The point is MAGA is OK with gross exaggerations like their dear leader is. All from the same pod.

The Fed Reserve Board is. Can't help the other was tagged long. What's your source that Trump's tariffs increased jobs?
You are correct: I think you missed my sarcasm... and my desire to have the Dems do the wrong thing.
Joe kept China, Russia and Hamas in check.
Russia had their army embarrassed and sent back with tails tucked between their legs.
Trump is handing Ukraine over now on a F'ing silver platter to his boss man.
China is threatening war and telling Trump to kiss their ass.
Hamas was destroyed before Trump set foot in the oval office.
Trump is a clown that gets ZERO respect from the world.
I misunderstood and thought you were being sarcastic. I was playing along.
They became "the good guys" when our politicians invested in them for money laundering and chemical weapons. Most people just didn't know it yet. You picked one of several points where the media blitz happened. As good as any
I just want to know when we get the Helicarriers
They're asking for 11.6 billion (worth every penny) for the next development phase. Just by going on history, if they DO actually have a functional prototype (and if, as they say, the AI is mostly finished, then you're probably looking at 2033/34 OR about the time China finishes it's 5th generation answer to the F-22 🤣
I know they want to integrate "loyal wingman drones" into existing airframes before the NGAD is finished though.
Ok. I grossly exaggerated when I said Trump was the most famous person in the world because you think 3 people out of the billions on the planet are more famous.
You're completely clueless. Dangerously so.
"Retaliatory measures against bourbon harm these markets and jeopardize growth for years to come, including the unjust and disproportionate removal of American spirits from retail shelves and prohibition on new purchases of alcohol from American companies," Gregory said.
Spirit industry leaders release statements after Trump admin tariffs go into effect
The Kentucky Distillers' Association call bourbon "a great American success story."

Kentucky's bourbon makers are up in arms about Canada yanking their bottles off shelves
In 2023, Kentucky exported $43 million of whiskey to Canada — and the state imported $40.3 million of the liquor from Canada.

Below is a nearly complete transcript of Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s remarks this morning at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston.
In addition to Trump being a huge upgrade over Biden, Chris Wright is a huge, huge upgrade over Biden Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. Enjoy:

Wind and solar…
Today supply roughly 3% of global primary energy. You often hear larger numbers quoted, but that is because of a thermal equivalent scale-up. I don't believe that scale-up is justified, hence I stick with the actual energy produced. Everywhere wind and solar penetration have increased significantly, prices on the grid went up and stability of the grid went down.
Is this pathway really going to put natural gas in the rearview mirror?
Nitrogen fertilizer synthesized from natural gas is responsible for fully half of global food production. Natural gas is also the largest source of home heating in the United States. It is central to the rapidly growing petrochemical industry and the largest supplier of processed heat for manufacturing steel, cement, countless metals, gypsum, semiconductors, polysilicon, and thousands of other materials.
Oh yes, and natural gas is also responsible for 43% of US electricity.
Beyond the obvious scale and cost problems, there is simply no physical way that wind, solar and batteries could replace the myriad uses of natural gas. I haven't even mentioned oil or coal yet. I spent my whole career as an entrepreneur and student of energy. I have worked on nuclear, solar, oil, geothermal and natural gas. I was actively involved working in four of these energy technologies just a few weeks ago when I got my new job.
My new job rightfully necessitated that I depart and completely divest from all of my ventures in the energy business. I even resigned from my long-term board position with a free market environmental organization. But my passion for bettering human lives via improved access to energy is unwavering.
Recently, I've been called a climate denier or climate skeptic. This is simply wrong. I am a climate realist.
I've been studying, speaking, and writing about climate change for over 20 years. The Trump administration will treat climate change for what it is: a global physical phenomenon that is a side effect of building the modern world. We have indeed raised global atmospheric CO2 concentration by 50% in the process of more than doubling human life expectancy, lifting millions of the world's, lifting almost all of the world's citizens out of grinding poverty, launching modern medicine, telecommunications, planes, trains, and automobiles, too.
Everything in life involves trade-offs. Everything. Responses to climate change bring their own set of trade-offs. The Trump administration will end the Biden administration's irrational quasi-religious policies on climate change that imposed endless sacrifices on our citizens.
Running the math on what might have been the benefits from these policies yields perhaps only a few hundredths of a degree reduction in global temperatures in the year 2100. The Trump administration intends to be much more scientific and mathematically literate. The previous administration's climate policies have been impoverishing to our citizens, economically destructive to our businesses, and politically polarizing.
The cure was far more destructive than the disease.
There are no winners in that world, except for politicians and rapidly growing interest groups. The only interest group that we are concerned with is the American people. Our focus will be steadfast on the American people and our allies abroad.
Let's do a quick survey of energy access today. Roughly one billion people live lives remotely recognizable to us in this room. We wear fancy clothes, mostly made out of hydrocarbons. We travel in motorized transport. The extra lucky of us fly across the world to attend conferences. We heat our homes in winter, cool them in summer, store myriad foods in our freezers and refrigerators, and have light, communications and entertainment at the flip of a switch.
Pretty awesome.
This lifestyle requires an average of 13 barrels of oil per person per year. What about the other seven billion people? They want what we have. The other seven billion people, on average, consume only three barrels of oil per person per year versus our 13. Africans average less than one barrel.
We need more energy. Lots more energy. That much should be obvious.
Over half of people today are wearing hand-washed clothes. They have yet to realize the time-saving and women-liberating joys of a washing machine.
We need more energy.
Over two million people today cook their daily meals and heat their homes burning wood. The indoor air pollution from this activity alone is estimated to kill over two million people annually.
We need more modern energy.
Two million readily preventable deaths. Where is the COP conference for this far more urgent global challenge?
Back in our own country, over 20% of Americans struggle to pay their energy bills and roughly 10% have received the utility disconnection notice in the last 12 months. Think about that for a moment. The last administration recklessly pursued policies that were certain to drive up electricity prices, knowing full well that millions of additional Americans would have to look in their kids' eyes and tell them that their lights might be going out. That sends a chill down my spine.
The expensive energy or climate policies that have been in vogue among the Left in wealthy Western nations have taken a heavy toll on their citizens. Making energy more expensive has impoverished citizens and displaced energy-intensive manufacturing along with the well-paying blue collar jobs.
Expensive energy policies do not reduce demand for energy intensive materials, they simply move where those products are produced and therefore who benefits from their production. China now consumes nearly three times as much energy in manufacturing than the United States. Three times.
We have outsourced far too much manufacturing and our allies in Europe have gone much further in this destructive direction. I find it sad and a bit
ironic, that the once mighty steel and petrochemical industries of the United Kingdom have been displaced to Asia where the same products will be produced with higher greenhouse gas emissions, then loaded on a diesel-powered ship back to the United Kingdom. The net result is higher prices and fewer jobs for UK citizens, higher global greenhouse gas emissions, and all of this is termed a climate policy.
President Trump was elected to bring back common sense to Washington, DC. Let me hit a few of the highlights of America's common sense pivot in energy.
No more all-of-government approach to making energy more expensive, less reliable and making it nearly impossible to build large scale things in our country. We are unabashedly pursuing a policy of more American energy production and infrastructure, not less. Our goal is to re-industrialize America, not de-industrialize America.
President Trump immediately ended the pause on LNG export permits. Today, I can announce our fourth action in this regard, approving the Delfin Offshore Louisiana LNG export terminal.
This is in addition to previous actions on the Commonwealth and Golden Pass LNG projects, and our actions to enable the bunkering of LNG for powering tanker ships. Hard to believe there was opposition to these policies that so clearly benefit Americans, our allies, and our environment.

