I don’t want to say this was verbiage similar to what slave owners used to say ….

But this is what slave owners used to say.

Trump’s Copper Tariffs Apply to $15 Billion of Products So Far US President Donald Trump’s first wave of copper tariffs will hit imports valued at more than $15 billion last year, highlighting the potential inflationary impact on American manufacturers.

The appeals court UPHOLDS the district court order blocking Los Angeles ICE and CBP from conducting racial profiling. It contains a summary of the criminal tactics of ICE in southern California. DHS is insisting that this was perfectly legal. cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...

I almost laugh. Because what else can you do? Just blowing up the tourism industry.

new video shows the ICE agent who claimed he was randomly "assaulted" by this 4'11" US citizen on her way to work is shown literally picking her up and carrying her away.

Thank you!

Any American who cares about free speech and hates socialism should be eager to welcome Venezuelan refugees with open arms to the US. They are up against a level of oppression that most of us can't even fathom.

10 years in prison for selling a T-shirt of a Hugo Chávez statue getting smashed Two Venezuelan women were convicted of incitement to hatred, treason, and terrorism for printing the shirt.

This is bonkers. Two women have been sentenced to *10 years* in prison in Venezuela—for the crime of...criticizing Hugo Chávez. The man largely responsible for destroying the country. The U.S. has its problems, but I'm profoundly grateful for the First Amendment. reason.com/2025/07/28/1...

The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy (for now) Plus how American professors are fighting back against the AI onslaught, a backlash over AI models in Vogue, and more.

Analysts show that capital expenditures on AI were so big over the last 6 months they added more to the GDP than *all consumer spending*. That growth is offsetting pain from the tariffs and slow job growth.

So the AI bubble may be propping up the whole US economy. What happens if and when it pops?

Years before Air Force base fatality, investigators found 'failure’ in a Sig Sauer gun Documents show that an M18 pistol — the same model recently pulled out of service following an airman’s death in Wyoming — fired without an apparent trigger pull on a base in Italy in 2022.

Records obtained by NHPR through a Freedom of Information Act Request show that years before the recent death of a 21-year old airman on a base in Wyoming, Air Force investigators concluded that an M18 pistol appeared to have fired without a trigger pull on a U.S. base in Italy.

J.P. Morgan's Michael Feroli on Trump BLS chief firing: "The risk of politicizing the data collection process should not be overlooked. ...Having a flawed instrument panel can be just as dangerous as having an obediently partisan pilot," adds private sources cannot bridge the gap.

Meanwhile legitimate historical content gets deprioritized or worse, and we're using childish words like "unalive".

Republican Senator Tells Trump To ‘Grow Up’ After Furious Reaction to Bad Jobs Numbers

at this pt Trump is not meaningfully more popular than he was during his first term. -12 vs -16 net approval. that's likely to lead to a similar electoral backlash in 2026 as 2018. the difference is how Trump is wielding power in the meantime, and how the GOP is capitulating gelliottmorris.com/data

What we know about the Tennessee quadruple murder suspect as manhunt continues Austin Robert Drummond, 28, faces charges in the July deaths of James Matthew Wilson, 21; Adriana Williams, 20; Cortney Rose, 38; and Braydon Williams, 15.

An intense multiagency manhunt continues in western Tennessee for a murder suspect wanted in the deaths of four people after a baby was found abandoned in a person's front yard.

people keep acting like they dont know what trump will do if the economy starts tanking but we do know because he will handle it the same way he handled covid. back then, he saw the numbers as the problem, not covid itself. he will see the bad economic numbers as the problem, not the economy itself.

Cotton's most direct Hatch violation argument is that Smith's pre-election brief was filed too close to voting.

But why was it filed then? Because the Supreme Court's immunity ruling required a judge to determine what evidence would be admissible, which meant that Smith needed to file a brief.

Johan Duran is an absolute menace. I love it.

I have also noticed the uptick in them bragging about being involved in immigration enforcement, which I think has an intended audience of one.

ATF Says Agents Masked in Minneapolis Raid Due to Gas, Not to Shield Identities Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) agents donning masks is not a standard or new operating procedure, despite it happening at a recent raid in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

They also haven't been masking the way ICE does, with one significant exception. thereload.com/atf-says-age...
