We kind of only know Natalie Harp from photos — traveling and being with Trump 24/7, running after his golf cart, doing his Truth Social posts.

Thankfully there will be two NFL games on to watch instead of this convention.
Everything I need to know about MIGA I have learned in the last six months!
Gunna’ watch those games as I patiently wait for my mail in ballot to arrive. During half time I might check in with my Unions PAC to make sure they are getting my donations. (99.9% goes to Democrats).
Football & Socialism, let’s get ‘er done.
I lose less brain cells watching WWE, so I’ll pass.
September 2026
White Voters: 53% support Paxton, while 33% to 39% support Talarico.
“Talarico led Black voters 71 percent to 8 percent and
Latino voters 66 percent to 20 percent, while Paxton led white voters 53 percent to 33 percent.” — [CBS News].
the lindsey clancy trial and reactions is probably a bigger deal than any of this crap
but hey, whatever floats your boat
Trump promising $5000 to every adult if Republicans win the house and senate. He can’t stop lying and he only looks to mammon for solutions. It wont be his money, it would be the taxpayers, so look for this to appear on his impeachment papers next year.
Politicians have made a career out of paying people to vote for them. Trump has taken the grift to an all new level. He is the G.O.A.T. in grifting.
Bessent will wittle the qualifications for the $5K down to black women that make less than $20K/year.
+$5/gallon gasoline and +$7/gallon diesel is unsustainable. The economy is configured for low fuel prices indefinitely. The result of high fuel prices will be even worse inflation, higher interest rates, shortages, delays and failures in repair and maintenance of everything, unemployment, and another Wall Street financial crisis.
Financial markets, like everything else are also configured on the premise that fuel prices remain low indefinitely. If this premise doesn’t hold, inflation and interest rates spike and financial markets crash. Real estate, big tech, bonds and all the rest go into the financial dumpster too.
The U.S. Government will respond to the next financial crisis the same way it did in 1982 (Mexican peso), 1987, 2000 (dot com) and 2008 (real estate); with a gigantic bailout for their Wall Street friends. This will require printing huge amounts of money to make Wall Street solvent. The resulting extra dose of high-test inflation will also make existing bonds and fixed rate debts easier to pay off.
Inflation is always a friend to creditors and an enemy of debtors by destroying the value of the money used to pay back debts. That is why countries like Argentina must borrow and pay back loans in USD, no one wants their perpetually inflated-to-nothing currency. The U.S. Government, with its +40 trillion debt looks like it will be joining the disreputable club of nations that destroy their debts through inflation, impoverishing those who hold its financial obligations.
No need to worry though, Wall Street will be ok as they buy up tangible assets now with debt that will be inflated away later.
>>> respond to the next financial crisis the same way it did in 1982 (Mexican peso), 1987, 2000 (dot com) and 2008 (real estate);
That trick only works for a time.
Eventually it wears thin and suddenly it won’t work , it causes a panic at the end .
We’re starting to see problems today, oil is surging above 100 and bonds breaking out .
Even more telling is copper, which is falling hard. Copper is very key, as a primary industrial metal , a harbinger of things to come.
Even the strongest elephant can be overloaded and American is that beast , used to exhaustion.
Correction: Inflation is always a friend to debtors and an enemy of creditors . . .
Inflation erodes debts by decreasing the value of the currency the debt must be repaid in. Creditors get paid back in money that has lost a portion of its purchasing power because of inflation.
