Better Days

I told you all Susie was Bibi’s campaign manager- You all blew me off- Now news stations are talking about it. She’s Israeli intel.

@CAHOLAB @DRodbone @Christinestilw2 @howardlutnick This photo clipped the part out where the producer and director of the Melania movie is sitting on a bench.

@DRodbone @Christinestilw2 @howardlutnick is in the Epstein files many times!

Howard Lutnick is bashing Canada again today. Just a reminder that this mask of his face was hanging on the wall in a child-rape room in one of Epstein's properties. Fuck Lutnick and the whole pedophile protecting Trump administration.

Elon Musk's net worth: $805 billion. That's more than the bottom 53% of Americans combined. His effective tax rate: 3.3%. A truck driver pays 8.4%. Tax the rich.

If you detach principles from politics you get the government we have today totally ignoring the Constitution. If you elect politicians with principles you get @MassieforKY

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

No drugs on the boat and no crimes committed by anyone except the United States government. Horrific.

@ImBreckWorsham Why post if your summary sentence is weak, defeatist and pointless? Too many accounts post like this.

Meanwhile.....Another apparent insider trading incident. Traders placed a $430M bet on falling oil prices just 15 minutes before Trump announced an extension of the Iran ceasefire Tuesday—marking the third such instance this month. And of course, NOTHING will be done about it.

Wake up…..

In 1934, a wealthy New York socialite did something that baffled the locals in rural Pennsylvania. She walked into a real estate office and leased a mountain just to evict them. Her name was Rosalie Edge, and she was 57 years old. At the time, Kittatinny Ridge was known locally as "The Slaughterhouse." Every fall, thousands of hawks, falcons, and eagles migrated along the ridge, riding the air currents south for the winter. But waiting for them were hundreds of men with shotguns and easy targets. It wasn't hunting for food; it was slaughter for sport. The ground was often carpeted with the rotting bodies of magnificent birds, while many others were left wounded to die slowly in the brush. The state of Pennsylvania actually encouraged it, even paying a $5 bounty on goshawks. Predators were seen as "vermin" that threatened chickens and game birds, and the general consensus was that they should be wiped out. Even the National Audubon Society refused to intervene, telling Mrs. Edge that protecting hawks simply wasn't a priority. She was furious. She famously stated, "The time to save a species is while it is still common." But she didn't just write letters—she took action. She founded the Emergency Conservation Committee, and when established conservation groups wouldn't buy the land to stop the shooting, she did it herself. She secured a lease on 1,400 acres of the ridge and hired a warden, Maurice Broun, to guard it. When the hunters arrived that season, expecting their usual sport, they found "No Trespassing" signs and a determined woman and her warden blocking the path. The shooting gallery was officially closed. The hunters were angry. There were threats against her life and promises of violence, but Mrs. Edge stood firm, relying on her legal rights as a private property holder. She turned a place of death into the world’s first sanctuary for birds of prey. She understood the value of predators, the delicate balance of the ecosystem, and the future of conservation. Her sanctuary, Hawk Mountain, later provided the crucial data that proved the dangers of DDT. Without her stubbornness, we might have lost the bald eagle entirely. Rosalie Edge proved that a single citizen with a lease and a backbone can change the course of history.

SO FAR DONALD TRUMP HAS PARDONED PEOPLE CONVICTED OF OVER 2 BILLION DOLLARS IN HEALTHCARE FRAUD 🚨🚨

Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached. Be a real shame if everyone reposted this.

Remember that check y'all thought you were getting due to the Supreme Court ruling Trump's tariffs were illegal? That money is going to the corrupt conman's Epstein class buddies. No president in US history has screwed over working class Americans like Trump. 😡👇

Imagine doing this on a tax payer funded trip and then suing the Atlantic for $250M because they said you have a drinking problem.

🚨“Iran presents official demands calling for placing Israel’s secret nuclear program under international supervision.” According to Iran’s official Press TV, Iran accuses Israel of concealing more than one hundred nuclear warheads, amid what it describes as full Western complicity in the matter. The reports added that Tehran is demanding that, if the international community seeks to make West Asia a nuclear-free zone, Israel should join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and subject its alleged nuclear arsenal to strict international monitoring.

Mike Johnson REFUSED to meet with over 60 veterans who came to the Capitol to demand he stop funding Trump's war. Any elected official who refuses to meet with a group of veterans and has them zip-tied and hauled off instead, does not deserve to serve in office.

@SebastienneL @8WithaTiara Amazing💗 Thanks for sharing that🌸🙂

@GroovyGreatness @8WithaTiara Yes, very, despite the austerity! It was very peaceful. I literally turned up on their doorstep unannounced. They gave me some work to do creating a garden & cooking & I got some sound advice so yes, it was well worth it!

SUMMER DRINKING TIP: When someone says they’re not drinking/refusing the alcoholic beverage you’re offering, do not ask why. Just offer a non-alcoholic option and move on.. because whatever the reason is, it’s almost always none of your business.

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged. Here's what happened: Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it." And the exact emails are now PUBLIC. Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem. The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately." Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call. Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price. Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed. Same playbook with Hanes: Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased." Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins. But it gets even worse... Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site. Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing. They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS. The mechanism is simple but terrifying: If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers. Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings." Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products. Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform. So turns out, you were never comparison shopping. You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors. "Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable." 3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on. This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat. And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE. "Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

@BishSongs This is sad news. Saw him on Long Island a number of times and he was absolutely brilliant.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of my friend Dave Mason. We did a show together back in the early 70s, and I remember how incredibly talented he was. I was always a fan of his early work with Traffic. I especially love his song “Only You Know and I Know.” We stayed in touch through the years, and he was always kind to me and an incredible guitar player. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and fans.
