Lot’s of well educated people here that keep missing the point. Click-Bait media seems to be in control. Dig deeper. NYC, never stop. Last, DM me here or meet me for a drink, save your Telegram, WhatsApp etc. for the desperate bone heads.

Hey folks, tariffs are a negotiating tool ahead of quota and revised trade agreements. Check out the results of Regan’s quota agreements with Japan. See Honda and Toyota.

Could we all grow up people? Is it even possible in this politically charged country? People in the administration need to be axed. Additionally, your reputation as a reporter is not in any way more important than your country. There was a better way to handle this.

I resist posting anything that is political on this platform. Too many see my thumbnail and make assumptions. But, any member of the administration on the signal feed needs to do the right thing and resign. Any member.

It’s important to hear every side of an argument. Fear manifests anger. Anger begets anger. What are you really trying to achieve? What are you afraid of?

Folks, this concept isn’t possible. Let’s get our act together.

THE US CYBERSECURITY SHIELD HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR RUSSIA Let’s be clear about this, last week the United States on orders from SecDef Hegseth, has ceased monitoring, identifying, tracking, preventing or alerting anyone to Russian cyber attacks. No activity at all is permitted. Nobody now even now

NYC isn’t the center of the world. It’s not the beating heart of America. We just think it is.

There's been so much publicity about the now-Oscar-winning doc No Other Land being unable to find a U.S. distributor (which is appalling) that some people may not realize it's currently on 100 screens here. In Manhattan you can see it at Film Forum; in Brooklyn it's at Alamo Drafthouse.

It these moments of media and political driven angst. Just remember, there are 340,100,000 other Americans, each with a unique opinion and voice just as important as your own. That’s a big part of American experience.

The only economic formula that actually works. It’s too bad it was ignored by the post-covid economists that taught it to us.

First what is GDP? It adds spending up in the following formula C + I + G + (X - M) = Y where C = consumption I = investment G = government X = exports M = imports Y = GDP Because imports surged in January, tracking for M explodes higher...mechanically lowering Y.

Clever. Love it.

The first step of game development is deciding whether the hero collects coins or orbs. This is a painstaking process - solving the Coins or Orbs Question can take years

The Matrix has you.

America First means America Alone. America First means America Amoral. America First means America Weaker. Abroad, America First means America aligned with dictators. At home, America First means government by plutocrats, crooks, and foreign stooges.

NY Streets are busy. Stop looking at your phones, at least when you cross the street. It’s dangerous for you and for everyone else in you 10 foot radius.

Deliver pizza to the House floor.

one time I accidentally brought a pizza to a gunfight instead of a gun and we ate the pizza and resolved differences until the last slice of pizza was up for grabs and a gunfight broke out

The super meaningless things we hang our hats on.

Elon Musk wearing a baseball hat in the Oval Office reminded me of right-wing outrage when President Obama hoisted a selfie stick
