    Reveals the low education voter who supports Trump.  Yes, Hillary was right  - deplorable.  How an intelligent person can still support trump is beyond imagination.  It is willful ignorance, it is selling one's soul for political expediency, it is now a seditious act of enablement as proven by the J6C. 

    Agree!  Trump is a snake oil salesman, a genuine con artist.   He, and his mafioso thugs,  belongs in jail.  I hope it is coming.

    Rudy is a pathetic human being.   He went from star district attorney to a mayor everyone loved, to pathetic Trump puppet.   Eventually his true colors have shown.  Just sad and I sort of feel bad for the guy. 

    Yes, I do not understand why anyone, let alone Rudy, would want to get tangled up with the Tump mafioso family.   

  3. Gas prices will continue to drop as summer comes to an end.  Refineries will have their annual "shut down for maintenance" excuse done and oil companies will begin to drill using the 9,000 requested permits issued by the government.  The public will once again see how they have been gouged by the gas industry.

  4. I said before the last presidential election that whoever succeeds Trump would never untangle the damage done by the Trump mafioso family.  It will take decades to re-establish the structure of the Constitutional Government of a free democracy.

    Hopefully we live through it.  It's not over.  If he'd have won or somehow wins again or a clone like Desantis wins they'll form an axis with Russia and, well, check the photos of the destruction of Ukraine.

    Trump would want to build a golf course and Trump tower among the rubble.

  6. Corporate profits are up 37%  in a time of inflation?   CEO pay increases 16%?  Greed drives inflation.  When money is infused into a growing booming economy, the thieves come out of the woodwork.  By the way, we do not have a shortage of oil.  We have a hoarded supply by the oil companies.  

     

    • A record July net profit margin reading from the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) survey shows that a majority of companies are successfully passing on increased costs to customers.
    • While widespread, the profitability gains are not accruing equally across the market or sectors.
    • Concerns remain that the transitory inflation forecast by the Federal Reserve could turn against the central bank and the economy if it lasts too long, with a particular impact on smaller companies.

    Ways to curb inflation:  (no one wants any of these)

     

    1.  Price controls

    2.  Curb or cut wages

    3.  Raise interest rates.

     

    Other factors that drive prices higher are tariffs, government subsidies, and tax breaks for corporations who buy back shares and pad their own pockets. 

     

    A tariff is a tax on he consumer.  

     

    Inflation will subside when consumers decide not to spend discretionary money (luxury goods, cars, appliances, vacations, etc.)   In the second year of a pandemic that began by wiping out 20 million jobs, American workers are doing surprisingly well. It’s just that American business is doing even better, a consequence of greed.

  7. Can't blame the refs when you let the opposing team run back the opening kick off for a TD.  Or, you can't blame the refs for all the missed tackles and blocks.  Bottom line, once again, "If you cannot block and cannot tackle, you cannot win."--------------  (My 1958 high school football coach.)  And, he is correct.
