She wants to cash in on the conservative media grift maybe?

No this is typical of not worrying about consequences now that I'm retiring or not working for them. I hate it when they become truth sayers when they are not in the club anymore.

It would be like former Cali congressmen Eric Swallowswell coming out and dropping names now that he's been kicked out from the dem party he has nothing to lose by telling the truth and throwing his former political friends under the bus.

I will be glued to the Weather Channel. First chance of rain in nearly two months this evening here in NE Oklahoma.

I will be watching neither the circus or the NFL. The boycott of the NFL continues.

President Donald Trump promised on Wednesday to send every adult American citizen a $5,000 "dividend" if Republicans keep control of both the Senate and House of Representatives in the midterms.


"If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000," Trump told the crowd at the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas. "It will be called the Trump dividend."



Totalling 1.35 trillon dollars they say.

Coming in hot straight from the printing press.

QE.

More or less immediately translated into a continued inflation of the stock market bubble, and inflated costs of living. As always.

So, just think if you vote for your "Trump" you can buy 2.5 x iphone Duo's - has to be worth it for you Americans.
