I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.
250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.
A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.
An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.
The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.
A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.
A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.
Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.
$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.
And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.
And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?
Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.
For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?
Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?
They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.
What the Trump Admin is telling you.
-Don't record ICE
-Don't carry a gun around ICE
-Don't ask ICE for a warrant.
So that takes out the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments.
It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.
Well we can’t grow our way out of it any more. We need to reduce interest rates. That reduces how much we pay in interest.
IMO, best way would have been to implement DOGE cuts in an organized manner over 24 months. That would slow the economy, pushing down rates and probably giving cover for the fed to further reduce rates.
More importantly it would give those fired, those who lost their funding and the communities they live in, a chance to prepare and adapt to the changes.
Doing them all at once is destructive, particularly to smaller cities and states who depend on fed dollars
The concept of DOGE is right on. We need to cut spending. The implementation has been horrific.
In fact had it been staggered they may have been able to cut even more. Constructively
Once tariffs went up so much, when combined with the simultaneous DOGE Cuts, it was inevitable that we would see carnage.
And to make matters worse , because tariffs are inflationary , that makes it hard for the fed to cut rates. So whatever gains we may have gotten from DOGE were taken in lost net worth , tax receipts and consumer buying power

THE #CHIEFS ARE HEADING BACK TO THE SUPER BOWL AFTER ONE OF THE WORST OFFICIATED GAMES IN #NFL HISTORY.
THE #BILLS GOT SCREWED BY THE REFS, 10 OF THE WORST CALLS EVER…
1) THE REFS SOMEHOW RULED THIS A CATCH FOR KC…
WILD😳😳😳
Kelce comes in to talk sh*t then immediately tries to flop and draws an unnecessary roughness penalty.
Honestly the Chiefs are the most unlikeable team in NFL history.
