US Dollar Slides to 4-month Low on Efforts to Boost Japanese Yen Can someone please explain how using US assets and powers to prop up a foreign currency and thereby weaken the US dollar is "America First?" Why is an "America First" US government even concerned about the Japanese Yen? Why is...

I can't do anything to correct your intentional blindness. I can rise to join the millions of Americans now calling to abolish ICE and hold those with ice who committed crimes accountable for their deeds. Even in places where there have been no ICE incidents, putting armed, unidentified, and...

Trump to "De-escalate a Little Bit" "President Donald Trump said his administration was 'going to de-escalate a little bit' in Minnesota, after the second fatal shooting of a US citizen by federal immigration officers there. 'Bottom line, it was terrible. Both of them were terrible,' he said...

When a US president attacks innocent US citizens with masked, unidentified, armed troops, that's about as serious as anything gets.

Minnesota Republican Drops Governor Bid, Cites "retribution on the citizens of our state" "I cannot support the national Republicans’ stated retribution on the citizens of our state," Chris Madel said in a message posted on social media Monday ... "Nor can I count myself a member of a party...

State-Sponsored Violence As an interested investor, I frequently watch interviews of foreign investment analysts. Today I heard something shocking as one of these analysts was interviewed by Bloomberg. This was not a political interview. It was about the global economy. As he ticked through...

If You Own Gold and Silver, Love Trump. If You Own US Dollars, Not So Much Since Trump took office on Jan 20, 2025: Gold +87% Silver +260% US Dollar -11.2% Reasons for the surge include the high-tension geopolitics Trump has created with his trade wars, imperialistic impulses and military...

More announced plans with NOTHING different on the ground in Venezuela. Trump has laid the groundwork for a Viet Nam, Afghanistan- like quagmire. The minute he puts any US assets in Venezuela intending to get its oil or for any other purpose, he drags our country deeper in. This conflicts...

Yes it did, and more so now. Trump's tariff threats proved meaningless to BRICS's continuing and accelerating anti-dollar actions. And Trump's actions intensified their resolve.

It's Confirmed by the Man Himself. Donald Trump is Lawless and Has Gone Mad When asked in a NY Times interview published Jan 8 if there were any legal or international limits on his authority to order military actions, he replied, "Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s...

You are missing my point because, as you always do, you run everything through your left-wrong, right-right filter. My point is that BOTH parties can come together to balance the budget when they want to, and they indeed have. In the present fiscal emergency, they need to do so again. Either one...

Trump is either saber rattling to keep the focus off the Epstein files, or he is a madman out of control. His self-serving disrespect for the sovereignty of other nations is isolating America in the world. Trade wars are no longer sufficient to scratch his war-monger itch. He wants the real thing.

The last time the federal budget was actually balanced, was a bipartisan White House/Congress effort when Bill Clinton was president. Democrats and Republicans can come together to do this when they want to. The growing national debt problem has been a problem for many years no matter what...

While I like the result, it's disappointing that the measure did not pass with more Republican support. Trump is a lawless president, becoming increasingly so as his dementia advances. We're in a very dangerous situation in which our president feels free to commit murder and acts of war wherever...

They have before ... decisively. Social Security Amendments of 1983

I am distressed about Trump being president, but I do not frame my life around him or make everything about him (like you just did).

That's good. Sad that the people they vote for do not.

I do not know the man beyond what he posts here. I do sometimes wonder if he is a happy man.

There you go again. Lifting a fact or two out of the soup and using it to proclaim all is well. This is a logical fallacy formally known as hasty generalization. It's also a cognitive distortion known as overgeneralization.

Neither does the right, and that's the problem.