(continued)
We are working to launch the long-awaited American nuclear renaissance, fission and fusion. The same goes for next generation geothermal energy. We want more reliable, affordable, secure energy. We are reversing policies that force consumers to pay more for clothes washers and dryers, hot water heaters and dishwashers that deliver inferior performance.
Our goal is lower cost and higher performance. Is that radical?
We also plan to reverse the destructive mandates, forcing everyone to buy EVs that have been wreaking havoc on our auto industry and forcing higher prices and reduced choices on consumers.
I could go on and on, but I'll end with a few words about AI.
AI is going to be truly transformative, many of the ways in which we can't even foresee today. We are already experiencing the impacts, the benefits in consumer services and education and also with business efficiencies. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Combining AI and quantum computing to drug discovery is likely to yield simply breathtaking results. The same is true for potential advancements in fusion energy, likely to be demonstrated during this administration.
I have been visiting our national laboratories, which are underappreciated gems in our country. The excitement is palpable to apply AI specifically for scientific advancement. AI impacts on national defense, both offensive and defensive, are likely also transformative. The implications on national defense make it simply critical that America leads the AI race. We have the talent, innovative spirit, and leading companies to win.
But all that won't matter if we can't deliver the energy. AI is an energy intensive manufacturing industry. It takes massive amounts of electricity to generate intelligence. The more energy invested, the more intelligence produced. Since the demand... for intelligence is unlimited, so will be the demand for energy. Over the last four years, American electricity prices rose by over 20%, with only about 2% demand growth.
Clearly, that trajectory is a train wreck waiting to happen. As we enter a period of rapid demand growth for electricity, our 180-degree pivot will have to work at warp speed to enable the needed growth in electricity supply without saddling consumers with ever rising electricity prices.
Consumers are rightly upset with the price rises over the last four years. This is a daunting challenge. Success will require significant regulatory changes, massive private capital deployment, and innovative partnerships. None of this will be possible without thoughtful, rational policies on energy and a truly honest assessment of climate change.
We are entering truly exciting times for human progress if we play our cards right, if we can get out of the way and unleash the human spirit. I look forward to working with all of you to better energize the world and fully unleash human potential.
Thank you.

