Tucker was earning $20 million annually at Fox. It's not easy to come up with that type of income on your own in the media. If you take people with a following. On substack the top 10 earn about $25 million a year combined and you can imagine the amount of work one puts in to have 100k people subscribing to read your articles faithfully

Tucker I believe is probably paid by anyone including despots to put h in a good word about them. His views depend on what's putting food on the table that day.

This is funny 🤣😂🤣
But he's been instrumental in shaping your ideologies over the years, are you going to return back what he had fed you

I've always said I'm rationally rational. He is no longer at Fox and life can be hard outside . Not that he is broke , he is darn rich , he needs the spotlight too . I read widely before I form a conclusion.

You know I'm willing to forgive you even after all the stuff you pushed here, I'm ok with you being on your centrist arc, I hope you find liberal freedom at the end of the tunnel. Being free of sound mind is the best life you can get.

The guy thinks that the average German is sad that Hitler was defeated. What an ignoramus. Damn!

I like how stylishly Merz corrected him.

A person who is happy to have Trump as his leader, hasn’t been blessed with a high or even average IQ. For someone to be happy to be led by someone this daft, you must be much more stvpid than them.

If Trump taught me one thing, then that there are many many more dvmb people than I expected.

Elon is in his element when he gambles big.
Tesla stock was gaining momentum because of robotaxi launch but sales cratered because of his DOGE involvement.
You don't have to be in the Tesla boardroom to suss out that he was read the riot act.
Fix your mess or get the boot.
This is him fixing his mess Elon-style.

We'll see what comes of it.
It makes for prime entertainment.
But only the numbers would matter.
Oh and Trump has to make sure the bill es. Hand Elon an L. Make him the heel.
Conflict resolution comes after if Elon begs hard enough.
Vance is Trump's VP and he said unprintable things about Trump.
There are more acts and scenes to come in this play.

DOGE caucus to present a bill
the Delivering On Government Efficiency (DOGE) in Spending Act, would require the Treasury Department to link each federal payment to a budget , include a clear description, and cross-check it against existing government databases to accuracy and eligibility. The legislation would also ensure every expenditure is made publicly available on USAspending.gov, with annual updates for ongoing transactions. It’s a major transparency push—and a potential pay-for in the Big Beautiful Bill.

Treasury just gets a pay request and wires the money often without indicating the purpose of the payments. $6 Trillion a year is wired out , $2.88 Billion an hour ( 40 hour week).
Without clear indication , auditors will take a gazillion years to cross reference every payment , they still ran COBOL on their mainframe.
US Treasury relies heavily on COBOL for many of its critical systems, particularly within the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). COBOL, a programming language developed in 1959, is used in legacy mainframe systems to process high-volume financial transactions, such as tax processing, Social Security payments, and other federal disbursements. For example, the IRS uses approximately 160 COBOL applications with an average of 235,000 lines of code per application, including systems like the Individual Master File (IMF) for taxpayer data, which also incorporates IBM Assembler. The Treasury's Payment Application Modernization (PAM) and Secured Payment System (SPS) also run on COBOL, handling trillions of dollars in payments annually, with PAM alone processing $4.7 trillion in 2024.

Despite its age, COBOL remains in use due to its reliability, scalability, and precision for financial calculations, especially with fixed-point decimal arithmetic critical for accurate monetary transactions. However, challenges include the scarcity of COBOL programmers, as the language is no longer widely taught, and the complexity of modernizing these systems without disrupting critical operations.

Advice your young ones to master COBOL smiley smiley

Elon and Trump are good people, they are simply engaged in a foo lish cat fight.

Trump only cares about billionaires
The narrative spinners need to work out a new one.
Trump ers and himself can now say he intends to keep his promises, given he wants to cut Tesla subsidies.

Judge Murphy ordered the following illegal aliens deportees not to be released to an African country before being given a chance to challenge their deportations. Their own countries don't want them.

