Unless the left stops fighting mass deportations, we cannot deport our way out of this situation. Although, deportations and a closed border does help make the overall situation better. We just need a focus on climbing "real wages". This could be made very tricky as AI eliminates the need for certain jobs. It will take time to measure this administration getting the manufacturing jobs growth from tariff and outside countries investment here from negotiated trade deals. So, the loud anti-Trump crowd will pretend it is not a real piece to this solve.
Minus a massive economic downturn(which everyone, but the anti-trumpers does not want), you cannot bring prices down much or even at all. JMO

Hey Icky - Nvidia with blockbuster earnings after the close. My weekly reminder that I bought it in February 2020 when you were desperate for Trump to get you a vax at $6.53 a share.

Blackwell sales are "off the charts". Current after market price $194.50

I hope you bought when I told you.

And did you in the above say Democrats are guilty? That is progress. As for Trump, zero evidence. In fact, all evidence shows he is completely innocent. Did he have some creepy friends/acquaintances? Absolutely - the life of playing politics in a Democrat city to get building permits.
Just remember ONE thing from my decades as a Series 7 & 24 working in the Stock Market ! I BEG you !

"You never go broke taking some profits !"

Yes, the democrats are definitely guilty. I never said they weren’t.

Knowing about pedophiles and human trafficking and doing nothing about it is just as disgusting in my opinion. Trump was protecting his buddies until it wasn’t possible anymore. “Democrat hoax”
Your constant AND continuing TDS is STILL coloring your "thinking".

Trump has and had protected no person. He has forced the guilty to expose themselves !

Art of The Deal worked perfectly, there was no deal, only full disclosure of the Guilty.

We have 4 boys in the workforce.
The oldest is 31 and making 200k+
Our 27 year old makes 90k+
Our 25 yo makes 90k+
our 22 yo makes 65k+

I think we raised good hard working kids, but the money is there if you want to make a good living early.
Direct your Sons/Daughters AND Grandchildren with Positive discussions and true Life experiences for them to emulate !

One Granddaughter wanted to do something with the Oceans ? A mention that she had never been on ANY Ocean and never experienced seasickness, turned her towards Medicine and getting a free NP Degree !

Cutting the price per gallon of gas at the pump is the GREATEST method of lowering the cost of goods !

Yes and no. When a barrel of oil goes below 60, shale oil companies start hemorrhaging money. Supply then slows because shale oil drilling is a pain and expensive.

If you could magically deport 20 million people that are consuming supply, prices become lower or more competitive. I believe that Biden's open border created tons of demand while printing US dollars to give away on his spending spree(inflation reduction act). Slow as much of the dumb spending while deporting as many as you can get your hands on. I see this as the greatest fix.

The crazy Dems rooting against Trump/ USA are trying to slow or stop this.

President Trump is closing onto 3,000,000 deports and he has 2 months to go to hit ONE year of bye byes !

Refilling the SPR is taking hundred's of million of barrels, which affects supply/pricing !

Jeff was ready to vote for more of this and then complained about the ballooning debt!


The reality is these people are incompatible with our country and as that mayoral candidate clearly suggested, he is loyal to Somalia, not the US. These are generally poorly educated people who marry first cousins, support terrorism and also have a large number of their population who are pirates. And we are shocked they are major fraudsters here? Get the hook and get them out of here.
