Economists PANICKING about Trump recession
Economists warn that Donald Trump's trade wars, budget cuts, and ideological attacks on federal agencies could trigger a recession. Tariffs on key trading partners are disrupting supply chains and job markets, while cuts to federal programs create uncertainty that stifles investment and consumer spending. Despite repeated warnings, Trump is doubling down on chaos as a governing strategy, putting the economy at serious risk.
They threatened me with $150,000 and I had to back off
Years ago, David faced a legal threat from an elected official over a baseless defamation claim, forcing him to remove content due to high legal costs. His lawyer believed he would win, but fighting the case could have cost $100,000 upfront. This highlights how right-wing figures use frivolous lawsuits to intimidate independent media, a tactic that could escalate under a Trump administration.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump & Elon Musk QUIETLY DELETE their biggest "spending cuts"
Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s touted spending cuts have turned out to be exaggerated or false. An $8 million ICE contract was misreported as an $8 billion cut, and a $655 million USAID reduction was counted three times. A supposed $232 million Social Security cut was actually just $560,000, and a $1.9 billion Treasury contract had already been canceled before their involvement. These errors suggest not just sloppy bookkeeping but a deliberate effort to inflate savings that don’t hold up under scrutiny.

RFK FACEPLANTS in first major public test
A measles outbreak in Texas, primarily affecting the Mennonite community, has resulted in 124 cases, 20 hospitalizations, and two deaths. The outbreak is linked to low vaccination rates, yet officials downplayed its severity rather than emphasizing the importance of the highly effective measles vaccine. Measles is highly contagious and can lead to severe complications, including pneumonia and encephalitis, making widespread vaccination crucial for herd immunity.

People who voted for trump are now trying to distance themselves from him, mainly because of the new King Musk taking over the financial system of the largest treasury in the world. And KING MUSK is taking money out of their pockets while their savior Trump is setting back and letting it happen.
The TRUMPETTS are just discovering that by listening only to his hateful comments and not the damaging facts of what he was actually going to do to this country, and believing a pathological liar they have hurt themselves more than they bargained for.
Instead of listening to Jesus when he said; "Lord they know not what they do".
Well they have done it and they will have to suffer the consequences.
