Purely Politics

A snapshot in time like polls. Billionaire says he will cash out of stock marker if Harris wins as the country will tank.

California prioritizes fish over farmers and their ability to provide us with fruit and vegetables! Just one more agency that has usurped legislative authority away from Congress.

From the Wall Street Journal:

"California is awash in water after record-breaking rains vanquished years of crippling drought. That sounds like great news for farmers. But Ron McIlroy, whose shop here sells equipment for plowing fields, knows otherwise. “I’ll be lucky if I survive this year,” he said. Illustrating how broken California’s vast water-delivery system is, many farmers in Central Valley, America’s fruit and vegetable basket, will get just 40% of the federal water they are supposed to this year. Why? Endangered fish. The pumps that transport water from wet Northern California to the semiarid south have been drastically slowed to protect threatened migrating smelt, measuring up to 3 inches, and steelhead. That means growers in the U.S.’s richest farming area are having to plant fewer crops even as they are surrounded by water."

 

Good job Jean, posting links to combat the shitter (X) posts that has no fact checking capabilities.

Old mister free-speech, elon musk has evolved to working overtime to electing a guy who will give him even more and bigger tax breaks and more government subsidies.

What's so tragic is the pawns aren't aware how they are being played.

 

What does this have to do with the big faucet??

 

The point is, the water is there and available, but the regulations are preventing it from being used!

Turning the faucet means eliminating regulations.

 

If you watched Trump's whole speech you would know Jean. But just like every liberal your hate runs so deep you are not open to any other ideas except your own.

 

Just curious, can you speak/post without using foul language? Do you think it's impressive?

 

And you place your trust in someone who talks about a "big faucet!"

 

Read Tom's post Jean. Can you say metaphor?

 

And you are open to any other ideas except your own? You have turned TOSC into your own personal blog spouting how you feel and any other members of the group who try to answer or post something related to Sun City, get laminated by Josie P. alias the Happy Hippie who methinks isn't too happy.

 

Good Lord Jean. I started the political posts in the NON SC forum. Maybe, just maybe if Bill's first post to me wasn't so hate filled, (it was 12/6/23, look it up) and maybe if Dave didn't chime in with another hate post, and maybe if you all did not follow suit by attacking me constantly to the point where there was an implied death threat all in the name of your Lord and Master it wouldn't have been like that. I don't back down easily. Bill chased a lot of folks off that site with his shit sandwich comment and calling Trump supporters morons in 2016 and 20. And yes Jean I did a search as Bill always claims he never posts any nasty comments on here.

 

So, how many times do we have to hear about Bill's first post to you? I'm sure it's been more than 48. Or Dave's posts? Or "all of us" attacking you to the point that there was an implied death threat (I must have missed that one)? My own personal opinion is that YOU have chased a lot more folks off of this site than Bill did.

You are not the only one who knows how to search, Josie. Search how many times you have to get the last word in.

And what does designer dogs have to do with politics?

 

And this is someone you would vote for??

Trump, the GOP nominee for president, endorsed Robinson for governor in March, ahead of North Carolina's primary election. At the time, the former president compared Robinson to civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., telling supporters at a rally in Greensboro that Robinson is "Martin Luther King on steroids."

"I think you're better than Martin Luther King," Trump added. "I think you are Martin Luther King times two."

Former President Donald Trump has yet to speak publicly following CNN's explosive report on Trump's endorsee for North Carolina's gubernatorial race, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, which resurfaced comments the Republican nominee made on a pornography website over a decade ago.

The report on Thursday claims that Robinson posted messages on the adult website "Nude Africa" from 2008 to 2012—years before Robinson was elected lieutenant governor in 2022. The disturbing messages linked to Robinson, who is Black, include the conservative reportedly describing himself as a "black NAZI!" and more graphic comments regarding sexuality: "I like watching tranny on girl porn! ... It takes the man out while leaving the man in! And yeah I'm a 'perv' too!"

Robinson, the GOP nominee for North Carolina's gubernatorial race in the fall, has faced pressure from within his own party to drop out of the election by the end of the day Thursday. The first batch of absentee ballots are set to be mailed out on Friday.

