President Trump seems to be trying in earnest to end the Iran war that we embarked upon on Israel’s behalf, and it’s upsetting all the right people. If New York Times columnists Bret Stephens and Thomas Friedman are disappointed, the president is doing something right. These are the Israel First type people who are anathema […]
This corruption is par for the course for Medicaid in New York, whose political machines rely on the interests that feed off the program.
The president abandoned his previous positions in favor of the Iranian position on all the key issues of contention going into the war.
A report published Friday reveals how President Donald Trump’s policies have jacked up prices for a host of potential Father’s Day gifts this year.Overall, the analysis by Groundwork Collaborative, a progressive economic think tank and advocacy group, finds that prices for popular Father’s Day gifts have risen by nearly 19% on average over the last year, highlighted by a 30% increase in the price of Remington electric shavers, a 16% jump for Blackstone electric griddles, and barbecue tools up by 11%.The analysis traces price increases of popular personal care products to Trump’s global trade war, which he began last year with his “Liberation Day” tariffs levied on practically every nation in the world.“Many shavers and trimmers are imported from China, which has faced multiple layers of tariffs,” notes the report, “in addition to containing steel and aluminum components, which are also subject to additional tariffs.”The report also points out that electric shaver manufacturer Braun “increased the price of its Series 9 All-in-One Beard Trimmer by $50” last year after Trump’s big tariff announcement, and that the price has since gone up by another $10.Examining the increase in grilling product prices, the report pins the blame not only on Trump’s tariffs, but also his illegal war of choice with Iran.“The Middle East is a major producer of the petrochemical used to make plastics and synthetic fibers,” the report explains. “Trump’s reckless war on Iran has increased the price of these petroleum-derived products, helping drive up the cost of items like grilling tools, which cost nearly 22% more this year.”Elizabeth Pancotti, managing director of policy and advocacy at Groundwork Collaborative, summarized the report’s findings by warning that “Dads are in for disappointment this Father’s Day” thanks to Trump’s economic policies.“While dads across the country should be able to relax and enjoy the day with loved ones,” Pancotti added, “they’re instead forced to worry about how they’ll make ends meet in Trump’s economy.”Trump’s tariffs and the Iran war have sent inflation in the US to its highest levels in three years. As data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) last week showed, overall prices in May posted a yearly increase of 4.2%, highlighted by a 23.5% yearly increase in energy prices.Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, said last week that inflation has now grown “so high that it’s erasing all wage gains” being made by American workers.
Since there isn’t anything really important going on in the world, the media has swarmed over the troubles with the overhaul of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, […]
Left-wing vandals have targeted Trump's newly renovated Reflecting Pool by the Lincoln Memorial, damaging the blue sealant applied at the bottom to maintain the pool's blue color. President Trump undertook the project to restore the filthy green water basin, built in the 1920s, which has been marred by issues, including sinking and leaking into the swamp beneath.

Team Algae and Filth has been busy at work, supported by CNN, ABC and various leftist media, in an attempt to grow algae back in the DC reflection pool, and cut out the newly installed lining.

Liberalism is a […] The post President Trump Notes Opposition Effort to Destroy DC Reflection Pool appeared first on The Last Refuge.
For the third time, President Donald Trump reinforced his version of events Saturday as it pertained to his bizarre spat with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who accused the president of fabricating a story about her begging for a photograph.Trump told an Italian news network that during the Group of Seven summit in France, Meloni had “begged” him for a photograph together and that he “felt sorry for her.” Meloni fiercely denied Trump’s account of their interaction, accusing him of fabricating the story.Trump stood by his story, however, telling NBC News on Friday that Meloni was “a big fan” of his. And on Saturday, the president pushed his version of events a third time in an explosive social media post on Truth Social.“Italian Prime Minister Gigiorgia Meloni asked, over and over, for a picture with me during the G-7 meeting in France. She is doing poorly in Italy with her level of popularity, possibly because she turned down the United States of America, a Country that truly loves and protects Italy, when it came to denying Iran from obtaining or developing a Nuclear Weapon (But so did NATO, for that matter!),” Trump wrote. “She wouldn’t even let us use Italy’s landing strips or runways, a great logistical inconvenience, and this despite the fact the U.S. contributes hundreds of Billions of Dollars a year to protect Italy, and other “so-called” NATO Allies. Now, after the United States defeated Iran militarily, she wants to be friends again in order to get her ‘numbers up.’ No thanks!!!”
