I usually type a few quotes each time I post. This time I figured I’d post some facts to contemplate.
- Lawmakers in several states (Florida & Louisiana to name a few) have introduced legislation banning the intentional release of air-borne chemicals that modify the climate. A debunked conspiracy that the vapor trails left from aircraft are actually chemicals being disperse to control population & the weather. Associated Press – OMFG Please say it isn’t true!
- The current administrations Department of Homeland Security hub for terrorism prevention has appointed a 22-year-old former Trump campaign worker (Thomas Fugate) as head of the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships. No military, law enforcement or terrorism training background. And we are worried about undocumented immigrants. The Daily Beast – God help us!
- Since the start of his presidential bid, Trump has doubled his wealth to $5.4 billion from real estate projects, bitcoin, bibles and watches. Now he is going to pawn cell phone plans. The New York Times – And you Libs keep saying this is all about him. He hasn’t taken a paycheck because he loves this country. You idiots!
- The Big Beautiful Bill will give the wealthiest 10% of households an average $12,000/yr boost in resources, a 2.3% increase in income, while the bottom 10% will lose about $1,600/yr., a 4% decrease. Bloomberg
- There were 10.5 million undocumented immigrants in the US in 2021. There were 11 million as of 2022. That is only 3% of the population. That follows a downward trend from 2007 – 2019. Still 11 million is lower than the high of 12.2 in 2007. This administration wants to deport 3,000/day, let’s say over 300 days = 900,000 deportations. Definitely not all criminals, but just to prove a point. At some point, businesses & the economy will suffer. But it won’t matter, because he did what he said he was going to do, and I feel much safer now for sure!
- The latest monthly treasury statement says Federal Government spending is up $142 billion in the first half of 2025 compared to 2024. DOGE did such a great job at government efficiency, says the guy who bankrupted 6 different business entities. Hahahahahaha.
