The President promised prices would go back down. In a healthy economy, they almost never do. The normal pattern is: prices jump, then over time your paycheck catches up. The pain comes when wages don't follow—then it's not “inflation” so much as an affordability crisis.

The US is under attack from drug traffickers in the same sense I am under attack from cookie dough.
The US is not under armed attack from drug traffickers. In fact, US consumers are begging to be "attacked" with drugs and have been more than willing to pay hyperinflated prices for the privilege! Just as drinkers were once willing to pay bootleggers huge sums for booze. Remember Boardwalk Empire?

Pope Leo criticizes 'inhuman' treatment of immigrants in US
Pope Leo on Tuesday appeared to offer his strongest criticism yet of U.S. President Donald Trump's hardline immigration policies, questioning whether they were in line with the Catholic Church's pro-life teachings.

Trump is singularly responsible for moral debasing of civic discourse in America. He and his enablers have created the permission structure and tolerance for behavior that would have drawn gasps in the past.
Trump says "hate-filled rhetoric" fuels violence and must end. Maybe he should talk to the guy who calls his political opponents "sick, sinister, and evil people" who are "trying to destroy our country" because they are "communists," "Marxists," "lunatics," "vermin," and "the enemy from within."
The standard for 'vicious' speech Trump laid out after Kirk's murder would implicate Trump himself
Freedom of speech cannot reliably protect conservatives unless it also protects people they despise.

A $100k “price” for H1-B visas is like a tariff on STEM labor.
And the first rule of tariffs is clear: never tax your inputs — that just makes American firms less competitive than their foreign competitors.

Until the TCJA, the top 400 US individuals by wealth and the full US population both had effective tax rates of ~30%. The TCJA reduced the Top 400 individuals’ total effective tax rates to 23.8% in 2018 – 2020, well below those of the full population (still ~30%).
