Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K.

This is inexcusable. She should resign.

πŸ‘ Walk different areas if you haven’t already. Enjoy different scenery. Also try some light weight training. Buy 5 and 8 pound dumbbells and do some basic lifts with them at home. Weight training will take off more pounds and help build some muscle tone.

🚨This story is going to be HUGE.

China is going to shutdown key US industries.

Without rare earth minerals, you can’t build cars, computers, weapons or medical scanners. And China controls 90% of key minerals.

There’s a lack of appreciation how crippling this situation could become very quickly.

President Trump’s 25% tariffs on imported vehicles remain in effect despite a pullback this week on other country-based levies.

Analysts are expecting massive global implications for the automotive industry due to the policies.

The market is crashing, a recession is looming, and the country is more isolated than ever after Trump declared a trade war on nearly all our allies β€” meanwhile, he’s at his Doral Golf Club in Miami for the Saudi-owned LIV golf tournament.

What a disgrace.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Whirlpool Corp. announces Iowa's largest layoff of 2025 in Amana manufacturing facility A statement from Whirlpool said the layoffs are the result of reduced consumer demand for products made in Amana, primarily refrigeration units.

This is an example on how Tariffs backfire. Whirlpool is laying off over 650 workers at its manufacturing plant in Iowa due to a slump in demand:

You need to keep a close eye on this. With this free trade deal China just took control of economic policy in the Far East:

I found a β€˜dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle β€œDead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

Musk’s tech bros said this guy was dead and cut off his Social Security benefits. He was not dead.
