In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

any info on this …anyone?
Here you go… lots of info on all the celebrations that will be happening:
https://america250.org/
And this is specifically the DC rally:

“Oregon middle school hosts ‘Drag Day’ encouraging students to cross-dress during Pride Week”, from Fox News.
The middle school needs to be sued. Pride is one of the seven deadly sins, something to be avoided in my religion.
Homosexuality is an abomination according to the Bible. It should be taught as such, not celebrated.
Our founding presidents were fluent in four languages by the age of ten. Our public schools are failing. They should be defunded.
I just read that President Trump has appealed to the Supreme Court to address him ability to fire people from the Dept. of Education.
If he has to keep them, maybe he can put them back to work answering phones so people don’t have to deal with over two hour wait times just to talk to a human being.
That’s not efficient, it’s abusive to the public.
This Means guy seems to be the attack dog for the watered-down MAHA report. This is not what we voted for.
The report cited studies that do not exist.
CIA Central Casting: The Means Episode
Who are Casey and Calley Means? Genuine medical freedom leaders or carefully curated agents of deep state control?

HOW THE MEANSES’ MESSAGING SUBVERTS THE MEDICAL FREEDOM AGENDA
Unlike the stories about their backgrounds and ability to broker one of the most consequential political alliances in recent American history, the Means siblings’ claims about the ills of the American medical system, the harms of ultra-processed foods, and the pervasiveness of chronic disease are generally true.
As they endlessly and loudly proclaim:
-Enormous amounts of unregulated chemicals in food and in the environment are doubtless causing morbidity and mortality in the U.S. population, and have been for decades, as we all know.
-Corrupt corporate influence has created perverse incentives so that pharmaceutical companies and the entire medical system profit from people being sick, not from making them healthy. Again, not news.
-Huge swaths of the population are being medicated for chronic diseases, like diabetes, that could be mitigated through lifestyle changes. Indeed, countless lucrative careers in diet and lifestyle coaching have been built around this premise.
-Prescribing Ozempic to every overweight child and adult on Medicare will bankrupt the country. Of course.
And so on.
The problem with this messaging is not whether it’s true. The problem is that it distracts from and dissipates the urgency of the post-Covid medical freedom agenda: exposing the atrocities of the lockdown-until-vaccine response, repealing all the laws and regulations that made it possible, and preventing further injury and death from mRNA vaccine products.
Another huge problem with the Meanses’ message – an intentional one, I would contend – is that it obscures the acute recent rises in death and illness since the introduction of the mRNA shots, by claiming that “metabolic dysfunction” caused by poisons in our food and environment is the underlying cause of everything.
Consider this question: If there was an unregulated, globally mandated intervention that caused millions of injuries and deaths over the last four years, what better way to hide the specific cause of those injuries and deaths than by claiming that poisonous chemicals have actually been causing a rapid rise in those exact types of injuries and deaths for decades?
[big snip]
I agree, distraction at best
Yes, unless MAHA takes on the toxic vaccines it is all smoke and mirrors. Hey…look over here at all we are doing to make your food healthier and let’s call it something new “metabolic health” and at the same time continuing with the mRNA gene therapy injections and other injections keeping the medical establishment/big pharma humming with cash from giving us “vaccines” and then in turn curing the chronic illnesses they cause. We see what you are doing…
Interesting take. And it’s logical.
This song makes me think of President Trump and Musk.
Elton John just chimed in:
So goodbye Elon my friend…
We both knew how this would end.
You can’t plant me in your doghouse…
And ever hope to ascend.
Back to the howling old men on the Hill…
Fighting the Dems at the gate.
Oh…I’ve finally decided my future lies
In Making America Great!
Brilliant! 🇺🇸
My mom would have loved your comment…
My wife may disagree 🙂
Trump has God on his side, Elon thinks he is God.
Elon takes advice from no one.
It is a shame that Ukraine doesn’t seem to want peace.
You have the Ukrainian people who have been suffering terribly under the people who have taken over the government of Ukraine. Families whose fathers, brothers, husbands have been swept off into the meat-grinder.
Yes! I have seen some of the videos where young men were scooped up off the street. Very sad. One that sticks in my mind was a young man walking his dog…. and how sad the dog looked watching the van that stole its human 🙁
I have seen very few videos from Ukraine but one I saw just made me sick. A father and son were attached to a lamp pole by plastic wrap wrapped around them, evidently to wait for what would happen to them.
I will pray for Ukraine to reap the bitterweeds it has sown.
Let Ukraine pray for Ukraine, tired of their nonsense.
Each country on its own.
America First and Only Anerica
Pray for the suffering of the Ukraine people. Many are trapped in this quagmire of war and are victims of Ukraine’s leadership.
When Donald Trump gazes into the mirror, he sees a reflection of the American people; in contrast, Elon Musk sees only himself. Trump has staked his legacy, reputation, and fortune in service to the nation, while Musk’s bold ventures, though daring, ultimately serve his personal vision. In a world where wealth amplifies one’s voice, it is not the volume of that voice that matters, but the integrity revealed through one’s actions.
very well said
So confused about this Whole issue but everything points to Trump not having anything to do with Epstein, except to help in Epstein’s prosecution & ban Epseten from Mar-a-lago
Yet there area Twits saying it was all a prank….Are Elon and Trump on the outs or NOT.
Pretty sure those tweets are fake.
“Trump not interested in talking to Musk: ‘Elon’s totally lost it’
Trump also says he’s not worried about Musk suggesting the formation of a new political party.”
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-not-interested-talking-musk-elons-totally-lost-it
