The problem with Strom’s article is that he doesn’t differentiate between TDS and legitimate opposition to Trump’s trade policies from those that believe in free trade and not protectionism.
TDS victims will oppose Trump on ANYTHING he does. Amoral Scumbag claimed to be a conservative, but he would never even credit Trump with appointing conservative to judicial positions. As Trump famously said, he could find the cure for cancer and achieve world peace and the TDS sufferers would criticize it.
Trump is a populist and an opportunist, not a conservative. None of what he does is by conviction or principle. I will take what I can get, because a lot of what he does I think is positive for America.
I think his attacks on the concept of free trade and free markets are terribly damaging in the long run, because it stimulates protectionist views everywhere. I don’t see any outcome where this philosophy is not negative.
But my perceptions of politicians can change. I certainly changed my views on Mitt Romney and Chris Christie and Nikki Haley and, yes, of Donald Trump. I was certain Trump was not fit for office in 2016. He proved me wrong.

No. The gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so called nation builders neocons or liberal nonprofits like those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to develop…cabal Baghdad so many other cities instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought by the people of the region themselves. The people that are right here the people that have lived here all their lives, developing your own sovereign countries,s pursuing your own unique visions, and charting your own destinies in your own way. It’s really incredible what you’ve done. In the end, the so-called nation builders…wrecked far more nations than they built, and the interventionists were intervening in complex societies…that they did not even understand themselves..they told you how to do it but they had no idea how to do it themselves…Peace, prosperity, and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of your heritage but rather from embracing your national traditions and embracing that same heritage that you love…so dearly…”

tina wrote -4 months of multiple data points and the fed chairperson refuses to cut because of politics.
————-
Tina, he may be playing politics, but not lowering rates is a good call and you can’t let these annual CPI/PPI index announces fool you. I’ll try to explain with CPI, since I have the data in front of me, but the same applies to PPI.
In March 2025, the monthly CPI inflation rate was .22%, however the April rate was .31%. It actually went up a bit. However, the CPI reported this week showed the annual inflation rate going DOWN to 2.3%. Why is this? Because annual cpi inflation (like PPI) compares April 2025 to April 2024. So, even though the monthly inflation rate ticked up, since April 2024 was .39%, higher than the April 2025 print of .31%, we show a reduction to cpi. The Fed and everyone else should also be concerned about the monthly trend, which shows inflation ticking up slightly.
Following this logic, the Fed also knows that for next few months the annual CPI will have a tough time showing a decrease and may very well show increases EVEN if the monthly rates trend down. This is because in May, June and July of 2024, the monthly CPI rates were incredibly low, coming in at .17%, .03%, and .12%. So, for example, even if out May 2025 monthly cpi drops back down to wat it was in March 2025 (.22%), we will still show an annual CPI increase . This will have an impact on consumer sentiment and the financial press, which could drive inflationary forward spending as a result. For annual CPI to go down in May through July of this year, we would need to see outstanding low monthly prints. That is the test and that is why everyone is cautiously waiting to see what happens in the next few months.
Additionally, and even more important is the crazy Fed money printing to pay for our deficits. Money supply is the fuel for inflation and it is skyrocketing again. This chart alone should give pause to any rate decreases until the Fed stops up some of this excess money –
What’s even more troubling is that at the same time the Fed is growing our money supply, they are reducing their balance sheet (they’ve cut over 2 billion since 2020), which is like putting on the brakes while stepping on the accelerator while driving. Best to leave rates alone until we see how monthly rates come in and how money supply goes in the next few months.
Trust me on this. No one wants to see rates decrease more than me. It would juice the economy for Trump and send my portfolio into space. But I’d rather it be done when inflation risk is truly minimized. If all goes well, the economy should be booming and rates lowered well before the midterm election season.

Quite a career for someone who “knows little”.
“Jerome Hayden “Jay” Powell (born February 4, 1953) is an American investment banker and lawyer who has been the 16th chair of the Federal Reserve since 2018.
A native of Washington, D.C., Powell graduated from Princeton University and from the Georgetown University Law Center.[2] After working as an attorney for five years, he switched to investment banking in the mid-1980s and worked for several financial institutions, including as a partner of The Carlyle Group.[2] In 1992, Powell briefly served as under secretary of the Treasury for domestic finance under President George H. W. Bush. Powell left Carlyle Group in 2005 and founded Severn Capital Partners, a private investment firm. He was a visiting scholar at the Bipartisan Policy Center from 2010 to 2012 before returning to public service.[2]
He became a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors after being nominated to the post by President Barack Obama in 2012. He was subsequently elevated to chairman by President Donald Trump (succeeding Janet Yellen) and renominated to the position by President Joe Biden“

Could be. He made plenty of personnel mistakes in the 1st term. So far, much better this time.

He explained that.
He said he wasn’t there for the hearing or anything to do with RFK Jr., he wanted to protest Gaza.
He is a flaming anti-semitic Marxist hack. But he is getting richer because people are still buying his ice cream. Here in central PA, every Rutter’s and Sheetz carries it.

Sotomayor is a far leftist hack.
But the argument that the 14th Amendment only “intended to cover descendants of slaves” is a weak one.
it is not what the Amendment says. It says if you were born in the US you are a US citizen.
IMO, that is how it needs to be interpreted.
If a woman climbs over the fence and has a baby 5 minutes later, that baby is a US citizen.
And frankly, I don’t understand why we would not want that. Why don’t we want that baby to grow up in America, be educated in America, serve America, and be a productive citizen. Why do we care where or who or how his parents were, we should only care that the baby is a citizen.
It doesn’t mean that we should not have border control or that we need to allow everyone who wants to have a baby here to do so (sorry, Jeb!), it only means that IF someone is born in America, that person is American. Period.
