The danger of executive overreach has been there from the very beginning. Revolutionary War hero Patrick Henry (“give me liberty or give me death”) voted against the Constitution at the Virginia ratifying convention in 1788 precisely because he thought it would give a criminal president the chance “to make one bold push for the American throne.” Throughout the 20th century, presidents of both parties expanded the “executive power” that is so ill-defined in Article II of the Constitution. More recently, a conservative-dominated Supreme Court has given succor to the unitary executive theory developed by right-wing legal theorists, which gives the most expansive reading of presidential power. And now, the Trump administration – well-prepared, unlike in 2017 – has exploited every inch and wrinkle of existing executive power, as well as simply breaking the law and defying the courts to stop it.

SOME COLD, HARD FACTS ABOUT CALIFORNIA:

s-about-California
We have been getting a lot of attention on Fox News lately, but here are some cold, hard FACTS you won’t hear on that network.
Middle-class families in California pay LESS in taxes than in states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.*
50 million of the 52 million jobs created since the Cold War have been created in Democratic administrations. Republican presidents have one thing in common: recession.
Life expectancy, infant mortality, deaths of despair, wages and uninsured rates are all worse off in red states.
California is the fourth-largest economy in the WORLD. We contribute $83 billion TO the federal government while Texas TAKES $71 billion.
California is #1 in manufacturing, #1 in farming, #1 in new business starts, #1 in tech and VC investments, #1 in Fortune 500 companies, and the #1 public higher education system in the country.
California has some of the strongest gun laws in the country and as a result has a 43% lower gun death rate than the rest of the U.S., according to data from the CDC, while President Trump oversaw the largest spike in homicides recorded in U.S. history.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
Gavin Newsom
*The ITEP study shows that Incomes in California’s middle 20% — those earning $39,100 to $62,300 — pay an average of 8.3% in state and local income, property and sales and excise taxes. That gives California the 11th-lowest tax burden in the country for that income bracket.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics just published its annual benchmark revision on Tuesday morning. While few analysts expected good news, the revision is substantially larger than expected, and lands at a moment of widespread political and economic turmoil.
Economists broadly expected the agency to report the U.S. added about 700,000 fewer jobs from March 2024 to March 2025 than earlier believed. Instead, the figure was revised down by 911,000.
The immediate reaction? Stock futures had pointed to a strong open on Tuesday morning, but the bigger-than-expected revision encouraged more moderate, sideways moves, at least on announcement.
More importantly, the markdown is big enough to reshape the larger picture of the labor market over the last year. It also intensifies the sense of stagflation now taking hold: slowing job growth alongside rising inflation. Consumer prices for August are due on Thursday and are expected to show another uptick, too.
Meanwhile, the White House has already been rattled by last Friday’s weak jobs report, which showed just 22,000 new positions in August, with nearly all of the growth coming from healthcare and support services. Outside those segments, job creation has essentially flatlined this year — while dark clouds loom over the healthcare field as Medicaid cuts are set to kick in October 1, resulting from the “Big Beautiful Bill” passed in July. In other words, if the growth from healthcare disappears, growth may disappear altogether.
President Donald Trump has railed against BLS data specifically in recent months as a broad slowdown in jobs growth appeared to take hold. In early August, he dismissed a similar routine revision of BLS figures as a “SCAM” and then fired the agency’s commissioner.
Even as experts argue the agency’s processes allow little chance for such meddling, Trump’s allies are likely to argue that the large revision is evidence that the bureaucracy has been cooking the numbers, or failing that, to shift blame for the slowdown onto former President Joe Biden and Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has gone further, promising a coming “jobs boom” once Trump’s corporate investment agenda kicks in.

In the past 80 years, only once – in 1952 – has such anemic growth not occurred either in or just prior to a recession.
Manufacturing employment is down -0.3%, residential construction employment is down -0.4%, total construction employment is down -0.1%, and goods-producing employment as a whole is down -0.3%.

