So trump has come out with a new platform once re-elected. A 10% tax on all imports. Obviously pandering to his ignorant base. The US is a part of many trade treaties that preclude this. It would cost US consumers 1/3 of a billion per year and cut GDP by .7%. But for the uneducated its a winner. It creates more US jobs! But wait the US is at full employment now, never matter, illegal immigrants will fill the shortfall. Its so nutty that a person has to wonder if Ramaswamy didn't dream it up.

Someday I'll be qualified to ask for a seniors discount..."sigh". Perhaps by then given shifting demographics of ageing populations and government debts. It will instead be a seniors premium! Bookstores in Florida, how quaint. Haven't republicans in Florida closed all the libraries, burned all the books and stopped reading books? With FOX and Truth Social as the new sources of education.

Billionaire republicans are fighting with a couple republicans who don't like corruption in Texas. Its all over the Texas attorney general Ken Paxton and his pending impeachment. Hard core republicans are linking integrity to democrats. What else is new? But the knives are coming out and it could be more messy than pigs in a wallow.

A habit missing from about 40% of the population and for those who question. They go to FOX, Truth Social, FB for confirmation bias reinforcement.

Imagine the issues that ships transiting between the EU and US east coast ports are facing.

Too bad that FOX provides little coverage about the sentencing of Jan. 6th party goers. Because trump would go full tweet 24/7. If the little brownshirts are getting 17-18 years. The carnival barker should get 30-50.

So a new sun(star) popped up about eighty years ago. Obviously a republican. Hopefully she doesn't have children.

Australia-based SYPAQ Systems is sending low-cost drones made out of waxed cardboard to Ukrainian forces. They have destroyed a Mig-29 and at least four SU-30 aircraft. They have a range of 75 miles and have a six foot wingspan. They cost $3500 each and Australia is supplying 100 a month. The cardboard/foam construction is almost impossible to see on radar. Well Russian S-400 radar anyway. They come in a dozen per pallet packages. They have shaped downward firing shrapnel charges. Happy birthday president Putin.

Nineteen superbowls in one year!. Got to get my stock broker on the line tomorrow. ABC, NBC, Orville Redenbacher's...go long.

2nd Chance Bail Bonds, If we're good enough for the smartest, president in the whole world. If we're good enough for Rudy Giuliani who has to pinch every penny because he's getting it up the a$$ from that same aforementioned president. Count on 2nd chance to get out. Get back in the presidency. Back in all those fresh Saudi Benjamins. Unlike your ex-wife with us, you've got a 2nd chance.

Future premiums for both auto and home to pay off the deficit plus rebuild reserves. Its like electing republicans you can pay me now and pay again later.

Joseph Biggs failed to use that defense as leader of the Proud Boys. Now he has 17 years to reflect on it. The longest sentence yet for the Jan. 6th call to arms from trump next to the 18 year sentence for the oath Keepers leader.

Yes Epoisse de Bourgogne, not allowed on public transport and not allowed in SC. The current average for home insurance in Florida is $6,000 a year. Forty five percent of that is hurricane liability coverage and 29% flood coverage. Citizens is the state owned insurer of last resort. DeSantis is playing games with its premiums of course. Hence:Hurricane Idalia Might Wreck Florida’s Insurer of Last Resort If the reserves are exhausted premiums on motorists will have to make up the losses. Yes you read that right. Insured auto owners will be called upon to subsidize oceanfront homes that can't get coverage anywhere else from a regular commercial insurer. Its called free market competition republican style.

"When Russia invaded Ukraine, the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) did not hesitate to throw its support behind the Kremlin’s war against a neighboring Orthodox nation. Far from wavering, that support has only grown more strident as the war progressed. The reason is not just that the church is used to giving its blessing to any actions taken by the country’s leadership. Quite simply, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, head of the ROC, is betting on Putin’s tanks to preserve the institution of the church throughout the fallen empire. Yet the more militant the patriarch’s rhetoric and the more visible he becomes in Russian propaganda," Yes god, Christians and war, all righteous. in Russia Christians depended upon Prigozhin and tanks to sustain its importance. In America they depend upon trump's propaganda.

So Brent has vanished, evidently swept out to sea. Too bad cutbacks to the coast guard means no search for him. The first estimates of $9.4 billion in insured losses for Florida. Uninsured? Well you still have the right to permit-less concealed carry.

Improved it for you.

Earlier that day the child was being punished for eating the shooters food without permission and failing to act as her morning alarm clock. For which the four year old was struck with a sandal. The shooter had temporary custody of the child. But they had a 9mm after all its Tennessee. In other news from this modern, progressive, republican state: "When Gov. Bill Lee of Tennessee began a push in April to address public safety, his family was grieving the loss of two close friends, both educators killed in a mass shooting at a Nashville Christian school. His call for millions of dollars to harden school security was embraced by Republicans in the legislature, who flanked him during a formal announcement."

The entirety of the christian belief system is about marketing salvation and punishment aka hell from people to people.

Pope Francis has finally come out and made some remarks about American conservative christian reactionaries. "his dismay at “a very strong, organized, reactionary attitude” opposing him within the U.S. Roman Catholic Church, one that fixates on social issues like abortion and sexuality to the exclusion of caring for the poor and the environment. The pope lamented the “backwardness” of some American conservatives who he said insist on a narrow, outdated and unchanging vision. They refuse, he said, to accept the full breadth of the Church’s mission and the need for changes in doctrine over time. “I would like to remind these people that backwardness is useless,” Francis, 86, told a group of fellow Jesuits early this month in a meeting at World Youth Day celebrations in Lisbon. “Doing this, you lose the true tradition and you turn to ideologies to have support. In other words, ideologies replace faith.” I'd say he nailed it. But when they sell their souls to Lucifer aka trump. Thats what you get. But for American Christians these words have no meaning.

Ken is making money off religion?? Why wasn't i told about it? Have you got a church/flock on the side?

I think Trump has arrived at the "Find Out" part of his Fucking Around. The NYAG in that matter is seeking $250 million in damages against trump enterprises. No wonder trump wants another run at the presidency. Rumor has it the Gambino, Lucchese, Genovese, Bonanno, and Colombo families are holding special meetings. They want to get out of prostitution, drugs, gambling and other rackets. Then go all into the obviously profitable GOP leadership. With trump's age, McConnell's age there will be all kinds of openings in the GOP.

Perhaps he was including Jared's Saudi cash? Before committing $2 billion to Mr. Kushner’s fledgling firm, officials at a fund led by the Saudi crown prince questioned taking such a big risk. He also had a steady flow of cash from offshore sources. Trump made up to $160 million from foreign countries as president

I'm very disappointment in you Joe. Everyone knows that this is Jesus, with his apostles. Speaking Mandarin obviously. and the Black version: Anti-WOKE Christians have crusaded against these true Jebus images.

I was thinking that too but a 30 second browse didn't find the "donate 10% of your gross income here" link. These televangelists need to get on board that. Gambling apps and Jebus apps they would leave nothing left for trump's lawyers.

The massive supply of guns joins with rage infused mentally disabled. A pride flag!....what others do in their bedrooms!... all a good reasons to kill and be killed. Just like the recent shooting of innocent Blacks by a White supremacist racist. Yet debate on these issues is sidetracked by WOKE issues, trump corruption, etc. More fuel to the fire about how the US is on the wrong track.
