The Supreme Court decision changes more than people may first realize if they get past Trump himself. The headline is major defeat for Trump. Everyone is focusing on that and on how the massive tariff messes Trump illegally created get unwound. The bigger and more impactful story includes the...

It's not just the "MAGA morons" you see on TV parading their stupidity about as if it's a flag to be waved. I know numerous people who are highly intelligent, highly educated, and successful in business and life that buy into Trump's swill as well. I have yet to make sense of this phenomenon...

All This Trade War Mayhem and Import Taxes ... And For What? In the international trade arena, Trump launched trade wars against pretty much every country in the world, including our allies. The whole idea was to reduce the US trade deficit. With the 2025 full-year results now in, we see the...

Gemini Confirms, and I concede that the tax cuts from the Big Beautiful Bill are significant and real. It is also important to note that: the bill has a net cost of $3.4 trillion over the 2025–2034 period, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). When you factor in the additional...

Your happy dance said, "The Trump economy is working. Deficits coming down. Tariffs and the threat to use them have proven to be beneficial. People are.just starting to get their bigger refunds. Economy will boom even bigger. Trump was right, again." But you quantified the difference between...

Can you quantify any of this from direct sources (not Grok or other AI)? Use AI to find the sources, but show us the sources themselves. Raw data. For example, here I used Gemini to find this recent news item: The latest Federal Reserve G.19 report, released on February 6, 2026, shows that...

Interesting piece but other than a certain meeting and a certain phone call, there are few facts, and even the meeting and call report is vague. The piece draws no conclusions and I can't either with more info. Am I suspicious of wrongdoing or corruption? Absolutely ... this is the Trump...

Trump "The Crypto President" a Bust During the 2024 campaign, Donald Trump pivoted from calling crypto a "scam" to branding himself the "Crypto President." This shift was fueled by massive support from industry billionaires like David Sacks, who hosted a $12 million fundraiser for him, and...

Red Counties HATE ICE Too Hanover County VA is a deep-red, Republican stronghold. See the screenshot for it's voting results. The people there recently turned out in mass to CRUSH ICE's plans to set up a detention center there. Six of the seven County Board of Supervisors are Republican. The...

The core of the news story relies on high-level unnamed sources from major news outlets. However, both primary participants (Trump and Schumer) have now gone on the record to confirm that the topic of renaming Penn Station was indeed discussed, though they vehemently disagree on who initiated...

Trump Egomaniac (literally) Trump is withholding billions of dollars in New York infrastructure funding unless he gets Penn Station and Dulles Airport named after him. Brazen corruption. Sick and twisted for an elected official to do this. Where are the sane Republicans rising against this?

Go ahead and continue to dream your dream. It's meaningless to me. My activist boots are on and I'm with those actually fighting to make things right.
