I said this during the Biden Administration and the same truth exists during the Trump Administration: the ONLY WAY to get Putin to seriously negotiate is to give Ukraine everything it needs to stop Russian troops. I urge the Trump Administration to make the decision to win.

When every big decision needs a permission slip from the White House, you don’t get dynamism—you get a command-and-control economy. Fewer experiments, less risk-taking, and living standards that slowly slip behind. It won't happen overnight, but your kids will feel it.

Fun fact: Every other leader of the democratic free world would've arrested Putin on the spot. Instead, America's cowardly pedophile president fawned over, flattered, and celebrated the most murderous dictator of the 21st century — desecrating everything America stands for.

A gutsy column by Bret Stephens -- a good one, too. nytimes.com/2025/08/18/opi…

If socialism is government owning the means of production, wouldn’t the government owning part of Intel be a step toward socialism? Terrible idea. What to know about the US getting a stake in Intel | AP News apnews.com/article/intel-…

Yap yap yap. Do something if you actually care. You have actual power, not just a mouth. Putin spit on your Dear Leader again and Trump turned around and spit on you and your sanctions bill with another "two weeks" for Putin to murder and kidnap more Ukrainians.

A terrible decision bad for almost everyone. Six quick reasons why: 1. Bad for Intel's long-term viability, as politics, not commercial considerations, increasingly drive its decisions. (SOEs are notoriously slow, bloated, & unproductive.) Foreign govts might also target it.

Trump says he's inviting Putin to the FIFA World Cup because "he's been very respectful of me and of our country, but not so respectful of others"

putin could come to the US for the World Cup next summer, says Trump. The US dictator boasts about a photo with the russian dictator. And the Democrats... Where are the Democrats?

Our government should not have ownership in private companies. There are so many specific problems with an arrangement like this, but fundamentally, this is not who we are as a country.

Embarrassing.

Trump: “This misrepresentation raises serious concerns about your truthfulness and conduct.” A convicted felon and a pathological liar says what?

This is the US dollar following this announcement.

Trump: won't sanction Putin for invading Ukraine, will sanction Denmark for defending Greenland.

Trump: “The line is that I'm a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, ‘You know, if that's the case, I'd rather have a dictator.’”

Lori Chavez-DeRemer: "Mr President, I invite you see your big beautiful face on a banner in front of the Department of Labor because you are really the transformational president of the American worker, along with the American flag and President Roosevelt."

If a president can fire a Fed governor on accusation, not cause, monetary policy shifts from the Fed to the White House. Goodbye independent Fed; hello maga Fed, and credibility turns to dust. Posting the entire interview on youtube as an experiment. youtu.be/DpSqbqQde3Y

How rare is it for a grand jury not to indict? "Federal prosecutors pursued over 160,000 cases against defendants in 2009-2010 ... and grand juries only voted not to return an indictment in 11." The sandwich guy is now the second time it's happened with Pirro in recent days.

DOGE has apparently created a cloud database of gov’t data & personal info about almost every American … used AI to mine it … and, evidently, exposed it to grave security vulnerabilities in the process. This isn’t dystopian fiction. This is happening in the United States.

Do you think Putin will be going to The Miss Universe Pageant in November in Moscow - if so, will he become my new best friend?
