Q: How long is it before President Trump loses his temper with Putin? Whitaker: Trump’s frustrated with Moscow, but in 6 months he’s got Putin and Zelenskyy talking. Civilians keep dying — war must end — Trump built leverage to push both sides closer to a deal. 1/




What's disorienting about Trump is that you never know if some of the stuff he's doing (takeover of DC policing, Bolton FBI raid) is a move toward dictatorship or just idiotic showboating & petty vindictiveness, because he's fundamentally a moron (see FIFA press conference)

Yes 💯 I had congestive heart failure at one point andI had six leg pain procedures. The way the edema appears is very very different. Leg veins make your legs and feet, what I call, glumpy. You have pitting and swelling but it's more and less in different places. It does not appear consistently and it doesn't appear consistently across both legs. It is not equally distributed across the body or cross both legs. He's also carrying vast amounts of fluid. That would be one thing if he wasn't given the best medical care in the world. Then... The bruising on his hand is 100% IV given. He's most likely being givenIV lasix to bring the fluid down, but it's not controlled. With the care that he gets plus getting IV lasix it has to be kidney or heart failure. The thing is it's so out of control, you can see it on the daily with the fluid in his neck and his face and his ankles, it means his heart is failing and to the point where they can no longer use meds to keep it stable. You can come out of congestive heart failure, I did. I live with heart failure but my heart is doing very well because I'm med compliant. However not at his age. Also his heart is failing at such a rate that the IV lasix can't even keep up with the fluid. He's dying.

Trump 'asking' Intel to give 10% to the US Gov't in return for the Chips Act money. Not exact same as taxpayer taking stakes in GM or some big banks, but it does rhyme. So .. do we call it an Intel bailout or no?

Biden was wrong to subsidize the private sector with the Chips Act using our tax dollars. The counter to Biden is not to lean in and have govt own part of Intel. This will only lead to more government subsidies and less productivity. Intel will become a test case of what not to do.



This administration brags about corporate welfare, cronyism, and corruption. They are the enemies of liberty and prosperity.

Inheritance tax isn’t “theft” from those who have built a “successful life and legacy”. It is a tax on those receiving a windfall of unearned wealth. It’s not “immoral” unless you think people’s life chances should be determined not by what they do — but who their parents are.





Christmas is going to be a disaster this year. Companies have sold down their front-ran inventory, and now the “deals” are already set. Average tariff of 20%. Even higher if you’re China heavy. Imports have been falling off a cliff for months now, so there’s no restocking happening to save the shopping season. Either, prices go way up and volume goes way down. Or prices stay flat and corporate profit margins get annihilated. It’s August 7th. The holiday shopping season is 90 days away. It’s too late. We’ve made our bed and now we must lay in it.
