I shake my head in mourning for our educational system every time I see a Trump sign in the window or unkempt front yard of a rented house. My astonishment grows every time I see the Trump Flag flying on the pole of the little bullfighting ring as I drive by it on the Escalon Belota road, where all the signage is in Spanish.

Thank you for speaking the truth, even while you are under the weather with Covid. I appreciate it. Truth and justice DO matter. Lies, misinformation and the enduring propaganda are fooling so many, causing a painful, cruel downward trajectory.

It'll be the year that's like every single day in his sad life: he’ll adopt any position and do any thing that makes HIM a penny or puts HIM in the spotlight.

Stress does not help recovery so it is good you take more time to give your body a chance to heal. Diet, fresh air and hetting out of doors are also good. I am a believer in science, medicine but also reasonable supplements especially for those of us over 60y. And of course no tobacco and extremely limited alcohol or abstinence. Health is a conscious effort utilizing all hands on deck to maintain. My spouse and I even utilize a personal trainer twice a week as money well spent for two 80+ seniors to stay independent.

You are valuable to us so please keep Truth Matters well by caring for you and may good health be there for you and all your readers.

Thank you for your very kind words Joe, I don’t smoke or drink, but my diet could be better I have to admit. I plan to spend some time in the garden, because I don’t want to infect others. Just a day to do nothing I think will help.

There’s a reason why the Constitution assigns the tariff power to Congress. Congressional committees analyze and determine the costs and benefits of proposed tariffs. Trump claims an economic emergency allows him unilateral decision making, a questionable assumption, with disastrous results. The Bureau of Labor Statistics found dismal job growth for June and July so of course Trump fired the director. Yes Dems have corporate masters but they have to win Congress to stop the madness.

Than you for your kind words Frances. I know I can be a little verbose, but there’s so many facets to the situation

Get well Martin. Once again, thank you for your incredible service to uphold the truth. Your writing is truly outstanding! I’m exhausted reading all the news and I live in Australia far away from the chaos. I can’t imagine what it must be like living amongst the dismantling of democratic norms in America. Unfortunately, until the majority of the population wake up, it may be too late! 😞

So sorry you are ill. Thank you for such a clear and concise rundown of what has happened is happening and will happen. It’s terrible people didn’t see this ages ago or at least some did not.

Get well ❤️‍🩹

Am I wrong in thinking that having "equity" in a company involves buying a part of that company via shares or investment in future production?

If this is so, doesn't it mean that Intel is offering to "sell" 10% of the company to the Government, meaning that Trump will GIVE money to Intel rather than receiving money?

Please let me know if I'm misinterpreting this.
