Bartiromo: "We are waiting any moment now to get the jobs number for the month of June. The expectations call for the numbers to be up 95,000. Right now seeing the number -- actually, uh, showing a decline in jobs, uh, down 33,000, uh."
That was not hard to see coming. Placing tariffs on everything imported in the short term is going to raise prices and that is going to slow the economy a bit.
Long term (~5 years), they may, if targeted correctly incentivize on-shoring of some manufacturing.

As it pertains to family, I'll throw out my Dad's famous "family" quote. "Who needs enemies when you've got family?" Truer words have never been spoken.
My Mom's family (in Lanett, Alabama) were pretty cool, but they're all out in the cemetery now except for Mom. We, the younger generation, well, we're in our 50s and there IS a family gathering every 2 years (or was until the aunt that planned it crossed over Jordan a couple of Christmases ago).

On my Dad's side, well.....most of them never left rural Missouri and loathe my Dad for doing it. My family was mean - we used to mail calendars to guys on death row or serving life sentences as Christmas gifts so they could count down the days - and skeptical of any and all medicine except, of course, when they themselves felt bad.

LOL. Southern Gothic lives! If she were alive, Flannery O'Connor would want to interview you for a new novel. :D

And just wait until there is a death of a parent, and watch the gargoyles and harpies descend upon the unsuspecting grieving family members. Every one of them looking for their share of the loot or an affirmation of their lunacy.

Chris Murphy:

Yesterday, Trump illegally cut off funding for public schools, precipitating a huge crisis for thousands of schools.

This is a result of the recent Supreme Court ruling neutering federal courts.

1/ A dystopian new reign of lawlessness is likely coming. Let me explain.

Murphy is an idiot. I have to give him props though for understanding what it takes for him to make money and stay in office......major kudos for that!

Meanwhile.....keep stoking fear to your base. Red meat......mmmmm........:giggle:

It won't be much and it will never generate manufacturing-level job numbers. Robots and AI will see to that. The tariffs really amount to a massive regressive sales tax on the consuming public.

Beat me to it. Selma's snippet of info is as good a basis for a Southern Gothic tale as any. LOL!

And the irony?

For all the Trump haters out there.......

....stuff like this is WHY you lost the election.

Yet.......you do not understand this.

And continue down the same path of ignorance.

My turn for blue font:

Shocking! :giggle:
I sleep easier at night knowing woke, transtesticle, gay drag queen immigrant murderers aren't playing 'B" team softball at my local high school, and not walking around with mirrors on their shoes to look up girls' dresses in the wrong bathrooms. :D

But, Hell, they're only there because of DEI in the 1st place.

And critical race theory.

You think that's what this is about? :giggle:

Thanks for making my point.

Please continue to beat the "identity politics" drum.....and enjoy your presidency! You earned it!

A cute reply but my question is if the trannies are already in the locker rooms then why the need for mirrors.

Smarter minds determined a hundred years or so ago that men versus women in sports was not even remotely fair to the women. So they separated them. It works perfectly. Both men and women can compete against their own gender, carving out a place where women can compete and have a realistic chance of winning. Sports is not a social justice experiment. Either tell those that went through puberty as a man to play against other men or better yet let's pass Title 9.5 that creates a separate category for people that have decided to live a different gender than what they were born with.

A dear friend of Mrs. Tidewater is in her late 50s. Her mother was in her 80s and had cancer. The 50 year old drove an hour one-way to take her mother to all her chemo and oncology appointments. Sadly, eventually, mom passed. The 50-year old woman was planning on moving back home and living in her mother's house (she had grown up in that house, and it had been paid off decades in the past).
Unbeknownst to the woman, he 30-something son (a lawyer) had had grandma declared mentally incompetent, drafted a new will, which left everything to him. When grandma passed, the house was on the market within hours and sold within days. He had never mentioned any of this to his mother.

I was gobsmacked. I assume it was all legally done, but I cannot imagine taking the house from my mother and selling it without mentioning it.

It's actually between 1.5% and 2% of all babies. Most people aren't even aware that the delivering doctor generally made the decision as to which gender to assign. IDK how many hospitals now actually try to ascertain chromosomal gender...
