Read! My comment was in reply to the list of the contributions received by the Democrats from the pharmaceutical industry. Also since you bit on Vance's nonsense, read the Wall Street Journal Editorial on what a stupid comment by Vance.

This is the tweet by Vance:

When I see all these senators trying to lecture and "gotcha" Bobby Kennedy today all I can think is: You all support off-label, untested, and irreversible hormonal "therapies" for children, mutilating our kids and enriching big pharma. You're full of **** and everyone knows it.

The democrats were hammering RFK Jr. I wonder why? Do you support the movement by the left to encourage more kids into the trans arena? I mean, it seems sick to me to manipulate kids into a life altering decision, but I am open to a better explanation from you, if you have one.

Where are all the posts about the greatness of the Trump economy (growing at roughly 1.5% for the first half of 2025)?

We added less than 100K jobs for the entire summer ... yikes.

Put your money where your mouth is and sell it all in the market!

Now you are seeing a bit of the impact of "Too Slow". As "Too Slow" stands by idly with a fraudster at the Fed, his grip weakens.

As a seasoned investor and mindful of Trump's many great actions, I'm hardly dissuaded by a single jobs report. 450 more Americans will now have work in place of illegals in Georgia thanks to President Trump.

You go ahead and sell, I'm bullish on America and the Trump administration. Fortunately, your girl Kamala is stealing police resources from the state of California and nowhere near a position of power.

While I understand your view, they are also doing right for their companies and shareholders. After all, Trump is doing many, many things that promote America, their companies, and their share prices. In turn, their companies create massive wealth for countless Americans.

Trump is doing many things
  1. Massive energy increases
  2. Protection against European tyranny via fake investigations designed to confiscate tens of billions
  3. Investment in AI
  4. Investment in America
  5. Garnering massive international investment in these companies
  6. Reducing regulation and facilitating trade deals
For once, we agree that most of these guys are fakes.

Your list merely repeats Trump's fact less assertions of what he has accomplished. Find proof that is true.

Diversion or deflection by Vance. Kennedy's embarrassing hearing had to do with his anti-vax beliefs and how he has brought those to the HHS Dept. Nothing to do with trans or any other culture wars.

Why would I call Elon?

Or are you talking about Trump? I don’t think he would listen to a middle class American. Seems like he listens to the Musks and Gates of the world. Going to be funny watching conservatives become big fans of Gates.

I bought AFRM calls at about 3:30 PM YESTERDAY, @ $ 2.90 per contract.
I sold them ALL before 10:30 AM TODAY, @ $ 4.90 per contract.

Rather than sit back and wait to see what will happen !

"Got to be in it, to Win it !"

TIRED OF WINNING?

Voters without college degrees backed Trump over then-Vice President Kamala Harris by 14 points, according to exit polling. Yet August's jobs report showed that industries whose workers often do not possess college degrees have lost jobs, in part thanks to Trump's nonsensical trade policy.
The jobs report showed that the mining industry—which Trump has touted he is saving—lost 6,000 jobs in August.
Meanwhile, the construction industry—hit hard by tariffs and the rising price of materials—lost 7,000 jobs. And truck transportation lost 900 jobs.
However, aside from the government—which took a massive hit thanks to now-former co-President Elon Musk’s destructive Department of Government Efficiency cuts—no industry has done worse than manufacturing.
In his inaugural address, Trump promised to restore the American manufacturing sector, declaring that, “America will be a manufacturing nation once again.”
Yet manufacturing lost a whopping 12,000 jobs in August. Altogether, the manufacturing industry has lost 78,000 jobs in 2025, a massive contraction.
Ultimately, the only industry doing okay right now is health care which accounts for virtually all of the job growth over the last four months. But that's about to take a hit, too, as the GOP's "One Big, Beautiful Bill" cuts billions from Medicaid that will cause millions to lose their coverage and leave rural hospitals and long-term health care facilities in trouble.

A few things here.

1. There are 13m workers in the manufacturing sector. The job losses this year are relatively small, not “whopping” or “massive”. Impactful but not terrible.

2. Restoring manufacturing jobs to the U.S. is a very long process. Reshoring initiatives will take a decade or more to have a major impact. It will also take years to know what the long term impact of increased tariffs will be. The short term impact has been negative, obviously.

3. The biggest factors in the decline are technological advances and a skills gap. There is a huge demand for high skilled workers and not enough qualified people to fill those jobs. No one knows for sure the impact of AI.

4. Most analysts are fairly but cautiously optimistic on the long term outlook for the sector. The doom and gloom is mostly political.

5. The manufacturing sector has been trending down for some time now. Really since around 1979, but most recently picking up again in 2023. Current government policies don’t have much to do with that. For context, 22% of non farm U.S. jobs were in manufacturing in 1979, it’s peak. It is around 8% now.

Another "Maryland man !"

Illegal immigrant in Prince George's County, MD had been ARRESTED for the murder of a Maryland woman !

He was supposed to be on an ICE Detainer when he was arrested for DWI, but released !

Woman was discovered in a wooded area after she was declared missing.

He was filmed getting the woman into a car, then at the place where he lived.

Search warrant issued, evidence obtained of her murder in that room.
