It was only a matter of time before Elon Musk started getting more directly involved with politics. He hass sat on the sidelines as a loud but inactive critic for a couple of years, voicing frustration from time to time on Twitter (now “X”) but generally staying out of the political fray.
That seems to be changing.
Musk took a trip to the southern border. What he found was shocking, prompting him to ask the big question about how our federal government is spending our tax dollars and their own political capital.
Why do so many American politicians from both parties care 100 times more about the Ukraine border than the USA border?

He is, of course, right. Lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle have made supporting Ukraine against Russia their number one priority. And while many Ukraine-supporting Republicans occasionally mention the border invasion that is decimating American prosperity and dramatically reducing safety for citizens, they rarely give the border crisis nearly as much effort as they do to securing more money for the oligarchs.
The answer to Musk’s question is simple. The Military Industrial Complex has most politicians and the entirety of corporate media in their pockets. Border security proponents just don’t have the money to buy attention.

What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