These tariffs dufus....What tariffs? Your article is a month old. There were no tariffs in February. Trump was literally president for 3 weeks when that article published. Again you get your dates wrong. You never learn.
Also, stocks are up and down, not sinking every day.

Kentucky's bourbon makers are up in arms about Canada yanking their bottles off shelves
In 2023, Kentucky exported $43 million of whiskey to Canada — and the state imported $40.3 million of the liquor from Canada.
So, if we just completely embargo Canada, we keep our good bourbon, and it's a 2.7 million dollar trade off?
With much more readily available top shelf bourbon cheaper?
Deal.
God, you're clueless.
Bigger question is why does any non active personnel retain a security clearance of any sort? Of course we know the answer, but that should 100% be changed.
Usaid gets their money back and poof massive cyber attack on the guy doing the digging.
1. No he didn't.
2. So they left Ukraine? The war ended?
3. How is that possible based on sentence 2?
4. Must have missed that. They said we they were ready for any sort of thing, as any country would. (If the usa invades us, they'll take over in a week is a good way to get your govt overthrown)
5. Oh? So who are thee Israeli fighting and who is holding the hostages and turning some over?
6. They respected fear him, as witnessed by how many world leader have traveled to meet him in the first 50 days.
Any more talking points you'd like shot down?
You're delusional just like the King Clown. Trump is a joke who only gets acknowledged thru economic fear tactics and his perceived mental instability.
Russia attempted to take the entire country and Kiev. They failed miserably. Pushed back thanks to US military and intelligence support. We didn't tuck tail like the little orange bitch.
The entire area of Gaza is pulverized. Biden supplied the weapons for that. There are only 12 hostages left. They are probably dead sadly.
Trump hasn't done sh** in Gaza compared to Biden. 99 percent of the war was over.

Your nonsense about tariffs is just that.
Much like your covid nonsense, and every other thing you've wailed about for years.
In 6 months, you'll be proven a Village Idiot, and you'll be screaming about something new.
Get a life.
Or put the mask back on and get some boosters and show you're consistent in your stupidity.
First of all…Kentucky is a right to work state. So mandatory membership/mandatory dues doesn’t have anything to do with KEA being a union or not being a union. Making membership and/or due’s mandatory would be illegal in Kentucky regardless of the classification.
The easiest answer to your last question is that KEA is the official state affiliate of the NEA (a registered labor union). That is stated clearly right on the KEA & NEA websites. KEA sends part of its collected dues directly to NEA.
NEA also sends a portion of its collected dues to the political action committee KEPAC…which gets their marching orders top down from NEA on just about every major policy for which they advocate including which local political candidates to endorse & where to contribute their funds.
KEA is basically the statewide puppet organization for the NEA and is directly affiliated with the two biggest local teachers unions in the state…Jefferson & Fayette.
It may not officially be registered as a “union” but right on the KEA website it states the following:
KEA is the largest labor organization in Kentucky…
That sounds very union-ish to me. But don’t take my word for it…just ask the JCTA union president Maddie Sheppard. This is a direct quote from her on Daily KOS (about as far left as it gets) in January 2025…
Shepard stressed that affiliation with the state AFL-CIO doesn’t mean JCTA is disaffiliating with the Kentucky Education Association. “We in JCTA are so excited to be a part of KEA, Kentucky’s statewide teacher’s union, and a state-wide coalition of unions across industries and across the state.”
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/1/22/2298552/-Breaking-JCTA-affiliates-with-the-KY-AFL-CIO
I guess someone should inform the president of the biggest local teachers union in the state of Kentucky that KEA isn’t a union.
Conclusion:
Technically you are correct…KEA is not officially registered as a “union”. It is merely the self-described “largest labor organization in Kentucky”, is described as a “statewide union” by the JCTA union president, and acts as a puppet organization for the NEA national labor union.
Sooo…Congrats on being correct!!!???
The numbers share my opinion. You live in a GD fantasy world like Trump. You probably still believe he won in 2020 too. 🤡
From Solomon to Trump. Two very smart and rich men. Tariffs aren't bad...in fact they're Biblical.
2 Chronicles 1 NKJ
17 They also acquired and imported from Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty; thus, [d]through their agents, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.
From the commentary of the Nelson NKJ Study Bible.....
.....this verse suggests that a chariot cost as much as four horses. they exported them: Solomon had a thriving business in horses and chariots. Because Israel was on the route from Asia and Africa, such goods would go through Israel and become subject to Solomon's heavy import and export taxes.
Good enough for Solomon.....good enough for me.
2 Chronicles 1 NKJ
17 They also acquired and imported from Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty; thus, [d]through their agents, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

Well I at least named three. You named one as way out in front. I could have gone on but you would get the point if a named a hundred.
The ole left wing false binary choice. "If you don't do X, it must mean you support Y"
Wind turbines and solar panels won't save the day... but American Oil and Gas will make a huge difference in our nation's prosperity.
Savvy investors will be looking to capture value from the recent dip in stock prices.... after all the suckers have sold their shares.
