His desire to run again has been known for a awhile here. IMO he can if wants too but I don’t think anyone other than the most ardent fanboy would vote for him. Everyone knows our ‘appointed’ and ‘unelected president’ is Susan Rice. She’s setting foreign policy Biden is just used as a prop.

Heard in the news that Steve Bannon, Donald Trump's former adviser, has apparently changed his mind and will now testify before Congress

Now everyone is expecting him to reveal some juicy stuff.

No, that's not what happened Markus. Trump wrote Bannon a rather nice letter encouraging him to testify and removing his claim of executive privilege. He didn't just change his mind.

The letter:

Jobless claims edge up to highest since January; planned layoffs soar; trade deficit hits 2022 low

Layoffs destroy peoples lives and small business. But believe it or not it’s a great way to help stem inflation.

At least that’s what the elected democrat from California and inside traders Nancy and her husband Paul Pelosi who spent 4th of July on a beach in Italy think.

Claims that US oil reserve exports harm consumers are misleading. I don’t see anyone here or on social media arguing how it harms consumers and as you say “to foment rage”. Not even the fox business report Otto linked to argues that. Weirder yet after actually reading the link you posted even those French fact checkers don’t even argue over claims of the sale harming consumers.

I think we can all agree such a stunt may lower prices a bit. But that will only last as long as we have strategic oil reserves to sell. After that’s gone what’s the next gimmick Democrats will use to appease mid term voters? I always thought the whole idea behind strategic oil reserves is to prepare in the event of a national emergency. But when it’s sold for the purpose of political party gain to appease voters and the personal gain, nepotism, supporting the crackhead son of the current President. It places our own national security in jeopardy.

An Open Letter Denouncing the Attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas

White progressives do not have the moral authority to excommunicate a black man from his race because they disagree with him.
And those – regardless of background – who join in the charade or remain silent are guilty of enabling this abuse.
We, the undersigned, condemn the barrage of racist, vicious, and ugly personal attacks that we are witnessing on Clarence Thomas – a sitting Supreme Court justice. Whether it is calling him a racist slur, an “Uncle Tom” or questioning his “blackness” over his jurisprudence, the disparagement of this man, of his faith and of his character, is abominable.
Regardless of where one stands on Justice Thomas’ personal or legal opinions, he is among the pantheon of black trailblazers throughout American history and is a model of integrity, scholarship, steadfastness, resilience, and commitment to the Constitution of the United States of America. For three decades Justice Thomas has served as a model for our children. He has long been honored and celebrated by black people in this country and his attackers do not speak for the majority of blacks.
He is entirely undeserving of the vitriol directed at him. Character assassination has become too convenient a tool for eviscerating those who dare dissent from the prevailing agenda, especially when it is a black man who is dissenting.
This is not about the content of the court’s decisions or Justice Thomas’ personal views; some of the undersigned agree with his judicial decisions and some do not. We speak out – as black people and Americans – to condemn these attacks and support Justice Thomas, because to remain silent would be to implicitly endorse these poisonous schemes as well as his destruction.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City residents are accustomed to warnings about all kinds of potential threats — severe weather, public health, mass shootings.

But a new PSA on surviving a nuclear attack has rattled some cages.

Released this week by the city’s emergency management agency, the 90-second video advises citizens to stay indoors and wash off any radioactive dust or ash. It opens on a computer-generated street, devoid of life. Damaged skyscrapers can be seen in the background.

Looking into the camera, a spokesperson says: “So there’s been a nuclear attack. Don’t ask me how or why. Just know that the big one has hit." :O:

Many New Yorkers were left asking, “Why now?”

Christina Farrell, the city's emergency management deputy commissioner, said the video isn’t tied to any specific threats. She said it's about raising awareness of something most people haven't given much thought.

“There’s no overarching reason why this is the time we sent this out,” Farrell told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “It’s just one tool in the toolbox to be prepared in the 21st century."

She said the agency's goal is to empower people regarding a scary subject, and despite the mixed reactions to the video, “people have thanked us that we are approaching this topic.”

“I don’t know if there’s ever the perfect moment to talk about nuclear preparedness,” she added, saying city officials have discussed implementing nuclear guidelines for quite some time. New York’s emergency response program, Ready New York, has been around since 2003.

Mayor Eric Adams has said he doesn't believe the video was alarmist, telling reporters Tuesday “I’m a big believer in better safe than sorry.”