Thank You—I was thinking Fake too—However, quite a few think Trump & Elon pulled a prank on Americans to get the Liberals all riled up.
Although I will probably still use “X”, I pretty sure I’m dropping out of Team Elon.
Wonder how this affects Trump’s “X” account.
Trump has Truth Social, it’s doubtful he’ll use X.
These tweets are likely fake. The dates are in the British format. US would be 6/5/2025, British would be 5/6/2025.
Nice try!
The memes and pranks based off of this are VAST and many are hilarious. But no. Not real. Trump is not ready to have a conversation with Musk today as reported. Trump is going to let him stew on what was probably the biggest mistake Elon has ever made.
That’s the objective truth of this.
Sundance’s analysis was shockingly accurate. I didn’t want to believe it but he made the prediction and it happened at a time far better than expected. But the reality is they were probably planning to detonate the Elon-bomb during the midterms as Sundance predicted, but the matter of Ukraine and its funding and support were at risk which is clearly a much more immediate concern to the swamp. Therefore, the bomb was triggered early.
Will Trump and Elon “make up?” I don’t know. Trump has Musk stewing. Elon is probably eating himself from the inside out with anxiety over the huge mistake his uncontrolled outburst may cost him… no… WILL cost him. Trump will offer an olive branch and maybe even a fig leaf (one for peace and the other to cover Elon’s shame) before the midterms where Twitter could make things more difficult so let’s be honest about that.
I never had any “stock” in Elon and that’s just what it is. I never had expectations and I never had hopes. Whatever good things came from Musk I was glad for them, but it didn’t make me a fanboy. I don’t trust his electric cars because they are surveillance machines and robots, not cars. I don’t trust his other endeavors such as Starlink because his alignment is ALWAYS larger in scope than his individual products — he’s NOT “an entrepreneur” in the Mike Lindell sense. He doesn’t make products as a means of earning a living. He makes products as a stepping stone to much larger ideas and they are ALL seemingly about something larger than humanity itself.
He’s got children and loves them dearly. It’s undeniable. But of all of the things about him I really like? That was the entire list. He loves his children.
No matter how much they scheme and use Elon and others like him, the people support the Trump America first agenda. They can’t put the genie back in the bottle.
Trump bought a Tesla to support Elon, today it was announced he is either going to sell or donate it.
Muskrat gifted Trump’s granddaughter Kai with a Tesla, wonder if she will return it.
I think she will, no one messes with her beloved Grandpa defaming his good name..
Elon was getting way too close to the Trump family, especially Kai.
And that’s the Elon trait in Trump that I so hate.
Grow up, Donald.
“Grow up, Donald.”
What in the heck does that mean? You say that to a man working tirelessly for the good of the country? To a man and his family who have suffered in many ways as they have worked for the good of our country?
Maybe it’s time for you to take a break.
You might use the time to consider what kind of a grown up you are.
If there’s interior surveillance in that vehicle, it needs to go. Elon has proven what he’s capable of.
Giving Kai a vehicle was inappropriate. She is 18 so her choice to keep it but mommy and daddy should have made it difficult for her not to say no thank you.
Daddy thrust her upon the world stage. He vicariously wants her to be a star. I think it’s vulgar.
Check the day/date. May 6th, not June 5th.
Those are phony tweets, guys.
Gullibility, it is a disease honest people are susceptible to. Liars, not so much.
Highly doubtful. These two men would not engage in that kind of prank, ever, imo. My guess it’s very real and Elon really lost his mind like PTrump said but I still give Elon some slack due to his autism issues. He probably did not mean to go as far as he did but could not control his meltdown adequately. Now the situation might be unfixable for awhile or maybe for good. Too bad because some very good things happened when those two were working together.
A reconciliation is required.
trump and Musk are the two greatest Americans of the 21st century.
Both are of huge historical significance.
Both are GENERALLY aligned on objectives …have had a spat on tactics /what is possible etc.
Before putting a downer on Elon Musk remember this…he bought and UNCENSORED Twitter.
And for THAT ALONE he did MANKIND a great service.
Looking at the really big picture here – We have tasked politicians to fix whats wrong with the government……..
Someone convince me that this will work.
Only We the People can fix this!!!🇺🇲
Eventually. Historically the tyrants don’t do well when the masses are fed up.
It won’t be pretty when it happens.
The left depends on it which is why all of their training is in who and how to hate. But it’s all fake so far.
On the other hand? I think we are turning a corner with this new “fatigue” movement. The funniest thing about this fatigue movement? It seems to have started with NORMAL black people fed up and tired of bad behavior of other black people because it affects THEM and the perception the public has of them. Imagine being a well adjusted middle class black guy (a house, a job, some kids) encountering a stranger hell bent on kneeling to him and begging apologies for a fictional history that didn’t quite happen the way it’s told. HOW UNCOMFORTABLE would that make you feel? So I’m not hearing any “that’s racist to say fatigue” yet… could me I just haven’t seen it yet. But it’s absolutely catching on among other groups and people and directed at pretty much every leftist social-shaming campaign out there.
In order for a politician to fix a problem, he’d have to resign and take up fishing alone in the back woods.
We the people are supposed to step up more to take our turns at the wheels of power. But the public is now convinced “you must be trained and experienced” (GROOMED) to qualify for public office.
We need to change that perception and in fact, we need to FLIP that perception.
And the next time you see someone donating a lot of money to charity? Ask them to donate to a candidate they trust and who isn’t a “professional politician.” And if you happen to be a retired but hard-working person who earned his way through life and now wants to give back? RUN FOR OFFICE! We need more of that.
Senate slow walks confirmations.

