The trade war that wasn’t Huh. Who knew? From CNBC, Even with high tariffs, Trump’s trade war suddenly is starting to look not so scary on Wall Street. “Suddenly.” Economists cite a strong global growth backdrop, a less-than-expected inflationary impact of the tariffs and a general easing in financial conditions as reasons for why the landscape looks less dire. “Economists” have been wrong every inch of the way so far, so guess we should take their word for it, now. Meanwhile, Yahoo reports US stocks eked out records Monday in relatively muted trading session as the US and European Union struck a trade pact…The S&P 500 rose just above the flatline to post a sixth consecutive day of record closes. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/07/the-trade-war-that-wasnt.php

Of course he did.

LOL. See, there you go. If Fox News broke the law like CBS did, we would be fine with it. I can't believe that I wrote that response correctly, I was so giggling at 'President AOC' .

Which one of you guys wrote this ? It's not surprising that the dead media doesn't want to give President Trump any credit for all that he's accomplished in his first six months in office. Nor is it surprising that they will search high and low for any (hopefully, figurative) rock they can throw at him to damage his administration. This is all standard operating procedure for them, and also why their approval is about as low as that of the entire Democrat Party. But just in case we were starting to feel like we hate them sufficiently for their lying and gaslighting, The Daily Beast reminded us once again this morning that no, we do not, and we never will be able to. During Trump's visit to Scotland (where he brought the entire EU to heel with a gigantic trade deal), he got in some time on one of his golf courses, accompanied by a brand new armored golf cart designed -- much to the media's chagrin -- to deter any potential assassins. But here is how The Daily Beast characterized the debut of the new vehicle that is now part of the President's protective detail: Alleged? ALLEGED? We simply cannot believe how broken these people are. It definitely belongs in the media Hall of Shame. And it wasn't even just the headline writer or social media intern this time. The word 'alleged' was used throughout the story itself. But there was nothing 'alleged' about that. Ryan Routh brought an SKS rifle to Trump's course in West Palm Beach, hid in the woods, and was aiming it at Trump and his security detail when he was discovered and fled the scene. It will come as no surprise that the writer of the piece, Erkki Forster, is barely out of UC-Berkeley, is an LGBTQ+ 'journalist,' and is obsessed with writing Trump hit pieces on any topic, including the death of Hulk Hogan. https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2025/07/28/daily-beast-trump-alleged-assassination-attempt-n2416345

Lying Sack of SCHIFF! Did he really think we'd buy what he was trying to sell here about Jeanine Pirro? To be fair, Schiff is probably 'schiffing bricks' right now about the mortgage fraud and, of course, his pardon being written basically in crayon, but this was a bad move even for him. We all know Pirro wasn't taken off the air; she resigned once appointed by Trump. https://twitchy.com/samj/2025/07/28/schiff-pirro-n2416341

Another win : the National Guard case

So, all three of you have effectively destroyed Tiberius's reason for starting this weak thread, He will STILL come back and argue................guaranteed.

Yeah, we don't need doctors, That was his point. Just amazing.

MORE on the above Judge Enters New Order in Planned Parenthood Funding Case, and It May Be the Most Insane Yet Boston-based U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani has entered another ruling against the congressional defunding of Planned Parenthood, and this order may be the most insane yet. I don't just mean that in terms of this specific case, but in terms of the entirety of the judiciary since President Donald Trump began his second term. As reported, Talwani originally put in place a temporary restraining order while giving no reason to do so, violating the law in the process. With that, she sided with the plaintiffs and told the Trump administration it must keep providing Medicaid funds to members of the abortion mill's network. After a week, the judge finally got around to offering a reasoning, amending her TRO to claim that Congress defunding Planned Parenthood likely violated the First and Fifth Amendments. Even putting aside the absurdities involved in those claims, Talwani also clearly overstepped her bounds by providing standing to plaintiffs who didn't qualify. {snip} I think a lot of people would disagree with that assessment, but it would also seem to be irrelevant. What does access to contraceptives and a supposed "increase in unintended pregnancies" have to do with the legal questions at play? You can see Talwani's biases on full display throughout this injunction. Regardless, the viewpoint discrimination angle remains arguably ridiculous. It's one thing to make such a decision regarding an executive order, as those could theoretically violate laws passed by Congress. So it's at least conceivable that viewpoint discrimination could exist in a scenario where a president denies funding to an entity on political grounds that was receiving money already appropriated to it by Congress. But in this case, it was Congress that defunded Planned Parenthood. Are we to believe that if any political opposition exists to a private entity, then elected representatives, who constitutionally control the power of the purse, can't end funding for it? That's absurd on its face, and if that standard were consistently applied, it would mean essentially nothing that an opposing party disagrees with could ever be defunded. Does that sound right to anyone? https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/07/28/judge-enters-new-order-in-planned-parenthood-funding-case-and-it-may-be-the-most-insane-yet-n2192170

Not as funny.

MORE REAL NEWS. Cambodia and Thailand are scheduled to begin high level talks in Malaysia shortly in hopes of achieving an immediate ceasefire. State Department officials are on the ground in Malaysia to assist these peace efforts. Both @POTUS and I remain engaged with our respective counterparts for each country and are monitoring the situation very closely. We want this conflict to end as soon as possible.

Real news. Not like the nonsense posted all day.
