The United States needs leaders with a common-sense approach.
National survey (consulting firm Mercer) of 1,700 businesses who offer health insurance to employees say in 2026 they face steepest increase in medical costs in 15 years—6.7%, on top of 6% in 2025. Yet #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice & his cabal in Congress DO NOTHING! Is that what you voted for America?

#Trump claimed on social media that Americans could purchase their own, "much better healthcare," & have money "left over" if funds weren't allocated to "money sucking Insurance Companies" through the ACA. You know what else could remove insurance companies from healthcare?

#WhiteSox acquired Everson Pereira & Tanner Murray from Tampa for pitchers Yoendrys Gómez & Steven Wilson. Pereira is 24 and Murray is 26. Ryan Fuller, Sox Director of Hitting, YOU’RE UP!!

#Trump ordering military to kill supposed “drug runners” off coast of Venezuela is patently illegal. Which raises this question! Are military personnel who follow his orders culpable & could they be prosecuted for murder or war crimes under both military & international law?

#TACOTrump caves on CEASE FIRE demand for #UkraineWar after meeting with HIS BOSS #PutinIsaWarCriminal.
“It’s really up to President Zelensky to get it done,” #TrumpIsARussianAsset said. “I would also say the European nations, they have to get involved a little bit.” CluckCluck…

Democratic Party needs to message. #Trump power grab in #Texas is happening because Ted Cruz blocked Senate bill 2670 in 2021. The bill would have required states to establish INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING COMMISSIONS to carry out House congressional redistricting & eliminate gerrymandering.

Well #WhiteSox  fans I guess we can scratch Jonathan Cannon from the list of pitchers who will turn this team into a contender. Maybe AAA should be in his future?

#MLB prospect rankings really are weird! They have Ethan Holiday rated FIRST! He has 2 grades over 50: power 65; arm 55; with an overall of 60. While #WhiteSox draft pick Billy Carlson is ranked 7th; with 3 gradings over 50: field 70, arm 65 & run 55. Yet he has overall of 55? Huh?? 🤔

According to the World Trade Organization, US nonagricultural exports to the EU face an average tariff rate of 1%. Agricultural goods face a slightly higher barrier, 3.9%. Yet the “economic genius” #TrumpTariffs has issued a 30% tariff on the EU claiming this in his letter… 😱

What #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace and his sycophants in the #MAGA world don’t comprehend or admit is this basic fact: If the US did not have a trade deficit in manufactured goods, then manufacturing might be 12.5% of employment rather than 10%; not the 25% it was in 1970. More facts…

After a couple of decades during which U.S. power demand has remained relatively stagnant, domestic electricity consumption is expected to spike by 25% from 2023- to 2035 & roughly 60% from 2023 to 2050, according to the International Energy Agency. #Trump #BigBeautifulBill does this…

Survey of 800 employers by intelligent.com says Gen Z’ers are ill-prepared for workforce: 47% say job candidates dress inappropriately for interviews; 21% had a job candidate refuse to turn on their camera for virtual interview; and,
19% report a college graduate brought parent to job interview.

Well #WhiteSox Shane Smith All-Star chances are going 👋👋! Last three starts 0-3, 11 IP, 16 ER, 16 Hits.

#Trump administration so desperate to deport Kilmar Garcia that they decide not to deport a CRIMINAL!

#Trump sycophant Emil Bove has been nominated by #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit. Let’s now watch again as the #MAGA #GOP rubber stamps another unqualified & corrupt Trump nominee. #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace but so are Republicans in Congress.

MSM is focused on #IranVsIsrael conflict & now America’s involvement. But the rest of the #Trump policy agenda continues to goose-step on. Policies that will be especially severe for rural areas & small towns, the very areas that overwhelmingly supported #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice in 2024.
June 23, 2025 at 3:30 PM
How can anyone argue with the success the #WhiteSox have made with pitching acquisitions from the Milwaukee Brewers. Smith is in their long term plans. Houser could be an excellent trade chip at deadline. Now add Aaron Civale to that equation.
June 14, 2025 at 2:55 PM
But can he hit? Because this #WhiteSox team has a woefully weak offense. It’s why they continue to lose.

#Trump tax bill heavily skews top 1%; average $70,000 reduction in income taxes, according to Tax Policy Center. More than 1/3 of tax breaks will go to those earning $460,000+ a year. Middle class will get average $2-3,000 tax break. Bottom 30% of population will be losers. Plus Medicare cuts! 😱

US Supreme Court (ACTIVIST JUSTICES) gives #DOGE the OK to access #SocialSecurity data! 😱 DATA BREACH of millions of senior citizens personal data to follow!!

#Whitesox once again lost a one run game because they got shut out for 7 innings by a MEDIOCRE PITCHER. The #Orioles starter Zach Eflin in his prior two starts before yesterday, gave up 13 runs on 15 hits over 10 1/3 innings.

In 3-0 decision, judges from U.S. Court of International Trade—including #Trump appointee Judge Timothy Reif—wrote: "Because of the Constitution's express allocation of the tariff power to Congress...we do not read IEEPA to delegate an unbounded tariff authority to the POTUS."

#WhiteSox WIN!!
May 28, 2025 at 8:31 PM
RHP Wikelman Gonzalez was the 4th player #WhiteSox acquired from Boston in trade of Garrett Crochet. While the focus has been on Chase Meidroth, Kyle Teel & Braden Montgomery, Gonzalez is showing real potential as relief pitcher at AA & now AAA; 29 IP, only 16 hits allowed with 35 Ks.
May 26, 2025 at 3:23 PM
In the last 30 games #WhiteSox number 4 prospect, Braden Montgomery, is slashing .299/.390/.516 with 7 HRs and 37 RBI.
