think.

"The fake news media, they refuse to talk about our record-setting numbers. So tonight, if you don't mind, I'm going to do it myself," he told the rally.

Trump has largely sneered at concerns about affordability, but he is promising to give people $5,000 checks if Republicans win the House and Senate next month— something Bos said he found offensive.

"It feels like a bribe, a slap in the face, and, like, that we're all ignorant," Bos said.
When factory work moved abroad, Republicans gained traction

In the 1990s, as steady paychecks vanished, drug addiction and crime increased. Things seemed to hit bottom after the 2008 financial crisis, prompting Phil Plummer — who was then Montgomery County Sheriff — to enter politics.

"My jail was 40% drug addicts, 50% mental health patients, 10% criminals," said Plummer, the Montgomery County GOP chairman who has been a Republican state representative since 2019. "We got it upside down — that's what drove me to the state house."

Plummer is now on the ballot for the Ohio state Senate and said he thinks Trump is what keeps the GOP's coalition of businesses and working-class families together.

In recent years, the local economy has improved as the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base steadily added government workers. The base has drawn new aerospace companies to the area such as Joby Aviation, Electra and the Sierra Nevada Corporation.

"In economic development, it takes time, and you have got to give it a little bit of time to bake, and then once it does, then you're going to have something special," said Jeff Hoagland, CEO of the Dayton Development Coalition.

No tax on overtime doesn't help these factory workers.

Trump pointed to the $850 million investment by aircraft maker Electra — along with a new project in Ohio from Stellantis and a Friday announcement from Bayer for a $2.2 billion drug plant near Columbus — as evidence his policies were creating jobs.

But at the former Navistar plant, Trump's broad tariffs never boosted demand and the plant's former owner, International Motors, chose to offload the facility.

Trump's major legislative achievement — the One Big, Beautiful Bill — contributed little to people's take-home pay, even as it temporarily stripped taxes from tips and overtime.

"We weren't getting a lot of overtime because of the economy," said Marianne Donnelly, who drove a forklift at the factory. "There just wasn't any to be had, very little to be had."

Laid-off workers like Donnelly say they expect to be rehired in six to 12 months by Roshel, a Canadian manufacturer of armored vehicles, which is buying the plant. Roshel said in a statement that it's "working with everyone involved not only to protect the current workforce, but to more than double it over the coming years through a phased process."
Laid-off workers are looking for hope

On the Monday before the layoffs, Morgan Hughes and JoJo Burkhard were knocking on doors in Kettering, a Dayton suburb. They were trying to convince union members and retirees to vote for Democrats.

The Navistar job had helped Hughes, 35, buy a house at age 21 and work alongside her father. Burkhard said inflation had made it easier to swing voters to their side.

"It isn't a hard pitch at all," she said. "And even if they don't want to stay Democratic long term, they'll at least give the candidates a chance this election, which could be a turning point for us."

After a morning of talking to voters, the pair settled down at a Chinese restaurant for some potstickers and the weight of the week hit them.

Burkhard cracked open a fortune cookie and tears began to well up. The layoffs meant no work for her, her boyfriend and her mother — and the words in small print almost seemed prophetic.

Her fortune read: "You'll find your inner strength to overcome challenges."

Trump Supporter Stunned as MAGA Crackdown Wrecks His Business
Martha McHardy
Wed, October 7, 2026 

Eric Lee / REUTERS

David Reyna thought Donald Trump's return to the White House would lower costs and secure the border. Instead, the president's immigration crackdown is hurting his businesses.

Trump made immigration enforcement a centerpiece of his 2024 campaign, promising the "largest deportation" effort in U.S. history, pledging to close the border, and moving to restrict birthright citizenship.

But those policies are now hurting the very voters that supported them in the first place, and that could spell disaster for the GOP come the November midterms.

A sharp surge in immigration arrests is removing undocumented workers from industries that rely heavily on their labor.

Construction projects are slowing because of worker shortages, and shrimping operations along the Gulf Coast are also feeling the squeeze. Meanwhile, new restrictions on commercial driver's licenses for some immigrants have compounded the pressure on an already strained trucking industry.

Reyna is one of the business owners affected.

The 50-year-old Texas businessman runs a lumber yard and a real estate operation in the Rio Grande Valley. Both have slowed sharply. A home he was building has also sat unfinished for months.

