It used to be that you needed to buy a Bible, vodka, steaks, sneakers, Trump wear, or a worthless course at Trump University but no more. Now our insatiable Thief-in-Chief is simply stealing taxpayer money directly.


The State Department has transferred $1.25 billion in foreign aid to Trump’s Board of Peace, pulling $ 1 billion from International Disaster Assistance, $ 200 million from peacekeeping operations, and $ 50 million from International organizations. Money that Congress authorized for hurricanes and refugees, moved without a Congressional vote, into a fund that Trump created by executive order and controls personally.

 

The Board of Peace composed of dictators has one defining characteristic. Trump controls it forever. He named himself Chairman -for-Life. No audits, no transparency requirements, absolute veto power. The Board of Peace has transferred nothing to Gaza, disclosed nothing about its spending, and received $ 1.25 billion of your disaster relief money without a word of explanation.


Recently, Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of his tax records. The fix is in. The DOJ attorneys who would defend against his lawsuit serve at his pleasure. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent can’t wait to sign that check.


When our Dear Leader wakes up tomorrow with a full diaper, what new Horrors will he visit on us.

Easter Brunch Success!

Dear Editor,

The Easter Brunch hosted by the administration of the Homer Senior Center was a delight.  The festive decorations created a warm and welcoming atmosphere enjoyed by both attendees and residents.


I would like to recognize the kitchen staff for preparing such a delicious meal.  The eggs Benedict, fresh fruit, and assortment of desserts were wonderful and clearly prepared with care.


Thank you to the dedicated volunteers—Sarah Bolton, Jenny Michaels, Karen Nogle, Deb Schmidt, and Sharon Morganti—whose cheerful service made the event even more special.  We also appreciate Lisa Talbott, Jen Hankins, and Nona Safra for donating silent auction items that added fun and engagement for guests.  A special thank-you to L&R Rentals for providing tables and chairs that made dining and visiting comfortable.


Events like this highlight the generosity and community spirit that make supporting our seniors possible.  Thank you to everyone who helped make this celebration such a success.


Sincerely,

Shirlie Gribble, President, Board of Directors, Homer Senior Citizens
