Fixed it for Trump.
Trump's post announcing a diesel deal with Russia. I've covered up false claims he made with grey boxes, and in yellow text written what is true, including that "receiving bribes from Vladimir Putin" is his greatest priority.

“The Post reported last month that the numbers of service members lost was greater than what the Pentagon was reporting…Hegseth called that reporting ‘a complete lie.’ However, late Friday, the Pentagon raised the figure to include additional deaths.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

A large pill that has “386” on it, could possibility be atomoxetine 80 mg (Strattera), a non-stimulant medication used for ADHD. The capsule is white with an orange cap and is imprinted “386” on the cap and “80” on the body.

Why healthy people should be vaccinated to protect those who can't. RFK Jr. either doesn't understand or doesn't care. Either way unfit for any public trust. Good think Sen. Bill Cassidy received "assurances" about vaccines. Unfortunately he should have already understood the psychopathy.

Many feel this way but just a reminder for us all that the most power Dems will have next year even controlling both the House and Senate are oversight, budgetary, and confirmation. Yes they can pass new laws or impeach but both require substantial Republican buy-in to actually become reality.

Not sure that “this pregnant woman was handcuffed in front of her toddler for failure to appear in court which stemmed from efforts to collect a debt, and not from the debt itself” is such a great defense but if you have no other ideas, why not?
Marshall's lawyers took issue with three facets of the ad. They said Zimmerman wasn't arrested for a missed payment but, instead, for failing to appear in court. They said the campaign ad frames the premise of the arrest on a $50 bill rather than the sum of Zimmerman's debts. They said the arrest wasn't a surprise, arguing that court records show Zimmerman "was called to court in three different counties by eight different businesses over a multi-year period, including by a different hospital and in an eviction proceeding."

The "refinery that produces diesel also produces gasoline and jet fuel-if you can’t export the diesel...you run out of places to store it and you have to reduce US refining" raising gasoline & jet-fuel prices As one trader puts it,“today the scarcest commodity is not crude it is refining capacity”

Force Majeure is generally used as a kind of “act of god” measure for energy companies when wars or weather makes it impossible to deliver service. In this case Oracle is using it as a means of saying it shouldn’t pay in the event the data center isn’t ready. It is completely unprecedented.
Oracle Corp. is moving to shield itself from racking up expenses on a massive data center being built in New Mexico, adding a fresh wrinkle to a project beset by opposition and regulatory setbacks.
The technology giant sent the project's developer, a unit of Blue Owl Capital Inc., a notice citing force majeure, according to people familiar with the situation. Rather than trying to walk away as the site's main tenant, Oracle is attempting to put off payments should the data center dubbed Project Jupiter get derailed and fail to come online in 2028 as planned, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private matters.Even if the force majeure notice is intended as a precautionary step to win some wiggle room, it risks alarming lenders backing the project.
The debt tied to the development is already trading at stressed levels, below 90 cents on the dollar, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
A group of about 20 banks provided an $18 billion loan to help fund the construction of the data center campus, one of several mega-debt deals that have helped bankroll the AI infrastructure boom.
The notice also stands to raise questions yet again about the resilience of data center leases.
Contracts often include a clause allowing customers to back out if service doesn't begin as scheduled. Earlier this year, Alphabet Inc's Google agreed to pay Elon Musk's SpaceX for computing power through mid-2029, for example, but reserved the right to terminate if it didn't gain access by a certain date.

Perhaps a bit of sarcasm here ... but perhaps not. In any case definitely should be considered as a strategic vulnerability especially since the presidential pardons don't work for state laws.

He's not skipping because of moderator bias. He's skipping because he's afraid voters will see how weak he is- and just like Trump will just claim victory as he argues "the system" is cheating him of his rightful coronation as a white male in America. TLDR Mike Rogers: vote for me not the brown guy.
