#IranWar - Benchmark Brent Crude oil price reached $91+ today, at the same time Whiskey Pete warmonger was testifying to Congress that the unwelcome & unwanted #War has already cost 37.5 billion US Taxpayer dollars - not including the massive costs of rebuilding damaged US bases in the region, replacing depleted armaments, & the costs to US and global economies. The #Pentagon and #TrumpRegime are asking for a $1.5 trillion budget for even more arms & to fight more wars. This…at a time when #Republicans have slashed #Medicaid; reduced or eliminated #SNAP benefits; curtailed & defunded scientific research, including Cancer research, and are eyeballing reductions in #SocialSecurity & #Medicare. All for a disgusting display of macho-man aggression, promoted by Trump’s Israeli handler (Netanyahu has to have something on him) & fueled by maniacal male madness. WTAF⁉️Meanwhile, gas prices are back⬆️, rent is ridiculous, and buying a house or new car breaks the bank. So much for #affordability. #USPol #USPolitics

#ICE to Pay #ThomsonReuters $125 Million to Find ‘Voter Fraud’
The Department of #HomelandSecurity (#DHS ) plans to pay data broker giant Thomson #Reuters $125 million for access to its databases of personal data — which includes peoples’ names, addresses, #SocialSecurity numbers, ethnicity, #socialmedia posts, and #geolocation information — to help #Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) investigate what it describes as “voters fraud” and immigration fraud, according to procurement documents reviewed by 404 Media. The document says Thomson Reuters is able to let ICE continuously monitor millions of people and entities of interest.

Congress says Social Security is six years from insolvency. At the same time, it keeps finding $100 billion plus for a war in Iran and half a billion for a no-bid White House ballroom. For young voters, that trade-off means a shakier retirement and a tougher path to owning a home.

Billionaires stop paying Social Security tax after their first $185K. Everything above that is free money to them. 95% of us pay on every dollar we earn all year.
Fair?

A few questions for MAGA supporters.
1 Do you know Trump’s position on making Social Security sustainable? Better look it up? 2 Have you heard anything lately about his “great” new health plan - coming in a few months — ten years ago? 3 Are you pleased he kept us out of foreign wars? 4 Was there a quick resolution of the Ukraine war employing his negotiating skills with Putin? 5 Has the deficit been lowered or our national debt been paid down using the high tariffs as promised? 6 Has there been a comprehensive […]https://quinnscommentary.net/2026/07/14/a-few-questions-for-maga-supporters/

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jul/13/disability-benefits-why-we-shouldnt-call-it-welfare. I agree entirely with Ruth Lister - #socialsecurity #benefits, especially those for the #disabled, should not be referred to, either by #politicians or #journalists, as #welfare. "Welfare" is, or has become, a demeaning & contemptuous term.

Mmmm. Trump Accounts. “That’s a lot of money,” the ad says. Your baby is given $1k at birth. You can’t afford to contribute more because inflation.
In 50 years, you will have $7,106.68 at 4% (generous!) compound interest.
Oh, and tell your baby that that replaces Social Security.

😬 U.S. retirees don't get a fair share of #SocialSecurity, etc.—"for #Medicare [they get] TRIPLE what they paid in."
Jessica Riedl adds, "the math doesn’t work": https://freakonomics.com/podcast/ten-myths-about-the-u-s-tax-system
And the #USA spends more on #retirement welfare recipients of these programs than on any other federal budget item! So these may be the lowest-hanging fruits in terms of fiscal #policy.
Given these are probably third rail issues, how can we actually right-size retirement welfare programs to get the U.S. #budget back on track?
Is there a way to make retirement reform a winning issue without votes from aging #welfare kings and queens?