"We didn't think this administration was going to crack down on undocumented workers that hard," Reyna told the Washington Post. The enforcement push, he added, is "completely devastating the local construction industry."

Reyna was among the Latino voters who helped Trump turn the heavily Democratic Rio Grande Valley red in 2024, ending a Democratic presidential winning streak that dated to 1896.

He backed Trump in part because of promises to lower living costs, cut taxes, and secure the border. Reyna also said he had personally seen migrants crossing near his gated ranch.

"The borders were wide open" under Joe Biden, he said, "and we saw what that meant firsthand."

But the immigration crackdown has changed his view.

Reyna knew Trump had promised mass deportations, but said he never expected enforcement to sweep up people without criminal records.

ICE arrests in South Texas rose from about 400 in 2024 to more than 9,000 so far in 2026, according to a Washington Post analysis. Nearly 80 percent of those arrested by the agency's Harlingen field office had no criminal records.

"I don't think anybody saw that coming," Reyna said. [The imbecile did not see that Trump was a criminal white supremacist whose character was shaped in the sewers and who lies and cheats like he breathes]

And he is not alone in his frustration.

Laura Leigh Taylor, a 37-year-old Georgia farmer, backed Trump in 2024. But after watching the immigration crackdown reach people she knows, she now regrets her vote.

"I understand getting rid of the rapists and the murderers," she told the Associated Press this week. "But all the people that fell in between that really weren't doing nothing but taking care of their family."

Meanwhile, a new Associated Press-KFF survey of more than 2,000 rural voters, a group that largely backed Trump in 2024, found that four in 10 now say Trump has "gone too far" in restricting legal immigration or deporting immigrants living in the U.S. without authorization.

Trump has sought to justify the crackdown, arguing that undocumented immigration drives down wages for American workers.

But Texas supporters like Reyna say that Americans are not filling the gaps left behind, and that wages remain low.

"It's easy to see a lot of jobsites aren't moving the way they normally do," Reyna said.

Construction payrolls in the Brownsville-Harlingen area have fallen 5 percent from a year ago, while Cameron County's labor force has shrunk nearly 2 percent, according to a Washington Post analysis of federal data.

And as the arrests continue, they are increasingly becoming a political issue for the GOP ahead of the midterms.

A Cook Political Report-TelevisaUnivision poll found more than one-fifth of Hispanic Trump voters in Texas would not back a generic Republican House candidate. Nearly two-thirds of Hispanic voters said Trump's deportation policies would make them less likely to support a candidate.

"The whole valley was red," Reyna told the Washington Post, "and now it's going to be blue."

The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.

Pre-Vote False Advertisement: Trump's Tactic to Reject Election Results Later

Trump's superlative-laden posts and discourse are not simply because he's a dumb liar. His talk about how everything is going great for the GOP-MAGA in the upcoming midterms has an objective. One could say the idiot has a method to his idiocy.

By constantly claiming success and big crowds at his rallies now, before the elections, even as all polls point otherwise, Trump is investing in his own made-up alternative facts. Such that if, and when, the results of the elections turn out against him, he can claim fraud using his own grandiose pre-elections pronouncements as evidence. He'd say something like, "everything was going great, we had great crowds, but the media are against us (including his mouthpiece Fucks News that is already bailing out on him in anticipation of MAGA-GOP defeat in November), it's impossible that we would lose. Therefore, there must have been fraud".

The imbecile thinks poorly of the American people. He is right, though, when it comes to his own herd of MAGA morons whose stupidity he exploits to his own advantage. He lies to them and they believe him and vote for him.

Check the boldened parts of his texts/posts below to see how he is creating place holders for claiming fraud later.

'Who Makes These Decisions': Trump Flips Out On Fox News In Sunday Morning Meltdown
Ben Blanchet
Updated Sun, October 4, 2026 

President Donald Trump cut the cord on Fox News Sunday morning, sounding off in a stunning post on his Truth Social platform that the conservative network isn't covering his rallies how he sees fit.

"Our people want to see our Rallies, and reports on our Rallies, on FoxNews, or they will very quickly stop watching (like I am doing right now!)," wrote Trump in the screed.

The post comes amid Trump's 17-state campaign blitz for Republicans and just weeks after Fox News broke with him over his White House press ban, choosing instead to stand with the three affected outlets in a show of solidarity.