UAE got the chips, while Team Trump got the crypto riches

The New York Times reports:
This summer, Steve Witkoff, President Trump’s Middle East envoy, paid a visit to the coast of Sardinia, a stretch of the Mediterranean Sea crowded with super yachts.
On one of those extravagant vessels, Mr. Witkoff sat down with a member of the ultrarich ruling family of the United Arab Emirates. He was meeting Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a trim figure in dark glasses who controls $1.5 trillion of the Emiratis’ sovereign wealth.
It was the latest engagement in a consequential alliance.
Over the past few months, Mr. Witkoff and Sheikh Tahnoon had become both diplomatic allies and business partners, testing the limits of ethics rules while enriching the president, his family and his inner circle, according to an investigation by The New York Times.
At the heart of their relationship are two multibillion-dollar deals. One involved a crypto company founded by the Witkoff and the Trump families that benefited both financially. The other involved a sale of valuable computer chips that benefited the Emirates economically.
While there is no evidence that one deal was explicitly offered in return for the other, the confluence of the two agreements is itself extraordinary. Taken together, they blurred the lines between personal and government business and raised questions about whether U.S. interests were served.
In May, Mr. Witkoff’s son Zach announced the first of the deals at a conference in Dubai. One of Sheikh Tahnoon’s investment firms would deposit $2 billion into World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency start-up founded by the Witkoffs and Trumps.
Two weeks later, the White House agreed to allow the U.A.E. access to hundreds of thousands of the world’s most advanced and scarce computer chips, a crucial tool in the high-stakes race to dominate artificial intelligence. Many of the chips would go to G42, a sprawling technology firm controlled by Sheikh Tahnoon, despite national security concerns that the chips could be shared with China.
Those negotiations involved another key White House official with ties to the tech industry and to the Middle East: David Sacks. A longtime venture capitalist, Mr. Sacks serves as the administration’s A.I. and crypto czar, a newly created position that has allowed him to shape tech policy even as he continues to work in Silicon Valley.
The Times found that the agreements were intertwined in ways that have not been previously reported and that they provoked concerns about conflicts of interest even from staff members in the Trump administration.

The Times reviewed correspondence and interviewed more than 75 people, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe sensitive matters, to reveal new details that show how the deals got done:
Steve Witkoff advocated to give the Emirates access to the chips at the same time that his and Mr. Trump’s family business was landing the crypto investment, despite an ethics rule intended to prohibit officials from participating in matters that could benefit themselves or their relativesNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

You’d think a guy who led four casinos into bankruptcy would understand the business of entertainment, right?
“Ticket sales at the Kennedy Center have continued to plummet following Donald Trump’s takeover of Washington DC’s premier performing arts venue, with the prestigious Stuttgart Ballet expected to dance next month to houses less than 20% full.”
“The Washingtonian report paints a damning portrait of the health of the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the months since its takeover by Trump, who last month announced he had decided “reluctantly” to personally host its annual arts awards signature show in December.
“Subscription revenue is down by about 50%, the magazine’s report said, and it quoted a spokesperson for the German embassy who said they did not know if the Stuttgart Ballet would still perform there given the poor ticket sales.
“The reported slump extends an already worrying slide in patronage. By June, the Kennedy Center had seen subscription sales fall by about $1.6m, or roughly 36%, compared with 2024.”

I've never once said or even insinuated that I wanted to murder any Democrat, let alone every Democrat.
I already know why I get called a Nazi by you two. And make no mistake, it is ONLY by you two.
And there are two reasons for it...
REASON #1: You are both self-righteous bullies who get off on beating people down with personal insults while getting high sniffing each other's farts, and for the last 12 years you were both goaded into it and you were praised by the Legacy Media for doing it.
REASON #2: You are both little sissies hiding behind your handles that wouldn't dare say that to my face in real life. Period.
The same that could be said about you both could also be said about all the rest of you barely literate, heavily indoctrinated, headline-only-reading, terminally online, dopamine addicted, clickbait addict, Leftist cultist idiots lacking any ability for critical thinking or self-agency who feel as though they have a license to advocate for the death of anyone they disagree with at any point in time as many times as they feel like it, and then laugh when somebody finally gets shot at and/or killed.
And then when you finally get called on it and you realized that I was right all along and the entire world you knew died eight months ago, you start crying and begging like wounded little animals. You both are the textbook definition of pathetic. You are not men. You are both little bitches. MY little screen bitches.
Nobody in the country gives a single fuck what either of you think or say anymore. Those days were already sliding evermore quickly from your grasp, just as I told you they were before I even started this thread, but they ended on September 10th, 2025.
Full Stop.
And if you ever once spent five minutes outside of your MSNBC clickbait bubble and watched the real news with all the live video footage and without everything being presented out-of-context as a rule, you'd realize that nobody in the entire fucking world gives a single shit about your opinion right now either.
Even the South Koreans were out in the streets singing Charlie Kirk's name the other night.
Everything you thought you knew is false history, and the truth is coming out for everyone to see. And you are now an endangered species.
I would highly advise you to do a better job at protecting yourself going forward, because nobody else is going to do it for you anymore.
Meanwhile, here's an archived list of every time you called for somebody's assassination, along with murder fantasies you've had about other members here over the years:
http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=65116
I know you thought it was funny at the time, and you got a good laugh out of me making this list and even suggested I send it to the Secret Service on more than one occasion while not taking it seriously at all.
But you and I both know it's not so funny anymore, now don't we?
And when everybody else sees what you've been posting here over the years, everyone is going to know who the real Nazi here was all along.
It was you, it was you, it was you...
It was you, it was you, it was you...
Good luck. You'll need it.
