If Trump was supposed to be the wrecking ball to the swamp, why are his approval numbers tanking while people are getting poorer, angrier, and more blackpilled about politics? Why are Walmart and TJ Maxx booming while your grocery bill feels like a second car payment? Why did Team Trump hype the Epstein files... then suddenly slam on the brakes? And why does it feel like no matter who wins, the same people behind the curtain still call the shots?

What if the people targeting your parents and grandparents aren’t foreign scammers… but folks who look and sound exactly like someone they trust? We don’t like talking about this stuff. It feels uncomfortable, heavy, maybe even a little depressing. But the truth is simple: if you don’t know how elders are being quietly targeted, you can’t protect them. And the people running these scams are getting smarter, faster and more convincing by the day.
