I still can’t believe Scott Bessent, whose net worth is $521 million, went on TV and claimed that he “has felt the pain” of the trade war because he is a “soybean farmer.”
And he claims to be a “farmer” not because he grows things, but because he is a landlord of some farmers.

Denise Rosales has never been arrested. She’s never been handcuffed or spent a night in jail.
Yet, if you perform a background check, a criminal database maintained by the FBI will say that she was charged with three crimes in January 2021.

For the record.
My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

The threat from the Russians is increasing every day, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said.
He said that the latest Russian missile technology makes it possible for the missile to fly from the "frontline" countries, such as the Baltic states, to Western European countries in 5-10 minutes.