No recess appointments says all that we need to know.
SHOCKER /SSSSSSarc Those creeps.
Sometimes it is useful to stand on your head and look in a mirror, to view the world upside down and backwards. Sometimes, when you do this, the pattern of the psy op just JUMPS out. Perhaps the proxy war in Ukraine is not intended to bleed Russia, but to bleed the USA. The US hawks are unwittingly working toward weakening us, not weakening Russia. Why?
A militarily exhausted US would be much less likely to be able to prevent a certain Middle Eastern country from launching its own attack on Iran if it can’t persuade the US to do it, therefore leaving that country as THE dominant country in the region. So the ghosts in the US/UK IC machines: 1) flog the war in Ukraine to bleed the US, and 2) demand the US launch an attack on Iran using the same old “weeks away from a nuke” argument they have been using for, literally, decades. Both then leave the US militarily undersupplied and less able to oppose anthing that certain ME country decides to do.
Oh, and the Epstein files? Anyone who has paid attention for the past what, 10 years(?), knows which middle east intelligence group ran him. Release all the Epstein stuff and there will be pieces in it that can be connected up to show a picture. Can’t have that.
Let me guess, start w the letter M …
An argument would be that it does both. Uniparty wants both America and Russia to be so weak that they’d have to join the club. A nation that stands alone is a nation that can’t be controlled. In the back of the uniparty is China.
I think they like the idea of America becoming a service economy, with us swabbing out the latrine in the bus stop bathroom, while they journey through their magnificent life!
What? While they are still running the con with drugs, honey pots and videos?
“Oh, and the Epstein files?”
So many posters salivating over the so called Epstein files.
Why? There is nothing keeping the story alive except for unhealthy prurient innuendo.
It is all such a canard.
Wrong we aren’t salivating and the files exist. We want to know who is responsible. We want to make sure that whoever did this isn’t still doing this kind of thing today.
Some of us care about abuse of young girls as part of a scheme to be able to control how individuals in high places vote, for one.
You don’t care about that sort of thing, I realize that from your snotty remarks about people who do.

Norm Eisen’s Perfectly Legal Color Revolution Against Trump
“Moreover, Eisen’s ties to the judiciary raise further concerns. He has boasted of his close friendship with Chief Justice John Roberts, even recounting personal stays together in Europe including a week long stay at the ambassador’s residence in Prague, the optics are troubling. Roberts presided over the Trump impeachment trial in which Eisen served as counsel for the prosecution, and critics have noted that he refused to safeguard Trump’s due process rights during the proceedings. No witnesses were permitted to be cross-examined in the House phase, and Roberts allowed the Senate to proceed on terms many legal scholars deemed prejudicial. Some conservatives argue that Roberts’ failure to intervene stemmed not from constitutional restraint but from personal antipathy toward Trump, antipathy that Eisen himself has insinuated in public statements and no doubt in private meetings with Roberts. According to Eisen, both Roberts and even some Trump-appointed justices, including Amy Coney Barrett, “dislike Trump and want to block his administration.” At minimum, this relationship casts doubt on the impartiality of the process. At worst, it suggests a quiet collusion among elites, under the veneer of legality, to restrain an elected outsider.”

