This is the most energy I’ve ever seen someone put into convincing people they have a girlfriend.
Kash Patel: "Yes, I'm entitled to a personal life just like my other agency counterparts with their partners. So do I support my girlfriend? Absolutely. And do I take trips with her? Absolutely."

It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?

The war on Christmas begins…
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:

"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

Q: Food prices are still going up. Grocery prices are still going up. How do you respond?

MIKE JOHNSON: All of the economist have shown that food prices always go up. There's an inflationary level that's built in to grocery prices.

The terrorization continues. The level of trauma these thugs are willing to inflict on our community knows no bounds. I hope these stories reach everyone in the country.

Traumatizing communities, families and children is MAGA’s America.

Awful. It shakes you to the core to hear her screams.

Everyone walking by in the airport is realizing that they now live in a country where this can happen anywhere, anytime.
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

I once had to film an interview in Kid Rock’s Nashville bar.

The options for the background were a sign that said “Big Ass” or a sign that said “Cadillac Pussy”
Kid Rock: Do you know what is stupid… these chicks running around on campuses with blue hair, five nose rings.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Just picked up my son from school in Chicago.

He told me they all stayed inside for 15 minutes at the end of school because there was an ICE van sitting outside during pickup. He’s at a neighborhood school in Bucktown with a bilingual program.

This is just another way to pass money to Bessent’s rich friends.

Most of these subsidies will likely go to larger corporate farms and wealthy owners. Small farmer portions of these subsidies are typically very small.
Bessent: "It's unfortunate that Chinese leadership has decided to use American soybean farmers as a hostage or pawn in the trade negotiations. American farmers overwhelmingly voted for President Trump ... you should expect news on Tuesday on substantial support for our farmers."
