I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!

This is who is visiting the White House today. If you replace Netanyahu - you get more of these.

Israel is a sick culture. They’re not like us.

It is a worry that when you rid yourself of one, another just pops up.

Ah, RFK Jr. don't look now but the ones I see sure don't seem to have less. Perhaps, some of YOU 68 yr. olds should wander off to lunch or something and not come back.

This is the U.S. today. Are there words possible for this. Trade secrets — REALLY.

Would be nice if Musk goes, but he was given a lot of power. He has though dismantled everything he said he would and much will take years to repair if it all can be.

BREAKING: Donald Trump throws a screeching tantrum and lashes out at Rupert Murdoch after Fox News publishes a poll showing his rapidly cratering approval rating: "It sucks!"

Maybe Trump shouldn't have set the global economy on fire for no reason...

"Rupert Murdoch has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so," he wrote on Truth Social.

"This 'pollster' has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years. Also, and while he’s at it, he should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!" he added.

The Fox poll in question shows that after less than 100 days in office, Trump's popularity continues to nosedive, down from 49% in March to 44% now.

Worst of all for the egomaniacal MAGA leader, Trump's approval rating is lower than the 54% that Joe Biden had at the 100-day mark. Barack Obama had 62% and George W. Bush had 63%.

Not only that, but Trump is one point lower than the 45% approval rating he had at this point in his first term.

Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal — which, like Fox News, is owned by Murdoch — recently published a piece calling Trump's tariffs the "biggest economic policy mistake in decades."

The American people have turned on this so-called president in record time, an unsurprising development given how utterly disastrous this second term has proven.

Trump has skyrocketed the cost of living and demolished small businesses with his tariffs while deporting innocent people to a brutal prison in El Salvador. He is an unprecedented mixture of weaponized incompetence and profound cruelty.

As time goes on and the damage accumulates, his popularity is only going to plummet further.

BREAKING: Billionaire MAGA megadonor Ken Griffin incinerates Donald Trump over his disastrous tariffs and says that America has "has become 20 percent poorer in four weeks."

Even hardcore Republicans supporters are running for the hills now...

"The United States was more than just a nation. It’s a brand. It’s a universal brand, whether it’s our culture, our financial strength, our military strength …. America rose beyond just being a country," Griffin said at the Semafor World Economy Summit. "It was like an aspiration for most the world. And we’re eroding that brand right now."

Griffin, the founder and CEO of the hedge fund Citadel, said that it can take "a lifetime to repair the damage that has been done" to our nation's reputation.

"If you think of your behavior as a consumer, how many times do you buy a product with a brand on it because you trust that brand?" he said. "In the financial markets, no brand compares to the brand of the US Treasuries — the strength of the US dollar and the strength and creditworthiness of US Treasuries. No brand came close. We put that brand at risk."

Griffin compared America to a luxury brand dressmaker who destroys their company by sinking into scandal.

"You know, you can buy like a similar dress with no name for less money, but you want the dress that you think is going to not fall apart in two weeks,” Griffin said. "It can take a very long time — a very long time — to remove the tarnish on a brand."

He went on to say that the deflation of the U.S. dollar coupled with chaotic and unpredictable economic policy and Trump's attacks on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is a recipe for disaster.

Griffin then directly criticized Trump's destructive tariffs, saying that they will not lead to any kind of victories but will force those involved to "tread water and not drown."

He also destroyed the absurd claim that the tariffs will somehow magically bring manufacturing back to the United States despite the Trump administration failing to incentivize such reshoring with robust subsides.

"I’ll tell you what’s not going to happen is, people are not going to raise [money] to build manufacturing in America because with the policy volatility, you actually undermine the very goal you’re trying to achieve," said Griffin.

He went on to point out the damage being inflicted on our relationships with our closest allies—

"How does Canada feel about our country today versus two months ago? How does Europe feel about the United States today versus two months ago?" Griffin asked.

"And some people scream, ‘Well, it just doesn’t matter.’ But you know what? It matters for a very profound reason. The entire Western world is engulfed in a debt crisis," he added.

This is what happens when you elect an incompetent egomaniac with no understanding of geopolitics or the complex economic systems that hold the world together. Donald Trump operates on instinct and his instincts are always wrong.

So far it seems to me this is just about all that is taking place — executive orders. He is too busy with his vengeance for anything else.

BREAKING: Senator Dick Durbin delivers a powerful warning to Republicans to hop off the sinking ship or share Donald Trump's "fate" as his presidency implodes amidst crashing poll numbers.

The MAGA train is careening towards the end of the rail...

"This is a different moment in history than I've read about or seen in my lifetime for sure. This is a moment where there's a threat to the Constitution of the United States and our constitutional democracy," Durbin said on MSNBC.

Donald Trump has repeatedly undermined our Constitution with the most recent example being his refusal to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States despite a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling that he must.

"That is a fundamental and it's in front of every decision of policy that we might make," Durbin continued. "We have to get it together."

"I will plead with my Republican friends: Stand up for the Constitution," he went on. "You took an oath and swore you'd defend this Constitution. It needs defense now more than ever with the actions by President Trump."

"In a hundred days of this administration the question is not whether or not Trump is sinking in the polling — and he appears to be — but whether his fate is going to be shared by other Republicans and whether they have the courage to join Democrats and do the right things and stand up for the Constitution," said Durbin.

"That to me I think just supersedes all conversations about campaigns and even issues," he concluded.

Durbin is right that Trump's polling is sinking. Just this morning he threw a Truth Social tantrum over a new poll from Fox News that shows his approval rating has dropped to 44% from 49% in March.

Not only that, but his numbers after less than 100 days are lower than the 45% he had during his first term. Joe Biden was at 54% at this point, Barack Obama at 62%, and George W. Bush at 63%.

The question is not whether the American people are turning on Trump, that much is undeniable. The question is whether or not any of the Republicans who have enabled him will see the writing on the wall and abandon him in time to save their own careers.

Israel is not a sick culture. There are Israeli’s who support their current government. There are also huge protests against it. Just like the US, Israel is not a monolith.

Just a reminder. I put in memes I find — I may or may not agree with every word said in them, which is I presume how everyone looks at them. It is nice to know that Israel and the U.S. are well. I do enjoy hearing how others see these things.

In heavy agreement. The Israeli security minister really got to me as well. People who are okay with killing other people are never going to be okay in my book. I don't even like the death penalty. That's legal killing but just because you can say that, are you any better for having chosen/planned to do it. You do the same thing — you just don't have to get penalized for it.

I would like to think that humanity can and will find better ways to deal with mal-adjusted people as well as mal-adjusted leaders. None of what has gone on the last few yrs. (especially with a lot of the leadership — including very much the current ones) have done much to bring any people together. They have been about evil and division. I hope to be able to move away from those things and get back to being able to agree to disagree when we don't like something but otherwise be adult enough to search for answers that will address issues in a reasonable, responsible way helping to make things better for all not just some select few.

The wise person in the storm prays God, not for safety from danger, but for deliverance from fear. It is the storm within which endangers us, not the storm without.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Can you really lie enough to get out of this. I think many of the people who thought you might make things better for them are having EXTREME second thoughts and even third ones now. LIES are not going to do it for you. China does not have to play your game.