Why aren’t there any subpoenas and grand juries and indictments (not Congressional fluff subpoenas) flying over the transom in the other direction for the last 10 years?
Lock his ass up. Make something up and let him fight the charges like so many others .
Once he’s in custody I am sure anyone with a shred of credibility could find umpteen things he’s done that are firing squad worthy.
They can all GTH. The people chose him. Like him or not, Trump IS the president.
So I read the Breitbart Article about the Trump/Musk row.
I think Musk over played his card. Can you trust this guy for such comments?
On Thursday, the SpaceX boss briefly threatened to scrap his company’s Dragon spacecraft — vital for ferrying NASA astronauts to and from the International Space Station — after Trump suggested he could end Musk’s giant government contracts.
So Musk got dumped like a spoiled bad girlfriend.
“The president does not intend to speak to Musk today,” a senior White House official told AFP on condition of anonymity. A second official said it was “true” that Musk had requested a call.
Show that Musk failed to deliver on 1 T in waste and fraud, he is not doing to well.
Trump gave him a chance to be part of the team and really make a difference. He blew it.
Trump might be better to cut bait. Who know what information Musk was giving to the globalist or deep state. I would just give the Telsa to charity since it could monitor whoever has it.
https://www.breitbart.com/news/trump-has-no-plans-to-call-musk-white-house-says-after-feud/
Musk and Team have identified at least $200 Billion in waste, fraud, and abuse.
Outted USAID = CIA.
Outted USIP = CIA?
And much, much more.
They found what they did while dealing with activist judges, being prevented from access to government agencies that were not within the executive branch and was obstructed by those within the executive branch agencies and the republican lead congress.
And left DoD alone.
I’m sure this has been Musk’s modus operandi for his whole life. Eating his buggers and jumping around. No other child wanted to have anything to do with him.
“Fine, I’ll take my ball and go home! You would never have experienced seeing a ball like this if I hadn’t harangued my mom until she bought me one to make me shut up and go away and I could show it to you to make you jealous!”
When you cross the Rubicon there’s no turning back. Elon needs to apologize and go into rehab, the alleged drugs he’s taking are not helping.
him.
At the point of breakup with a malignant megalomaniac narcissist he could be dangerous.
John Wilkes Booth ego was a driving factor when he shot Lincoln, he wanted to as famous. He wondered why such a handsome great actor as himself wasn’t adored by everyone.
Trump personnel advisor Gor helped crash NASA candidate, Musk bromance
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14787485/sergio-gor-elon-musk-donald-trump-fued.html
Gor is MAGA, I’m okay with that.
Musk is late to the party and doesn’t really understand MAGA.
I am wary of all the Tech oligarchs and Musk is no exception, particularly since he went off the deep end in a very public way. President Trump got burned by the tech bro hot stove, he won’t forget.
Somebody posted something last night about somebody else in the White House being involved in this.
Here it is, Wethal posted about this at 9:34 pm June 5 (last night):
What if you don’t have to pick sides?
What if I told you Elon and Trump aren’t the cause of this?
What if I told you someone close to Trump is in the pocket of the defense primes?
What if I told you they want SpaceX gone, shipbuilding killed and all the big bill subsidies for themselves?
What if I told you THAT guy, some senior advisor, (not elon or Trump) is the problem.
What if I told you that if we uncover and eject THAT guy all will go back to normal.
This isn’t the time to bash Trump (or Elon) it’s the time to follow the money and smoke out whoever is selling all of us out.
I support Trump. I support Elon. I support finding the corrupt advisor who is stirring the pot.
Sundance…. an ex-cia officer on larry johnson live geopolitics telegram says in the next couple of months news will be coming out about miss lindsey graham receiving kickbacks from ukraine routed through lativa to his bank account. the doj is investigating it now.
STORIES HAVE BEEN Circling for YEARS about the Latvian ” Banking ” System
( they’re Like the Swiss ) –
https://www.lrt.lt/en/news-in-english/19/1237661/fincen-leaks-ukraine-s-powerful-who-shuffled-money-through-the-baltics
I seriously doubt Graham is the only U.S. senator getting kickbacks from Ukraine. Could that number be more than 50% of U.S. senators – BOTH parties?
We keep getting regular reports Ukraine has never received the billions in U.S. payments they were allocated by Congress. We have been looking in the wrong accounts.
Interesting piece on American politicians getting monies from other countries. Romney, Kerry, Biden, McCain, Pelosi, Schiff, Mueller & Clinton are tied to sketchy Ukraine dealsMitt Romney’s top adviser, Joseph Cofer Black, joined the board of the Ukraine energy firm, Burisma, while Hunter Biden was also serving on the board. Hunter Biden was taking a salary of $83,000 per month from Burisma, and was simultaneously engaged in a relationship with John Kerry’s stepson, Chris Heinz, and mobster Whitey Bulger’s nephew, in a private equity firm, that allegedly appeared to be laundering millions of dollars in foreign money from China & the Ukraine, through Latvia, and back to the US.
Nancy Pelosi’s son, Paul Pelosi Jr., is involved in oil importing from Ukraine and his company, Viscoil, is under investigation for securities fraud. And Nancy Pelosi appeared in a promotional video for the company! In 2015, Pelosi used the Air Force to fly her entire family to Ukraine at a cost of over $185,000. Nancy Pelosi’s legislative aide, Ivanna Voronovych, is from Ukraine and is connected to the Ukrainian Embassy, the Ukrainian military, the Ukrainian government and Ukrainian party life. Pelosi and Schiff are also both connected to a Ukrainian arms dealer.
https://www.freedomdefenseresourcecenter.com/romney-kerry-biden-mccain-pelosi-schiff-mueller-clinton-are-tied-to-sketchy-ukraine-deals/
Bingo – adviser, Joseph Cofer Black – I have been screaming that for years.
We need an Amendment to the Constitution that once and for all stops foreigners’ influence on not only our elected officials but for all who are working in our government. That would include a well thought-out and crafted restriction on American citizens and American businesses/entities who receive monies from foreign entities. Because money is fungible, any foreign funds or ties with foreign governments or entities of any kind must be transparently legal and devoid of benefits arising from any taxpayer dollars.
I know it would be complicated to put together the necessary restrictions and checkpoints while not abridging our/citizens’ inalienable rights but I firmly believe that is the only way to stop the country’s descent into the abyss. We feel it everyday as the ruling class no longer represents We the People.
Have always wondered if Lindsay was one of the RINOs getting kickbacks. Crazy but it’s not just Globalist Dems but RINOs raking in Ukraine kickbacks
Former CIA Officer: Senator Lindsey Graham Is Laundering Money From UkraineIn A Shocking Appearance On Stinchfield Tonight A Former CIA Officer Says The Department of Justice Is Investigating Lindsey Graham For His Ukraine Involvementhttps://open.substack.com/pub/carolinacourier/p/former-cia-officer-senator-lindsey?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
McStains and Cheney are top on the list too IMO
I expect there are many profiting from Ukraine, but not only Ukraine. The Pharmaceutical industry, Military Industrial Complex, Financial/Wall Street, you name it…..We just have a corrupt government and that’s really sad.
Would really like to think our Republic is better than this, but we are no better than so many other corrupt countries. We just do a better job hiding it with our corrupt media.
Maybe I’m just getting totally frustrated with the corruption and incompetence of. Our government.
JMHO
Unsurprising but this isn’t happening soon enough. Graham needs to know this and do the right thing by stepping down and letting McMaster post a new senator from S.Carolina in his place. Maybe they’ll go easy on him if he gets the F out of the way.
(It would save me from having to vote Democrat trying to replace him. The swamp won’t allow a primary challenger to him.)
this morning’s CNBC interview with House Speaker Johnson; 15 minutes:
I think it best to close the door and circle the wagons. No time for disloyal psycho drama.
Cur it off from the business q as well.
Thomas Massie was right?
Musk is a genius but that doesn’t mean he plays well with others, something Massie is familiar with, and CONgress is a large group of people with disparate ideas, questionable allegiances and morals.
If President Trump really was an authoritarian he would disband CONgress and rule in the way that pleased him.
That is not the government we have and President Trump is working within the framework of it though many are working outside the framework to stop him.
I really wish the brilliant Massie, given he’s been 13 years as a CONgressman, would figure out a way to achieve some of the goals of which he speaks. If you’re only a good idea man, perhaps you are not best as a politician. You actually have to effectuate changes by convincing and working with others.
Only if the definition of genius is having other people do the work and fund it in part with taxpayers money….then yeah, he’s a genius.
Facilitating others who do the actual inventing and creating –guess that is a genius too.
Sometimes I see something that looks good but I can’t access the article because of a paywall or whatever.

