Drudge Retort: Recent Comments

More from the article ...

... Two people wearing black climbed to the top of the Empire State Building's transmitter, and by the time they climbed back down, they were seemingly engaged.

The couple held a pro-peace banner at the very top of the spire and shared some kisses just after noon on Wednesday.

It appeared to read, "When the power of love beats the world of power the world knows peace."

Their banner is a quote frequently attributed to guitarist Jimi Hendrix, but actually spoken by 19th-century British politician William Gladstone.

Police took some time to attempt to talk them down, but they apparently had a mission.

After spending some time at the top, the couple started climbing down a short time later. ...

Trump Made $1B from Crypto

His net worth has grown about $3 billion since first taking office in 2016. Dipped a bit while he was out of office but rocketed right back up in 2025-2026. It's nearly tripled in the last two years.

Pretty good rundown of his known assets and liabilities here: www.forbes.com

Meanwhile, the average American's spending power has decreased 7%-9% since Trump returned to the presidency. "today's prices are 1.07 times as high as average prices since 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. A dollar today only buys 93.458% of what it could buy back then" www.in2013dollars.com

So then, price variations for gold, like other traded commodities, should be the norm, subject to supply and demand?

"President Trump reaped a stunning windfall in his first year back in the White House, including about $1.4 billion from his family's cryptocurrency businesses, a new filing shows.
All told, the president pulled in at least $2.2 billion, a figure that includes other parts of his vast holdings, such as his real estate assets. That compares to a minimum of $622 million his enterprises pulled in for all of 2024, before he returned to the presidency."

First, I thought all you left losers said he was broke and no one was renting his properties? So he invests and makes money. Mean while Harris blew over 1.5 billion in just the last 3 weeks of her campaign and what does she have to show for it (beside the mansion she bought in Malibu) and was still 20 million in debt. That's the difference between GOP and Dem spending right there.

All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul.

And I hope that you die

And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead.""

Meteorologists Lack of Data Impacting Forecasts

Here's Why Weather Forecasts Have Seemed So Inaccurate Lately.

Who says forecasts are less accurate?

Weather forecasts from official services like the National Weather Service (NWS) are highly accurate for short-term windows, but their reliability steadily drops the further out they look.

As it has been for a while now.

1 to 3 days out: Highly accurate (90% to 98%).

4 to 7 days out: Generally reliable (80% accurate).

10 days or more: Less reliable (roughly 50% accurate).

I don't believe any of that has changed much. But then again I don't have access to the raw data anymore.

So, for Trump to walk away from the debacles, plural, he has caused in our democracy, he would need assurances that if he resigned, say, in a month from now, that a party hack, say JD or even Rubio, as VP, would rise to the Presidency and pardon him and his gang from any and all crimes.
