Make sure to post a link for a review of the speech from one of your “independent” sources

Sure will.

I know dozens of them.
Dozens of both right and left-leaning sources as well.

So much content, not enough time, I tell ya what

That report just sank his upcoming speech,
Trump's scrambling now, and he doesn't think well on the fly.
Come to think about it, his mind is pretty much meatloaf these days.

Well, if he's going to be damned, he's going to want to be damned.
Right, Meat?

I hear he might even mention cancelling the midterms like some mental midgets claim.

Trump’s sleepy moments go viral during Board of Peace meeting

Sleepy Joe, meet sleepy Don.

Biden apparently just rode coach and sat next to a random passenger. People absolutely love him. Imagine Trump trying to do the same, he’d need the army for protection.

In 2026, nearly 100% of the world's countries impose some form of tariffs on trade partners.

If you class Australia's GST as a tariff then I guess it would probably be near 100%

[DwightShrute]

A 10% GST applies to all retail sales. It's not specially applied to imports.

Like you say a tariff is designed to protect local industries. If a tax is applied equally to local and international supplied products its not there to protect anything.


Trump must love how his base are too dim to even question stupid assertions like saying a GST is like his arbitrary tariffs.

the SCOTUS literally told Trump he can do tariffs still, but just call it something else. LOL How dumb is that? All they did is wasted everyone's time. Also, Jackson doesn't know what a woman is because she's not a biologist (her words).

Importing goods into Australia, customs duties and tariffs are generally used interchangeably to refer to the tax imposed on goods imported from other countries.

A standard customs duty/ tariff of 5%. Importing to Australia usually involves more than just a tariff/duty:

• Goods and Services Tax (GST): A flat 10% tax that applies to most imports.

These fees are designed to protect Australian industries and generate government revenue. Sound familiar? LOL.

This girl’s name was Katie Johnson and she was just 13-years-old.

Katie tried to alert the public about Donald Trump but was inundated with so many death threats that she withdrew her testimony just 3 days before the 2016 election and hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

Katie Johnson's accusations lack substantiation and are widely regarded as unproven, highly questionable, or discredited in credible reporting and fact-checks.

No trial occurred, no evidence was tested in court, and no findings of fact were made. The accuser never appeared publicly beyond an anonymous interview, and journalists who attempted to verify her identity (e.g., one who spoke to someone claiming to be her) expressed doubts about her existence or the story's credibility.

Fact-checkers (e.g., PolitiFact, Snopes) have rated claims of proven rape or settlements as false or unsupported—no proof of guilt, no settlements, and the case never advanced beyond filing/withdrawal.


In short: he/him is committed to deception and like his diaper, full of shit.

You know what? I don't even talk about this much. There's never been a president that waived his salary. I get no credit for it. Nobody ever writes about it

FACT: Edgar Hoover and JFK both forsook or donated their salaries to charities / public service organisations.

Trump's "sacrifice"?

Waiving $400K/year while taxpayers spent $141M on his golf—350x that salary.

His $1.6M donation claim?
$200K remains unaccounted for.

This theatre masks billions funneled to his properties.

I think I know how to read a graph that shows egg prices at $2 a dozen in October 2024:

pavy, I don't think you do. Even your own graph doesn't show eggs prices at $2 in October 24. LOL.

[pavyracer]

Isn't it important to know why? Context does matter doesn't it? It should.


In October 2024, US egg prices were rising due to the early impacts of a bird flu (HPAI) outbreak that began affecting supplies around mid-October. Retail prices (average for a dozen Grade A large eggs, per BLS data) were around $3.00 to $3.30 per dozen in early-to-mid October, climbing toward $3.65 by November as the outbreak intensified. Wholesale prices were lower but also starting to increase significantly.As of now (mid-February 2026), prices have dropped dramatically after the 2025 bird flu peak (which saw retail highs of $6.23 per dozen in March 2025). The industry rebuilt flocks, leading to oversupply and normalization.

• Current retail prices: The latest BLS data shows an average of about $2.58 per dozen Grade A large eggs in January 2026 (most recent monthly figure; February data pending but trends indicate continued decline or stability around $2–$2.60). Recent reports note prices retreating toward the $2 range, down sharply from 2025 peaks and about 34% lower year-over-year in early 2026.
• Wholesale prices: Even lower, with benchmarks around $0.62 to $0.92 per dozen (as of February 19, 2026), reflecting full recovery and excess supply.

Comparison: October 2024 retail prices ($3.00–$3.30) were notably higher than current levels ($2.58 or lower). Prices are now roughly 20–25% lower than in October 2024, and far below the 2025 highs driven by massive flock losses. USDA expects continued lower prices in 2026 barring new outbreaks, though some analysts warn oversupply could ease and prices rebound modestly later.Prices vary by region, store, and type (e.g., cage-free/organic higher), but national averages show a clear drop from late 2024 into 2026.

[DwightShrute]

I don't think you understand how graphs work so let me make it clear to you. In October of 2024 eggs were $2 a dozen. In March 2025 eggs were $8 a dozen. In February 2026 eggs are $2 a dozen. Look I didn't even injected politics into this like you do all the time.
