- Costco Colombian coffee has gone up about 40% since Trump took office: 12/2/24--$14.99; 8/5/25--$20.99. I view it as a tax increase for me to help "pay for" Trump's billionaire tax cut. Tariffs on coffee are pretty stupid: it can't be grown in the continental US. It's just a tax paid by consumers, plain and simple.
- The overtly racist Trump ICE secret police are now racially profiling (violating a court order) and publicly bragging about it.
- Trying to figure out by what stretch of the imagination the FBI has any jurisdiction over a state if Texas poliical dispute where no law has been broken. I know--stuoid question in 2025.
- I am a big sports fan, but am losing interest when the leagues start mimicking Ivy League schools and bending their knees to Trump by joining his phony sports council.
- As expected, Netanyahu announced that Israel plans to occupy Gaza.
- Also saw today that 1.5% of Gazan farm land is damaged and/or unfarmable. We knew from the outset that Israel's goal was to make it uninhabitable, and here we are. According to the ADL, if you find this unacceptable, you are antisemitic. (Actually, both parties seem to agree with the ADL.)
