    How ironic. On the contrary, it is YOU who is blind and it is because of your Himalayan ego and enormous self-pride.

    That is such a weird flex. Historically, the bond market is where you go when you think the stock market is about to crash and the economy goes down the toilet. It's like a baby brother to the gold market, but without the built in hedge against inflation. Bonds in the past really explode onto the scene when the s**t hits the fan. Congrats, Scott. You drove the American economy off the cliff WAY better than Biden ever did. You're number 1! Take a victory lap!

    Rubio stages font coup: Times New Roman ousts Calibri

    Reuters
    By Humeyra Pamuk
    December 9, 20256:41 PM EST

    WASHINGTON, Dec 9 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor Antony Blinken's decision to adopt Calibri a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

    The department under Blinken in early January 2023 had switched to Calibri, a modern sans-serif font, saying this was a more accessible font for people with disabilities because it did not have the decorative angular features and was the default in Microsoft products.

    A cable dated December 9 sent to all U.S. diplomatic posts said that typography shapes the professionalism of an official document and Calibri is informal compared to serif typefaces.

    "To restore decorum and professionalism to the Department’s written work products and abolish yet another wasteful DEIA program, the Department is returning to Times New Roman as its standard typeface," the cable said.

    "This formatting standard aligns with the President’s One Voice for America’s Foreign Relations directive, underscoring the Department’s responsibility to present a unified, professional voice in all communications," it added.

    The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Some studies suggest that sans-serif fonts, such as Calibri, are easier to read for those with certain visual disabilities.

    What's next? Removing wheel chair ramps and forcing people in wheel chairs to crawl up stairs with their chairs on their back?

    One does hear that that builds character.

    Telling people that affordability is hoax, non-issue did not work well for Biden, but Trump goes there anyway ...


    Republicans hoping Trump will change his tune and reverse their gloomy fortunes got a taste of grim reality Tuesday night, when he traveled to Pennsylvania to mock those concerned with affordability and declare that people who can't afford high prices should simply buy less.

    Doshi was the head of the National Security Council's China desk under Biden.

    I'll also note that the prohibition on selling cutting edge chips to other countries was not just based on economic concerns, but more often, we did not want to give foreign militaries access to that kind of computing power. And now China has it.

    How much has Trump pocketed from these for sale pardons?


    The felon is OK with drug dealers: Meryl Kornfield and Emily Davies, Washington Post

    On President Donald Trump’s first full day in office this year, he pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, who was convicted of creating the largest online black market for illegal drugs and other illicit goods of its time.

    In the months since, he has granted clemency to others, including Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover and Baltimore drug kingpin Garnett Gilbert Smith. And last week, he pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who had been sentenced to 45 years in prison for running his country as a vast “narco-state” that helped to move at least 400 tons of cocaine into the United States.

    Overall, Trump — who campaigned against America’s worsening drug crisis and promised to crack down on the illegal flow of deadly drugs coming across the border — has pardoned or granted clemency to at least 10 people for drug-related crimes since the beginning of his second term, according to a Washington Post analysis. He also granted pardons or commutations to almost 90 others for drug-related crimes during the four years of his first term, the analysis showed.

    Doshi was the one who came up with the tech export controls during Biden time. There's no china Hawks left in the admin but rather just grifters who want to enrich themselves. If a democratic admin did what Trump just did the cultists would've called biden a traitor who needs to be hung.

    MAGA dont have a sincere core belief themselves. Its whatever Trump does they'll adopt
