Oh hi 👋🏼 Here for the news, local thru global; journalists; thought leaders; thinkers; collaborators; fact based honesty. Retired from a career in print media. From paper, film and metal through photography, prepress, pixels, desktop publishing to digital.
Trump #MAGA economy? Oil, energy, data, big corporations earning$ are surging "bigly", as he would say. America's cost of living is crushing easily 70% of households. Most Americans have to make tough choices everyday. Employment participation rate is nasty. No jobs. www.bls.gov/charts/employment...
Flip flop flam gaslighting #PsychoInChief! First on his scam fraud 'Truth' Social 'media' he claims credit for oil companies massive profits. Then this👇🏽 Trump says Exxon and Chevron made 'too much money' off high oil prices during Iran conflict: 'I don't like it' www.cnbc.com/2026/08/03/trump...
Sure enough! Trump (delusional egomaniac with a brainwashed cult mob of 30 million or so) has a gaslighting hissy-fit aimed at his hand-picked 'U.S. Prosecutor' Jeanine Pirro. Trump blasts Pirro after she refutes his claim that Reflecting Pool was damaged by vandals apnews.com/article/pirro-trum...
Wonderful! This image by Andrew Harnik won for Excellence in Presidential News Coverage by Visual Journalists. The Photo of Trump Standing 'Carelessly' as a Guest Collapsed Just Won Its Photographer a Top Prize www.ibtimes.co.uk/award-winni...
Nasty food inflation. Many factors make it a 'perfect storm'. It will certainly drive midterm voting decisions. Clearly, Trump makes it worse. Yet, will lie profusely. Americans rewire their grocery shopping routines while digesting the biggest price jump in 50 years apnews.com/article/grocery-sh..
Check out the UK compared to USA and individual US States on economic, healthcare, life expectancy, etc. US vs UK Which Economy Gives Best Living Standards? www.economicshelp.org/blog/22...
True! Very well said. In a nutshell, completely accurate. They span many pathological dimensions of arrogance, cruelty and incompetence. Ossoff "This is the cruelest & most arrogant group of people who ever ascended to high office - their cruelty & arrogance are only matched by their incompetence."
Cruelty is the Point. Trauma is the Intent. Submission is the Goal. Trump administration revives rule that could deny green cards to immigrants who use public benefits apnews.com/article/immigrants...
Many places are as bad as it gets! The whole Great Lakes region, north and south, reaching into the Northeast USA is blanketed in a dangerous and hazardous smoke emergency from wildfires in Canada and Minnesota. Check air quality. Protect yourself. Stay inside. Mask-up outside.
In case you were wondering… Shipping of oil, fertilizer, etc via the Strait of Hormuz is has declined rapidly. Again. Expect economic stress and inflation to accelerate as a result. Source: Yahoo Finance News finance.yahoo.com/markets/liv...
Over half of all Americans have been getting utterly screwed, extorted and oppressed by the “trickle down” oligarchy con. FOR DECADES !! Spend some time viewing the data with this Federal Reserve interactive chart. Trump is just nails in USA coffin. www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/...
Here's the St Louis FED's tracking of USA Net Exports of Goods and Services. 2/2 fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NE...
And now… #SupremeArsehole #PsychoInChief starts Wednesday by ratcheting up his abusive-destructive bully-baby-man hissy-fit lashing out with rage and "hate". Markets drop, oil rises, Trump says Iran ceasefire is over; Trump wants all trade with Spain "cut off". *Remember. He always gets worse.
Bingo! A decades long useful malignant narcissist psychopath weaponized handling operation. Photo of Trump meeting with Russian diplomats/agents in early 2017. Taken and released by Russian agents/diplomats. Meme text added after it was published.
Also… I find it seriously creepy tellingly disturbing 🤮 that Trump now seems to have a craving for young children among his Oval Office loyal staged for the media audience events.
True! I’m surprised that is wasn’t covered much it the news at all!!
Another chart in this follow-up story. Labor force participation rate falls to lowest in 50 years, outside of Covid era www.cnbc.com/2026/07/02/j...
And… Check out this chart from a few days ago of historical stock market peaks back to 1964. The current peak is looking among the worst. Just waiting for the crash?? Will the bubble bust this year? Next? Continue to be pumped up by gaslighting and crony capitalism? To one of the worst ever?
Look'n at jobs chart since 2022… Trump's economy sucks! This data is ugly: "Household employment plummeted during the month, with 507,000 fewer people reported at work." U.S. job creation cools in June with payrolls growth of just 57,000; unemployment rate at 4.2% www.cnbc.com/2026/07/02/jobs-...
Totally Hilteresque Nazi-fascist signaling. The Trump regime is saturated with it. It’s like Trump himself is sick gaslighting mutant rebirth from hell. Ask Satan and Putin, they know.
#NoKings!! Especially, the extremely toxic malignant incompetent abusive gaslighting corrupt cult mob boss egomaniac assaulter Trump version. America split from monarchy 250 years ago. Trump's presidency is testing how far it's come apnews.com/article/america-25...
The U.S. Judges continue to check and block Trump abuse. While the "unitary executive" far right MAGA Justices on the Supreme Court continue to enable #PsychoInChief abuse. I bet the SCOTUS Trump toadies completely reverse their all powerful POTUS stance with the next Democratic President.
#HappySolstice ! #WildStrawberries from the north woods. They're about 3/8" in diameter.
Yes. It’s both. Most probably rapidly accelerating narcissistic collapse. He never had any king of an intellect. No historical or empathic perspective at all. Just hissy-fit bully-bluster gaslighting-abuse. Here 👇🏽 he gaslights today using a poll the was closed before anyone saw him sign or read it.
Here’s Apple Weather app. In the end, Mother Nature will have her way. I hope they remembered to make sure that octagon infrastructure was properly grounded. It’s an attractive lighting rod for kinetic natural energy.
Seems the Swiss, and Europe overwhelmingly I'm sure, see the "Axis of Evil" global authoritarian abuse dynamic clearly. It's Trump, Putin, and Xi. Read the photo caption in alt text.👇🏽
So… #MAGA is NOT working! In spite of Trump's gaslighting, lies, B.S., or "deals". Or his vanity decorating, construction, and signage products. Certainly not his graft and corruption. AP-NORC America 250 Poll Only a third believe the American Dream still exists. apnorc.org/projects/ap-norc-a...
