The  U.S. Senate finally passed Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill .  In short: The roughly multi-trillion-dollar bill would unlock tax cuts and funding boosts for national security, partly paid for by the biggest cut to the federal safety net in decades.   See what’s in the bill here.      Another high-stakes battle now looms, as the bill must pass in the House before heading to the president’s desk. GOP leaders are racing to try to get the bill to the White House by July 4. However,  Time  magazine reported: Updated:   JUL 1, 2025 2:30 AM HAST ‘Don’t Bankrupt America’: Musk Vows to Campaign Against Republicans Who Support Trump’s Debt-Raising Megabill This bill will hurt lower income individuals and anyone assisted by Diversity/Equity/Inclusion government programs, while making billionaires and rich millionaires richer.  Democrats are salivating about the upcoming mid-term elections on 4November2026.  However, I keep saying that th...

Sure, the Supreme Court is being influenced by associate justices from Donald Trump's first term.  And of course, it is a conservative court.  However, their final decision for this season was announced today, and gives Trump what he wanted.  Block birthright citizenship to children of illegal immigrants, and also, in effect, curtailing the power of individual district court judges.  I can't believe they are colluding with him.  They must be just buying time to avoid judgement day, for if Trump defies a major decision by them, he becomes a dictator, for the Supreme Court, and too the U.S. Congress, don't have any enforcement powers.  The makers of our Constitution screwed up with this flaw.  By what happened today, American Democracy seems safe until next October. The U.S.dollar has dipped to a 3-year low.   Why?  Blame President Donald Trump. What this means is you are paying more for imported goods.  Maybe Trump is getting what he...

Until I mentioned his name in  my blog of two days ago , chances are that you never before heard of him.   Making a spectacular finish:  Muslim 32-year old Zohran Mamdani, a progressive state legislator. Well, as you know by now,  Mamdani shocked the city by beating former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary on Tuesday .  A huge hurdle remains:  4November2025 when he runs against Cuomo ( who will be allowed to compete as an independent) , current mayor Eric Adams ( also now an independent ), the Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, and other potential independent candidates.   Under normal circumstance, you would give Sliwa no chance.  But this time, three Democrats will trisect their votes, providing Sliwa an opportunity to sneak in as mayor.  I saw this WABC radio spot actually suggesting Sliwa as a possible Veep candidate last year. Ranked choice will not be used.  This process is called the  first-past-the-post...
