Why does Pres Trump so often lower himself to using known lies to back up his comments?

Those nuclear facilities need to be taken out and sooner rather than later, and could care less as if whether Israel or we do it.

A point to ponder: Currently both Russia and China have hypersonic missiles, and we have no answer for that at this time to stop them.

Texas should have not have had to do what is the purview of the US Govt, but during the biden administration our libbie dem govt FAILED in performance of their legal responsibilities on protecting our boarder. IMO Texas should be compensated.

Sources for CNN - that pretty much says it all.

chuckie boy blames Trump for the accident at the Brooklyn Bridge, whereas it was poor seamanship on behalf of the Mexican captain of the vessel, by not checking the charts for the height clearance of the bridge. I've traveled in the intercostal, and always checked charts to ensure the mast of my sloop would clear bridges.

So, the US is so broke, it can't even buy a decent credit rating like everyone else does.

Good work, Republicans.

Red tide stretches from Tampa Bay to the Florida Keys: what ...
Red tide, a natural phenomenon caused by the algae Karenia brevis, has been observed in the Florida Keys for many years, particularly during the late summer and early fall months. While red tide occurs annually, the severity varies, with some years experiencing super blooms. For example, a super bloom lasted from September 2017 to January 2019. Other years with notable red tide occurrences include 2005-06, 1994-96, and 2018.
Specific Years with Red Tide in the Florida Keys:
2018:
A significant red tide bloom impacted the Florida Keys, particularly in the Sarasota and Manatee areas.
2017-2019:
A super bloom persisted for an extended period, from September 2017 to January 2019.
2005-2006:
A super bloom that began in 2005 was one of the worst in Florida's history.
1994-1996:
A two-year super bloom occurred, extending from Pinellas County nearly to Key West.
1844:
The first scientifically documented red tide episode in U.S. waters occurred in the Gulf, near Panama City.
1878:
A protracted period of red tide episodes began, lasting for 10 years.
1884:
The first incident of human sickness from red-tide-infected shellfish was recorded in Florida.
Factors Affecting Red Tide Severity:
Super blooms:
These occur roughly every 10 years and are characterized by intense and prolonged blooms.
Warm water and nutrients:
Red tide organisms thrive in warm, nutrient-rich waters, which can be influenced by factors like hurricanes.
Winds and currents:
These can transport the algae, causing them to spread and affect different areas.
Cold spells:
Cold spells can cause blooms to move farther south and stay offshore.
Impact of Red Tide:
Respiratory irritation: Red tide can cause eye and respiratory irritation in humans.
Fish mortality: Large-scale red tide events can result in significant fish deaths.
Economic losses: Red tide can impact tourism, shellfish harvesting, and other coastal industries.

PERSONAL NOTE: Experienced Red Tide a few times when working at Bahia Honda State Park, FL Keys back in the '90s. No an uncommon event.

" Red tide blooms in the Florida Keys during the 1990s were most notable in 1994 and 1996. In 1994, a two-year bloom began, and in 1996, red tide returned after a brief respite and extended from Pinellas County nearly to Key West, according to a red-tide timeline. Additionally, 1998 marked the first year of an unbroken run of annual red-tide episodes that continues to this day, according to the red-tide timeline."

Other recent years downgrades.

Moody's downgraded the US credit rating on May 16, 2025, dropping the country from Aaa to Aa1. This downgrade follows a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating by Fitch Ratings in 2023 and S&P Global Ratings in 2011.

I believe that Israel should just leave the Palestinians alone, and of course that's means no longer providing supplies of water, fuel, etc., as they want to rule themselves and do require anything from Israel. Self-rule for the Palestinians!

If the 'leaders' of those countries do not want their populace to have access to the Internet, Trump should stay out of it, because if the citizens get access it may lead to turmoil and strife in those countries.

IMO no USA pressure should be applied concerning internet access, as we all know the 'leader' of a country knows what is best for their citizens......

Periodically. similar happend in the FL Keys when I lived there form '91 to '02:

"Red tide is a naturally occurring phenomenon and develops due to a high concentration of microscopic algae (Karenia brevis), which are plant-like organisms. Red tide has been documented along Gulf of Mexico coastal areas and in the Gulf of Mexico since the 1800s. In Florida, it was officially recorded in 1844."

Cool.... Trump's American 4th Reich will be pleased for the helpful info.

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

#14 | POSTED BY CLOWNSHACK AT 2025-05-12 05:05 PM | FLAG: | NEWSWORTHY 1: Foolish Clown-like response so go back to remedial Supply and Demand class. The recent demand has not decreased, rather currently our cattle herds are as small as they were decades ago.

FYI: "The US cattle herd is currently at a historic low, with the total number of cattle and calves estimated at 86.7 million head on January 1, 2025. This marks the sixth consecutive year of contraction for the national cattle herd. The number of beef cows has declined to 27.9 million head, representing a 1% decrease from the previous year."

Again, I am not surprised that a libbie like you, with little to no Economics acumen, cannot comprehend a simple example of Supply vs Demand

Maybe Trump firing 400 FAA workers wasn't the brightest idea.

#18 | POSTED BY SYCOPHANT AT 2025-05-12 10:33 AM | FLAG: Actually the AtCs were not the problem as if you actually comprehended the article you would know that the old equipment is the culprit.

REF the equipment/facilities: "Its antiquated facilities and equipment and software," Guzzetti said. Many facilities still rely on floppy disks and copper wire. He said: "It's all coming to a head now in New York and Newark."

Trump has absolutely nothing to do with the price of been - hwere is thee reality:

Had any of you ever taken business classes you would be aware of what is referred to as to Supply and demand:
"Supply and demand are fundamental economic concepts describing the relationship between the availability of goods or services and consumers' desire for them. Supply refers to the amount of goods or services producers are willing to offer at various prices, while demand refers to the amount consumers are willing to purchase at those prices."

FYI: Beef prices are high due to a combination of factors impacting both supply and demand within the cattle and beef industry.
1. Reduced Cattle Supply:
Drought: Persistent drought conditions in key cattle-producing regions have led to reduced pasture quality and higher feed costs, causing ranchers to decrease herd sizes.
Herd Liquidation: Years of drought and high feed costs have forced ranchers to sell off cattle, reducing the overall breeding stock and leading to a smaller calf crop.
Cattle Cycle: The natural cattle cycle involves periods of herd expansion and contraction, and the industry is currently experiencing a period of contraction, according to the Economic Research Service (ERS).
2. Rising Production Costs:
Feed Costs: The price of feed grains like corn and soybeans, which are crucial for cattle feed, has increased due to factors like drought and global demand, impacting the cost of raising cattle.
Input Costs: Overall production costs, including labor, energy, and transportation, have also increased, adding to the financial burden on ranchers and processors.
3. Strong Consumer Demand:
Consistent Demand: Despite higher prices, consumer demand for beef remains strong, especially for premium cuts, keeping prices elevated.
Grilling Season: Demand typically increases during grilling season, further supporting higher prices.
4. Trade Dynamics:
Tariffs: New tariffs on imported beef from certain countries can increase the cost of imported beef, potentially impacting domestic prices, according to NerdWallet.
Exports: Changes in export markets and trade policies can also influence beef availability and prices in the US.
In summary, a combination of a smaller cattle herd, higher production costs, strong consumer demand, and trade factors have contributed to elevated beef prices.

FYI:April 27, 1994
Three decades ago, on April 27, 1994, after centuries of white rule, Black South Africans voted in general elections for the first time. This marked the official end of apartheid rule, cemented days later when Nelson Mandela was sworn in as the country's first Black president.

Maybe you should educate yourself before making assumptions. The Afrikaners, and Anglophones are fleeing from there because not safe for them nowadays.

Most libbies here never were incapable of realizing those high tariffs on China were just a negotiation tool - more the fools you be.

'Most'? As usual, a slanted poll to elicit negative press againe the administration. the again, the liberal dems her fall for just about any fake news as long as it is against Trump , and as usual none of you will comment later once learn that it was all BS - typical.

The tariffs are not 'set in stone' yet as this is the negotiation phase.
