Congratulations to the US women's basketball team for narrowly beating France to win the gold medal in Paris. The first half was hard to watch with a boatload of turnovers and France's offensive rebounds. Some good defense and clutch free throws down the stretch.

I think clearly the US women's basketball team could have used Caitlin Clark's outside shooting in the gold medal game. It wouldn't have been just a 1-point victory.

What's in those tall slim boxes handed out on the Olympics medal platform? I thought maybe a flower. No, a commemorative poster. https://t.co/06CSLEr9Oy

Donald Trump has no imagination, whatsoever, as shown by the act that he played "COPYCAT" with Reagan's MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. pic.twitter.com/ZxrS1puuUa

Trump's stealing Ron Paul's idea of exempting tips from income tax is not the first time. Ron Paul was citing Merle Haggard's "America First" song long before Trump stole the idea. But he didn't steal Paul's noninterventionist foreign policy. Talk is cheap.

The men's shot put ball weighs 16 lbs.; Trump probably weighs 250+ lbs. more. If Ann Coulter could throw Trump, she should go out for the 2028 Olympics https://t.co/oujV8YmdSU

Wow. To leftists, everyone is a racist except Biden who says if you don't vote for him, you ain't black.

"Ann Coulter"
An NBC podcast analyst talked about attacks on the VP's Jewish spouse as unprecedented. Just a reminder that Gore's running mate, Joe Lieberman, was a practicing Jew.

I do understand why Trump is stealing the theme song from Titanic; his campaign has been sinking since iceberg Harris collided with it.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 12, 2024
No. Harris is not homeland security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. She was assigned to work on policy with Central American nation sources of migrants, something, of course, Trump failed to achieve during his Administration. pic.twitter.com/A5XkbPGQBf

I am tired of the anti-Caitlin Clark trolls. Caitlin is a basketball prodigy who has provably succeeded at every level--incredible shooting and assists. I know she is adaptable to international play. People are making judgments based on assumptions, not evidence. https://t.co/Z1V6MSr2qk

Trump has had the longest adolescence in the history of mankind. He's obsessed and beyond jealous of other politicians, fixated on his audience crowds, especially relative to Obama and Harris. This is his third campaign; most people are tired of his shtick. I know I am.

Interesting. One of my BIL's is probably a registered Republican, but he's upset at Trump and Harris' support of the idea not to tax tip income in the hospitality and service industries. He justifiably sees it as discriminatory against other income sources. Don't tax income!

I want an asterisk after the loser Romanian gymnast's "bronze". What counts is the performance on the floor, not this petty legalistic crap. She should not win because of hudges' scoring errors.

If the mainstream media had to debunk the economic idiocy of the Biden/Harris regime, they wouldn't have time to do anything else. CNN seems to be trying to debunk every Trump/Vance soundbite. I'm listening to a Face the Nation podcast on Vance where they interrupted it to debunk

It's bad enough we have a feckless Fed without the idea of a political whore like Tariff Warrior Trump corruptly trying to manipulate monetary policy for his political benefit. You just know if the Fed cuts rates next month, the SOB will cry election interference.

The job stats are troubling; it's not great if you have to pick up a part-time Uber gig after losing your fulltime job, although it's a wash in national stats. If you aren't working fulltime, you have to downsize spending. The "winner" this fall may be inheriting a recession.

No. Even if the allegation is true, Merchan's daughter has her own constitutional rights, regardless of her father's position. Harris wasn't even a candidate during the trial.

My latest essay is a critical reflection on SCOTUS' ruling on Trump's rubbish immunity claim.https://t.co/LBtqsQytxO

I don't know why Trump persists in these pathetic petty insults of Kamala Harris. (Let's be glad she doesn't wear eyeglasses.) Maybe I grew up with a Dad who loved and respected my Mom and 4 little sisters. Chivalry isn't dead. His adolescent behavior is costing him votes.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 15, 2024
Leftist trolls like Harris want to demonize the private sector, which unlike the government cannot force you to transact at gunpoint. Yesterday's prices are irrelevant. You can't replenish your inventory at low costs when supply shocks hit the markets. You need to replenish items
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 15, 2024
Kamala Harris is beyond an economics illiterate. This phony price gouging initiative is not only counterproductive populist rubbish but unconstitutional. Inflation is largely an artifact of Big Government, which the incompetent hypocritical political whore refuses to acknowledge.

I almost never eat out but I still remember the last time I went to Boston Market. I was on a 2008 gig for a college software publisher at a Long Island community college. I could get a decent dinner there within New York state per diem. Of course, I had their awesome chicken

Historian Brion McClanahan points out Trump's political approach heavily borrows from Pat Buchanan, in turn influenced by post-segregation George Wallace. Of course, Trump lost the 2000 Reform Party nomination to Buchanan.

Wrong. It is true Tuberville owns Florida vacation property but he lives in a home initially occupied by his son in the Auburn area.https://t.co/8VGkPP0hKV

Mrs. McMahon was administrator of the SBA under Trump. My understanding is the McMahons separated some time back.

I don't think the Holy Father is being helpful here. "Terrorism" is what happened on Oct. 7. There is little doubt that there has been tragic collateral damage in Israel's pursuit of Hamas. But implying Israel has been targeting civilians is false and unjust.

"Pope Francis"
In dismissing/diminishing the sacrifices of our heroes, Trump no longer is fit to serve as Commander in Chief. He thinks being an asshole is a feature, not a bug. No one will ever cite Trump after he croaks. https://t.co/aIK70LX8kP
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) August 16, 2024
It's one thing to praise a Medal of Freedom recipient. It's not clear why this son of a bitch has to compare or be dismissive of the sacrifices of heroes who put their lives and health on the line in defending this country. Trump is mentally ill and stupid.

Real economic policies vs. Harris' socialist gimmicks treat the disease, not the symptoms. The free market, not the morally corrupt Politics of Envy, will serve consumer demand without the interference of incompetent counterproductive political whores.

It's bad enough counterproductive economic illiterate states try to outlaw voluntary exchanges some idiots like Kamala Harris call "price gouging". Here's a good little video explaining how you benefit from unaffordable transactions: https://t.co/MYSwCKVZf7

ObamaCare was bad policy from the get-go. I thought the Republicans were going to do common sense things like allow insurers to operate across state lines, offer basic major medical policies, allow people to pool across smaller states, reform assigned risk pools.
