Thanks edie1960, just saw your post. you are correct sad that he left the interest rates unchanged but no surprise. Trump is doing a great job even though his hands are tied behind his back.
Post 6119 That is a good one
🙏🙏🙏
Why would one “Republican,” Senator Josh Hawley from the Great State of Missouri, join with all of the Democrats to block a Review, sponsored by Senator Rick Scott, and with the support of almost all other Republicans, of Nancy Pelosi’s Stock Trading over the last 25 years. The information was inappropriately released just minutes before the Vote — Very much like SABOTAGE! The Democrats, because of our tremendous ACHIEVEMENTS and SUCCESS, have been trying to “Target” me for a long period of time, and they’re using Josh Hawley, who I got elected TWICE, as a pawn to help them. I wonder why Hawley would pass a Bill that Nancy Pelosi is in absolute love with — He is playing right into the dirty hands of the Democrats. It’s a great Bill for her, and her “husband,” but so bad for our Country! I don’t think real Republicans want to see their President, who has had unprecedented success, TARGETED, because of the “whims” of a second-tier Senator named Josh Hawley!
POTUS NOT HAPPY with Missouri Senator Josh Hawley
Thank you so much for checking in, polly.
Makes me happy to know you are getting better but very sad to know your dear sister now has it.
You both will be in my continuing prayers for His merciful healing.🙏
Yay!! So glad your power came back on.
Our a/c guy just left and we have a/c, again!!
I left and went shopping, where it was C🥶🥶L, inside!
The Internet is not free. Borrowing books from my local library is free. …. Or should I say prepaid by my taxes?
Hello, polly!
So happy to see you ... and, know that you’re doing much better. Thank you for checking in.
So sorry your sis now has the flu ... darn it. Will keep her and you ALL in my prayers.
I really don’t understand this at all.

What good can Josh Hawley possibly be thinking of about voting with Democrats to block a review of Nancy Pelosi’s stock trading of the last 25 years ???
Not a wise decision Mr. Hawley. He’ll probably vote with the Democrats to block an inquiry into Barack Obama’s illegal spying of Trump too.
Get your 💩together GOP. 🔥🔥🔥

Since......
🚨 Daily Caller White House Correspondent
@reaganreese_: “Sen. Hawley introduced legislation that bans members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks. It would also extend to the president and the vice president. Are you in support of this legislation?”
PRES. TRUMP: “I like it conceptually.... Nancy Pelosi became rich by having inside information. She made a fortune with her husband, and I think that’s disgraceful.”
“Nancy Pelosi should be INVESTIGATED....”

🚨 JUST IN: Sen. Josh Hawley’s PELOSI Act, a groundbreaking bill aimed at banning congressional stock trading, has just passed out of committee in a nail-biting 8-7 vote! It signals a potential revolution in how we perceive transparency and integrity in government.

Couldn’t agree more, @POTUS! That’s why I was shocked when my amendment requesting a full report on
@SpeakerPelosi’s far too frequent “coincidental” stock trades was blocked today by Dems and Senator @HawleyMO.

Rick Scott continues to spar with Josh Hawley, who’s sitting right next to them.
Scott says Hawley hasn’t improved the stock bill since it was passed last Congress, despite committing to do so.

Scott says Hawley’s bill is “disgusting.”
Hawley responds: “I don’t mind anyone being rich, I mind people getting rich while they’re here and trading stocks”

Another reason why Congress members shouldn’t be trading stocks:
“Back during COVID, you saw members on Congress, both parties, engage in a flurry of stock trading right after they were getting COVID briefings. Were members of the public getting those briefings? They were not.”

“ Congress is full of RINOs”
I have always understood why DC Republicans are called the stupid party. In the last few years, I have come to believe that they are also the party of collusion. The scams and perks for themselves, their family members and friends are so extremely lucrative that they will do anything to stay in power.

Texas Democrats are again flirting with the idea of fleeing the state to stop Republicans from getting their way.
This time, the issue is redistricting, and donors are already opening their checkbooks to support the stunt.
The Texas Tribune reported that Democrats are “privately mulling their options,” including another quorum break that would leave the Texas House unable to function.
They pulled a similar maneuver in 2021, flying to Washington, D.C., in a failed attempt to stop GOP-backed election reforms.
This time around, Democrats are reportedly looking to block mid-decade redistricting.
According to The Texas Tribune, fleeing lawmakers would be fined $500 per day and face the threat of arrest, though donors are prepared to cover those costs.
“Deep-pocketed donors within the party appear ready to cover these expenses,” the outlet reported.
Campaign finance rules prohibit using campaign accounts to pay the fines, but Democrats are already plotting how to circumvent that.
U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, suggested lawmakers could accept donor money as income.
One estimate put the cost of a quorum break at $1 million per month, a figure donors say they can handle.
Crockett told the outlet she did not believe the fines would hold up in court.
“I think that the first step would be to make sure that there are attorneys on deck to actually challenge the legality of these rules,” she said.
The Texas House approved the $500 per day fine in 2023 in response to the 2021 walkout.
Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton has warned that Democrats who try it again could be arrested.
If Democrats ignore their duty to their constituents by breaking quorum, they should be found and arrested no matter where they go. The people of Texas elected them to do a job, not run away and hide like cowards. Lawmakers must answer the special session call and pass the… https://t.co/sxLvZCIOB1— Attorney General Ken Paxton (@KenPaxtonTX) July 15, 2025

Breaking Update: Wife of Man Arrested For Setting Virginia Lawmaker on Fire Filed For Divorce Two Weeks Ago

This is indeed a head scratcher, Lakeside Granny.
One day, Hawley is proposing $600 rebate checks for taxpayers, the next he’s wanting to ban politicos from investing in the stock market.
Both actions have their merits, but the rebates are of minimal benefit and smack of a gimmick while the ban makes no rhyme nor reason.
The rebates might be spent on stimulating the economy, which is otherwise doing just fine without them.
We don’t really need these checks going out as was the case during the height of Covid to offset layoffs, medical expenses, etc.
However, that’s no doubt a fairly popular idea.
As far as banning stock trading among his colleagues and high-ranking officials, I don’t know what’s behind this thinking.
I have no problems with this activity, but it ought to be done under blind trusts to avoid corrupt practices especially Insider Trading and voting in favor of certain legislation in order to benefit firms for personal gain.
I’m so sick of these d@m Dems obstructing laws and State Legislature procedures.
I hope Paxton arrests their cheating @sses.
What I was questioning is why is Trump so upset with Hawley.
It turns out that Scott wanted to put an amendment in the Pe-lousy Bill, that Hawley sponsored, to look into Pe-lousy’s last 25 years of stock trading.
Hawley and the demonrats voted NO on the amendment.
I think I have this right.

I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has agreed to a Full and Complete Trade Deal with the Republic of Korea. The Deal is that South Korea will give to the United States $350 Billion Dollars for Investments owned and controlled by the United States, and selected by myself, as President. Additionally, South Korea will purchase $100 Billion Dollars of LNG, or other Energy products and, further, South Korea has agreed to invest a large sum of money for their Investment purposes. This sum will be announced within the next two weeks when the President of South Korea, Lee Jae Myung, comes to the White House for a Bilateral Meeting. I would also like to congratulate the new President on his Electoral Success. It is also agreed that South Korea will be completely OPEN TO TRADE with the United States, and that they will accept American product including Cars and Trucks, Agriculture, etc. We have agreed to a Tariff for South Korea of 15%. America will not be charged a Tariff. I would like to thank the Trade Representatives who came forward today. It was an Honor to meet them, and talk about the Great Success of their Country!
POTUS strikes a Trade Deal with South Korea
