  • Truth Social: Wes Moss and Trump 🙉

    When I read or watch the news and I hear about the outrageous & racist things that Donald Trump says on Truth Social, you can thank Wes Moss. Wes Moss helped Donald Trump found Truth Social.

    I hope Wes is NOT Clark’s successor.

    Some would say this is political, but I see it as rights & wrongs. So much human suffering has been unleashed by Trump and his acolytes. I can’t support you anymore Clark. Do you hold the same values as Trump/Moss Clark??

  • Negative spin

    Download and listen to Wes on Tuesday and delete the rest from Clarke. Wes will provide a neutral data-based assessment while Clarke will put his political negative spin and even say that it is time to pull the family aside as the ‘end is near’ in regard to job or economic reports.

07.15.26 Clark Discredits a Long-Held Credit Card Myth / SCAM WARNINGS

Q: What can I do to limit liability when renting a car abroad?
