    Trump thinks his son Don Jr. is married.

    He's currently engaged to Guilfoyle, who is known as the screaming banshee after her screaming 2020 RNC convention speech.

    Guilfoyle was once married to Gavin Newsom who at the time of their marriage was mayor of SF. He later became governor of California. She was also a on-camera personality at Fox.

    Marla Maples could also serve as the stunt lady for Trump during the rest of the 2024 campaign.

    Melania has been absent. Trump said in September 2023 that Melania would soon be on the campaign trail with him. In her usual ambiguous self, in spring 2024 Melania said "Stay tuned!"

    2024 GOP platform.

    It reads the same as a Trump rant in all caps, as expected. The RNC turned itself over to Trump.


    1. SEAL THE BORDER, AND STOP THE MIGRANT INVASION

    2. CARRY OUT THE LARGEST DEPORTATION OPERATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY

    3. END INFLATION, AND MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AGAIN

    4. MAKE AMERICA THE DOMINANT ENERGY PRODUCER IN THE WORLD, BY FAR!

    5. STOP OUTSOURCING, AND TURN THE UNITED STATES INTO A MANUFACTURING SUPERPOWER

    6. LARGE TAX CUTS FOR WORKERS, AND NO TAX ON TIPS!

    7. DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION, OUR BILL OF RIGHTS, AND OUR FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS, INCLUDING FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF RELIGION, AND THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS

    8. PREVENT WORLD WAR THREE, RESTORE PEACE IN EUROPE AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND BUILD A GREAT IRON DOME MISSILE DEFENSE SHIELD OVER OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY -- ALL MADE IN AMERICA

    9. END THE WEAPONIZATION OF GOVERNMENT AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

    10. STOP THE MIGRANT CRIME EPIDEMIC, DEMOLISH THE FOREIGN DRUG CARTELS, CRUSH GANG VIOLENCE, AND LOCK UP VIOLENT OFFENDERS

    More free gifts to Clarence Thomas revealed, including yacht trip to Russia and chopper flight to Putin's hometown.

    Thomas continues to refer to the money as personal gifts from dear friends, as if that somehow exempts him from reporting them.

    Schumer plans to strip Trump of immunity following SCOTUS ruling

    excerpts:

    He went on to predict if Trump is elected, the Supreme Court will only continue to hand down "disastrous rulings" and that Jan. 6, 2021, will be seen as the starting point for chaos in the U.S.


    "Donald Trump and the MAGA right will plunge our country into an abyss of extremism the vast majority of Americans oppose and which America has really never seen."

    Trump convinced Cannon to essentially put investigators of the government on trial.

    Cannon agreed but the hearing is no longer on the schedule, which make the situation even more murky.


    https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/04/politics/cannon-trump-special-counsel-hearing/index.html

    excerpt:

    "Meanwhile, Cannon on Wednesday delayed a previously scheduled multi-day proceeding where Trump’s team wanted to question federal government officials under oath about how they conducted the investigation.

    Trump’s legal team is angling to convince the judge to force the government to turn over more records from far-flung offices of the executive branch. The special counsel’s office argued to Cannon in person months ago that making federal government officials witnesses at this stage of the case – as Trump wants – would be an unprecedented exploitation of the court.

    Cannon still agreed to the hearing Trump wanted. But that hearing is no longer on the schedule."

    https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/04/politics/cannon-trump-special-counsel-hearing/index.html

    excerpt:

    "And it is highly unusual for a federal trial judge to allow a third-party group unaffiliated with a criminal case to argue in court as part of a defendant’s legal challenges to the case itself. That work is essentially reserved for defendants’ teams to bring and argue in courts across the country, opposite Justice Department prosecutors. Allowing third parties to argue in court is even rare in appeals situations.

    “The fact these motions are even being entertained with a hearing is itself ridiculous. That third parties are being allowed to opine at the hearing is absurd,” Bradley Moss, a national security law expert based in Washington, DC, told CNN.

    But Cannon has been convinced by three separate groups of lawyers that they should be able to argue before her. Two of those groups support Trump’s position to dismiss the case against him and say the special counsel, for various constitutional reasons, doesn’t have authority to prosecute. A third group says the Department of Justice’s use of a special counsel should be upheld."

    It's still not known if the loan to Thomas for the RV was forgiven. The person who gave the loan to Thomas said it was 'settled'. That doesn't answer the question. Settled could mean Thomas paid all of it off or that the loan was forgiven.

    If it was forgiven, it was a huge gift to Thomas who would be subject to pay taxes on it, not to mention the fact that he didn't disclose it to the public.

    The fact that Thomas even got a $250,000 loan from someone should cause concern.

    Inflation will go up regardless of who the next president is, but under Trump’s tariffs it would be higher for longer, Oxford Economics says

    excerpt:

    "Yaros assumes that under a Trump presidency he would succeed in implementing his recently announced blanket tariffs. Trump’s unprecedented proposal includes a 60% tariff on all Chinese goods and a 10% tariff on goods from any other country. If implemented they would almost certainly act as a tax on American households, as businesses would simply raise prices and pass on their added costs to consumers.

    Other economists have agreed with Yaros that the tariffs could be inflationary. Several different studies estimated Trump’s proposed tariffs would amount to a $1,700 to $2,350 increase in annual expenses for households."

    China laughs at the Tangerine Tyrant's tariffs.

    Where else will we buy 90% of anything? It's not that it will promote business in the US away from the Chinese - we have no factories.....we still have only one factory that makes PPE gloves, and none for disposable PPE gowns. No chip manufacturers or packagers short of token defense suppliers, no aluminum smelting or extruding, steel is gone, nobody assembles commercial/retail electronics, forget computers. China could say screw you USA and shut half the country down. We learned nothing from the pandemic as far as manufacturing and supply chain goes.

    Americans might as well become accustomed to conspiracy-truthers like Trump running the White House and dictating the other branches of government.

    Stephen Miller is at it again. He would be in a high level position in a second Trump administration.


    https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/07/11/biden-age-conservatives-conspiracy-00167438

    excerpt:

    "In a speech at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington on Monday, Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller decried the “Biden cognition hoax,” claiming (without citing specific evidence) that senior Democrats had conspired with sympathetic elements in the media to hide the truth about the president’s health. “The biggest hoax in history has been exposed,” said Miller, who is expected to assume a senior position in a possible second Trump White House. “Anybody who’s anybody in the Democratic Party participated in, knew of and covered up Biden’s cognitive dysfunction while allowing secret unnamed staffers to run the country.”"

    https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/11/politics/trump-allies-project-2025/index.html

    excerpt:

    "Many people Trump knows quite well are behind it.

    Six of his former Cabinet secretaries helped write or collaborated on the 900-page playbook for a second Trump term published by the Heritage Foundation. Four individuals Trump nominated as ambassadors were also involved, along with several enforcers of his controversial immigration crackdown. And about 20 pages are credited to his first deputy chief of staff.

    In fact, at least 140 people who worked in the Trump administration had a hand in Project 2025, a CNN review found, including more than half of the people listed as authors, editors and contributors to “Mandate for Leadership,” the project’s extensive manifesto for overhauling the executive branch."
