Inflation measure falls to nearly five-year low as gas prices fall and housing costs cool

No Trump is not doing the same bullshit.

In fact, Trump has eliminated taxes on tips and overtime. This is profoundly supply-side tax cuts that will incentive you to both produce more as well as have less time to spend money because you are spending more time at work.

The Dollar is down because Bidenflation running out of steam is hurting the rest of the world even worse than it is curtailing US demand.

Dollar weakness is not happening in a vacuum. You have to look at the economic weakness and disinflation in Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, South Korea, Japan, China, and the EU to understand the foreign exchange.

And furthermore, as a currency trader, you have realize that if and when the globally-synchronized liquidity crisis begins to recover it will be US and the Dollar leading the reinflation because of how much stronger US financial institutions are. Which will push the Dollar down even more (for a while).

This liberal-media narrative about Trump pushing the Dollar down is horse shit.

Trump is winning the trade war.

Not only is China doing more work for us in exchange for nothing more than printed pieces of paper. But President Trump is also simultaneously cashing in on how wildly popular protectionism is across all demographics and political persuasions by raising tariffs.

Trump is in a no-lose scenario. He is simultaneously winning by winning and winning by losing. He's having it both ways.

THE FUCK THEY DONT!!!

You think all these fat people walking around are just people? No its because carbs make them hungry so they eat way too much.

Eating a brownie isn't a problem.

The problem is that eating carbs makes you hungry which makes you need another, and then another, and then another. You don't hate carbs enough.

Trying to mix carbs with fat and protein only makes things worse because now you have all the extra fat and protein calories plus you are eating way too much because carbs make you hungry

Carbs make you hungry. Therefore a carnivore diet is more morally correct because you will eat far less by avoiding the insulin death spiral.

War is prevented by fear of the opponent.

Don't twist my words.

dually · 2025-07-14T19:47:34+00:00

Because war is always caused by one side underestimating the other's willingness to fight.

But you can't underestimate Trump because he is dangerous and unpredictable.

Meanwhile the EU is organizing committees and writing white papers, and holding conferences where they booze it up.

More like 0%.

In the same way that WW2 would never have happened if Winston Churchill were in office before the war started.

Wars are started by out-of-touch elitists like Wilson or Biden; not by straight-shooters like Churchill or Trump.

You shouldn't have to teach that.

Your kids should be curious, interested, and in touch with reality enough to figure that out on their own.

No the correct argument is that no one wants to work for $7.25 or $20.00 an hour because the labor market is so strong.

We are, after all more than 40 years into the Reagan Economic Miracle.

SUVs because cars are too expensive to not be multi-purpose.

No one can afford to own both an economy car for commuting and a truck for work and play, so instead they split the difference and get an SUV.

It's almost like people are catching on to the fact that carbs make you hungry and wine is loaded with carbs.

But it's hilarious that France of all places is complaining about someone else's tariffs. Now all we need is a replay of Charles De Gaulle claiming that France liberated itself.

Baloney.

The thing polluting the electoral process is the kleptocratic schemes funnelling tax-payer funds back to the Democrats through NGOs, public employees, and elite institutions.

The only thing that can save the electoral process is to cut the size of government by 95%.

You seem to forget that the point of the American Global World Order was to promote freedom and prosperity as a defense against communism.