“Bank account records show Senator Lindsey Graham is laundering money from the Ukraine war back into his personal bank accounts
CIA Officer says it’s “significant amounts of money” being laundered back to Senator Lindsey Graham
“Let me say something about Senator Graham. There will be news coming out in the next couple of months about how he has profited financially off of money that came out of Ukraine, laundered through Latvia and made it way into his bank account. And now we’re talking significant amounts of money. Department of justice is looking at it.
Those are serious allegations leveled by CIA officer, former CIA officer Larry Johnson.“”

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer war monger.
Put the screws to Miss Lindsay and he’ll spill on the other participants he knows.
Spot on friend, see my comment that piggybacks yours.
“In a couple of months”…. Howsabout a couple minutes?
Uncle Sugarbritches will be happier in lockup. It’s raining men..
I remember in the days of yore reading about Senator Flimsy laundering monies through Franklin Templeton way back before Burisma became a thing, when I first stumbled onto the Treehouse..
Surely, if they’ve got him, they have a door into P. Pelosi Jr. and Tagg Romney as well as J . Cofer Black..
Whut??? I am shocked. Totally, completely, GOBSMACKED…
I imagine that certain intel agencies also have plenty of compromat on Ms. Graham.
Videos from bath houses, for example.
Elon Musks father speaks about his sons feud with Trump.
“”When people have been through a great deal of stress… eventually people reach a point where they lash out,” Errol Musk said.

I do too.

Democrats trying to figure out whose side to be on
Donald Trump, Republican Party Savior
by Mike “Mish” Shedlock
May 10, 2016
https://mishtalk.com/economics/donald-trump-republican-party-savior/
Those who got Donald Trump totally wrong in the nomination process, still have not figured out why.
Thus, it’s no surprise they are still wrong now.
I propose, that instead of being the demise of the Republican party, Donald Trump will be its savior.
[big snip]
In retrospect, Donald Trump is the “candidate from hell”.
He will beat Clinton: Her Hell.
He is the undoing of the neocon warmongers (of which Hillary is one): Their Hell.
In doing so, Trump will save the Republican party from itself. Even if Trump, loses, purging the party of the neocons and the evangelicals is a good thing.
———–
You can see from that he is NOT anti-Trump and his analysis below is simply realistic.
Zero Hedge Podcast: Rob Bernstein Interviews Mike “Mish” Shedlock

0:00 – Introduction to the Zero Hedge podcast and guest Mike Shedlock, economics blogger at mishtalk.com.
6:04 – China’s control over rare earth minerals and the impact of export restrictions on U.S. industries.
12:04 – Explanation of the trade court ruling against Trump’s tariffs and why it was legally sound.
18:05 – Impact of unpredictable tariff policies on business planning and supply chain disruptions.
30:06 – Contradictory goals of Trump’s tariff policies: raising revenue, bringing jobs back, and lowering inflation.
36:03 – National security concerns for rare earths and why subsidies, not tariffs, may be needed.

