We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
🇺🇸🐊⚡️- In a PBS/NPR affiliated WGCU and Florida Trident article, Byron Donalds’ ex wife, Bisa Hall, describes a man who looks nothing like the image he sells. She says he pretended to be Jamaican at FAMU, even using an accent, before later admitting he was actually from New York. For a man now asking American voters for trust, even his own American background was apparently flexible when it suited him.
Hall says he was not religious or conservative when she knew him. He had also registered as a Democrat in Tallahassee, but the bigger issue is what she describes as a pattern of reinvention whenever opportunity called. As she put it, “An opportunistic person like he is will take whatever opportunity they’re given.”
The record is not much better. Donalds was arrested for marijuana possession with intent to distribute, not simple possession as he has described it. He was also arrested on a felony bribery charge, pleaded no contest, and later gave an explanation Hall says does not match what he told her at the time.
Even his Christian conversion story gets challenged. Donalds says he gave his life to Christ while working at Cracker Barrel in 2001. Hall says they were still together then, and still married, but he never mentioned church, faith, or any conversion. In her words, religion “didn’t exist” to him.
Hall also says Erika Lees, the woman who is now his wife, did not know Hall was his wife. She says Donalds tried to get back with her before rushing the divorce after Erika got pregnant, then never repaid divorce fees he promised to cover.
Add the 2024 ethics complaint over undisclosed stock trades, and the picture is not a principled conservative, but of a man who keeps reinventing himself whenever ambition requires it.
Miatta Fanbulleh is Liberian.
She is now in charge of Britain's Energy Security.
Meanwhile this is what Liberia looks like:
Beaches covered in excrement.
No waste management.
Absolute filth.

The argument by law enforcement that Flock cameras help solve crimes could be used to argue in favor of any form of mass electronic surveillance. A system whereby the movements and actions of every man, woman and child in the United States is tracked electronically at all times would virtually eliminate all crime in this country.
Nobody is seriously advocating for an AI system to watch every human being, 24 hours a day, in their public and private lives—even though it would end or at least catch all crime—because as a society, stopping or catching crime is not our only priority. It's the only priority of law enforcement, but we don't live in a "cop"-ocracy. If every citizen lived in cells like on Alcatraz instead of private homes, that would also help prevent crime!
"Oh, but even though we're going to collect all the data, we're going to put in safeguards so it can't be used by bad actors!"
Well that same justification could be used to justify the AI skynet watching all people at ...
THE COST OF THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS EXPLODED.
-
Owning a home.
-
Buying groceries.
-
Driving to work.
-
Paying insurance.
-
Even your morning coffee.
Nearly every major household expense costs dramatically more than it did just a few years ago.
Over the last 7 years:
• Coffee: +127%
• Home prices: +60%
• Auto insurance: +51%
• Gasoline: +49%
• Electricity: +44%
• Shelter: +35%
• Groceries: +33%
And that's before paying for healthcare, transportation, or eating out.
This is why so many families feel like they're falling behind even when they get a raise.
The biggest financial problem for millions of Americans is that everything is going up at the same time, while the government keeps showing a 2% inflation target.
