I was watching CNBC, the Financial Channel, this morning when I heard some scary news as they were discussing the latest employment and financial figures.

 The guest, a leading economist, said 90% of his colleagues say they don’t trust the numbers coming out of the Trump administration.

This is scary.

These are the statistics that determine interest rates and government financial policy, and we’re being told that these numbers are being ‘fudged’ by the Trumpies, to make the Trumpies look better and alter financial policy.

So I Googled it, and found out that it’s true. Thanks again, you MAGA Mega morons….

In a recent Reuters poll (July 11-24, 2025), 
89 out of 100 top economists expressed concern about the quality of official U.S. economic data, according to Reuters. Forty-one of these economists described themselves as "very concerned". These concerns focus primarily on the potential for future data releases to be less reliable due to staff reductions and questionable standards at federal agencies responsible for economic statistics.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

Not sure why,

BUT, am still wearing the necklace. Has been a tradition, for over 30 years, to wear the necklace, 'for awhile', until I lose the feeling, of the beach, in Mexico. Can't say why, but, still have it on. "Tis a sad day, when I take it off, and am not ready to go there, yet. Don't ask. 'Tis an old tradition...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
