Speaking as an agnostic atheist (in other words, I don’t care). I’m appalled that ANYONE would vote/support Trump. I couldn’t care less about what deity or whatever they bow to. Bowing to Trump is the most sacrilegious thing you can do. Except maybe if your a satanist or something of that stripe. The only way that they are that much of a low information voter is if they live in a cave. They are welcome to return to their caves and crawl back under their rocks. Just leave decent people alone. ---

Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the Senate’s president pro tempore and chairman of the powerful Judiciary Committee, said he was “offended” and “disappointed” by the tirade President Trump [unleashed against him on social media](https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5427155-trump-presses-grassley-blue-slip/) over the obscure Senate tradition of respecting blue-slip objections to nominees tapped to serve as district court judges and U.S. attorneys. ---

Most trade commentary comes from ordinary businesses that may have donated restrained amounts to a business lobby, both parties, or even a Democrat. Exceptions include bankruptcy filings which often blame tariffs, because management wants to emphasize factors external to their managing. ---

I don’t know what’s happening anymore. Fox News has an editorial by a black man complaining about racism on the right. So, leopards? Is Fox turning woke? > **[I'm a Black pastor alarmed by a new identity game some on the right are playing](https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/im-black-pastor-alarmed-new-identity-game-some-right-playing)** > > Some on the right are pivoting to 'Black fatigue' and tribal thinking about Black Americans. But tribalism is a crutch, a cheap shot that fuels keyboard wars on X but fixes nothing. ---

A few observations. 1. The right have always loved members of marginalized communities who take their side. It gives them someone to point to, “See we can’t be biased since we have one guy on their side who agrees with us.” This can be very lucrative fort eh token in question even if its a detrement to their group. 2. He isn’[t really coming out against racism on the right, he’s saying we should all ignore racism on the right, that we should even mention the word racism. Its basically spouting the “i don’t see color” lets always be racially neutral, that is the basis for the administration’s attacks on DEI. 1. This article appear amid two weeks of daily top stories on Fox highlighting an bunch of bunch of black guys beating up a white guy in Cinicinatti after a verbal altercation and the white woman who got caught in the cross fire. Of course they don’t explicitly point out that it was BLACK men attacking a WHITE people, so they can’t be engaging in race baiting. Its the people who are calling their coverage racist who are bringing race into the equation 2. The comments are full of people saying that black men are actually more savage than white people and so its not racist to say so. ---
