Oh, and by the way…👇 In the first quarter of 2025, there were 88 Chapter 12 farm bankruptcy filings in the U.S. …up from 45 in Q1 2024.  In the second quarter of 2025, 93 additional filings were reported. Is this the part where the orange felon is making America great again?

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

I’m watching Gaslight (for maybe the 20th time) - when even an abusive, sociopathic gaslighter was at least debonair and cultured. Ingrid Bergman’s performance is stunning btw. And Angela Lansbury (17 years old) as the insolent housemaid….. just superb.

Hey American farmers, Trump just doubled Argentina's bailout from $20 billion to $40 billion. That's the same Argentina that, because of Trump's tariffs, has now supplanted ALL of America's soybean sales to China. Trump sold you out – then gave the guy who benefited an extra $40 billion gift.
