Daily Beast RETRACTS story that tried to link Melania Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. They reported claims that Melania Trump was introduced to Donald J. Trump via a modeling agent connected to Epstein. Melania's lawyers had a word with them. FAKE NEWS LOST. "Editor’s Note. After this story was published, The Beast received a letter from First Lady Melania Trump’s attorney challenging the headline and framing of the article. After reviewing the matter, the Beast has taken down the article and apologizes for any confusion or misunderstanding."

The article, which detailed claims made by author Michael Wolff

Correct , downward . A key indicator the Fed uses for a rate cut .

If you read the comments by the Slimes . A strong jobs report supports keeping rates unchanged .

So when will we be seeing outlets like the NYT who used the May and June jobs report to support Powell’s stance on not changing rates say it’s time for a rate cut that Trump has been calling for ?

• On June 6, The New York Times reported: “A solid jobs report for May has reinforced the Federal Reserve’s stance that it can take its time before restarting interest rate cuts.

• On July 3, The New York Times reported that the June jobs report “fortifies the Federal Reserve’s case that it does not need to be in a hurry to lower borrowing costs.”

Your team lost a football game and your first reaction as team owner is to fire the scorekeeper.

Towards the end of the war,... as Hitler lost his grip on reality,.. whenever his generals gave him bad news- he would just fire them.

Except Himmler.
The only one Hitler feared was Himmler; history books won't tell you that, but even Hitler thought Himmler was nuts, but wouldn't fire or execute him. Another cowardly German who took the easy way out by chewing on cyanide.

Wait what?? I thought for sure this was the big one Elizabeth

NY Mag. "There isn’t much specific evidence that Epstein Files scandal and cover-up are moving the numbers. Indeed, when it comes to the more specific claim that the “crisis” over Epstein is wrecking havoc in Trump’s MAGA base, the evidence suggests strongly otherwise.

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is attending a $25 million MAGA Inc. fundraiser at Trump’s Bedminster golf club.

Let’s be crystal clear: In July 2020, Trump’s administration handed Pfizer $1.95 billion of taxpayer money; before the vaccine was even approved, to secure 100 million doses under Operation Warp Speed.

Now, that same Pfizer CEO is showing up to help fill Trump’s campaign war chest.

Imagine that as president?

As of today, a 35% tariff wall stands between US and Canada, supposedly to stop fentanyl.

A curious way to fight a drug crisis: by making Americans pay more for everything else.

The admin's pretext is paper-thin: Canada accounts for just 1% of US fentanyl.

Meanwhile, the real cost is an 18.3% total import tax burden—the highest since 1934.

As US markets fell 1.2% today, it's clear these tariffs are less a policy than a self-inflicted wound paid for by US consumers.

Building a tariff wall and making Americans pay for it.

you are about as misinformed as anyone can possibly be.

- Canada-based drug trafficking organizations maintain robust “super labs,” mostly in rural and dense areas in western Canada, some of which can produce 44 to 66 pounds of fentanyl weekly.
Canadian Police Say They Dismantled Country’s Largest Drug Lab


- Federal officers in British Columbia seized drugs and chemical precursors that could produce about 96 million opioid doses, the authorities said.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/01/w...-fentanyl.html

• In April 2025, the RCMP announced that they had found three separate illicit drug production facilities in British Columbia, two of which were suspected of producing fentanyl.
• One of the dismantled labs in British Columbia in 2024 was described as the largest in Canadian history and linked to Mexican cartels.

It's important to remember that these numbers represent labs that have been detected and dismantled by law enforcement. The total number of clandestine fentanyl labs operating in Canada could be higher, as some likely remain undiscovered.

Towards the end of the war,... as Hitler lost his grip on reality,.. whenever his generals gave him bad news- he would just fire them.

Or take them out and have them shot.

As a result,... Nobody wanted to give Hitler any bad news.

So he grew increasingly insane and out of touch.

what does that have to do with anything?

Show us you US voter ID card next to a receipt from a US grocery store showing how much you paid for beef.

Always deflecting. LOL. That is why I am never afraid of debating liberals. You don't know anything. You are addicted to failure and the lies they tell you on CNN and MSNBC.

I told you on a few times I own property in Washington State near Mt. Baker. I have been paying taxes in the US for over 20 years. I am paid in USD. 99% of my business is with the US. You pretend you didn't know that. That is how dishonest you are. You aren't fooling anyone with a brain.

Also, American politics affects the world, so anyone can discuss what happens politically there, regardless where they are from. The mere fact that this needs to be repeatedly explained to you is a sad reflection on the school system where you grew up.

Sadly, I know more about the US, and what is going on there, than you do. You will pretend otherwise I know. You'll also pretend that a man putting on a dress is a woman. You pretended that Biden was cognitively fine for years. You pretend a lot.

you wouldn't know a fact if it hit you in the face. I do pay taxes in the US and you already knew that, but you do what you always do, you lie and you defect away from the issues with personal attacks because you have nothing else. No common sense and no critical thinking ability.

Can you guess who is 6'-4" and who is 6'-3" in this picture?

[DwightShrute]

Don't bother. Facts will not sway him. If Trump says jump from a cliff got me Dwight will reply "Head first?". He is the most loyal Trump sheep that does not live in the US, is not allowed to vote, doesn't pay taxes and rampant inflation does not affect his day to day life. Everything is just better with Taco in our lives.