3 ICE officers are detailed with them in Djibouti camp.

_Enrique Arias Hierro, a Cuban national, who was convicted in 1999 of attempted second-degree murder and robbery and in 2007 for kidnapping, robbery and impersonating a police officer, earning him a 15-year prison sentence.
_Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Quinones, another Cuban national convicted in 2008 of arson and cocaine trafficking; in 2020 of illegal possession of a firearm; and in 2022 of attempted first-degree murder, earning him a four-year prison sentence.
Thongxay Nilakout, a Laotian national, who was convicted in 1995 for the first-degree murderof a German tourist in California — and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
_Jesus Munoz-Gutierrez, a citizen of Mexico, who was convicted in 2005 of second-degree murder for stabbing his then-roommate with a knife and later sentenced to 25 years in prison.
_Kyaw Mya, of Myanmar, who was convicted in 2019 for repeatedly sexually assaulting a minor from 2011 to 2017 starting when the victim was 7 years old. Mya was later sentenced to 10 years in prison.
_Nyo Myint, also of Myanmar, who was convicted in 2020 of first-degree sexual assault involving a victim mentally and physically incapable of resisting. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
_Tuan Thanh Phan, of Vietnam, who was convicted in 2001 of first-degree murder after he “randomly” discharged a firearm into a crowd following a gang dispute and later sentenced to 22 years in prison.
_Dian Peter Domach, the only Sudanese national in the group, who was convicted in 2014 of armed robbery and sentenced to 14 years in prison.



Trump should bring them back and have them detained in the judges house.
You may want to compare their sentencing to Tina Peters whose crime was taking copies of 2020 electoral data from Dominion computers the Colorado Sec of State had ordered be wiped out. She got 9 years.

LordAdam16:

Trump gets elected.
He immediately lets those guys, led by Elon, have a crack at deficit reduction.
They had some wins but then they inevitably stalled when the next item on the docket was taking an axe to military spending and America's beloved entitlement programs.
It is pertinent to note that while DOGE was in session, Elon disproportionately suffered the consequences while Trump skated by with nary a scratch.

This post pretty summaries most of what is in the public about z Trump and Epstein's relationship.
In a nutshell , the smears were accelerated by Billary Clinton.

https://www.stonecoldtruth.com/p/trump-and-epstein-the-truth-emerges
Excerpt.

.....Trump turned down numerous invitations to Epstein’s hedonistic private island and his Palm Beach home.The one time I visited his Palm Beach home, the swimming pool was full of beautiful young girls,” Trump told a member of his Club, Mar-a-Lago. “‘How nice,’ I thought, ‘he let the neighborhood kids use his pool.’” According to his personal security guard, Trump left Epstein's home within 15 minutes of arrival, feeling uncomfortable with the strange ratio of men to much younger women.

........... preparation for his confirmation hearings in the U.S. Senate when he was appointed Secretary of Labor by President Donald Trump, Acosta told U.S. Senate staffers that if asked about his disposition of the Epstein case as U.S. Attorney, he would say that the DOJ told him that Epstein worked for the CIA and that the matter needed to be closed and the file legally sealed.

........
The Clinton Foundation provided one hundred percent of the funding for TerraMar, a nonprofit controlled by Epstein love-vendor Ghislaine Maxwell, which was utilized to hire young female interns to allegedly work on environmental projects while actually constituting a grooming pool of Epstein's future victims.


It's by Roger Stone, expect any unfavourable detail to be left out. But from everything I've read , it pretty much corroborates. I've posted most of what I've read here previously.


**** Trump is not willing to meet with Elon Musk****

*** David Choen who Epstein's lawyer in 2019 yesterday said on X that Epstein had no nothing whatsoever on Trump. Which pretty much corroborates Roger Stone article I've quoted.

Lets test your understanding of the economy. Read the below and tell us what you understand by it

The US economy added 139,000 jobs in May, slightly more than expected
Economists were expecting the economy to have added 130,000 jobs last month and that the unemployment rate held at 4.2%, according to FactSet consensus estimates.

Stock futures jumped after the data release, and after the opening bell the Dow was up by 435 points, or 1%. The S&P 500 rose by 0.9% and the Nasdaq Composite was 1.1% higher.