Is Mish still insistent that self-driving semi-truck technology will be all over the highways by 2022?
So Musk is on ketamine, maybe he should check out Methylene Blue. RFK is on it.
Methylene Blue isn’t meth.
Lots of fitness types use it.
It isn’t a toy, for sure. It does cause the release of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine simultaneously and if used too often can hijack mitochondrial function (according to the Death Management crowd).
So far, it’s been pretty good to me although I use it sparingly. It “fixed” my 46 year old eyesight.. I no longer need readers..
Funny, I used it for decades in the shop to stain metal for transferring blueprint dimensions prior to machining. Never thought about ingesting it. Whatever I used had pretty potent vapors. Get high off that stuff.
This is USP medical grade. No vapors.
How do you take it? I purchased some and have yet to use it.
5 drops into a 16 oz glass of water. That’s 5 individual drops, not droppers full. It can make some folks headache-y or dizzy.
Do not take it if you take any kind of anti depressants. Be sure to take a refrigerated probiotic about 4 hours afterward. It can kill beneficial bacteria in your gut similar to an antibiotic, I have found.
It seems like something I could do about weekly, until some sort of unreported side effects take it off the market ..

Is this a prescription drug or an OTC product?
If the latter, is it sold in retail stores or only on-line?

Would have posted this on Open Thread but site constantly refreshes and fails to load. IPad/ Brave Some days no problem.
Also on Presidential Page when I move from page 3 to page 2, audio plays of Winston Churchill re: WW2. Windows desktop/Brave. Can’t find where to stop it nor figure out where in source code it is. (Doesn’t happen on the iPad).
Anybody else have these problems? Guess I need to vpn but would like to understand what is going on. Thx for your time, know I’m out of order here but seems like something doesn’t want me on CTH today.
I had the Churchill audio thing on my iPad earlier, but it’s stopped now. Like you, I couldn’t figure out where it came from or how to stop it. 🤷♀️
Thx. Weird.
Happened to me too. Took a bit to find and stop it. I’m noticing it starts playing every time you reload page 2.
Look in your browser settings for AUTOPLAY and toggle it so that it is off.
Thx Ovserver for giving me a word to search on ‘autoplay’. Here’s what I found. Will keep fiddling with site specific settings as mentioned … and continue hunting but at least it’s not the 👀… haha
As of June 2025, users are still seeking a straightforward method to disable autoplay on the Brave browser for iPadOS/iOS. Discussions indicate that while some users have managed to disable autoplay through site-specific settings, a global setting to disable autoplay across all sites remains elusive
I just muted the audio in the browser tab. Didn’t look for the video. However, once finding it, went to DailyMotion and am currently downloading the whole 26 part series. Cool, just completed. A bit over 8 gigs in total.
Muting no problem.
Daily as I’ve posted before I do what I call Treadmill Bible Time. I spend 30 to 60 minutes doing reading along as I listen to Bible devotions/plans. One plan I do daily is a yearly plan “The Bible with Nicky & Pippa Gumble” on YouVersion. Last night I was really praying hard for what had just happened between Elon & Trump, along with pleading for some time of decent resolution.
Do believe at times some words to ponder about what is happening come in my Bible readings. Following is part of the devotional regarding Proverbs which make me wonder about Elion’s mudslinging of Trump.
“The ‘fool’ in the book of Proverbs does not mean someone lacking intelligence. Rather it means the rebel (especially against God and the laws of decency and justice): ‘the mocker… the foolish… the wicked… the faithless’ come to a sticky end Their path ends in death.’
Proverbs 14:5-8 NIV
5 An honest witness does not deceive,
but a false witness pours out lies.
6 The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none,
but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.
7 Stay away from a fool,
for you will not find knowledge on their lips.
8 The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways,
but the folly of fools is deception.
ABC new reports Abrego Garcia on his way back to US he will face federal charges
of human traffiking..an indictment might be unsealed..
Not liking this decision—This means America will most likely have more MS-13 gang members using similar pathways, yet still being actively involved in MS-13 activities.
After twelve years of correctional education & ministry, I discovered on disappointing reality with most gang members. In my interviews as a Special Education teacher, I found that over 75% of incarcerated gang members planned on going back to their gang life when released. Most incarcerated gang members felt that gang life of selling drugs, robbery and other things gave them a better life & opportunities over any other type of job! After all, their gang was essentially their family.
It’s the DOJ’s way to bow to the criminal judges and lawfare.
We will never get one illegal out of this country and the second Trump is gone they will open the borders permanently. They want the US to cease to exist.
We aren’t voting ourselves out of this. I’m not sure there’s a reason to vote at this point.
IMO, keep voting, keep prepping, keep training and stay frosty. Anytime it gets quiet, and it’s quiet right now where I live, I get on alert footing. The invasion forces are already here. What remains is orders. Beware of smiling strangers.
I go back and forth on giving up entirely and not voting for GOP – i.e., let the Dems take over and ruin this Country quickly.
I’d rather face a quick change that has a chance of being fixed in my lifetime, than continue to be part of a slow boiled and slowly dying nation.
Some of the RINOs out there are better then a Globalist liberal at times, but voting Republican does not assure one of a American Conservative Patriot.
When Trump came to Rapid City I held my ground and stayed away, even though I REALLY wanted to go.
There was a charge that was going into the state GOP’s pocket. Our state GOP, and ALL our DC Reps been and are very Anti-Trump until it is convenient for them or Trump is POTUS.
Yes, but many do not care if the Republicans lose control of the House or Senate. They are part of the Establishment UniParty and if they are established incumbents they will probably win. Like Graham-an open primary will probably insure he is nominated once again and then win once again. Why would you ever have an Open Primary to select your candidate-stupid or corrupt-I vote corrupt politics.
Where he will be acquitted of all charges and be free to file civil lawsuits against everyone who arrested him. Resulting in millions of dollars in judgments and a fabulous mansion.
Already in the news that his lawyer has said they are bring lawsuits against the administration.

