That's what they say, anyway.

Here's DJT apparently stopping a Fox softball interview with him after he inadvertently brings up these shady groups that handle his "investments".

"Democrats accuse Trump-linked fundraisers of fraud over diverted donations for America's anniversary

House Democrats allege consultants tied to President Donald Trump may have engaged in financial fraud related to the nation's 250th anniversary celebrations

The report draws in part on interviews by Democratic staffers of the House Committee on Natural Resources. Those interviews suggest that donors seeking to celebrate America fell for a bait-and-switch that, if true, could have violated various criminal statutes.

Donors who were intending to contribute funds to America250, a bipartisan committee created by Congress, were instead given the banking and routing numbers for a different but similarly named group, Freedom 250, the Democratic report says.

The key difference was that Freedom 250 was set up under the auspices of Trump's Republican administration to be "a vehicle for a Christian nationalist, partisan, and Trump-centered vision of American identity," according to the report.

Freedom 250, which has denied the report's claims, has focused on staging big splashy events largely held in Washington, such as the UFC cage fight at the White House on Trump's 80th birthday, the Great American State Fair on the National Mall and the upcoming July 4 celebration featuring a Trump speech and a fireworks extravaganza the president is touting as the "show of a lifetime.""

RLR for the win!

"I have investigated cases focusing on the facts and law throughout my career. We did this case the same way, under the same standards," Smith told MS NOW.

"The thing that's important for your viewers to know is those standards are not meant to change from one administration to the next, and in my experience " until now " they haven't."

In the election interference case, Smith said Trump was culpable in the storming of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after he lost to Joe Biden in the November election.

The rioters were trying to stop the House from certifying the election results after Trump told them to march to the Capitol.

Smith also indicted Trump on federal criminal charges of retaining classified documents at his Mar-a-Largo home in Florida after his first term ended."

Trump's own hand-picked, loyal DOJ testified they had threatened to resign en masse if he told them one more time to break the Law by telling States to remove Biden's name on Ballots and replace it with Trump's.

Had Smith not sought to prosecute Trump's many crimes, given all the Evidence, he could have lost his own job.

I like the optimism!

Russians should be so lucky.

"Staff working in Putin's immediate vicinity have reportedly been banned from using mobile phones or other internet-connected devices or using public transport. They have also had security systems installed inside their homes.

Even wristwatches have reportedly entered the blacklist, with officials ordered to take them off in Putin's presence since around mid-April, according to a source speaking to the Telegram channel Mozhem Obyasnit.

FSO service has proved a springboard to the Kremlin elite. It serves as a trusted pool of loyalists for roles in regional governance and other senior positions."

So... no Trump watches for the Putin Protection Team?

AI Overview

The United States is considered a capitalist country, not a democratic socialist one. Its economy is primarily driven by free markets and private property ownership, though the government utilizes certain social programs like Medicare and Social Security, making it a mixed-market economy.

"Holy Mother of God, JD Vance Really Thinks He Knows Better Than Pope Leo XIV

Holy Mother of God, JD Vance Really Thinks He Knows Better Than Pope Leo XIV

Hey, Mr. Vice President, try to learn your job before you presume to teach the pope his.

(quotes Vance's earlier comments in April)

"The stunning arrogance present in these words is perfectly consonant with the worldview of the techno-bro elite that produced the sophisticated malware that is J Divan Vance's political career.

Inexpertise is valued as "common sense" in our democracy these days.

That's a huge problem. Its mirror image is the idea that expertise in one field means expertise in all of them. George W. Bush was an example of the former. Peter Thiel"and Vance"are examples of the other.

(My opinion on the millennia's worth of bloody mischief derived from "Just War" theology is for another day.)

The pope has "to be careful when he talks about matters of theology"? Who in the hell are you when you're at home, Sparky?

Oh, and the last time you "spoke about public policy," it involved a bizarre analogy about your wife and skydiving " or, as you put it, "jumping out of an airplane," a feeling that must come over your wife every time the two of you go wheels up.

Try to learn your job before you presume to teach the pope his."

And just to Note...

... what he is whining about is form, not substance (Surprise!); the sign is in a similar 'what we believe' format to the Creed, which is about the Nature of God and Christ, not about human responsibility which is the subject of the sign.

the historical context is here:

"Did Trump inherit a good economy from Biden?

AI Overview
Yes, by many major macroeconomic measures, Donald Trump inherited a strong and stabilizing economy from Joe Biden in January 2025, though public perception of the economy remained heavily divided.

Key indicators from the handover show a mixed but resilient economic picture:

Growth & Stock Market: The incoming administration inherited record-setting highs on Wall Street and annualized Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth running above 2.5%.

Jobs & Wages: The labor market was generally stable, with unemployment hovering around 4.1%. Real wages had started consistently outpacing inflation, restoring purchasing power.

Inflation: Inflation had cooled down significantly to around 2.4% from its post-pandemic peaks, moving close to the Federal Reserve's 2.0% target.

Federal Reserve: The Fed had begun cutting its benchmark interest rates, which provided additional breathing room for businesses and borrowers."
