@wallstreetcappers Oh I agree about Powell. Trump's mouth mostly likely will backfire on him as I see Powell digging his heels in. That's Donald. But I'm not giving dems any free pass because there was no ZIRP. Since the COVID overspending spree the flood gates remained open. Biden's yearly budget proposals were clearly overbudget with no plan, no matter how faulty, to even attempt to balance. Seems like both parties try to buy the next election's vote with fed spending and the parties have no common direction. If our country was a ship dems want to sail East and Repubs West. And when dems have the opportunity to "adjust" course they would rather produce a dead stop. (314 filibusters in Trump's 1st term) All these course reversals is costing money for the feds and private sector. As far as Trump as his "Drill baby, drill" I interpret it as I want oil prices as low as we can get and want self reliance. Biden on the other hand promised young girls he was going to "end fossil fuel". And now people brag about Biden era pumping the most oil in history. I'll take Trump.

@wallstreetcappers Our yearly deficits of $1.8t, $1.7t, and $1.4t the last three years and only now, again, it's an issue like in 2018. How partisan. Let's wait three years and revisit this conversation. |

Most all work places require tips to be reported and often are split evenly between employees. 25 grand sounds about right. Those getting $2000 a night should be paying taxes, IMO. The $12,500 limit for OT seems low, that should be closer to 20 grand. But I do laugh everytime I hear "it costs this much over a decade". Why not a hundred years. |

@THEMUGG I find it funny when folks quote "year to date" numbers after Trump has been in office only 5 months. And really funny when you look it up and find the very worst was last year. During the current Trump administration 5000 of that 89,000 manufacturing sector was lost. The other 84,000 was during Biden's watch. Year 2024 saw 105,000 jobs lost in manufacturing. Same with your motor vehicle manufacturing data going back year to date. And MSNBC posted the American job growth lowest in 15 years. Guess they forgot about COVID 2020 year and then applauded Biden when those jobs returned and now (actually last summer) that return has reached the end. |

WHEN IT'S TRUMP; Moss said that a pair of provisions of federal immigration law do not provide "the president with the unilateral authority to limit the rights of aliens present in the United States to apply for asylum."Moss said that a pair of provisions of federal immigration law do not provide "the president with the unilateral authority to limit the rights of aliens present in the United States to apply for asylum."
WHEN IT'S BIDEN; Sept 30th, 2024 The Biden administration said Monday it is making asylum restrictions at the southern border even tougher, as it’s increasingly eager to show voters uneasy over immigration that it is taking a hard stance on border security.

They think ICE raids are targeting the wrong people. Trump's first term ended with a 336,000 asylum claim backlog. Trump's first term had about 3.4 million asylum applications. So 90% of applications processed. Biden's term ended with 3,600,000 asylum claim backlog. Biden's term had 8.9 million asylum applications. 40% of applications processed. If you want links to this data I can provide them on request. Try again. |

Soon The Big Beautiful Bill will get passed and more of my money will stay in my pocket. Can't wait to hit Vegas this fall and know all my tips will stay in the pockets of hard working servers! Wish I was young again as I would apply for a position in LAPD. Can you imagine all the overtime they get with no Federal taxes?!! But then again how much do you wanna bet Newscum and dems will double state tax on workers overtime? Yeah, forget it, they'll ruin it for sure. |

You act like Trump pushed Iran to negotiate with Russia. Iranian drones have killed many Ukrainians already, Russia and Iran have been "negotiating" for many years now. |

Long term??? TIMES UP.

In February of 2021, right after Biden took office, Iran blocked inspectors from inperson inspections and retreiving memory from installed recording devices. |

A "Spidy Senses" point of view on Neb vs Cinci. Without tearing deep into both rosters the 1st inclination is; 1 Oooooo, grab that -6.5 before it gets to 7 or more. Then the second inclination; 2. Wait a minute, it's almost July 1 and it's still at -6.5 (DK) Seems a line sitting at -6.5 is begging for fav play. Not that the books get it right all the time but it's not moving yet.

One Google search; The Cato institute advocates for.......open borders. Biden's border calmed down 40% during election year when he finally clamped down on asylum seekers after saying for years there was nothing he could do. Voters saw through the lie and elected Trump. In May 8725 total border encounters, a 93% decrease from May of 2024. Spin it anyway you can. |

Should have said "are you" not "you are" stated above. Why did Iran tip off their feeble attack on US base in Qatar? My question is; Why hasn't most of mainstream media report that Iran tipped off their attack?? And again it's obvious, they had an agreement with Trump. |
