Former GOP. Despise Trump & MAGA. Here to support democracy, post some cool pics, and hang with sane folks. The photos do not belong to me. I always cite the photographer after ©️, lest unknown. DM = Block. I cannot like or repost nudes or porn.

I'll never understand the cowardice. I mean, in normal times, if you were seeking reelection, you could rationalize a bad vote by saying you had to do it so that you could have the opportunity to vote for good things later.

Wolf: What hasn’t been discussed publicly, to my knowledge, is the fact that, in my opinion, President Trump committed a crime in negotiating the settlement agreement in this case and it’s possible that Mr. Blanche would be found to be a co-conspirator in that crime. Let me try to explain…

President Donald Trump has promised a manufacturing boom in both his terms. As we reported earlier this year, while Trump's been able to get pledges for more factory investment, the actual jobs inside those factories tell a different story thus far. to.pbs.org/4bo704H

Seems relevant: Canada is creating jobs at a rate that is roughly 4x that in the United States.
Line chart titled "The pace of job growth in Canada has outpaced job growth in the United States" showing cumulative percent change in employment since December 2024 for Canada and the United States. Canada's employment has grown 1.34% while US employment has increased just 0.34%, meaning Canadian job growth has outpaced the United States by nearly four to one. Canada's employment growth accelerated sharply from 0.98% in June 2026 to 1.34% in July 2026, the highest rate in the period shown, while US employment growth has remained relatively stable between 0.3% and 0.36% from April through July 2026.
