re: SIAP: According to ESPN Womems Hockey Team not coming to White House

I don't wanna hear a fricking word from women about "equal pay" in sports. They have a golden opprotunity to promote Women's Hockey and they want to play politics. Instead of going with your male counterparts, displaying your gold medals as a unified team, and trying to get as much out of this victory as you can to promote the sport and national pride, they choose to sit out because of politics. Some women are stupid
How are they supposed to get to DC? Should they have to do it on their own dollar?

This is a very reasonable declination. The women’s team roster is about half pro players and half college players. The ones still in college have already missed 3 weeks of class and the pro players have their league resuming and need to get back to their teams. The statement seems was respectful in the declination and mentioned it was an honor to be invited, so it seems like the door would be open to accept an invite at a later time. The NHL players have their season resuming Wednesday and Thursday too, but their NHL teams can afford to get them back from DC on private jets quickly after their visit.
The women’s players don’t have the same access to private jets and charters that the men’s team do given the economic realities of their sport vs the men’s game
That same poll has Trump 12 points underwater so take from that what you will
It’s less about the trade deficit itself and more about the flow of capital behind it. A trade deficit simply means the U.S. is importing more goods and services than it exports, and the difference is financed by foreign capital flowing into U.S. assets. That capital can show up as purchases of Treasury bonds, equities, real estate, or direct investment in businesses. The key question is not whether the deficit is narrow or wide, but what kind of capital is coming in and how it is being used.
If foreign investment supports productive assets such as businesses, innovation, infrastructure, or capacity expansion, it can strengthen long term growth and national income. If it primarily finances consumption or growing government debt without productivity gains, risks accumulate over time. So yes, it matters, but the composition and deployment of capital are far more important than the headline trade deficit number alone.

It’s the reason the bottom is falling out on the President’s approval rating. The job market is terrible.
I thought having a lifted truck was the universal sign of having low-T and a small penis - and also being horrific with money

He wants this issue out in the open so the American People can see the arguments that Dems make AGAINST secure elections. Pretty smart actually.
The argument against is pretty simple. The Federal Government should not be interfering in State run election processes per the Constitution of the United States

Jeremiah 29:7 was written to Jewish exiles living in pagan Babylon, not to establish a theocracy, but to tell believers how to live faithfully in a non-Jewish nation. If anything, it assumes God’s people are living under a government that is not their religion.
And 1 Timothy 2:1-3 tells Christians to pray for rulers so they can live peaceful lives. It does not say rulers must enforce Christianity. It says believers should pray, not legislate doctrine.
If those verses prove America is a Christian nation, then Babylon was a Jewish nation too.
The United States was founded with:
- No established church in the Constitution
- A First Amendment prohibiting religious establishment
- Explicit separation of church and state in both text and early writings
Christian citizens? Absolutely.
Christian heritage? Yes, in part.
Christian nation by law or design? No.
Ironically, the verses you cited support religious freedom and civic peace, not state-mandated Christianity.
If someone wants America to be Christian, that’s a political opinion. But quoting letters written to persecuted minorities living under foreign empires doesn’t turn that opinion into constitutional fact.

The realities of what AI is about to do to the global economy over the next decade are beginning to set in
You can see it in tracking the consumer confidence numbers over the last few months
At least the democrats left it up to the voters in CA (and will in VA) via referendum. The GOP has just acted via the legislatures without giving voters a say in the process

Undoubtedly it is with all the leftists filing constant suits against every single move Trump makes. Somehow this pressure wasn't there when previous presidents deported illegals and made executive orders.
This is largely the result of the SCOTUS banning national injunctions.

Pay increases are not outstripping inflation. AI is different from industrialization in that it is the first time humanity is building machines that will outsmart our race
This is a very well written post
quote:
That's about the only explanation possible, at least if the next month’s data confirms the GDP growth. If it is true, then we are indeed late on Fed cuts. But if we cut the Fed rate we had better embrace budget austerity or else we will ignite inflation.
How are rate cuts going to thwart the impacts of AI on the labor markets?
quote:
This is a puzzling data set. We are having a boom in GDP growth but it is jobless. The GDP growth, with inflation running a little high at 2.7%, suggests we stand pat of fed rates. The joblessness suggests cuts. I don’t recall ever having seen this, and I’m starting to believe that Bessent might be correct and the GDP boom is due to historic productivity gains.
I don’t think it is that puzzling. It is pointing to the initial impacts of AI adoption in the American workforce
Where have you seen inflation south of 2%

Wouldn’t the DOJ be the ones bringing these “obstruction of justice against ICE officials cases”
He was on his 5th term. They couldn’t have been that bad
