Almost always, when someone of note is being accused of a misdeed, and he says 'make no mistake, this isn't about me,' it is, indeed, about him.
I can agree with this. Closing the southern border- smart. Kicking out anyone with ANY violation to law- agree. But also agree with his new position of law abiding people having some kind of work/live pass. MAGA cool w this change?
If you are not a fan of Trump’s, watch this clip from tonight’s 60 Minutes… and know that MAGA is absolutely seething. It’s a remarkable answer, and just maybe a watershed American moment…

They called for a boycott of six Jewish-owned Philly businesses. Supporters showed up instead, and the lines were two hours long. Our on-scene report, link in comments:

Trump: I think that’s something that’s actually doable.
Q: Doable to create some kind of legal status for the landscapers?
Trump: Yeah. When you go into a hotel and you have a woman that’s worked there as a… You know, as a maid, as a cleaner, as a this, as a that, as a waitress—a lot of good things, great jobs. And all of a sudden, they’re being taken out of the country. It’s tough. It’s a tough thing.
But there’s a group of people that I would say on the sort of pretty far right that would like everybody taken out.
Q: Do any of those people work in your administration? Are they in the building with us right now?

Absolutely hilarious outcome in philly. Antisemitism failed today. Bagels won.
They tried to beat us.
They failed.
Let’s eat!
A tale as old as time.
Philadelphia not tolerating antisemitism —— heading down to these restaurants this weekend.
Wow! Philadelphia is rocking it against antisemitism and hate! Thousands of people are out supporting these restaurants. It’s incredible. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna be an Eagles fan but today I am green with envy! #Huda!

Ok America, where are we on age limits. This man needs to retire and be at home. Who is pushing him to do this??? It’s sad and wrong. And please don’t compare to others, they were all too old too. AGE LIMITS

More of this from all of us. ♥️
Laura Failner is a SkyWest flight attendant. On July 7th, she witnessed this moment of kindness.
"I love looking for the good in the world! As I flew up to Washington today, I had this cute little 94-year-old lady get on my plane. She was frail and had a hard time getting back to her seat. There was a bit of confusion about where she was supposed to be seated. In first-class, this wonderful gentleman saw her plight and flagged me down. He said, "can you please get her and put her in my seat, and I will take hers." He walked back with me to get her and take her to first class. She was so touched. The woman gave him a big hug and said, "Never in my 94 years has someone done that for me. Thank you, young man." She had tears of gratitude. It was amazing how his thoughtful act changed the attitude of everyone on the flight. May we all look for the little things we can do to help others around us and show kindness. In this crazy world, let's all try to be the good." ❤️❤️❤️

Interesting. Desantis admitting this administration is corrupt
Governor DeSantis says the NUMBER ONE reason Republicans lost is corruption like Susie Wiles lobbying schemes, insider trading and prediction markets.
DeSantis says you are going to find out the extent of it when Democrats start investigating.
“Think about it. You show up to Congress. You've never displayed any investment acumen in your life. All of a sudden, you're meeting Warren Buffett with this suspiciously timed trade.
Oh! A company that is actually under one of your committee's jurisdictions. That is just something. And then you see all the other things. And you're going to see a lot more in the news, I think, in the next few months. And that's going to be the focal point, probably, of the Democrats' investigations and oversight.
But the reality is that was the number one issue that voters thought was important. It was even more important, if you look at the polling, than economy. And that was very high, too. And then it was just general lack of confidence in Republicans beyond that.
I get elected to Congress in 2012, sold the stocks. I’ve never traded a stock in elected office. Why? Because I don't want to be in a situation where I do something and then, oh, you did this and you voted this way, you did that. I’ve never done it.
I declined the pension as a member of Congress and the health care. In governor, we've increased pay for state employees a bunch of times. I never took it for governor. My salary is the same as it was there.
The idea that public service is a way to leverage power to enrich yourself was anathema to what our founders believed.
And so I've tried to lead by example with how I behave. But what you're seeing in Washington is clearly not consistent with what our founders believe was necessary to kind of create a foundation for a successful republic. So I think we should ban the congressional stock trading.
You should not allow them to be making money on prediction markets. You should not be able to allow the way the lobbyists and everything happens. So there's definitely things that need to be cleaned up.
Republicans should be leading this. Weren't we the ones saying, drain the swamp not a few years ago? And yet the Democrats now are able to take that and they're making hay out of it. But that was a big issue.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.”
Wise words from a Fox Business Consultant.
Interesting anecdote: Someone I know met w Trump recently before the midterms and came away bewildered; he spoke a lot about the ballroom not a lot about stuff that matters. Is he losing it? People I know who know him say he’s a ball of fire, endless energy and is still sharp mentally. But he still might be losing it in this sense: He has no feel for what animates most voters. He is clueless about their real concerns and the concerns of most people outside his base who dont get off attending one of his rallies. It’s sad because he did a lot of great stuff IMHO; closed the border, ended the noxious cult of DEI. He made sure crypto wasn’t a target of endless lawfare; he cut taxes and regulations. Yet he’s losing his feel for what people care about. It was evident in small ways early on particularly when it came to the no win push for tariffs after being elected to make life more affordable for average people and then never fully reversing course. We have a strong economy according to top line numbers as we saw today. But an average people continue to get hosed not just at the pump but when they buy anything. Ditto for small businesses. And Trump never saw it coming
