Rapist Predicts Stockmarket Boom from Tariffs


"The markets are going to boom, the stock is going to boom, the country's going to boom. And the rest of the world wants to see, is there any way they can make a deal. They've taken advantage of us for many, many years. And many years we've been at the wrong side of the ball and I'll tell you what, I think it's going to be unbelievable."

He's nuts.

Mike Pence on the Trump Tariff Tax


Former Vice President Mike Pence weighs in on the rapist's "Tariff Tax." Not pretty.

The Trump Tariff Tax is the largest peacetime tax hike in U.S. history. These Tariffs are nearly 10x the size of those imposed during the Trump-Pence Administration and will cost American families over $3,500 per year. Check Out“Spoiling America’s Golden Age” @AmericanFreedom

Statue Weary


Here’s a thought experiment for you.

Do you have any idea what was going on in the south in 1964?

Remember the 60s civil rights struggle?

Remember the church bombings?

Remember the police turning fire hoses on civil rights demonstrators?

Then think of this.

Why is it, do you suppose? That Memphis waited until 1964 to erect a statue honoring Jefferson Davis?

Chaos in the Rapist's White House


From Politico: "No one knows what the f*** is going on, said one White House ally close to Trump's inner circle . . . "

“What are they going to tariff? Who are they gonna tariff and at what rates? Like, the very basic questions haven’t been answered yet.”

"Indeed, while the White House is projecting confidence publicly, multiple administration officials, as well as top allies on the outside, are privately concerned that next week’s roll-out could be as rocky as when he imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China on March 4, worsening a rout on stocks that began in mid-February. Though the S&P 500 has since regained some ground, all of its previous gains since Election Day have been erased."

Waltz Lied when He Claimed Never to Have Met Jeffrey Goldberg

 

From Microsoft's Co-Pilot:

"Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, disputed Mike Waltz's claim that they had never met. Goldberg stated that Waltz's assertion was "simply not true" and mentioned that they had met on at least two occasions. Photographic evidence from a 2021 event also supports Goldberg's statement. Waltz's denial came after Goldberg was inadvertently added to a Signal group chat discussing sensitive national security matters."

The Rapist Closes Social Security Offices

From Microsoft's Co-Pilot:

The closure of Social Security offices under the Trump administration is expected to have significant consequences for recipients and applicants. With around 47 local offices slated for closure, many individuals—especially seniors, people with disabilities, and those in rural areas—may face challenges accessing in-person services. 


The administration has also introduced stricter identity verification requirements, which now mandate in-person or online verification for most cases. This could be particularly burdensome for those without reliable internet access or the ability to travel to remaining offices. Additionally, staffing cuts of about 12% are likely to increase wait times and processing delays. 



These changes aim to reduce costs and prevent fraud, but they risk creating barriers for vulnerable populations who rely heavily on Social Security benefits. It’s a tough balancing act between efficiency and accessibility.

The Rapist Is Also a Racist



Yes, undercover government investigators posed as potential tenants to test for racial discrimination at Trump Organization properties. Those who were white were given their choice of apartments to rent, while those who were Black or Puerto Rican were turned away.

Bay Scallops on the OptiGrill


I got this from the AI Chat Bot, Copilot on Windows.


Ingredients:

1 pound bay scallops

2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

Salt and pepper (to taste)

Optional: minced garlic, lemon juice, fresh herbs like parsley or thyme



Preheat the OptiGrill XL: 


Turn on the OptiGrill XL and set it to manual mode with medium-high heat. Let it preheat for a few minutes.


Prepare the Scallops: 


Rinse the bay scallops under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Dry scallops sear better and have a nicer texture.



Season the Scallops: 


Toss the scallops in olive oil or melted butter. Season with salt and pepper. You can also add minced garlic or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.


Grill the Scallops:


Place on the Grill: Arrange the scallops in a single layer on the preheated grill. Make sure they are not overcrowded.


Cook Time: Close the grill lid and cook for about 2-3 minutes, depending on their size. Bay scallops cook quickly and should be opaque and firm when done.


Finish and Serve:


If you want a bit of extra color and flavor, you can cook them for an additional 30 seconds with the lid open.


Once cooked, remove the scallops from the grill. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.


Tips:


To add a bit of a char, you can increase the heat slightly during the last minute of cooking.


Serve the scallops over pasta, rice, or alongside a fresh salad.


Pair with a light white wine sauce or a squeeze of lemon for extra zest.


Enjoy your perfectly grilled bay scallops! - Source:  Copilot

Ten Former Secretaries of Defense: Involving Military in Elections - Dangerous - Unlawful

Ashton Carter, Dick Cheney, William Cohen, Mark Esper, Robert Gates, Chuck Hagel, James Mattis, Leon Panetta, William Perry and Donald Rumsfeld are the 10 living former U.S. secretaries of defense.


\All ten of these living former defense secretaries signed a letter on January 3, 2021, calling for the peaceful transfer of power without involving the military. Does anyone suppose the felon in chief gave a damn? From their signed letter published in the Washington Post:

Our elections have occurred. Recounts and audits have been conducted. Appropriate challenges have been addressed by the courts. Governors have certified the results. And the electoral college has voted. The time for questioning the results has passed; the time for the formal counting of the electoral college votes, as prescribed in the Constitution and statute, has arrived. 

[snip] 

Efforts to involve the U.S. armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory. 

 [snip] 

We call upon them, in the strongest terms, to do as so many generations of Americans have done before them. This final action is in keeping with the highest traditions and professionalism of the U.S. armed forces, and the history of democratic transition in our great country.


Try to imagine Trump's current nominee, Pete Hegseth, signing such a letter.
