There is such a thing as a free lunch at Madison Elementary this Christmas:
A generous benefactor has ensured Madison Elementary School students will receive free school meals the week before the holiday dismissal, Superintendent Joel Jorgenson announced at a Dec. 8 meeting.
Junior kindergarten through fifth-grade students will have free lunch on Dec. 12-19. Dec. 19, which will be dismissed early, is the last day of school before the winter holiday break [Wren Murphy, “Anonymous Donor Pays for Elementary Lunches for Holidays,” Madison Daily Leader, 2025.12.09].
We know the donor is not Donald Trump, because he insists on putting his name on any handouts he has a hand in, like the free but complicated $1,000 investment funds his big ugly budget reconciliation bill starts handing out next July to children born and this year and the next three years.
Funny that we don’t hear Dusty Johnson and other Republicans criticizing these free lunches and free stock portfolios as slaps in the face to the millions of Americans who have done the right thing and pai for their own lunches and educations and houses and such without any handouts.
