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.

Trump invites Bill Gates to the WH, and working with him on gene editing/vaccines. What could go wrong?

He went from Elon advising him to Gates.
Maybe you can give him a call ?

Tesla board askes shareholders to adjust his employment contract to make him the World's First Trillionaire !

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 !

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.

Trump administration scraps Biden-era plan for airline cash compensation | AP News https://apnews.com/article/flight-delays-cancellations-compensation-52d65b39d2cf063c43885e71bf88317c

Trump friend of the airlines not the consumer.
From what I can find on this, it looks like Biden/ Harris/ Buditege talked about it. I cannot find where they put these penalties into play.
Can you show where they installed these penalties?

I am guessing this being all talk and kicking it to Trump admin and for good reason. Can you imagine charging an airline penalties of $700 or more per passenger for being cautious on maintenance concerns? Safety would quickly fall down the line of priorities to these airlines.

I would guess the reason to scrap this dumb idea is passenger safety. Good catch Jeff!

Outside of the deranged, does anyone believe these way too early numbers? Newsom name recognition. Also California poopy sidewalks, debt, etc.

Unforgettable scene. 1992 I think. A couple of morons tried to ruin the moment for his son and the dad would have none of it. Of course he was disqualified. Was he going to win the race? Obviously not.

Great to see. And yes, non citizens get Medicaid benefits in Colorado. Something people on the left still deny to this day.

A good read, but warning to Stone you won't like it. There is more, but I cut it short:


Hey, Bill O'Reilly here. Welcome to the No Spin News, Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025. Stand up for your country. So, September is going to be a very difficult month for President Trump. He's got to deal with Putin, that's number one. And Putin's kind of mocking President Trump right now by sending drones, hundreds of them, to kill innocent people in Ukraine. So remember, Putin doesn't target military, he targets civilians. And then President Trump is going to have to deal with Xi in China, big, massive trade deal on the table. He's going to sort all that. Then we come back home, and the Supreme Court is going to have to rule on National Guard to the cities, tariffs, block this, block that. So President Trump is really, I don't know, I'm looking at his September schedule, and it's crazy. You should know that we are on all of this. We are ahead of it. And that is why you watch and listen to me. So, we will have the latest, we'll have it first. Talking Points Memo this evening is on failure, political failure.

So I'm a simple man, you know that. And I don't know why people vote for politicians who screw up, who destroy their environments, cities, who raise their taxes, who hurt them, who won't prosecute criminals. I don't understand it, but I really do. I don't understand it emotionally, but intellectually, I do understand it, and I will explain it now. But first, some examples. State of California, largest in the nation, beautiful place from top to bottom, in my opinion, I've been to every county. All right, since Gavin Newsom, the governor, has been in office six years, it has gone from a budget surplus to $32 billion in debt. That is just an abysmal record. And what did the state get for the 32 billion in that? All of that massive spending. You tell me, because I don't know. But 1.2 million people agree with me because they've left California under Newsom. 1.2 million people. Bye. And it's hard. It's hard to leave. I was discussing that today with Hannity on his radio program, we posted that on BillOReilly.com. Hannity split from New York. He said, Oh, you should come down here to Florida. Well, I run three corporations and I've got family obligations and everything else up here in New York, I can't just say, hey, see you later, I don't like the politics and I don't. But I'm going to fight it out here for a while, not forever, for a while. But in California, 1.2 million? And now this guy wants to be president? So, where are we going to move, Ireland, the Bahamas? San Francisco spent $25 billion on homeless drug addicts. $25 billion on these ne'er-do-wells, miscreants, running around the streets, ruining the city. Has anything improved after the $25 billion spent? No! Failure. Gross failure.

Then we have Chicago. The past 10 years, almost 7,000 people have been murdered in Chicago. And it's the third largest city. And the carnage continues. Look at the Labor Day stats we reported on yesterday. Yet no accountability. They elect loon after loon, after loon. Lori Lightfoot, we thought she was the worst. Johnson, Brandon Johnson, mayor of Chicago, is worse. No, we don't put anybody in jail. It's racist to put anybody in jail. Yeah, no, no. Let the gang bangers just mow down anybody they want. You don't think these black neighborhoods are terrorized by these drug gangs? They are. But the people keep voting for people like Brandon Johnson. Okay, one more. New York. So more than two million people have left the city and state of New York since 2015, 10 years. And that'll be more because we haven't added in 2025 yet. More than two million people saying, I'm outta here, Hannity's one of them, okay? And the reasons are highest taxes, social disorder, general chaos, terrible schools in the poor neighborhoods. In the wealthy neighborhoods, the schools are okay. But we are spending more than $35,000 per pupil in New York public schools. 35,000 a year on one kid. Catholic schools maybe spend 13, 14,000, and you'll get a better education in Catholic school, and they'll take you even if you're Muslim, now. So, failure, failure, failure, failure. Democratic Party props all this up. You don't hear Democrats criticizing any of these cities at all for anything. And that's why Democratic Party is in so much trouble. Okay. And finally, New York City is facing a communist mayor, as you know, Zohran Mamdani. I said to Hannity today, this could be the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah. That's what this could be. That there's a theological reason that an extremist who will destroy New York City, he will. You think we've got bad people now? This guy is off the chart. Maybe that has to happen. Maybe you have to blow it all up before people say, I'm not voting for failure any longer.

Okay, summing up. Progressive leadership doesn't work anywhere in the world, never has, never will. I've been to Cuba, I recently returned from China, as you know, been to Russia, been to communist Eastern Europe when it was still controlled by the Soviet Union. I have seen it up close. Doesn't work, progressive leadership. That is the memo.

Interesting that Trump is only sending/planning to send National Guard troops into blue states. St. Louis and New Orleans have much higher murder rates than Chicago but Trump apparently is not concerned about the those cities since they are in red states. The whole sending troops to cities is a political stunt to try to embarrass Democratic politicians. Only MAGA is fooled.
