Two Trillion Dollars Actually, $2.23 trillion. That's how much the US national debt has increased since Trump took office in January, 2025. (Source: U.S. Treasury’s Fiscal Data "Debt to the Penny" dataset and reports) Contributing factors to this accelerating growth of the national debt...

When two people accuse each other of being ignorant, people tend to believe them both.

I'm sure you think so but an objective observer cannot help but note that you are comparing a future hope against real prices being reported by a real citizen this moment. When looking at lower drug prices, you can do just that. Take a single product, cite the Trump-induced cost reduction and...

Epstein Files Update In January 2026, the Department of Justice admitted in a letter to a federal judge that it has released less than 1% of the total documents required under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. While the law mandated a full release by late December 2025, officials stated that...

Once again we see the dynamic play out; real-world reality vs. a hoped-for better outcome and Trump supporters evaluating Trump by the hope they place in him.

Trump and Soybean Farmers Me asking Google Gemini: Soybean farmers were in the news a few months ago complaining about China's soybean purchase halt. Trump promised relief and China said they would resume their soybean purchases. Did they ever get any money -- actual money -- from the US...

Including those who are burning their red hats today.

Concur all you wish. It's what Trump true believers do. As I said, there will always be some who always believe in Trump. I take comfort in the fact that the total number is declining.

While Trump continues to voice his friction-free Venezuela daydream in public, the Venezuela government has confirmed none of it. Trump can't even produce one US oil company executive who is willing to relocate to Venezuela, let alone a company willing to pour the billions of dollars into the...

I have come to accept that no matter how much evidence to the contrary Trump produces, there will always be some people who believe Trump is/was a great president. Even as we see prominent MAGA believers (e.g. Marjorie Taylor Green, the QAnon shamon, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, John Kelly, Bill...

Trump Says He Could be Impeached if Republicans Lose Congress in Midterms Trump is correct

I don't understand what you are asking. In the past year, the price of gold and silver have gone up. Anyone who bought gold or silver early in the year benefited. Whether someone benefited from investing in the stock market depends on what stocks they bought. Whether anyone in any economic...

That's the best thing you have going for you and it makes life on the road a joy. I've been out of the business for 12 years but was in for 10. My wife and I entered with zero experience and began with a fleet owner in a DR-uint. Three years later, we built a truck of our own and became...

Since you already know the business, you have that part handled. Ragman's comment is golden: "As long as you are in good health, age isn't an issue." Allow me to suggest that you change your self-image a bit from happy expediter to happy and healthy expediter. It's been a while since I have...

With the research you have done, are you able to quote the failure rate for first-year van owner-operators or a reasonable approximation? Are you able to list the top 5 reasons for the failures, and does your business plan address each of them?

Does keeping the tax cuts in place instead of letting them expire help or hurt the middle class? That's what I want to determine by looking at the FULL impact of ALL tax cuts, including those given to the billionaires. Does having much lower gas prices help or hurt the middle class? Everyone...

Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Trump's Abandoning "America First." Greene seems to be operating under the delusion that "America First" ever meant anything at all.

Thank you for doing your homework and giving us something meaningful to discuss. You refer to "the tax cut" but then flood the post with references to multiple tax changes and their purported impacts. You're getting closer but this is still meaningless. I'm genuinely interested in knowing...

What you (Grok) provided was not specific, It pointed to nothing a reasonable person could use to verify that the tax cut actually exists. Employers and tax accountants regularly receive updates published by the IRS explaining tax law changes. These can be cited to substantiate your claim. Your...

You provided NOTHING verifiable. Just a claim. My question is specific. Who exactly is receiving the purported $3,000 tax cut? If it actually exists, it should be an easy matter to provide the IRS rule that grants it or examples of people actually receiving it. As an employer, I have received...
