“Biden to raise taxes by 3 Trillion Dollars.” Actually, it will be much more than that, and much of it on nonsense. Markets and your 401k’s will CRASH. Jobs will disappear!

Very excited to see @SeanHannity’s long awaited new book, 'Live Free or Die: America (and the World) on the Brink' which will be released on Tuesday, August 4th. Sean is a Great American Patriot. Make sure to get your copy today!

A great new book, “Defender in Chief: Donald Trump's Fight for Presidential Power”, written by celebrated constitutional scholar, John Yoo, is now available. Thanks so much John – greatly appreciate your support and words of wisdom!
 
I actually agree with this. Too much income disparity. Changes must be made, and soon!

Peggy Noonan, a “Concast” MSDNC @WSJ puppet, doesn’t have a clue, and hasn’t for many years. Never got the “Trump thing”. She plays right into the hands of the stupid people!

Wrong! We have more cases because we have tested far more than any other country, 60,000,000. If we tested less, there would be less cases. How did Italy, France & Spain do? Now Europe sadly has flare ups. Most of our governors worked hard & smart. We will come back STRONG!

Dr. Fauci explains why the U.S. has continued to see a surge in cases while European countries have seen a sharp decrease.
He says most European countries shut their economy by 95%, while functionally the U.S. only shut its economy down by 50%.

And nobody points out that these imaginary hundreds of millions of voters voters do not exist. The Trump lot just accept it.

It amuses me that the US was supposed to be the sole remaining world super power.

Not anymore. It is merely a russian puppet at this point.

I think it has been amply demonstrated by the events of the past several years that for roughly forty percent of them ... at least ... the answer to that question is a resounding "Never!!!"

Somebody please tell Congressman Clyburn, who doesn’t have a clue, that the chart he put up indicating more CASES for the U.S. than Europe, is because we do MUCH MORE testing than any other country in the World. If we had no testing, or bad testing, we would show very few CASES...

.....Our massive testing capability, rather than being praised, is used by the Lamestream Media and their partner, the Do Nothing Radical Left Democrats, as a point of scorn. This testing, and what we have so quickly done, is used as a Fake News weapon. Sad!

Jake, this wasn’t a Trump Rally, but rather a very successful gathering of the great Sheriffs and Law Enforcement (of Florida) who gave me their unequivocal ENDORSEMENT. No Defund the Police here. Best Wishes!

I too once had a brain fart that made me type that 'Trump beat Obama'. It was based on a monlogue by Sam Harris about how Trump has gotten revenge on Obama for humiliating him at the correspondents' dinner, and for, as I put it earlier, presidenting while black, and doing so much for diversity and civil rights. As Harris put it, come November Trump got to take this man and show him the door. Imagine how his ego must have felt. So I certainly understand the idea of 'Trump beating Obama'. In a way, he really did. The White House was once again staffed by white men, and his ideas of unity and reconcilliation were torn up.

I suppose Donald could have had a similar brain fart. Then again, as POTUS, he's supposed to put some more thought into his Tweets, and probably run them past someone before sending them, to catch typos, mistakes, and poorly thought out wording.

Or, you know, just not use Twitter as the primary means of communication at all.

The irony of these brain farrs is that one of the president's campaign tacks is that Biden has brain problems. Remember a couple of weeks ago when he tried to make a big deal of the fact that Biden said 120 million had died from COVID? This was all signs of how Biden was mentally challenged. Despite the fact that Biden immediately corrected himself. The president even shared a video that deliberately cut out the part where Biden corrected himself.

I'm sorry, but if your campaign approach is that your opponent can't think straight, to the point where you distort his errors, then no, a brain fart is not excusable.

I also confused the issue as Huawei being denied placement on the approved equipment list for infrastructure contracts is the result of a process and has avenues for appeal/court challenge.

An EO banning a private company outright is yet another pandora's box. If you can do that, can an executive banish a flesh and blood person by name in a document that carries force of law? Can the executive just go ahead and assign someone to identify people to banish?

Good point, I am not in agreement with the government dictating what is acceptable and what is not in regards to what you stated.

While this may be aimed at his base, I suspect it is Trump reassuring Trump.

He can't call it a Trump rally, look how few people were there:

Twitter: A wider shot shows more Trump supporters bunched at the front of empty rows of guard rails

Look at the second image.

That's hardware, not an ap. Don't you have any signs on power poles over there announcing the 'coming of 5G to this pole'?

My neighbors have already run through the CT about the dangerous EM waves they will soon be emitting.

5G? Here on the other side of the sound we're lucky to get a signal! Of any G! Verizon wanted to put a tower on the other side of the main road from me and got shot down by the county AND the HOA! We're all here because we're not all there!
Oh, and then there are the smart meters. Going to fry our brains, not getting them.

Private companies used for espionage? History is replete with examples... most of them in the USA... just a couple examples.

United Fruit Company: The Dulles brothers owned part of the company as UFC was used to overthrow a duly elected President (Jacobo Arbenz)in Guatemala.

Not actually espionage, just old-fashioned imperialism. Do you know of General Butler?
I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer; a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

Quite a guy. British Imperial generals (and French) could have said much the same, but I'm not aware of any who did.


Merchants have certainly been used as a source of intelligence. Walsingham, the Elizabethan spy-master, had a network of such sources which spanned Europe, and a system which could channel every snippet of gossip back to his office. He also subverted mail and courier systems, which is where a Huawei parallel comes in. His people were taught how to open and re-seal mail, and any cyphered material was shipped off to his team at Cambridge. On occasion black material was slipped in. Current concerns are in a similar vein.

To maintain the pristine Georgianness of Bath Spa all towers must be clad in Bath Stone. OK, I exaggerate slightly, but I've seen grown IT guys driven to carpet-biting frustration over there.