Does Newsweek satisfy your opinion of who I can quote, Josie?

So and clinton screwed monica in the oval office with a cigar. Biden showered with his teenage daughter. Kamala screwed willie brown, 30 years her senior who was married, jill biden had an affair with joe when she was married to her first husband, doug emhoff got the nanny pregnant when he was married to his first wife, tim walz claimed he fought in iraq. What's your point.

 

I am answering your questions. I never stated I was the only person who knew how to search. I would like to know why you lied about it tho.

not a darn thing. I change my signature line often. I follow the Humane Society and that was their tag line today.

 

News Trump Doesn’t Want You to Hear
by Dan Rather
Donald Trump doesn’t want you to focus on the economy, because the news is very good. Instead he is talking about anything else, including bald-faced lies, to keep the focus on him and his faux outrage. Filed under you-can’t-make-it-up, Republicans are blaming “Democratic rhetoric” for the latest apparent assassination attempt on Trump. All the while Trump and JD Vance are making up stories out of whole cloth that are inciting so much hate and potential violence that an Ohio city is virtually on lockdown.

Here now is some actual news Trump hopes you won’t hear. Too bad.

Yesterday the Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the first time in four and a half years. It did so because inflation is under control, having fallen for 11 consecutive months, and to encourage more job growth. I say “more job growth” because the Republicans would have you believe we are teetering on the precipice of recession, when in fact unemployment is at 4%. The job market is growing, just not at the same rate it has been.

When announcing the rate cut, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said that “our economy is strong overall and has made significant progress toward our goals over the past two years.”

Republicans’ reaction to the cut was as expected. They did not praise the Fed or celebrate the good economic news. Instead, they ranted over the timing, saying it was designed to help Kamala Harris’s campaign. Another distraction.

Powell dismissed their argument. “We do our work to serve all Americans. We’re not serving any politician, any political figure, any cause, any issue, nothing. It’s just maximum employment and price stability on behalf of all Americans,” he said. Remember, too, that Powell was a Trump appointee.

During the Biden-Harris administration,14.8 million jobs have been created, including a whopping 800,000 manufacturing jobs. The sharp increase in the manufacturing sector has added an estimated $12 trillion to the U.S. economy. Over the same time period, 10 million new small businesses were started. The stock market is at historic highs, which in turn has meant good things for folks’ 401(k)s. Gas prices are trending downward; the nationwide average for a gallon of regular unleaded is now less than $3. Mortgage rates and car loans have started falling, and this rate cut will continue that trend.


Trump seems incapable of talking about his economic plans. When his campaign has promised a press conference or speech on the economy, Trump stays on message for about a New York minute and then pivots to his lie du jour.

One can piece together Trump’s ideas from various things he has said during this long campaign. Economists across the political spectrum have denounced most of it. Desmond Lachman of the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute calls Trump’s economic ideas “dangerous.”

“There is every reason to fear that if Trump were to be elected and to implement his proposed economic policies, the American electorate might soon have buyer’s remorse as it bore the economic costs,” Lachman wrote.

Trump’s favorite plan for the economy is a huge, unfunded tax cut for corporations and wealthy individuals. That went so well the last time. His 2017 tax cut coupled with major Trump-approved government spending increases resulted in an almost 50% increase in the budget deficit, of $1 trillion. But you ain’t seen nothing yet. The Penn Wharton budget model predicts that Trump’s new tax cuts would add more than $5 trillion to the budget deficit over 10 years. That’s five times more than the last one.

Trump also wants to impose a huge tariff on imported goods. The Peterson Institute of International Economics calculated that the tariffs would cost an average American household $2,600 a year. Vice President Harris rightly called this a “Trump tax” during the debate. Goldman Sachs said the tariffs would significantly increase inflation.

And if you think imposing tariffs makes no economic sense, how about Trump’s plan to bring food prices down by restricting food imports? Yup, Trump believes that reducing supply will somehow lower prices. Economics 101 says otherwise.

And then there is his promise to deport 10 million immigrants. Beside the moral issues with this racist proposal, the mass deportation would cause a significant slowdown in our economy, including a spike in wages and prices.

 

Not surprising at all.
