Biden's Pathway For Illegals, Fort Worth Funding Sexualized Events?

Good Tuesday to all!

Is the City of Fort Worth funding sexualized events?

195 year old Chuck Schumer was clowned on social media, for posting a pic of himself grilling. The issue was that he bad a piece of cheese on raw meat. He was so embarrassed that he deleted the photo, come on Chuck, you are too old to be worried about what people say about you on social media.

Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya admits that he misjudged Trump and said there is a huge gap between how the media portrays him and how he really is:

"He is charismatic, he's intellectually sharp, and he's funny. And when you put that together, he can engage an audience for a long time and be totally extemporaneous," Palihapitiya said of Trump.

"The other thing I would say that is, that he is very polite, and he's kind in a way that was disarming and was not what I expected, and so I felt that I had misjudged him many years in the past," he explained. "So, I was very glad that I had an opportunity to sit beside him and to actually interact with him one-on-one — it was really, really engaging."

Palihapitiya explained that his interaction with Trump left a lasting impression, one that exposed the media's false depictions of him.

"I think that there is a huge gap between how the media tries to portray Donald Trump and what he's like when you meet him in person — and that gap is really wide," Palihapitiya said.

Trump, Palihapitiya said, impressed him with his "pro-American" and "pro-innovation" agenda, one that emphasizes "low regulation" and "low taxation." The platform, Palihapitiya added, "does stand very much in contrast with" the Democratic Party's agenda.

May retail sales rise just 0.1% versus 0.2% expected.

CNBC reports:

Retail spending was weaker than expected in May as consumers continued to wrestle with stubbornly higher levels of inflation.

Sales rose just 0.1% on the month, one-tenth of a percentage point below the Dow Jones estimate, according to a Commerce Department report Tuesday that is adjusted for seasonality but not inflation. However, the result was slightly better than the downwardly revised 0.2% decline in April.

On a year-over-year basis, sales rose 2.3%.

The sales number was worse when excluding autos, with a decline of 0.1% against the estimate for a 0.2% increase.

Moderating gas prices helped hurt receipts at gas stations, which reported a 2.2% monthly decline. That was offset somewhat by a 2.8% increase at sports goods, music and book stores.

Online outlets reported a 0.8% increase, while bars and restaurants saw a 0.4% decline. Furniture and home furnishing stores also reported a 1.1% drop.

Stock market futures were around flat following the report while Treasury yields declined.

The report comes with investors on edge about the direction of the economy and what that will mean for the future of monetary policy at the Federal Reserve. Consumer spending is responsible for about two-thirds of all economic activity, so any weakness could signal a retrenchment in growth while also pushing the Fed to begin cutting interest rates.

Inflation numbers of late have been somewhat encouraging, but spending is showing signs of weakening as consumers have been under pressure from rising prices for more than two years.

A Commerce Department measure that the Fed uses as its main gauge for inflation showed an annual rate of 2.7% in April, or 2.8% when excluding food and energy. The Fed targets 2% inflation.

Market pricing is pointing to the equivalent of two interest rate reductions this year of a quarter percentage point each, though Fed officials at their meeting last week indicated the likelihood of just one. Following the retail data, traders in the fed funds futures market upped their bets that the Fed would be easing, even pricing in about a 23% chance of three cuts this year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch gauge.

Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker said Monday that it would be appropriate to cut rates later this year only if the data cooperates, and said he envisions the likelihood of just one move lower.

Biden announces pathway for about 500,000 illegals. This is how they will try to destroy your country and we knew this was part of their plan all along, by creating new potential Democrat voters through illegal immigration.

Trump and Bush appointed judges block Biden’s Title IX rules, which would allow students to go into whichever restroom aligns with their gender identity. Now wait a minute, there are 52 genders now according to the left. I think it’s time the number of restrooms in schools reflect that.

The ruling now brings the total number of states to 10, where Biden’s rule changes have been blocked. This is probably the most important reason to have Republican in office, their appointees at the court level can have a lasting impact for decades.
