Tariffs..

President Donald Trump’s sweeping new tariffs are raking in unprecedented sums for the federal government, so much, in fact, that a top budget watchdog says the revenue rivals the impact of creating a brand-new payroll tax or slashing the entire military budget by nearly one-fifth.

These are rough estimates, to be sure, conveyed to communicate the magnitude of the tariffs, not precise contributions to the budget. 

But can these massive cash flows, already topping tens of billions monthly, truly put a dent in America’s $37 trillion national debt.

Yes it well.  Just a thought.

Wowee..

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out after a news outlet reported her net worth.

In a Sunday post on X, Greene called out Bezinga for reporting on her financial situation.

"Greene's net worth has reportedly increased from $700,000 before she joined Congress to approximately $22 million today," the report said. 

 "My hard earned wealth, that I am thankful and proud of HAS NOT in any way come from politics!!!" she exclaimed. "As a matter of fact I made a hell of a lot more money and my life was WAY EASIER before I entered public life."

What about the rest of the Congress men and women?   Just a thought.

The Mediterranean diet emphasizes plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and nuts. 

It also recommends healthy fats like olive oil and fatty fish, and moderate amounts of seafood. Red meat and dairy should be consumed in low amounts. Other aspects of the diet include: 

Seasoning: Using herbs and spices instead of salt 

Meat: Eating mostly white meat like chicken and fish.

The Mediterranean diet is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers, as well as improved cognitive function and a reduced risk of cognitive decline.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-M.A., is backing New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, and says she sees the self-described democratic-socialist as the future of the Democratic party.

When asked if the Democratic party is what Mamdani’s socialist policies should look like, Warren responded with, “you bet,” while speaking to press at an affordable childcare event in New York City on Monday.

“New York City is the place to start the conversation for Democrats on how affordability is the central issue, the central reason to be a Democrat,” Warren said. 
Warren added that she thinks “Republicans are right to tie this race to the national race.”

Warren voiced her support for Mamdani earlier that day during an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, saying that Mamdani’s key to winning the Democratic nomination was focusing on affordability.

Comment:

If the Mandani is the future of the Democratic Party, then what is the future looks like?  Just a thought.

Inside..

 

Israel established a network of Iranian dissidents and non-Iranian recruits over the course of years for its assassinations of senior officials in a June war and total destruction of Iran’s anti-aircraft defenses, according to a ProPublica investigation.  

The Israeli air force conducted reconnaissance flights inside Iran in advance of the conflict to ensure the eventual safe penetration of its airspace and identify weaknesses in Iranian air defense systems, the report said.  

The espionage operation involved a vast network of local recruits who were activated on the second day of the war, June 14, to launch coordinated attacks to disable air defenses and missile launchers.” 

ProPublica cited a source as saying. “Most were near Tehran, in areas where the Israeli air force had not previously operated.”  

According to the report, Israeli-trained commandos recruited from Iran and neighboring countries were deployed across the country to carry out the attacks from within. Israeli intelligence used front companies to ship the necessary equipment into Iran legally, it added.