At Least 20 Republican Senators Want Changes to One Big Beautiful Bill

Final Thoughts
Despite all the work I put into these reports, all of the BLS monthly data is total garbage.
I do the best with BLS data that I can, or anyone can.
The quarterly QCEW and Business Employment (BED) reports represent a 96 percent sample. But those reports lag by about 5 months.
As expected, the latest QCEW report does not confirm these numbers. I will cover that separately.

One thing that has become evident over the past 24 hours is how wise it was for Trump to create and remain committed to his own social media platform, because you never know what might happen.

On Brave just had the speech come up. Thanks for mentioning or I would not have figured out where it was coming from.
Excerpt:
Former DC Metropolitan Police Department Lieutenant Shane Lamond has been sentenced to 18 months in prison by crooked activist Judge Amy Berman Jackson for speaking to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio in an attempt to prevent clashes between his gro and Antifa militants
Gatewaypundit.com
I hope Ed Martin reviews this. It stinks.
Tarrio, who attended Lamond’s sentencing Friday, has accused the DOJ of charging Lamond only after he was added to a list of potential witnesses for the Proud Boy’s Capitol riot trial. He called on President Donald Trump to grant a pardon.
“I think the only method of correction is a pardon from the president of the United States,” Tarrio said.
Lamond’s defense attorney, Mark E. Schamel, described his client as a dedicated officer navigating an unprecedented national security landscape and said Lamond never intended to interfere with justice.
Jackson granted a request for Lamond to self-surrender sometime on or after Aug. 1, and to recommend his placement at a low-security camp at FCI Cumberland in Maryland.

