Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk are the super wealthy.
The super wealthy can literally buy a mass of disruption.
As the U.S. celebrates its 250th anniversary, pop singer Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelcee held their wedding at Madison Square Garden. The security was tight.
The paparazzi will be banned. All photos and videos from attendees is banned from MSG.
Once you enter, you sign a non disclosure agreement which bars guest from detailing what how the event went down.
The wedding of the Swift and the American football player Kelce took place on July 3, 2026, at Madison Square Garden (MSG) in New York City. Involving two influential figures of the entertainment industry, Swift and Kelce's nuptials have generated extensive press and social media coverage, even though the couple themselves have not publicized any details.
The two married Friday night at Madison Square Garden, where actor Adam Sandler was the surprising officiant at a star-packed ceremony. The secrecy that surrounded the buildup to the nuptials lifted when a marquee outside the Midtown Manhattan arena proclaimed “JUST&T MARRIED” once the deed was done.
The couple did not have bridesmaids or groomsmen, instead opting for Swift’s brother Austin Swift to serve as her man of honor and Kelce’s brother and podcast co-host Jason Kelce serving as his best man, Swift’s publicist Tree Paine said in an email.
The bride and groom’s outfits came from Christian Dior Haute Couture and its designer Jonathan Anderson with shoes custom-made by Christian Louboutin. She wore Cartier jewelry.
An almost-royal wedding
The long anticipated union of sports and song brought hype to new heights at a venue made more for historic NBA games and bucket-list concerts. The Kansas City Chiefs’ superstar tight end and the music megastar married as fans and spectators gathered outside in blistering heat, eager to be part of the occasion, even though the event was almost entirely hidden.
Singer Camila Cabello, actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke and Jason Sudeikis, and model Karlie Kloss were among the guests. Running back Kareem Hunt was among Kelce’s Chiefs teammates in attendance. Seattle Seahawks receiver and recent Super Bowl champ Cooper Kupp, New York Giants receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, NFL announcer Joe Buck and Jenny Han, author of the “The Summer I Turned Pretty” series were also seen entering the arena.
In a culture obsessed with famous couplings it may be the apex celebrity wedding, with perhaps only royal unions getting more attention. Holding such a ceremony in a huge, iconic space that sits at the center of the U.S. media universe while keeping all the details secret made for a surreal scene, but it was a mix of hype and hush that is not out of character for Swift.
A shrouded ceremony headed by Happy Gilmore
An Associated Press camera outside the arena showed a long line of black SUVs dropping off wedding-goers in tuxedos and evening gowns, surrounded by New Yorkers in shorts and Swifties amassing for the occasion.
Celebrities, athletes and friends were posting on social media about getting ready or about to leave for a black-tie event, including Brandon Borders, producer of the New Heights podcast starring Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce; Beau Allen, retired defensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles; and Jessica Chastain.
There was a notable lack of social media posts from guests once they had entered the arena, after reports that phones would not be allowed. Rain began falling soon after the marriage was announced.
Weddings have been a constant subject in Swift’s songs since she was a teenager, and her actually walking the aisle for the first time at age 36 adds to the drama. It would also be a first marriage for the 36-year-old three-time Super Bowl champ Kelce, who could have been one of the jock characters in Swift’s early hits.
Sandler, star of “The Wedding Singer” and many other hit comedies, can’t have been high on anyone’s betting list for who would marry the couple, though he’s become an increasingly warm and paternal cultural figure with age. The email announcing the marriage described him as “a friend” of the couple. Kelce was one of the many athletes who appeared in “Happy Gilmore 2,” Sandler’s 2025 sequel to one of his earlier hits.
Welcome to New York — hot and hectic edition
The relationship of the pop star and the football player has thrilled and fascinated millions around the world — particularly the Swifties, the pop star’s enormous and ardent fan base — ever since the pair first started dating in 2023.
Outside the arena, some frazzled tourists mixed with happy fans.
Lori Powers, who lives an hour north of Manhattan and rode the train in to be near the nuptials, said Swift’s “music is the soundtrack behind so many amazing moments in my life. Relationships, friends, like my husband and my kids.”
She stood outside the arena before the marriage was announced with her friend Cecily Hall.
“Just being here and witnessing all the energy and the excitement, it’s so much fun,” Hall said. “The combination of sports and music makes perfect sense as to why they’re at Madison Square Garden today.”
Questions remain about who may perform and what it looked like inside the affair that could go well into the night.
Former vice president Kamala Harris and New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani had a private conversation. As the former vice president does a reset and potential 2028 run, the speculation is that she is slowly changing her position on Israel amid the major primary wins of many democratic socialists.
The call reportedly happened last Thursday, just two days after Mamdani-backed candidates flipped three New York congressional seats. Harris wanted to talk about where the Democratic Party is heading and set up a longer discussion later, a source told Axios. The two allegedly have swapped occasional texts for months now.
Zohran Mamdani confirmed the contact with Kamala Harris publicly. Speaking on SiriusXM's The Clay Kane Show, he said, "The vice president reached out to have a conversation. We've had a brief conversation. We've been in touch over the last few months, and I really do appreciate her outreach."
Harris has been methodically working her way through key progressive circles for over a year. She met Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in Chicago this April during a Black women's empowerment conference. Her team has also courted leaders from the Uncommitted Movement, the protest effort born from anger over Biden administration policy on Gaza.
Last week, Harris reportedly sat with Abbas Alawieh, an Uncommitted co-founder now pursuing a Michigan state Senate seat. The former vice president has also reportedly spoken with James Zogby, a veteran Democratic National Committee member who champions Palestinian rights.
This comes as Harris sits atop most early 2028 primary polls for White House. She draws rock-star receptions across the South, a region that can decide any Democratic nomination fight. Yet doubts swirl from multiple areas, including left-wing activists, centrist donors, and party insiders who question her general election viability after 2024.
Neither Harris' office nor Mamdani has officially confirmed what the discussions have been about.
Israel is extremely toxic to the Democratic and Republican Party right now.
As the costs are rising, President Donald J. Trump continues to downplay the seriousness by doubting down and making ridiculous claims about the candidates.
You got to bring an agenda that works for the people who voted for you.
While many of the wins were centered on the affordability crisis, the shift in foreign policy is constantly being brought up.
Abdul El-Sayed went on Kasie Hunt's The Arena on CNN and it was testy. She constantly dogging him on whether "Israel has a right to exist." El-Sayed flipped the script by saying that no one asks people whether Palestine should exist and said that he is focused on Michigan issues. He said that the billions that are spent for wars could be invested in the state.
Iran has paused talks and warned the U.S. and Israel to not start aggression as the country lays to rest the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran also was tipped by Pakistani intelligence that Israel was plotting a sabotage campaign and assassination attempt.
We got a lot a work to do.
The Republican Party is becoming a bunch of big government nannies who want to push culture wars into federal laws. This overreach will generate backlash due to the hypocrisy they've carried as small government and freedom loving patriots.
First things first, the Democrats must focus on issues that matter to all Americans. The economy for one thing is a big issue. We are witnessing the potential for a catastrophic crash thanks to Trump's tariffs, his fly off the handle policies, the Iran war and the government shutdowns.
If the Democrats are motivated to talk about how the policies of the past are not working, they better start talking now.
Capitalism isn't prospering for the middle class or the lower class. This trickle down economics is not benefiting the working class. The need to be honest about capitalism being a disaster has to be addressed.
The Democratic Party is still supportive of capitalism which is rooted in white supremacy, economic inequality and greed.
The policies the Republican Party are presenting are status quo. They are becoming the big government nannies they tagged the Democratic Party for years as.
Socialism, once a toxic word and a tag on almost every Democratic politician should no longer be a slur. It is time for Americans to understand that the oligarchy that led to wealth inequality is a product of capitalism. We need to equate capitalism to the rise in food prices, health costs, insurance premiums increasing and private equity firms destroying companies.
Israel, Israel, Israel..... When the party support for Israel is a mere 8%, why is the Democratic Party still trying to encourage their voters to support this country?
They're on their knees giving in to Israel and its minions.
As Israel continues to commit a genocide under the guise of a ceasefire, some Democrats and the influncers are calling out the progressive base for moving on from Gaza.
I haven't moved on from Israel. I am laser focused on ensuring Israel will fall. I am seeing the endless attacks on Zohran Mamdani, Graham Platner, Abdul El-Sayed, Cori Bush, Melat Kiros, Darializa Avila Chevalier and even former vice president Kamala Harris for criticizing Israel.
I get it Harris should face criticism for ignoring the concerns.
I voted for Harris for president. I have told family members that Israel will be a major factor. Trump's near assassination was a big factor. His mugshot too. He tapped into the grievances of the American people.
Democrats wasted too much time scaring voters. I get it. Trump is an essential threat to the country. I posted on this blog numerous times about it. But I also said that Biden's support for Israel and not focusing on the economy could hurt him come 2024.
White men cannot get the U.S. back on the right track. We seen how Trump and Biden led us into endless chaos within their terms. Trump has become the first 21st Century president to never achieve 50% in positive successes. Yet, we reelected him for a second term despite the dangers he posed in his first chaotic term.
White nationalism exists mostly in the Republican Party. But the party is making inroads with Black, Hispanic, Asian, Jewish, Muslim and young voters. Republicans are pitching nationalism and often scapegoating to appeal to these groups.
Democrats are not far off. They are bleeding support because of their so called identity politics. We are screaming racism and antisemitism at the progressive base when the base is trying to encourage the party to change economic direction.
In 2026, we will have candidates running for some form of political office. Several of these candidates will be running as Democrats. Some are flawed people. The Democrats continue to push out candidates that are against the status quo. They are still committed to elected members who are old, supportive of Israel, willing to be bipartisan and willing to embrace conservative policies to stay in office.
The supporters of former vice president Kamala Harris are playing on this "We tried to warn you" nonsense. How can you morally stand on principles of being a progressive and back Israel?
First and foremost, Americans have a right to vote for whomever they chose.
Second, Harris failed to win over voters. She stuck with former president Joe Biden on the economy, Israel, Ukraine, immigration and inflation. The former president failed to listen to voters and his base.
The former president gave unilateral support and cover. We knew Trump would be worse. We demanded that Biden put pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel to stop killing and invading other countries.
The social media influencers who backed Harris ignored the progressive base and the calls for a ceasefire. They ignored the concerns about banning TikTok and calling everyone who opposes Israel a terrorist. They literally were on the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" mantra.
That shows the "tone deafness" within the party.
It is not Rep. Rashida Tlaib's (D-MI) fault for Biden and Harris' missteps. She warned them that Arab Americans did not like being ignored.
30% of Biden's 2020 base were disappointed with his stances on Israel. His iron clad support for that apartheid ethnostate harmed his reelection bid and hurt Harris when she took over after he dropped out. Somehow his stupid Catholic faith led him down this road to destruction. Not to mention the nearly $234 million in AIPAC funding.
Democratic establishment influncers are practically on these platforms saying that they ain't helping the former Biden/Harris voters who voted for as Trump. They are zero summing every action by any of the democratic socialist candidates, nominees or active office holders.
Jaime Harrison, former DNC chairman and senate candidate basically told the candidates who ran on democratic socialism to not be a part of the party.
James Carville demanded the top brass put an end to the rise of this movement. He is married to Mary Matilin, a conservative/libertarian pundit.
Reps. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) and Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) created a caucus that focuses on status quo politics to appease the swing voters (aka white people).
The two party system is wearing thin. Republicans have a favorably of 34%. The Democrats have a favorably of 32%.
Both parties are not doing enough to solve America's problems.
If progressives need to divorce the Democrats, the time is now. I am not voting for the status quo.
I am going to vote for a candidate that focuses on issues that impact the growth of this flawed nation. Not distractions or words. Words do not pay the rent. They do not feed the families. They do not pay my bills. Words do not control the movement of policies.
No more slogans.
It's noise.
Folks, the Democrats must end the rules of engagement. They need to kick out the filth.
End their support of Israel, stop pandering to win votes, embrace embarrassments and stop trying to be friends with MAGAland.
Blue MAGA is a threat too. Because they are too cozy with religion, apartheid, income inequality and racism.
The Democratic Party is now conservative while the Republican Party is now fascist.
The Democrats are ignoring the progressive base.
No more happy clappy liberal.
I am sorry Stephanie Miller, Laurie Daniels Favors, Zerlina Maxwell, Reecie Colbert, Clay Cane and Thom Hartmann: we ain't winning on being positive, cussing or finger waging.
I think it time to go negative and embrace the right's definitions of the left. Be unapologetic about what you stand for and stop trying to reach to a group of people who will never vote for you regardless of what you do. Gamble on the base and folks who see what Trump’s second term done to their lives.
I am not advocating for violence but I will no longer condemn it if it's done in the name of politics. I am tired of trying to push for peace when the opposition is always focused on aggression. When they get what they want (violent resistance), then they scream for peace and accountability.
You want to portray progressives as violent, well okay! You want it so bad, you can get some. That's what you want, right?
The issues are ignored.
I will now be an independent. I will not support the Republican Party or Democratic Party any longer. I am going to stay progressive on most issues involving domestic and social issues. Show some conservative stances on finances giving that things are more expensive and the focus is more on home meals and no longer eating out.
I am no longer tolerating mass texts from Democrats. No more polls. No more we need you.
You have to earn my vote. And you need to prove it by doing what is needed come U.S. Midterms and the 2028 presidential election.
The president is looking to walk away from the very agreement he signed into law.
President Donald J. Trump is about to abandon ship on the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. This was the NAFTA replacement that Trump demanded be changed to favor U.S. interests.
The USMCA is about to collapse. If it does, Mexico will likely partner with BRICS and that will really affect the prices of goods in the United States.
Canada can start freely trading with China with discounts. Since Canadians do not see China as an adversary, they will get an opportunity to bridge a profitable relationship with the world's largest economy.
Six years to the day after the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement on trade took effect, the Trump administration announced Wednesday that it plans to pull the plug on a deal widely viewed as a successful and stabilizing force across North America’s three largest economies.
Instead of renewing the deal, a senior Trump administration official told reporters, the U.S. will begin of a decade of negotiations on amendments to it.
One potential outcome of these negotiations is that Washington could reach separate, bilateral trade agreements, one with Mexico and another with Canada.
The move, which the administration had telegraphed for several months, nonetheless represented a stark reversal for President Donald Trump, who negotiated and signed the USMCA deal in 2018 after he pulled out of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
A year later, Trump called the USMCA “the best and most important trade deal ever made by the USA” on social media.
Fast-forward seven years, and now the administration claims the deal failed to accomplish its goals of modernizing and rebalancing trade among the three countries.
“The primary issues that the president’s been focused on with the world, and particularly with Canada, Mexico, is our trade deficit,” a senior Trump administration official said on the media call.
“When USMCA was adopted six years ago by a bipartisan majority and the president’s approval, the idea is that we would modernize the agreement and it would also lead to rebalancing. The agreement did succeed in modernizing the agreement,” the official said. “But with respect to rebalancing, our trade deficits with both Mexico and Canada shot up during the Biden administration.”
“We’ve started to get it under control, but we believe that the USMCA did not operate to control the deficit like the president intended, so that’s really the heart of it,” the official added.
The collapse of USMCA, widely viewed as one of the few remaining pillars of stability in the Trump-era world of global trade, will amplify economic uncertainty for small and large businesses in all three countries.
However, the senior Trump administration official stressed that the White House is not interested in dragging out talks for the entirety of the 10 years, saying periodic reviews are a feature of the deal.
“It’s called the joint review, and the idea was to make sure that any agreement between Mexico, Canada and the United States always put America first, rather than let a trade deal persist on autopilot over decades,” the official said.
From the beginning of his second term, Trump has made sweeping global tariffs the centerpiece of his economic policy. Against that backdrop, he and his aides have repeatedly taken issue with the tariff exemptions on USMCA-compliant goods that are at the heart of the deal.
But there were also hints Wednesday of the more targeted animosity that has been growing between Washington and Ottawa in Trump’s second term.
Specifically, the senior official took issue with Canada’s decision last year to retaliate against Trump’s tariffs.
Mexico, which did not impose tariff retaliation measures, is in talks with the White House about the future of the deal, the Trump administration official told reporters.
Dominic LeBlanc, the Canadian minister responsible for U.S. trade relations, said in a statement Wednesday that he met with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer earlier in the day and that Canada is “unwavering” in its support for the trade deal.
“Canada approaches these discussions from a position of strength and with the goal of preserving and strengthening one of the most successful trading relationships in the world,” LeBlanc said.
He also took a not-so-subtle dig at Washington, saying, “At a time of global economic uncertainty, Canada is a stable, reliable and trusted partner.”
LeBlanc noted that the agreement “remains fully in force until 2036 and can be renewed at any time for another 16-year period.”
Since it was implemented in 2020, the USMCA has indisputably boosted trilateral trade among the three parties.
“Total intraregional trade in goods” soared from $1.07 trillion in 2020 to more than $1.63 trillion in 2024, according to research from the Brookings Institution.
Stateside, businesses and trade groups have expressed mixed feelings about USMCA.
“North American economic integration enables enormous competitive benefits for the region,” the American Automotive Policy Council said in a statement Wednesday.
But the group also claimed that U.S. automakers “face a disadvantage versus imports from countries whose exports face a flat 15 percent tariff and are not subject to comparable rules of origin. We urge a swift and durable resolution that ensures a level playing field and provides long-term certainty needed for capital-intensive automotive investments.”
The Business Roundtable, which represents many of the largest American companies, from JPMorgan Chase to Home Depot to Hilton and Pepsico, said the deal has resulted in “significant economic benefits.”
“As the agreement reaches this important milestone, the three governments can better align policies against unfair trading practices, reduce regulatory and economic friction within the region, and ensure North America is better positioned to compete with non-market economies,” the business group said, urging Washington to “strengthen and extend USMCA.”
I was expecting the jobs report for June next week. Oh well. Today on Thursday in observance of Independence Day, the 250th Anniversary of the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its jobs report.
Very bad news for the tone deaf curmudgeon.
AMERICANS are definitely split between whether they love or hate this country.
Gas prices, grocery prices, insurance premiums, shipping costs and medical debt are driving people to put off things. Overworked and exhausted of their jobs. More Americans are uncomfortable with their jobs but too afraid to find another. Watching elites carry on like its normal is a recipe for disaster.
Less than 1,000 days of the curmudgeon President Donald J. Trump. We are quickly declining under this chaotic second term.
Since the U.S. government constantly delayed the job report, the partial government shutdown and the president's failure to admit our country is on the decline, we are not going to get accurate numbers.
Liberal rights of freedom of speech, press and association decline, impairing the ability of the political opposition to challenge the government, hold it to account, and propose alternatives to the current regime;
The rule of law (i.e., judicial and bureaucratic restraints on the government) is weakened, such as when the independence of the judiciary is threatened, or when civil service tenure protections are weakened or eliminated.
An over-emphasis on national security as response to acts of terrorism or perceived antagonists.
Politicians can't agree on funding essential needs and services which trigger spiteful pain on the citizens.
FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸!
If you wanted "Death to America," remind yourself that Trump supporters tried to violently overturn a peaceful transfer of power. They violently broke into the U.S. Capitol and tried to kill Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence. Republicans refuse to hold President Donald J. Trump accountable for his actions. They are more upset over protected speech than a foreign country committing war crimes and an active genocide.
Fuck the hypocrisy of President Donald J. Trump, Republicans, the far right, Zionists, former president Joe Biden, Democrats, Israel and the junk food media.
Israel and its propaganda is not working this time around. Too many folks around the world see how the United States, Russia and Israel operate. The world wants it to stop. The U.S. is the only country still backing this evil regime of Israel.
But an eye for an eye is coming.
FOR THE TIME IN POLLING, THE SYMPATHY FOR PALESTINIANS IS GREATER THAN ISRAELIS. THAT MEANS MORE AMERICANS ARE GETTING TIRED OF OUR POLITICIANS PUTTING ISRAEL'S INTERESTS AHEAD OF THE UNITED STATES.
When young Americans are seeing children being blown up, Israeli Defense Soliders wearing the clothes of their victims, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lecturing Americans on what is justified opinionated concerns, the AIPAC lobby trying to deflect by painting critics as being bought by foreign influence, the ADL trying push censorship campaigns on social media, the deflections to blame Muslims, the calls to deport critics because they oppose Israel, calling people "antisemitic" and a "terrorist" to stifle critics is seriously backfiring.
This 🇮🇱 And Zionism Will Be Regarded As A Symbol Of Evil In The 21st Century.
From theRiver to the Sea, Palestine will be Free! 🇵🇸 🍉
Cry more!
I want the U.S., capitalism, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, David Ellison, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, Republicans, Zionism, Israel, weak ass Democrats, the Supreme Court and the whole definition of white supremacy to fail.
And fail they shall.
I am not ashamed to say this.
A civil war is coming.
World War III is here.
So the most dangerous thing in the United States is gun violence. Let's do the numbers.
The U.S. economy saw job creation cool sharply heading into the summer, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday.
Nonfarm payrolls for June increased by a seasonally adjusted 57,000 for the month, slower than the downwardly revised 129,000 added in May and worse than the 115,000 Dow Jones consensus forecast.
The unemployment rate, however, dropped to 4.2%, and slightly ahead of the 4.1% where it was a year ago.
The first foreign born American sexual predator trillionaire.
The move lower was largely due to a slump in the labor force participation rate, which dropped 0.3 percentage point to 61.5%, the lowest since March 2021. Household employment plummeted during the month, with 507,000 fewer people reported at work. A broader unemployment measure that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons declined by 0.2 percentage point to 7.9%.
Prior months also saw significant downward revisions — the May total, which had been much stronger than economists had anticipated, was cut by 43,000, while April’s figure came down 31,000 to 148,000 as the report showed labor market growth significantly slower than previously thought.
Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% for the month and 3.5% from a year ago, both in line with the consensus forecasts.
Professional and business services contributed the most, with a gain of 36,000. Social assistance added 25,000 and health care employment rose by 22,000, a slower-than-normal pace for the industry. Government jobs rose by 8,000.
However, leisure and hospitality reported a loss of 61,000 jobs, which the BLS said reflected slower than usual seasonal hiring. There had been speculation that the World Cup might provide some boost to the payroll numbers, with Goldman Sachs estimating a gain of 40,000.
The Great American State Fair flopped.
Most other categories showed little change.
The report comes with Federal Reserve policymakers expressing mixed feelings about the economy – mostly positive on growth though apprehensive on inflation as earlier fears about weakness in the labor market have eased. However, the weak report Thursday could change the labor market view.
In an appearance Wednesday, Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh called the jobs picture “steady” as he continued to emphasize the importance of bringing inflation down to the central bank’s 2% target. Inflation has been running north of that goal for the past five years, with the most recent surge in part due to the Iran war and ongoing impacts from tariffs.
Markets expect the Fed to stay on hold during the summer but currently are pricing in a solid chance of a quarter percentage point rate hike in September. However, Warsh has eschewed any type of “forward guidance” on where rates are headed and has said repeatedly during his short term at the helm that he is not committed to any type of policy path.

Iran War: Trump accuses Iran of violating the truce with the US by launching drone attacks on ships in the Hormuz.[457] The United States Central Command later announces that in retaliation to the alleged truce violations, the US hit Iranian missile and drone storage facilities, as well as coastal radar stations.[458]
Former national security adviser John Bolton pleads guilty to improperly retaining classified material.[459]
Iran War: The US military announces that it struck Iranian military surveillance infrastructure, communication systems, air defense sites, drone storage facilities, and minelayer capabilities at the commander-in-chief's direction in retaliation for an alleged Iranian attack against a ship in the Hormuz.[462] Trump accuses Iran of repeatedly violating the ceasefire memorandum, expressing doubt about their ability to learn from past mistakes. He warns of a potential point where the U.S. will be forced to militarily "complete the job", stating that if this occurs, the Iranian regime could cease to exist.[463]
Trump takes his first flight in the new Air Force One, which was gifted by Qatar.[480]
Three American soldiers are injured and one soldier is missing after their MH-60S Seahawk helicopter went down in the Arabian Sea.[481]
The United States support for Israel is collapsing but it hasn't stop the Zionists. Their attempts to influence CBS News, TikTok, Meta, Google and X are failing.
Israel continues its genocide despite the phony U.S.-backed ceasefire. Israel is planning on invading Iran again.
Israel has violated the ceasefire thousands of times. They are still killing people, still withholding crucial aid and continuing to push propaganda to shield itself from accountability.
Zohran Mamdani backed Darializa Avila Chevalier and she won.
Public officials and federal elected officials from both sides have tried to push more nanny state policies in defense of Israel. Officials from the Bush, Obama, Biden and Trump Administration have ran cover for this apartheid ethnostate.
France, Great Britain, Italy, Canada, Australia, Spain, Portugal, Mexico and the Netherlands officially move to recognize Palestinian statehood. Israel and the United States denounced it quickly. Trump and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio threaten revocation of visas and tariffs.
Israel and its allies overplayed the use of antisemitism. From now on, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing Christianity, Judaism or Islam, I will not hold my tongue. You can freely criticize Israel, Jews, Trump, Vance, Biden, Harris, Benjamin Netanyahu, AIPAC, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism and white supremacy.
Racism unfortunately is protected speech.
Antisemitism is protected speech.
Being a bigot is a choice which allows some people to "other" those who do not agree with the status quo of how America is ran.
Trump is against DEI. The president supports banning DEI when it supports people of color, those in LGBTQ community and immigrants. Every other religion that isn't Christian, Catholic or Jewish is DEI and it has to go.
The U.S. violated the USMCA by imposing tariffs on its trading partners. Mexico and Canada have vowed to impose their series of tariffs. BRICS is courting Mexico to join the organization.
The world is losing patience with the U.S. and Israel. Many countries are moving away from the U.S. dollar.
Iran has already started the process. It has pushed for dedollarization. It has called for the use of Chinese Yuan to trade oil and several countries are working on doing it.
NATO is about to fall apart. Thanks to Trump having his tantrums, his European allies and Turkïye are distancing themselves from this war with Iran.
The mean girls are leaving. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jasmine Crockett, Elise Stefanik and Nancy Mace will no longer be distractions come Jan. 2027.
Countries have now denied entry to Israeli passport holders: Algeria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, The United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil, Cyprus and Qatar are considering it.
More countries are considering to ban Israelis. The only country that wants to keep Israelis coming in without any problems is the United States.
Trump despite winning the election is still telling Americans that if he doesn't win, there will be all out war. He is true to his word.
He has already sparked global tension with threats of tariffs on our trading partners.
Republicans can't govern in the House of Representatives and Senate. Every government shutdown is a prime example of how their incompetence is in full effect. They are pushing authoritarianism in states they have control of. They are banning swatting, honing and regulations on testing. But when it comes to people being killed by firearms, they refuse to do something. Republicans will sabotage themselves and Trump. The Big Beautiful Bill itself is a disgrace that could impact millions of working class Americans, the poor, the needy, transgender Americans, professional gamblers, the adult entertainment industry and so many others. The tax code is changed and more Americans are getting less in tax refunds thanks to the no taxes on tips and overtime. It will shock many who file their taxes.
Republicans don't care because of course, y'all voted for this.
Republicans are using dog whistles when talking about Blacks, immigrants, transgender Americans, Israel, crime, protesters and gun violence.
1. Hamas and Hezbollah are called terrorists because of Israel and the United States. They labeled them terrorists because of their resistance to Israel violently occupying their land. Israel has resorted to years of shameful aggression to punish Lebanese, Syrians, Gazans and those in the West Bank. The United States gave aid and cover to this for over a generation. Those who support Hamas or defend their actions are labeled terrorist sympathizers, antisemitic, traitors, unpatriotic, radicals or whatever they conjure up. The Zionists are getting desperate. They are resorting to violence and threats of banning critics.
2. Gun violence continues to be the No. 1 threat to children and adults. When gun violence happen in Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Atlanta, Washington, DC, Detroit and Baltimore, a Republican lawmaker wants to blame gun violence on Democratic mayors instead of the Congress. We are on record with 450 mass shootings this year alone. White men with firearms are more dangerous than any other person.
3. Immigration is right now at record lows. The world views the U.S. as a hostile country and migrants from the Global South are beginning to ban American influence. They fear Trump's presidency could cause instability. Republicans are pushing for border closures, border/segregation walls, mass deportations, elimination of birthright citizenship, end of legal rights to Americans married to immigrants and push for English only. They also want to ban immigrants or student visas. They want to jail or deport any immigrant who protest Israel or Trump. This immigration and detention of civilians has travel into the United States down at record levels.
4. Crime is at record lows but it is rising. Property theft is up. Shoplifting, the Kia/Hyundai challenge, gun violence, white collar crimes and cybertheft have occurred. But again its racial dog whistles. Many corporations are getting away with greed and theft of wages. Many Americans are tired of paying more for less product. Kia and Hyundai are still facing criticism over this Kia Boyz nonsense. Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS, Wexman are on their last legs. Walmart, Target and Kroger are closing stores in predominantly Black and Latino neighborhoods. Republicans are pushing for more mandatory sentences for theft. Democrats want to push for regulations on shrinkflation and theft of wages. Republicans oppose overtime and regulations to keep corporations from raising product prices. Trump is sending the National Guard into Portland, Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Memphis, Baltimore and Washington, DC despite mayors denouncing this as an attempt to uphend the local police and their qualified training.
Republicans want political revenge. Trump wants to jail his rivals. He may get that wish now that he has returned to power. This is not a joke.
Do not assume that every place has jobs. Companies are closing everywhere. The tech industry, retail, trucking and press are laying off workers. The service industry is continuing to suffer due to stagnant wages, lack of achievements and work overload.
Instead of using Rubio or Vance, Trump uses his idiot son-in-law and his crony to ease already global tensions.
Also, housing is still down. More Americans can't afford homes, rent or car payments.
AIPAC has poured money into many of these primaries. It openly bragged that its choices which were Democrats and Republicans beating their challengers.
House members passed a bill to define antisemitism in attempt to suppress freedom of speech. The insufferable House of Representatives in a bipartisan moment are trying to criminalize thought and dissent.
They are now trying to outlaw any criticism of Israel as hate speech which could be punishable by sanctions, divestment or allowing companies to terminate employment of anyone who dares criticizes Israel.
They are taking vacations while you barely even get one or the luxury of taking days off.
Let me get this straight: You are more upset over words than actions. You are upset someone using their freedom of speech to criticize a foreign country engaged in a propaganda campaign to shield itself from war crimes and impunity. You are upset over people using their voices, their wallets and their time to protest an injustice. Well, get upset over your taxpayer money aiding foreign nations. Get upset over foreign nations killing Americans in a war funded by our taxpayer money. Get upset over the deaths of thousands in Haiti, Chad, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Venezuela, Myanmar, Mexico, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ukraine and Palestine. Mind you, our taxpayer money funds Israel more than any other country in conflicts. Get upset at your president, your senator, your representative, your governor, your state leader, your mayor and your local junk food media for bowing to the evil regime of Israel.
Republicans see the only path to victory is basically obstruct and complain about the media, Democrats and former Republicans. They won't offer solutions or policies. All they care about is trying to keep folks angry with culture wars and distractions. Democrats want to be the big tent party but always want to pivot to the middle or develop centrist ideas to win over Republicans who will never change.
Did the turtle die?
To make this clear, it doesn't matter anymore who the fucking president is.
Most of the lawmakers are relics of the 20th Century. They will never retire or do anything meaningful. All they do is line their pockets with book deals, media appearances, kushy lobbying jobs and fancy parties.
The status quo continues with political charades, support of Israel and endless culture war grievances.
Trump turned a stable economy into chaos. During his first term, he divided the nation.
Biden has divided the nation further allowing Trump to return to put the nail in the coffin of this once respected nation.
I will hold Trump accountable for his actions.
I. Am. Calling. Him. Out.
What pisses me off is our lawmakers are calling protesters "Hamas supporters" to paint peaceful protests as an act of "terrorism." Their reactionary response to anger over America's support of Israel will lead to our standing with the world. With billions of dollars of aid going to Israel, you would think that American lawmakers would have our taxpayer money spent on more useful things!
The lawmakers will spend more taxpayer money to fix our crumbling infrastructure. Hell we still have the aftermaths of hurricanes, wildfires, droughts and snow storms. Thousands of people have died from those horrible weather events.
Many of these Republicans who vote against funding the government and assistance for some of America's less fortunate are willing to give billions to a foreign nation engaged in an act of genocide. Same with the Democrats. They claim they want to protect democracy but endorse a fascist government sworn to being an ethnostate on our taxpayer dime.
So the list of things that drives Trump health into decline.

Monthly reminders:
A deadly disease doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations.
An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.
Serbia revolts against Trump and Jared Kushner's land grab.
You're not safe in the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.
Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen. Companies are struggling to find workers. They are now trying to push incentives to get workers in. However, there is always a catch to working entry level jobs that make over $20 an hour. Folks must work hours that do not accommodate home and social life. It may only be part time work or temporary. Some jobs may force overtime or refuse to pay for work rendered. With unions being weaken by states, it may be an at-will company. So if you are on social media, protesting injustices, supporting controversial issues or making threats to local officials; you could lose your job.
The safety net: It's this thing that helps the middle class and lower class. The safety net prevents Americans from rioting and/or looting. The safety net stops people from shoplifting from stores to feed their families.
The safety net prevents a person from robbing you of your luxuries.
The safety net is only 10% of the federal spending. The way some people put it, 50% of the federal spending goes to food stamps and welfare. Some people believe that the safety net is making people lazy. And this is the stuff I've heard from people who think that it will never happen to them. They get their arousal over a person using an EBT card to pay for name brand items or expensive food.
With the rising food and gas prices, people are turning to food stamps, food banks and government assistance to keep themselves from landing in the homeless shelter.
Without a safety net, these people will rob and kill those who have the luxuries of having food in the refrigerator or in the pantry. They would steal fuel, water, bread and meat to keep feeding their families. And yet, these Republicans, Democrats and their conservative allies are thinking the poor are the reasons for a potential economic recession.
Perhaps those who complain about the poor, should walk a day in that person's shoes!

Companies are cautious about hiring employees. Because of the Trump administration rolling back DEI and arresting undocumented workers, employers are struggling to keep employees. It puts more stress on the workers, managers and suppliers.
With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to work at jobs that pays dirt wages. Many who worked in the retail, restaurant and low end service industry are not willing to take a job for less than $10 an hour. Matter of fact, no one can survive on $15 an hour.
Melat Kiros defeats Diana DeGette. The longtime Colorado lawmaker's dismissal of Palestinians dying went viral and cost her the reelection bid.
Republicans never get it. They just won't see the bigger picture itself. Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. They are frustrated with stagnant wages.
They are tired of low wages for heavy workloads. They are tried of food and consumer products being expensive.
Capitalism is a product of white supremacy. It has been a proven failure. Too many Americans are facing inequality through capitalism. Of the billionaires, 98% of them are white. The world is losing patience with the U.S. dollar ruining their economies.
Americans are tired of the rich and elite hoarding the wealth.
Republicans rather continue to believe in conspiracies about people using the safety net are lazy and unemployment assistance is way to make people not go back to work.
Give them a liveable wage and maybe things might improve in the job market.
We can't always assume that folks who do not work are lazy. These troupes give Republicans the opportunity to strip away the safety net to offset their endless giveaways to the elite and wealthy.
People are literally dying from being exposed to the coronavirus, monkeypox, measles, bird flu and gun violence.
The Palestinians resistance is at the FIFA World Cup.
Most Americans are tired of the status quo of their jobs.
Many single parents are having trouble trying to find quality daycare or family members to watch children. On top of that, some have lost family members due to the pandemic and unforseen circumstances due to Trump’s chaotic policies. A homemaker may have lost their spouse. Some may have no choice but to watch their children or loved ones due to the aftermath of the pandemic.
Folks are still trying to rebound from medical bills, late rent payments, owing taxes and college loans.
Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience.
Trump's presidency and Republican controlled governments are incompetent.
Their leadership has killed millions of Americans.
Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.
We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.
Keep pressure on them with Israel.
Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid.
Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.
Republicans have extremely unpopular ideas. They will find out the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies.
Biden, Harris and the Democratic Party failed at understanding what is more important to the country. Trump, Vance and the Republican Party have already failed at understanding.
Both parties support of Israel had made some Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters vote against them. They have cost Biden a second term and Harris a historical victory.

Let me be clear: I do not condone violence towards to politicians, media personalities, animals and property. I am not condemning things any longer. I am getting tired of putting empathy on antipathy.
Any current or future government shutdown will definitely rile up people. When you start fucking with the money, people start going crazy. Especially when their needs outmatch the noise of Congress and the junk food media.
If you care about the future and want to voice your frustration with your federal officials, let 2026 be the call to action.
The call center to the White House and Congress should still be the same.
The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police.
Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. You want no more qualified immunity for police officers who use deadly force when it's not justified. Let them know that deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. You want the U.S. to improve the immigration process. You want the U.S. lawmakers stop dehumanizing human beings. You want the U.S. to prove to the world its a beacon of freedom. You want our American military and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents out of our cities, the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. Let them know that you tired of being lectured about oppresive regimes overseas when the very people running our state and federal government are doing the same in real time. Let them know that you will not tolerate a government shutdown which affects federal services for Americans in need or in support of services. Let them know that pulling out of the UN Human Rights Organization, World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords will put the U.S. in danger when catastrophic event happen. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel and Ukraine. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism because you support the freedom of Palestinians. You are tired of the propaganda being forced on your media platforms.
We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire, a weapons embargo, sanctions and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more domestic or foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists and special interest groups.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!
LET ME BE CLEAR, PRAYERS DO NOT STOP FUCKING BULLETS!
THIS IS A MAN-MADE ISSUE! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO STOP A MAN-MADE ISSUE LIKE GUN VIOLENCE?
STOP SAYING YOU'RE PRAYING TO PEOPLE AFFECTED BY GUN VIOLENCE. IT IS FUCKING PLATITUDES. DO SOMETHING ABOUT FUCKING GUN VIOLENCE YOU WORTHLESS LAWMAKERS. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, THE CHOICE TO CONTINUE THE STATUS QUO WILL KEEP YOU AND OTHERS AT RISK OF VIOLENCE. MAKE A CHOICE TO STOP THE CHAOS AND ACT LIKE A FUCKING 80 YEAR OLD MAN. DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE COUNTRY.
IRAN IS RIGHT! THE UNITED STATES HAS A BUNCH OF PEOPLE INSTALLED WITH A SIXTH GRADE EDUCATION. AMERICANS MAKE SO MUCH MONEY OFF OF DIVISION. THEY ARE WILLING TO SOW CHAOS TO THE NEXT POTENTIAL THREATS. I WISH WE CAN STOP GASLIGHTING AND COME TO SENSIBLE SOLUTIONS. HOWEVER, WHITE LEADERSHIP IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF THE CHAOS IN THE WORLD.
