The older I get, the more I believe happiness lives in the ordinary. Pets. Plants. A quiet morning coffee. Blue sky. Cotton clouds. Birds singing. The gentle breeze through the trees. A clean, cosy house. Good food. Good hearted simple poeple. So much of life’s beauty is quiet, gentle, and already here. And somehow, one of the sweetest feelings is knowing I get to wake up and meet it all again tomorrow.
We have a year’s worth of economic data since Liberation Day, when President Trump announced much higher tariffs on most imported goods and countries, and the data are definitive; the tariffs have done significant damage to the economy. Since that day, job growth has come to a standstill, with only the non-traded healthcare industry adding meaningfully to payrolls. Also, since that day, inflation has accelerated, with the consumer expenditure deflator increasing at a 3% year-over-year pace, up from 2.5% before the tariffs and well above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%. And the trend lines don’t look good, especially as the economic fallout from the Iran War hits with full force. The higher energy and other commodity prices caused by the war threaten to do even more economic damage than the tariffs, further undermining growth and pushing inflation higher. The U.S. economy is resilient, but just how resilient is set to be tested.
He’s everything you taught your children not to be. You’d never work with him. You’d never work for him. You’d never do business with him. You’d never want to be friends with him. You’d never trust your wife or your daughter with him. Yet, this country put him in power. Twice.

Hey young men in America - you wanna live good, decent lives with meaning & purpose? Then be the exact opposite of Donald Trump. Don’t be like Trump. He’s the absolute shittiest and most horrible role model. Wake up young men. My midweek meltdown.👇 https://t.co/j39BEX87nU
Trump is the absolute worst of us.
You’d never work for him.
You’d never do business with him.
You’d never be friends with him.
You’d never trust your wife with him.
You’d never trust your 14yr old daughter with him.
Yet you voted for him. That says more about you than him.
