So Trump is stating that we will make enough money on tariffs to both pay down the National debt and possibly eliminate income tax.Not sure where he gets his figures, but the amount he quotes is literally 3 times the amount of total trade from various countries rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/tariffs...
Tariffs Can’t Replace the Income Tax - Roosevelt Institute
The 1870s were a golden age for tax policy—at least if you ask Donald Trump. It’s true that the US had tariffs, and no income tax, in the late 1800s. It’s worth remembering what else the US didn’t hav...

I have no idea what to make of MTG. Going from diehard Trumper to being one of a very few R's that make some sense. Leopard changing her spots? Seeing the tide changing and fearing for her job in 26? Regardless, I will give her points for pissing off Trump. www.cbsnews.com/news/marjori...

It is often said that we are judged by the company we keep. In Trump's case, it should be by those he has pardoned. Don't think any of us rational folk are surprised by who he gives a get out of jail free card. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Now we are sending a Carrier Battle Group to the Caribbean. Why? We already have too many forces, and Trump and Hesgeth has them breaking International Maritime Law. On top of that, for the first time in forever, we do NOT have a Carrier Battle Group in the Middle East.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

Trump,yet again is showing his love for Dictators. He has not condemned Vlad, and still believes Vlad will do a peace deal closer to what Trump wants ( but Ukraine will reject) and thinks that Kim still " loves " him. Nope, they are using the idiot. www.axios.com/2025/08/26/t...
"Great relationship": Trump at South Korea summit says he wants to meet with Kim Jong-un
"I'm not supposed to say I really like him a lot ... but I got along with him very well," Trump said.

Yesterday, a 22 year Army Vet was arrested as he burned a flag in protest to Trump's EO calling for it to be a crime.Yet that same EO acknowledges that when done,as a political protest,is protected by Freedom Of Speech. So,
why the EO?Distract from the #Epsteinfiles? www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...
Despite Trump’s Tough Talk, Flag Burning Is Protected Speech

What we are seeing with the D's is more " resistance ". What we need is a P2026 or whatever you want. IMHO, the key to stopping the progress of P2025, and it has made major progress, is way to slow/stop it. P2026 has got to be a specific plan to get the majority in either the Senate or House.

While Trump wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we're mobilizing everywhere else to show that organized people power is stronger than his authoritarian aspirations. app.sosha.ai/s/ym0nMwG3

All the BS moves Trump & Co have pulled is all a distraction. They figure if the " flood the zone" with abuse of power, ignoring the Constitution, they can sneak this crap plus becoming an Authoritarian Government out of sight. So, we do our best to make others awate
No religion on earth would condone this level of indifference and hypocrisy; none, Nada, Zip!

Excuse me Mr. "President"? Not sure which word you fear the most. Diversity? Equity? or Inclusion? If this was funding to improve the life of let's say the Mar-A-Lago area, would it be illegal then? My bet is no. www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

FYI, the VIX or volatility index pretty much measures risk. Also know as the fear index. It has triple since Trump took office, and is at its highest point since COVID. And we all know what happened then. www.google.com/search?q=vol...
