WSJ - Trump’s letter to Epstein for his 50th birthday has the outline of a naked woman, small arcs denoting breasts with a squiggly ’Donald’ signature below her waist, mimicking pubic hair. It concludes: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.” https://www.wsj.com/politics/trump-jeffrey-epstein-birthday-letter-we-have-certain-things-in-common-f918d796
FFOTUS' new big awful ugly bill has a rarely noticed provision to effectively eliminate taxes on startup founder's income. It is a gift of prodigious size to the mega-$billionaires who kow tow to FFOTUS.
I am wondering if one could structure a consulting (or other) business as a startup in which you are are the sole holder of voting stock and also the sole holder of a pool of non-voting stock (yup, that's not only allowed, it is rather common practice.)
Then as you do jobs the client could purchase some of those non-voting shares from you.
Would that result in tax free income? I dunno, but it deserves a looking into.

BREAKING: Democrats go for Donald Trump's jugular on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and demand that MAGA Attorney General Pam Bondi be forced to testify along with other top administration officials.
And it gets even better...
“The Trump DOJ and FBI’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein matter and President Trump’s suddenly shifting positions, have not restored anyone’s trust in the government but have rather raised profound new questions about their own conduct while increasing public paranoia related to the investigation,” Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee wrote in a letter to committee chairman Jim Jordan.
“Only a bipartisan public hearing at which Administration officials answer direct questions from elected representatives before the eyes of the American people can restore public trust on the matter,” they added.
Bondi previously stated that the Epstein client list was sitting on her desk to he reviewed. Later, a Justice Department memo claimed that there was no list, that there was no evidence of an Epstein blackmail list, and that there was no evidence that he was murdered. Now, Trump is absurdly claiming that there are unreleased Epstein files but they were written by Barack Obama and so should be ignored.
In their letter, these top Democrats also called for FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to testify and for subpoenas to be issued if they refuse. They wrote that such hearings would "go a long way toward restoring some public trust in the integrity of federal law enforcement."
The Democrats further called for an investigation into whether Trump himself has something to hide in this case. Such a probe is absolutely necessary given his erratic, suspicious behavior and the fact that Elon Musk has alleged that he’s implicated in the files.
At this point, the most benign explanation is that Bondi and other MAGA figures knowingly lied about this case to feed the flames of conspiracy theories and excite the Republican base. If that is indeed the case, they should all resign in shame immediately. If the truth is darker, they should be prosecuted.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Tue Jul 15 2025
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:
1. Northeastern and north-central Gulf (AL93):
Satellite and radar data indicate that the low pressure area moving across the northern Florida peninsula continues to produce disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity, mainly to the south and southwest of its center. The system is forecast to move westward, and it could emerge over the far northeastern and north-central Gulf, possibly approaching the coast of Louisiana on
Thursday. Environmental conditions over the Gulf appear generally favorable for additional development, and a tropical depression could form if the system moves far enough offshore over the next couple of days.
Regardless of development, heavy rainfall could produce localized flash flooding over portions of Florida through Wednesday. Heavy rainfall could also cause flash flooding for portions of the north-central Gulf Coast beginning late Wednesday and continuing through Friday. For additional information, please refer to products issued by your local National Weather Service office.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

So the incessantly lying Trump regime's claiming to go after "waste, fraud & abuse" but is very soon going to burn 500 metric tons of emergency food to ashes, originally meant to save the lives of starving children in Afghanistan & Pakistan?
No trace at all of Christian faith to discover in such spiteful & cruel waste carried out by psychopath Trump's un-American pathocracy.
It's the same psychopathic indifference to human life like expressed by cutting food assistance (SNAP) formerly supporting millions get through the hardships of daily life in an economy botched & wrecked by ignorant deadbeats, blowhards & braggarts like Donald J. Trump.
No surprise his own niece called him a "mass-murderer", who let hundreds of thousands Americans avoidably & miserably die during his first term's COVID pandemic.
Psychopaths should have no place in U.S. government.

4 of the #lawyers Reuters spoke with said there was a widespread concern that attorneys would be forced to make arguments that could violate attorney #ethics rules, or refuse assignments & risk being fired.
Those fears grew when #DOJ leadership fired a fmr supervisor in the Office of #Immigration Litigation, a separate Civil Division unit, accusing him of failing to forcefully defend the admin’s position in the case of #KilmarAbregoGarcia, the man wrongly deported to El Salvador.