“Kash Patel says his house just got swatted”
https://x.com/TheChiefNerd/status/1931048195062386964
As if they wouldn’t know the FBI director lived there.
NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel says there’s no Epstein Island video showing elites committing crimes—and if there were, “you’d see it.”
Joe Rogan asked the question millions have been screaming for years: “Is there video from the island?”
Kash’s answer? Blunt.
“Not of what you want… If I had it, I’d be the first guy to bring this case hard and fast.”
He claims they’ve reviewed everything under lawful access.
They’ve combed through the files. And what they have, he says, is… NOTHING
Not the kind of bombshell the public has imagined. No smoking gun. No list. No footage of the world’s powerful doing the unspeakable.
And for those who suspect a coverup, Kash insists he’s not the one.
“I got here 100 days ago. I can’t be held to account for 20 years of failures.”
He says some tapes may never have existed.
Others may have been destroyed.
if you’re hoping the FBI has an ace up its sleeve, the message is clear: Don’t hold your breath.
Bullsh!t
Bondi said she saw them.
I don’t want tapes, I want to know who he was working for/with.
“I’m not going to victimize women again” – prosecute the perps, the identity of the victims can remain confidential, sealed by court.
There’s another clip where he says there’s “no access points into places like this in the detention center”. Oh you think you’re so clever, Patel. Guards have access. So do prisoners. In fact his cellmate, the muscle-bound cop in prison for multiple murders, Nicholas Tartaglione, had access. He could have done it, as could one of the guards.
He also says “don’t you think I’d tell you?” – as a matter of fact no I don’t. I’d bet if it were deemed to damage international relations it would be suppressed. For example implicating an English royal would be suppressed.
The more he gives these crafty answers the worse it gets.
Tartaglione was sentenced June 2024 for his 2016 crimes. Epstein died 2019. Tartaglione was found guilty of 11 counts of murder, four counts of kidnapping resulting in death, one count of kidnapping conspiracy, and one count of narcotics conspiracy
https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/former-police-officer-sentenced-four-consecutive-life-sentences-2016-quadruple-murder
He received four consecutive life sentences. He got off easy.
Multiple charges carry a death sentence – https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.475348/gov.uscourts.nysd.475348.23.0.pdf
He’s a monster. And he’s still alive. Maybe he made a certain problem disappear.
The “Maryland Dad” is on his way back to face Federal charges out of TN.
I really don’t understand what the point is. Why not leave him in Salvador to rot?
This is completely unacceptable.
This guy will be brought back to the US where he will stand trial and possibly be acquitted. Maybe not, but it’s a possible outcome.
For sure, we will see all the lefty liberal groups and media rally to his attention, will increase his fame and he will be the anti-Trump poster hero once again. If he is able to achieve acquittal, he could then sue our government, possibly win and even retire wealthy.
ALL of this will be paid for by you and me, the taxpayers. Even the cost of the return plane flight is too much for me to accept.
Why is the leadership of our Country taking this chance? I don’t think this would be possible unless the State Department green lit his re-entry. So, in my guess, the Trump admin is ok with this new development.
OR… the other option would be to leave him in El Salvador where the media and Democrats had already forgotten him.
If this is winning, I don’t want it anymore.
Exactly. And the charges are filed in Tennessee, not the swamp.
Agreed – I did not see the other side.
I hope that this goes the way that you have pointed out. IMO, makes more sense of why our State Dept would allow this to happen.
Then again, should the unthinkable happen and the jury is hung or finds him innocent, that would suck.
Just a lot of taxpayer money being spent and a risk that doesn’t need to be taken, IMO.
MAHA vs reality. Some insight.
FTA
Having worked in government as a political adviser, I know how hard it is to shift systems that are not only slow and bureaucratic but deeply enmeshed with commercial interests. And no sector is more heavily invested in mRNA than biotech.
This isn’t just about Covid anymore. The pharmaceutical industry has poured billions into mRNA vaccines for RSV, flu, HIV, cancer, and more. Entire product pipelines are now staked on the assumption that the technology is here to stay.
Pulling the plug wouldn’t just alter public health policy—it would tank portfolios, gut R&D budgets, and unleash a political and financial firestorm from some of the most powerful corporate interests on earth.
That’s the kind of pressure Prasad is under now. That’s the reality Kennedy’s team has stepped into.
This is no longer science versus ideology. It’s science versus entrenched industry power.
And many are beginning to worry we’re watching the same playbook unfold—just with better branding.
That’s not what MAHA supporters or vaccine-injured families were hoping for. They’re not asking for tweaks. They want the shots gone. Not revised. Not updated—just gone.
But political reality rarely keeps pace with public demand. Even the most determined reformers can’t move faster than the machinery they’re trying to dismantle.
So where does that leave us?
Facing the hardest task of all—staying in the fight.
Progress may feel glacial, but it is underway.
The CDC has removed routine Covid-19 vaccine recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women. Prasad’s new framework has halted low-risk approvals unless backed by RCTs.
Yes, the mRNA platform is still alive—and still fiercely protected—but reform was never going to be easy. And it was never going to come all at once.
https://brownstone.org/articles/covid-19-vaccine-reform-is-moving-slower-than-many-had-hoped/
So a few more people take the shots and die…
They got right on Fruit Loops and fluoride.
Oh and soda bought with SNAP.
Just means that people will need to do more of their own research on any big harma product. Not that anyone shouldn’t already be doing that mind you.
Best to avoid the tentacles of big harma anyway you can as their business model is all about sick care and not cures.
Holistic medicine, diet, certain exercise routines, meditation, prayer etc. Lots of options aside from just taking pills for the rest of your life.
Starve the beast.
Absolutely correct.
Nineteen republican senators voted for Biden’s Green New Deal bill, yes that’s (19), if you like numbers better.
Now almost that number have problems with Trump’s bill? I’m not saying the thing isn’t full of corruption and payoffs because it likely is, but please, now you find your moral compass? I’m not sure anyone has actually read the bill anyway. Do they do that any longer in DC, I mean read bills before voting on them?
Suddenly these butt-plugs are worried about the national debt? Really? Trump is gonna get nothing out of his GOP. Nothing.
Oh, RINO’s gonna RINO.
13 House R’s appeal to the Senate to restore the “climate credit” bull dookey.

Bondi just brought Abrego back from El Salvador. WHAT A DUMB F****ING MOVE!
Bondi seems to be losing faith with many many Trump supporters including me. She has not followed through on a lot of Trump’s agenda or her promises.
Slow move on many agenda items Trump supporters were looking for.
Okay, so throw her out and tell her successor that he/she must “perp walk” two dozen people in her first two days. If that doesn’t happen at least within one week, throw them out also.
Happy now?
You are 100% correct.
Did you even read why?
The DOJ is opening a case involving trafficking/pedophilia. Who knows who else might get uncovered? It now makes sense why the democrats tried so hard to “save” this one illegal alien. They did not want this guy talking.

They are DOXING ICE agents–along with posting death threats against ICE agents on social media. Reason ICE agents wearing masks.
Attacks against ICE agents is up 400% plus.
Jefferies has said he is going to dox them all.
Biggest question is will he face the consequences.
Hakeem Jeffries just made a BIG MISTAKE.
The Democrats ARE INSANE.
This (fighting ICE everyway that they can) and supporting Free Palestine (after the HAMAS slaughter of innocent Israelis at an outdoor concert and in their homes on October 7th, 2023) PROVES how INSANE the Democrat Party has become.
JD Vance
@JDVance
There are many lies the corporate media tells about President Trump. One of the most glaring is that he’s impulsive or short-tempered.
Anyone who has seen him operate under pressure knows that’s ridiculous.
It’s (maybe) the single biggest disconnect between fake media perception and reality.

Palmer Luckey posted this link to a new Executive Order and said:
