Regarding Venezuela, only change is Maduro is no longer able to perform his duties as President. Who is in charge? Supposedly the Vice President who is reportedly in Russia. So who is the US negotiating with and the demands?

I think the WNBA is doomed. The players will expect too much, the owners have too little to offer because they gave away their best revenue for too long and too little - TV contract!

Democrats (Governors and Mayors) are losing the Crime narrative by using terms like Resist. All communities could use additional resources to fight crime. The National Guard is more costly and less effective than other Federal capabilities. Plus, it is unconstitutional to activate them in States.

Near Tampa, imagine if that was your only choice. If you were disabled, how expensive it would be to get to appointments or do things without the ability to drive. Don't let the allure of minuscule tax savings make others life harder! And this will be all of FL floridapolitics.com/archives/753...

Everyone seems to have moved on from the real story, Putin and Trump talked for 2+ hours and seemingly discussed nothing but Trump changed his tune. I bet Trump was offered a trade deal that gives us the mineral rights he's been after and more!

Screwups happen but there needs to be accountability, covering up by lying is criminal. www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n...

This is a conservative sheriff punching the Trump administration for poaching crime fighting personnel to round up immigrants.

Trumps tariff letters are so obvious. Due to the lack of new trade deals, peace deals, he needs to up his great negotiator image. You can't claim fake wins without instigating the battles!

I'd offer that the strike on Iran was the easiest decision ever. The primary reason that it hadn't happened before was the resulting regional conflict from Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. With those greatly reduced or eliminated, too easy!

Court blocking reciprocal tariffs is a gift to Trump. The economic disaster that was derailing his term and affecting the midterms will be a blip now except the next jolt when the Supreme Court will put them back in play. They let overreach play out until it gets through regular appeals process.

It's pretty clear that Trumps view on tariffs has changed. Revenue and equity have been superceded by recession and midterms; hence, his constant delay.

Made it to around 25 laps watching Indy 500. Always frustrating to watch, too many cautions early on. Was interesting to watch one take themselves out before the race began.

This should be bigger news. The ramifications in trying to get vaccinated for under 65. Will our health plans now require painful costly process to be deemed high risk? Already bad enough that the vaccine wanes quickly so playing roulette for 1/2 year. Guess we are going F around and find out!

Everyone is still missing the greatest problem with the Qatar 747. The original Air Force One replacement contract in 2018 was for retrofitting existing 747-8i. So retrofitting a 747-800 now will not change cost or schedule.

We're missing the biggest issue with the Qatar 747 gift, already have enough Air Force Ones, buying two new ones. How much will it save taxpayers to retrofit and retire to a presidential library, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and cost 100's of millions. Free isn't always smart!

Where did all the screaming goat commercials come from?

Another problem that tariffs tend to cause are counterfeit products, such as car parts.

I don't think people really understand the Prince Harry security spat. It's about having armed security which he is being denied even if he pays for it.

Another good article that more than 50% of an imported product sales price actually goes into the US economy. www.frbsf.org/research-and....

Looks like Saudi Arabia is using the same playbook for oil as in the first Trump administration, try to hamper shale oil by allowing prices to be lower despite the negative $$$ consequences but improve their other needs!

Not sure I understand the stock markets reaction to GDP and PCE. Clearly the US economy is at a precipice and the numbers don't show that anything good is coming. I guess we'll see a reaction when employment numbers sour or is it optimism that the fed will cut rates.

The US economy dash just lit up like a christmas tree but in this fantasy administration, those are fake and we're running better than ever!

Best part of the Shadeur Sanders draft video is the dog joining in.

Zelensky must realize that a ceasefire is just an end to violence, Russia will never relent in trying to destroy and pacify all of Ukraine. A weak, Russia puppet is the endgame!

Anyone notice that many turn to biblical affirmations after they've been humbled instead of being humble from the start.

Not a Shadeur hater but maybe humility will do him a favor.

I understand the Jaguars wanting to trade up to get Travis Hunter, definitely don't understand why you give up a 1st RND (2026) plus all the others.

Investors are ignoring that there are still tariffs and that the likelihood of a recession is at it's highest. I guess they just like the lack of a $h!t show everyday!

Never really paid much attention to food dye debate. I remember some when our child was a pre-teen. No benefit, some clear evidence it might be harmful, FDA doesn't study, I am baffled that it takes so long to remove the worst. We'll see whether manufacturers can sway RFK or go to Trump.

Trump is using Powell etc. as a scapegoat for his disastrous policies, when the numbers equate to a recession he'll just blame the Federal Reserve and people will believe him.

Watch out, conspiracists have moved from just saying "I read it" or "heard it" to "it was in the news" and "it was a study".

Last 4 years must have been bad, I remember all the countrywide protests after inauguration.

Bought a ham today for Easter. WTF is a semi-boneless ham?

Illegal immigration has always been frowned upon but the old arguments were about $$$ and priorities. How much does it cost us to ignore versus how much does it cost us to police. Plus, how effectively can you police?

Go figure, another mass shooting where a parents gun is used. We should be punishing the adults who negligently allow others access to their guns.

Dreaming the Life because Living the Dream is out of reach!!

Just remember, Trump never said anything about higher wealth so wrecking the global economy and corresponding oil prices is on brand.

One of FL's secrets is that they prefer Federal money directly into State coffers because they invest it and delay spending to rake in the profit. ExplainS FEMA discussions!

Some part of me believes the design of all the chaos is to ferment outrage into protests and then to violence so martial law can be enacted.

Go figure, the Senior Center renovated a set of bathrooms but did they put an automatic door for wheelchairs, NOPE. Worse is they have a door latch so you can't even just push open the door.

Trumps understanding of economics is like someone's sitting on a couch watching waterpolo. They don't know how it works and they don't see what's going on underneath!

Congress never envisioned that when they delegated power of tariffs for National Security to the President that one day, it would be abused and destructive.

The fact that I had to learn that between 1957 and 1968 some people got a less effective MMR should be evidence enough that HHS is not helping anymore.

There should be a study of basketball coaches. Betting teams rarely perform when their coach starts overreacting to everything.

Disconnected my power in FL county in 1996 and just got a check forwarded to me from my childhood address (brother still lives there and probably the forwarding address I provided) with a refund from the power company. Took 30 years, WTF!

In sports, there is aggressive plays and dirty plays. Brazil is showing they're more into dirty plays vs USWNT.

I think the general consensus of Trump voters are: 1) He's fighting for us 2) Any downside is temporary 3) We'll be better off

Use to like the Amazing Race. First, it was always on when NFL would run into 60 minutes so CBS would preempt it. Now, this season, the show essentially let the worst teams to just vote the top two teams to the bottom without having to lift a finger.

I bet the next comment out of the administration is ... but look at crypto!

With all the tariff distractions, it's been 74 days without even a ceasefire in Russia-Ukraine War.