Fox News' decision sparked fury within his circle, with top trade adviser Peter Navarro calling on viewers to boycott the typically Trump-friendly network, writing on social media that it "wore our jersey and played for the other team."

Trump, in his post to social media, wrote that it was "sad to see" the "Fox & Friends" program not providing sufficient coverage of what he described as "our packed house and incredibly enthusiastic (beyond!)" at rallies, adding that the "old undercurrent" at the network is responsible for such coverage.

He proceeded to slam the network for spending time on subjects that MAGA is not, "to put it mildly, happy" about it.

He continued, "We don't like stupid Jessica Tarlov, and all of the others, that are forced down MAGA'S throats. These Rallies are the hottest things out there, tremendous love in those sold out arenas, and nothing shows up on Fox! Also, phenomenal ratings for those that properly report." (Note: One such rally in Alabama was noticeably empty in parts of the arena on Friday.)

Trump went on to question "who makes these decisions" before calling out the "loser that fired" Maria Bartiromo, who parted ways with Fox News after she allegedly showed the White House an internal network memo pushing back on a story tied to false 2020 election claims.

"Cover our 'happenings,' and not the opposition to Greatness for America, or FoxNews will soon have the ratings of FAKE NEWS CNN or MSNOW (MSDNC)," he concluded. "Remember, Fox tried this act once before, and almost went out of business (and always right before an election!). That can happen again!"

More Diehard Trump-voting MAGA Morons Confirm: Trump Lied to Us

But these Alaska backwoods barbarians knew the criminal felon was a veteran liar. It was clear to anyone with one single neuron in their skulls that Trump will say anything to get elected (and then implement his racist white supremacist agenda). Yet these MAGA morons voted for him three times. 

What gives then? The answer: He appealed to their racism. They loved his racism and they prioritized their own racist stupidity over their real interests. They were seduced by the violence he meted out on migrants and immigrants. Now that they are hurting because of his failed economic policies, these self-centered hateful morons are crying out.

'He's Just Lying': Three-Time Trump Voters Slam President While Revisiting His Promises
Anthony Orrico
Sun, October 4, 2026 



Several three-time voters for President Donald Trump in Alaska had some harsh words for the president while watching clips of his previous promises.

During Saturday's edition of MS NOW's "Connect with Jacob Soboroff," reporter Alex Tabet had voters react to clips from Trump's inaugural address and more recent ones in which he dismisses the high price of gas.

One man in Anchorage, while filling up his gas tank, watched a clip of Trump saying he would lower prices.

"That's why I voted for him because he was saying all that stuff. And then now it's totally different," the man said.

Another said he had hoped Trump would live up to the hype of his promises, but suggested the president's middle name should be "hyperbole."

"He's hyperbolic. That's all he has ever been. His middle name ought to be hyperbole. He can't deliver on any promises. No politician ever can, even if they have the best of intentions," the man said.

Another man watched a clip of Trump saying Americans have to "pay a little bit more" in gas prices to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

"He talks a lot, but I haven't seen anything come to fruition yet, you know. Of course I understand they don't need nukes, but I mean, I need to live and not be able to spend all my money on gas," the man said.

The man also scoffed at a clip of Trump saying the price of gas is not very high right now.

Tabet asked him how he feels watching Trump make all those promises.

"Like he's just lying," the man said.

Tabet noted that all the voters were in Anchorage, where gas is roughly $5 per gallon, but added that in some areas it's as high as $9 per gallon.

How Democrats Plan to Fight Trump's Corporate Healthcare Scammers in the US

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) 

Trump wants to force retirees and Medicare beneficiaries into the hands of corrupt private healthcare insurance scammers by eliminating Original Medicare (Plan B) and replacing it with a compulsory Medicare Advantage (or Plan C). The corporate scammers are his billionaire buddies.

Democrats now plan to counter this sneaky conspiracy by Trump with a plan to expand Original Medicare coverage that would, if successful, turn the table on Trump's healthcare insurance scamming friends and transform the Medicare Advantage (Plan C) into a major disadvantage. In time, Medicare Advantage C should be eliminated and the corrupt healthcare insurance intermediary between the government and the beneficiary would be eliminated.

While universal healthcare (Medicare for ALL) must wait the maturing of America into a civilized advanced country, this push by Democrats is a good step toward that ultimate objective.

