SCOTUS granted ICE approval to racially profile *some people* while litigation proceeds.

The ruling applies to Central LA but if it sticks could set precedent nationally.

Not gonna help Trumps job numbers all around.

Dum Dum JD pushed this out hard when he hijacked Kirk’s podcast the other day
September 17, 2025 at 5:12 PM
And now his no new jobs reports excuse will be that HIS numbers need time to get up to speed.

And BTW, Trump is actually now saying HIS economy won’t be online until 2027?

No one is buying that crap.
We are FULLY in the Trump economy now based on his policies.

It’s all so ridiculously embarrassing.

The level the tech CEOs have to go down to in order to manipulate Trump, and benefit their companies by staying off his Truth radar, is incredibly transparent to all but Trump himself

Trump might be basking in the praise but he’s the one being manipulated

Jerry played all his gambler favorites.
Healy mixed in casino sounds from the lobby during Space.
Caught this one and the two Long Beach shows a couple days before.
What great times those were…

If higher prices from tariffs in October don’t move the needle I don’t know what else will.

The poll had the typical polarization- Dems on one end, Republicans on the other. Nothing new.

Independents will also need to decidedly move against Trump, and they have in recent month polls I’ve seen

2/2
to Taiwan Semi (despite Reuters saying not) but their first fab will only produce less then 10% of US need.

And their 2ed and 3rd might not be up and running until
2028, 2029, 2030.

Trump is just putting a chip down on INTC.

Bernie and Warren talking semantics about grants.

Intel is currently a third rate semi co. losing a boatload of money. Good luck on that ROI.

Trump is stepping out to prop up Intel for nat sec reasons in case China takes Taiwan & Taiwan semi with it.
Yes, the CHIPS Act already given billions 1/2

The ads ran during the World Series and Sunday NFL to make sure they hit the alpha male demo.

Amazing how republicans amplified negativity of such a small segment of the population, around 1-2%, or ~ 15,000 people, to swing voters and win a portion of that demographic.

All the executive orders, including tariffs since he skipped Congress on them, can be reversed should a democrat president win the next election.

Unfortunately, we have another 3.5 years of chaos.
I do hope he gets neutered by the midterms though.

Brazil has a trade surplus with the U.S., not a deficit
July 13, 2025 at 4:37 PM
It’s only the beginning.
These guys will be everywhere soon.
From the way it’s going now, I’m not sure how this is stoppable.

Fed day will be unwatchable with Hassett. I already turn off his stupid smirk and lying eyes when he appears on @cnbc.com

So, any new bullshit you hear today out of Netanyahu, PRAISING DER LIEDER, is exactly that considering Israel’s terms are
>>> Israel wants Hamas to surrender and disarm before it ends the war.<<<

“Yes sir! We’re breaking ground real soon!
Up in Wisconsin, near the Foxconn plant that never quite got built”

“Now, this might take a few years but we’re in it!”

Apple has nearly $50B in cash. They could string this along with plans for a long time in order not to alienate their customers base

5/Medicaid cuts don’t just threaten individual coverage; they threaten jobs and local economies. As #EGgrantee @robertmanduca.bsky.social writes, Medicaid fuels a bigger part of the local economy than the biggest industry in many U.S. states. equitablegrowth.org/medicaid-and...
