Hannity PANICS after Trump's brain fails, suggests backing out of debate
Voices within Donald Trump's circle, including Sean Hannity, are raising speculation about Trump's participation in the upcoming presidential debate with Joe Biden. Hannity's recent comments suggest that skipping the debate might be advisable for Trump, echoing sentiments reportedly circulating close to the former president. This suggestion is seen not just as speculation but as a strategic consideration, given Trump's recent controversial remarks and behavior, such as his disjointed musings during rallies. These incidents have fueled concerns about Trump's ability to maintain focus and coherence in a high-stakes debate against Biden. Hannity's role in advancing this idea on Fox News underscores the seriousness with which it is being considered within Trump's inner circle. With the debate scheduled just 16 days away, the discussion intensifies over whether Trump will ultimately participate or choose to withdraw, while speculations are also abundant about the possibility of Biden backing out.
I tried debating MAGA's, went HORRIBLY WRONG
David took to Twitter this week to engage in a debate about inflation, sharing specific questions about inflation metrics, and raising questions about Trump's proposed solutions, and ideal inflation rates. However, responses from critics often sidestepped these inquiries with criticisms or vague assertions. A user named Nikolai criticized high costs under Biden without addressing David's questions, while others conflated inflation with price levels and advocated for a potentially harmful deflationary spiral. Matthew advocated for zero inflation due to personal Bitcoin investments but also failed to engage substantively with economic realities. Based on this exchange, many critics of Biden’s economic policy don’t understand fundamental market forces and the role of a healthy amount of inflation in a growing economy.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's brain falls out at Trump rally
At a rally in Las Vegas, Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke amid 100-plus degree heat, causing attendees to faint while waiting for Donald Trump. She claimed that driving electric vehicles would worsen high gas prices, which seemed illogical since electric vehicles don't use gas. She also compared Trump to Jesus, saying both were convicted felons, a statement that underscored her devotion to the dear orange leader. Greene's remarks and the event's conditions highlighted the fervent and polarizing nature of the rally, drawing attention to the cult-like devotion surrounding Trump.

Fox News DEVASTATED by strong jobs report
A recent strong jobs report revealed job creation exceeding expectations and sustained low unemployment rates. The economy added 272,000 jobs, significantly surpassing the anticipated 185,000. Despite this positive news, reactions varied across media outlets. Fox News commentators appeared less enthusiastic, almost treating the announcement like bad news, while CNBC responded more positively, emphasizing the benefits of a strong economy for growth, GDP, corporate earnings, and consumer health. Even Newsmax had to acknowledge the positive economic indicators, despite their broader narrative that the economy under Biden is struggling. Historical data indicates that Democratic presidents tend to oversee economic growth, but too much of the public doesn’t know this and wrongly believes Republicans are better at handling economic issues.
