This sounds like the start of a conversation to put Paw Paw in an assisted living center.

For a quick timeline cleanse, it was raining this morning so I did my morning walk in the afternoon where the windy weather created this pretty carpet of autumn leaves on a neighbor's lawn. Tap for full size. I hope you have had a great day!

Ghislaine Maxwell is an unrepentant child sex predator. So why would an American President even consider commuting her sentence? This would be a national disgrace.

When prices rise because *demand* is hot, wages usually follow. When prices rise because tariffs raise costs -- a *supply* shock -- there’s no reason paychecks catch up. That’s why tariff inflation hurts a whole heckuva lot more. It's a permanent reduction in living standards.

The fact that someone was fooled by a spoof from a website (literally) called the Dunning-Kruger Times has no bearing at all on my confidence that he would definitely have the upper hand in any negotiation with President Xi, or Putin.
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

My favorite thing about this thread is the reply guys who have never encountered Australian-style sarcasm before.
WOLFERS: “.. I can’t tell you why the president lies, but I can tell you that everything he has said about prices being lower is a lie. .. I’m starting to think that he doesn’t actually care about the cost of living.”

I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly.
A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here.

It can be hard to do math in your head, while standing up, on national television. Nerve-wracking, too. But even so, in twenty seconds on the air, I did a better job than the President in costing his latest idea and figuring out whether his new idea of a $2,000 rebate check will work. (It won't.)
