It is amusing!

Since when does Jake Tapper care about transparency? What a joke of a man. He was key in covering up the truth of Benghazi which I believe would have ended Barack O’s political career.

He could be right but I question his motive and what he really knows.

That is unlikely. Elon throwing s*it against the wall to see what sticks.

I think trying to find a twist to blame Trump.

Press conference right now about the Kerr County flood. LE trying to update. Some in the press trying to assess blame. They are disgusting. LE try to explain that priority now is rescue and clean up, etc., and that later will be the time for assessment. These media using words have no idea how anything really works but they are dangerous.

Unbelievably sad day. Praying praying praying.

Earlier this afternoon I got an email from Social Security Administration about the BBB. I thought it was very fast response.
“The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.
The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation’s economy.

“This is a historic step forward for America’s seniors,” said Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. “For nearly 90 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for older Americans. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they’ve earned.”
The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples. Additionally, it provides an enhanced deduction for taxpayers aged 65 and older, ensuring that retirees can keep more of what they have earned.
Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public and will continue working closely with federal partners to ensure beneficiaries understand how this legislation may affect them.”

I have seen that clip. It sounds very accurate to me.

I give Elon credit for his visionary mind. This latest upset makes me think he is more upset about losing subsidies than the budgetary concerns. He pushes solar and claims it is the answer to the future and he points out China getting ahead in solar and Norway (I think) who claim 97% of cars are EV. It is all rather self serving and not big picture. Solar is a scar on the landscape and takes so much land that pretty quickly a lot of good farm land will be covered. We can’t eat solar panels, even though I have family running sheep under solar to keep grass down. But big picture, it isn’t efficient. It makes a lot of money for a few and around here the out of town land owners don’t care.

Wind energy people are already begging for another tax abatement when windmills need to be replaced. If it was profitable they would not need more relief. The problem is those turbines do not pay for themselves before they wear out. How foolish. The gigantic blades are a problem because there isn’t a good way to recycle so they are stacking up in various places. How foolish. But companies and landowners are making money and local taxing entities are so happy for the money thrown at various events by these companies and for tax money, even though reduced compared to other businesses.

In before I take a nap. Thanks again!

Zohran is an actor. He is privileged like AOC. Catherine Wenn made the point that he ran a campaign on populist issues. The voters didn’t know about his views on Islam, communism, etc. Still he seems like a goofy actor climbing to power. Don’t doubt he will double cross any group that supports him so he can keep power.

He looks feminine.

Is he for real? He seems to say more radical things as time goes by. It almost seems like he is playing a role as a prank. New York is at the butt end of the joke if he wins.

Well, she is the one who looks ridiculous.

“There’s going to a lot of intel feces hitting the fan in the next few days. Use common sense.”

I have been thinking the same. So many arm chair experts and second guessers.

I thought he seemed very emotional. The weight of the world.

“Can I be the first to coin the term MIPA. Making Iran Persia Again.”

Sounds good to me.

Obviously I could have phrased that last comment better. My kids would have a field day at my expense. So allow me another try.

Morning coffee, fresh milled bread with marmolade jam to complete the feast.

And some marmolade on top? LOL
