“I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“We will, however, guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists.”
The president's message comes after federal authorities shot and killed pr...

We've argued for ages that whoever becomes the Fed Chair immediately shifts two notches more dovish. Yes, inflation is painful, but by definition, it typically takes time, and is more of a “slow bleed” that is often masked in the early stages. Recession hits pretty hard, pretty quickly. You really think the Fed Chair errs towards fighting inflation rather than keeping the economy running smoothly? (They got ...
