“Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don’t include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town’s identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg’s firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company.”

Trump killed the Fema training academy. It’s not coming back.

    Honestly? I’m not sure anymore.

    Either way, do you think it’s a gene? Or like a full-on phenotype? Or something else, like lead poisoning or just general cognitive impairment?

      Religion for one. State propaganda media is #2 (Fox News, Newsmax, Alex Jones, Rush) Closet racism and homosexuality.

      Note: being a homosexual isn’t the problem. But repressing and hating others (and yourself) is the problem.
