US Elections (& Politics) :)

I think we have enough oil of our own. President Trump is expanding the oil drilling in this country.

Well it aint about drugs...... There are at least 10-15 countries ahead of Venezuela.

Its about Oil. They're lying to you, again.
 
Long term yes, short term wanting to prevent China from becoming their best friend.
Shale oil is hard to extract and expensive. There's a reason he just opened the entire Alaska Arctic to drilling

Oh boy... I have world series game 2 on now, and what do I hear right now in the background while I'm not paying attention to a "commercial"?... Ronald Regan... Ford is really messing with Trump now... at least LA is ahead 3 to 1 bottom of the 7th!

Hours after Trump said he'd slap more tariffs on Canada, Ontario's Reagan ad airs again during the World Series

The Blue Jays took game one on Friday, dominating with an 11-4 victory, while the Dodgers won 5-1 in game two.
 

That's from the NY POST editorial board... here's what they say:

Strip away the lies about Obamacare subsidies set to expire this year, and Democrats’ main excuse for shutting the government goes up in smoke.

What’s set to vanish is merely the added cash Democrats in Congress agreed to pay insurers (using taxpayer money) during COVID. That’s it.



OK... now let's see what FOX News has to say on the same matter:

Republicans push to renew Obamacare subsidies while rejecting Democrats' shutdown tie-in


A group of House Republicans is calling on Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to deal with expiring Obamacare subsidies immediately after the government shutdown ends. Thirteen House GOP lawmakers, led by Reps. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., and Jen Kiggans, R-Va., are sending a letter to Johnson on Tuesday thanking him for his leadership during the shutdown but maintaining that Obamacare must also be dealt with before the end of the year. Once the government is reopened, however, we should immediately turn our focus to the growing crisis of healthcare affordability and the looming expiration of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits.


Are democrats really supposed to trust Mike Johnson would negotiate in good faith if the government were opened... why wasn't this already negotiated/included in the big, beautiful bill if 13 GOP lawmakers think it's needed... why do they think it's needed anyway... worried about their constituents a.k.a. midterm elections?

In case you didn't know the term "Illegal Alien's" is racist, and is on par with calling blacks slaves.


If they are here without a green card, then THEY are an Alien and are illegally here...therefore, they are Illegal Aliens! It is really that simple...oh, lets throw in criminal as well, as they have broken our immigration laws.

NOTHING RACIST ABOUT THOSE DEFINITIONS! IDIOTS!

How does criminal alien sound? OK with me as well.
 
Maybe 3rd time’s a charm?

Investors are waking up to some huge news from China:

A trade deal is coming.

China’s Vice Minister of Commerce just announced that US and China reached a "consensus" on key trade issues.

This INCLUDES export controls, tariff suspensions, fentanyl-related measures, anti-drug cooperation, trade expansion, and US Section 301 fees.

On top of this, US Treasury Secretary Bessent says China is "ready" to make a trade deal with the US after 2 days of negotiations.

Bessent has added that China wants to make "substantial" US soybean purchases.

All while President Trump says he is hoping for a "complete deal" with China this week.

As we said on October 10th, President Trump's 100% tariff on China is very likely to NOT go into effect.

We believe a trade deal is imminent.


 
Let's hope so... but no mention of "help" from China with Russia/Ukraine, that's probably asking too much... and he wants to meet Kim Jong on this trip too... and the Venezuela hot potato?

He's almost 80 years old, how the f does he juggle all these balls?
