Also, many in poverty live in "food deserts" where there aren't supermarkets and must travel far on public transportation which prevents buying frozen & refrigerated items.

THE BIG QUESTION FROM GAG:
You DO NOT have to be a U. S. citizen to qualify for WIC or SNAP benefits.

For the WIC program, eligibility is based on factors such as income, nutritional risk, and residency within the state where you apply

Similarly, for SNAP, non-citizens may qualify if they meet certain criteria, such as having a qualified immigration status such as pending or in-process.

Stats on WIC / SNAP:

Hispanics and Blacks were more likely to participate in WIC compared to Whites, with Hispanics being 4.1 times and Blacks 2.4 times more likely to participate.

2020, the coverage rate for White individuals was 38%, which is lower compared to other racial groups. Hispanic/Latino individuals had a coverage rate of 64%, and Black individuals had a coverage rate of 50%.

Rural vs. Urban Areas:
SNAP participation is generally higher in rural areas compared to urban areas. In 2017, 90% of eligible rural residents participated in SNAP, compared to 82% in urban areas. This gap has been attributed to factors such as higher poverty rates and food insecurity in rural areas.

Regional Differences:
The Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and Northeast regions have higher participation rates than the national average, while the Southeast, Mountain, Southwest, and Western regions have lower rates. The Western Region had a participation rate of 73%, which was lower than other regions

The mass media has reinvented themselves and gone from horrible to beyond deranged by how they manufactured out of whole cloth the so called “excitement” for Kamala Harris. Like she is new and “fresh faced” despite being are sitting vice president for the last 3 years and 9 months.

Now Kamala is running away from interviews and debates and that’s no coincidence. Here is the mass media’s plan (and they concocted it lightning quick):

> promote this bullshit narrative about how “wonderful” she is (when she is actually incompetent and worthless).

> give her scripted interviews and never ask her a hard question lest risking her laughing like Joaquin Phoenix in “the Joker” in response.

> deflect any criticism of Kamala as “sexism” or racism.

> create a human centipede bullshit loop among the DNC and the whole mass media network. Promote a false image her (same way they do in communist countries) hoping that impressionable low information voters are stupid enough to vote her in. The mass media believes the average American is a naive moron.

Kamala had a 28% approve just six f’ing weeks ago! What happened since then to boost her approval? Did she invent the cure for cancer?

Anyway if you are a hardcore democrat (who of course hates Trump) and would vote for a blue coffee cup with a D on it then fine. Go ahead and vote for Kamala despite her incompetence. Just go ahead even though her economic policy will likely hurt you as well (hyperinflation). Be woke and “feel” the joy.

But if you are undecided please use your brain and look at what’s going to impact your very life: policy. Look at what America was like (economy, crime, border) when Trump was in office vs when Biden is in office (and Kamala was VP). Talk is cheap. Policy is what matters.

Kamala has answered literally zero questions about policy because she doesn’t f’ing have one. And for the things she is “promising” why hasn’t she got anything done in the last four years while she was VP?

I really wasn’t all that surprised the DNC did this dirty crap. They don’t care who about this screws over primary voters who went for Biden as their 2024 candidate.

But this isn’t the first time they did this shady crap to their primary voters. Back in 2016 primaries they promoted HRC over Bernie Sanders since they assumed she was a “safer bet” despite Bernie being a much more popular with primary voters.

Anyway Harris has noticed a sudden poll bump and a huge influx in cash. The huge influx in cash happened so fast that it’s almost like this was all planned way in advanced. Her campaign is also trying to flip the script on age issue given Harris is only 59 and Trump is 78.

This sudden change might give off some sort of “fresh hope” for democrats. But Harris herself has tons of holes in her game and skeletons in her closet. I will post about this later but I predict she is going to try to use the race/card to deflect them.

However MSM will definitely promote he for being “special” given she’s a black woman and protect her. But I got a feeling many Americans are really fed up with DEI bs (whether they admit it or not). It’s not 2020 anymore and the BLM ideology is losing its luster. Especially with the more serious problems we got going on with hyperinflation, the border crisis (which Harris is directly responsible for) and the raging wars abroad.

Anyway I hope republicans are smart on now they approach all this. Yes Trump had gone through hell on earth in the last year. He’s gone through more trial by fire insanity (both literarily and figuratively) than any president in US history. The failed assassination attempt has lots of republicans thinking they had a November in the bag. But they can NOT get complacent no matter how tempting it is.

Anyway this race isn’t over until Lizzo sings.
