The problem with liberals is that they are a NOW NOW NOW type thing.

Traiffs take time to have cause and effect. We never saw any issues from the recent tariff stuff. We couldn't have. That made Democrats look stupid.

And just like Wall Street knows, Trump negotiating these deals are only going to help America.

Trump saluting during the U.S. national anthem this morning in Qatar is a good way to start my day!!!

Lesson being that the way to become an Oligarch is not to pay a living wage to workers even when you could easily do so while still making a good profit.

And best of all the left has lost its sanity. Not that they had much to begin with.

WASHINGTON: The luxury 747 gifted by Qatar to Donald J. Trump was totaled after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth drove it into a tree, the Pentagon confirmed on Wednesday.

According to witnesses, Hegseth decided to give the plane a test drive after discovering it in the Pentagon parking lot with the keys in the ignition.

Soon, the jumbo jet was spotted doing wild figure 8's before veering off the lot and into the nearby woods, where it collided with a massive oak.

The regrettable incident was only the latest setback for Hegseth, who earlier this week was ordered to change his Pentagon password from JohnnieWalker750ml.

"From 2021 to 2023, the cost of affording what amounts to a basic level of economic security doubled, according to LISEP's analysis. Housing and health care costs surged, while the amount of savings required to attend an in-state, public university soared 122%."

pretty old news but yes, very true.

The above was from Corky's link where he whines that the cost of labor is a commodity. it's not a charity.

Thanks. Employers will always be greedy and focusing on the bottom line.

I work for a cooperative which focuses on the "members" which makes it easier to take care of employees. We don't have absent owners who demand their huge checks....that would suck.

The only thing that has gotten worse in Trump's second term is the democrat's behavior...

The most underqualified person to ever lead a US intelligence organization, D/DNI Tulsi Gabbard, fired the top two career officials leading the National Intelligence Council (NIC), the senior most analytical group in the USIC, whose "job it is to understand and assess the biggest threats facing the US."

"The dismissals come as Gabbard has vowed to root out what she has described as politicization of the intelligence community, and launched a war on leaks to the media that critics say is hollowing out the intelligence community of needed expertise from experienced professionals."

This purge should not be a surprise to anyone. The NIC recently contradicted Trumpf's lies about Venezuela Pres Maduro's alleged ties to violent street gang Tren de Aragua. By the end of this four year nightmare, the USIC will be left with Yes-Men and toadies. WMDs in Iraq! Fight them there before they come here!! Etc etc.