Medicare update: Major changes proposed by Democrats if they win midterms
Suzanne Blake
Fri, October 2, 2026

House Democrats have unveiled a new health care agenda that would make major changes to Medicare if the party regains power following November's midterm elections.

If they win, the Democrats would push to expand Medicare coverage to include dental, vision and hearing benefits as well as lower the Medicare eligibility age.

"Vision, dental, and hearing coverage would be a nice carrot to add to the traditional Medicare system," Kevin Thompson, the CEO of 9i Capital Group and the host of the 9innings podcast, told Newsweek. "These are significant gaps in original Medicare and are also some of the benefits that attract beneficiaries to Medicare Advantage. Adding these benefits to traditional Medicare could reduce one of the competitive advantages Medicare Advantage plans currently have."

Why It Matters

More than 68 million Americans are enrolled in Medicare, but many beneficiaries lack coverage for routine dental care as well as hearing aids and vision services.

Expanding these benefits has long been a priority for many Democrats, as these gaps in coverage can lead to worse health outcomes and higher medical costs over time.

The proposal is, in some ways, a reaction to the sharply criticized Republican-backed "One Big Beautiful Bill," which adopted many changes to federal health care programs, including scrapping the Medicare Part D prescription program, which this proposal aims to address.

What Democrats Are Proposing

"There's a large diversity of opinions in the caucus, so a lot of what we do is just compile all the different proposals among the caucus," Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) told Punchbowl News, adding that options under discussion include "adding dental, vision and hearing coverage to Medicare.

The proposals are part of an 84-page health care platform rolled out by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as Democratic lawmakers look to face off with President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans ahead of Election Day.

According to the new health care agenda, Democrats' Medicare priorities include:

Expanding Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing services.

Lowering the age of Medicare eligibility.

Expanding Medicare coverage for long-term care provided in patients' homes.

Working to lower prescription drug costs beyond the Medicare program.

Capping out-of-pocket health care costs.

Restricting the influence of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) in the prescription drug market.

The document also calls for broader reforms to the health care system, including efforts to break up health care monopolies.

Democrats also included a focus on banning insurers from using artificial intelligence to make coverage determinations.

Medicare for All Not Front and Center

While progressive Democrats continue to advocate for a Medicare for All system, the agenda stops short of making it a centerpiece of the party's platform.

Jeffries has said that Medicare for All has substantial support among House Democrats, with more than 100 lawmakers backing the idea, but not enough consensus exists within the caucus to make it the party's primary proposal.

Instead, the agenda lists Medicare for All and a public option as possible alternatives. The expansion of Medicare to dental and vision, though, has considerably more support.

"As healthcare expenses continue to rise, many seniors are facing substantial increases to the goods and services they're receiving, and extending coverage for conditions that have long needed separate insurance plans could certainly help to ease the financial burden," Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek.

"At the same point, the pathway to this proposal passing is difficult. Even if Democrats reclaim Congress after the midterms, they would still more than likely face a Presidential veto."

Democrats Target Republican Health Care Changes

The platform is calling to reverse the health care spending reductions in last year's Republican legislation.

Democrats said those changes could lead to coverage losses and place additional financial pressure on rural hospitals and health care providers. According to the agenda, once fully implemented, millions of Americans could lose health coverage and some rural hospitals could face closure due to the Republicans' policy changes.

"Democrats are pushing this because dental, vision and hearing are still major gaps in original Medicare. And retirees can face meaningful out-of-pocket costs for all three," Michael Ryan, a finance expert and the founder of MichaelRyanMoney.com, told Newsweek.

"For beneficiaries, the impact could be pretty straightforward. Lower out-of-pocket costs and fewer reasons to choose Medicare Advantage solely for those extra benefits."

What Happens Next

The proposals right now are mere campaign promises rather than formal legislation and will depend heavily on the outcome of the November midterms.

If Democrats regain control of one or both chambers of Congress, party leaders could seek to advance portions of this health care agenda through standalone bills or legislative packages.

However, many of the proposals, particularly Medicare expansion and eligibility age changes, would likely face significant opposition from Republicans.

"I don't think a Democratic victory in the midterms alone would be enough to get this across the finish line," Thompson said. "Democrats currently don't control either chamber of Congress, and even if they were to win the House and Senate, President Trump would still be in the White House and could veto major legislation expanding Medicare."
